David Bowie's 'The Jean Genie'. Trevor Bolder's bass line is too good for words.

That is a great song. Bowie's Diamond Dogs always gets to me.

Beck's Golden Age is so fucking beautiful. I plan to use it in the movie I wil write one of these days.

I got two songs in my head, The Haunted - Smut King & David Bowie - Life on Mars? And now I just downloaded Mastodons cover of Orion by Metallica, so I'm sure I'll be humming that one soon enough.

Hmm... I guess "right now" is relative.

I've always got a few.

Right now it's Dispatch's Past The Falls(for relaxing), Built To Spill's Going Against Your Mind(for biking), and TV On The Radio's Wear You Out(for...intimacy, I suppose).

Rising Empire, by Immediate Music. Recently used in the trailers for X3 and Zwartboek. It gives whatever you're doing a sense of intense urgency and epicness, which is great for productivity.

"Premiscuos Girl." Not a joke. Not my type of music. But nevertheless it's stuck in my head.

"Avenging Angels" by Space. The whole Cole Porter-esque middle eight section makes me grin.

I know it's cliche, but I've got "Under Pressure" in my head after watching the Studio 60 pilot. Any song that makes you smile despite hearing it hundreds of times in hundreds of places has to be one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded.

The Foggy Dew, by the Young Dubliners. There's a fiddle section in the middle of the song that'll knock your socks off. Even my friend who's Indian and hates virtually 90% of my music tastes was blown away by this song.

Under Pressure is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. It doesn't get enough respect as such, but it is definitely on the list.

The two songs I can't get out of my head right now are White Line Fever by Motorhead and Quicksand by David Bowie. Motorhead I've only recently discovered. I just never paid attention to them and that's been my loss. The Bowie song is my favorite song by my favorite artist, so it's always sort of tumbling around in my brain.

Speaking of Queen, I've been listening to them a lot lately. Mustapha always winds up in heavy rotation when that happens. It wasn't a hit single, but it's one of my favorites.

I just had Flash Gordon going on my iPod all day. I love that album. I always thought it was a shame that Queen didn't do the soundtrack thing again.

Well, Highlander has a lot of Queen music. As I recall anyway.

It has songs, but the score was by Michael Kamen. Flash Gordon had a full Queen score. I should have said score instead of soundtrack.

Queen Bitch by Bowie. I think it's the relation to the finalé of THE LIFE AQUATIC. Either way I just can't get enough.

Everything I Do (I Do It for You) by Canada's own crater-face. It's been playing in my head ever since someone brought it up here.
If a song keeps playing in your head you'd supposed to listen to it one time to make it would go away. But that would be admitting defeat.

Promiscuous Girl is a good song, and was rolling around in my head a lot last month. Unfortunately, I'm currently being tormented by the less elevated fare of T-Pain's I'mN Luv (Wit A Stripper).

"California" by The Rentals, demo of "Barcelona", and far better than the finished product. Guitars don't get more crushing than this.

Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack". Same deal - not my kind of music, not even sure how it enfiltrated my ears... nevertheless, I can't escape it.

Since Entourage recently, I can't get that Queens of the Stone Age song outta my head either (played during the credits of the Vegas episode)

And a few tracks that appeared in Miami Vice (especially Mogwai and Moby). I just keep humming them all day.

The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth by Coheed & Cambria.

Which means Apollo I: The Writing Writer is also stuck in my head, as they reprise each other (in particular, they share the same catchy shorus), being part of a concept album and all that . . .

Thanks alot!

"Come on Bitch, Why aren't you laughing now!!!!
You left.. me here.. to fend on my OooO Ooown!!"

but on Appollo II I always get this stuck in my head:

"Jessie, BAD boy! Just come look at what your brother did,
to that girl's,
precious,
Little whore of a body,
NAOOOUUWW!"
Damn you!

Lately I've been rockin the albums Cosmos and Surface to Air by Zombi. Really good insturmental Neo-Prog that sounds like a lost soundtrack to a Fulci film. Really creepy and awesome. Fuckin amazing to listen to driving around late at night while no one else is on the roads. Perfect soundtrack to the apocalypse.

Makes me proud to see all the Bowie mentioned. Bowie always owns my ipod.

Also, that new single by the Killers, "When you were young" is pretty good too.

The Twilight Singers cover of "Crazy" gets an excessive amount of play right now. And DBT's "18 Wheels of Love".

Old Crow Medicine Show's 'Wagon Wheel' (chorus written by Bob Dylan) is so good that I take my ipod to the bar just so I can listen while pissing.

DJ Drama's 'Cannon Remix' with Lil' Wayne is proof that the South has lyricists just as creative and unpredictable as anywhere else.

Right now In Flames - Take This Life is the song that I have been playing over...and over... It just speaks to me right now!! (or maybe its just because it sounds cool)
