#195 Vacationer - The Wild Life


-Why?
It's not a secret, that it's kind of difficult to find a good song for each day to share. Luckily I didn't have problem finding the one today, rather was my Internet tricking and didn't let me to post at all :-/ Such a summer song, just go with the flow and rhythm...

#191 Placebo - Hold On To Me


-Why?
To tell the truth, I have never been very fond of Placebo, really. But this heartsore song affects me somehow different at the moment - it feels like one of those tunes you want to link to a certain person, so that he could listen and understand, what I *actually* would like to tell him...

A Lithuanian friend of mine, whom I haven't been in contact with for a long long time, shared this video in her facebook news feed. Something acoustic in between...

#187 I'm From Barcelona - Get In Line


-Why?
I managed to listen to radio after couple of days again, this da*n machine just lost the sound after every couple of minutes and I had no idea how to fix it. Thank God it repaired itself :) And played such an entertaining tune immediately.

#186 New Madrid - Juniper


-Why?
Huh, I found one free festival yesterday late evening, that unfortunately took place couple of hours before I saw the ad, so I missed it. There was actually an artist, called Juniper, playing, but since it turns out I am still bad at searching, I found a song named Juniper instead.

#181 Carnivore Club - Hand Me Down Your Broken Will

#180 Cosmo Sheldrake - The Moss


-Why?
If there could be a corresponding song for J. Timberlake's "Cry me a river"  12 years later, it would be The Moss. I'm just having such a dejavu moment with this song :-)

#179 A Great Big World - I Really Want It


-Why?
I happened to see a music list with current favorites from Johannes Strate on Ampya's website. It was actually a surprise, how many tunes were in common with my recent favorites and good old ones. But how come I did not know about the song "I Really Want It"? Such a happy-go-lucky tune! I should try to play it tomorrow morning to see if it can encourage me to wake up.

#178 Revolverheld - Hamburg hinter uns


-Why?
Here I am again: it's getting midnight and I'm wrestling with my homeworks for tomorrow. It's said that background music helps one to focus, but only if it's instrumental. Bfff! I mean music in German is allowed to study German, right? So, let the song about my bittersweet Hamburg city be heard.

#176 Madonna - Open Your Heart


-Why?
Something good and old in the end of exhausting day, when I'm too tired to discover new tunes. I was born in 1989, though, so I can't call myself true 80's kid, but the 80's list in Spotify brings me still so many "Oh!" and "Ah!" moments.

#175 Astronomy - Things I'd Do For You


-Why?
Casper was having his Ohrspiel in FluxFm. The songs he had chosen to play were such extremes, so I found some good oldies and then again - some new, that I couldn't stand at all. Astronomy is a positive surprise!

#174 Seeed - Beautiful


-Why?
Long live for the website gratis-in-berlin.de! I stumbled on concert, where one of my favorite German band were playing: so suddenly, now today, so near and for free! Wheee! I was asking myself - how come I didn't know about it? Later, when I arrived in front of the stage (managed to the first row), I understood. It was actually just the closing event of one political demonstration - of course such performances are not mentioned in overall gigs list. I have no clue, which newspaper's front page I will be on tomorrow - there were so many media channels and photographers, that it was impossible to hide yourself from any of them. (Some youngsters were even carrying signs "Here only for the bands" - so that they won't be connected with politics on photos). Anyway - my secret love Revolverheld was so so enjoyable and I felt like a teenager again... After their performance, I thought about leaving and maybe catching the band up, but thank God I stayed - Seeed is a revolution! 11 men on the stage - playing, singing and dancing (!) so well, that it's impossible to stay still and not to move along. Since I'm not able to rap, especially in German, I share a song, that's in English. Some photos made by me, below:

#173 Joe Stummer - Get Down Moses


-Why?
As there are bad hair days, I also have my bad music days. Even though I've listened to radio for a long time and written down some lyrics to find the songs later with the help from almighty Google, I still end up with almost nothing that I truly have this special click with (first world problems...). I actually heard another song from Joe Stummer, but decided in "Get Down Moses" favor instead.

#172 Firelight - Coming Home


-Why?
Eurovision Song Contest semi-final II. I basically chose this song just because 1) the front singer looks so badly like a friend of mine (I even asked him why didn't he ever tell me he is a singer from Malta :P) and 2) obviously beautiful melody. PS. If anyone know how is this instrument in his hands called, let me know :)

#171 Collabro - Stars (from Les Misérables)


-Why?
Something quite extraordinary in my blog - Britain's Got Talent entry. I knew this video was uploaded to Youtube nearly a month ago already and many of You must know about it, but it somehow came back around to me tonight. Just look at Simon Cowell rolling his eyes before and after(1:41) their performance: he understands, that he was prejudicing and totally wrong, but is too proud to let himself smile (on the other hand, he can do nothing against the Mother Nature - corner of his lip is twitching anyway :'). The beauty of those boys comes from their self-confidence: none of them feels ashamed about what they do for living: "I'm a sales assistant in petrol station, I'm a kitchen salesman, I work in a Japanese restaurant..." - because they know what they can and they they do it damn good. Literally, I'd ask each second of them marry to me :D (Yes, second!)

#170 Pollapönk - No Prejudice


-Why?
Eurovision Song Contest I semi-final. This tune is just too good for the competition. After being ill for couple of days already, I recovered now instantly after 5th song :D  I literally left TV after their performance, since I've chosen my winner! (and Estonian song is also past, rest of the clownery can be yours :)

#167 John Farnham - You're The Voice


-Why?
Such a throwback, isn't it!? I went to International Popchoir Festival today and one group from Netherlands was singing this fabulous song. It has a refrain, that's impossible to stop singing. Do you feel, how much power can one "Ooo" consist? I still feel shivers and wonder why didn't any conductor of the choirs that I have been singing in, never took this song to our repertory...hmm.

Couple of pictures from festival, made by me:
