I've been listening to Alecia Moore (a/k/a P!nk) ever since she first arrived on the scene. I've always loved her edgy voice. Here she is in a great tribute to Janis Joplin.
And listening to Joss Stone also reminds me a bit of Janis. Now, I could have taken the easy way out and posted "Piece of My Heart," the duet she did with Melissa Etheridge. But I much prefer this song for its polish. See for yourself.
If men loved power tools before... they're gonna love them even more now. The biggest departure from reality in this video, besides the models, is the fact that the amount of noise these tools generate can be deafening! Enjoy!
America wants piece alright. It wants a piece of Kosovo, it wants a piece of Iraq and all the oil thereunder, it wanted a piece of just about every nation it conquered in its imperialist quest for world domination. And this juggernaut ain't stopping, baby. Don't believe me. Watch the documentary, War Made Easy.
My Haroula CD came the other day! Squeeeee! I was able to locate Haris [Alexiou] II, one of her first albums, and one which I had in record/LP form when I was a teenager. I played it all the time. When I get a chance, I'll post one or two songs from the CD. Meanwhile, I'd love to get my hands on some of Zoi Papadopoulou's music. And I think it's great that two generations come together like this; Zoi has promise. Enjoy!
Or so goes the song Tuzna Pesma [Sad Song] by Serbian duo Neverne Bebe. Someone was kind enough to translate the lyrics from Serbian to English and upload the song to YouTube. Enjoy!
And here are the original lyrics, in Serbian, for those playing at home.
Rec, jedna i kraj
bol, gospodski sjaj
gazila bih duboku reku
samo da nadjem zvezdu neku
koja na tebe potseca
Zid,izmedju nas
noc, pruza mi spas
htela bih da ti zovem ime
plakala bih al' nemam s kime
ubila bih i dosta s time
znaj, ipak znaj da
Tuzna pesma na sto nacina
svetom putuje
stara slika naseg vremena
jos uvek tuguje
a kisna jutra opet pocinju
otkad sam otisla
smejem se a suze naviru
kurva sudbina
Zid,izmedju nas...
I have been privileged to have access to a vast amount of Serbian and Croatian music, some traditional and some contemporary. I love just about all of it, but my favorites are Gibonni, Zdravko Colic, Prljavo Kazaliste, Film and Neverne Bebe.
