The Soundtrack of Your Life...

Artemesia- you might know this, but They Might Be Giants have a fairly new album of children's songs.

I agree with Chrome about the J. Cash version of "Rusty Cage," the Soundgarden tune. He really rips it up. Sometimes when I'm hearing that album I think that he could teach bands like Pearl Jam and Sound Garden a thing or two about how to rock out.

An album called "Crescent" by the John Coltrane Quartet, from the early 1960's would be one of my choices for my soundtrack.

No! I didn't know about the TMBG children's album! Thanks for that info.

Awesome thread Arte! Music is so much a part of me that there is a song that I associate with every aspect of my life.
A few that comprise my current life soundtrack:

*Control and She Hates Me by Puddle of Mudd... my anger songs as I finally came to terms with the fact that I had stayed in an abusive marriage for way too long and that it had done more damage than I could ever imagine

* Shame by matchbox twenty....this song could have been ripped from inside me...

* You Got it Bad by Usher because C. told me it described how he knew it was love...

* It's your Love & The Good Stuff country songs that C. sang to me as we held each other in a hotel room in Texas...I listen to them now just to remember his voice ...

* Hot in Here by Nelly...it's my shake your ass song at the club

* Another country tune called The Impossible, because the relationship between C. and I just seems to be an against all odds situation.....yet, I'm reminded one should never underestimate the fact that sometimes the impossible actually happens...


And the songtracks from my past...oh my....I'll have to post some of those later

I'm so glad you made it by here, Fiesty!

my music memory for tonight...

The semester I started college, the Police had just released "Synchronicity." I, as usual, bought the album - my friend J. bought the tape. My parents went out of town and J. and I stayed over at my house - she brought her tape. I remember feeling really ripped off because there was an extra song on the tape - "Murder by Numbers." I felt so cheated. Nonetheless - when I hear songs from Synchronicity, especially Murder by Numbers, I think of the anticipation I felt for the first day of classes at college. New frontiers, new friends, my whole life ahead of me. And my friend J. - who's now in NM - married and a mother twice over.

my set would start and end with two Stones tunes; " Satisfaction" and "You can't always get what you want". I'll work out the in between and post it later.

2 Good pics, for sure.

But since you're using 'em already, I'll go with Paint It Black and Gimme Shelter.

By The Way, Johnny Cash Did a smoking cover of The Stones "No Expectations" I have it on record somewhere. It is fairly old...at least early 80's. Social Distortion did a cover of "Under My Thumb" that always gets me wound up. U2 did a halfway decent cover of Paint It Black, also on record. Johnny Cash and U2 teamed up to perform "The Wanderer" which I'm assuming is an old Irish drinking song. It'll be the next Johnny Cash CD I purchase (with a 50 year career, you never run out of his music to buy) And to bring this tangent full circle, on Solitary Man (The most recent Cash album) Johnny covers the U2 song "One" and, as usual, does a great job of it.

Nights in the painting lab in college.... I fondly remember listening to...

the Violent Femmes, the Pogues, Prince, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Waits, Phillip Glass, REM, Suzanne Vega, X, XTC, Depeche Mode.... too many good ones to mention....

the art department was always rockin... i loved having the freedom to enhance our creativity with music of our own choosing.
