The Playlisted Reloaded

Guilt has consumed me in this specific endeavor and this post is an absolution.

I have some music that I would like to share with you. My friends know that I love
Serge Gainsbourg. His music is poetry and his poetry music.

An artist has come to try and fill Serge's white jazz shoes after a long while. His name is Benjamin Biolay. The subject matter is the same: mostly love and at times, explicit and graphic love. Living in different times, I don't think people are as easily shocked as they once were.

Serge Gainsbourg- Je t'aime, moi non plus

Benjamin Biolay- Dans la Merco Benz

Differences? Similarities?

The Playlisted

This week, I thought that I would share what I have been listening to repeatedly.

Nouvelle Vague- Dancing with Myself

Nina Simone- Brown Baby

maylee- A Lullaby for My Fictitious Children

I realized how useful music can be in that you don't really need anything
to keep it with you. I have been forgetting my mp3 player at work and it
would be annoying to some people. The songs that I really enjoy are
already imbedded in my brain that I don't need the physical device.

In my humble opinion, my old player is actually a lot more musically
valuable than a lot of those
touch-screen-ones-that-shall-be-named. Lady Gaga sounds as
unoriginal as when Gwen Stefani did it the first time around.
