1. She Wolf - Shakira: I like the English (She-Wolf) and Spanish (Loba) versions. It's a pick-me up song when I'm out running. Hope they play it next time I'm out dancing. I have to say, though, video is NOT playable at work/library. I might also add it was pretty much the highlight of my life when someone said "Shakira has your body" to me once. It wasn't even "You have Shakira's body," but, she has my body. Hah! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAlCS4vn9mE&feature=channel
2. Harry Patch (In Memory Of) - Radiohead: Can't get enough of Radiohead. Ever. I heard some of the interview that inspired Radiohead to write this song. It is for the last British survivor of WWI who passed away this week.
3. Obsessed - Mariah Carey: Yup. Mariah Carey. I needed the motivation from this song during my long run yesterday through wind/rain/hail/car-through-puddle-splashes.
4. Far (album) - Regina Spektor: good stuff! there are a lot of songs I really like. Folding Chair reminds me of Summer. Human of the Year has ironic lyrics. Genius next door has something dramatic and cathartic about it. Quirky lyrics and serious vocal intervals. All in all, it's a B+ album.
5. A Society in Which No Tear is Shed is Inconceivably Mediocre (album) - Yonlu: Talk about sad, this album was released posthumously this summer. The artist was a 16 year old Brazilian too-genius-to-be-happy guy who committed suicide. His parents had no idea how talented he was or that he even made music. When they went through his computer they found these songs that he recorded in his room. I especially like Waterfall.
I dunno who told you that Shakira has your body, but I think that person is right. You two are looking good :) I will listen to the rest of the songs when I am on vacation, if I can take vacation.
