Padre's Playlist

So my dad has been my biggest music influence. He introduced me to The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, of course.

But I ALSO thank him for introducing me to Peter Gabriel, The Talking Heads, Psychedelic Furs, John Hiatt, David Bowie, etc...

Because of his influence, I have decided to make him playlists of new (with a few recent classics in there) to keep him with the times; a sort of "return the favor" kind of thing. I make these about once every couple of months, and I must say they have quite an affect. For instance, he is dying to see The Killers live (this coming from a man who has seen The Who, Peter Gabriel, Jethro Tull, etc. live), and thinks Knights of Cydonia live is one colossal piece of musical bliss. So here I continue my brainwashing...and I also bring it to you.

I'm sure most of you have heard of these, but if not, I highly recommend having a listen. (May I also say that I took the time to put these in just the right order. It's a must.)

My Heart Is Beating Like A Jungle Drummm

Songs Chelsie is listening to that she feels other are missing out on if they are not:

Transmission -Joy Division
Because I just want to dance dance dance dance dance to the radio.

Can't Stop Feeling -Franz Ferdinand
Because they now play it live...well, they play it live, AGAIN.

Jungle Drum -Emiliana Torrini
A dun a dun a dunkadundundun

This River Is Wild -The Killers
Because I just can't stop loving Sam's Town more than any other album. Ever.



Ummmmm
Keane is collaborating with Kanye West, everybody.
And KOL and Radiohead to be on Twilight soundtrack. I have to admit, it does get more young people to discover good music...which is a really great thing. It happened with Muse, and who wouldn't fall in love with KOL? So I like this.

In The Beginning...

So I've done it. I have a xanga, and even another blog...but here is the beginning of what could be border line obsession; the Rock Blog. I have been meaning to do this for a while now, but them good ol things like class and work seem to get in the way.
But not tonight!
Tonight I start my own Sweet Talk.
My mission? To rock the rock blogs, and your socks (and perhaps quiver your liver at the same time!).
I have a list started of music I love, but of course that's just a smaaaalll dose of my music loves. You'll hear a lot about The Killers, no doubt, but I'm in a pretty amazing Kings of Leon, Joy Division, and Muse groove right now too...so WATCH OUT!


...I be bloggin.
