**The Spinanes** - Hawaiian Baby. Even though I just got the latest from Rebecca Gates, even though I own all their other albums, and listen to them all the time, I keep coming back to this song. And not just put-it-on-the-playlist listen; we’re talking headphones, much volume, and air guitar. Find the song, listen to it. Beautiful. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by screech-owl \* > \*\*Cirque du Soleil’s “La Nouba” soundtrack. It’s playing right now, and has been every night since I saw the show a few weeks ago. I love it. \*\* Both the show and the soundtrack are great. When we lived in FL, my wife and I went to La Nouba 5 or 6 times. It never lost its appeal. Lately I’ve been listening to talk radio. I think I’m getting old. ---

The entire “Sign O’ The Times” album - **Prince** I’m rediscovering it after an 8 year layoff. What a killer album! Just amazing. “Adore” is the best love song ever! 🙂 ---

I found an oldish file of songs last week, so currently I’m back obsessing over: “Jane Says”, Janes Addiction “No Rain”, Blind Melon “Cooling”, Tori Amos “Nightswimming”, REM And other songs I’ve gotten addicted to lately: “You Know You’re Right”, Nirvana (it’s catchy, dammit) “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters”, Elton John (ditto) “All Hands On the Bad One”, Sleater-Kinney ---

“Bad Reputation” by Freedy Johnston. Ever have a song that grabs at you inside, like it’s attached to a really powerful memory, even though it isn’t? This one does that to me. It tears me up, and yet I keep listening to it over and over. ---

**Aisle 10** by Scapegoat Wax. Don’t know much if anything about Hip Hop but anyone who doesn’t like this tune is just plain weird. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by elfkin477 \* > \*\* > > " Your Ghost" by Kristen Hersh and Micheal Stipe > \*\* I love that song! I downloaded it and burned it onto a CD that’s constantly in my car stereo. Speaking of homemade CDs, someone made one for me with a great song on it, but I have no idea who the singer is, I just can’t place her voice, but I know I know it. It’s been driving me nuts, and I hope someone can help me. I think the title is “Stay with me,” and I’m pretty sure it was on the “Chasing Amy” soundtrack. The first few lines are “Don’t have to lie about where you’ve been We both know you’ve been screaming So why don’t you give your little voice a rest Come on up inside my bed And just pretend you need me…” Any ideas ? ---

Heavy Metal by Sammy Hagar. Fabulous song. I’ve been addicted to it for the last three days. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by LunaSea \* > “Pitseleh” Elliot Smith_\* Dude. I read this as “Pitseleh” Missy Elliot. I didn’t know whether to be horrified or thrilled. I just…sob…love them both so much! My song: “Do You Realize??” by the Flaming Lips. It is so gorgeous. ---

Jimmy Buffett. I made a mix tape from my CDs that include all his hits, some stuff from his Millenium concert, and outtakes from his really early stuff that sound like he was playing in someone’s living room. The best time for listening is while driving to and from work, and Buffett’s helping me decompress and get my head into another space (preferably near water). And given the state of Top Ten radio, I’ve come to appreciate just how well the old songs hold up. “Cheeseburger in Paradise” in particular is an especially strong 3-minute pop song. While I’m not a Parrothead, I think if I had the option to be anybody, it would be him. When I’m writing my space shuttle book, however, it has to be Brian Eno’s “Apollo” soundtrack. Perfect space music.
