the old thread....kinda died =\

couldn't find it. new one.


tell us what your listening to right now :)

Got that one in vinyl as well. Good good stuff.


Sounds like.. the 80s?

M. Ward - "Primitive Girl"

And for realz, 80s..

The Stranglers - "Always The Sun"?

Rachel Zeffira - "The Deserters"

(Heard via the HBO show; "Vice Principals".. played in the background of the last scenes of the most recent episode.)

Mike Oldfield - "Women of Ireland"

The entire "Voyager" album/disk is great, in my humble opinion.

Came across the following song via a "Southpark" episode, go figure.. 'cause.. it's hauntingly beautiful:

Denez Prigent & Lisa Gerrard - "Gortoz A Ran"

... ...

Oh, and I have never seen the movie "Black Hawk Down". Know of it, just haven't seen it.. as this song (as noted in the YouTube link) appears on the soundtrack as well.

Getting lost in some of the songs listed in this thread.. this one is not the original "Chain Gang" song.. but, the Pretender's version of.. kind of, sort of..

The Pretenders - "Back On The Chain Gang"

And one more from Chrissie Hynde, and a more recent aural offering.. and.. it's live..

Chrissie Hynde - "You Or No One" [Live on Conan]

(Note: The video and audio is not quite synced.)

Trouble by Ray LaMontagne


Sail Away by David Gray

This popped up just now and I started playing it over and over. Seems like I'm not the first to do so!

We Play Reggae (The In Crowd)

We play reggae
We play reggae
And sing it too

We love reggae
We love reggae
And sing it too

And when you listen to the music
It gives your soul a new beginning
And when you rock into the riddim
Then you will feel that irie feeling

I've Seen All Good People - Yes

I *thought* these sounded the same! Lol... headspin time.

Liquidator (Harry J Allstars)

I'll Take You There (Ladysmith Black Mambazo)

We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song

I need to get my energy up.. so.. music, Maestro.. please..

Paul Van Dyk & BT - "Forbidden Fruit (BT's and PVD's Food of Love Mix)"

As it went along, it reminded me in places of The War of the Worlds... just a bit.

Ghost Town -- The Specials

Well, have to post this one, then..

The Specials - "A Message To You Rudy"

... ...

Sidenote: My mind is forever mixing up Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" and that of Godley & Creme's "Consequences".

Comic group. :-) If you know that, perhaps you know UB40's Rudie.

Will have to try the Godley & Creme album some time.

Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson - "Search Your Heart"

Yep.. that Scarlett Johansson.

You know you wanna be..

gunnarolla & Julia Bentley - "Canadian, Please"

Courtesy of the "Mary & Max" soundtrack..

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - "Perpetuum Mobile"

This..

"Coming Back To Life Guitar Solo in NASA Space Chamber - RATF"

Here's the original song..

Pink Floyd - "Coming Back to Life"

I am so going to loop from the 4:10 mark in till 6:37 and listen to that section a gabillion times.. plus.. one.

... ...

Apparently, someone in the comments section agrees with me..

OldSchoolLad1 month ago
"from 4:14 onwards i can loop that guitar solo forever and ever...."

Need moar guitar..

The Pretenders - "Back on the Chain Gang" (live in London)

This time, the song's guitar sweet spot starts at the 1:01 mark in till 1:07.

(Actually, in my ever so humble opinion.. the guitars are sweeeeet all throughout, including that of the upright steel guitar.)

Leonard Cohen - who else ?
CLICK HERE
RIP

Interestingly.. Saturday Night Live this passed weekend opened their show with this..

Kate Mckinnon Hallelujah on piano as Hillary Clinton

It was.. moving.

The Rolling Stones - "Waiting On A Friend"

Me likes the piano.. lots.

Some new music..

The xx - "On Hold" (performed on Saturday Night Live)

Posted the live performance, 'cause.. live is bestest.

... ...

Just look past the amateur choreography display and enjoy the song, would be my counsel.

Some new stuff by Gord Downie, a member of The Tragically Hip:

"The Stranger" Official Video - Gord Downie - Secret Path


And here is the entire works:

Gord Downie's "The Secret Path"

I can't remember what rabbit hole I went down on YouTube.. but, this was a pleasant surprise..

The Bangles - "Going Down to Liverpool"

And.. one more..

Eric Clapton - "Pretending"

I misread the title as "whats hurtin your ears now" ....lol
I have an answer for that but shall refrain...

Blue Rodeo - "Til I Am Myself Again"

Yep.. I'm loopin' that section of Rickenbacker from the 1:56 mark in till 2:30.. a few times.

Genesis - "Follow you, follow me"

And now, updated..

"Lily & the Snowman"

:o)

I came on to post this vid.. my new fav aural obsession..

The Revivalists - "Wish I Knew You"

Here's a live version from their performance on "Conan"..

The Revivalists - "Wish I Knew You"

Story time.. so..

I heard this song as a stage intro for comedian Josh Widdacombe on "Live at the Apollo".

