All good songs! The ones that I could hear, anyway.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll have to hunt down that Irving Berlin song.... He's one of my favorite 20th century composers.
I loved the Evanescence video! That's the first time I heard that song. I've always been impressed by the fact that she makes her own clothes. She could design my wardrobe anyday! ^_^ I can't wait for the new album to be released.
And I absolutely loved RHCP. I liked all the different sorts of people in the video. Nice!
I heard her first hit song through you, I think. I heard it this afternoon and recognized her voice instantly. What a set of pipes. I'm waiting for the agonizingly beautiful children's album.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Flea really inspires me the way he gets into his music. Go go go.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Evanescence video is supposedly aimed at her ex-boyfriend, who's in rehab. x_x
