Baba O’Riley by The Who

This began as part of Townshend’s “Lifehouse” project. He wanted to make a double album with music that would interact with the audience. The idea was to select fans, enter their vital information (height, age, etc.) into a synthesizer, and use the information to program the synthesizer. Townshend created this by using Meher Baba’s information. He never finished Lifehouse, but the songs he wrote were used on Who’s Next

Sarah McLachlan – Dear God lyrics

Dear God
Hope you got the letter and…
I pray you can make it better down here
I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
Cause they don’t get enough to eat
From God
I can’t believe in you
Dear God
Sorry to disturb you but…
I feel that I should be hear loud and clear
We all need a big reduction
In the amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
Cause they can’t make opinions meet about God
I can’t believe in you
Did you make disease
and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind
after we made you?
And the devil too?
Dear God,
Don’t know if you noticed but…
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And as crazy humans wrote it
you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image
Still believeing that junk is true
Well I know it ain’t and so do you, dear God
I can’t believe in
I don’t believe in
I won’t believe in heaven and hell
no saints no sinners no devil as well
no pearly gate no thorny crown
you’re always letting us humans down
the wars you bring
the babes you drown
those lost at sea and never found
and it’s all the same the whole world round
the hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
is just somebody’s unholy hoax
And if you’re up there you’d perceive
That my heart’s here upon my sleeve
If there’s one thing I don’t believe in…
It’s you, dear God.

Shocking conversation on the subway

We where sitting on the subway on our way downtown when some young girls where talking sitting next to us talking. One of them said to the other one: “You should read more music history…”, and then started to sing Coolio …. “I see you when you get there…”. Music history???? Elvis is music history, Bach is history, Coolio is’nt!!!

Genious NWA cover!!

Sat listening to DJ Friendly at P3 this afternoon. He played Nina Gordon doing cover of Niggaz With Attitudes “Straight out of compton”. Have been searching the Net for the cd but I’m not able to find it, anyhow – I found her website http://www.ninagordon.com, and you can listen to the soundclip by clicking in to “Sights and sounds”
