  • A Ditch

    Tunes I'm diggin' on my iPod right now:

    Blood Sweat & Tears:  God Bless the Child   Not the original Billie Holiday recording of this song (whom I utterly adore), but done up rather well.  Kinda funky-fun.

    Jane Monheit:  Over the Rainbow   A fun, jazzy version done by SUCH a lovely voice.  This is a woman you listen to while you're in a bubble bath with 3 gazillion candles lit and rose petals in the water (with a bubble bath is highly impractical . . but go with me here).  Thats what her voice sounds like. 

    Michael Buble:  Call Me Irresponsible   I've just recently 'found' this guy (I know, he's been around awhile).  He's a throwback to Frankie . . but with a different edge.  I just want to gobble him up.

    Evanescense:  . . . . their entire first album.  Be it my secret indulgence.  only . . just not so secret. 

    Ain't it Good? from Children of Eden (yes my darlings . . thats a musical.)  I must give a little background on this one.  Now you all probably know (if you've read any part of this blog) that I'm not exactly the most religious person around.  In fact . . I tend to get in trouble with my disgusted view of organized religion.  So that aside . . I adore this show (first act: Adam and Eve    second act: Noah and family), and this song in particular.  It's a kitchy little show. . quite surprising in it's quality.  And then they lay this on you near the end of the second act.  It literally makes me want to get up and dance.  I suppose thats the whole point.  But I will listen to this over and over.  Now mind you . . the vocalists voice isn't the best in the world . . and the version I hear in my head (from the show that I did) was BLOWYOUAWAYAMAZING . . . so I just get over it and kinda meld the two together . . . (or I'll sing at the top of my lungs . . but it's not pretty . . but hey ITS FUN).  That aside . . it STILL makes me want to get up and shake my ample booty all over my house.  And I have.  shush.

    Lenny Kravitz:  Black Velveteen  ok massive randomness . . but I love this tune.  It's so industrial . . . and a bit risque.

    On a quick random note . . . my darling wonderful innocent *coughbullshitcough* kittens decided to have themselves some dessert.  My strawberry marshmallows.    marshmallows?  wtf?!?!?!  Now mind you . . they didn't steal one and eat it.  Nooo.  They drooled all over them . . and sunk their teeth into just about EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM!  I think I was able to salvage 5.  *dejected sigh*  It's pretty darn good that they're cute as friggin buttons . . .
