What's on your iPod?

Wow. I liked the transitions in the above Killjoy video. You will not be disappointed. From Disneyfied shots of Kremlin, to Putin portrait, to soaring fighters....to a landscape lit by the warm glow of a thermonuclear explosion! Inspiring!

And Roosters for ever - bodacious bel canto babe belting Botany Bay out beautifully.
 
Who is Penelope Colby? An enigma wrapped in a mystery, possibly wrapped in a soft tortilla, with no apparent trace on the interweb.
 

And then ELO did a sweet love letter to Chuck with this tribute (I like the instrumental breaks, as they shift the hommage over to Ludwig, too)...


Also, I found Walter Murphy's (for me) large earworm from the heart of the disco era.

 
Reminded by another thread (a comment about harmonies) that this was on my playlist:
I may have commented on it before, but it was the inspiration to some of the incredible music in the "Ghost in the Shell":
 
The Amazing B-Side

Ah, bliss. I had lost track of this song, having fatally misremembered the title; the stupid part is it's the B-side to the one song I know from the band. 「見えない世界」 ("Mienai Sekai [The Invisible World]"), by Porno Graffitti, is packaged with "Melissa", a single most famous as an OP for Fullmetal Alchemist.

The top comment at YouTube suggests, "How can a B-Side be better than the title track? This is how." A reply reminds "Wipe Out", by the Surfaris, which was originally intended as a B-side for "Surfer Joe". On that note, I might also recall "Renegade", by Styx, which was the B-side to "Sing for the Day".

"Mienai Sekai" has a certain feel to it, and while there are in pop music many songs that soar, this one has a very particular sensation about it, akin to flying dreams.
