Take me out

Me and wayne were just chatting about New Kids on the Block and how he just put the moves on some chick by singing and dancing to 'Step by Step' LOL LOL LOL a verifiable classic. I especially *adore* the dance sequence on the stairs. That was my thing... LaughOutLoudRollingOnTheGround just thinking about it... anyways, I dont know but somehow this inspired me to post more musical stylings... download these songs and try em out. You might like em. Im still waiting for the next Spice Girls-'2 become 1' (Ive got a BIG soft spot LOL), however, theres not quite anything yet that reaches that kind of pantheon status.

Radio One and Virgin Radio has been a sweet change, almost everything is different and new. Granted, like I mentioned previous, lots of shite euro-pop as well, but Ive developed a good filter, I think. Two heavy "likes" Ive adopted so far since Ive been here has been Snow Patrol and Keane. This time around try download 'How to be Dead' by Snow Patrol. They try to trick you into thinking its something else, title sounds morbid, but dont let it fool you, it plays real cool-like, perfect for walking down the street on a idle fall day, with a zipped up turtleneck jumper. Also try out 'Bedshaped' by Keane. Its pretty chill as well... These guys remind me of Travis circa 1999-2000. Then Coldplay borrowed from Travis... and Keane borrows from Coldplay...

Next one is 'Take Me Out' by Franz Ferdindand. It has one of the best song transitions Ive heard in a while, following the Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven mold. Not as long as, but in the same way it, like, just switches; just wait for it... its coming and then its there. Also this song must be played LOUD.

And just for shits and giggles: Ill throw out the new george michael 'round here'. Its a not so much gay-dancing george, but more the old school wham! careless whisper george, albeit with a electronic stroke. Careless Whispers, thats Tito Max's favorite song, and in Tito Max's rendition, Ive never seen a filipino sing a song with so much passion... HAHAHA... he closes his eyes even... pinoys and singing with their karaoke magic mics, now THAT I could write a whole column on, alone. Following the same theme, also tryout 'Mary' by Scissor Sisters, because it sounds like Elton John actually. I thought it was him at first.

Okay, thats it, just thought Id share, and if you already have any of these songs, then youre already cool and dont need any assistance. Now finally, on a related note, Britney Spears now has a Greatest Hits Album (Umm... shes like 14. Whatthefack?) Given the recent events in her life, Ive downgraded the over/under on her first Playboy appearance from 'in 7 years' to ' in 2 years'. Im taking 3-2 odds. Any takers on that?

Happy Hallowe'en.
