Hi Mental Mist – I love myself a good list, and yes Rage is such an institution… You should definitely have a look at some of those videos…for sure the Beatles and if you can, Nick Cave & PJ Harvey…the chemistry is INCREDIBLE!! (and just makes me love the song even more). I would have posted the videos myself, but didn’t want to overload the site (or readers) with links…and of course the whole copyright issue…

Thanks for spreading your joy in my little blog home!!

Numbers 2, 21 and 27are on my itunes. I have others songs from most of these artists on there too so I would say that this is an exceptional play list.

Hi Jason – Cool! So glad you’d indulge me by watching my selection of music videos…just awesome!! I love finding out what other people would put on their own musical lists, the only trouble I find is that the list may vary on any given day, so if I was to write the list tomorrow, next month or next year, I’d likely end up with quite a few changes (though of course the framework will always hold true).

The Henry Lee video just crackles with intensity. The way you describe the chemistry is spot on – ‘killer’. No wonder there were so many rumours about Nick Cave and PJ Harvey being involved in an affair…I’d think exactly the same thing after watching that video…it almost feels too intimate to be watching it…

Hi Paul – A few of the songs on the list are recent additions to my musical catalogue as well, so it ended up being a whole mix of current loves and old favourites. Johnny Cash’s voice is wonderful in it’s imperfection…and in particular Hurt works effectively well with his singing style….and Radiohead are just oh so cool I feel like I’ve loved them forever. Golden Brown is one of those songs that I completely adore but I can just never eloquently detail why exactly that is…

Hi Shannon – Glad you liked the list. I’m always happy to pass on the very best of birthday wishes (particularly when they are for people close to my own age so that I don’t have to feel completely ancient)…hehe…

Hi Lee – You’re already ‘hip’, just in a different musical way…

The Beastie Boys can always be counted on to be funny…love those guys.

i would totally watch that! it’s gonna take some time to make my own list up, but i promise if i ever get to watch yr list i won’t “music snob” the songs i dont like. the care you took in its creation is obvious, and it sounds like i would find something to like about all of them in one way or another. and you are absolutely right about that “henry lee” video – it is outlandishly sensual. the chemistry between them is killer. killer.
