Parsad Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Another great late song by New Order was from their 2013 album "Lost Sirens" with "Californian Grass". I feel like driving up the Pacific Coast Highway in a Porsche 911 Carrera every time I listen to this song! Cheers!
Parsad Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Also can't forget these guys...arguably the most under-rated rock/punk bands of all-time who keep putting out good music 40 years into it. A style all their own and identifiably Californian! Some great songs by them especially when Frusciante was playing. One of the great bass guitarists in Flea, lead guitarist in Frusciante, and drummers of all time in Chad Smith...combined with Anthony Keidis' unique vocals...The Red Hot Chilli Peppers! Cheers!

Was a big fan of Big Black in the day, and Steve’s vocals still hold up today, raw and intense as ever. RIP. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/shellac-to-all-trains/ Albini - what a guy. Used to listen to Atomizer a fair bit - things like Kerosene still hold up - intense! And he produced a few of my favourite albums. Good to find some indie people on CoBF - I suspected general tastes were more conservative. However I must confess I could never get into the Smiths. Edited July 24 by thowed

Parsad Posted August 14 Posted August 14 I knew and listened to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but I had no idea about Cave's writings or the death of his two boys. He was on Stephen Colbert tonight and that's when I found out about that side. Here is an article about the death of his two boys and how it impacted his view of the world: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/nick-cave-bad-seeds-children-b2594948.html He then started the Red Hand Files, where he takes letters sent to him and answers them. This one to Valerio was showcased on Colbert...what a brilliant lucid view of what life is and how loss defines our humanity: https://www.theredhandfiles.com/do-you-still-believe-in-us/ Cheers!

Spekulatius Posted August 18 Author Posted August 18 (edited) Somehow got back into Warren Zevons music. I had the Sentimental Hygiene record back then. I knew Werewolves of London but never his other works and there is plenty of it. You got to embrace the dark side if you listen to his music. There is some F***** up sh*t to be found there. I love gems like Roland the headless Thompson gunner: Edited August 18 by Spekulatius
DooDiligence Posted August 18 Posted August 18 There’s a lot going on there. Lawyers, Guns and Money is my fav. That and Werewolves, of course. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_the_Headless_Thompson_Gunner

The 3-hour pre-arrival for international flights that became 4-hours, as every 2nd/3rd hung-over 65+ geezer in AC/DC gear made their way home ... playing the sound on their phone (as loudly as tolerable), 3-5 at a time! I understand that similar to Taylor Swift ... Dublin return via Ryan Air, plus two nights hotel, plus concert ticket, plus a duty-free 750 ml bottle of Jameson to take home with you, was expected to be about the same price as buying a ticket at home (were it available). Of course ... it's Ryan Air .... so you're only taking your passport/carry-on with you Great concert. SD
nwoodman Posted September 6 Posted September 6 Iron Maiden tonight. Looking forward to Eddie with a zimmer frame . Can’t say I have played more than one or two songs in the last 10 years but a big part of my early intro to music. Commiserating our collective age with a few mates before hand should make for a fun evening though
Parsad Posted September 6 Posted September 6 For those that enjoy Pearl Jam...one of the finer songs they've written in the last decade or so. Lyrics are fantastic and Vedder's voice remains solid! Cheers!

A musician's dream, very few are able to achieve. I'm a sucker for songwriting and 'Better Man' is pure lyrical marvel. It touches a chord for a lot of women and men. Tell him, "Take no more" She practices her speech As he opens the door, she rolls over Pretends to sleep as he looks her over Talkin' to herself There's no one else who needs to know She tells herself, oh Memories back when she was bold and strong And waiting for the world to come along Swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone She dreams in color, she dreams in red Can't find a better man Can't find a better man Can't find a better man She loved him, yeah She don't want to leave this way She feeds him, yeah That's why she'll be back again How does someone write that? All by himself! There is music with rhyming words, and then there is music with poetry. This song is poetry at it's finest. The band is in a genre of their own.
whatstheofficerproblem Posted September 6 Posted September 6 Since I am on the topic of songwriting: Jason Isbell, is for me easily one of the top 5 songwriters, at least in english music. Speed Trap Town is an excellent song, never was there a song that explores the themes he explores and the way he goes about exploring it. One of the few artists where the live experience is actually better than the Apple Music one.
tooskinneejs Posted September 6 Posted September 6 I am as old as many of you. And while I love music from the 80's, 90's, etc., I also love newer music - something I'm not seeing much of in this thread. So for that reason I'm going to encourage you guys to try out some younger artists that are great (in no particular order): Grouplove - Moving and infectious, uplifting rock with two vocalists. You may know their song 'Tongue Tied.' Examples of other great songs: 'Deleter,' 'Welcome to Your Life,' 'Cheese,' and 'I'm with You.' Noah Kahan - Vermonter who plays folksy acoustic guitar-driven music that has a lot of emotion. Examples of great songs: 'Northern Attitude,' 'Stick Season,' and 'She Calls Me Back.' Dinosaur Pile-Up - For those who like their rock a little harder. Listen to their album 'Celebrity Mansions' and check out songs like 'Back Foot,' 'Round the Bend,' and 'Long Way Down.' You'll hear elements of Blink and Radiohead here and there. Smallpools - Fun pop rock with some emotional tracks too. You may know their song 'Dreaming.' Check out other songs like 'Killer Whales,' 'Passenger Side,' 'Mother,' and 'Stumblin' Home.' Zach Person - Love bluesy rock and Lenny Kravitz? Give this guy a listen. He has a new album titled 'Feel It.' Check out the title track and songs like 'Muddy Water' and 'Make It.' Jadu Heart - Erethral alternative rock. Check out the album 'Derealised' and the song 'Cocoon.' Joey Valence & Brae - Modern take on the Beastie Boys. RDGLDGRN (Red Gold Green) - Rock music with bouncy rap vibes. Listen to 'I Love Lamp,' 'Lootin in London,' and their new song 'Feel It Right Now' (those from the DC area will recognize the go go beats). They have lots of tracks on video games. I hope you find something new you enjoy!

I personally think Vitalogy was Pearl Jam's greatest album! On par with Nirvana's Nevermind and In Utero. I saw them in Seattle on that tour...one of the greatest concerts I've seen! Better Man was great, but I think Corduroy is one of the finest hard rock songs of all time, with one of the greatest mashes of colliding guitar riffs...a slamming drum beat...and extraordinary vocals by Eddie Vedder. Perfect! The only song I can compare the end to is The Edge and Daniel Lanois' guitars at the end of With or Without You. While that was sonically beautiful, this is disturbingly loud and angry...exactly what the grunge movement was. Cheers!

coc Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Never been into classical but I found some Bach I like late, the keyboard concertos specficially. F Minor (all the movements) is great! G Minor too. I'm hoping to land and expand and find some other stuff I like - I have enjoyed some Rachmaninoff in the past.

I thought it was hilarious too. Alas, they appear to be one hit wonders. I backtracked the YT channel, kinda hoping there would be a quick cover of Beatin' Around the Bush, but nope.
