My latest purchases from iTunes:
- "Give a Little Bit" by The Goo Goo Dolls - Until it was played on an episode of Joan of Arcadia I had forgotten how good this song is. My library also has "Iris" but I can't say I care much other tunes from The Goo Goo Dolls.
- "Song 2" by Blur - The melody and the hook seemed familiar to me when I listened to the sample on iTunes so I put it in my Wish List for a while. Then I succumbed to temptation. It turned out to be an okay tune. Nothing spectacular, but I'm sure it will compliment the right playlist.
- "The Rubberband Man" by The Spinners - Yeah, I gave into commercial exploitation. But I have to admit that I have no idea which office supply store uses this song in it's adverts. I guess that's the real power of the media for you. But it is a great song and I'm surprised that I hadn't added it to my collection well before this.
Probably the next one aquired from the list will be "I Thank You" by Sam & Dave. This is the original to the ZZ Top cover. The latter is zippier and has better orchestration, but sometimes listening to the original better hits the spot. A good example of this is "John the Revelator" by Son House. The cover from the Blues Brothers 2000 soundtrack is awesome, but it's the seminal edition that sticks in my head.
