Whats playing on your system today?


Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

Deadmau5...but my listening is all over the board...Laurie Anderson...Dire Straits...Nine Inch Nails...Martyn Bennett...Aphex Twin...Roxy Music....Nilsson...Little Feat...The Art of Noise....Randy Newman...Fred Neil...Blue Rodeo....Stabbing Westward...The Tubes...things you'd recognize...things you won't....

One hit wonders...remixes of a single selection, just for 'comparison's sake' (Sneaker Pimps' "6 Underground" is a good example)...LOUD...soft...complex...simple...

Sorry, not much in the way of 'dead white Europeans', although it's appreciated that all stands upon their shoulders.  But I/we do go to the symphony when something of interest is on the bill.  That's always better 'live', as was always intended for the form....

I like variety in my diet. ;)
nutty, re Deadmau5.."I Remember" is one of my favs...softer, but all of his skill at harmonic manipulation in play.  Check out his live concerts on YT for what 'stage craft' has become.  If 'light shows' like that had been around in the '60's, some of us would still be slack-jawed. *L*  And the shows 'explain' his constant and consistent rhythm as a segway theme.  EDM and 'house' are subject to disdain and rightly so, but  he's one of the better artists (yeah, I'll allow that claim) at it.  But I've been accused of bain gramage and being enraged in sonically antisocial proclivities so I could be dis'd as being 'not mutual' or a 'deformed source' of misinformation....;)
OK, y'all...memory lane....
Peter Murphy, "Cuts You Up" (Yup...every time)
The Smiths, "How Soon Is Now?" (Was yesterday soon enough?)
Spooky Tooth, "Waitin' For The Wind" (Gotta love the Hammond hammer...)
Public Image Ltd., "Rise" (Cranky?....Yezz...)
Mink DeVille, "Spanish Stroll" (Zoot suite..)
The Smithereens, "Strangers When We Meet" (Now and forever...)
The Waitresses, "Jimmy Tomorrow" (...and I'm allergic to civilization...)
Fred Neil, "The Other Side of This Life"; Jefferson Airplane, ditto..just for contrast, y'understand...;)
Blodwyn Pig, "Dear Jill" (Slidin' into heaven...)
Blue Rodeo, "What Is This Love" (This is a great one for dusting off the woofers, BTB...)


At this moment...

Supertramp, "Take The Long Way Home"

Spooky Tooth, "Waitin' On The Wind" (Ain't nothin' like a Hammond C4...)

Elton John, "Madman Across The Water"
I realize we're supposed to apolitical here but, given the current situation we've finding ourselves in....IMHO...

Dire Straits (how appropo), 'Industrial Disease'.

I don't it matters which side of the fence you're on...;) 
Deadmau5
Doyle Bramhall II
Sneaker PImps ("6 Underground" remixes)
Aphex Twin
Little Feat
The Art of Noise
Blue Rodeo
...things that were done Well, even if it was a 'one hit wonder'....
Yes, not music.  But I have an excellent explanation...excuse....Jedi mind trick....brainfogger....whatever works....;)

Born, 'raised' in SoCal, and grew 'up' around .5 century ago....
Yup, all that....moved to NoCal and completed the *smirk* next chapters.

Not a camp follower, but.....an appropo interlude....sings volumes...;)

The sound track to this novel I ran into....

And She Never Heard From Him Again (A love story)
(Authors' name redacted)

I'm trying to get the movie rights....
"The Choice Is Yours", The Black Sheep as of Now....followed by Crystal Methods' "Busy Child"....
...for grins, since it popped up in my 'mind' ...I do have a vague consciousness aboard....;)

Save the Life of My Child>Bookends>Simon & Garfunkel

....recalled the 'bass note' that the cut opens with...Spotified it, and nearly knocked my shelf monitors off their perch...

"This No Good!" (quoting Ringo Starr, the  'Hispanic' gardener in the movie Candy....)
(Next best line: "It's Daddy!"  ....of course it Is....*smirk*)

Turned the selection loose on the Main System....and There it Was.

In all it's 'fat glory'....

"...and he flew away...." ;)

CU...

..bumped into an old fave...*S* ....

 

 ...but currently listening to....

