More, more, more.....

Another week, another list of songs.... These are all taken from the Hotel Costes Series ... Very nice indeed. Martini anyone? And they're in no particular order either:

1. No Jive - De-phazz

2. Carnaval de Sao Vincente - Cesaria Evora

3. Sympathique - Pink Martini

4. Palais Mascotte - Rollercone

5. Ambrosia - Reminiscent Drive

6. Les Chrysanthemes - Cosmos Sound Club

7. Hi Fi Trumpet (Boys from Brazil Mix) - Stereo Action Unlimited

8. Reality Check - Stigmato Ink

9. Surround Me With Your Love (Mental Overdrive Mix) - 3-11 Porter

10. Come On (Sket Remix) - Dutch Rhythm Combo feat. Annik

11. Lavish (Deadbeats Remix) - Mark Rae

12. Hip Hip Chin Chin (Yaziko Club Mix) - Club Des Belugas

13. Don't Stop (Dublex Remix) - Dolphin Boy

So far there are 8 CDs in this series, Volumes 1 thru 7 and then a Best of compilation. I highly recommend them. All are available individually from Amazon.com but they also stock a very handy bundle pack of Volumes 1 to 6.

Anyway, that's it for this infomercial.

What is with the spacing in this thing... yeesh. Blogspots for the visually impaired.

Do you remember when...

You used to race home from school to see the 'World Premiere' of videos like 'Thriller' or 'The Reflex'?

How about eagerly anticipating the next John Hughes movies?

The 80s... those were some good times.

Speaking of John Hughes, I remember when the Queen of 80s teen flicks, Molly Ringwald, came to Winnipeg to film 'Maybe Baby'. Never actually saw her but apparently she was in town.

Oddly enough, Molly Ringwald in Winnipeg is related to one of my fonder memories of piano lessons because that movie was being filmed in and around the area where our piano lessons were held.

A not so fond memory of piano lessons was being pelted by snowballs thrown by my sisters as I left Ms. Gauvin's house.

Which wasn't as bad as when I used to walk out and they weren't there sitting in the car waiting for me like they should have been.

Ok... so maybe Molly Ringwald allegedly being within a 5km diameter vicinity of piano lessons was the *only* fond memory of piano lessons.

Long time between posts...

a.k.a. I haven't really had a whole lot to say....

So it's time to update my top whatever in music.

1. Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani (i think it's all that clapping that sold me)
2. You Won't Forget Me - Dannii Minogue vs. Flower Power (love a good synth strings section!)
3. Mere Pass - Basement Jaxx (reminds me of chinese school... *shudder*)
4. Reckless - The Barrow Gang feat. Bonnie Bailey
5. Whatever (Keep Me Guessing) - Solasso feat. Kate Smith
6. Talking In Your Sleep - The Romantics
7. Running Up That Hill - Placebo
8. A Love Bizarre - So Phat! (I think I just made that up)
9. SOS - A:Studio (Skylark mix) (this has been around a while but it's a goodie)
10. Gehts Noch - Roman Fugel (a bit of electro)
11. Pete Tong and Chris Cox - More Intensity (i just like the name.... For relaxing times, make it Santori times.)

And this doesn't make my top eleven but last year, a little electro freak named Tiga remixed 'Sunglasses at Night' by Corey Hart. Leave Corey in peace, please. Next we'll have remixes of Glass Tiger. No thank you.

Back soon..... and maybe I'll figure out how to post pictures.

I suppose I should write something...

Seeing as my blog has been linked to two other blogspots.

I really don't have much to say at the moment... Except I need a holiday. That would make me very happy. A nice, long paid holiday... YAY.

Anyway, I'll be back when I have something more intelligent (or is that interesting?) to say.

Random thoughts

Is there nothing more refreshing than the blast of minty fresh air into your eyes? it's much better than menthol breath... that burns!

I have nothing else to say for now... Actually yes I do... here are my top picks to listen to for the time being:

1. i can't wait - beulah
2. when i think of you - funkstar de luxe
3. gabriel - lamb
4. right about now - mousse t
5. heartbeat - annie
6. need to be loved - reflekt
7. oh my gosh - basement jaxx (knee deep remix)
8. avalon - juliet (f*** me i'm famous mix)
9. bathroom - green velvet
10. every me every you - placebo

I'll be back....

While I have a moment....

I'd like to point out my links on the side there.... tsaiWare is my sister Joyce's blogspot and Formwork is my cousin Ken's blogspot. Have a look at those while I struggle for something to say!

No, really. I'm at work at the moment so I will post when I have a moment.
