Jeff's favorite music

Just one more thread, to cover music, proud and all knowing part of my trinity of interests.

My aim is to put together a wonderfully persuasive, and unexpectedly all-inclusive mix that totally makes sense, but shouldn't, if anything was just slightly different.

Each post in this thread will contain enough music that would be the running time of a feature length film.

1 --- Richard Tauber - Freunde, das Leben ist lebenswert aus Giuditta (Lehàr)

how Berlin Alexanderplatz begins




2 --- Björk Mother Heroic

my muse, special stuff here, i think it comes from her collaboration with John Tavener




3 --- Moon River - La Mala Educación

Haunting rendtion from one of Almodovar's better films




4 --- Musica Poetica I: Gassenhauer

I adore how this sounds, and i thank the movie Badlands for it




5 --- June Christy - Bewitched

I heard this in a Godard, and it's needed at this point



6 --- Soul Bossa Nova

one of the grooviest things i've heard





7 --- Parliament - Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

From groove to a funk standard




8 --- John Cooper Clarke - Evidently Chickentown

this is a weird little dittie i found long ago




9 --- Greta Van Fleet - Heat Above

a GREAT power ballad




10 --- Tom Waits - "God's Away On Business"

an edgy Tom hit




11 --- Skinny Puppy-Chainsaw

love me some classic industrial sometimes




12 --- Joséphine Baker "La Petite Tonkinoise" "Pretty Little Tonkin Girl" Il m'appelle sa p'tite bourgeoise

My favorite moment in Forbidden Zone when Frenchie sings this



13 --- Chantal Goya-Tu M'as Trop Menti

then we remember a classic 60's French pop hit



14 --- Santo & Johnny - Sleep Walk

Overture to the next string of doo-wop hits that are featured in a Kenneth Anger film -- Rabbit's Moon




15 --- The Capris -There's A Moon Out Tonight



16 --- Mary Wells - Bye Bye Baby




17 --- The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You




18 --- The El Dorados - Tears on My Pillow




19 --- Robert Schumann. "Gesänge der Frühe" Op.133. 1853

I feel this piano piece so much, it feels like it expresses the sad part of going crazy




20 --- Nick Lowe - "The Beast In Me"

The Sopranos gave me many songs to cherish, this seems very apt to end on here

27 --- Sparks, that funny song from Guy Maddin's late career effort
28 --- Grimes - Genesis -- I love a couple Grimes songs, this is one of them
29 --- Samiyyah - Never Mind -- this was a lucky find a little over a year ago

This reminds me of Hamilton Bohannon's Disco Stomp.

I don't know if your musical taste makes any sense but it's nice to listen to stuff I had never heard of before.
Maybe I'll start a thread of my own just to see how it compares

Thanks, i don't understand why i like what i like, it's either to be catchy, or a dignified kind of gloomy. Lyrics hardly ever mean anything to me, it's all about the sound overall.

All sorts of great stuff in here. The more eclectic and wide ranging, the better, I say.

Thanks, maybe that's just the word for my music tastes -- eclectic, some of the top hits, less known finds that come few and far between, and classical. I don't want to be spending time usually finding more stuff, that could be seen as obscure, not enough time, not when one has audiobooks to listen to.
