now is the start

fast car

  lately my friends and i have re-ignited our passion for this sweet 90's hit; this cover came up during one of our highly obnoxious jam sessions and i must admit that this version is a great take on the classic.

pretty little tunes vol.34

in honor of michael jackon's 54th birthday this past week (may he rest in peace), i've compiled a few of my favorites that were kept slightly under the radar in comparison to say.. thriller. for those of you who didnt know, i'm a die-hard michael jackson-loving fan. i'm talking dedicated my screen name (on aim!) and e-mail addresses when i was younger to the king of pop, no shame... none at all. i still believe that his talent and skill were unsurmountable, and that he was a musical genius.. take a listen:

1. "baby be mine"
2. "liberian girl"
3. "who is it"
4. "dirty diana"
5. "another part of me"
6. "in the closet"
7. "whatever happens"
8. "give in to me"
9. "stranger in moscow"
10. "speechless"

you will find me
