Freelovebabies - Down The Road 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "Nothing looks as good as my love walking back to me" I'm really no different than anyone else and I really want to hate bands that have cutesy names. I tried my best to hate these guys, but they caught me in their joyous blast of fresh air. Complete with tasty tambourine man beats. Hidden in the message is a bit of anger about the war taking the ones we love away for awhile. "Let them send you back a hero/medals on your box. . .I'd love to see my love just walking down the road". Shoutout to Sky Blue Feeling! Freelovebabieshttp://www.eartaste.com
Mumm-Ra - Out Of The Question 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A quick run, then WHAM!!! BIG CHORD intro to pop heaven with "Light out of the Darkness" I defy my lazy Monday desire to stay in bed and jump up hopping around the room in pure glee!!! "If you believe me, look in my eyes!" Definite sugar trance created even before I pour the instant maple oatmeal into the bowl. "I'll try to explain!" I may not even need coffee today. "This is the only thing I know" Mumm-Rahttp://www.eartaste.com Read more:Question
7K - Suburban Desperado 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Slow build to a power rock chord progression. "Sold the dream for safety/Couldn't quench the fire" The character apparently took a job and settled in suburbia instead of following his dreams. Cool guitar echoing "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" theme. "Five in the cylinder/one in the barrel/about to spatter all the knick knacks and apparel" Violent you say? About as violent as those jalapeño poppers with melted jack cheese mixed with Tecate in my stomach right now. My bet is the character, Jimmy, couldn't live his fantasies as a young man, so chances are pretty high he can't do it as a middle-aged guy either. He'll apologize to his wife for digging the gun out of the closet & be back at work tomorrow. Oh, I know once in awhile there's a guy like Jimmy goes through with it. But most of them don't, because - I believe the writer is implying that we're all Jimmy's at heart. Good beat! 7Khttp://www.eartaste.com Read more:Suburban
Boy Kill Boy - Suzie 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "This is not a movie/Things just ain't the same as your favorite video" Some people need to be told this truth as the guitars clash out a rhythm to keep the dance floor bouncing. Good jalapeño popper song - swallow it down with some good old fashioned Tecate. And in case you're wondering about the band name, they throw in this line: "There's an evil lurking round every door" Yes, and spin me around and around! Boy Kill Boyhttp://www.eartaste.com
Simon Webbe - That's The Way It Goes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "Some days I don't know how I got here/It's been a journey through the dark" The ice around here is ½" thick and they have closed the schools east of here and all the roads west of here. The post office is open, but there's no mail because of the closed roads. At least here we have electricity and most of the day I've been able to access the web. "I've lived to fight another day" Tea. Warm tea, all day. I've been drinking an orange/tangerine peel blend. And this beautiful song feels like all of that put together, so it's perfect for today. "It's like a book without an ending/It's like a story never told/It's like a night when you're on fire/Why does the morning feel so cold?" A slow dance - just enough to keep warm. "Play on, play on. . " SimonWebbe

Steve Vaclavik - Wet Dog (Someone To Care) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A guy and his guitar with someone's neglected dog standing in the rain. What better to taste on a wet and windy Texas Saturday? "I come to the dog and I let him off his chain/it licks my hand and dances in the rain/it turns, it twirls, it jumps in the air/he doesn't mind the rain now that someone seems to care" Pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs with cheese on top. Side of melon and warm buttered toast. That's how Steve
makes me feel, and what a pleasant experience it is. Shoutouts for Nothin' Like & The Moon Must Be Empty. Steve Vaclavikhttp://www.eartaste.com
Julie Feeney - You Bring Me Down 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "I don't know who I want and I don't know what I need/I'm in a situation you know I can't read". The percussion is driving us to this point and is causing just the right amount of tension to make this wonderful Polenta Pasticciato flavored mostly by voice thoroughly danceable. "I know I'm listening but I'm nothing I hear. . .I'm engaging in your raging but I'm keeping my cool" Huge shoutout to Autopilot with it's many indescribable flavors to treat my palate. Julie

