What are you listening to today?

[Jani]

Great music (and I love Classical), although I will always think of Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny.

 

 

[Maid In Bedlam]

Im a Hunting Wabbits ? Got to love some Bugs bunny,

 

Today i have gone somewhat retro again.

 

Lots of 80s especially Killing joke,  Sisters of mercy,  The Cult and so on.

 

One that has been on my playlist for today more than once, Love like blood

 

 

[Motormouth95]

Gotta love Looney Tunes!

Currently listening to Gold Dust Woman by Fleetwood Mac.

Listening to a Bleachers/FUN mix.  Jack Antonoff is a genius.   Apparently he did the music for a movie called "Love, Simon".  Has anyone seen it?

Wild Heart

 

I want to get Better

 

Rollercoaster

 

At risk of dating myself,  he covers one of my favorite songs by Yaz.  Anyone remember them?

It's at 10:00 in this video:

Since there is a full moon our tonight, I'm listening to Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon followed by Bark at the Moon by Ozzy Osbourne. 

[Maid In Bedlam]

Today im going for something Retro and tip top from back in the day.

 

Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again

 

One of the songs I can actually sing and sound half like Annie so i have been told.

 

She has this deeper tone that i manage to copy to a certain point. Not that im a singer but who knows. im working on it whenever i can. Plus I love the song so double winner winner chicken dinner

 

I would even go as far to say Annie Lennox was my speech therapist ?

 

 

 

 

Anyway It beats eating  multiples of Jaffa Cakes

[Cyndee]

Love Annie,

 

Here is one I am listening to this morning, she totally rocks in this little number

 

 

[Maid In Bedlam]

Thats an awesome one Cyndee

 

But lets not forget the very early Annie. 1979 The Tourists.

 

many only know her for her work  in the 80s and 90s but she was on her way in the 70s

 

I only wanna be with you.

 

 

[Cyndee]

That's cute !! I the symbol stands trick with the drummer is flashy

[Jani]

Her signature voicing is there, but what a change from later work!  

[Kirsten]

Today I’m listening to a local boy who made it big!  Joyner Lucas. He’s from Worcester mass. About 10-15 mins from my house.

It’s pretty hardcore but very true and honest. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea tho. I think my fav song is Isis. Prolly cause my son and I both have to deal with ADHD and he talks a little about it. If you like Eminem and Drake and that kind of music check him out. He actually did a song with Em. called Lucky You. Most people into this music know that song. 

[DeeDee]

Had a quiet morning making pancakes with the kids, but while they have wandered off to live me cleaning up I have discovered a Foo Fighters/Joan Jett collab of bad reputation which was amazing - lots of f bombs though, so instead I thought I'd share this which is equally as good in my opinion: 

 

[Jani]

In the vain what are we listening to, I saw an indie film today Carmine Street Guitars about Rick Kelly and the guitars he makes in New York City's Greenwich Village.  His guitars are made from old reclaimed wood.  There were various artists in the film talking or shopping and playing his guitars.  Lou Reed (RIP) played his instruments.  Overall an enjoyable film and worth the time.

Great show!

I have been listening\watching through Stormzy's performance at Glastonbury. Just amazing.

[Jani]

Last night I listened to a recent episode of Sound Editions from WBEZ in Chicago.  It was on Neil Young & Crazy Horse's Rust Never Sleeps.  A great telling of Neil's influences on how he came to this direction musically.  Very interesting.  There was also a discussion about the Rickenbacher 12 String Electric Guitar.  This instrument's unique sound anchored many great songs from the 60's and beyond (think Tom Petty).  Its only an hour and worth the time.

I have the album  "Live Rust" (1979) and the picture on the back cover shows Neil's guitar strap with a Jimi Hendrix button pinned on it (very telling). Later many Seattle bands would credit Neil as the "god father of grunge" 

[Jani]

I see that!  Very telling...  Neil did tour and put out an album with Pearl Jam, Mirror Ball so there was a later grunge connection as well.  

 

I saw a movie today you may enjoy, Echo in the Canyon.  Its narrated by Jakob Dylan (he's got a beautiful voice) and it chronicles the goings on in Laurel Canyon in the mid 60's with the musicians who lived there and the influences they and others that visited exerted on each other.  Totally enjoyable!
