I love Ne-Yo’s “Sexy Love” and totally enjoyed the performance by Alison and Ivan in season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance with this song. It’s a hip-hop number with a sweet story. The best part is the very end when he puts his coat on her and she opens her umbrella and…
I’ve always loved Robert Palmer’s music but mostly for his early work and not really for all of his biggest hits that came later in his career with songs like Addicted to Love and Simply irresistible. I mean, I still enjoyed his smash hits but I found his more obscure songs more enjoyable. Of all…
I love Joshua Kadison and “Jessie” which was a hit in 1993. He wrote it for his ex-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker who wasn’t anywhere near as popular as she is today. It’s a beautiful song even without all this interesting subtext. It truly captures the essence of being a slave to your own heart and…

What? Another U2 post? Well this one is hilarious! It’s Bono and his mates on David Letterman sharing the top 10 things they’ve learned through the years. I love the ones about YouTube and the Edge sucking at Guitar hero! Spit up my coffee.
I went to church one Sunday morning and was feeling groggy from staying up too late as usual on Saturday night and then they dimmed the lights and played this video really really loud and soon I was fully awake and excited to be alive. Here’s the full version of this amazing live performance I’ve…
Ever since I was a kid I remember loving Al Stewart’s “The Year of the Car” for some reason. I’ve only grown to appreciate it more through the years. It was obviously inspired by Casablanca with its reference to a Bogart movie. Other parts of the song that stick in my head is the very…
I’ve always loved “To Sir with Love” by Lulu but my appreciation of the song and Lulu herself increased tremendously when I saw her perform it live on American Idol 40 years since its first release! She not only sang it better than ever but she also looked incredible. Here are both versions. 1967 and…