I know the song, but.. couldn't recall the name or artist. Or, for that matter.. any lyrics.

But.. I looked and listened.

Even tried this site.. "Search for Music Using Your Voice by Singing or Humming" - Midori.

Still no luck.

Then..

I was watching an episode of "Black Mirror", and in a scene where Jon Hamm is giving hints to a guy at a bar wearing an earpiece on how to talk up a girl.. guess what song is playing?

Yep.

This time, though.. some lyrical content. But.. not enough or discernible. The accent and music and dialogue of the scene made it difficult to hear.

Sooooo.. close.

Then..

A day later, doing nothing of import.. a line/lyric pops into me pea brain.. and..

Jona Lewie - "Stop The Cavalry"

Charlie McCoy Harpin' the Blues

Yes Fragile

/\ Great album.

yes a yes fan.

Albert Collins Truckin

Stanton Moore Groove Alchemy

Went down another 70s/80s music rabbit hole on YouTube and came back up with strings and horns..

Electric Light Orchestra - "Across The Border"

Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good

Having listened to the above song, and my recent forays down the 70s/80s YouTube rabbit hole.. this one popped up in the recommended vids..

Seether - "Rise Above This"

... had forgotten about this one.

And actually, got lost.. pleasantly.. for a bit.. listening to some good good ol' 'oldies' and some good good ol' power chords.

\../ ... rock.. and/or.. roll on.

Sigh......Carrie Underwood

I tried to find "Sigh" by Carrie Underwood.. and..

The only reference I came across was on this forum discussion.

Lol.

But.. but..

I do like this one with her singing with Heart (jump to the 1:14 mark in for the start):

Ann Wilson With Carrie Underwood Performing Heart's Power Ballad "Alone"

Megadeth-Peace Sells But Whos Buying

Carrie Underwood no sigh

Ted Nugent-Free for All

Can you paste a link to the Carrie Underwood song?

I am still coming up empty on any searches for a vid, let alone the tune (search terms were; "Carrie Underwood No Sigh").

Got my curiosity peaked now.. as it is something different for you.

Carrying on..

... ...

Another music mystery solved.

Caught these guys on Conan some time back and ended up checking out more of their stuff. Like.. this one:

Silversun Pickups - "Lazy Eye"

And it reminded me of another song, but, couldn't quite remember/recall/figure out which. Until.. mere moments ago:

"The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979"

Headstones - "Blonde & Blue"

Or..

Fourth option from the top ( Headstones - "Blonde On Blue"[sic] ).. is the best audio quality I could find.

I am in love with "Cool Change" by Little River Band ATM...

Me, three. :o)

I have an aural soft spot for vocal harmonies.

And did I make mention of the piano as well? The strings?


So.. here it is:

Little River Band - "Cool Change"

And speaking of vocal harmonies..

Crosby Stills Nash & Young - "Teach Your Children"

How I love that song....cool change.....one of my fav

Listing to it at this moment :o)

Need some energy..

The Motors - "Dancing the Night Away" (Live)

And not so live..

The Motors - "Dancing the Night Away"

Paul Simon - "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes"

Cover me.. I'm going in(to) the YouTube aural rabbit hole..

Queen - "Liar"

And..

Queen - "Seven Seas Of Rhye"

Dave Dobbyn singing Welcome Home

From 2006 - it is a song of welcome to foreigners arriving in New Zealand searching for a new life. It strikes a chord with me - maybe because my family were immigrants and were welcomed with great kindness many years ago.





Tonight I am feeling for you
Under the state of a strange land
You have sacrificed much to be here
'there but for grace,' as I offer my hand
Welcome home, i bid you welcome, i bid you welcome
Welcome home from the bottom of my heart
Out here on the edge
The empire is fading by the day
And the world is so weary in war
Maybe we'll find that new way

So welcome home, see i made a space for you now
Welcome home from the bottom of our heart
Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
Keep it coming now - keep it coming now
You'll find most of us here with our hearts wide open
Keep it coming now - keep on coming now
Keep it coming now - keep on coming now

There's a woman with her hands trembling - haere mai
And she sings with a mountain's memory - haere mai

There's a cloud the full length of these isles
Just playing chase with the sun
And it's black and it's white and it's wild
All the colours are one

So welcome home, i bid you welcome, I bid you welcome
Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
Welcome home, see i made a space for you now
Welcome home from the bottom of our hearts
From the bottom of our hearts

A twofer..

Soul Asylum - "Runaway Train"

Starting at the 2:32 mark in till 2:47, then, till 3:04.. yep, this is gettin' looped.


Let's bring in an entire orchestra for the band, shall we?

'Still got guitars?'

"Yes, of course."

'Strings?'

"Got you covered."

Collective Soul Home - "World I Know"

"The 10 Happiest Songs on Earth, as Decided by a Neuroscientist"

In particular, this one:

Queen - "Don't stop me now (remastered)"

Hmm... surprisingly old songs. Of the seven that I could view on the page, the only one that would really raise my mood is Eye of the Tiger.

