Weirdly, I have been listening to Peter Gabriel lately, inc. this one. And cool PF tracks too.
One of the other classics...

Dave it's to do with the URL you use to embed the video, if you remove the "s" then you still get the link/title.
Been going through my music library and blasted this song out, still as good today as it's always been, this is the newer mix version.

Not bad, preferred the second one. First one reminds me of Utah Saints back in the day. Not necessarily a bad thing, just kind of out of place now. Maybe I am just getting old.
Heard this on the radio (BBC radio 2) and I like, got my foot tapping.

One of the few non silly Eminem songs I like. I wonder how much of that song is true.
Still sounds better with the swearing in.
Yes good song, sorry about posting the censored version, it's lame. Apparently he became more sombre when his friend died. A talented word-smith all the same.
Pretty sure we have had this, but hey it's a great song.

I've been listening to them a lot, I missed them the first time around - Lovely Head is another one I like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqovGKdgAXY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqovGKdgAXY)
Yeah I quite liked Suede when I'm in the mood for something more mellow (for me ;D )
Going through my MP3 collection in Kodi the other day and came across this, I doubt many here have heard it but to me it brings back memories, also I had forgotten the lyrics which still make plenty of sense to me today.
Yes I do post some off the wall tunes at times :P

:LOL: Made me chuckle, not seen it before.
That one is sort of like a train wreck; horrifying to watch, but you just can't seem to look away. ;)
Good tunes. Except Dave's one. I think they were higher than the moon. :D
When that one came out I was living with a mate of mine named Adam. That song drove him mad whenever I would play it, but his girlfriend loved it (and she was extremely cute) so playing it sort of killed 2 birds with one stone, so to speak. :D {insert evil laugh here}
Made me chuckle too, nice to have something silly now and again :thumbsup:
Going through my MP3's again, look out :LOL:

No more Bowie :-[ :-\
Here's something I had not heard from Bowie, from 2002 I think - it's nice knowing there's some gems out there for me to still discover :)
I really like this song.

Yes, she is lovely isn't she :D
Lovely in another way, Fallout 4 Theme (Dubstep Remix), I like this a lot, probably because I've heard the tune so much from the game already but it's also a nice, slow, subtle Dubstep ... no really, it is this time.

Just for the music, is it me or are these comparison videos getting better music on them these days.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2O8QWpxQ8I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2O8QWpxQ8I)
They do seem to be getting better music, but I wonder if some of them are using tracks without respecting copyright. Just sayin'... :P
Not just me then :)
I think YouTube have some policy that deals with copyright but I might be wrong.
I once heard that there is a policy whereby artists can opt to leave a track online and then chose to gain advertising royalties on it.
Been hearing this on the radio and it kind of grew on me, the video isn't bad either.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhrqbcufZXo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhrqbcufZXo)

Always liked the Fine Young Cannibals, the bass player had a dance style all of his own.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibx5-nTLIns (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibx5-nTLIns)
Not heard them or that song for a while. A Mark James (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_James_(songwriter)) song, apparently. Written for Elvis.
A very distinctive voice.
Yes great voice, can't mistake it. Here's another Elvis song by a couple of Brits.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2aMaMkDwTA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2aMaMkDwTA)
And their new one...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JF3Gj8U0YA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JF3Gj8U0YA)
And not a bad tune too :)
Found this today. Oh, how I laughed. How not to take miming seriously. Some rude words if you can lip read. Data will like this most I reckon but for those that don't know the guitarist is the one who actually sings the song, not the bassist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gfIgA-PYyQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gfIgA-PYyQ)
The comments made me laugh.
So we lost another one :( - here's my favourite Prince song.
! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEHCNMuX-64#)
RIP Prince, outstanding musician.
Here in the states, the news networks have been inundating their listeners with Prince songs for nearly 24 hours straight (or so it seems), and I swear that I've heard people reporting all sorts of odd things about his death. I've even heard 3 different news reports giving three different ages, from 49 to 53 to 57 years old. I pray to god that the zombie apocalypse comes, with Prince at the vanguard, to eat the brains of all those stupid gits who can't get their facts straight.
57 says our media and the wiki. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_(musician))

Still can't believe he's gone.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8NZa9wYZ_U
I've been trying to think of a song that sums up how I'm feeling right now, this hits the spot:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8KQmps-Sog
It seems the Stone Roses are on tour and have new material out. Keep hearing this one on Radio X.
https://youtu.be/R0XZ9qjMil8
Listened to it, seems like it might grow on me. Would have liked to see them live but the tickets go so quick.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aeETEoNfOg
Another one from James. Does anyone else think they were one on the best bands of the 90s ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crZxRIYchjQ
In a word, no. :D
Here's one from me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80A26-uo-CA
Fair enough Snowy :LOL:
I think I may have been raving in the 90s. Going back to 1981 I got this gem (was whilst looking for breaking glass).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn3rdWwW9D0
It's strange how some of these old tracks seem to still make sense today, maybe even more so now than when they were released.
I give you:
The Vapors - Turning Japanese
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLQeb5NGt3E
And
XTC - Making Plans For Nigel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHTrJGeKhYA
Yeah I get that sometimes with songs. Some songs I have been hearing the lyrics wrong for years as well I discover.
I was listening to XTC the other day, this one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Fp-omNXCw
OK so I think it's finally summer, so my offering for good summer feel good music is...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf73xqZvk6k
Cool choon. And their new-ish one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtdJAyQxx1k
Best I can find. YT doesn't appear to have the single.
Not bad, could be a grower.
How about this one...also due to the fact they are making a follow up film to be released next year.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTFrCbQGyvM
Born Slippy, that is one heavy tune, has to be in the top 5 of all-time heavy songs :LOL:
Around the same time there was this, nice piano, among other things :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18W9WYw9HaA
Yes in truth I can't listen to the full nearly ten minutes of Born Slippy, I mainly like the beginning part.
Nice piano in that one you posted I agree. Was some good dance tunes around then.
I'm going back to the 80s and XTC with my other favourite (inc the last 2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecBzixClly0
Great song, amazing how long ago that was. They had an album called Oranges & Lemons which I remember from when I first lived in London.
Don't know if anyone else likes Jimi, but this is one of my favourite songs and a good summer tune I think. Just don't go on holiday by mistake ! Points for the reference I just made and the link to this song. :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV4_xaYynY
Didn't exactly get in to Hendrix, do like some of his tunes.
Your puzzle however has got me :scratch-head:
While I'm here, I stumbled across this, ok I admit it, I like Ribena :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uvr8wnjoMw
QuoteYour puzzle however has got me
It was a bit obscure in truth. It's a quote from the film
Withnail & I with Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann. There is a funny encounter where Withnail (Grant) declares that they have come on holiday by mistake. The link is that when they start their holiday they career out of London on the motorway blaring
All Along The Watch Tower out of their clapped out Jag.
I've moved from Ribena to Vimto :D
Bit of Blur anyone ?

