"When I was reading at Tombstone the other day in the--the museum and saw the picture of Geronimo... And many of you might think that Geronimo was a renegade. To me he was a genuine American. He was only fighting for that which was right that God had give him a land, and a nation, and a place to live. I don't blame him. And when those white soldiers come in there and by force taken over the land and killing them out like a bunch of flies... And there was the original picture of Geronimo's medical headquarters or his hospital. It was two or three blankets over a piece of mesquite. And them wounded, real, genuine American Indians fighting for their God-given rights... And there, Geronimo with a baby of his own on the hips, standing there looking upon his own warriors, bleeding, dying with no penicillin or nothing, no way to help them: genuine, God-given American. Then call him a renegade? I'd call him a gentleman."

As long as there is no vulgarity, i'll listen to most anything. But my fave's are; smooth, jazzy, trip-hop/dream-pop/electronica/down-tempo/chillout/ambient type music - http://www.daveslounge.com/index.php?post_id=15537 - Urban Myth Club, phontaine, SCHILLER, Adani & Wolf, moodorama, Blue States, Tina Dico, Soulstice, Ember, Balligomingo, Sleepthief, Love Spirals, Afterlife, Musetta, Frost, Slowpho, Flunk, Puracane, Air, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Zero 7, Groovecatcher, Fragile State, Olive, Blue 6, Aya, Stereolab, Soma Sonic, Weekend Players, Thievery Corporation, Mandalay, Airlock, Hooverphonic, Vanessa Daou, Dubstar, Conjure One, Lunascape, Opus 3, Trespassers William, Ivy, Esthero (a few songs), Halou, Morcheeba, Below Zero, Imogen Heap/Frou Frou, Sade, Beck, Arrogants, John Mayer, The Cranberries, Laika, Kikiwest, Hammock, The Starseeds, 4 Hero (Univerisal Reprise), club 8, Butterfly Explosion, Velvet Belly, Girls in Hawaii, Pan, Violet Indiana, and many others.I obviously prefer female vocalists...and one of my favorites is Imogen Heap. She absolutely blew me away when i heard her. She's possibly the most talented recording artist alive.Tina Dico's album, 'In The Red' is one of the best I've ever heard.
Tina is just as talented as Imogen (and as tall). She also has a unique voice...and an overall flow of vocal harmonics throughout her songs.
Give her a listen and see if you don't agree...

ld any band have as pleasant music or be more easy to listen to than Balligomingo or Love Spirals?And could there be a more beautiful song than, 'Different Stars', by Trespassers William?Very much enjoy Traditional Gaelic/Keltic Folk, Real Old-Time Bluegrass, and some of the older country tunes (Gospel style).Enjoy many folk tunes from various cultures...esp. the Andean cultures. Pinoy contemporary/classics too; ASIN, Freddie Aguilar, and others.hawai..ian local island pop is one of my fave genres...sistah robi, bradda iz (kamakawiwaole), Pure Heart, Fiji, Keali..i Reichel, and many, many others. "nuttin bettah din go campin nort shore...wit choke grindz -n- plenny island jams ...eh brah, no foget da tako poke...ono da buggah...shoot shoot!" :)Without a doubt, 'Promised Love', by keahiwai, has to be the best song of the genre.Also enjoy most of the 17th, 18th & 19th century classical compositions as well.Rebecca St. James is one of my favorite Gospel singers.Check out my reviews at amazon.com...
