Spotify Music- What You Playing?

This is not a "new jam" but..... Dead City Radio by Rob Zombie ? lolol

I like that song...liked it when it first came out. The video is cool too!

Just saw a good document on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Gonna go back to the beginning when they started, some great stuff there. Gonna listen to each song as it was on the record. Kids these days don't know what that is about. "What they have other songs?" Thought it was just "Free Falling""

I'm just gonna follow along.

I'm pretty old school when it comes to music, I'm not a fan of tecno and like it played live. I like a wide variety but rock and blues are my favorites and can never seem to find anything new. Except maybe that British chick whose name I forgot, and she isn't that new.

Glad I still like old stuff Tom Petty was a great, Clapton, Santana, Allman Brothers, Throughgood, Stevie Ray, even the Stones, Springsteen I do love too, Joe Crocker...there are so many more from back then but when I think of new stuff my mind goes blank.

I've listened to a lot of Rap with kids in the house and what I liked there was few and far between. Country is ok if ya want to have a pity party and rockabilly makes me want to drink beer. Now bluegrass is awesome if you're in the mood.

Sorry I suffered a bad head injury last year and am just now able to listen to some music. For one solid year I listened to nothing and am excited as I can listen for awhile now.. I go on YouTube and search stuff. Today listening to Allman Brothers. https://youtu.be/pb22MYqdugE with Clapton.

Went with Steely Dan - Aja

Whats gonna happen tomorrow?

Heh - I just got home from listening to some live acoustic music at a Marriott Hotel restaurant lounge in Bethany Beach, Delaware. Good stuff by a truly excellent guitarist - with a good voice - doing a mix of oldies and contemporary tunes. I can actually play/sing some of the songs he does but I am a rank amateur. He can also perform hard rock (with a band he is part of) but the venue precluded loud music tonight. In a little while I'll have Alexa play some Acoustic Blues from my Pandora account for some easy listening while I finish a book I've been reading.

And so goes a Wednesday evening. :)

not familiar with spotify music , use slacker radio on pc .https://www.slacker.com/stations

Reo Speedwagon Take It On The Run

Heard this one today... but my favorite is probably Can't Fight This Feeling.

And YES I am a huge Tom Petty fan! I Won't Back Down :)

Recently, I'm endlessly replaying Korean bands CNBLUE and Nell.

Also, everything Adam Lambert, and Electric Light Orchestra/ELO -- especially Out Of The Blue.

You won't go too far wrong with Steely Dan, AFAIC.

If I'm going to be a proselyte, I'm going to encourage 666 by Aphrodite's Child.

Recorded by Vangellis and Demis Roussos with Lucas Siderias on drums and Silver Koulouris on guitar An infamous turn by Irene Papas as "the Beast" on Infinity in 1971. This double album is a masterstroke.

The concept of the album is a traveling circus that performs the Book of Revelations in a tent show. Then, it turns out that the end of times is happening outside the tent, eventually it breaks through and art and life merge.

As you listen to this you'll at first be put off by the fusion of East and Western music styles (which is what so many have tried to do, See Paul Butterfield/ Mike Bloomfield's East/West and most of George Harrison's and much of Pete Townshend's Baba work ) All things Eastern having been vilified by the RC Catholicism due to the schism and the Crusades, westerners associate eastern music with "evil."

As you go on though you'll hear snippets of songs that hadn't yet come out (Edgar Winters' Frankenstein, Steve Millers Fly Like An Eagle Townshend, Butterfield and many others) my favorite being in the song Altamont, where the sax player sounds like the sax player on Sticky Fingers. And the lyrics saying "We're the people, the Rolling people ... The Angel People" (If you don't know the story of the Rolling Stones and Altamont... Google it)

It is an incredible Hour and 20 minutes of music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaGyN6nnz3Y

And you don't need to subscribe!

I love Spotify. Earlier today I was rocking out to a CCR/John Fogerty playlist I made. "Born on the Bayou" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" never get old!

No Spotify. Just Pandora.

Liking Phillip Phillips and his new album Collateral. It's magnetic! :)

Right this second Billy Jean, M Jackson.

But I came to ask, when was the last time you explored the B52s?

Their pop, but that guy is a freaking genius. Fred Schneider hid more theatrics per cubic data bit than most. And nearly all of Pop.

Give me an idea where your parameters, guitar. Vocal? Girl bands. Motown. Stevie Wonder?

Can't go to wrong with Marvin Gaye.

Howz your James Brown? Another absolute.

Only interested in current millennium?

Just listened to NF's (clean rapper) Perception album and a bunch of Depeche Mode's early stuff. I hate the ads on Spotify, but don't want to pay to upgrade. Otherwise I like Spotify. I also use Amazon Music... no ads :)

Been running into later Eminem.

Now I understand what my older sister was talking about. Can't call my self a fan of rap. But I can hear the Bob Dylan poet in his songs and styles.

older b52's is cool ..legal tender,queen of Las Vegas,Party out of bounds,52 Girls

Dave Gahan - solo work especially Paper Monsters Album
Peter Gabriel - Last Temptation of Christ is great for background music
Gary Numan - Splinter Album

666 by Aphrodite's Child was cool...

love Citizen Cope, black sabbath, Gerry Rafferty, Depeche Mode,The Cars, Cheap Trick,Van Halen, Iggy Pop,Chris Cornell, The Police,The Clash,Boston,The Cult,Tears for Fears, Planet P, and on and on...whatever hits in the moment.

secret Plasmatics fan

(((Liking Phillip Phillips and his new album Collateral. It's magnetic! :) ))))


Is nice too....nice balance

I'm a big fan of Eminem, Uther. It's one musical taste (along with 21 Pilots) that I have in common with my kids.