I like that song too. :thumbsup:
Here's one for a Summer evening.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uJ61jgFCMM
Data, Day Dream In Blue reminded me of this track...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIBcarAwsjw
Yes those two tracks are very similar aren't they, as well as the same bass lines they both have the fake record crackles and pops. Some nice guitar work in Fade Into You I thought too.
Here is a good vid I came across the other day, I like Ultravox and the video goes well with the tune.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf8PNsOn6w8
It's been a while since I offered anything up here, so I reckon it's time I did so. In fact, how about a couple? First, some old-time country music from back in the 80's:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0ReziWL7E
Then, as I was listening, the fiddle part toward the end made me want to listen to some Lindsey Stirling, so here's a good one from her:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvipPYFebWc
This one was really fun, and the first time I'd seen it, so that's all the more reason to share. :D
I liked Lindsey Stirling, she grows on me and I enjoyed the video :thumbsup:
I'm not a big country fan unless it's Johnny Cash...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7K4jH7NqUw
Here's a great uplifting tune.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POIIGYt5RlE
Is it just me or does the guy on the right, in the last video, look a bit like David Tennant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tennant) ?
Here's another uplifting little tune with a dash of humor for good measure, loved Morecambe & Wise, proper good old family humor.

Thought Snowy might like this or at least find it interesting. As Steven Rothery from Marillion says in the comments...
Quote
To really understand this video you need some background. This was at a Marillion weekend convention and was completely spontaneous. My good friend Matt Prior started playing the intro acoustic riff and I joined in. You can see Mark Kelly trying to explain the vocals to Steve Hogarth who wasn't really familiar with the song. When the crowd started singing he shrugs his shoulders and walks off. Pete, Ian and Mark (who was a bit vague with the chords) then also join in. It shows what an amazing audience we have!?

How about a fun and wacky tune from 1992.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjEDX-2M7Qk
Couldn't sleep last night, ended up trawling YouTube for some music vids, found this, Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene full album live in 3D, I don't have any of them old 3D glasses but I still watched it all. Really good to see how it used to be done with yhe old analog synths 8)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HJ2Q8GQwts
Used to play that album a lot when I was a teen.
Came across this today via the YT auto play - which I find a good way to find new music with no effort. Seems to end up with Bon Jovi eventually whatever the genre :LOL: - otherwise a nice addition.
It's a reworking of The La's There She Goes.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMfXeuv4kZE
I haven't heard that song in a while, Freddy! Thanks! (though I prefer their song, "Kiss Me")
Since we both liked that here's another one. It's not often bands can make a cover better than the originals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bdOefF_tyU
Interesting covers.
This is my fav atm.

Very nice, Freddy. I rather like that young lady as well. Here's another one from the girls:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu2H8nNFW0U
One of my favorite classic rock ballads. :)
As I was posting Dave posted, oh well I will post it anyway and spoil the fun :LOL:
I've always preferred brunettes myself :D Nice tune though :)
Been hearing this new tune by Sting on the radio, thought the Police had got back together when I first heard it, it's grown on me, a tad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtEIuz71tEk
That's a nice version by the sisters Dave, thanks 8)
I'd go see them if they played over here some time.
And Data, I hear what you mean. Seems that our Sting has got his Mojo back. It's taken long enough - aside from a couple of songs post Police I have to say I usually find his stuff dreary. This sounds a lot better to my ears.
Something to play loud 8)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCOSPtyZAPA
I think this is something special. Without doubt a fantastic drummer is Caroline Corr. :worship:
I've had a drum kit and I know she must be super fit, because that would have broken my back. Easy to miss how much work a drummer puts into a group and song. I think this video shows how great she is. Best viewed full screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM_83SBxjEg
Clearly I was the only one who was impressed. Well Pogue Mahone the lot of you !
Yes that was a cleverly planned segue to this...
May everyone have a Merry Christmas ;D

I've been through the vids you posted above, it was nice to just watch the drummer doing their thing through the entire song and .. I agree, Caroline Corr is a fit drummer :D
A song for Europe 2017

Nice songs, nice to see they have some new music, we are getting a lot of older songs sung by new singers over here and I was thinking they are loosing their creativity.

Found this one by Goldfrapp.

Not heard that one, quite nice.
Been listening to this recently, reminds me of GTA Vice City. I've been having a 80s throw back in general ;D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQbiNvZqaY
Enjoyed that Freddy, Not what I was listening to in the 80's but with my headphones on this morning it sounded great. Thanks :)
And yes, a bit GTA Vice City to boot.
It was actually in the game soundtrack, on the radio :)
I might pick it up on Steam for a bit of nostalgia.
Here's another from the game, good driving music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfgf9HatIHI
Don't know if you all will like this, you know how eclectic my taste is, but I like the Ting Tings a lot and had been playing this for a while now over the Spring. It might surprise you.

Quite good. I prefer the thumping base drop on this one...

