youtube rocks

i just realised that songs i mention in my blog do get noticed!
so here are 2 more that really means something to me :)

Jamie Lidell, sounding much like Khalil Fong, happy old school soul,
is just the kinda song that i wanna sing and write!



and there is one homemade video that *can you believe it* i always go back to...
ALWAYS.
once in a while i will click on it and replay it over and over again.


mr Alain DeCourtenay's cover of Stevie Wonder's Knocks Me Off My Feet.
in my humble opinion this rocks my boat much more than the original version.

not to mention his dashing good looks.
mmm :9

i love.

my taste in music is very focused.
i'm by far for R&B/hip-hop, or swinging the other extreme,
a fan of acoustic pop-jazz chillout sounds,
or generally Lush FM playlists.

i was never a fan of the raw, organic, live band sound.
but there are treasures.

my all time favourites include
very chill tracks like Walking After You by the Foo Fighers,




or Handbags and Gladrags by Stereophonics



all the pores in my skin dilate when he sings the first line.
the scratchiness in his voice... i love best in the first two lines.





i am recently haunted by David Cook's overnight success of Always Be My Baby,
which I played over and over on my little tape when I was 12 years old.



I loved that song, and to have it covered so well definitely adds 10 points to Cook.
I've never heard any other song he performed on Idol, and can't be bothered to find out.
I'll just stick to this for the meantime.






i was never a fan of Jason Mraz either.
but this clip -
its simplicity, cleanliness, the preciseness of the backing vocals and phrasing of lyrics to melody, the eerily still audience,
it is definitive for me.
it has made me fall in love.



i do think he has found his perfect partner.
