Last Thanksgiving I posted "Alice's Restaurant" this year, I'll post Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving Song. Happy Thanksgiving everyone and even if it is not your holiday, take a minute and think about something you have to be thankful for. I know I am thankful for meeting all of you!

I’ve got my camera until now, up and running.
As the rest of the world has done away with those old-fashioned technologies I wonder if they still use them in Russia. This maybe a stupid question but I really don’t know if they do. Gonna have a look see the first thing tomorrow.
There was a time when some brave people did those things themselves: the colour film developing and sometimes even photograph printing, all of which involved complex, time consuming and life threatening fooling around with fancy chemicals. I for one wasn’t that much brave myself so was only able to develop into someone who could make slides or transparencies. But if you had the patience to mount a projector and rig up a bed-sheet to serve as a screen satisfaction out of watching those slides was money in the bank.

So those of you who follow this thread know I love a good mashup and at the end of each year an album of them is created called Best of Bootie. This year there just didn't seem to be a lot of them on there that I liked; but, there was one that just made me want to get up out of my bed and maybe go for a walk, or... knock somebody out! It mashes up one of my all time favs one-hit-wonders, Dexy's Midnight Runners "Come on Eileen" AND LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out"

Knock Out Eileen...

You don't know, what you do to me (What you do to me)
All I see, is new to me (New to me)
Just four dollar bars, and embelished strong
Said you had, done me wrong
But we'll see (We'll see)
Yeah, what you do to me (What you do to me)

(In the meantime, in the meantime, they won't bother me. )

They don't bother you, well they don't bother me
Engine too loud in this brand new Ferrari V
So we couldn't hear the haters anyway, pardon me
Girls say I'm one of the biggest hearbreakers arguably
Cupid shoot arrows but this girl make my heart bleed
I swear to God if I die she could make my heart beat
Beat, please resuscitate a G
Give me mouth-to-mouth or even give me south-to mouth
Damn 'cause you don't know what she do to me
She could kill my soul only thing left is a eulogy
She so hot and ain't another brother cool as me
To get her cold as me I think I gotta buy her jewelry
What she do to me

Darling no, ha, what you do to me (what you do to me)
All I see, yeah, is new to me (Is new to me)
These strange colors, and all the others, no they can't see
(Done me wrong, we'll see, we'll see)
Oh mama, what you do to me (what you do to me)

(In the meantime, in the meantime, they won't bother me. )

(Verse Two - Billy Danze)
I'm from the hell hole
The total opposite of Melrose
Is where the homies get the money through the steel doors
If you don't know me I suggest you ask your kinfolk
Tell them the man here
Billy Danze here
Black Keys here
MO-P's here
You say its poppin' if its rockin' listen we there

(You don't know)
Come on be clear
(Whatever you do to me)
You could never ruin me
I'm good, I flooded the hood like A.C.
I'm modest - so you ain't really gotta praise me
I'm the artist, that's ghetto-ly known as O.G.
With the (Magnum)
With forever kid (Swagger) You could never get

Darling no, ha, what you do to me (what you do to me)
All I see, yeah, is new to me (Is new to me)
These strange colors, and all the others, no they can't see
(Done me wrong, we'll see, we'll see)
Oh mama, what you do to me (what you do to me)

(In the meantime, in the meantime, they won't bother me. )

I recently learned that heroes of my youth twenty years back are still at it. You might not call that Cutting Edge though. Here's Mekong Delta, Overture:

Robin

Grammy's Song of the year:

YouTube - Need You Now by Lady Antebellum [[LYRICS ON SCREEN]]

The first two are timeless classics, the third one is something completely different but I've been listening to it a fair bit lately. I actually haven't heard all of MCR's new album, but I like what I have heard of it.

I like Planetary (GO!) from their new album as well


Another song we are listening to in our household is by Adele, Rolling In The Deep
Just song and Lyrics


Official Video (but it's Vevo so I don't think all of you can watch it!)
YouTube - Adele - Rolling In The Deep

Heard this one on the radio yesterday and the DJ was correct... you have to get past the intro of the song as it is a bit country and then it really starts to rock and once you have heard it a few times you sort of forget about the fact that the intro bothers you any more. The band is Seether and they are from South Africa, Seether - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The song is called, aptly titled... "Country Song" from their soon to be released new album "Holding On to Strings Better Left to Fray"



Lyrics:
Well I can't stand to look at you now
This revelation's out of my hands
Still I can't bear the thought of you now
This complication's leaving me scared

Stay when you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey keep your sickness off me
Trying to get through
Blame all your weakness on me
Shame that I'm so contrite
Hey keep your fingers off me
Why can't I get through?

You think you have the best of intentions
I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth

Chorus
(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's,
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
You got me thinking that the party's all over

Well I can't stand to be myself
This liberation's seemingly rare
And I can't stand the taste your mouth
This sublimation's out of my hands

You can stay 'cause you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey keep your sickness off me
I'm tryin to get through
Shame you could take this from me
Bane on an empty mind
Hey keep your fingers off me
Why can't I get through?

