What's the last song you heard?

[mvd]

Mine was "Around The Sun" on a full album preview of R.E.M.'s album of the same name. You can find it at myspace.com. Too many songs are bland this time! The lyrics save them a bit. Some really soar, though, like "Electron Blue," "Final Straw," "I Just Wanted To Be Wrong," and "Aftermath." It's good enough to buy, especially for an R.E.M. fan like me.

My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh, my oh.
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo,
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay oh.
Son of a gun, gonna have big fun on the bayou.

Dress in style an' go hog wild, me oh, my oh.
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo,
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar an' fill fruit jar and be gay oh.
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou.

Yeah, settle down, far from town, get me a pirogue,
An' I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Twice a month, we'll buy Yvonne what she need oh.
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo,
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar and fill fruit jar and be gay oh.
Son of a gun, we're gonna have big fun on the bayou.

I was feeling nostalgic for the early 90's so I listened to that particular song.

[arwalden]

19. At Last... Etta James

26. Last Song

by Edward Bear

[eyesroll]

27. In my head or in my ears?

My head -- Medley between "Mandy" by Barry Manilow and "Thirsty Dog" by Nick Cave. (If that ain't weird, I don't know what is.)

My ears -- Someone had that one song by Smashmouth (no, not that one, the other one) playing in their office as I walked by.

[Phillycat]

28. It ain't no joke I'd like to buy the world a coke?

[eyesroll]

38. ..

[Phillycat]

47. Sorry! HA! I was just checking!

*ashamed* :spank:

[Kid_A]

29. "Sad Professor" by R.E.M.

I'm listening to "Up" at my desk.

So how is "Around The Sun"? I've only heard the first single on the radio, but I'm a HUGE R.E.M. fan.

[mvd]

32. First time I listened, I liked it more than the second time

There are too many bland keyboards and not enough drum and guitar IMO, but it could grow on me. There are some great songs and as I said, it's worth buying.

[Kid_A]

33. I've heard it compared to Automatic For The People.

Is there anything to that?

And if R.E.M. recorded an album of nothing but Creed and Britney Spears covers, I'd still buy it.

[mvd]

54. It's a low-key affair like AFTP

But I think AFTP had more detours and creativity. I'd give the new one a B with room for increasing of the grade - it might be lower if I wasn't also such a huge R.E.M. fan. :hi:

[Skittles]

30. "Hopelessly Devoted to You"

Olivia Newton-John. Heard it on the radio when I took my cat to the vet. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Get THAT f***ing song stuck in your head.

[tsakshaug]

31. computer just switched

from I love the sound of breaking glass by Nick Lowe
to Bella by Santana

[FunBobbyMucha]

34. RE: REM's newest

Haven't heard it yet but disappointing to read your review. Like my beloved Paul Westerburg, each new album they've done for the last six years was supposed to be their "return to form," and I guess there's no form left to return to anymore.

Things have gotten steadily blander and more inconsistent since "Monster," INHO as a life-long fan. Despite their ability to still kick out a good single (Great Beyond, Imitation of Life) they can't construct a cd I'm not bored with within 10 minutes. The loss of Bill Berry, the self-appointed pop fan of the group, was crucial, I guess.

I think the boys from Athens need to pack it in, don't you?

[Kid_A]

39. "I think the boys from Athens need to pack it in, don't you?"

Hell, no.

R.E.M. is one of the best American rock bands ever, and I wouldn't be surprised if they last another 20 years.

Whenever a band loses a founding member, it's normal for them to mess with their sound. R.E.M. has done that with their last two albums, while still retaining what it is that we fans love about them.

And if you really think they should call it quits, then you should watch the "Perfect Square" concert DVD. They're an amazing live band, and still as energetic and enthusiastic as ever.

35. Winchester Cathedral!

At lunch, just now....

Now I have that stupid whistle in my head!

[Donkeyboy75]

36. "Every Breath You Take" - Police

Well, not really. Something recent made me think of that, so it's in my head...

[Wat_Tyler]

37. What a disturbing song.

A stalker anthem really.

[Donkeyboy75]

40. Unfortunately, the overdone radio play seems to have softened

the message: Stalkers are sick fucks.

[Wat_Tyler]

41. Tell me about it.

Did you hear about Avril Lavigne's stalker?
When Avril Lavigne starts to get followed, you start to worry about the mentality of the crazies out there.

[Donkeyboy75]

42. Jesus. She has a stalker?

Might as well stalk a broomstick with a poorly carved, screechy jack-o-lantern piked on top

[Wat_Tyler]

45. Stalker quality has massively tailed off of late.

Although, with today's information age, people can gather all the information they need about a celebrity without having to stalk them. Back in Dylan's day they had to rummage through his trash. Yay, technology!

[Beware the Beast Man]

50. How come you never call me?

I swear, Wat, I'm going to do something crazy!
I'm already changing my name to Wattylersnumber1fan.

[Wat_Tyler]

51. I believe Screaming Lord Wat is free.

[Beware the Beast Man]

52. I like Beware the Screming Wat Lord

44. Neil Innes - "Song in a French Accent"

I'm listening to a live recording of Ron Nasty & The New Rutles, with Neil Innes opening the show.

[SiouxJ]

46. "Teach Your Children" by CS&N & guests at the Move On concert

last night. It was the final encore (it always is isn't it?). They were surprisingly good. I was expecting a more acoustic set, but no, it was all electric with guitars blazing. They rock pretty hard for a bunch of old guys. It was enjoyable in a nostalgic, psychedelic, surreal sorta way. The only bad part was that Keb-Mo was a No-Show. I was mainly hoping to see him since I'd seen all the others many times before. Raitt was awesome as usual though so that sorta made up for it.

:hi: Matt

48. Bridges by Neurosis

49. He's an old hippie, by the Bellamy Brothers.

53. Ray LaMontagne - "Burn"

On the radio this morning. KEXP is having a pledge drive, so they're playing slightly less music.

[On the Road]

55. "Senorita with a Necklace of Tears"

from Paul Simon's "You're the One."

[BiggJawn]

57. "Mama Mia"

OK, so I was in a mindless "ABBA" mood...

[drumwolf]

58. "Cigarettes and Alcohol" by Oasis

It's on their first album and rips off the rhythm track from T-Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get it On)". Heard it last night at a bar where I was having drinks after work.

[Ilsa]

59. Barney's If All the Raindrops were Cherry drops and blah blah.

My kids like to open my Children's Music File on my laptop.
