[“Old Man”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGt54Ozo8LQ) by Redlight King. Completely slammed me the first time I heard it; been on my regular list ever since. And I don’t do rappy/hippity-hop/sampled shit. ---

A younger friend of mine turned me on to [La Mer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOrBaLMBxJw) by Nine Inch Nails. It instantly became one of my favorite songs. The video is done by a fan (apparently) and it isn’t bad either. ---

[\ ***Hannah** \*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WR2282tMio)by the Freelance Whales. Not that it’s been 3 years since I instantly liked a song I heard; I just heard this song for the first time a few weeks ago even though it was released 3 years ago. ---

> [@Balance](#): > > I found this [cover of “Come, Little Children”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKlsUrfbiE0) instantly arresting. I played the video I originally found it on several times to listen to it, then went looking for other music by the singer. After listening to a few pieces, I bought everything she’s recorded. I suppose that means one of the other songs I listened to before buying is technically the last I heard and liked instantly, but the linked song is the one that got me moving. She’s extraordinarily talented, isn’t she? It’s been awhile since I’ve listened to any of her stuff, maybe I should get an album. ---

Darby O’Gill – Finnegan’s Wake. My computer is glitching, so I’ve tried twice to link to the Youtube and failed. Grrrr. Anyway, the snide comments on the side are hilarious. ---

Dave Nachmanoff’s [Thing of Beauty](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yMTTn2fmTk). Link is to him and Mike Lindauer performing it at a house concert. I liked the song so much that I got his permission to change the last verse somewhat and performed it for SWMBO when she and I got married last April. ---
