Who is my favorite female singer? Hope Sandoval. No contest

She has a voice like no one before or since. It is engaging and hits you right between the eyes - in the feels. Seriously, I defy anyone to listen to this and not go weak at the knees.

Classics: I'll Be Gone


Original video located here. Accessed 10th June 2014

Song title: I'll Be Gone

Artist: Spectrum

Year: 1971

Why I like this song:

19670s Hippy/Progressive rock Australia style

One for all the drifters and losers in life, on the path to nowhere but somehow finding enjoyment in it/

Spectrum have an odd place in Australian rock history: On one hand they had a long and productive career but on the other, they had this one hit and were subsequently reduced to One Hit Wonder status. Still if their career was boiled down to this one hit then it's one to be proud of.

The Asian Connection: Kiri


Original video located here. Accessed 3rd October 2014

Song title: Kiri

Artist: Monoral

Year: 2006

Why I like this song:

Haven't seen much of Ergo Proxy but boy did it have a killer opening. It rocks hard and I swear that singer is a dead ringer for Iva Davies of Icehouse.
