nobody@vox.com(Mark) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 18:25:18 -0500

The above video is from Radiohead's blog. Here is the original song by Portishead. I love it when an artist I really like is a fan of another artist I really like (or something like that).

I was listening to Madonna's album, Hard Candy (I know, I need to move to another album ... I promise I listen to a million other things at the same time), and I noticed how the song, "Incredible", has the line, "You don't know what you've got 'ti...

Stardust

Benny Benassi

nobody@vox.com(Mark) — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 23:19:08 -0500

I have been wanting to listen to my Benny Benassi(Hypnotica) CD lately. My favorite song on the album is "Love Is Gonna Save Us". The song is romantic and sad at the same time, and it has this part that I call the "wind" part that is just perfect....