Some summer driving music, I've loaded up a 16GIG flash drive with some of my favorite tunes on it for the Leaf, this one is getting played a lot 8)

Funny comment on the YT page made me chuckle...
So much spam in the comments I need a can opener.
HeHe, yeah those spam comments were funny ;D
Here is another song I'm playing a lot in the car, it was from this years Eurovision, I think it should have won, it's a great song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbomdE81_mA
A classic dedicated to Data.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs-eFRbgn6M
"...I hate to ask but are friends electric? Mine's broke down..." :D
And one I caught on the radio and quite liked for it's gritty lyrics and confused beat. NSFW NSFK caught a naughty word in there somewhere.

That's one of my favourite lyrics too ;D

Orbital Copenhagen sounds like a classic Orbital track but I get the feeling it's new, good tune :thumbsup:
A new one by the Numan.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHomCiPFknY
There is something Goldfrapp like about that Numan tune, I like it :)
I thought it was very post-apocalyptic, myself. I also like it. :thumbsup:
I thought the FreakShow vid was more post apocalyptic. Not the vision I had of the song from the radio.
Both have new albums out. Ghost Poet's is Dark Days and Canapés (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Days-Canapes-Ghostpoet/dp/B072KM48PQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1504890955&sr=1-1&keywords=dark+days+and+canapes), Gary Numan's is Savage (Songs from a Broken World) (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Savage-Songs-Broken-World-Numan/dp/B073R6ST9M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504890919&sr=8-1&keywords=Savage+%28Songs+from+a+Broken+World%29)
I've been listening to more of the tracks from Gary Numan's album, that man has become God of the synths, I think I might just buy it, it's good and about time I purchased a new album.
This is excellent.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItYaWgCUx7M
I went through a few songs, some I liked and some I didn't care for, my tastes seem to be similar to Data's. Gray Numan seemed like he was the most popular which I also thought was pretty good.
The excellent reminds me of something I've heard sung by a different person, this was not as good as what I'd heard earlier. She is a good looking girl, very nice voice.
Carl2
Carl please feel free to post some of your favorite songs, you are right too, it's a cover of Chris Isaak - Wicked Game.
The band is called London Grammar and the vocalist is Hannah Reid, she seems to have an amazing voice to my ears.
Here is the original:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D3Nl1GZzuw
I must admit I didn't like her voice that much either, much prefer Isaak's version.
Nice that you are showing this topic some love though :)
I look through you tube and came across Isaak's version, guess I was thinking of a female singer ad didn't realize it was him. Lots of people sang the song. Not sure if it's the words, music or what but it gets your attention. Favorite singer would be Ray Charles but he is gone. I noticed there are no longer horns in the music.
Carl2
It's FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!!!! time for something fun from the 80's :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyCEexG9xjw
And while we're at it, a new twist on an old favorite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0X3CLJVMJU
WARNING There are brief images of... well, let's just say this one is borderline NSFW. :P
Never heard the first one but cool version of Turning Japanese by the gorgeous Kirsten :P
Great tunes Dave 8)
I don't recall that first one either, maybe it did not make it across here.
Well if you enjoyed the video I'm glad I could introduce you to something "new". :)
I think I'm turning Japanese too :thumbsup:
They make rubbery lovely cars :hats-off:
Regarding the original song, these days it seems to make more sense than ever before, why ? because it was by the The Vapors :D
In the end it seems everything links in one way or another :eeeek:
A new song to me also, nice shade of blue in her hair.
Carl2
These look pretty amazing on a big screen if you feel like being entranced for a while.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H2PHX2rYFY&t=1210s
Pretty long but how is the video generated?
Carl2
Yes very long, I don't think I'd watch it for that long, I just had it on while I was relaxing for a while. But to answer your question, it's this :
https://gold.electricsheep.org/
Blast from the past. Best selling 12" of all time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYH8DsU2WCk
A absolute classic Freddy, I believe I had the 12 inch too. :thumbsup:
Here is an interesting version of the track, a modern recording using old instruments, pretty good too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHLbaOLWjpc
I really like that version of Blue Monday, Data. :thumbsup: Good find.
Yeah I had heard that one before and enjoyed it too :thumbsup:
Been listening to old Ultravox and John Foxx here. A fav...

Got all these old Ultravox tunes in the car.

Freddy, Always the Sun, one of my favorite Stranglers songs now :thumbsup:
Dave, thanks for that video, now I feel all ready for the future :D
Talking of the future did you guys study the Fallout 4 hand book, "What to do when the bombs drop" I did for 1200 hours :o, here is a quick reminder.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVC4slehaXI ;D
:LOL:
Since I stated playing LOTRO via Steam I've done 800 hours, but it's much more than that as I first stepped into Middle Earth over ten years ago. My game time is in the order of months not hours :o
We have an annual winter festival with snowy region and quests, outfits and special things. People are riding around on white stags and throwing snowballs at each other. ;D
I know Data likes this one and it's nice and cheery. We're all young at heart here afterall :)

Oh now that is a wonderful tune :thumbsup: 8) ;D
Here we are then, this is the song that will see the UK not win Eurovision 2018.
I'm thinking the Nazi salute should go down well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLGEx2x8xoo
Why don't we just get the Pet Shop Boys to do something - or is it still only for amateurs ?
It's okay, but that's the last time I will hear it probably. Thought I heard a bit of auto tune in there too.
The salute thing was funny mate :LOL:
The salute thing is a little uncharitable but funny. Wishy washy song with wishy washy lyrics, could do well (not). What about Gary Numan? He's had some good ones lately.
Here's a song I like atm. I believe David Byrne is touring with this soon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euEgyXoOonk
I liked that :thumbsup:
And yes I've seen Gary Numan has some new tunes, but haven't listened to any yet.
Chemical Brothers anyone ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5FyfQDO5g0
I know the tune, don't think I've ever seen he vid. Both cool.
This is one of my fav vids of theirs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S43IwBF0uM
That's very cool 8)
Fond memories of this :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHV0zs0kVGg
Ahh the Blues Brothers, they had that car with the massive speaker on top didn't they :D
Talking of cars, blast this out from your Leaf, just to let the public know you are coming, Data top tip :thumbsup:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h4w23OKVks
That would certainly do the trick :LOL:
How about a (the) cool dude dancing ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCDIYvFmgW8
And back to the Chemical Brothers. Keep hearing this one on the O2 advert.
https://youtu.be/s_jIGgB5NyQ
Apparently when The Beatles were working on the melody and things for Yesterday they used the lyrics...
"scrambled eggs / oh my baby how I love your legs / not as much as I love scrambled eggs"

Leftfield - Original
Can you believe this song is 21 years old, doesn't sound it to me, I must be getting old.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SILVQpqmH7U
Found this McCartney one done last year by swedemason. (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoUqzYqTYp9SE9RTkUYusZA)

Reminds me of that Master Chef one ;D
First song on MTV played live in 2004 for the first time since they did it in the studio...

