I just got two new albums that are *awesome* if you're in to break/breakbeat/big beat at all. Heck, even if you only vaguely like electronic music you might want to give them a listen...

"Rogue Rocks: Special Delivery" by Rogue Element (some of the sweetest bass runs I've heard in a track in quite a few months)

and

"Remixes" by the Stanton Warriors (IMHO the best tracks are the remix of Feel Good Inc. and the remix of "We Interrupt This Program" by Coburn)

I don't normally listen to this type of music, but for me it's USS - N/A OK

It's a little too electronic for the rest of my music, but it's actually a pretty catchy song. Playing it on the Edge a lot lately.

KITS (105.3FM) here in the Bay Area has been playing that for some time. Slightly twisted lyrics :) .

For me the last couple of weeks have been spent listening to two songs:

+44 with "When Your Heart Stops Beating" and Angels And Airwaves "Everything's Magic". Guess who I'm going to see in October at Shoreline (Mountain View, CA)? :lol:

I used to travel a lot by TransAero a Russian airline - all over the place.

When you boarded they always had a "TransAero" tune playing in the cabin.

Having heard it literally hundreds of times over many years... it kinda stuck. Not permanently I hope!

I agree with you Ray.

Foster The People
Pumped Up Kicks

Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.
I've waited for a long time.

Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

[Whistling]

[Chorus x3:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

I don't like the song and don't care for the artist, but it's stuck in my head nonetheless. :(

I love the sound of the viola (or perhaps violin) in this song :)

This song is in my head.

EDIT:

I called it a woodwind earlier. My mind is a little fuzzy now from late night study sessions the last couple of days >.<

Been humming this at work while making up my own words as usual because I dont know the lyrics :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKoKpYsTz9c

It's a live performance of Anita Baker singing "Sweet Love".
It's funny, because I never really paid much interest to the song when it was first released, but it's starting to grow on me.

Listened to the new David Bowie album which is very good, but not getting stuck in my head just yet!

As I read each song you guys listed, the lyrics would be in my head if I knew them.

But this particular song has been in my head a lot lately:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6KXgjLqSTg

Land of Confusion by Disturbed.

Way better than the original Genesis version in my opinion.

"What tune is currently stuck in your head?"

Stuck in my head? Karma Chameleon by Culture Club, but I wont torture anyone by posting a link. :twisted: But I cannot get this song out of my head. :roll:

Kind of funny considering my usual taste in music is something far heavier and darker than bubbly cheerful Boy George. But what can I say? I'm an 80's music whore. :lol:

I've recently seen (a couple of times) the 1996 movie "Grace of my Heart" starring Illeana Douglas. The movie is a loose parallel of Carol King's music career. Really enjoyed the movie. One song from the movie is stuck in my head "God Give Me Strength"...

I've always been an ELO fan. "Getting to the Point" was one of their best, recorded after they had to stop for a while because of ridiculous 'secret message' allegations. Look it up on Google.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJHpJKMTDQA

Also, their song "Can't get it out of my head", which rather fits the title of this thread. 8) 8)

Totally family friendly, non-trendy music for you guys to peek into:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2eEkQYXVwU

After listening to the whole first disk of "The Princess", this song kinda plays back in my head when I'm just at my computer, or cruising in the car.

Word of warning-don't listen to the first disk of this album when on a road trip, driving, at night. There will be a massive accident.
Trying my hardest to collect Thinkpads, but college and being broke kinda gets in the way. However...
