…has anyone else heard her new single, “A Public Affair”?
I’m officially going on the record as saying that it’s my current guilty pleasure and, even more scandalously, it will probably end up in my Top 10 Songs of 2006.
You can watch the video for the song here…and if watching Jessica for four minutes isn’t enough reason to watch, it also features Christina Applegate and Eva Longoria.
Usually, I have some recollection where I first heard these so-called “deep cuts,” but this personal discovery eludes me. It’s a gorgeous yet melancholy piece of folk-rock from the 1971 album, Liquid Acrobat As Regards the Air, but the version I have is from BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert.
Listen to a song clip here, but I have to warn you, the live version is better.
I went through my Elton John (music) phase long before I heard this gem from his 1972 album, Honky Chateau. It’s a beautiful love song, dedicated to New York City. It features some of Elton’s best melody while lyricist Bernie Taupin adds some vivid, city-related imagery. Over the years, this has become my favorite Elton John song.
Listen to a song clip here.
Believe it or not, I first heard this gem on a recent American Airlines flight, as part of their 33 1/3 onboard radio programming. I haven’t dug into much of the Who’s work, but this funky track from 1982’s It’s Hard just might change all of that.
Listen to a sound clip here.
…and, hello, Chauffeur, I’m looking in your direction…you’ll have a major laugh over this clip, where two old blokes you may or may not recognize by their faces (though you’ll certainly recognize their songs) see which of them can make the most money while playing their hits as they busk on a street corner in London.
