I guess this is an insomina and crate digging night.
So be it.
Envious - Aluna - Renaissance (2020)
'Tis the season (to make sure that this version never gets forgotten)
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer - DMX - Unreleased (2012)
I really dig this song and video. The video itself has this kinda meld of look of A-ha's Take Me On and a Daft Punk vibe.
Musically it's like an upbeat, more refined Louis Cole song. I'm not sure if that's better, but it is catchy.
Glowing in the Dark - Django Django (2020) - Album yet to be released.
On repeat all day.
Philly stand up.
It's Over - Free At Last - (Philadelphia) Freeway (2007)
Go nothing else to go with today. Can't add to the exhaustion so take this gem from one of my favorite games of all time.
Counterattack - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017) - Yatsunori Mitsuda
Feeling down or anxious? A little music can help.
It's better having this stuck in your head for hours than the alternative.
Seagulls (Stop it now!) - Bad Lip Reading
In honor of a lot of things and people today.
Remember Me (Duo version) - Miguel and Natalia Lafourcade - Coco Motion Picture Soundtrack (2017)
Last one for this set. I guess I'm ending on two amazing love songs.
I don't know how familiar Anita Baker is to the overall CoSo collective, but few do it better.
There's something about her velvety voice and the power she can let loose vocally when she wants.
You need a wholesome cleanser song for 2020. Let Mrs. Baker sing you a beautiful song.
Rapture - Anita Baker - Rapture (1997)
I am in the wilderness,
You are in the music...
Sade's voice makes me melt everytime I hear it. She has some mega hits that were in movies but that's not what we are listening to here.
Lover's Rock is just a beautiful song about how a woman loves her mate, who represents the ultimate in safety , security and love.
She's singing about the love that you are lucky to have if you've got it.
Lover's Rock - Sade - Lover's Rock (2000)
Oh.
My.
God.
I love this song. Everything about it is literally perfect. It's got an incredibly catchy beat. It's short and to the point, it deals with complex and messy emotions, and Emelia's vocals really sell the self-loathing, fear, love, and happiness all wrapped up in a ball of emotions.
It's 2-1/2 minutes long. You might end up listening to it for 10.
Ur Perfect, I Hate It - Micky Valen f. Emelia Ali (2020)
I don't know why this isn't on more Halloween playlists. Surprise a few people by throwing RJD2's The Horror in and watch people start to nod their heads and ask "what song is this???"
Lots of clashing chords, some break beats, a really effin funky bassline and quotes from a cheesy 50s horror film make this a classic.
The Horror - RJD2 - Deadringer (2003)
You've heard this song in commercials before, you just likely never knew the name.
Building Steam with a Grain of Salt was one of DJ Shadow's early successes. He was a pioneer of using older records of mundane things and transforming them into a sonic wonderland.
You may not last the whole song, but you have jammed along to the first 2 minutes and didn't even know it.
Building Steam With a Grain of Salt - DJ Shadow - Entroducing (1994)
I will never get tired of recommending Louis Cole songs. Some of them are a bit too weird for normal tastes, but man are they always creative.
The live version of Thinking is part of his random videos in (supposedly) his mom's house. No matter what it's an incredibly fun watch, and a really groovy song.
I dare you to act like you aren't impressed when Ben Wendell's sax solo sets your computer on fire at 03:12.
Thinking - Louis Cole - Live Sesh (2018)
Welp, guess I am going on that eclectic playlist tonight anyways.
This right here, is an amaaaaazing version of an already wonderful song. There's something about the way Hope sings in this version that is hauntingly beautiful.
Depending on your mood, this one just might make you cry.
Fade Into You (Acoustic) - Mazzy Star - Live (1994)
I wanted to save this for my eclectic playlist when I do another music thread but it just seems like the right time now.
This is a cool lil video to watch, and the sound is just a real funky kinda guitar with chill vocals. This is a great song that just somehow never got it's due.
On The Rise - Eric Krasno - Blood From a Stone (2016)
Dunno why this song was in my head first thing this morning.
Makes me miss a good friend who I just lost touch with.
Either way, it's a good one, if not unconventional.
Hotel California (Ska Cover) - Ska Daddyz
Lean into it. Embrace some of those lines from Nikki's verse.
Show them what that monster do.
Let me get this straight wait I'm the rookie/
But my features and my shows ten times your pay?
Kanye West f. Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nikki Minaj, and Bon Iver (Explicit lyrics warning) - Monster
Dedicated to all my small people and my pacifists out there.
If you've never heard this before uhhh there are a *couple* bad words.
😁
Pea - Red Hot Chili Peppers - One Hot Minute (1995)
Jamelia by Caribou is a soft haunting song. It's also my favorite on this list.
It's a song of remorse, and lead vocals convey raw, unfiltered emotion.
The R3volve remix takes that pain and adds a progressive beat to it to create something beautiful.
This is another song that with an amazing bassline.
4:15 - 7:05 is about as good as anything I've ever heard. I get goosebumps everytime.
Jamelia - Caribou (R3volve Remix) - Unreleased (2010)
On Her Majesty's Service is a song that was made for people who truly enjoy hearing a song in stereo.
Let's not even talk about how amazing the song is, and how it sound like the perfect unofficial James Bond song.
The mixing is perfect. The symbols so clean. And boy, I hope your subwoofer is ready for some work cause that bassline is a thing of beauty.
On Her Majesty's Service - Propellerheads - DecksAndDrumsAndRockAndRoll (1999)
