What are You Listening To? ~ September, 2021

[smudgersmissingleg]

Oasis - Champagne Supernova

 

[renfield]

Now playing Steely Dan - Aja.

I was front row center for Larry Carlton last night. His band was phenomenal. Keith Carlock was on drums. Mind blowing. The horn players were some Nashville studio guys. Best sax tone I’ve ever heard.

They ran down a bunch of Steely Dan tunes. Black Cow grooved even better than on the album. So good.

The Seldom Scene - Don't Bother With White Satin.

LOVE the Seldom Scene!!................. Gotta admit, I'm partial to the John Duffey era...........
I sure do miss that line-up!!............
Good Stuff!!...........

Every Saturday morning when I was a kid (mid 70's), my Mom would load up the Magnavox console, stack about six Elton John and Neil Diamond records and start cleaning the house............ when the stack played through she'd ask if I could flip them over, which I always did............
Neil gets a lot of flak, I know, but his music is "comfort food" for me.........
Takes me back to a special time in my life, when everything was simple, no cell phones, computers, deadlines........... just a 10 year old kid enjoying these tunes......
I can still remember the smell of the dust burning off those old tubes in that Magnavox..........
Ahhh........ memories............ Miss my Mom.............

 

[Servant King]

Mark-Almond - One Way Sunday, from Mark-Almond II (1971). I can dig the above reference of being taken back to a simpler time...this one does it for me!

 

[beefeater33]

Just found this Gem whilst browsing the YT..............
I think it's great............ Killer version of "Hey Joe".......
and the pictures are spot on.......... a well done video to my untrained, old, tired, eyes!!.....

 

[Bax Burley]

It's fall(ish.) Danzig, Samhain, Misfits.

 

[philobeddoe]

Just got home from my second King Crimson concert in the last ten days! ?

 

[shanez]

Another interesting one. This is apparently Russian folk music mixed with metal. It's pretty good and is an interesting audio juxtaposition so to speak.

 

[kcghost]

Patsy singing "Walking after Midnight". Sixty years after she died we are still playing her music annd loving it.

 

[Trainpipeman]

Another interesting one. This is apparently Russian folk music mixed with metal. It's pretty good and is an interesting audio juxtaposition so to speak.

My other half likes Grai!

 

[Trainpipeman]

New ABBA song "I Still Have Faith in You." Nice to hear new music from them in almost 40 years.

 

[Servant King]

Phillip Wilkerson - Ways Of Forgetting, from Swiftly The Sun (2015). Minimalistic ambient at its best, if you can spare 25 minutes to bliss out...

 

[cigrmaster]

I found a new version of Pink Floyd's Pulse concert. I love cranking the piss out of Pink Floyd live shows. My Denon receiver with Cerwin Vega 15XL speakers and a Klipsch powered sub, and a sound bar for watching tv is in my living room. In my bedroom I have some Cambridge Sound Works speakers, a Denon receiver a nice sound bar when I am watching just tv and not stereo music. I also have a powered sub with this system but am not sure of the brand, but it is a pretty good one as I don't buy lousy equipment. It is probably a Klipsch as I always have bought that brand for years.

 

[Trainpipeman]

Speaking of Grai... check out Alkonost and Arkona as well. This is one of my other half's favorites by Alkonost, which is a song about believing in yourself: "The Song of Power."

 

[renfield]

Now playing Van Halen - Van Halen.

Hard to believe this album is approaching 50 years old.

 

[Servant King]

Talking Heads - Seen and Not Seen, from Remain In Light (1980).

 

[saltedplug]

Been listening to the band for a while, though now I use their songs as practice for my mongol course as well.
Here's the acoustic version of one of their sadder songs. (In short, it is sung by the parents to their son as he's sent off to war)

Hey, that's fantastic, almost utterly original except for overtones of the didgeridoo. So these guys are Mongolian?

 

[madhatt]

On that note, now listening to Huun-Huur-Tu - Chyraa Khoor:

 

[cragdhack]

Hey, that's fantastic, almost utterly original except for overtones of the didgeridoo. So these guys are Mongolian?

No didgeridoo there, that's done completely vocally through mongolian throat singing styles, Khoomei and Kargyraa. (The bit at the end in particular is some of the finest Khoomei I laid my ears on)

And yes, they're mongolian. Fairly new band, do modernized folk songs, rock and some covers. They received the order of Chinggis Khaan, the highest award a civilian may receive in Mongolia, for promoting their culture.

I hope to soon be able to replicate some of their songs. Been on a mongolian course for a couple months now and am working on the throat singing.
