Music is such a big part of the lives of all of the bloggers here in the music channel, we thought we’d give you a little insight into the music we’re listening to. So we’ve all compiled a list of the songs we heard yesterday.
Mine’s a little bit different than it might be on an average Sunday as I was spent most of the day with my parents after the big k.d. lang show. So don’t judge me too harshly, but here it is.
When I woke up Dad was watching Sunday. Not a lot of music there, but James Reyne and Mark Seymour did make an appearance for a great performance of World Party’s “Ship of Fools.”
Dad headed downstairs to work on my car so I flicked over to take in a little Video Hits. The tracks are always a bit hit and miss, but I had my sister’s copy of Rolling Stone to amuse me when it was terrible. Here’s what I heard.
- “Piece of Me” – Britney Spears
- “Vogue” – Madonn
- “Nothing Compares 2 U” – Sinead O’Connor
- “With Every Heartbeat” – Robyn
- “Sweet About Me” – Gabriella Cilmi
- “Real to Me” – Brian McFadden
- “Moving to New York” – The Wombats
Mum woke up around this point so I decided to go and hang out with her in the bedroom. My parents tend to just listen to the radio, and these were the songs I heard.
- “Amazing” – Alex Lloyd
- “Copperhead Road” – Steve Earle
- “Good Excuse” – John Butler Trio
- “Standing on the Outside” – Cold Chisel
- “Untouched” – The Veronicas
- “Check it Out” – John Mellencamp
- “The World I Know” – Collective Soul
- “If I Had Eyes” – Jack Johnson
- “Dakota” – Stereophonics
- “Let Me Entertain You” – Robbie Williams
- “All Your Reasons” – Matchbox Twenty
- “Fast Car” – Tracy Chapman
- “The Joker and the Thief” – Wolfmother
- “Safety Dance” – Men Without Hats
- “U & UR Hand” – Pink
- “Ashes to Ashes” – David Bowie
- “I Was Made for Loving You” – Kiss
- “Sounds of Then” – GANGgajang
- “Pictures of You” – The Last Goodnight
- “My Happiness” – Powderfinger
- “Call Me” – Blondie
Then my Dad hijacked the radio and switched it to the easy listening station. I was in and out most of this time, but these are the songs I heard.
- “Wild World” – Cat Stevens
- “You Don’t Know Me” – Ray Charles
- “When Will I Be Loved” – Linda Ronstadt
- “Rainy Night in Georgia” – Randy Crawford
By this time it was around 5 so I decided to head home. I listened to the cool No Man’s Woman compilation, skipping the tracks that just don’t rev me. These are the ones that made the cut.
- “River” – Angus Stone
- “Glorybox” – Powderfinger
- “Landslide” – Lior
- “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road” – Bob Evans
- “Nothing Compares 2 U” – Dan Kelly
- “Wuthering Heights” – Josh Pyke
- “Boys in Town” – Grinspoon
Looking at these tracks just makes me wish I was back there again! Weekends are just never long enough!