Tumbling Down (Gabrielle)... played on repeat alternately with Give and Take. Both from the Play to Win CD.

I don't know why Shazam only recognized one song from the CD? -- Fallen Angel.

A real blast from the past - Focus - Hamburger Concerto.

I have this on CD. Wouldn't you love to paint some scenes from the video?

Gotta hang in till past the 0:46 mark for this one:

Arcade Fire - "Everything Now"

this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjqOsYRQI0o&index=33&list=PL7fqxWtPb4HSHj7MWa8xeAcUT21F9EwU6

Sooooooo smooth...

After twenty years, Radiohead has re-released "OK Computer" with three previously unreleased tracks.

Here's one of them:

Radiohead - "I Promise"

Was reminded of the song to follow while watching; "My Blind Brother". As the soundtrack for "My Blind Brother" was quite aurally reminiscent to my ears.

So.. here's the song..

Mychael Danna feat. DeVotchKa - "The winner is"

... ...

p.s. The movie is 'ok'. Not bad, not great. Some funny moments, though.

What's literally playing at the moment...? Regardless of whether I like it or not:

The Shadowlands (Ryan Adams)

R.E.M. - "Radio Free Europe"

... ...

(*deletes bookmark/favourite*)

Caedes.net is my personal "cloud storage" of sorts.

Kinda, sorta.

The Cars - "Touch and Go" - ABC's "Fridays"

... yep, been down the YouTube 80s aural rabbit hole.

I really like that this one is live.. they done did good good.

Pretty sure that this one has been posted in this thread before by someone.

(*raises hand*)

However, one more time.. for the cello, the harpsichord and the vocal harmonies:

The Smithereens - "Blue Period"

Some more 80s good goodness:

The Box - "My Dreams Of You"

"The Box is a Canadian new wave group from Montreal. Founded in 1981, they achieved commercial success in Canada, recording four charting albums and 10 charting singles between 1984 and 1990."

(Source: Wikipedia)

My new fav song that is currently on track to being played a gabillion times:

Low - "What Part of Me"

New stuff.. that is getting a lot of repeat plays here:

Plan V - "Teletrack" - Cerati - 1998

"Vertigo" - Roken Project

... ...

About Gustavo Cerati..

Gustavo Adrián Cerati (11 August 1959 - 4 September 2014) was an Argentine singer-songwriter, composer and producer, considered one of the most important and influential figures of Ibero-American rock. Cerati along with his band Soda Stereo, were one of the most popular and influential Spanish-language rock and pop groups of the 1980s and '90s."

This is currently hittin' me ears.. a -gain.

But, this time.. the album in it's entirety (kinda, sorta).

Gustavo Cerati - "Plan V"

Track #1 is the standout and is getting the aural repeat treatment.

Followed by tracks 4 & 5.

And now.. this one..

Simply Red - "Something Got Me Started"

... ...

(*deletes one more bookmark that has now been moved over to his personal "cloud storage; aka the "whats hittin your ears now?" discussion thread*)

But.. but.. this is some new stuff!

With an expected album from Alex Cameron dropping some time in September.

Here's an aural prequel offering to the album coming:

Alex Cameron - "Stranger's Kiss (Duet with Angel Olsen)"

This one is getting allllll sorts of aural repeat play here.

Need some happy music..

The Cure - "Friday I'm In Love"

TPAM is not happy if he needs happy music. Here have a cookie :o)

Some more good good music.....


Simply Red - Stars

Currently playing on my iPad via Anker SoundCore 2 speaker:

Pachelbel Canon (James Galway / Glen Spreen version)

I know I keep rabbiting about it but it does raise my spirits.

I need the cure.. doctor.. music, please..

The Cure - "Just Like Heaven"

Have to click to play once on page..

Dayna Kurtz - "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Lovely song and beat Les 🔼

"Do you like to rock?"

'Depends.'

"What about roll?"

'If the mood hits, sure.'

"Ok, then.. let's try this.."

The Partland Brothers - "Honest Man"

Need da.. funk..

Bohannon - "Take the Country to New York City"

... ...

Came across this one, via the series soundtrack; "Master of None". Some good good stuff in there.

"Any 80s synth pop?"

'Sure..'

Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders - "Come On Back This Way feat. Sharon Van Etten"

This is a twofer of sorts..

One.. the song itself:

Bonnie Raitt - "Cool, Clear Water"


The twofer part?

When YouTube's 'suggested/recommended' list of other songs/vids.. reminds you of one that you really liked/like and hadn't heard for a while.

Bonnie Raitt showed up while I was listening/watching a Talking Heads song/vid; "Take Me To The River".

Being battered by a rainstorm at the dead of night. This song surfaced in my mind:

Why Does It Always Rain On Me? (Travis)

ooOOoo.. ooOOoo..

Jethro Tull - "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day"

... ...

Yes, volume levels are required to be adjusted.. upwards.

Cocteau Twins - "Iceblink Luck"

And one more..

DIIV - "Under The Sun"

... ...

(*checks for toes tappin'..*)

... ...

Affirmative.
