Week #4, Music Spotlight

Hello everyone!  It's finally September, and having been busy with moving this week, I've decided to post songs I already know.  It'll be a wide genre, so if you like the song, go check out the band!
I'll stay away from Trance and Dubstep and Pop for this week.  Give these songs a chance, and I'm already feeling that these will be relaxing/laid back..  Happy Friday to everyone!

Starting with some music from Snatch,
#1)  Angel
          Massive Attack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbe3CQamF8k&ob=av2e
I've heard this song used twice in different movies/shows, but it's a song I've always liked.  It's got a slow building beat with a somewhat creepy vibe going on.  This is probably a terrible description, but just listen to the song.. the point is, I like the beat from beginning to end, and fortunately it's a six minute song!


#2) Sirius
        The Alan Parsons Project
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCR85u9QngQ
This tune is AMAZING!  Short but sweet, no words, just awesomeness.. This song leads into the next song "Eye In The Sky"


#3) Eye In The Sky
        The Alan Parsons Project
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNiie_zmSr8
This song, among others, is an awesome song by The Alan Parsons Project.  This rock song was probably made before I was born, but it's awesome!  So relaxing!


#3) Roundabout
        Yes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPOTg-7pV64
This song is awesome, hands down.  As a kid I got a CD with some greatest hits from Atlantic Records I believe, and this song from Yes was on there.  Much better than rap :) (Words wise)


#4)  Africa
        Toto
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azVqekQBK8g
This song makes me laugh every time, the music video at least.. Plus, it has some history with my Chico Corsa team this year.


#5) Just Can't Get Enough
        Depeche Mode
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6FBfAQ-NDE
Speaking of songs and Chico Corsa, this song seemed to be the theme song at Mt. Hood.  HAH!  This one's definitely made long before I was around, and I'm sure it beats any remix out there.  I do believe this song was used in a Girl Talk song..


#6)  The Sad Cafe
        Eagles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNa8jiApWo0
Another great classic song..  Even has some tenor sax in the end!


#7) Starshine
        Gorillaz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgkoiFwI5eM
Have you heard of this band?  One of my favorites in terms of ultimate chill-out songs..
Super good..


#8) Dream Police
        Cheap Trick
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjMCaw4qzjg
This is a classic, you've probably heard it already.  I like it, and the funny thing is, I saw an ad on T.V for them performing somewhere.  They looked ancient and their voices sounded sooo raspy.
Well, let's stick to this version from a couple decades ago..


#9) Goodbye Stranger
        Supertramp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVcD5NoNoFM
Another classic! Enough said..  I always liked the chorus part..


#10) Happy Together
       Turtles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTvhWVTwRnM
Really old, but it's so classic!  Had to end the day with this one (:  Enjoy!

Have a great three day weekend, celebrating Labor Day!  Be safe, and I'll see you around!
-Anthony
