Thao Nguyen

I just bought her latest album. She is a Virginia native along with other favorites of mine such as the Rachel Leyco Band. Anyway, here is a small playlist.

Perfume - Electro World

I bought an iPod shuffle today. My first iPod. Its the small one. 1gig. I bought it so I could listen to music while I run. Then I had to find some upbeat pumping music to run to. I stumbled upon this jpop girl group Perfume. Fun music. Good for exercise.

Here is a playlist with 4 Perfume songs. Electo world, Chocolate Disco, Computer City and Polyrhythm. That should get you up and moving.

Ben Harper- Better Way

It is hard for me to believe that we are at the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war and that there is no end in sight. I have to agree with Ben Harper when he says "I believe in a better way".

Brick House - Joan Osborne + Diesel

I've seen the Grateful Dead, I have seen Joan Osborne, I just haven't seen them together. I think I was working as a postdoc at the time and didn't have the chance to get out of the lab.

Brick House - Dead, Bob Wier, Phil Lesh, Joan Osborne

Live is Sausalito CA.



I don't know why, but that got me thinking of this song by Diesel

The Move - Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited

I have not heard this song in ages. I used to play this on harmonica. The band is The Move and the song is called Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited. I was very excited when I stubbled upon this video. A classic rock song with lyrics below.

The Move - Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited



(It was one morning when I woke up, and then I found out that they'd signed some
papers, and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind.
And then I found out that the authorities had said, um, that I'd gotta
have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um, and I think it's because,
because I was going off my...)

Head
Sunbeam from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my...
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the room

Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

In this sad position where I lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit
Everyday I keep asking for my Dad
They must think I'm going mad
Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before I suffocate
Trying hard to meditate
Tell the people, "What a scene"
Write a letter to the Queen
Asking her if she can come to tea

CHORUS

Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when I'm dead

CHORUS

Alice Cooper - I Never Cry

I really like this song.



Here is my own version.