Last night I was digging some Hendrix, esp. the acoustic version of "Hear My Train A Comin'"

All My Sons (so like Led Zepp)
Otherkin (especially I Was Born)

...but mostly jazz piano - Jan Johansson, Keith Erskine, and McCoy Tyner!

Joseph Hinton,

When my daughter's were young (Jr high and before) we were riding on vacation with a CD playing ( one of those Now That's What I Call Music deals.) And song after song was this male dominated All b's be hos messaging.

I took the CD out and flung it out the window.

It was an Eminem song that was the final straw.

So when I hear him now, due to the project I'm working on. I can appreciate what he's saying mostly because what he's saying is "That stuff was all an act!"

I didn't want my daughter's to grow up thinking it was ok for a boy to refer to you in that way. (Which is what kills me about #MeToo)

Kip,

Howz your Jeff Beck?

From Truth to Wired and Jan Hammer, to Guitar Shop to the cryptic of Who Else, You Had It Coming and Jeff, where he cycles through nearly every genre and gives them the Guitar treatment.

I don't know what kind of noise you're looking for, or if you want to find depth and inspiration in a collection.

But if you're looking for something different from what you have, and you don't have Jeff Beck. He will do it.

Thank you Uther, just looking for a new leaf new journey. I know the history of Jeff Beck and the praise guitar players alway give him. I will give him a better go.

Uther...liked the had it coming best...jumped over to Pete Townshend- Empty Glass - Missed that...

Tonight's soundtrack = Oingo Boingo!

That is the very definition of the Chelsea Hotel!

Didn't Syd kill Nancy there? I'm assuming you are aware of the legend that was the Chelsea Hotel. Am I wrong? I think the son was just recently forced to relinquish control. He had followed in his father's footsteps of keeping tenants without rent, because of their artistic (in a wide variety of definitions) worth to the human race.

That's where Dylan stayed up for days writing Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands for you (Sara)

I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Stayin' up for days in the Chelsea Hotel
Writin' sad-eyed lady of the lowlands for you

As to what the song Desolation Blues is actually about. There is so much symbolism there that I don't have the literacy to relate. It would be embarrassing if it weren't Dylan. But, I did always just assume it was his version of "Cannery Row" or skid row or Hell's Kitchen.

Thing is that I was never a fan of Dylan's harmonica playing until I reheard it for the first time in this new paradigm. I think I can understand what the noise sounded like in Dylan's head. But that is what drives Dylan away from fans. Because they think they know him by thinking they know his music. Still, I was shocked by the experience! It absolutely blew my mind.

Actually that's an interesting adjunct to the conversations about personality being reflected in the art.

For instance, do/did Dylan's fans know him even though he did not know them? And likewise, did he really know them better than he would have wanted to admit, in that they shared impressions of the world? Was the Dylan fan a fan because of his personality? Did Dylan presume that they were only fans because of his pop persona (could you blame him?)

Well I think it would be interesting to contemplate anyway...

Sibelious. I'm not unfamiliar. I'll try this with the new system and report to you on the other side of the weekend (unless it turns out to be so good I can't wait.)

Jon Glaser,

Metalica and Tears For Fears!

Isn't Metalica why they're crying?

Have you ben officially diagnosed Bi Polar? (Just kidding!) (but seriously...) KIDDING! (no I'm not) Just kidding you ::-)

Can't seem to make any links work. Oh well. Deleted.

That link work for you? It's garbled for me. Tried it direct too. :-(

yes in a weird way, I jump around alot, my attention span is short these days...
just something to pass the time with, bored of TV

Kip, that is Billy Idol, right? Or do you contain an uncanny resemblance?

I don't really use spotify...
i just put a bunch of my old cds i have from the 90's..and copied them onto my computer.. i buy cds from amazon and then once i buy them i put the files in my music file.
My fav band is Faultlines.

just call me William Broad, I use to be Joan Jett

Same here Alice. The collection not the Faultlines. Never heard them. Any advice where to start?

That's what his name is? Huh. Saw him live once. But only as the Ace Face at Quadrophenia (twice, now I think about it) in '96.

He was fun. I remember dancing with a fist, back then.

The Beatles are on YouTube!

The Beatles albums are on YouTube!



Comes down to it I have all the Beatles Albums from when they sold the collection on CD...

But The Beatles are on YouTube! Get 'em while they're hot.

Jeff Beck Hotrod Honeymoon

Where the guitarist attempts to create, in the minds of his audience, a video of an old time movie.

There are two voices doing at least the multiple sides of one character each. Spoken only. He manages to attach so many iconic sounds as to guide your memory through a 90 minute movie in 3 minutes and thirty five seconds.

Master of the form.

Peter Erskine
RY X
Bill Laurance
Jan Johansson
Ahmad Jamal
Michael Franks
James Blake ...

I have been busy, no new music...
relying on the classics

doobie brothers lately...

Aphrodite's Child 666.

Mind blowing. The ultimate East meets West musical event.

If you're not familiar, strap yourself in. You have been taught that Eastern music presages evil.

Because the west needed to demonize the Eastern Orthodox church .

Wild ride through rock and roll.

Aphrodite's Child, 666 on YouTube

Right now I'm listening to frogs grunting.

Can't go wrong with that.

Depeche Mode flowing this morn.....dream on

Also, KIP KRAUSE! How you been, man?

I love Spotify! I recently added German jazz to my playlist! I love most jazz /light jazz easy listening jazz Latin jazz ! I love light piano 🎹 or piano and violin type music!

Getting my 80s on right now with a Duran Duran set list

Oooh.. I’d have to go with

The Courteeners

Been on this rollercoaster for a few years now but love their progression from raw indie to a more tighter melodic sound without losing the grittiness
