Ever had an "Anti-earworm"? A tune you liked a lot, but like rain on a freshly waxed car it wouldn't stick?
I liked this a lot for a while back in the day, but I could never remember it long enough to get the album (it didn't get played that often on the local radio), and now it is too late:
My own 'Earworm' is this track from Johnny Cash, I can't remember where I first heard it but the tune itself has stayed with me.
Tom jones did a passable version also......
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary maths and those who don't
Here's something somewhat newer that stuck with me for a while (although I did like "The Clash" when they were on the radio, so it might not be that new):
Music has always had a strong impact in my life, my peers consider me odd for listening to music from before I was born. I feel doubly strange for being one of a dying breed of hard rock enthusiasts now that the world has gone pop.
Gorillaz is a unique band because it's actually all done by various artists with the monikers of the Gorillaz gang. The video for their "Clint Eastwood" track is a good introduction to them, funny little characters. Their last album "Plastic Beach" was a more melancholy style as evidenced by the "Stylo" song linked above by Iowatech. Rather than giving off multiple videos from that album of recommended tracks, I'll give a short list.
- Rhinestone Eyes
- Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach (Featuring the one and only Snoop Dogg)
- Pirate Jet
- Superfast Jellyfish
- Some Kind of Nature (Featuring the late, great Lou Reed)
To top it all off, one of the songs that launched Gorillaz into the mainstream spotlight.

On a semi-related note, I think this video has a much better rendition of Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down", though I can't place my finger on why...
I realize this is going to be a huge post from inserting two videos, I hope you'll pardon the visual foul. If you liked "Stylo" I would definitely recommend checking out the above linked songs in the list.
Cthulhu for president! Why settle for the lesser evil?
