Incredible Women: 90′s Part Deux

(RIP) Aaliyah Are You That Somebody?  Remember when this song was all over the place?

One in a Million “Love it babe, love it babe, love it babe…”

Sarah McLachlan Building a Mystery “You’re so beautiful, a beautiful fucked up man…”

Sweet Surrender (The opening tune and chorus is perfect.)

Tori Amos God (The background vocal during “Why you always when the wind blows?” always gets me.)



Incredible Women: Some 90′s goodness from various women artists

I’ve been watching these videos over and over on youtube for the past week.  What is it about them that I like so much?  Is it the quiet sensuality of each song?  Or is it the strength?  All three of them approach love, relationships, and adultery in very strong ways.

Tributes: I Heart….Grace Jones

I admit, I didn’t get truly interested in Grace until I saw Corporate Cannibal.  I’ve always known about her, but I’ve never gotten into her.  Now with her latest album, I’m a believer.  I love her, she’s so unapologetic about who she is.   She’s very worldly, has a very pleasant voice, thoughtful lyrics, and is very good at creating music. 

I wish I could have a fraction of her coolness, and I will buy her latest album, “Hurricane”.

Tributes: I Heart…Shahrukh Khan

I love Shahrukh Khan, he’s a beautiful man who doesn’t take himself seriously.  Some of my favorite musical bits from the various movies of SRK.  I will not be posting videos from Devdas and Don, because I have already dedicated whole posts to them already.

From Asoka.  Asoka holds a special place in my heart because this movie was my official viewing of a Bollywood picture.  And my first viewing of Shahrukh himself.  He is so beautiful here in every scene he’s in, I have to go, “Stop it, I’m trying to follow the plot!”  Oh, and Kareena Kapoor is really cool herself.

O Re Kaanchi (I love this song, but what is up with Ashoka giving Kaurwaki the cold shoulder?)