OK I know it's Liverpool, but still. A nice one for Easter.

Something slightly different. This is the song you get at the end of the game Portal.
I've not played the game, but a girl I know streams herself playing it and I watched a few of those sessions - looked like a lot of fun and an original idea for a game.
This song I found very catchy :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI
I've got both Portal and Portal 2 on Steam. Fun games, really. I think you might enjoy playing them, Freddy. :)
The Portal song is a bit weird and cute at the same time, how did they pull that off, I like it though :)
This one is just weird but has a really catchy guitar riff, first heard it in the game Juiced.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSv3Oez4O-4
I like that, sort of reminds me of some Prodigy and a little KLF 8)
@Dave, yes I think the first one is on my wish list, I haven't played games for a few weeks at the moment though.
Not sure what made me think about think about this song, maybe something about there will be a blue moon coming.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0fy1HeJv80
From way back when
Carl2
Great song Carl :thumbsup:
Glad you liked it, here's another for you The Happy Organ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQxvisyl4Pk
There was a time where they would make the musical instrument sound like a voice but I can't think of a name at this time. Latter in years Stevie Wonder invented a computer device that could sound like any instrument.
Carl2
Another nice one and one I have not heard before. I like a lot of the instrumentals from this period - very uplifting :)
Nice change of style there Carl :thumbsup:
Here are some more Tom Tom Club, a woman on bass and a catchy little tune.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0Fs8IFTFDE
There's part of Tom Tom Club that song, like the chorus that reminds me of another song, something Peter Gabriel maybe. Hmm.
Anyway, I usually don't like covers but I like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhMEKiIb86I
Here's the song from the end of Portal 2 8)

Don't know if you guys like Happy Mondays. The best "Madchester" band for me, closely followed by The Stone Roses. Photo finish.
Ryder I don't think liked the Madchester thing and I always found it a bit corny. Never saw them live but a few years later I saw Black Grape somewhere in London, who knows where, but it was basically the Mondays revamped including Bez - who I swear looked at me at one stage.
Anyway, here's a choon from the Mondays :

Here's one to kick off Summer with...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW5yLvoJMD4
:thumbsup:
I've been enjoying this over the past couple of weeks. Nice and up beat song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c0__RenjD0
Another feel good Beach Boys song for your pleasure :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9E1by7PocE
I might be the only one that likes this, maybe Snowy too.
Something a bit more out there :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5RuWLb6z0Y
That really was out there ;D
Continuing with my up beat theme...
I was in a pub with this band somewhere in Cork, Ireland. Cork had a little indie thing happening there for a while. My girlfriend's sister had a record shop and we used to hang out there back in the 90s, so they knew the band through that too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjYat5b7hYY
Anyone like The Who ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhdllX-u89E
Listening to this, nice song for a Summer evening. Around this time there were some great tunes being made.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZAajrxvDs4
I like the John Foxx one. I have to like St. Etienne as it's my name sake (St. Stephen in French). Bit poppy for me though.
More my thing but not available until September.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGYZp3QqhqE
I think that tune would be great in a club 8)
Here's one for you all.
I liked this comment made on YouTube:
"If I owned a space station I would play this in the lobby."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4U19zwFENs
Snowy, I liked the new Orbital tune a lot :thumbsup:
Freddy, now I feel totally chilled out 8)
Here is something quite uplifting and yes it is a music vid :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdF8--oMwxk
That is nice :) :thumbsup:
Soaring & uplifting keyboards anyone ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ir9HC9vYg
Good tune that Freddy, I blasted it through my headphones this morning :thumbsup:
Yes I play that loud too, great sound.
Since we had some Orbital here's one of theirs I like very much.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGXgCuTCrj8
Ahh! the mighty Orbital, great tune :thumbsup:
Here's another great tune :)

The Prodigy are back on the scene doing what they do so well.

How about some new Aphex Twin?

No, only the instrumental version.
A few years back now we had this song posted. Time for a reprise I think.

In the previous posting of this song Dave had a great story:
Quote from: DaveMorton on February 25, 2013, 19:02:11 PM
Interesting side note: When I was a child, I lived in eastern Oregon, and one of my Dad's many jobs was to deliver propane to various places, and one of those places was the location where they filmed Paint Your Wagon (where that video came from). One day, some old, crotchety, filthy "hippie" (according to my Dad, at least), who accepted the delivery of propane and signed the receipt. Later on, he found out that the receipt had been signed by none other than Lee Marvin. So my Dad got his autograph, and couldn't keep it. :)
Good to hear WaltzInBlack and Paint Your Wagon is epic, though not seen it in ages.
Heard this on the radio, looks like The Prodigy are around again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAm48rkUBl4
Can see that going down well live. Prodigy, a band I wish I had seen back in the day, no idea why we didn't get around to them. 8)

I generally like things a little bit off beat but for me that was a bit much, too far out for me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3-5YC_oHjE
Classic U2, still not good at finding thing though.
Heard a few from this guy that I like. The vid is weird too on this one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yhchpgY5kw
Bizarre video but I liked that ;D
Agreed a strange vid, both words and video, I like it also.
Thought I'd put this one in for Thanksgiving, rather old but I'd seen it in ads lately.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVieCIyWO-U

