I didn’t’ see you post a tread for this weekend so I hope you don’t mind me starting one for this weekend. I’m curious to know who here is listening to what and why:

Here are some of my favorites:

Paolo Nutini - New Shoes - ‘cause it makes be feeling like buying some new shoes and going out dancing with my friends :),

Rush – Freewill. Is it me or is Geddy Lee getting better looking as he gets older. Maybe it’s just because I’m older too. Maybe it’s the glasses and the soul patch or the fact he is still a guitar god and this band makes such great music. Best concert I’ve ever been to was Rush. “If you chose not to decide, you have still made a choice - I will choice a path that’s clear, I will choose Freewill”.

I didn’t think I liked country music until I found Nickel Creek and the Smoothie Song and how cool, young, hip and musical “Country” could be:.

Then I “discovered” Little Big Town. They remind me of Fleetwood Mac and back in the day (with just a little more twang):

And speaking of Fleetwood Mac, my favorite song by Stevie Nicks: “I know I could have loved you but you would not let me”. “You’ll never get away from the sound of woman that loved you”.

I love Evanessance. Amy Lee has such an amazing voice:

Ben Harper – Diamonds on the Inside: “She made herself a bed of nails and she’s planning on putting it to use, ‘cause she had diamonds on the inside”;

Thank You! Thank You!

The great thing about music videos is there are so many aspects that can attract/resonate with a person.

It can be purely musical, or more to the video component, or it can be the performance itself, or maybe just a song you liked at one time. And since we are in different places/moods at various times, all of that can change.

Gomez, what you turned me onto ‘WaterMellon in Easter Hay’ Man the title does it justice, because it is about that fantastic.

Now I have to listen to these contributions :^)

[RunningWolf]

I liked ‘working man’ by them the best.

Hey, do you have any Rickie Lee Jones?

[RunningWolf]

Queen - Under Pressure

One more before I go to bed...

Karen Carpenter, how could such an enchanting incredible voice come out of such a little anorexic woman? Dear God, why did you have to take her away from us so soon?

Agreed. She was so very special.

And the world has turned so ugly since 1971.

Pat Metheny w/ Richard Bona "Bright Size Life."

Bona is the closest thing to Jaco out there on the bass.
