Where We Gonna Go From Here

September 3, 2007

 Five songs playing repeatedly in my head for the past few days. Ready? Here we go...

1) Athlete - "It's Not Your Fault" (Astralwerks) - Beyond The Neighbourhood (Astralwerks) - Big fat sing-a-long hit. I love this song. Love it, love it, love it, love it. Eat your hearts out Coldplay and Snow Patrol.

2) Christopher Denny - "Time" - Age Old Hunger (Atlantic) - Find myself whistling this one every time I turn around. It's a feel good song that makes me want to hop on a train track and start walking with no plan or destination.

3) Graham Colton - "Best Days" - Best Days (Universal Republic) - When I graduated high school in 1987, Bon Jovi's "Never Say Goodbye" was THE graduation/prom song of the year. Cheesy? Yes. Catchy? Hell Yes. Memorable? Oh Hell Yes! Graham has a great following in Birmingham and the initial reaction to this song has been huge on my show. Another chorus that I can't rid my head of. It is on constant repeat.

4) Ben Lee - Any song on his latest "Ripe" - In a word, this record is FUN! Catchy, jingly-jangly, sing-a-long love songs that make you want to dance and sing. The tracks just pop up randomly in my mind throughout the day. Currently, "What Would Jay-Z Do?" is in heavy rotation.

5) Flight Of The Conchords - "Business Time" - The Distant Future (Sub Pop) - If I have to explain this to you, you shouldn't be listening to it in the first place.

OK, nothing like a stream of consciousness weekly rant.

Peace,
Reg
