Sort of the same powerful effect as when Nora Jones sings. The singer's real name is Hope Sandoval. I would love to see her do it live.
Mr.Skin by Spirit from the album "The 12 dreams of Dr. Sardonicus". A great example of a late 60's/early 70's LA band with SF feel. A lot of talent but not mainstream and underappreciated.
My little brother's junior high garage band dubbed themselves Elephantitis Tinnitus. I always giggled at that.
I'm listening to my brother play The Legend Of Zelda for Nintendo 64. If you have played it before, he's in the Goron City place with that annoying music.
After 14 years, I finally found a song I liked as a kid: Eric Johnson's Cliffs of Dover. I never knew who played it, but 2.5 hours of iTunes searches and I tracked it down!
