Got my headphones on today. I set the player to shuffle and one song came up that took me back in time.
God Bless The Child. Yep, the Billie Holiday staple I used to jam live at coffee houses and other small venues in L.A. with friends and fellow musicians. What a sultry song. So elegant, yet bluesy enough to recreate and still make it sound new and relevant.
In fact, it’s been covered, re-invented and re-hashed, it’s available in so many different flavors today. I’ve heard a few that got my attention, including a mind-blowing one from Mishka Adams. But after all these years, I would have to say my top pick is still the unbeatable, powerful, show-stopping version from the one, the only, the saxy… Miss Lisa Simpson.

It is a gorgeous song. My favourite version of all time is by Lou Rawls with Les McCann on piano. It is stunning. I am going to be loving this blog. I do love talking about music.
ooooh, a new blog! I like it. There aren’t that many music blogs around, at least none that I thought had my interest, I did once had a music blog, mostly about Asian music but at last I could not get that domain back
Interesting selections you have here, never did quite got into jazz but the Lisa Simpson interpretation’s an interesting take
about the title, at first I thought it was “music music I heart music”, no idea where that came from
and I might add, the pic of you in the welcome page, an interesting choice, I have no idea what that gesture is suppose to me, were you dancing in that shot?
Since you ask…I listen to mostly pop music though I think it has all sort of meanings to that word now but I’ve been listening to The Perisher’s “Victories” album and just got Joanna Wang’s “Start from here”, both in English but I also listen to Cantonese, Mandarin and occasional Japanese music. I am Chinese.
I have a fondness for musicians who writes their own material. And movie soundtracks as well – I recommend “The Legend of 1900″and the Japanese movie soundtrack to “Love Letters” are two of my favorites – both are also my favorite movie. But I have a very long list of artist that I like so but I won’t list them here.
It’s not too late to change the name, I don’t know if anyone’s using that title and yours it is a new site…anyway, it is up to you
