My Sunlight

Loving this, once again inspiration from Andrea.

The recent Grammy awards included two absolutely amazing performances.
First and foremost, the legendary Radiohead.
Thom Yorke is backed by the USC Trojan Marching Band (who, in my opinion, stole the show. They rocked!)
Hopefully the video is still up (copyright, you know...don't the powers that be realize these videos sell their records? Hello...). See it here.

Also, Adele, with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland, singing "Chasing Pavements" (the first two YouTube versions I originally saved have already been pulled. So frustrating)

The one, the only, the timeless
Ray LaMontagne, singing "Trouble"



And his version of Crazy will blow your mind too

Newton Faulkner

I guess this guy is a huge hit in the UK, but too few Americans have heard of him yet.
Take a listen...really amazing.
I'm so sad I missed his performance at House of Blues a few days ago.

Photobooth Friday

Instead of a booth shot today, how about a video that starts in a photobooth?

Missy Higgins, Where I Stood

Tristan Prettyman, "Hello"

Jamiaca's Usain Bolt's gold medal celebration dance has made the rest of the world take note of Elephant Man's "Nuh Linga" dance craze.
See Usain dance here.

This looks like fun to me (I love organized dance steps. Ah, back in the day...with the Electric Slide, Oak Tree, Rubberband, The Hustle...)

Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah

I found this on Jelly Bean Angel.
I had never heard it before, but it's so timeless.
One of the best parts of blogging is finding kinship with people across seas and continents.
Thanks Melanie!

Oldie but goodie--Billy Joel, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.

"Deep Forest"
Somewhere,
Deep in the jungle,
Are living some little men and women,
They are our past,
And maybe,
Maybe they are our future...

I so miss the show Rockstar.
Here's an incredible, beautiful version of Knockin' on Heaven's door, by the lovely Jordis Unga.
I can just listen to this again and again.


I also have to mention a fun video I first saw posted on
This is My Spring, which she found via The Pink of Perfection.
Basically Shauna and her grandma Joy go to the movies every week.
It's so simple and fun. I wish I could go back in time and be at the movies with my grandma again....

My heart does the tango
with every little move you make.
I love you like a mango,
'cause we can make it every day.

Classic.

This is the only version I could find by The Mana'o Company,
(I wish I could find a video of them singing live).
But oh so good.

"Drop Baby Drop"

Video Sunday

Only slightly more than an hour until Sunday, so I'm going to post this now.

This is goosebumps good.


Chris Cornell, the incomparable voice of Soundgarden, Audioslave, and (my favorite) Temple of the Dog,
singing Billie Jean.
This song appears on Cornell's solo album, Carry On.

I became aware of this version of Michael Jackson's hit, after hearing David Cook's rendition on last week's American Idol.
Cook's version is also excellent.

Appropriate for this Easter Sunday.
Crystal Lewis, "My Redeemer Lives".

Okay, so call me cheesy for posting a Clay Aiken video, but
"Celebrate me Home" has been one of my favorite songs forever.

Colbie Caillet, "Tell Him"

Video Sunday

Classic "Scotch and Soda" sung by 'the voice' Bob Shane, of the Kingston Trio.

Other versions of this song: Mary Davis Trio
and Lauren Masse of the Manhattan Transfer.
