It's coming, it's coming. Don't get yer USB cables in a knot.

You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
I don't think this has ever happened before in a general song tournament, but I actually liked every song nominated in this round.


1) Kajagoogoo - Too Shy
2) jiro inagaki & soul media - painted paradise
3) Tapio Rautavaara - On aivan sama (The link had the message "Video unavailable. This video is not available.", so I used this link instead.)
4) Rose of the West - Roads
5) Billy Joel - Pressure
6) David Bowie - Underground
7) Robert Plant - Big Log
8) The Naked and Famous - I Kill Giants
9) Joy Askew - Little Darling
10) The Cranberries - Zombie
11) Legendary Shack Shakers - Blood on the Blue Grass



Still @pahaK, @resopamenic, @cat_sidhe, @honeykid, @Captain Spaulding and @ynwtf to vote.....



A little musical intermission dedicated to Meester Wootf (to hopefully cheer him up a little) whilst we wait for those yet to vote.....



Marvin Gaye - Wherever I Lay My @ (That's My Home)



1. Rose of the West - Roads
A new discovery for me when I was clicking on Spotify's recommendations for me based on my Ever Growing Playlist. Loved it the second I heard it!

2. Kajagoogoo - Too Shy
Love this 80s gem!

3. jiro inagaki & soul media - painted paradise
Oooh, funky little thing! Yep, like this a lot. Reminds me of Chic Corea. I would add this to my Every Growing Spotify playlist, but it's not available!

4. Billy Joel - PressureI
Forgot all about this song! Nice to hear it again.

5. Legendary Shack Shakers - Blood on the Blue Grass
I like a bit of bluegrass. Never heard this before. Pretty cool.

6. The Naked and Famous - I Kill Giants

7. Joy Askew - Little Darling
Quite nice, liked the guitar in the background...

8. David Bowie - Underground
Not a favourite Bowie, even though I love him in general

9. Robert Plant - Big Log

10. Tapio Rautavaara - On aivan sama

11. The Cranberries - Zombie

Don't you mean you adore him in forever?

Round 7

jiro inagaki & soul media - painted paradise - Just letting this wash over me.

The Cranberries - Zombie - I've just finished quite a tough therapy session, so this will have to take second spot.

Kajagoogoo - Too Shy - Stone cold 80's classic. I love it. If it wasn't that I hear this quite regularly it might've nudged Zombie from #2.

Rose of the West - Roads - Sorry, it sort of fell into background for me. Nothing wrong with it, just not for now. Get the feeling I'd have liked it a lot more 20 years ago.

Joy Askew - Little Darling - Quite nice, but not really much else. It's placing will depend more on the rest than its own merits for me.

The Naked and Famous - I Kill Giants - I don't really have much to say, which is kind of why it's here.

Robert Plant - Big Log - I was with this but it just went on too long.

Billy Joel - Pressure - I have no nostalgia for Billy Joel and don't really know his stuff. But it rarely makes me want to seek out more. No different here.

Legendary Shack Shakers - Blood on the Blue Grass - I need something with some life in it. I don't care for it, but it's not last.

Tapio Rautavaara - On aivan sama § (alt link if needed) - Not my thing. I don't really like most forms of folk or traditional music unless there's a hook.

David Bowie - Underground - Never saw the appeal of Labyrinth and Bowie beyond the early 80's isn't usually something I choose to listen or am familar with either. I don't watch the vids and the song isn't doing anything to change my mind about the second part.

How do you manage to be wrong about everything?



I'm kidding, of course. But seriously Billy Joel is one of those born musicians who's got catchiness coming out of his pores. Just seems effortless, for him.

I realize that last sentence is rife for artful misquoting but I'm sticking with it.



I'm listening to these right now. Had to move stuff around my apartment yesterday due to repairs. My computer ended up in the kitchen, and I didn't have long enough ethernet cable until I went shopping today.
