Been listening to the new Godsmack album " Lighting Up The Sky"... So far, it isn't to bad. Will have to give it a few more turns... I have the CD... this is for those that don't.

Gonna change things up and post from another of my personal favorite playlists. More modern stuff and a different genre. My favorites are from the 60's and 70's because that's what I grew up with, but my taste in music is very eclectic.
Cage The Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked
Andrew Watt - High
Foo Fighters - All My Life
The Black Keys - Wild Child
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
The Blue Stones - Shakin' Off The Rust

Also, I can't get this out of my head this evening (which honestly is one of the best songs to get stuck in your head), it's such a beautiful song! Obviously this isn't the original, but I'm posting this version on purpose—I'm the sound engineer on the upcoming production of Mamma Mia!, and I haven't gotten sick of this cue, and probably never will, because I love it! Me and the other tech folks were (quietly) singing along to Sophia and the ensemble, I just love it!
Yeah!! I sure love it—this musical is just great all around! The plot and the actual musical numbers themselves are lovely!
My mother adored ABBA (and loved that musical), and could - and did - listen to their music endlessly; so many of their tunes and tracks are both timeless and quite excellent, decades later.
It must be fun to be a sound engineer on such a production.
Good morning! Good high energy listening today

Listening to some Pat Metheny, who always makes me feel happy(ier) and have some hope. I really need it after a particularly awful day for my whole school, especially for the family involved, who suffered quite a tragic loss. I happen to be very close with this family, and at this point, we're all just trying to help each other out... Let's hope tomorrow is a little better for all of us.

Excellent choice, some of Pat Metheny's stuff is wonderful.
Have you ever heard the quite lovely track by Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny from an album named "Beyond the Missouri Sky" that is called "Spiritual"?
I recommend that you seek it out; it is a lovely piece, soothing and soulful.
This is a great version of Autumn Leaves! I wish I could find the rest of this record—maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but I haven't found it.
I love it!! It's very slow, free-flowing, and as you said, soulful. I love the simple progression, it is completely different from any Metheny record I've ever heard, it's great!
I normally don't do covers, unless that cover is something that doesn't stray too far from the original but is unique in its own way that pays complete and total homage to the original, and done tastefully and respectfully. A perfect example of that would be Africa, by Leo Morracchioli/Frog Leap Studios. It's still plainly Africa, but unique enough that you can't forget it when you hear it.
With that in mind, over the past weekend, I had the chance to meet a very lovely lady named Samantha Newark, who was the voice actress in conjunction with the person below. While Samantha is a singer in her own right, She mentioned her cohort named Britta Phillips. I stumbled across this performance from Britta last night, which really got to me, not only because the original is so much of a standard, but also because it's a big task for someone to cover it and make it sound good. This song would be Drive by The Cars. I've heard it played many times before, but not as haunting as this.
If Samantha is the voice actress, Britta is better known as the singing voice of another truly outrageous singer:
