Music I can't get out of my head:

I think Lilly Allen is amazing...and so so adorably cute. I was introduced to her with her track "The Fear". My favorite version is the Stonbridge Explicit remix which you listen to here:

...and she's dating Ed Simmons, the guy from Chemical Brothers so she's cool on top of being cute.

Also really digging anything Kaskade and particularly his work with Deadmau5. My favorite at this time is this track:

The next has been quite an all consuming search for me. I've attempted to find one particular version that's been stuck in my head for years. There are literally HUNDREDS of versions of BINARY FINARY on YouTube:
- Paul Van Dyke's remix
- DJ Tiesto remix
- Gouryella remix
- Binary 1998, 1999, and their own Finality Mix
- KayCee remix
just to name a few. But I've finally found the version I've been searching for here:

...totally epic version.

And just to throw in a curve ball, Nessun dorma (No-one shall sleep) is a tenor aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot. I swear, this piece of music was written by God himself. Just epic. On youtube, you might find a hundred different versions from Boceli to Paul Potts to Domingo to some no-name opera student. But whatever you do, save Pavarotti's 1994 Los Angeles version for last. This guy's voice is once in a century...just completely effortless.

Next is my favorite Dream Theater song...for now...its difficult to chose with this band! It's called "Glass Prison". The best vid is this one (IMHO). It's the video of Portnoy laying down the Drum track...AWESOME!!

The next blows my mind watching it. It's Paul Gilbert's tribute to Eddie Van Halen. The most insane aspect of this piece is that it's played on only three strings AND all the strings are tuned to "E", three octave separation. This guy is a frickin genius. BTW, just skip past the electric part to the acoustic part. The second part is Paul attempting to "teach you" how to play this piece...he MUST be kidding.

And next up is Miles Davis. This guy is a frickin REVELATION every time I hear him. It's neigh impossible to chose a favorite but certainly almost anything from "Kind of Blue" (which in my opinion is one of the most important works in music this past century) works. BTW, the 1997 remastered version is THE ONE to pick up. All previous versions were nearly an entire half-step sharp! Here's an example from Kind of Blue, "So what":

And lastly, I leave you with Steve Vai's "I know Your're Here"...just amazing. Here is a LIVE version from G3 2003 Denver. NO ONE plays like Vai. He is an entire genre unto himself. He's playing a triple necked guitar; a twelve string up top, a six sting in the middle, and a fretless on the bottom. The fretless is played through a Fernandez sustainer.
