What are you listening to today?

[Cyndee]

To some of those I left behind in the dust....this channels some the rage experienced of dysphoria rather aptly....Dark warning.....

 

From 1992 and STP - Piece of Pie....

 

"It's staring me down, wearing a crown of apathy, yeah"

added dark warning....

[Cyndee]

I'm listening to Abby Road - The Beatles (1969), I never grow tired of it.

 

My favorite song on the album is "you never give me your money" and the following medley....

 

"Step on the gas and wipe that tear away"

I love it !! I hear the messages, and am an active listener....

 

And think it's so cool the bass player is a lefty....Not the common way....

[Cyndee]

The guitar work in this piece is stellar, from our friends up north, eh ? Straight ahead shuffle, boogie, peddle to the metal, and just makes my body move to the groove....

 

April Wine - Roller (1978). The radical double leads that lead up to the evolving overtones of the Marshall stacks at 2:50 - 3:08 is just so deep....

 

For all you rock chicks, She's a roller.....

Hello. April wine is a great band. And cyndee, your messenger isn't working. I had a message for you. Today I am going to listen to church music. Its Sunday and I need some peace in me today.

Yes and its a right hand bass that he's strung backwards.  Similar to Jimi with his Strat. 

 

I had forgotten about April Wine.  Got to love the clothing and hair back then.  Very feminine overtones.

I am going to really blow the windows out with this one, but my partner put 'The Sound of Music' on the DVD yesterday. I just had tears streaming down my face ?

 

Sometimes odd things can get emotional.

[Jani]

No you won't, that is wonderful music!   For those of a certain age it definitely will bring memories of youth back.  Tears?  Fully understandable.   Enjoy every note.

I’ve been checking out Emily Rowed lately. She has some really good chill music but the remixes are very nice too.

[Josie Beth]

Is it just me? Or does that drummer in April Wine look a lot like Common Sense, the rapper/actor? 

[Cyndee]

Yeah Josie Beth, he could have copied his look, who knows ?

 

They are all great musicians, I kinda think the lead singer in the April Wine vid is the cutest.....❤️

 

 

[killjoyaiden]

Has anyone listened to Billie Eilish's new song "Wish You Were Gay"? It's SO good!!!

[Maid In Bedlam]

This day I have mostly been listening to early The Cult

Featuring Among many other tip top tracks from the back of the record stack, RAIN

 

 

[Cyndee]

Love the rain, the make up in the vid is cool....

 

This morning, I'm listening to the The Beatles revolver album.

 

Tax Man  (1966) "there's one for you nineteen for me"

 

Such a groovy bass line Paul....

This gem!

 

 

[Jani]

The video for the original version of this was great.  I believe it was one of the first to use animation and live action together.  

[DeeDee]

Our current regular car tune... it gets listened to every day as we drive. My son has listened to this and AC/DC ever since watching Megamind, between that and Guardians of the Galaxy he has some great tunes on his playlist now, so I rarely change the songs...

 

[Jani]

Go Now - The Moody Blues.  This early Moody's gem is sung by Denny Laine, a founding member who later went to form Wings with Paul McCartney.

[Cyndee]

Moody Blues - Lovely to see you (1969)

 

Such a wonderful vibe

[Jackson Max]

Hollywood undead 

And a good song for transgender boys, ‘the prisoner’ by iron maiden 

[Jani]

I'm just chilling and listening to the Classical music station out of Boston ??.  I need to vacuum my place but I think tomorrow will be good.  Ahhhh.

[Jani]

I dragged out my copy of The Essential Jimi Hendrix and played disk one while I was on the treadmill.   For those who aren't Jimi aficionados this is a good set to have.  There's the psychedelic music everyone knows him for but also blues, rock, jazz, ballads and more.  The full range of Jimi talent is present along with Mitch Michell's jazz infused drumming backed up by the rhythm of Noel Redding's sublime bass playing. 

 

"But I'm going to wave my freak flag high,

Wave on, wave on"

 

Enjoy! Jani

I love that tune "If 6 was 9", it plays like an anthem to me.

 

Jimi is our local home town hero, his remains are buried in the Renton Highlands above where he grew up. There is a memorial for him there. Jimi's music was/is very inspirational for me. One of the cover bands I was in, we played "Fire", I never grew tired of playing those bass lines, that tune drives me, it was always one of my favorites in our set, people love that tune, it moves and it grooves...

 

So this morning I got out my Jimi and listening to "Freedom"

 

 

[Jani]

I love "Fire".  In the studio version its as if Noel played lead with the bass line driving through the whole song.

 

I didn't know Jimi was buried there.
