I always love it when some of my favorite bloggers take a moment to share something a bit more personal on their blogs, usually things they do for fun like the films they watch or the music they’re currently into.
Keren Rose
Nylon
If you are a blogger I invite you to post the music that you’re listening to this month on your blog and link your post back to this one and in the comments section below, share the link to your post so decor8 readers can click over to see what you’re listening to. Consider yourself tagged! :) This will be quite fun and may open us all up to some new music. Honestly there is nothing better than a home filled with fresh flowers, good food, and good music in addition to a nice interior and some yummy cookies baking in the oven. :)
Klee
Room Eleven
So fellow bloggers, what you are listening to? I just pulled the stack of CD’s on my shelf that I’ve purchased since coming here to Germany last month. See if we have any favorites in common and please, excuse my obsession with Greatest Hits CDs lately. I’m a bit obsessed with old school hits right now. I know, I know… Will Smith? you ask. I was listening to “A Nightmare on My Street” yesterday and nearly died laughing at the memories it brought back. After that I played MJ’s, “Don’t Stop ‘Til Ya Get Enough” and couldn’t help but recall when my mother bought me my first vinyl as a child and I played it so loud I nearly broke the speakers in my little orange record player… Talk about a blast from the past! Here is a taste of what I’m listening to lately…
- Klee (German), Title: Berge Versetzen (crazy about!)
- Keren Rose (French), Title: Rose (the best Sunday afternoon music)
- Nylon (German), Title: 10 Lieder ?ber Liebe (oh this band is so jazzy and good)
- Thomas Godoj (German), Title: Plan A (German pop but his voice is great)
- Morrissey, Title: Greatest Hits
- Abba, Title: Gold: Greatest Hits
- Michael Jackson, Title: Off The Wall
- John Mayer, Title: Heavier Things
- Babyface, Title: Greatest Hits
- Will Smith, Title: Greatest Hits
- Ne Yo, Title: Because of You
- Iron Man, Title: Movie Soundtrack
- Moccabar Vol. 2 (Italian)
- Room Eleven (Dutch) Title: Six White Russians and a Pink Pussycat (love!)
Your turn! You can either blog your favorites or if you don’t want to blog them or if you do not have a blog, comment below. Can’t wait to see your faves.

Thanks so much for this post!! I’m always on the lookout for new music because, frankly, I’m a music neophyte. Recently I’ve been listening to “old crooners” – so you’ve probably heard of them already. All the same here they are:
Frank Sinatra. No offense to Michael Buble but Ol’ Blue Eyes version of A Foggy Day is so much better.
The Andrews Sisters. Their rendition of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is the best one.
Rosemary Clooney. Cheek to Cheek and I’m Beginning to See the Light are personal favorites.
Bobby Darin. Mack the Knife.
Bing Crosby. Swinging on a Star and Alexander’s Ragtime Band are current favorites.
Also contemporary singers with crooning styles: Renee Olstead, Puppini Sisters and the saxophone crooner Chris Botti.
Enjoy listening . . . I know I will enjoy checking out all these new-to-me artists.

Oh Holly, you made a little mistake about Rose, the singer :) She is called “Rose” only and not “Keren Rose”. Maybe you were thinking of Keren Ann instead? :)
Anne-Julies last blog post: Boites
September 10th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Anne-Julie! Oh thank you for calling this to my attention. I just double checked the CD and it’s called Rose and I guess that is also her name, but the CD (small text on it) says her name is Keren Rose (or maybe it is really Rose Keren?). Hmmmm. Oh well I think people will find it okay if they click on the link above in this post. :) Thank you again Anne-Julie.
Holly
September 10th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I never saw her CD, just only her on TV shows :) and you’re totally right! I think your link is totally good since at the end it links to her music :D
Anne-Julies last blog post: Boites
September 10th, 2008 at 6:31 pm

September 10th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
Okay, like liss I have been a little Old School, but with an update of sorts. Our family has been cycling the Across the Universe soundtrack. And we watched the movie like 6 times this summer. Yesterday we bought a new car with XM, so I imagine I will be listening to that, since for me it’s a novelty…I know, I know, I am behind a few years!!

September 11th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Yay, you are listening to Room Eleven! :-)
They (well, the singer and the double bass player) are friends of mine.
I have been following them for years – so cool to see that their music is spreading across the globe! Do you have their latest CD as well (Mmm… Gumbo?)? It features a duet with Dayna Kurtz – hauntingly beautiful…
Another favourite (and friend) of mine: Renske Taminiau (http://rensketaminiau.com/in.html and http://www.myspace.com/rensketaminiau). A combination of jazz and pop, singer/songwriter.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:38 am