 

@dabel , the series of lead riffs on GG&HTF, and the length of it that it totals, gets my Guitar Hero cell phone light...(in lieu of lighters, which just got hot...)...

If an unbalanced board for FBS doesn't wrench his throwing down just under 3 hours of his oeuvre, he can work with a backwards jockstrap and nil else imho. ;)

Gotta +1 the crowd for keeping up with it for the span of it....

....but they're...

 

....damned hipsters, anyway....*LOL*

"....and These are a few of my Favorite Things.....raunchy drum kicks....crazed 'tar tricks....when I'm feeling 'trad'....

I simply resort to my 'favorite' Things....

...and then I don't feel quite mad."

(From the alt "My Feigned Laddie". not shown at your local fart theatah.....)

 

@dabel 

...and the pigs snacked on pate' of Woofin' Wolf after they dug all the slugs out of his sorry butt.....'wasted but not wanting for a well-deserved wind-up in the HollyHills..."  (3rd porker was hip, addressed on Blue Jay Way....it does exist, BTW...)

'Sports visual' stems from 1:45 from the FBS hisself...

🤪....and Sunday (aka, 'FunDay') is very subject to being subjective....

*S*...not quite 'coastal' here. but a good day for 'coasting'...sun's out, the snow's patches are melting away, spouse is  up from Greenville for the weekend....

Listening to an LP!  Omgawd.....'The Duke' Ellington & Orch. jazzing up Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite....some alt Xmas sounds for 12/'22.

(Maybe do an 'intervention' on some retail B&M stores....."Quit playin' that usual jive 'fah la la foolery' and move some feet 'n product!")

....elves dressed in colorful camo, daypacked with cable sets 'n T-byte sticks...

As the sci-guy said during the 'sound & light show' in Close Encounters:

"....and we'll take over this conversation....Now...." *and all manner of noise gets thrown down by the alien Dj...*

Made sense to me...gotta preview that 'out of town' act before they tour the big venues....what's edgy on Earth may not move on Mars.....or suk near Saturn, y'know?

..while thinking alien in nation indignation...there's This mis-tery....

(I don't make this sort of thing, just try to make up a mind about it....*L*)

....coming to a body of water near You....."Smurfs' Up....?!" ;)

Segue into Court & Spark (Nautilus 1/2 spd. master), since spouse bought the recent book on Ms Mitchell...good timing, since she's just at the point in it where this album is being made...*S*)

 

When Joni leaves us, a piece of me goes with....:/

@dabel  Oh, the Demarco "Cowboy"?

Isn't that profoundly strange? *LOL*  
Best guess is #ones' anesthesia has allowed consciousness, but has had a profound side effect on comprehension...👀

The 'crowd' in the water :50+ is ....well, what they is....

(One review of it denied understanding and it made nervous.)
Well, in the end we're all 'out to sea' in some fashion... ;)

Oh....there's this:

...equally strange with the 'humanoid boogie' aspect vs. mis-animation...;)

Enjoy!

Ah, the 'classics'....one might desire another lifetime to explore that/them/those....*s*

@dabel , 'fraid I'm devolved into the depredations of the modern misuse of the art of noise...draim bamaged beyond incomprehension....🤪

(Got exposed to parodies of 'classical fiascos' long ago, far away, and already 'far gone' off into the blur of prized 'rock-ribbed oldies' to the point of squatting on a corner with a cup of Bic pens with the scribbled sign:

I listen to Bach & Toscanini
Please Help!

...standing by for 2.22.22.....contemplating "Don't Look Up" as a sly warning....*L*

Into the new week, 👍 J

Alpha Zulu. Phoenix.

The deep fakes are just frosting, and an art education if you read the comments. ;)

...but you still might want the lyrics...

 

2 recent disturbed things.....

 

...prepares you for this...perhaps....

Will Sparks & New World Sound-LSD

Open in a new window...you might thank me....

The lyrics are what you think you're hearing.  I liked the first comment by manofonetitle.... ;)

 

Having gone Tuesday night to see "Medieval', I feel a certain connection to this...*L*

...certainly closer to reality than GOT, new or old...

...and dragons are crappy pets, really...
