Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own!

1. Say my name, and his in the same breath,
I Dare you to say they taste the same

2. Hey don't miss out on what your passin
You're missin the hoota of the funky Buddha

3. Try me Try me
Darlin tell me I need you

4. You can feel the pounding wrapped around your chest
Nothing's too excessive when you've got nothing left

5. High Fidelity
Well my name, Zaakir, I’m versatile
And plus I never eat the cow if ain’t Hala'l

6. You're telling me I should forget you, but why
You're talking like I never knew you, but that's a lie

7. Goodbye humans, goodbye earth
I've left this place and all its worth

8. See I reckon you're about an 8 or a 9,
Maybe even 9 and a half in four beers time

9. Girl you don't know what you are to me
You are my baby doll

10. I know all we're doing is travelling without moving, hey hey
I know all we're doing is travelling without moving, can't stop no

11. I'm 'a hit you from the back
I'm not comming to your party

12. Open Your Eyes
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you

13. My love's like an arm chair
It's inclined to recline and sweep you off of your feet

14. Get Your Walk On
I can drink a whole Hennessey fifth
Some call that a problem but I call it a gift

15. Oh when it all, it all falls down
I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down

16. Stacks on deck, Patrone on ice
And we can pop bottles all night

17. Resistance
Is our secret safe tonight
And are we out of sight

18. Never understood how she could,
Mean so little to so many

19. You'll find it hiding in shadows
You'll find it hiding in cupboards

20. Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten
From the Battery to the top of Manhattan

21. Bedshaped
Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of our old town

22. Three little birds, sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry

23. Something inside the cards I know is right
Don't want to live somebody elses life

24. The lips that slip are the lips that press
And the lips that leak seem to know you best

25. Low
You see the world in black and white no colour or light
You think you'll never get it right but you know you might

26. Into the Airwaves
From an empty room on the first floor
As the cars pass by the liqour store

27. Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in
Because it's cold outside, it's cold out side

28. The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage
Sit tight, I'm gonna need you to keep time,
come on just snap snap snap your fingers for me

29. You drew a picture of my morning
But you couldn't make my day, Hey!

Breaking my back just to know your name

音楽(主に洋楽)が大好きな“makimanmama”と申します。
主婦です。結婚してもうすぐ8年で子供が2人います。

名前の由来ですが、高校の頃に誰かが「マキマン」と呼ぶようになってから、ずっと定着してるあだ名です。
mixiもしていますが、ここでのHNも“makiman”です。
しかし！
ここでも同じように登録しようと思ったら、既に登録済みだと･･･。
一応子持ちの母親でもあるって事でmamaを付けた訳です^^;

まだ「last.fm」は登録したばかりだし、齧り程度で何とも言えないですが
なかなか良さそうだなぁと感じております。
ここでは自分の趣向の合う人と出会えたら嬉しいな、と思います。
mixiは音楽繋がりの人はいますが、ほぼプライベートで繋がった人が多いので･･･。

好きなアーティストは色々ありますが、特に好きなのはDeath Cab for Cutieです。
マイライブラリを見ると
「？？Hoobastankじゃん！！」ってなるかと思いますが(笑)
Hoobastankは洋楽を聴く事を再燃させてくれたアーティストなんですよね。
タイプが全く違うのですが･･･
色々聴いてデスキャブに出会えた！って感じですかね？
高校の頃はAce Of BaceやAqua、TLC、Jamiroquaiなど･･･
ダンス系やR&Bが多かったですね。

再燃してからはHoobastankを主に、Linkin Park、Incubusをよく聴いてましたね。
リンキンなんて、今は殆ど聴かなくなりましたけどね^^;
でも、思い出深いアーティストではあります。

デスキャブは今からちょうど1年前。
2nd“We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes ”を聴いたのがきっかけでした。
この衝撃は半端なかったですね。
なので、アルバムの中で2ndが私の中では1番特別です♪
ちょうど好きになった頃に来日もしてくれたので、ライブ参戦する事もできましたし。
今度来た時は絶対全ツしてやる気持ちマンマンです！
それくらい思い入れのあるアーティストは今はデスキャブくらいですね～。

あとはMuse、Travis、Keane、Biffy Clyro、Oasis、Kyte、Mute Math、Weezerなども大好きです。
とにかく色々聴きますね。
中でもピアノエモは自分の中で1番しっくりくる好きな傾向にあります。
ヒップホップ系は苦手です^^;
R&Bはたまに聴きます。
(Ne-YoやAlicia Keysみたいな有名どころしか知らないですけど)
ポストロックやダンス系も好きです。

邦楽は殆ど知らないですが
旦那の影響でSuperflyやコブクロ、あと友達の影響で100sも好きです。

ま、とにかく色々聴きます。笑

まだまだ知らないアーティスト沢山あるので、良いのがあれば是非教えて頂けると嬉しいです♪
宜しくです^^v

"Welcome to the Old School Brand New Heavies!" cries N'Dea Davenport, lead singer of acid jazz band The Brand New Heavies, at the start of what she terms their "welcome home" concert.

Recorded in October 2008 at the Indigo2, Live in London marks the group's first-ever live album. acid jazz fans rejoiced in 2005, when vocalist Davenport rejoined the Brand New Heavies, the British group that scored a series of hits in England beginning in 1990. Best known in the US for the 1991 single "Never Stop," the Brand New Heavies became leaders in the acid jazz and retro soul movements, predating artists such as Jamiroquai, Maxwell, and Jill Scott. Davenport subsequently exited the group in the mid-90s and a series of lead vocalists (including Siedah Garrett) followed to fill the role. After pursuing a solo career, Davenport returned in 2005 to record the album Get Used to It with her former bandmates. They have performed as a core quartet ever since, and their latest album, Live in London, shows that they haven't missed a step since their '90s heyday.

The Brand New Heavies Along with backing musicians, Brand New Heavies core members Simon Bartholomew, Jan Kincaid, and Andrew Levy kick off the show with two instrumentals, setting the stage for Davenport's triumphant entry. Solid versions of "Never Stop" and "All Fired Up" stick closely to the original versions, although the UK hit "Dream on Dreamer" segues into an uptempo cover of "Midnight at the Oasis" that adds a funky twist to the 1970s single. Speaking of the '70s, the wah-wah pedal driven "Ride In The Sky" will make listeners want to check their calendars to ensure that this is really a 2009 album.

They also illustrate their debt to old school soul with a lovely cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why (I Love You)" which draws a direct parallel to their retro sound. Davenport's voice really shines here, as she uses her powerful range to full emotional effect. She also explores her vocals' sensual tone on "Sex God" which also features an irresistible bass line that really rides the song's slinky groove.
