While I'm not fond of her take on La Vie En Rose, she does a kick ass Ne Me Quitte Pas (which is also in the bonus track section in English, but carries more emotion in the original French, I think). Even DH pronounced it a success for "Coke Nose" (his little nickname for her).Uncle Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640222544414814556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281549763621498671.post-36779790602326631722008-01-29T04:19:00.000-08:002008-01-29T04:19:00.000-08:00I've read nothing but glowing reviews of the Belin...I've read nothing but glowing reviews of the Belinda album, but I'm still too afraid to take the plunge.

As of right now I have just under 100 CDs to go. According to the counter, I have 887 albums. 2307 artists, 11812 songs, 31.9 days, 59.25 GB. This does not include all of DH's music, 1/2 of which is dreck (I'm sure you'd love it all, Walt). Oh, and today I downloaded a few new albums from the iTunes store, including Belinda Carlisle's latest album.

I've nearly done uploading songs. I've been obsessed with this for almost two months. Another week or so and I hope to have my cd collection uploaded. I've got to tell you how exhausting it is. I immerse myself into things and this has been a total immersion affair.Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620529180550445841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281549763621498671.post-16548658492360865182008-01-25T20:03:00.000-08:002008-01-25T20:03:00.000-08:00My favorite playlists are in the order the songs w...My favorite playlists are in the order the songs were added (except for multiples by the same artist, which are dragged and dropped randomly) and I like to listen to them in that order to see how each has grown. My favorite is called "Coffee Music" and is a mish-mosh of songs I would have playing in my fantasy café. I do have one list set to shuffle. It's called "Monday, Monday,: and is filled with depressing songs. I made it back when I spent large chunks of my day praying for either a new job or death, whichever would deliver me quicker. I used to listen to it at work every Monday and it's long enough to last the entire ride to work, the 9 hour workday (including lunch), and all the way home again. Tracks include Monday, Monday (The Mamas & The Papas), Tired (Madeline Kahn), The Wind Will Change Tomorrow (Ed Ames), Waltz for Suzy (Dudley Moore), But Not For Me (Natalie Merchant), All Cried Out (Alison Moyet), Down In the Valley (Johnny Cash), I'd Rather Go Blind (Etta James), Fragile (Rumors Of The Big Wave), Throwing Stones (Paula Cole), Hymn To Love (Cyndi Lauper), It's Not Easy Being Green (Kermit the Frog), Save Me (Queen)<BR/>Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues (Natalie Douglas), Ne me quitte pas (Nina Simone), I Can't Get Out Of This Mood (Sarah Vaughan), In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning (Rosemary Clooney), Doug at the Gates of Hell (Uncle Bonsai), Once Upon A Summertime (Blossom Dearie), The Rape Of The World (Tracy Chapman), Oh, to Be Stupid Again (Michael Winther), Rock 'N' Roll Suicide (David Bowie), Waiting For My Real Life To Begin (Colin Hay), Is That All There Is (Miss Peggy Lee), What Have I Done To Deserve This? (Pet Shop Boys)... well, you get the idea. I don't listen to it often anymore, but once in a while I need a good walllow in what one of my teachers called "a delicious depression."Uncle Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640222544414814556noreply@blogger.com
