Just a thread where everyone can post some of their favorite music...let's hope we can all pick some up great new music from each other.

I'll start off with a song by the brilliant Kate Nash

War. War never changes. The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted: Too many humans, not enough space or resources to go around. The details are trivial and pointless, the reasons, as always, purely human ones.

Good thread, let me start off with few easy to find ones.

Great, great song from the genius that is Elvis Costello, nicely used in a fan video for "Nightmare before Christmas"

Glen Hansard of the frames at his best, rather than the strangely forgettable, though pleasant, song which won the Oscar this year.

The great, great Tom waits.

Couldn't find a full clip, but if you don't know it, "The way young lovers do" by Van Morrison is a priceless gem, really a brilliant piece of music the way that the apparent discord adds up in the end to something that merges perfectly.

Why do people who read Dostoevsky look like Dostoevsky?

And while your in that time and place, check out "Alternative Ulster" by SLF, the peak of punk.

If you are going to have The Bolero it should include either Bo Derek or Torvill and Dean.

I absolutely adore "What happens when the heart just stops". Knocks me dead every time.

As for Van - what an album! Great article about the recording here:

good call, i almost put on the link from the '84 olympics but the music was garbled.

Really happy with the return on this thread so far!! Waits, Morrison, the Avalanches...

Thanks for reminding me of teenage kicks FF, long time since I heard it.

I wish I could post Waits' "A sight for sore eyes", but alas it can't be found on youtube.

Hauntingly beautiful. Heck, I could fill a few pages with Waits song links and not be bored by it.

Can't find "There'll be some changes made" by Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins either. Their entire collaboration cd is a joy for the ear.

Ah well...I suppose this'll have to do:

Damien Rice with '9 Crimes'

http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=aHW3BTF5pWY

The strangely compelling Buck 65 with 'Cries a girl' (video is some school project, but song is his)

http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=NcaiEYC9KJ8

British instrumental rockband 65 degrees of static (unofficial video again)

Billie Holiday
Mose Allison
Art Tatum
Michel Petrucciani
Pagny/Brel
and for something completely different
J'adore
which was a huge hit a couple of years ago in France.

That's some of today's listening for me.

Keeping order is a crutch for those too lazy to search for things.

And now for our required Canadian content...

The Sadies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5GvRpww4S8

One of my all-time favourite bands, Blue Rodeo. These guys have been around forever - big in Canada, nowhere else.

Arcade Fire - love their melodies. When we were in France, we were surprised to turn on the tv and find a documentary on them!!

Canada's party band - Great Big Sea
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AvkyHCU7XU

And finally, some Aussie content... Gaslight Radio (recommended to me by a certain member who no longer exists here):
