Blue train

Blue train by John Coltrane. If you don't know the song by title, most of you will recognize the opening notes of this song. Here have a listen:

Also on my iPod during this morning's commute into Manhattan:

Cesaria Evora. From her Miss Perfumado album. Whole album is great for dinner parties. Do yourself a favor, at the very least, check it out:

Also in the rotation:

Apparently this song was in the movie Man of Steel which I didn't see. But I remember this song from the movie Singles.

One of my fave lines in that movie? When Andy, (Mr. sensitive ponytail man) says: "There is so much life in you and so much emotional larceny in these others." EMOTIONAL LARCENY?? LOLOL. I need to use that in convo somehow today.

Also I can't decide if I think Chris Cornell is hotter with the long hair or short. But he's got this dirty sexy appeal to me...

And lastly...I've got some hip hop and R&B courtesy of Ms. Lauryn Hill. Love this one because she basically rips former lover and Fugees band mate a new one. You go, girl.

"Consequence is no coincidence... until you do right, all you do will go wrong..."

So there you have it. A really random mix of what's on my iPod.

What are you listening to this morning? If you feel so inclined to share, please do. I like checking out songs/music. 😊

Happy Hump Day, people!

@jase_again you're not old ;). Also that video was pretty awesome. Loved the music too. Thanks for sharing!

[Ms. T]

@mara19500 looks kinda like a painting, right? But just my view from a moving train. Thanks, Mara. :)

@tosee appreciate your comments, Tom!

Love the capture but missed out on any music appreciation genes. I like Country but don't go to the trouble of downloading to an MP3 player.

I was home for most of the day, but for some reason, I hardly ever listen to music inside. The car is a totally different story though.
This caught my ear awhile ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km6LG55roOo

@baznman I like her voice and I especially enjoy the lyrics to the song. I'll have to sit and marinate on that one for a bit as well as the other song Jase linked above.

On a totally random note, sometimes I get totally entertained by comments on YouTube. They're even sometimes better than the certain videos. Like, I love when a video has 56 thumbs down votes and some commenter tries to be clever and says "56 people can go suck a bag o'dicks." Lol. Or someone has to make it sexual, like "OMG I just came in my pants listening to this."

And then there always seems to randomly be someone who says "I'm only 10 but I really like this music." And the dude probs isn't 10 years old as his subsequent comments will reveal.

Hmm. Me thinks maybe I enjoy reading YouTube comments too much lol.