I know you like Ian Brown (as do I) and that is his new effort. As for "shitty flute", even a mother would hate their child for making that racket.
I do yes, I remembered you did too. The older he gets the angrier he appears :D
It's not as good as something like F.E.A.R. that you introduced me to and some of his other more recent stuff, but it's an alright tune I think.
Always liked this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5XJ2GiR6Bo
I love OMD. They had a few popular songs, back in the day here. This wasn't one of them, however, but I like it. :)
Good pick Freddy, I love OMD too, got lots of their tunes in the Leaf.
The flute reminded me of Jethro Tull whom I like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u0XXpVGUwk
hope you like it
Carl2
Ohh Jethro Tull - now that's a blast from my youth - I used to listen to Aqualung and Thick as a Brick albums a lot, my brother had a big record collection. Good if you want something a bit different 8)
Bungle in the Jungle was my favorite. Aqualung just made me feel dirty, for some reason. :P
Jethro was able to sing things just not sung which may have attracted some rebellious youth, myself included.

I'm surprised this one wasn't a hit in the USA. It was over here and the Enola Gay they're referencing is the name of the aircraft that dropped the bomb (little boy) on Hiroshima.
Hence the lines... "Enola gay, mother is proud of little boy today. Oho, this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away"
Blast from the past, Desmond Dekker - Israelites
I went to a Desmond Dekker concert in Brighton, many years ago now.

Nice bit o' retro reggie :D
How about the 12" mix of this one. RIP Pete Shelley who died last week.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvphL4KyQJA
I liked Desmond's style of singing, I'd swear I'd heard that song in the past. On Pete's song rather long don't see any point in it.
Carl2
Well time to post my favourite Christmas song :)

I would have to pick this one:

Not one I've heard before but it's the sort of random we love.
Ear worms and dreams welcome anytime.
I remember this from The White Album. Good tune :thumbsup:
Keeping with The Beatles.

Something I remember from the past, those days are gone as they say.
Carl2
Just going to plonk this in cos I like it.
https://youtu.be/XPmBnnon0Ek
I've seen this one, I like it a lot too, was playing it a lot a while back. The girl in the preview image is a really good dancer I thought.
Agreed Freddy.
Here is something a little bit different.
https://youtu.be/g4Y5BSVOJPs
Both are good in there own way, the second one could have used a stronger vocal like the first one had.
Carl2
The 1st is a good dance tune with loads of dancers (are you the perve or is it just me?)
Not heard that version of a Kraftwerk classic. Not wonderful production and the vid was posted in 2008, not sure when it was made.
So this post requires the original, for Carl2's sake and my nostalgia.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDLhBYqNzv8
Love that song, I think I posted a cover of that a while back.
This just came up on my YT playlist, too good not to share. Remember the movie? :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwZNL7QVJjE
Way back in 1991 we had this from Primal Scream.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWUC2-ypnDQ
Watched a video on Whitney Houston on Hulu last night, she has so many recordings that made it to the top of the charts I thought I'd put her in here. Great voice belongs with Elvis, Michael Jackson and other top singers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YjSHbA6HQQ
Carl2
Shame how she ended up. I wasn't a great fan but she could really belt out a song.
Something on the light side, I was listening to The Cure's Forest earlier (released in 1980) and had to make a joke about one comment ;D
:rofl:
"Shame how she ended up."
I began thinking about that, these people that have so much money, have or could get anything they wanted yet end up killing themselves.
Carl2
Yes, pressures of fame too I imagine.
Keith Flint of The Prodigy has died today, only 49 :(
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/mar/04/prodigy-singer-keith-flint-dies-aged-49
Well I know this from Pulp Fiction - that was a good time, mid 90s - seemed to be a lot of good movies around that time. Probably went to watch it in Leicester Square. Tune.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAHA4Jh5jkw
Sunday - time to listen to a bit of music, enjoyed that Freddy :thumbsup:
Really windy today, makes my think of all the wind turbines out there, some might think I'm obsessed, well let me tell them now, I am ;D but don't panic, just relax and let it happen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRNLFDgYcIc
Yes a bit obsessed but we need people like you, go out and plant some trees and listen to the wind blowing through the leaves. So a rather strange question when life first began did the animals or the plants start first, was there ever an excess of oxygen and lack of enough carbon dioxide?

My logic says that the plants came first, they gave the animals oxygen and food.
Had this song in my head today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL5LwdQWCf8
There's organisms that are sort of half plant and half animal - so maybe it was a bit of both.
Good song, had not took notice of the lyrics before :thumbsup:
"There's organisms that are sort of half plant and half animal - so maybe it was a bit of both."
Never knew that, can you name one?

The song is pretty good, the video is amazing, defies our natural perception we have. Someone spent a lot of time making that video.
Carl2
A great video made even better by the little smiley guys dance :D
The Prodigy, never for the faint-hearted.
I am watching the funeral on Facebook. Loads of people out. RIP Keith.

I know that song Carl, very nice it is too :)
My favourite song written by Cohen is Hallelujah but sung by John Cale of Velvet Underground fame.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEOZLQ3d1FI
I think Leonard sings that song better, it's easier to understand his words.
Carl2
Each to there own Carl :) The words are the main reason I like it.
This popped up on my YT play list. Makes me feel nostalgic.

