| My cravings for music vary according to mood, weather, landscape, what I’m doing, what I’m thinking/dreaming of, whether it’s danceable, belly-danceable, etc. These days, I seem to go for a particular, soulful kind of voice, like those of Eva Cassidy (such beautiful songs, too), Michael Bolton, Patrick Bruel, Norah Jones or Dulce Pontes, among others. |

Hi Conchita,
Listening to that Nelly Furtado album again it occurred to me that there is one song in Portoguese called No Hay Igual (ha, I hope it is Portoguese and not Spanish ). Anyway, do you understand the lyrics of that song? Please take a look here:
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
(What it is?) Ven y mira lo! Venga y acaba con mi dolor Loco para ti por favor, y ya conozco tu olor
(What it is?) Mucho gusto se?or Cuando estoy contigo siento tanto calor. Me pongo loco con tu amor Y ya entiendo tu valor
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
el hambre que tengo tienes que matar mi copa otro d?a tienes que llenar Dime que nunca me vas dejar (What it is?) Pero no demoras. Cada d?a mi cuerpo llora cuantas cosas quiero, a ese se?or quiero que yo quiero, yo lo quiero ahora
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
Me levantas cuando cantas a mi nombre (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Me levantas cuando cantas a mi nombre (oh-oh-ohhhh) Ay que lindo, es mi chico, tengo listo (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Ay que ni?o, necesito, tu sonido (ah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh)
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
Quiero tu solo no es lo mismo por eso espero huele mi cuerpo t? me encantas, el tiempo pasa no quiero otro no hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual
No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No hay igual (Que hacemos?) No-No-No-No No hay igual _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Sorry, Torsten, wrong guess! Those lyrics are in Spanish, though not the best one, be it said in passing. |

Hi Conchita, that's kind of interesting since Nelly Furtado has a Portugese background rather than a Spanish one... _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

I brought over 200 cd's with me to China in fact I always travel with my music. Since Portuguese was brought up I will put in my two cents. There is no finer female vocalist than Alcione. An incredible range, a voice that is filled with saldage, hope I spelled that right.
I agree, that the mood influences the choice. It might be Nick Lowe, Squeeze, Jethro Tull, James Brown, Garbage, Mozart. Oh, it's just so hard to have a favorite.
The last few cd's? Collective Soul, Ace of Base, Forro: Music for Maids and taxi drivers, Gail Costas: My name is Gal, Bowie, Costello, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Hello everyone,
I've recently bought the current Red Hot Chili Peppers album "Stadium Arcadium" -- these guys are obviously very productive as Stadium Arcadium doesn't consist of just one CD but two each containing 14 songs! I must admit I don't like all of them but there are some that are absolutely terrific such as "Especially In Michigan". Anyone every heard that song? Here is a bit of background on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especially_in_Michigan _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Am just listening to 'Say it again' by Natasha Bedingfield. Pretty good song, isn't it? By the way, although we have discussed this question several times before and especially Jamie provided a lot of useful information I'm still amazed at the fact that the UK remains the nation number one when it comes to producing pop music. Seems like there is a little of a pop star in every British person . _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Unlike the Germans they work 7 days a week and yesterday I bought a couple of music CD's at a fraction of the German market price. Sony Music might not be too happy about the fact that their CD's are copied and sold publicly but here I am -- listening to the Bon Jovi's latest album Have a Nice Day. |
Torsten, some of those CDs are pirated, but some of them are so cheap because they are legitimately licensed to local companies so that they can be produced at a lower price that is appropriate to the local economy. Anyway, if you bought the pirated ones, you're not only cheating the Sony Music, but you're also cheating the artist out of his or her royalties. John Bongiovi may not miss the money, but some newer artists don't make as much money as "stars" used to because of the types of contracts the record companies give them.
Anyway, those Vietnamese used to be the only people in that country who provided what Westerners would actually call customer service. If ordinary Czech retailers didn't have what you needed, they would just say, "We don't have it. Come back on Monday and see if it comes in." There was no attempt to order it. The Vietnamese would say, "What size do you need? I'll have it for you tomorrow." Just like Americans. |

I'm listening to the Three Tenors sing Nessun Dorma by Puccini. This is a nice tune.
It's the song played toward the end of the film "The Sum Of All Fears"... when the bad guys are shown being killed. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

Hi everyone,
It just occurred to me that in addition to listening to music we now can also listen to our own voices. All you need to do is read How to record voice messages on the forum?
Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Torsten _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

This is the latest hit of one of the most popular German rock bands:
You might need to listen to it a couple of times until you recognize how great it actually is! _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |

Loved the skeletons. I don't think the lyrics matters to me because I also don't get them when I'm listening to this type of song in my mother tongue.
At the moment here's what I'm listening to:
