I wanna be...

Piece of my Heart - Janis Joplin

And how could I forget,
Layla - Eric Clapton
I know I posted it twice before but the old link is broken and it's one of the most touching love songs I know.

Brains be damned, I just want to listen to music

It's been hard to take off the earphones to listen to Organic Chem.

It's a Long Way - Caetano Veloso, marry me.

Like a Wheel - Matti Caspi (low quality sound here though)

Violin Phase - Steve Reich. The music oscillates between fascinating and intolerable. Watching the dance makes it more tolerable.

Berekeke - from the soundtrack of "Woman on Top"

Road Trippin' - Red Hot Chili Peppers. Daydreaming hard.

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.

November 2008

Into My Arms (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds)

Listened to this song in a loop from Jerusalem to Hadera.

Sultry

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.
