The City by Joe Purdy (Grey’s Anatomy Soundtrack).

Have you ever heard of Joe Purdy? I hadn’t up until the point of listening to Grey’s Anatomy Soundtrack. There is a song called “The City”… Awesome!
Here are the lyrics of the song
The City – Joe Purdy
The city keeps on going… on
Float down the river with Matt, Iddy and Jay
Get off the boat and board a plane to JFK and I, ain’t slept a week
But it don’t seem to matter to the subway squeakers, squeak (and squeak)
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling
The city keeps on going
We just keep on rolling… on
Grand Central Station and got wind they’re coming on
And the goodness yesterday
No one round oh and I still recognize her after all these years and she still looks the same
Ah, she still looks the same
Oh and we end up in Brooklyn
It was rainin’ so hard
Come up all day
And the rain to clear it off,
Oh we’re just people watching on 3rd and St. Mormons
And when the girl’s kissing my face, my face
She was just kissing my face
And again, again…
Just when I was sick and lonely,
There was a shaking on the ground
We were hiding from the rain
We were riding on the train
Just when I was sick and lonely,
There was a shaking on the ground
Were were hiding from the rain
Were were riding on the train
She was dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
She was dancing on the midway
Just kissing my face
Dancing on the midway
Kissing my face
Dancing on the midway
Just waving goodbye

DJ Format – Ugly Brothers
By Mike. Posted in Last.FM, Music, videos | No Comments » | 324 views
It is strange how music comes into your life. We were sitting on a bus driving down a steep mountain pass somewhere between Courchevel 1850 and Courchevel 1650 when we heard this song called “Ugly Brothers” by DJ Format.
I won’t lie when I say I don’t like hip hop or rap music. I could probably count the number of songs on my one hand that I like. But this particular song one is really catchy and funny and the lyrics are quite clever.(I couldn’t find the lyrics anywhere on the web).
UK Hip Hop give it a good review.
Here is a clever music video for the song by Barmie over at MySpace.

I discovered Stroke 9 at Last.FM.
By Mike. Posted in Bowen News, Digital Life, Last.FM, Music | No Comments » | 246 views
Thanks again to Last.FM I have just discovered a brilliant band called Stroke 9.
Stroke 9 formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1989. The band has since recorded five albums and toured extensively in the United States, Canada and Europe. Fueled by the commercial success of the hit song “Little Black Backpack,” their third album, “Nasty Little Thoughts,” went gold in 2000. The single “Kick Some Ass” from their fourth album “Rip It Off” was featured in the movie “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
I’ve been listening to the album “Rip it off”… bloody awesome!
