Week 30, 2009

This week I made a CD for our trip to Big Bear.

It had 4 songs from AIR, 2 french songs from Iggy Pop's new album, 2 songs from the collaboration album of DangerMouse, SparkleHorse & David Lynch plus a few other songs. Everyone loved that CD so much. It played non stop for the whole time we were there. The 2nd evening when I tried to change the music by playing my songs from Hypem.com people immediately asked me to turn it off.
So all my songs this week would be from that playlist.

1) La Femme d'Argent - Air

2) Le Voyage De Penelope - Air

3) New Star In The Sky (Chanson Pour Solal) - Air

4) Les Feuilles Mortes - Iggy Pop

5) Je Sais Que Tu Sais - Iggy Pop

6) Sexual Sportswear - Sebastien Tellier

7) Revenge (feat. Wayne Coyne) - Sparklehorse & DangerMouse

8) Everytime I'm With You (feat. Jason Lytle) - Sparklehorse & DangerMouse

It was the music for our Voyage in outer space. Every song seemed perfect as they kept playing one after another. I had to burn 5 CDs for everyone as a souvenir for the trip.

Week 14 2009

This week was mostly spent listening to Sebastien Tellier & Verve Remixed CDs.

1) Divine - Sebastien Tellier

2) Here Comes the Sun - The Beatles This song played a lot last week, mainly because I read Jaideep Verma's excellent book about Bombay - LOCAL. Read the book to find out. Its availabl on Amazon.

3) Something About Us - Daft Punk - I'm hooked to this track. Thanks to Michel Gondry. He was on kcrw promoting his new DVD & dedicated this song to some lady in his life.

4) Cry Me a River(Truth & Soul remix) - Dinah Washington This is in Verve Remixed 4.

5) Speak Low( Bent remix) - Billie Holiday This is in Verve Remixed 3. The audio of this song has been deleted from youtube due to copyright issues.
