Music running through my head
My head has been eclectic mosh pit of tunes lately. My top 5 platters this week:
1) The Essential Simon and Garfunkel. "America" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" just smooth all the wrinkles out of my day.
2) Cabaret: The original movie soundtrack. I remember my mom and dad taking us to the drive-in to see this movie. Shortly after, my mother bought the album and we used to perform all of the songs. Make fun of Liza Minelli and her marriage to the freakish David Guest, but when you listen to "Maybe This Time", you realize what a talent she truly was.
3) The Paul Simon Collection. A by-product of the S&G cd? No, just memories of my best friend's late mother. Listening on those big ol' headphones to "Kodachrome" and "Loves me Like a Rock" just as my music tastes were forming and expanding like the sides of an active volcano.
4) The Traveling Wilbury's Collection. What a collection of talent! And you can even understand Bob Dylan! Sort of. Sure, there are only three songs I keep listening to over and over again, but they just make me feel all perky and happy.
5) "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen. Discovered this wonderful tune on a mix that I created based on They Might Be Giants. It's bouncy, it's clever and let's face it, how many song lyrics mention Minnie Pearl? You've got to love that.