Such a classic Freddy :thumbsup:
Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach ... anybody ?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEQkIEkxm7k
Sure, it's a good tune - I get it pop up a lot on auto play at YouTube for some reason.
I've been listening to a lot of Joy Division and New Order this past week. A lot of it still sounds fresh. Nice synths.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so-L12LFRR8
I find I have to be in the right mood to listen to a lot of New Order stuff, some of it is so sad :(
Do listen to Joy Division in the car/Leaf
Listen to Kraftwerk a lot in the car, good driving music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE-aK0lRgi4
Well the last two vids do nothing for me, makes me think of the train background songs sung ages ago. Music is changing and I'm left with memories of songs I liked. I've been getting Alexa to play a list of relaxing music and find comedies for TV plus this gets rid of all the advertising.
Carl2
Maybe you will enjoy something more upbeat Carl:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yBnIUX0QAE
Good singing, nice selection of musical instruments, I wish the band luck. Thanks for putting it in.
Carl2
Yay ;D
Music is a funny thing.
Data, that Kraftwerk is one I have not heard before, enjoyed that 8)
Going back a few good years we had this tune from 1984.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw9mEFn38to
An okay band, the skin peeling was a bit strange.
Carl2
The Stranglers okay? I've seen 'em 5 times, they're brill. ;D
I've heard this latest offering from The Chemical Brothers but wasn't expecting the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRfSM-lv55I
Freddy thanks for posting Skin Deep :)
Snowy that last video was quite unexpected, enjoyed it though.
I'm gona post something else from the German masters :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkHFQEGD6Lo
I think The Stranglers are a class act too, although I never saw them live.
When I was sorting through my junk the other day I found a load of ticket stubs from various bands, some I don't recall attending so those must have been good ones :LOL:
Time for some sunny day songs, how about this:

A couple of good tunes there Freddy 8)
The skin deep song reminded me of this song, Wooly Bully,

Anyone heard this before ? I think it was released in 2012.
Kraftwerk musique electronique
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG3RlwErF0Q
Seems familiar, not sure, liked it though :thumbsup:
They have been going since 1970 now 8)
For no apparent reason this came up on YT, I quite like it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_un9PYsE1_g
Cyboogie, yeah quite like it, instantly reminded me of this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeawPUpTHJA
Yes reminded me of Goldfrapp too ;D
Very nice voice gets a little lost in the music, bit strange video.
Carl2
Not heard the Cyboogie one before but I see the Goldfrapp reference.
My fav tune ATM is this one. The Specials have a new album out. As political as ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZYgW0Hgc4
Still a very good band it seems Snowy 8)
How about a country singer and a punk singer covering a reggae artist's song.
Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer and Bob Marley respectively. 8)

Thank you for sharing! For some reason I forgot about this song. But today I turned it on an full in my property in Cyprus https://tranio. com/cyprus/ and just enjoyed it with my friends.
Can't remember if I posted this recently, but it's a good relaxing Summer song, so here you go.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGXgCuTCrj8
Posting this as the chorus is how I feel at the moment. :D

This is a song I heard on the radio, I tried to find it not knowing the name or the singer. Just found it after another search at you tube. Rather strange song to me, I'd say nonsensical so I like it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-EeeUKrFAQ
Carl2
Quite liked that Carl. I remember when they were about but never listened to them much apart from when seeing them on MTV. :thumbsup:
Not posted here for a while. Heard this on the radio and quite like it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_epXwsJeXq0
Nice to hear a song that's easy to understand.
I sometimes wonder why I like songs that are difficult to understand but came across an article on the internet that states the American FBI spent about a years time investigating the Kingsmen Louie Louie song, they played it at different speeds and all, wrote a 120 page report and stated they were unable to understand all the words. It became a big hit back in it's day so I guess I'm not the only one that likes that type of song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RZJ4ESU52U
Carl2
All they needed was Google :LOL:
It was a popular song over here too, still hear it in movies sometimes.
QuoteLouie Louie, oh no, you take me where ya gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Louie Louie, oh baby, take me where ya gotta go
A fine little girl, she waits for me
Me catch the ship across the sea
Me sailed the ship all alone
Me never think I'll make it home
Louie Louie, oh no no no, me gotta go, oh no
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go
Three nights and days I sailed the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship, I dream she there
I smell the rose in her hair
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go
Okay, let's give it to 'em right now
Me see
Me see Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long me see me love
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I'll never leave again
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go
I said me gotta go now
Let's hustle on out of here
Let's go
I never realized it but the Kingsmen are country gospel singers.
Carl2
the music is good.
Attended a Madness concert once, while still in my flat. Finsbury Park in North London, I used to live near the park. Madness were so loud I didn't have to regret not having bought a ticket.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwIe_sjKeAY
Did anyone like these moody fellows?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRJfIPiJGY
Oh yes, me and Snowy were in to Bauhaus, I still listen to them, the band turned in to Tones On Tail and then Love and Rockets, got all their albums :)
I used to think they were the coolest band around. Pete Murphy did some solo stuff too that's good as well. A striking looking person in the same kind of way as Bowie was.
I have a song of his on one of my playlists, I'll try to find it tomorrow.
Found it :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrfFHzqGBZI
Ahh yeah Pete Murphy, he used to be in an advert for cassette tapes back in the day as well, yes I know that song :)
He also made an album (The Waking Hour) with Mick Karn from the band Japan, it's an album with a difference for sure, here is one of the tracks from it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxBzKAL0_yQ
Interesting song, he's done a lot of styles of music.
This is the advert, once you mentioned it I remembered it too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBem3x7G6bc
You can't mention Pete Murphy and David Bowie in the same sentence and not post this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhJZrRV5YKo
Yes that came to mind, great cover 8)
OK here is something a little more ere, something, when I listen to it I think of mother earth, it's quite hard so probably not to all tastes but it seems to fit my mood at the moment.

Hi all, just listening to your selections. I have the Paul Hartnol (Orbital) album somewhere.
Some good oldies I've not heard for a while.
Here's 2 new ones I've heard on the radio. Similar themes and I like 'em, hope you do too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjDI7OR3be4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUklMnEO_yg
Snowy, the first of the 2 vids doesn't play :(
I do like the "Trouble Every Day" song, some home truths in there :thumbsup:
Had this song going round my head recently, a good blast from the past and I've just noticed that there is a wobble in it too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oABEGc8Dus0
Enjoyed those tunes 8)
I woke up this morning and for some reason the song Sink the Bismark came to mind so here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RTuaqL-eD4
Saw this song also so I'll include it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnnHprUGKF0

Something mellow for a Sunday night. I think this is my favourite REM song.

