We don't need roads |
A 1.21 gigowatts-powered tumblelog brought to you by Kevin Bongart since 1985. I put here the cool stuff I find on the Internet and want to keep as souvenir, post great songs and sometimes I write. I'm half of 0to88 and we created WatchThis, a website that will make you watch good movies. |
Scarlett Johansson - Summertime (1935 / 2006)
Because it’s finally summertime.
Cat Stevens - Here Comes My Baby (1967)
Appeared in Wes Anderson’s Rushmore awesome soundtrack, along with I Am Waiting by The Rolling Stones.
Julian Casablancas - I’ll Try Anything Once (2000)
This demo song eventually became The Strokes’ hit You Only Live Once. You loved it when you watched Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere trailer.
The Box Tops - The Letter (1967)
One of the greatest English Rock songs.
Ungarische Tänze No. 1 (Johannes Brahms: 1869, Bucarest Philharmonic Orchestra: 2000)
Johnny Cash - Sixteen Tons (1946 / 1987)
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don’t you call me ‘cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
John Frusciante - Second Walk (2004)
Only three chords and 1’42” of pure Rock’n’Roll, by former Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante who, in 2004, composed, produced and released six great solo albums while on tour around the world with his other band.
Madeleine Peyroux - I’m All Right (2006)
Ain’t that one of the sweetest songs for waking up?
(also a great album for an introduction to Jazz)
I’ve tweeted about it a few times already but, seriously, I can’t think of any sweetest song for waking up. Or maybe Solal’s cover of Dancing Queen.
Ali Farka Touré & Ry Cooder - Ai Du (1994)
This beautiful song is in the soundtrack of my favorite movie.
