LS Rules

The 3rd KYI show just happened. It was acceptable. The tally so far - 1 mediocre, 1 great and one acceptable. Maybe I need lower standards.

Thank you for your patronage.

From 5SF100:

Warning - Notorious BIG

Sky Might Fall - Kid Cudi

Lost in the World - Kanye West w Bon Iver

I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt

All I Do - Stevie Wonder

If you're familiar, enjoy. If you're not, enjoy. It's Jamiroquai!! I think I saw them in concert, but I don't remember. Don't hold that against them.

Mike's songs from 5SF91 were:

No Ordinary Love - Deftones

A Mi Manera - Gipsy Kings

Stairway to Heaven - Rodrigo y Gabriela

Money - Gary Nesta Pine and Dollarman (off Easy Star All Stars)

Lucy in the Sky - Ramon Veloz (off Here Comes El Son)

This is for the winner in you.

The songs from 5SF84:

Her Ghost - Jon Brion

Later Monday - Jon Brion

Fast As You Can - Fiona Apple

Nothing is Good Enough - Aimee Mann

Roses - Kanye West

Jon Brion creates audio that synchs with my preferred sonic sensibilities. Elliott Smith, Kanye, Fiona Apple, Boogie Nights, Magnolia and on and on. Musically, I like this guy a lot.

From 5SF82:

WTF (Where They From) - Missy Elliott w/ Pharrell

Hot Boyz (Remix) - Missy, Nas, Eve, Lil Mo, Q-Tip

Beastin (MCA), Time 4 Sum Aksion, Tonight's Da Night - Redman

Chicks dig me (about as much as I rule anything). Enjoy some of my favorite songs by female artists!

The Disney songs from 5SF77 were:

When You Wish Upon A Star - Pinocchio

I Wanna Be Like You - The Jungle Book

Someone's Waiting For You - The Rescuers

Winnie the Pooh - duh

You Can Fly! You Can Fly! - Peter Pan

Ain't no Lion King here. Definitely nothing done on a computer. Growing up, we had these 45s of Disney stories. Those stories came with songs. These are some of those songs.

5SF76 shifted:

Big Brown Eyes - Benny Sings

Allie Jones - Mayer Hawthorne

Number One - Tuxedo

Are We Cuttin - Pastor Troy f Ms Jade, Timbaland

Never Scared - Bonecrusher f TI, Killer Mike

It seems like there's only solo artists in R&B these days. Guess girl groups aren't cost effective. Oh well. Let's go back to the 90s again and spend some time with the ladies of 90s R&B. (see 5SF41 for all Mary J Blige)

The magical songs from 5SF62 were:

Supermagic - Mos Def/Yasiin Bey

Three is a Magic Number - Blind Melon

Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul & Mary

If It's Magic - Stevie Wonder

Miracles - Jefferson Starship

Do you believe in magic? How about extrasensory abilities? Miracles? Angels? These 5 songs revolve around the magical parts.

The Jodeci songs from 5SF61 were: Forever My Lady, Feenin, Life (K-Ci and JoJo), Love U 4 Life and Every Moment.

So many good songs. It wasn't easy to choose 5. K-Ci, JoJo, Devante and Dalvin are Jodeci.

I hate when I think of better songs I should have used in theme episodes. 5SF60 had good songs, but there were others that better convey my feelings. Here's what I went with:

Jonz In My Bonz - D'Angelo

Hate On Me - Jill Scott

Energy - Drake

Clap Again - Akon

Up Up and Away - Kid Cudi
