What are you listening to today?

[Willow McKenzie]

Yes, I bought 18acres in the middle of the woods and thought I could live off the land.   I finally had to create other incomes. I'm still here.

@miz miranda You read my mind. I was reading an article in Goldmine magazine about Ten Years After and Ric Lee's new book Headstocks to Woodstock and it reminded me of my first exposure to TYA - with the SSSSSSSSSSH album. Although I am not crazy about the lyrics - I love this version of Good Morning Little School Girl....................

 

 

[Teri Anne]

TYA was a great band.

I'm enamored with contrasting things, I came across this bluegrass cover of SweetJane

I had all the early, really great Moody albums in college and played them until I wore them out.

Love the Moody Blues.  I still listen to them sometimes.

2 artists who had so much going and yet cut their lives short - our loss.....

 

 

 

[Heather Shay]

Well - I got as good dose of happy this morning - blood work for my 9 MONTH HRT checkup next week. So let's have some fun from an artist that has an amazing voice........................

I remember living in Tulsa for a short while - working at Leon Russell's old studio (now an historical building called The Church - where Tom Petty first recorded and Beatles and Marley and the Linn Drum was invented) and on Easter morning I saw the sun rise and this song played as I looked out from the roof of the building. Been my Easter song ever since.

I heard this on my SiriusXM in the car Saturday and haven’t been able to get it out of my head, thoughts from my adolescence have been flooding my mind.

 

[Heather Shay]

Let's start the week with an UP note (actual UP notes)

 

 

[Heather Shay]

ok - I'm in the mood - oh and @BillieB love Sylvia's Mother - I remember living in Cleveland and their big station WMMS used to run commericals from visiting bands and Ray from Dr. Hook said " I listen to WMMS from the moment I go to sleep until the moment I wake up."

 

[MelanieTamara]

 

Triumph. Don't know why, but it sounds good this A.M.

 

 

 

[Ivy]

Every time I listen to this one it makes me happy.

I think somehow I relate it.  Something about deciding to "go for it."

I was listening to the monkeys, I’m a believer. My wife got annoyed and told me to turn it off. I thought she was kidding. ... and then I saw her face!

Ha Ha!  Cute @AgnesBardsie!!!! ?

[Heather Shay]

What beautiful lyrics......

 

 

[Heather Shay]

@AgnesBardsie I'm sorry to hear that. I'm a Believer is a wonderful song by the Monkees as is Daydream Believer.

[Ivy]

The Monkees is kinda complicated.

[Heather Shay]

yes - pre-fab four - but the songs were still written by some really good writers.........

 

 

[Heather Shay]

and just for fun.... "Not notwhat, Nitwhit"

Deep breaths! It didn’t really happen! It was a joke, a play on words. I like that song too!

[Heather Shay]

Love puns or play on words - sorry I missed it BUT - happy to actually revisit the songs played by most likely the Wrecking Crew. 

I remember buying a Monkee shirt with the 8 buttons and going to school. That year they made it manitory for boys from birth (sadly I hadn't understood me at that time and even if I did I'd be to chicken to comeout) to wear ties - I wore my Monkee's shirt with a tie anyway - also wore turtle neck sweaters with a tie in a silent protest.... yay me!

Thanks for sharing! Nice trip down memory lane!

I've had Spotify on shuffle, and it's playing everything from the genres I listen to most.  Goth, Industrial, lo-fi, future pop and future synth.  Most notable that I heard today is by one of my favorite bands.  Invocation Array.  They also have another project that was called The Luna Sequence.  But I feel like Invocation Array is in some ways a culmination of what The Luna Sequence was trying to do with just the music to itself.  That is just how I feel. 

I started hearing IA in 2016 and it has been thematic to a lot of my life's moments and choices.