Phantasm - Disasteroid 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The guitar sneaks in slowly swirling kinda making me wonder if the sauce will enhance the flavor of the noodles or overwhelm it. Good news! The enhancement wins on this Linguini Aglio. As the drums come in the guitar takes off into virgin olive oil heaven with the strums leading the singer to "Rise Up!" The rhythms do not stay in one place, which makes for a lot of ear flavors - some red peppers with the garlic. "Money talks, but you won't hear it talking to me" And as soon as we hear "let it talk" we enter a new palate thrill. Massive shoutout for Two Left Feet - "Come dance with me tonight!" & "Hey Star" - a fun, fun slice of life that doubles as danceable humor. Tasty! Phantasmhttp://www.eartaste.com
Keith Kehrer - Sweety Cakes 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Instrumental visit into other worlds eating foods and desserts from other planets which are called, aptly, sweety cakes. Midi percussion, with some cool keyboard flavors. Sweet dance with sweety kiss icing on top. No deep adventure here, simply a nice trip around some local orbs. Keith

Keith Urban - Your Company 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The bass introduces us to white soul supreme dairy queen delite. "If I could be anywhere with anyone, you know exactly where I'd be" No surprises lyrically, but the soul flavors make this a slice of fresh homemade pecan pie I want to hear over and over. "Under the covers waiting for the sun to rise/Your head on the pillow next to me" Hot players allowed to stretch make this warm pie go down smooth. Yum! KeithUrban

Jim Noir - I Me You I'm Your 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "I'm confused/I've got words I'd like to use/but they've all been used before/so I'm going to use them all" Go ahead. You use your words while I swirl around my living room to your very cool tune and beach surf flavor of cotton candy at the boardwalk. I'm there with you, Jim. Thanks for the flavors! Jim Noirhttp://www.eartaste.com
Cass Fox - Save Me 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "As I sat all alone Saturday night/how I loved when I said I was out/I was sitting at home doing nothing/I don't know why" This is one of those take the Vanilla Bean Dryers out of the freezer and eat the whole box songs. With such a beautiful melody, it allows my body to sway as I eat spoonful after spoonful. "So I thought to myself what can I do?/Have a smoke, take a walk, think of you?/Read a book, watch an old movie or two?/But it's no fun without you" Amazing flavors. Cass Foxhttp://www.eartaste.com
Dionne Warwick & Celia Cruz - Do You Know The Way To San Jose / El Camino A San Jose 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Antojitas empañadas muy picante! Okay, this flavorful entry is an old tune, however it is included on the brand new album called My Friends & Me, so I feel great aural pleasures in revisiting this tune. This one can play over and over and keep my feet moving on the dance floor. Imagine some good guacamole with just a slight taste of habeñero. Yummy flavors. If you're working on an eartaste budget, I'd suggest skipping the new album & picking up the CD by Celia
Cruz. Heck, pick up a dozen cds by Celia if you like to dance! Warwick

Matt Willis - Luxury 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "All I need is some luxury/yes, she looks a lot like you" Good old fashioned pop-rock with na-na-na's all over the place. Good feeling melody, with teen-angst bitter chocolate to add flavor. "I'm angry/They tell me" Obviously the narrator isn't convinced, heck he's having a great time, but he's aware that others feel he's "gotta social disease" Great fun, lotsa noise & energy. Shoutout goes to "From Myself Baby", which is the exact opposite flavor - guitar, tambourine type percussion & voice with a touch of violin synth softness - light creamy caramel wrapped with a thin layer of semi-sweet chocolate.

Plain White Ts - Figure It Out 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Keep the party at a high level today with this one. Philosophy all the way! "She says, I don't take her seriously/And I don't, so I guess I'd have to agree" Well, honesty is fun. "I didn't mean that/I really mean that". Typical male commitment. Time for a big juicy Texan Bacon Burger. The dancing is great, and this line is a perfect pop poetry line speaking of figuring out women: "I'll figure it out soon as I figure it out" Maybe a few beers later. Maybe not. This line is from shoutout cut, Friends Don't Let Friends Dial Drunk : "But I think you're impossible/I hope you prove me wrong" Love is grand on hump-day! "You only call me after you've had a few/You only want to hang out when you've got nothing to do" PlainWhite

Arrested Development - Down & Dirty 1970-01-01 00:59:59 "I said clap your hands and stomp your feet/Get down and dirty to this AD beat" Perfect start for my hump day party! I can't help but get up and move to this tasty number. Plus, I like this little modern flavored tease: "If you want it now download the file" This table is laid out with every sort of appetizer imaginable - I especially like the little cheese puffy things. "Come on and just skip to the beat/Everybody just move your feet/Get on down to the funky beat" The very good news is the shoutout for another cut, How Far Is Heaven, which keeps the dance groove by AD going just a little longer with deeper sensations lyrically. "I'm a M.C. battling with melody envy/Cuz melodies the only thing that seems to sooth me" These two will always be played together on my radio. Arrested Development
