Back in 2005, I blogged about my playlist (ala iTunes celebrity playlists). It’s been a while and there’s a lot of different music I’ve heard since then, so I’ve decided to create a second playlist.
Note: These are tunes I’ve discovered or rediscovered since 2005, not just music that has been released since then.
- Saul Williams – “List of Demands (Reparations)” (I heard this on a Nike ad, and loved it. Everyone I’ve played this for has also loved it.)
- Mylo – “In My Arms” (This song has the highest play count in my entire iTunes library.)
- Company B – “Fascinated” (I’m embarrassed to say I like this song 🙂 )
- Duran Duran – “Come Undone” (This song never seems to get old. Almost every time someone around here’s it, they ask me what the name if the song is.)
- Hot Hot Heat – “Talk to Me, Dance with Me”
- Howard Jones – “New Song” (At first I downloaded this song for the nostalgia. Then I realized how cool and unique this song still is)
- Kate Bush – “Cloudbusting” (If you already know this song, you already know I’m a fan because of the tagline on my blog. Check out the video for it and “Something good” by Utah Saints, which samples it.)
- K’s Choice – “Everything For Free” (It’s too bad they weren’t bigger, because they were really good songwriters.)
- Midnight Oil – “Blue Sky Mine”
- Pink Floyd – “The Great Gig in the Sky”
- Jane’s Addiction – “Three Days”
- Republica – “Ready To Go”
- Stardust – “Music Sounds Better with You”
- Wu-Tang Clan – “Da Mystery of Chessboxin'” (I didn’t have enough room on my first playlist to include Wu-Tang)
- Keane – “Is It Any Wonder?”
- Sneaker Pimps – “6 Underground (Nellee Hooper Edit)”
- Florence + the Machine – “Spectrum (Say My Name)”
- Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Breaking the Girl”
- Livvi Franc – “Now I’m That Bitch (Kaskade Mix)”
- The Verve – “Bitter Sweet Symphony”
- Ladyhawke – “Magic” (I first heard this on an episode of Entourage, which is a great place to discover new music.)
- Van Halen – “I’ll Wait” (I couldn’t decide between this and “Panama”, which has always been my favourite Van Halen song. Most people have already heard “Panama”, and this one deserves to be discovered.)
- U2 – “Pride (In the Name of Love)”
- The Cult – “She Sells Sanctuary”
