Since the election, I've fallen into old habits of lo-fi indie, post-rock instrumental, and Radiohead on a bit of a continuous loop. This one has come up a lot because of the fuzz that hits about a minute in. It matches my brain so well...

This is stripped down so far it's practically not there. The answer to the question, "How many instruments can we take away and still have something the kids will call a song?"

Anyway, I was fascinated by it. I won't listen to it again, but yeah. That one time was interesting.

The whole...package around this kid seems utterly contrived and manufactured (cringe), but I find something defiantly genuine about it somehow. Though the 60 year history of pop music would suggest that I'm probably wrong about that.

Peter Tosh! Babylon, your queendom is falling...


From the Equal Rights sessions, not released on an album during his lifetime.

Equal Rights should really have been a double album, with "rejects" like Babylon Queendom, Vampire, Mark of the Beast, Hammer, Can't Blame the Youth...those would have been the best tracks on most other reggae albums of the period. Incredible period for Tosh. Incredible life.

original son of anarchy

 

[PhillyDave]

The new song? Meh. This? Cool.

Joe Strummer died on this day in 2002. This is what I'm listening to.

Phil Lesh with some nice round bass tone on this one:

[desertlizard]

is good to know this forum is still alive and well

 

[zobraks]

Sure. Even some Bukowski-related threads are thriving.

Phil Lesh with some nice round bass tone on this one:

Phil played on it? I'll have to pull that album out again.I mostly remember that it's odd.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Phil played bass on Cowboy Movie, Tamalpais High, Laughing and What Are Their Names. Neil Young and Jack Casady played bass on a couple of the others. I disliked the record for a while, but it really grew on me.

[Short Bus]

It seems to be getting more airplay

 

[Bukfan]

I´m listening to The Stones new album, "Blue & Lonesome". It's an okay album if you like traditional blues.

 

[Bukfan]

Let's have one more with a faster beat to it.

Some early Harry:

(Harry Nilsson - She Wandered Through the Garden Fence)

This one smacks of a carbon copy of Everbody's Talkin' but it's still a fine tune. All the great artists rip themselves off:

 

[mjp]

This kills me. It sounds like a song intro looped over and over into a song. Can't say I've heard anything quite this audacious in some time. I mean, who does that?

Yes lawd!

 

[LickTheStar]

These guys have been my obsession for the last couple years. I really wish they'd get a new album out. Alas.

 

[PhillyDave]

 

[Johannes]

Ah, German Pop from the 80's. Besides Irish Rock still the best music to get drunk to.

 

[PhillyDave]

Have that on 45. My grandfather worked at a bar and used to give his grandchildren the 45s when they swapped out. I have a lot of Hall & Oates as well.

[LickTheStar]

Spent all these years not even knowing the bootleg WASN'T Albert Hall. This one's definitely a cleaner, clearer recording.

 

[Erik]

Good luck to all my citizen friends!
You're gonna need som zen, that's for sure.

Yoko sends her best wishes as well.

The Dylan live boxed set is currently outta my league but it is on my list of expensive things to save up for, that and bikes for the boys. Gonna listen to this

[This video is unavailable.]

today at work. It's in my wheelhouse, as the millennials are known to say.

 

[LickTheStar]

The box set is so far out of my league too. I'm relying on Spotify and YouTube myself.

Today, I'm thinking Oingo Boingo.

[Johannes]

I'm not even sure what we are watching here.

I swear I was watching a motivational video about how you should manage your time wisely. From there I came to the Greatest Fight Scenes in Movie History to this. Whatever it is. A French band, obviously. Rather catchy imagery, don't you think?

 

[Short Bus]

Good way to end a Saturday…or start a Sunday.

This is Tonbruket live in Örebro Sweden 2016-10-11. The track is Sinkadus.

Johannes, the text is by a famous poet, Léo Ferré. Unfortunately there is no mention of Ferré in the vidéo.
Ferré was quite political. Worth looking into. There are a few videos of Ferré on YT.
Thank You Satan
Léo Ferré
Pour la flamme que tu allumes
Au creux d'un lit pauvr' ou rupin
Pour le plaisir qui s'y consume
Dans la toile ou dans le satin
Pour les enfants que tu ranimes
Au fond des dortoirs chérubins
Pour leurs pétales anonymes
Comme la rose du matin
Thank you Satan
Pour le voleur que tu recouvres
De ton chandail tendre et rouquin
Pour les portes que tu lui ouvres
Sur la tanière des rupins
Pour le condamné que tu veilles
A l'Abbaye du monte en l'air
Pour le rhum que tu lui conseilles
Et le mégot que tu lui sers
Thank you Satan
Pour les étoiles que tu sèmes
Dans le remords des assassins
Et pour ce coeur qui bat quand même
Dans la poitrine des putains
Pour les idées que tu maquilles
Dans la tête des citoyens
Pour la prise de la Bastille
Même si ça ne sert à rien
Thank you…

...and this is Oddjob in 2016-10-22 live in Hallsberg Sweden. The track is Where did you sleep last night.
