Imogen Heap
“Just For Now”
I obtained a copy of “Just for Now” performed live by Imogen Heap. This recording from studio 11 (103.1 FM). Many of you don’t know this, but Imogen’s music is the reason I started this site. If you like the music I post here, and have been touched by any of it, you have her to thank.
Here is the video to this live recording.
John Mayer
“Slow Dancing in a Burning Room”
I felt it appropriate to post a John Mayer Song. In true Digitalcitrus style, however, I had to post an acoustic version. This entire album is fabadabadoo.
Why aren’t you ordering it already?
By the way, John Mayer (and Ben Folds) is coming to Dallas next weekend. I’ll be there. Maybe I’ll see you there? Yes, you should go.
Radiohead
“Exit Music (For a film)”
I don’t know where to begin when it comes with Radiohead. I love Radiohead’s music as much (if not more) than I love cake. And I lerv cake. This song doesn’t begin to tell the story of how great Radiohead is. I truly hope you enjoy this song. I’ve got a playlist of my top Radiohead songs, and I’ve shared it with many friends. If ye want, ye shall receive.
ENJOY! That’s an order mister! (or mrs. or misses?)
David Gray
“This Years love”
“…This years love had better last…”
This is an amazing song. It’s track number eight on the CD, but you’ll be in love with this Album long before you get to it.
I know I’ve taken a sabbatical from the website. I’m back at the helm now though. I’m not sure it’ll be daily updates, but It’ll certainly be frequent.
Anyone have ideas for song choices? I’d like to do a theme. I’d previously been thinking of featuring a song from various countries around the world. What are your ideas? Email ‘em to me: ramdac@ramdac.org
Rufus Wainwright
“Leaving for Paris No. 2″
He is? No. This is a track from his new album, “Release the Stars” coming out on May 15th. The whole CD is pretty good. It’s what you’d expect from Rufus - ornate, unique, and with a bit of classical flair.
Indigo Girls
“Love Will Come to You”
I heard this song for the first time in 2000. I have loved it since. These two girls are amazing musicians. You should listen to more of their work. These girls are all about girl power.
Annie Lennox
“A Whiter Shade of Pale”
As you know, I usually reserve sundays for Classical music. Since this week is ‘cover songs’ week, I figured I’d feature a song whose roots are from a Bach piece — Annie Lennox’s cover of “A Whiter Shade of Pale”, originally written by Procol Harum. You will notice the resemblance to Bach’s “Sleepers awake” and “Air on a G String”. Hundreds of artists have covered this song, but I picked this one.
Annie lennox is a synth-pop godess and diva with an androgynous fashion sense. Her version of this song also affords me a nice segue into next week’s genre i’m calling “Girl power” week. Next week will feature women artists only.
I remember being scared of her when I was younger. I saw her videos on TV and something about her demeanor scared me. She still scares me a bit, but I have learned to respect her. She’s confidant, artistic, and certainly a diva.
