On my MP3 Player this morning ...NOMAD Jukebox - click for specs. So I'm a little stuck in the late 80s and 90s. Most people's music tastes are apparently set during their post-secondary days. And yes, I do have the CDs for these songs!
  • U2's Silver and Gold - from their Rattle and Hum live album. I brought the DVD recently for my wife. I'm a BIG U2 fan. I love all the songs from that album -- this one especially. The emotions are raw. (Listen to it.)
  • Björk's Violently Happy - this is from the 90s, and it's typical of Björk. Great dance beat. (Listen to it.)
  • Leonard Cohen's I Can't Forget - yes, I like Leonard Cohen. People seem surprise by this. This is one of those songs to listen on a rainy day, and since it was raining on my way back from Oakville, it worked well. (Listen to it.)
  • Neville Brothers singing Leonard Cohen's A Bird on a Wire - another song for a rainy day, and unlike Cohen, the Neville brothers, especially Aaron, are quite lyrical. (Listen to it.)
  • Survivor's Eye of the Tiger - this is a classic, and needs no comments, other than, "Adrian, I love you!" (Listen to it.)

    Civil disobedience is called for

    Image
    In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
