Songs Stuck in My Head

Well, the title gives it away, here are some songs I've been liking a lot lately.

Pete Yorn - Splendid Isolation. This one is actually a cover of the late, great Warren Zevon's song. I just happen to like Yorn's version more.

The Beatles - Money (That's What I Want). Wow, happens to be another cover, and again, the Beatles version is catchy as ever.

Cassino - New Jerusalem. Shout out here to an unsigned band that I believe is one of the best in today's world. I absolutely love them, and turns out they are 2 of the remnants of what used to be Northstar...although they aren't huge on talking about them.

Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Coming. Little old school funk/soul action for the Memphis '60s-'70s era.

Third Eye Blind - How's It Gonna Be. I saw them in concert, they were delicious. This song is my favorite from them...although there's several other close calls.

Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. Off the great Graceland album. This one's my favorite. By the way, I love Paul Simon. What a cool guy, I wish I knew him personally.

James Taylor - Mexico. So many good ones from JT but this one sticks in my head for weeks after I hear it. I honestly hum it in my sleep.

The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight. I kept seeing the UPS commercial that uses their song Such Great Heights, and then I turned my iTunes on and this was the first song that came on...such a good one.

Steve Goodman - A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request. Just because baseball season is right around the corner. God Bless this man.

There's a diverse number of songs in there, I'm halfway impressed with myself. Maybe check these out if you get bored. I really like them all, but then again my musical tastes have been called terrible by people who I thought knew nothing.

Quick note, I got ripped into by one of my three readers recently. He said, "We're old, all we're looking for is something every other day at least. You're awful at this." Well, thanks, and here you go. I figure you won't enjoy this.
