Pretty Straightforward.

I Can't Be With You - The Cranberries

I remember the album came out when I was in grade 7 and had a massive crush on Paul McCartney.

Halfway thru December, 2008

Watching the Wheels (John Lennon) - This is one of those songs that makes me want to play guitar (so I can sing).

Maybe You Are (Asaf Avidan) - link to his MySpace. It's the 5th song.
I'm just reading Bob Dylan's autobiography (Chronicles volume 1), wonder what he'd think of this 2008 folk singer.

Why Don't You Do Right. Jessica Rabbit... You just can't take your eyes off her.

Harley-Davidson, mid-October

There are these moments when everything comes together. A fog lifts. Mundane objects you were gazing at become clear and crisp. Your blood seems to be pumping stronger. Every thought that wells up in your mind tastes delicious. You savor every song that comes on the radio.
Weak (Asaf Avidan & the Mojos)
I'm sure everyone will have their own explanation, be it spiritual, psychological, new age mumbo-jumbo, the freaking "Zone". I just know it's all biochemistry but I can never put my finger on it exactly. It probably has something to do with a strong cup of "Bahia tea" (with cocoa and coconut flavors in it) and a higher than usual ratio of dietary fat, but those two factors are not enough. I'm going to keep chasing it until I find out what it is that suddenly makes me feel like a Harley Davidson and when I have the Golden Snitch in my hand I will cure the world.

Songs of August 2008

Ordinary World (Duran Duran) - In the nearby Irish Pub a band started playing this song to warm up. My eyes lit up and I RAN inside and sang it without stopping for a week. It was clear and strong and washed a way all the flotsam of doubt while it played.

Shir Preida (Shlomo and Ben Artzi) - "Farewell Song". I couldn't find a clip online.

Shackles (Mary Mary)

The last two are self-explanatory - just my state of mind for a day.

Lay, Lady, Lay (Bob Dylan) - I opened Bob Dylan's autobiography where he told about playing this song to some friends, and of course it came on the radio two days later.
