Musical cavalcade

Spammity spam.

I've been tapped by cat_mom to list my six favorite current songs (by current, I mean hit the repeat countless times in succession while no one is around).

1. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (the live version)
An influential song while writing Delicate Sound of Thunder. Plus there's just a great series of chord changes that I find really hook me.

2. She Will Find Me - Dougie MacLean
Part of my Celtic kick. How can you not love a man called Dougie? He's got a lovely voice and the cutest accent.

3. Windows - Chick Corea
A jazz standard, but I like this arrangement. I almost picked a Keith Jarrett song, but sometimes the mic picks up Keith's toneless crooning in the background - have you noticed that? I mean, he's a terrific pianist, but the man just can't carry a tune with his voice. And every now and then he'll let out an orgasmic sound that's just...um.

4. Rise Above It - Afro Celt Sound System
This is just catchy, in that Celtic blended with African rhythm way. I love this band.

5. Southern Cross - CSNY
A retro moment for me. I've been wanting to own this for years and now I do. And now it reminds me of isiscolo, the sailor.

6. Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) - Stevie Ray Vaughan
I also love the original Jimi Hendrix version, but I just uploaded this version recently. I'm a sucker for great guitar songs.

Sigh. I had to leave out Steely Dan and Smokey Robinson and Baka Beyond and INXS and Capercaillie and Al Green and the English Beat and Flora Purim and Johnny Clegg and John Coltrane and Los Lonely Boys.

Okay, I pick these six to continue the meme: thrihyrne, ravurian, waterbird, jamoche, phreid, emmagrant01

Hi Geoviki :) I'm going off topic here to let you know I've left you a review in your May 11th entry for Delicate Sound of Thunder.

I saw your pic! But couldn't comment :( it was up to 5000

Very lovely! :D

fellow Denverite,

Maybe it's good no one could comment on my picture - I don't think I ever saw an entry hit 5000 comments before.

:pouts: you left out English Beat and INXS??

Just kidding. Will have to do the meme, now!! And I'm treating myself to your second novel today. Can't wait.

I like your taste in music. Always loved Celtic music. Are you familiar with Leahy? One of the finest fiddle players, IMHO. And anything Pink Floyd has my vote.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

No, Leahy is not a Celtic artist I've hit yet (or at least not one that I know.

I've caught on to this interesting World Music label - Putumayo - that does a lot of compilations of great stuff, including Celtic, African, Brazilian - oh, lots of varieties of music you'd never hear on the radio. It's been eye-opening.

My most recent HP fic is named after a Pink Floyd album, so I'm a big fan.

oh god THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I was looking EVERYWHERE for a good mp3 of Voodoo Child the stevie version and while I looked and looked couldn't find it ANYWHERE. You're like a miracle upon the earth *bow scrape*

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you found it interesting! I love your icon, BTW.

Gah, this is kinda embarrasing but I've been trying to d/l the yousenditfile, and it doesn't seem to be working... I keep trying everyday and it just says the server is busy... Could you possibly reupload this?

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

I sent an email and now I have no idea where it got sent...ah.
