although i have a gig at a place i've never djed before and i'm preparing my set right now...i wanted to share some rare gems with you that aren't necessarily party poppers or poopers...just some nice tunes that remind me why i love music in the first place...
first...a stripped down 80's classic...an acoustic version of 'only the lonely' by the motels
the motels - only the lonely
secondly
a gorgeous different turn for the dave matthews band i believe from the matrix soundtrack or one of those movies called 'when the world ends' remixed by paul oakenfold...a different turn for him as well
dave matthews band - when the world ends (paul oakenfold remix)
third
a deliriously dark acoustic version of 'she bop' by cyndi lauper that totally changes the uptempo slap of the original to a brooding, passionate heartwrench of a ballad from her 'the body acoustic' album released last year...
cyndi lauper - she bop
and last but not least a song that rips my heart out every time i hear it by a relatively unknown artist named kenna...the song is called 'yeneh ababa' and the translation i'm not sure of although i take it it has something to do with a flower growing but most often music transcends language...take a listen
kenna - yeneh ababa (rose)
