I'm from Barcelona - The Painter: 6

It would be hard to make a more typical mid-00's indie song even if you tried and that's both a flaw and a virtue here.

I seem to be getting into Tom Petty finally. Or maybe I should give Wildflowers another go. Whatever the case, this is another appealing tune done with feeling.

Alain Souchon - C'est déjà ça: 7
His singing veers dangerously close to schmaltz, but the song ends up a more pleasantly moody affair.

Ice Cube – My Summer Vacation: 6
Not completely my thing, but I can't help but be a little impressed with how hard this goes.

Oh and we are already in the second day of August. I'll make a new topic tomorrow.

This album is very solid, but also lyrically quite misogynistic.

Great cover from those who bring you Heart.
I remember it from the Singles movie soundtrack, but I think this live version takes the cake. The dual singing is really quite fantastic. Thanks, Rob for sharing this.

931. Bruno Mars - Treasure - 3
Wow. I really shows how much out of touch I am with recent pop music. My 14 yo daughter popped her head out of the kitchen when she heard this playing and I had to justify myself as to why I was listening to Bruno Mars.
Musically, this is poor. Funky bass over a Michael Jackson soundalike who goes back to the seventies.

932. I’m from Barcelona – The Painter - 5
Actually they're from Sweden. And have about 30 members in the band (sounds Polyphonic Spree to me). Singalong lyrics, a bit silly, some handclapping and we're all carried away by Swedes in robes. I wish there was a Midsomar twist, but I didn't find one.

933. Tom Petty – Crawling Back to You - 6.
Funny thing that I listened to Wildflowers for the first time last week, it went instantly in my top 1000 album list. This piano-driven slow rocker is perhaps a bit less immediate than the rest of the album, but it is nonetheless a decent piece of music, especially on the chorus.

934. Alain Souchon - C'est déjà ça - 5.5
Souchon is a figurehead of French pop songs and has been going for as long as I can remember. This is a modern song, filled with big beats and strewn with middle-eastern guitars. Lyrically, he is singing about the civil war in Sudan, seen from the eyes of a refugee in Paris..."dreaming, that's already that" (meaning, it's a start)

935. Ice Cube – My Summer Vacation - 6.5
In the gangsta rap battle from the 1990s, I always favored Ice Cube over Ice T. His songs were more P-Funk based, aggremented with heavier beats. His delivery was smoother than Ice T and I quite like his voice. I go against the grain when I compare his albums, this is supposedly coming from his most acclaimed album, but I'm partial to Lethal Injection. The ending of this song is as valid today that it was back at the start of the 90s. My, how the world has NOT changed.

The version from Singles is this very live recording, which is also their only recording of this song.