Recently I downloaded a mod for Fallout 4, radio retro future, it has opened my eyes to a genre of music that I wasn't familiar with "SteamPunk", right now I'm hooked. Here is a taste but it comes in many other flavours too.
https://youtu.be/sV2xnaY7qdE
It's nice :thumbsup:
I was listening to old 1920s songs to get me into the mood for making my game. A lot of those old tunes are public domain now, so I might be using a few of them in the game.
Glad you like it mate :)
Here is another, the video should start at the place I marked, the song is call "The Old ships Boiler"
EDIT:
I just noticed that the video isn't starting from the place I wanted it to, skip it to 11 mins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE7Mf5GanH8&t=661s
The Unwoman made me think of a 1920's singer I liked Billy Holiday a jazz singer, really liked her voice.

Quote from: Data on December 14, 2019, 21:27:06 PMHere is another, the video should start at the place I marked, the song is call "The Old ships Boiler"
I liked it, reminds very much me of The Levellers.
@Carl, I like that song too, she's more 30s to 50s than 1920s. Doesn't change the fact that she is pure class. :)
I listened to a few songs by the Levellers, not bad. Anyways on Billy Holiday I heard somewhere she was hooked on drugs as many singers are, can't take away the fact that she has a great voice.
Carl2
Taken quite an folky tip. I couldn't play the Billy Holiday one so here it is again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkplpL2P9YM
And the Levellers are a Brighton band I always assumed were named after a Brighton park (called the Level) but was an old movement. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levellers)
And an uplifting song from them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SKS_xcBS5w
I have a song that ticks boxes.
Brighton artist :tick:
A song for Brexit :tick:
More SteamPunk, :tick: the air ships and goggles gives it away. Hey I'm just trying to educate people :D

Although I'm American I have to say I like it, kind of like the way the British keep the king and queen, they grow up learning the right way to do things while we have Trump whom they are trying to impeach because he never learned the correct ways.

Kind of you to say Carl :)
This is on todays internet. Trump never understood windmills, he has studied them but never been able to understand them. They are made in Germany and China but almost none are made here.
A windmill will kill many bald eagles, after a certain number they make you turn the windmill off. Yet if you killed one they put you in jail.
Carl2
Funny old laws. When I went fishing with Dave he said there was a law back in the US that said you couldn't use ground bait - it had a jail term.
I like a bit of Enya sometimes:

Bit of The Verve anyone?

Freddy, you should appreciate this I think :D

Haha that was great ;D :thumbsup:
My favourite part was The Shamen at the beginning 8)
Glad you liked it, my favorite bit was at the end, Prodigy out of space but it's all good.
There was a bit of a friendly feud between Mr.B and Professor Elemental, the good Professor made this song about him. All in good fun though :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iRTB-FTMdk

I mended that long link Carl.
That is such a strange song, the word "haunting" comes to mind for some reason, I liked it :thumbsup:
I came across this one and thought of Freddy, it seems we have Penny Farthings in Brighton too :LOL:

When this was on telly all that time ago, this performance from U2 largely went over my head. Meh. Listening and looking back at it now, I think this is the best version of the song around. It took me years to appreciate U2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvBgRSSlVBA
One thing I would say about U2 is their lyrics are deep and meaningful :thumbsup:
Well really a shouter but over all pretty good. Well I came across Jerry Lee Lewis while watching a Movie on tv where the main actor was a fan of him and sang parts of his songs. So Jerry was popular years ago and music has changed so much since that time. Hope you enjoy it.

Pretty good, no idea how he did that.
Carl2
Did what Carl?
I enjoyed that. It's not something I would listen to a lot, but occasionally it's fun.
I reckon the Professor is part inspired by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band ;D
Neil Innes, the singer, worked a lot with Eric Idle and was in the Beatles spoof group called The Ruttles. I think he worked on the songs for Monty Python too. I've seen interviews of him and he always came across as a nice, talented chap. He passed away recently sadly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVr2hbE6aW0
Short and sweet track that Freddy :thumbsup:
I didn't know who sung the song, now I do, sad he has passed away.
While wandering around the internet I came across Uncle Kracker whom I used to like so I put some links in. I thought this was kind of funny.

How about some Bowie :D

The other two were good, I like a bit of Bowie, does sound a bit dated now, maybe it's just me ;)

I feel in the majority of videos her voice is lost with all the audio effects.
Carl2
Elon and Grimes have given the baby a name "X Æ A-12", rather unusual I'd say
Tesla shares are up 86% so far this year, which means CEO Elon Musk just qualified for stock options worth more than $700 million. Grimes is also very rich.
Carl2
How, exactly, do you pronounce that name? I assume they want their child bullied at school.
Why not something simple like Sue. Didn't do Johnny Cash no problem. :D
Speaking of which...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ3tFPTUhAE
I've always liked Johnny Cash and Boy Named Sue was a good song. On Elons son the only somewhat logical conclusion I could come up with is they want to give him a somewhat unique name but don't want to say what it is because so many other couples would want to use that name. Both Elon and Grimes have so much money they could buy an island and start there own country, they would have people come in to teach the children.
Carl2
There has been another death in the music industry, Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk aged 73.
Very sad, genuinely one of my all time favourite bands.
Here is a not so well know song of theirs, Vitamin, quite an important massage in these times.
Florian is the man on the right of the video.
RIP Florian and thanks for the music.

Here is a bit of Old Skool Reggae, Desmond Dekker & The Aces – Israelites
Desmond Dekker came to Brighton, many years ago now, I went to the concert, good times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wSXTN2EfRo
Wow I like the song, I remember listening to it a few times on You Tube and thought I posted it. Unique voice that I liked. Johnny Cash a boy named Sue also very good.
Carl2
I like that Cash song too Carl. Troubled life he had, a lot caused by himself, but thinking of him as a musician I still admire him. There was a good Columbo (Peter Falk) with Johnny Cash in it once. I liked the movie they made a few years back about his life, Ring Of Fire I think it was called.
Something different...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I
That guy (Izzy), was a pretty famous Hawaiian singer with a really soothing voice. He was unfortunately very heavy and that may have contributed to his early demise.
I played that song one time for my wife and she loved it. Now and then she will ask Google Home to play Over the Rainbow and it will usually include this song in the mix!
Nice post!

https://youtu.be/7GayMVRh66U
That was absolutely unreal when the Jellyfish visibly became a woman! Very cool and imaginative.
Nice song :thumbsup:
The boom boom chi became very popular some time ago, just heard it used in a movie I watched. Wonder where the the original boom boom chi came from.

