Nellie McKay - David

Nellie McKay is an English-born American singer-songwriter. The reason I know about her is because one day I saw this comment a guy left on Jason Marz's song Lucky on youtube. That comment were accusing Jason Mraz for ripping off Nellie's song David, which is the song I am sharing today, for his song Lucky. I have to say I am a HUGE fan of Jason and I simply could not believe that he would steal things from others so I tend to think whole thing is just a coincident, however, I also could not deny that I do think both songs share lots of similarities. I am going to post both songs, and you can tell me if you think this is more like a coincident or a rip-off.

By the way, i really like the doctor who music video,LOL

Adam Lambert - Whataya Want From Me

Adam Lambert, an runner up of the 8th-season of American idol, the first openly gay American mainstream pop singer and the first guy who gives a gay kiss on the stage at a major American music award show. I finally have a chance to finish the whole album recently and I like it a lot. Honestly I don't listen to this kind of Rock n Roll music a lot but this guy really amazes me. The only song that I have heard before I listen to the whole album is For Your Entertainment, which sounds just like an other mass-produced pop songs, Therefore I didn't really have much expectation in the album. However, after listening to the whole album, Although the arrangements of the songs are somewhat generic, I found his voice so enchanting that makes me play those songs again and again. There is so much power in his voice and I just love it. I would love to see how long this power would last since most of the singers can only keep this kind of power in their first album, I will wait and see, Adam

The Hoosiers

I believe people from the UK will be more familiar to this band. Hoosiers is a band from UK and Sewden and consists of the Vocalist Irwin Sparkes and Guitarist Martin Skarendahl and Alphonso Alan Sharland who plays the drum. The thing that impresses me the most in their music is Irwin Sparkes's vocal, crazy but powerful. It really bothers me when singers, especially rock band singers, try to reach the high notes with their crackly voice (well, what Tom Wait does is an other story). Lots of the sings in their album "the trick to life" have very high notes and when Sparkes sang it, he sang it shape.

Here's the sing I love the most in their album, "Killer"

Dickson's music Channel

I always have a feeling that Sunday should be quiet and artistic.

I usually don't like talk about music is not only because I think I am not knowledgeable enough to talk about it but also I am a very outdated person in terms of meeting new music and very bad at keeping up the music trend. I always notice famous songs that after they got very popular for a long period of time.

I like most kind of music as long as its not too creepy (oh, I've listened to some weird voodoo witch music, its just terrifying!). I love Pop, Jazz, Hip hop, classical, Rnb, Trip hop, Techno, house, Dance...etc I am just not a big fun of metal stuff (but I love Dragon Force!).

But anyway, I still think it will be great to share the music that I like in this blog. I will try introducing one song and artist one at a time. They might be one that you are or ain’t familiar with. I would also like to explore different kinds of new music with you guys too. you guys are welcome to show me music that you like! send me songs by email and I will listen to it and talk about it here.

Lets swimming in the sea of music together!

Well, the first one, I decided to introduce the one I really like, I am sure most of the people are no stranger to his name, he is definitely one of the most talented singer out there, he name is Rufus Wainwright.

Rufus Wainwright is an openly gay singer-song writer, son of the singer-song writer Loudon Wainwright III and was born in New York then lived to Montreal, Canada for most of this childhood with his mother. His sister is Martha Wainwright, a singer-song writer as well. He started his music career in Canada then US. However, his music receives much better critics and review in European countries then in US, which I personally think its strongly due to his music style, which is heavily influenced by classical, opera, folk and new age music. The song “Going to a Town”, in this latest album “Release the stars”, expressed exactly how he is tired of America culture.

However, Instead of “Going to Town”, the song I want to introduce today is “Memphis Skyline”, in his fourth album want two, not only because the song itself is so heavenly beautiful and emotionally moving, but it also has a sorrowful story behind it. The song was written to pay tribute to Jeff Buckley, who Rufus envied with because of Jeff’s popularity when Rufus met him. However, later on he regretted it and felt sad about didn’t have a chance to sing with him before Jeff drowned himself into death in the Mississippi River near Memphis. Therefore he named the song “Memphis Skyline”.

He've never lost a key in his live performance .