Chorus
(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
You got me thinking that the party's all over

(Guitar Solo)

Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down 'cause I'm trying to get through

Say what you want but you're not gonna win this time
Take what you want but just leave me alive
(x 2)

Chorus
(Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
(Hey) all done and all over now (whoa)
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
(Hey) My ship is sinking but it's,
(Hey) all good and I can go down (whoa)
You got me thinking that the party's all over

Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down 'cause I'm trying to get through
(x 2)

this is a big thread. i look forward to going through it during my time here. here's a quick video of music that i'm currently into right now. late 60's french music:



i don't have an extensive knowledge of the genre. i mainly go through youtube to listen to it. i hope to have a nice collection on my ipod shortly though. that song i posted is by far my favorite so far.

Got brass in pocket
Got bottle I'm gonna use it
Intention I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Got motion restrained emotion
Been driving detroit leaning
No reason just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

[Chorus:]
Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination

'cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special so special
I gotta have some of your attention give it to me

Got rhythm I can't miss a beat
Got new skank it's so reet
Got something I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

[Chorus]

'cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I gotta have some of your attention
Give it to me
'cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I gotta have some of your attention

Give it to me

I don't know if anyone besides me will understand the relationship here..
.. but Chrissie Hynde's "Brass in Pocket" is one of the songs I was raised on.. And I always got her confused, from the sound of her voice, with Edie Brickell.. so here's another one you may like, if you like Chrissie Hynde..
YouTube - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians - What I Am <-- YT
edie brickell - what i am :: Вы смотрите канал: duncan_org_ua :: :: Видео на RuTube <-- rutube <dot> ru (in case for RU people the youtube link won't play, as I know it's happened before - this is her live, and not as good as the album version IMHO, but still something)

Let me know if you think it's or

PS - Lyrics:
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow waters
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or

Oh, I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean
Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if you know what I mean, d-doo yeah

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?
What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what you are and

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep
Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

CoffeeCup!!! Why have you not told us about Swedish House Mafia?? You're our club/dance music expert!! Shame on you!

They have a new song coming out May 13th "Save The World"

Here is their official Teaser:


Here is an bootleg of the full song that apparently is a little too fast...
YouTube - Save The World (Tonight) - Swedish House Mafia [hd;hq] featuring John Martin


This is their previous hit: One (Your Name)

@Rockzmom: I didn't know you were a fance of dance and electronic music!! There are hundreds of great examples, I'll have to post some for you.

In the meantime, I've been listening recently to a few people who've caught my ear in Russian music.. Like a lot of us, I started listening so I could learn to hear and understand more vocabulary.. But this one has grown on me.

LYRICS: Я из памяти стираю дождями по стеклу / Я буду ластиком — фантастика! / Убегаю, улетаю, а он прозрачным стал / Я с чистого листа хочу листать! / А нас просто не было / Всё как во сне было до поры / Игры для memory / Только зачем? Просто молчи / Сердце, о ком ты плачешь и кричишь? / Ведь он тебя не приручил, совсем не приручил! / Просто сотри пароли, ключи, / И никому о нём не говори, / Сотри его из memory! Сотри его из memory! Сотри!
Я из памяти стираю, я обнулю его / И больше никого после него. / Понимаю, забываю, и это просто так: / Он там, где пустота, совсем растаял. / А нас просто не было, Всё как во сне было до поры, / Игры для memory / Только зачем? Просто молчи, / Сердце, о ком ты плачешь и кричишь? / Ведь он тебя не приручил, совсем не приручил! / Просто сотри пароли, ключи, / И никому о нём не говори, / Сотри его из memory! Сотри его из memory! Сотри!
Только зачем? Просто молчи, / Сердце, о ком ты плачешь и кричишь? /Ведь он тебя не приручил, совсем не приручил! /
Просто сотри пароли, ключи, / И никому о нём не говори, / Сотри его из memory! Сотри его из memory! Сотри! Сотри его!

And also.. I'm a producer and DJ and I've seen that DFM.RU is holding a remix contest for this song. The stems can be gotten off of their main website and the contest deadline is May 10. I think the prize is radio airplay time on DFM. Not sure if anyone beyond me has interest in this last part, but just throwing it in there.

This may not be my typical style of music, but I just found out the other day that this singer is actually a former classmate of mine who now lives in Canada. And on Sunday she is going to perform live here in my hometown, where we are going to have a bit of a reunion with a number of other former classmates from 25 years ago...

That is an understatement! Hey but seriously, are you going to jam with her??? If so, ya know we want videos!!!

@kidkboom ... ah we have a dj/producer in da house! Have you competed in any of the mashstix challenges or have anything up on their site? I really am into mashups almost more than original songs now; but, the club remixes can have toooooo long of an intro for me. That is why I have been bugging our resident German, bitpicker, to help me out lately as I really like the mashups by Mashup Germany and while he uses mainly songs in English, he always seems to throw one German one in there and I need translations! I also like Dylan Vasey from London.

Jarod Ripley (French) has the best mashup I've heard using Adele's Rolling in the Deep

I don't think so, I only teach myself those instruments, nothing you'd want to hear live.

To set you at ease regarding the understatement yesterday I went to see Mekong Delta live. That's more like me...
