About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

Glen Campbell - Times Like These

Album: Meet Glen Campbell

Johnny Cash was re-introduced to the younger audience when he covered Nine Inch Nails. “Like a rhinestone cowboy” singer Glen Campbell, who is in his 70s now, might be trying to do the same (as the album title suggests), as he decided to cover contemporary artists like Green Day, U2 and Travis. My favorite was cover of Foo Fighter’s “Times Like These.” When Campbell sings it, there’s more weight to it, like he has lived a long life (which he has) and means it as he sings, “It’s times like these you give and give again. It’s times like these you learn to love again.”

I gotta say, at first I didn't like the song. I thought it had a little dash of country to it. But you know what after a few times, it's actually a nice chillaxin' song.
