Thought I was such a rebel when I started listening to Billy Idol. Dyed blonde spiky hair, how wild. Then my mother decided she quite liked his music and suddenly he didn’t seem as cool.

This song is from the True Blood soundtrack. An HBO series I borrowed from a friend and really enjoyed. Not the usual vampire fare.

It’s a cover of the song by The Cure. Might have to hunt out the original too.

I’ve known about this song for years and it was also used in one of the American Pie movies, although it was covered by another singer. Think it was the first one. I then heard it recently on television and had to look up who sings it. Took a while because I kept getting the lyrics wrong.

By the way, great name for a band.

Another song from the True Blood soundtrack. Not usually my type of music, however, this one made it worthwhile to hunt out more material from Lucinda Williams.

Not many commercially successful bands seem to come from Las Vegas. These is one of them that did. Love the intro to this one.

If only I could tell the story behind this song. If I did though, I might lose a good friend. Needless to say, each time we hear it we both think of the story and have a laugh.

From the Pretty In Pink soundtrack. Back in the day John Hughes used to make some good movies and they usually had outstanding soundtracks. This is a good example.

First became aware of Dido via Eminem. I haven’t been lucky enough to see her live although watching a concert DVD it looks like it would be a good time.

Leona Lewis – Bleeding Love – Live

Another television series winner and like Kelly Clarkson, a bit hesitant to admit I like her work. Trouble is there can be too much to wade through just to find the good ones. Leona Lewis is one of the good ones.

Kelly Clarkson – My Life Would Suck Without You – Live

Maybe it’s not cool to link through to an American Idol artist, however, she was an early one and not one of the factory processed people they show seems to love these days.
