Sounds like something Robin might like!

=====================================

Okay, so I was talking about the new TV show "The Good Guys" and the songs they are using... Last night it was on again and I missed most of it AGAIN but it made me remember that I needed to come back and post the songs. So, sure enough someone has already started a Web site that has a list of the songs (makes this too easy!) so here they are:

The theme song is based on the full version of "The Whip" - Locksley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUQAz7w6svU

1.1 Pilot
"I Fought the Law" - The Clash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBeT4ptY9sY
"She Does" - Locksley (?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Oc0sd0RMVY
"20th Century Boy" - T-Rex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xcpoOOfc24
"The Stroke" - Billy Squier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy8N0PGvq8A
"Thunderstruck" - AC/DC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvoeeq-BH4w

1.2: Bait and Switch (it seems odd that there are only two songs.. maybe the person could only figure out these two?)
"Crazy on You" - Heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZuW6BH_Vak
"Rock You Like a Hurricane" - The Scorpions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw_Lf-JhdSU

1.3: Broken Door Theory
"Solid Gold Easy Action" - T. Rex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDTXtXNrHOk
"These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" - Nancy Sinatra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRkovnss7sg
"My Boyfriend's Back" - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suQKGBeYQX4
"Travelin' Band" - Creedence Clearwater Revival http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwcJ5WQSamQ
"Lady Venom" - Swollen Members http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPIVTRD_iKU

They don't have the songs up for the rest of the episodes but last night I did hear this one:
"Jukebox Hero" - Foreigner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_qhnWByA4

Didn’t the Scorpions’ lead singer’s accent jar native speakers’ ears? Just because of that I personally didn’t like the band very much, although there have been nice melodies created by the group throughout its career.

Not that I recall... anyone else?

====================
So the next Twilight film, Eclipse, is due out soon and the album has been released and while these movies are "chick flicks" the films have been great for bands and indie musicians! Muse has had a great increase in their popularity due to the films and they have another great song on the new soundtrack and a fantastic video to go with it:

Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTvgnYGu9bg

Also, late last year I posted about the singer Sia. She too has a song on the soundtrack:
My Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMlRGYFjwoM

Another nice one is from the UK band The Bravery called "Ours" but I can't find a link to it, so if anyone can... please post one!

This is just a cute and funny music video... it will make your day... no special effects, no cgi... just a great concept, great casting and acting and probably a low budget!

Ufortunately I don't know French

So, what does it take to make you a famous songwriter/singer over night? Try having your song on a hit tv show!

That is what has happened to Christina Perri and her song, Jar of Hearts. Just three weeks ago, Christina was an unsigned artist waiting tables in Beverly Hills, Ca. Her song was used on the show "So You Think You Can Dance" and iTunes picked it up and it is now ranked 23rd on Billboard's Digital Music Charts!

Due to the amazing popularity of the song, So You Think You Can Dance asked her to come on the show this past week and perform the song live.

Here is that performance:

More "cutting edge" news....

I've posted before about Curt Smith from Tears for Fears... well tonight (July 21st) he is hosting a brand new live streaming series called "Stripped Down Live." http://strippeddownlive.com/ to watch the show, you go here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/stripped-down-live

Each episode of Stripped Down will focus on one band bringing in “stripped down” versions of five to seven of their songs, with Smith using his musical knowledge to engage the bands in discussion. “He’s a musician, he can talk music and has that insight,” Rotman said. “And we’re bringing in bands that he likes and that he knows.” There will also be a section where the band can be asked questions by the online audience.

It sounds as if it will be a musicians musicians sort of show and really a great show to watch/listen to if you want to learn about different maybe less heard of artists!
Here is the YouTube announcement about the show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU6PQpfzxQw


The first artist will be Hypnogaja

Remake of Donna Summer's "On the Radio"

"They Don't Care" - a more rock/metal sound? (Robin, you might care for this one)

I must say at the start ... I have never been a big Eminem fan. His newest number one song, Love The Way You Lie, featuring Rihanna has grown on me very quickly though and the only reason I listen to it was because of all the brouhaha about Rihanna singing on it.

Now Eminem is no stranger to controversial lyrics and Rihanna made headlines a while ago due to her personal life and being her abusive relationship. SO, to team them up for a song that speaks all about an abusive relationship... well... you get people talking. People are saying to boycott the song because of Rihanna and how she should be speaking out against domestic violence. BUT... what is the difference between this song and say... Lady Gaga's Bad Romance? They are both about toxic relationships. The difference is that Love the Way You Lie is in your face here is what it feels like and is emotionally performed, while other songs about "bad romance" are catchy little nothings soon to be forgotten.

