Sting.
Sting.
Say it with me...... STiiiiiiiiiiNG.
((shiver))
Just the name is the very definition of
COOL! What can I possibly say about Sting that would even come close
to describing his incredible musical genius? Pretty much nothing,
so all I'll say is, bass player, singer, songwriter, brilliance
epitomized. I couldn't even begin to pick a favourite Sting song,
but have I mentioned that I LOVE Sting? (and The Police too... let's
not forget them). I was lucky
enough to attend the Sting-Annie Lennox concert in Vancouver in Oct.
'04.... All I'm gonna say is WOW WOW WOWIE WOW WOW... The man is a
god!... And Annie Lennox ROCKED!! (the pic to the left is from that
concert at GM Place) |
John
Mayer
I have to say that I
didn't really like him when his first album "Room For Squares" came
out, but since then he has grown on me in a big way, particularly since
the second album, "Heavier Things". In some way I haven't figured
out yet, he reminds me of Sting in as far as the song writing goes,
though perhaps a little bluesier. Primo stuff. |
David Bowie
The Thin White Duke is STILL great after... what... a hundred
years? It seems he has been around forever, but when I saw him in
Vancouver 2004, he was FABOO! You'd never guess he's older than my
folks. My Dad would be in traction for months doing the stuff Bowie still pulls
off. My faves are still "Fame", "Ashes to Ashes" and "I'm Afraid of
Americans". |
Measha
Brueggergosman
A good little Canadian girl,
Measha has pipes to spare, and whether she knows it or not, is an
honourary member of the "House of Mirth" and a DKCHIVA. She
ROCKS.... well ok not rocks, since she sings opera, but she's
awesome! |
SecretGarden
Consisting of Fionnula Sherry from Ireland
and Rolf Lovland from Norway, Secret Garden is Celtic &
Scandinavian music, mashed into one lovely, haunting and relaxing blend. I
love this stuff for reading, taking a hot bath, or just plain
lounging about.... |
