Really Nice Songs
Taking a break from east-timor-studies. A quiet weekend before the run-off in the Presidential elections there. Hopefully, an opportunity for the Timorese people to change their government — nay, change the regime. Many of us wait patiently for these results and those from the consequent Parliamentary elections.
While doing this very challenging list moderating project on Timor (four languages, no joke), I often play music in the background. From iTunes. From Napster. And now more and more, from my Nice Songs list, in the left sidebar of this page. It relieves the gloom and tension.
In the past few days, I have removed all dead links in the Nice Songs list and switched the focus from audio to video, thanks to the miracle of You Tube which I had previously only used to get documentary videos on Timor. I searched for song titles which are among my personal favorites. Latecomer, I admit. They’re the type of songs you see mentioned in my Friendster profile. The You Tube videos generally stream very quickly. Mouse over the list, and you’ll see which ones are the videos.
Pack up your sorrows (that’s a song) for while and enjoy the riches of the net.
Did I miss your favorites? Send their titles by email to me at john.a.macdougall@gmail.com or johnmacdougall@comcast.net.
Thanks, all you good people.
