BROWNSTONE... These ladies could SANG! Listen to their brilliant harmonizing skillz on "If You Love Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NoQC0Bo4gU I don't know which group had the better harmony, but En Vogue were hot, too. Check them out singing their acceptance speech for an award. "Hold On" was the shyt and they're fine as heck!

I'm not too familiar with Last.fm, but I just checked out the site and it sounds interesting. I would join if you were to get something started.

I'm talking it back once again. I was on YouTube trying to find Michel'le's (remember her with the squeaky, high pitched talking voice, but a great set of singing pipes) "No More Lies," but it doesn't look like anyone has posted that video. But I ran across another gem of hers... "Something In My Heart" "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> I'm posting this other video only because she talks in her normal voice at the beginning of the video. It's difference is just incredible.

The Noisettes Cannot Even (Break Free) You are alone, that's that Nobody's home inside your head You cannot even speak Think everybody thinks you're a freak So you wish you could be On a magic carpet Yes you wish you could be Ever so transported from here, from here So why won't you break free, break free I want you to break free Break free break free Give me something, say we Break free break free I want you to break through Break free break free Give me something Get on, get on wanna wanna (etc) This time it is for real And this time it's you who's making the moves So tell me what's the deal This time it's you who's breaking the rules Still you wish you could be On a magic carpet somewhere And you wish you could be Ever so transported from here, from here Why don't you break free, break free I want you to break free Break free break free Give me something, say we Break free break free I want you to break free Break free we'll see Give me something Why won't you break free, break free I want you to break free

Some songs just put a smile on your face or make you laugh... Put on your red dress, baby Ya know we're goin' out tonight Put on your red dress, baby Lord, we're goin' out tonight And-a bring along some boxin' gloves In case some fool might wanna fight Put on your high-heel sneakers, lordy Wear your wig-hat on your head Put on your high-heel sneakers, child Wear your wig-hat on your head Ya know you're looking mighty fine, baby I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead Put on your red dress, baby Lord, we're goin' out tonight Put on your red dress, baby Well, we're goin' out tonight And bring along some boxin' gloves 'case some fool might wanna fight Put on your high-heel sneakers, child Wear your wig-hat on your head now Put on your high-heel sneakers, baby Wear your wig-hat on your head Ya know you're looking mighty good, really I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead

^^I never heard that song before. Mind you, I didn't get into the whole techno/house/party music stuff until a little later. Once I got to high school, I started listening to all kinds of music. LOL! That video made me think of one my favorite techno/dance music singers, Sonique. Here's a couple of her videos: "It Feels So Good" "Sky" You might have heard this one for a, I believe, King's Island commercial.

Okay, so I'm gonna take it back for ya'll just a little bit. Remember PM Dawn? Now that's some classic r&b/hip-hop from the early 90s. To be a kid again... Here's "I'd Die Without You" from the Boomerang soundtrack: And here's "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" This stuff is old school to me. LOL! Brings back a lot of memories.

Just finished listening to Jill Scott's new song "Hate On Me" from her upcoming album The Real Thing dropping in September. It's HOT! But I wouldn't expect anything less from my girl Jilly from Philly! Any Jill Scott fans out there, you can listen to an mp3 of the song at http://www.okayplayer.com/index.php ... just scroll down to "Okayplayer News 5.25.07." EDIT: LOL! I'll go one better and just provide a direct link to the song ... if it works: http://okayplayer.com/downloads/JillScott-HateOnMe.mp3

I just bought Linkin Park's new album "Minutes to Midnight" this weekend and I really like it. Probably not so coincidentally, my favorite two tracks are the ones with Mike Shinoda's rapping: "Bleed it Out" and "Hands Held High." I'm also really like "What I've Done," "In Between" and "Given Up."

I can't wait until Tuesday to buy The Noisettes album "What's the Time Mr. Wolf"! Just finished listening to some Lauryn Hill. "Ex-Factor" It could all be so simple But you'd rather make it hard Loving you is like a battle And we both end up with scars Tell me, who I have to be To get some reciprocity No one loves you more than me And no one ever will Is this just a silly game That forces you to act this way Forces you to scream my name Then pretend that you can't stay Tell me, who I have to be To get some reciprocity No one loves you more than me And no one ever will (Hook:) No matter how I think we grow You always seem to let me know It ain't workin' It ain't workin' And when I try to walk away You'd hurt yourself to make me stay This is crazy This is crazy I keep letting you back in How can I explain myself As painful as this thing has been I just can't be with no one else See I know what we got to do You let go and I'll let go too 'Cause no one's hurt me more than you And no one ever will (Repeat Hook) Care for me, care for me I know you care for me There for me, there for me Said you'd be there for me Cry for me, cry for me You said you'd die for me Give to me, give to me Why won't you live for me (Repeat)

"Don't Give Up" by The Noisettes "Sister Rosetta" by the Noisettes

I'm really digging The Noisettes and Amy Winehouse right now.
