Music: What are you listening to today?

Heard this song (HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS) for the first time in 20+ years at, of all places, Harry Reid INTL Airport recently...it's still kinda stuck in my head:

Now I need to post the cover version.

Sam Kinison Sings "Are You Lonesome Tonight"

Sometimes a song comes from long ago and far away.

And even longer ago and farther away. The great Margaret Whiting

An interesting cover:

While searching for Mel's version, this popped up from Johnny's favorite group:

Really unfortunate that singers like Mel Torme released these "hip" albums. I'm not sure who these versions appealed to.

I kinda like them. There is an album Fred Astaire did of his classics that was arranged by Oscar Peterson that I regard as a gem.

in memory of two of my favorite artists, Steve Albini and Mimi Paker, of Low...both gone now.

One of my favorite Albini-recorded tracks:

Just thumps

Listened to "In Utero" yesterday and today. Whole record thumps harder than everything else Nirvana did. They really re-invented themselves with that one.

Eurovisions finals tomorrow and unfortunately the whole thing has turned into a total cluster**** since Israels participation has made the whole thing all about them and the political stuff and nobody really cares about the actual contest.

So yea - Israel is probably going to win because a lot of zealots who blindly support them no matter what they do, are convinced that if they vote them up, somehow that is regarded as a win and justification for the horror-show Israel is putting on in Gaza.

Disregarding all of that to pretend we live in a better world though, excepting Norway (which I can't vote for anyway), I'm voting Italy this year. First time I heard this song, I woke up the next morning humming it and it's kinda been stuck in my brain ever since:
