Heard this great song on a movie soundtrack a couple of weeks ago and I had to hunt it down. Now I listen to it all the time and it’s really got me turned onto this cool band, “The Feeling”. They claim both Queen and ELO as influences, but I hear a lot of Fountains of Wayne and just a lot of great Britpop sound.
Whatever their sound is, I like it and want to hear more!
Yeah, this song has been out for awhile now and everyone has heard it on the radio. I think it stands up well, though, seeing as I still enjoy listening to it almost every day.
In a sea of faux punk bands and other such manipulative drek in the top 40 charts, this little song stands out as sincere and pure.
I know this song came out months ago, but My Jukebox is about songs I’m listening to right now. And, even after it’s been out awhile, every time I hear this song it’s in my head for the rest of the day. I just love singing along to it, so it’s not much more complicated than that, right?

It’s great to be back with another Jukebox post this week, as I’m really loving this particular song right now.
I’ve been a Lifehouse fan since their breakthrough hit, Hanging By a Moment, which I thought was one of the best pop songs of the last ten years. Now they’re back with their new album, Who We Are, and I’m loving this first single.

For the first time in 15 years I’ve been able to listen again to the classic Queen album A Night at the Opera. I used to own the CD, but lost it many years ago. Now I’m really enjoying hearing all of these great songs again.
My favorite one on the album is probably “‘39″. Although “You’re My Best Friend” is definitely one of my all-time favorite Queen songs, there’s something about ‘39 that is just jubilantly strange. It’s played and sung in the style of a classic late 60s or early 70s folk song. However, it’s actually about a science fiction space voyage, and how a traveler must feel after being away from the earth for only a year, but having over a century pass back home.
Since hearing it again, it’s been playing in my head for days. Sing along!

As part of my ongoing efforts to break out of the stupor that I’ve been in, I’ve gone back to watching the entire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer once again. For the first time in three years, I’m watching the whole show from beginning to end. Anyone who knows me knows that this particular television show has had a unique influence on my life: namely it heals my soul.
I’m going to watch the first three seasons through on DVD, and then pick up right around the same time that TNT is showing the remaining four. I need something to get my head screwed on right. And every time I have watched this show and enjoyed the journey of its characters over the last seven years, I have subsequently improved my life in some meaningful way. It just gets my head screwed on straight, and gives me a fresh outlook on life.
So for today’s entry in the My Jukebox category, I give you the love theme from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the beautiful instrumental piece by Christophe Beck, Close Your Eyes.

In light of my previous post concerning boats and my interest once again turning to the sea, thought I’d share a real wicked sea shanty with you from Celtic maniacs Flogging Molly.
“Salty Dog” is a rocking punk anthem that really should get your juices flowing, particularly with Pirates of the Caribbean 3 opening today.

This is a great version of the old classic, recently featured in the opening credits of the film Alpha Dog. I’ve since learned the cover was performed by the late singer Eva Cassidy, whose voice has become legendary since her death in 1996.
The version she performed is really amazing, so I got a copy to share with you guys here.

Sometimes I think I put up a few too many Jukebox posts, but then I note that they are often the most-viewed and commented-upon posts on my site. I have also been posting more recent hit songs and not necessarily been sharing as many tracks from my library, as I did when I first started this blog.
Well, the long and the short of all this hot air is that today I’m featuring another classic favorite from my stash. Anyone who knows me knows I am the biggest fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
This song was originally featured in the 3rd season finale and provided a very emotional crescendo to what was a very moving storyline. The song is a cover of the original Rolling Stones and is quite haunting and pretty in it’s own right.

I heard this song at the end of Grindhouse the other day (great movie, by the way!). It was a typical end-credits track from Tarantino, who always finds the most quirky-cool songs for his movies.
I think you’ll love it!
