# On The CD Player Today (take 6)

The Watchmen - Silent Radar
Alex Loyd - Black The Sun
David Bowie - Reality + bonus cd ep
(not the version w/ his meh (iirc) cover of Waterloo Sunset fortunately)
much better than expected / remembered the songs I'd heard being
- didn't bother with it at the time because it kept being reissued with different extra tracks + that still incredibly naff cover.
 
kym sims - too blind to see
crystal waters - making happy
rapination and kym mazelle - love me the right way
bizarre inc feat angie brown - i'm gonna get you
 
The techno thread got me listening to this last night...

Thanks to someone on the radio.

Charles Trénet "La Mer"



La mer
Qu'on voit danser
le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie

La mer
Au ciel d’été confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergère d'azur
Infinie

Voyez
Pres des étangs
Ces grands roseaux mouilles
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillées

La mer
Les a bercés
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie

That last untranslatable phrase alone* makes me realise why I love the French language and want to end my days walking along a French beach ...

* cradled / rocked / raised my heart in preparation for life (I think)
 
Gustav Mahler - Symphony No 5 (Berlin Phil/Karajan)

Maybe a tad more sentimental a version than I'd really like, but Karajan and the BPO just get such a glorious sound out of both the brass and the strings.
 
The Pixies - "Bossanova"
The Afghan Whigs - "Black Love"
NWA - "Straight Outta Compton"

A very West Coast USA day in its various forms today. :cool:
 
Chic - I Want Your Love. I am convinced this is the greatest song ever made. Someone - Mr Scruff I think - played it at the Big Chill last week and it just felt like instant bliss.
 
blameless - the signs are all there
Wavves - King Of The Beach
Owl City - Ocean Waves
Beach Boys - Surf's Up (album)

Been after a copy of this for 18 years since I first heard Peel play the Astralasia and Irresistable Force tracks from it!





Got to go work now :(

Agreed :) Such a lovely song.

From that, The Loved Ones:
