Why did I ever believe I could do this?

Yes I mean blogging on a regular basis. This could mean a few things. I have more of a social life that before. or. I go out too much. I have nothing to write about. Its not important. Nobody reads this thing anyway. All sorts of thing.

I have a weird dream last night. It involved old friends, family, a MCTS bus and a Applebee's style restaurant. There were a lot of people I didn't know also. I have no clue what that was about but my subconscious created it so I guess.

Well maybe I will make a better attempt at blogging.

I turned on my ipod this morning which I desperately need new earbuds for and then browsed to a song, I've got to have you by Carly Simon. This made me think that a person music collection must say something about them. I am sure mine would say she is just a few steps away from being absolutely nuts. I like whole albums not just one sone from here and there. Of course I don't have some single songs. For instance the Carly Simon song.

Well who knows.

Deam Man's Bones

This very well may be a repeat post but I really enjoy this one.

In The Room Where You Sleep (live video version)


I don't know what it reminds me of but I do like music.

The Raconteurs

SO if you know me you know I really like them. Well I think today but I could be wrong. Bonnaroo posted their set from June 13, 2008. I was super excited and have been listening at my desk while I can today.

I am excited about the new album. I've been a fan of his music for a long while.

Dead and Gone

This seems that today is a very musical day for me. I feel that I need to make a change in my life I guess that what happens this time of year. Anyway T.I.'s Dead and Gone feat. Justin Timberlake really is sitting well with me today. Now video but here's some lyrics:


Ay
Let me kick it to you right quick, man
That on some gangsta shit man, on some real shit
Anybody done been through the same thing, I'm sure you feel the same way
Big Phil
This for you pimpin'

Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone

Ever had one of dem days wish woulda stayed home
Run into a group of niggas who gettin' they hate on
You walk by
They get wrong
You reply then shit get blown
Way outta proportion
Way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em
Figure you get your hair that's next
They don't wanna stop there now they bussin'
Now you gushin', ambulance rushin'
You to the hospital with a bad concussion
Plus ya hit 4 times
Plus it hit ya spine
Paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound
Nevermind that now you lucky to be alive
Just think it all started you fussin' with 3 guys
Now ya pride in the way, but ya pride is the way
You could fuck around, get shot, die anyday
Niggas die everyday
All over bull shit, dope money, dice game, ordinary hood shit
Could this be 'cos of hip hop music?
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
Usually niggas don't know what to do when their back against the wall so they just start shootin'
For red or for blue or for blo I guess
From Bankhead or from your projects
No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
That part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say
The old me dead and gone away

Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone

I aint never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead lookin' back at it
Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it when you out there trappin'
In apartments, hangin', smokin', and rappin'
Niggas start shit, next thing ya know we cappin'
Get locked up then didn't even get mad
Now think about damn what a life I had
Most of that shit, look back, just laugh
Some shit still look back get sad
Maybe my homboy still be around
Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
I won that fight
I lost that war
I can still see my nigga walkin' out that door
Who'da thought I'd never see Philant no more?
Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
Cost a nigga his job
Cost me more
I'da took that ass-whoopin now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
A nigga put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk shit all night
'Cos I hit you, you sue me,
I shoot you, get locked up, who me?
No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
That part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say
The old me dead and gone away

Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

I turn my head to the East
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the West
Still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the North
Swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me is dead and gone
But that new me will be alright

I turn my head to the East
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the West
Still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the North
Swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me is dead and gone
But that new me will be alright

Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead...

Call him

Erykah Badu's Tyrone is so entertaining. I love is so much that I am sharing it with you.

"Tyrone"
"Lets See How Ya'll Groove to this"
"Alright"
I'm gettin' tired of your shit
You don't never buy me nothin'
See Everytime you come around
You got to bring Jim, James, Paul, & Tyrone
See why can't we be by ourselves, sometimes
See I've been having this on my mind
For a long time
I just want it to be
You and me
Like It used to be, Baby
But ya don't know how to act
So matter of fact

I think ya better call Tyrone
(Call Him)
And Tell him come on, Help you get your Shit (Come On, Come on)
You need to Call Tyrone
(Call Him)
And tell him I said come on
Now everytime I ask you for a little cash
You say no and turn right around and ask me for some ass
Oh, Well hold up
Listen partna
I ain't no cheap thrill
Cause Miss Badu is always comin' for real
And you know the deal
Everytime we go somewhere
I gotta reach down in my purse
To pay your way and your homeboys way
And sometimes your cousin's way
They don't never have to pay
Don't have no cars
Hang around in bars
Try to hang around with stars
Like Badu
I'm gon' tell you the truth
Show and prove
or get the boot
I think ya better, (Erykah Badu-He, he he)
(Call Him)
And tell him come on
Help you get your shit
You need to call Tyrone
(Call Him)
"Hold On"
But ya can't use my phone

Another Way to Die

I think this song is growing on me. Not terribly exciting but I like it.

It's soapbox time

Well, well mixed reviews of Quantum of Solace theme song. That being the new James Bond movie. Today it was debuts on a UK radio station. http://tinyurl.com/4l3yaa you can check it out on Buzz Sugar.

In the UK (at least that radio station) loved it. I have only listened to it once and I liked it. I'll have to listen a few more times though.

Here are my thoughts on the matter. When you do a collaboration with very popular artists in different genres of music you are bound to have varying opinions.

Where do I stand?

I like Alicia Keys. Some times I think her heavier, husky voice needs the right music to accompany it. Maybe I'm crazy but I loved the first two albums and half loved the third.

Jack White definitely has an interesting sound, that I love. Listening to The Raconteurs' Carolina Drama. Both vocally and as a guitarist.

When I first heard of the pair I thought that will be interesting. I am not ready to cast my vote about how well they meshed their sounds together. Take a listen, what do you think?

Beth's Playlist

After talking with Beth about many things. We discovered that she needed a Tamara's playlist. So I will be throughout the day compiling a list of the music that I am listening to or just plain amuse me.

Duffy - Mercy
Estelle - American Boy
Lil Wayne - Lollipop
Maroon 5 feat Rihanna - If I Never See Your Face Again
Gavin Rossdale - Love Remains the Same
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

I'll probably think of more as soon aas I close this window.

Kings of Leon - Because of the Times - On Call

Carolina Drama
Rich Kid Blues
Attention

Back hopely tomorrow with more song picks. Its the weekend it might get crazy.

Music: Todays favorites

Since I don't have the attention span to do a proper yearly list. I will do a today's favorite list as often as I remember.

Snow Patrol - Eyes Open - Make this go on Forever
Duffy - Rockferry - Mercy
The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely - Consoler of the Lonely
Panic at the Disco - Pretty. Odd. - Nine in the Afternoon
Erykah Badu - Live - Tyrone

I think 5 will do.

I think I might cry

I guess Leonard Cohen was inducted into the Music Hall of Fame March 10th and at the Ceremony Damian Rice performed Hallelujah. Well I just listened to it and man every time I hear the song I start to feel a little sad.

It is a real touching song. Now that I heard that I want to listen to the Jeff Buckley (I'll say it for Beth: "He's dead") version which won't make me feel any better.

iTunes music

I have been playing around with my iTunes library lately. I have decided that I need new music. Here is my top 25.
