Current favorite: Smooth by Santana All-time favorite: Rakim by DCD MadPoet, Falcon - wow! two DCD fans. Maybe we should form the DCD-SDMB fan club! And speaking of Santana, in our Belly Dance show yesterday, we had two people perform to Santana songs, one from the new album and one to ‘Olle como va’ Plus Super-Freak and Shake your bon-bon by Ricky Martin. ---

I have three: 1000 Oceans–Tori Amos Learn to Fly–Foo Fighters and the new song by Beck that sounds 60s-ish (I’m so out of it with song titles). He performed it on SNL a couple of weeks ago. GREAT song. That guy is a genius! * * * And that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong. ---

The Waltzes nos. 1 and 2 on Elliot Smith’s last album, followed by 'Schizophrenia" by Sonic Youth (on Sister), followed temporarily by a cover of Kraftwerk’s Neonlicht done by some Slovenian band named Mitja V.5. REM’s Chonictown album went down the list lately due to fatigue. ---
