Album Covers - Part One

Here are some random album covers from my iTunes collection. It's kind of a hobby of mine to hear new songs, either on the radio or suggested by a friend, then to buy a single.

This is Jasmine Tinchu, a Chinese singer whose album is called "Sound of Rain".








This is the album cover for LCD Sound System. Their song is: "North American Scum."

oh i don't know, i don't know, oh, where to begin
we are north americans
and for those of you who still think we're from england
we're not, no.
we build our planes and our trains till we think we might die,
far from North America,
where the buildings are old and you might have lots of mimes.
aha, oh, oh.
i hate the feelin' when you're looking at me that way
cause we're north americans
but if we act all shy, it’ll make it ok
makes it go away.

oh I don't know, I don't know, oh, where to begin
when we're north american
but in the end we make the same mistakes all over again
come on north americans

we are north american scum
we’re from north america



This is from Paul McCartney's newest album. I got his new tune, "Nod Your Head" free from iTunes. It's a song full of "angst" and screaming! What happened to the lyrical Paul of yore? I guess he ran into some problems recently, hahaha!

When I went to a dance recital, someone danced to this music: "How Sweet It Is" (to be loved by you) by Michael Bublé.

Carole King, what a classic oldie! I bought, "I Feel the Earth Move". I loved her movie for kids, "Really Rosie". It still makes me laugh.

Cheap Trick's, "Live at the Budokan" (in Japan) contains a killer song:
"I Want You to Want Me".

I want you to want me,
I need you to need me,
I'd love you to love me,
I'm begging you to beg me.

I fell in love with this song. I looked these guys up on the Internet. Now they are old! sigh

Live Coldplay -- great energy. ("The One I Love")

Every once in awhile you just have to listen to electronic rock.

Here is KT Tunstall, a singer from Scotland. I love her song, "Suddenly I See". I have found it be VERY inspiring. It's such a passionate song. It speaks about thinking about your potential -- what you can be in your life.

While at the dance recital, I couldn't believe my ears! Here was a "heavy rock" version of Mozart's Lacrymosa. There is something bizarrely fascinating about this!
