The songs I can't stop listening to 1/11/13

1. Run-D.M.C. - "Rock Box"
2. The Supremes - "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes"
3. Tori Amos - "Give"
4. The Field Mice - "Let's Kiss And Make-Up"
5. dälek - "Corrupt (Knuckle Up)"
6. Brandi Carlile - "If There Was No You"
7. John Denver - "For Baby (For Bobbie)"
8. Remi Kabaka, Biddy Wright, Dele Okonkwo and Joni Haastrup - "The Quest" (from Black Goddess)

We start with Run-D.M.C, because why not, and we need to dance a little bit more.

The Supremes' first #1 single!

"Give" is probably my favorite of Tori Amos's later songs.

So you heard
I crossed over the line
Do I have regrets?
Well, not yet
there are some,
some who give Blood
I give love
I give
...
There are some,
some whose give
twists itself to take
they mis-take
who, what made up the line
some say it was pain
or was it shame

This is just a great song. St. Etienne probably made it more famous than The Field Mice did, but they were the original. Late '80's/early 90's brit-pop that you might have missed.

Listening to a lot more hip-hop these days.

Just a really sweet love song from Brandi...

And another sweet love song, from  John Denver...

And then we close with eight minutes of Afro-Jazz. (Actually, there are 19 minutes of Afro-Jazz in the clip below, but the piece I've been listening to is the first eight minutes.)
