Since I’m in the mood for sharing some of my music tastes here’s one more that is quite a bit different from Filter. Cowboy Junkies cover of Sweet Jane. Another song I have heard on tv and movies.

Filter – Hey Man, Nice Shot

Well, since I could not post a video of Stabbing Westward I chose another one of my favorite songs from a few years back. It is used in a lot of tv and movie scenes. Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter.
Enjoy!

I was randomly checking out YouTube for music videos and I came across one of my favorites songs from a few years ago. Stabbing Westward – Save Yourself.

Update:
All the videos have embedding disabled due to content from Sony BMG.

I recently purchased a 32 GB iPod Touch at my local Apple Store. I have been trying out a lot of apps from the iTunes App Store, mostly free ones. I will review/comment on them soon.

So far I think its great.

A list of other Apple stuff I own can be found on the Computers sub-page from the About tab.

Best lip sync music video

Awhile ago after reading various blogs, I came across the below video on Vimeo. This is one of the best lip sync music videos around. It looks very professional. Timing and syncing are great. Enjoy!

Favorite songs

Harrison — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 08:46:23 +0000

I thought about doing a favorites page with some polls asking others favorites or opinions, but not now. I will just stick to single posts or adding to the About page for this little read blog.

Starting with my all-time favorite songs and groups.
Black Sabbath
Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin

These groups were local rock radio’s most popular when I was growing up in the late 70′s as a young teenager, at least in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Individual stand out favorites would be Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix, Iron Man by Black Sabbath, Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin. It is very difficult to pick only one or even two or three favorite songs. I rarely only listen to one song from these groups at a time. Two or three songs back-to-back works best in order to fully enjoy the experience.

Purple Haze

I found a classic video of one of my favorite all-time songs. Purple Haze, recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967.
