Just for Fun

I thought I'd stroll thru my iTunes and pick out a few of my favorite songs that I totally catch grief for all the time from my friends, because it's very not "normal" or "cool." Just about everyone one of my friends subscribes to a specific scene, whether it be heavy metal, gay, jam-band, or emo. I pretty much reject all that bullshit and like it all. Actually though, I tend to consider a lot of heavy metal garbage. I call it "noise" and it pisses my stoner friends off really bad.

Anyhow, I figured Kerry may take a sick day and who knows you guys may enjoy it. Also, I responded with what I consider the best of specific artists Kerry commented on, just incase you were interested in more. I'm not trying to push it on you. I swear. Here we go.

Edith Piaf - Non, Je Net Regrette Rien (with English Subtitles laced with 3 or 4 original live performance videos of Edith in the
50's. This song is so powerful and even if you don't know what it means, she still gets the emotion across to you. It means "No, I don't have any regrets" I believe and like I said, it is subtitled in English. The author of the video disable embedding. I'm trying to sell this to you, because I think anyone would appreciate it even if it wasn't their cup of tea. It literally legendary. They just made an Oscar winning movie about her.


Tony Bennett & K.D. Lang - Dream a Little Dream of Me Player is in the top right corner.

Natalie Cole & Diana Krall - Better than Anything I would pay 1,000 dollars to see Diana Krall live. Just saying.

Bessie Smith - Muddy Water


Oscar Brown - Brother Where Are You


Big Mama Thorton and Buddy Guy (who I'm actually an aquantience of) - Hound Dog


Big Mama Thorton - They call me Big Mama (Just know that I love the shit out of Mama Thorton and I won't post anymore)


John Lee Hooker - This is hip


**!!!**Etta James & B.B. King - There is Something on Your Mind


Susan Tedeschi - Hurt So Bad


Baby Washington - Breakfast in Bed


Lightnin' Hopkins - Lonesome Road


And of course a list like this wouldn't be complete without Robert Johnson.