The music video for Love the Way You Lie is to be released this week. It will be interesting to see how the song is "visually" portrayed.
Here is a live version of the song until the music video is out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eac7tmXVg

This is one of those things that you just wonder, is it lip syncing or what??

Mixing two threads here for a minute...

Okay, so for those of you who helped out with my request to vote know that part of the prize was the premiere in New York and the AfterParty. Well the party was on a rooftop and it was a picture perfect night! They had a female DJ and as part of her act she brings in a female electric violinist. I recorded as much as I could with my cell phone and I also found a 2 minute clip of another performance that they did in June in NY at Ellis Island so you can see the New York skyline behind them as it is twilight.

If you want to watch the clip I made, here is a link (it's almost 7 minutes)

I hadn't paid this song much attention until now, but actually a very good song. Sent shivers down my spine.

I forgot to post the video for this song! It is a mini movie that tells the story of the song very well. The video stars actress Megan Fox and actor Dominic Monaghan.

And here are the lyrics:

Love the Way You Lie

[Chorus - Rihanna]
just gonna stand there and watch me burn
that’s alright because i like the way it hurts
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
that’s alright because i love the way you lie
i love the way you lie

[Eminem - Verse 1]
i can’t tell you what it really is
i can only tell you what it feels like
and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
i can’t breathe but i still fight while i can fight
as long as the wrong feels right it’s like i’m in flight
high off of love drunk from my hate
it’s like i’m huffin’ paint and i love it the more i suffer, i suffocate
and right before i’m about to drown, she resuscitates me, she fuckin’ hates me
and i love it, wait, where you goin’?
i’m leavin’ you, no you ain’t come back
we’re runnin’ right back, here we go again
so insane, cause when it’s goin’ good its goin’ great
i’m superman with the wind in his back, she’s Lois Lane
but when its bad its awful, i feel so ashamed i snap
whose that dude? i don’t even know his name
i laid hands on her
i never stoop so low again
i guess i don’t know my own strength

[chorus]

[Eminem - Verse 2]
you ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
when you with em you meet and neither one of you even know what hit em
got that warm fuzzy feeling
yeah them chills used to get em
now you’re getting fuckin’ sick of lookin’ at em
you swore you’d never hit em, never do nothin’ to hurt em
now you’re in each other’s face spewin’ venom in your words when you spit em
you push pull each other’s hair
scratch claw hit em throw em down pin em
so lost in the moments when you’re in em
it’s the face that’s the culprit, controls ya both,
so they say it’s best to go your seperate ways
guess that they don’t know ya
cause today that was yesterday
yesterday is over, it’s a different day
sound like broken records playin’ over
but you promised her next time you’ll show restraint
you don’t get another chance
life is no nintendo game, but you lied again,
now you get to watch her leave out the window
guess that’s why they call it window pane

[Chorus]

[Eminem - Verse 3]
now i know we said things, did things, that we didn’t mean
and we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
but your temper’s just as bad as mine is, you’re the same as me
when it comes to love you’re just as blinded
baby please come back, it wasn’t you, baby it was me
maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems
maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
all i know is i love you too much to walk away though
come inside, pick up the bags off the sidewalk
don’t you hear sincerity in my voice when i talk?
told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
next time i’m pissed ill aim my fist at the drywall
next time there won’t be no next time
i apologize even though i know its lies
i’m tired of the games i just want her back
i know i’m a liar if she ever tries to fuckin’ leave again
i’ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

[chorus]




here is another link in case you folks are black listed for first version

Rihanna is easily one of my favourite mainstream modern pop/RnB artists. Eminem isn't my favourite rapper of all time, but I do think he's pretty good. (Although the tendancy of some rappers to make bad puns annoys me... "now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that’s why they call it window pane"... COME ON!)

Nooooooooooooooooooo... that is one of my FAVORITE lines in the song!! My daughter also likes "you don’t get another chance, life is no nintendo game"

I posted the song "Airplanes" earlier by B.O.B and there is another line like that..." But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood." I thought that was a good one too, why DO we call it the hood?

So the latest song that I have been in love with is "Secrets" by OneRepublic. It is interesting that this song came out first in Germany and Australia but not in other countries, so Bitpicker, you may have heard this one on the radio long before we did. For us in the States, this song came to our attention with LOST and the movie "The Apprentice" and it was finally released in June as a single. It is in my head as I write which is sometimes very annoying as I can't focus but it goes along with the current part of the storyline that I am writing!

Song: Secrets
Artist: OneRepublic
Album: Waking Up
Composer: Ryan Tedder
Year: 2009/2010

Lyrics:
I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
