Here's a strange one from one of the greatest keyboard players of the 80s. I still wonder why the babes with violins in the video didn't make this a classic. Sorry for the poor quality.

Here's a song from the same period as the rest here about a girl from Dominic Ierace, now a Pennsylvania mortgage broker called Donnie Iris. It's said that this song holds the record for most overdubs at over 300;

“Ah! Leah!” ( why couldn't they find a better looking girl for the video? )

My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious

I'm not saying that their new album has leaked to the internet already, and that it is the best thing you will hear all year, but I'm notnot saying those things either.

Since it is Tom Morello's Birthday this week here are a few of my favorite RATM and Audioslave songs.

Bulls on Parade

Sleep Now in the Fire Disclaimer: You will see Michael Moore in this video, but the song rocks so hard.

Shadow on the Sun

Guitar tricks with Tom and that tool Carson Daly

I haven't had the chance to see RATM live, but I did see Audioslave. It is really amazing how little studio trickery is involved.

[andyssister]

Nice song. She has a really pretty voice.

Hi all: Anybody know where I can get NEW LP’s (’60’s early 70’s)?
Friend told me a company in Caribbean making new record's.

[lainie]

How funny! We have been listening to XM’s 80’s channel all day!

How about some Nina Hagen? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROJ5_3RWxg8

[lainie]

(forgot to add that XM’s 80’s channel is not very good.)

[OCC]

Weird, wild stuff. I had to look up Nina Hagen (thought it was the 99 luft balloons Nena). Interesting quote from her on wikipedia: Both of my parents were atheists, and I found the way to God all alone on my own. You have to invite him, so that he shows up.

[OCC]

XM’s Boneyard plays some good stuff :)
