Thanks for sharing; that is a great selection - some terrific songs and outstanding artists. (I'm a fan of Irish traditional music - an modern Irish traditional music - myself). Do enjoy.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California

Overplayed in it's time, but such an awesome song(and band). Happy Friday people.
 
Heard this last night as part of our local classical station's Halloween-themed lineup:


This piece is odd for many reasons. Some think it may not have even been written by Bach. But it is timeless and its appeal goes beyond simply being "haunted house music".

That is a brilliant epicene of music; if that style of music takes your fancy, I'd recommend that you make the time to listen to the Toccata by Widor, as well.
 
Dexy's Midnight Runners: "This Is What She Is Like", "Come On Eileen", "Geno", "The Celtic Soul Brothers", "Until I Believe In My Soul", "Three There My Dear", and the awesome "The Teams That Meet In Caffs".

And I have graduated to David Bowie: "Ashes to Ashes", "Heroes", "Let's Dance", "China Girl", "Modern Love", "Space Oddity", "The Man Who Sold The World", "Life On Mars?", "Rebel, Rebel", and "Wild Is The Wind", (among others).

I’m finishing up my coffee and heading to work....and listening to the disgusting sounds of Lulu lick her paws or the back of my head. :( It’s her morning routine. Sigh.