It still seems difficult to get weed seeds sent to you and the flowers you can buy have the seeds removed. I was able to find a favorite from that time period and spent a bit of time listening to other music.
So here is the music I chose

Sweet tune, sweet choice :thumbsup:
He wrote that to apologise to his wife for forgetting her birthday or something - least that's what I have read.
I just found this gem from OMD - some nice synth and bass 8)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcIs6e2om4M
Very nice music that I liked, kind of relaxing.
A few days ago for some reason I thought of Bob Dillon and had to listen to some of his music, he plays many instruments really kind of a poet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT7Hj-ea0VE
Carl2
Freddy, I enjoyed the OMD gem :thumbsup:
Carl, that tune seems very fitting at this time, somethings don't seem to age much :)
My offering today is my favourite tune from the good professor, I know I've posted it before but it's meaning is spot on I think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFL5GTKwonQ
Good video, for some reason it made me think of young people doing things to be grown ups like shaving, drinking driving smoking and all that.
Carl2
Cool song from the professor - it grows on you 8)
I like Bob Dylan too - that particular song I prefer the cover by Hendrix.
Here's a Dylan song I have been listening a lot to lately:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpZvg_FjL3Q
Yes another good one from Dylan, one of the things I like about him is he tells a story instead of using the same line over and over. Lots of "his " (I think he was the original writer) were sung by other people.
Carl2
I find Bob Dylan and Prince I prefer as song writers rather than artists. They both had very prolific song writing careers but the covers and written for other people are their best works. In my opinion.
Both good story tellers too. Here's a prince one...

That is one of the earliest songs I remember hearing on the radio - my Dad and me liked it a lot ;D
I think this is a beautiful song :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoVaK2NXmJA
I've got to agree a beautiful song. I was going to post a song but after hearing that I'll wait/
Carl2
Glad you liked it Carl, if you didn't already know it's the closing song for the final Lord of the Rings movie.
Good find Freddy! That really was a lovely song! Ms. Lennox does have a great voice!
Just stumbled across this sort of hauntingly nice song from The Hobbit...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DHecFcDhbw
Nice, very calming :thumbsup:
I think the Dwarves sing that song in the movies.
I'll say it was good music rather than a song that I don't know about. I came across a song that I always liked that is sung in many languages by many people and choose this version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW3VCQssdIg

Simply adore this song, a nice feel good factor :sign-peace:

That's a good tune Freddy :)
Will be going out doing a few deliveries in that car later today, this will be blasted out the speakers. it's become a must play tune in the car every year at Christmas.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkZ47BhpH_U
Christmas is James Bond season by tradition here. Spectre is on right now in fact.
Anyway, I think this has become my favourite Bond song - I remember it sounded great when we went to see the movie at the cinema. Really set the mood for a great movie too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeumyOzKqgI
That Snowman one was great 8) :thumbsup:
The Skyfall tune is probably my favourite too, I find myself singing it sometimes and you're right it does set the mood to the movie really well. Great tune from Adele.
The dubstep snowman is a must for Christmas, is it me or are the modern Christmas tunes not really hitting the spot these days.
Only one I recall hearing this year was a terrible one by Rick Astley.. :o
Here's something a bit different with a positive message.

That new one from Numan I liked - very cool video too, he keeps on putting out new stuff. Makes me think of NiN a little too.
The retro one reminds me of some 90s bands like Sultans of Ping or that kind of group. I'll put that on my playlist too.
Thanks Snowy :thumbsup:

It might be a little-known fact that the first two albums of the Monkeys were actually played by The Wrecking Crew, an extremely talented group of session musicians who provided backing for many artists and want-to-be-musicians.
They subsequently became the most requested session musicians in Los Angeles, playing behind many popular recording artists including Jan and Dean, Sonny & Cher, the Mamas and the Papas, the 5th Dimension, Frank Sinatra, and Nancy Sinatra. The musicians were sometimes used as "ghost players" on recordings credited to rock groups, such as the Byrds' debut rendition of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" (1965), the first two albums by the Monkees, and the Beach Boys' 1966 album Pet Sounds.
For more on the Wrecking Crew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrecking_Crew_(music)
I'd heard of The Wrecking Crew but did not know all the connections. 8)
I know that the Monkees were unhappy having everything done for them and learnt to play themselves.
One of my favourite U2 songs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR07p1OtCkw
I happened to hear this song in a video I watched, kind of silly but I liked it.

I first heard that song in the movie Reservoir Dogs, quite liked it too.

Some nice choices there Freddy and Carl :thumbsup:
How about something composed by A.I
QuoteThe instrumentation was composed with artificial intelligence, lyrics and vocal melodies written by by Taryn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taryn_Southern).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUs6CznN8pw
I actually did enjoy that AI-based song!
That could either say something dreadful about my taste in music or encouraging for the AI's abilities.
There is always the remote chance that both of us could have a positive outcome! ;)
Yes, good song. I liked that they put some AI imagery in the video too.
I still think I would prefer to learn the guitar though, one day, one day ;D
You absolutely should!!
Buy a good but inexpensive guitar, perhaps one at second-hand store, thrift store or yard sale for cheap.
Then go online and search for guitar chords.
Learn the fingering for few chords or so, like A-minor, C, D, D-minor, G, E, A, F.
I guarantee if you just learn C, D & G you can play LOTS of songs as many songs are only based on a three-chord progression and that's it!
It's far easier than it sounds but like anything worth learning, it does take some practice.
Once you learn, it's yours forever to play, create and enjoy!
Oh it's not that I haven't started. I've had an electric guitar and a couple of acoustic - I still have an acoustic sitting in a box here.
I could do basic tunes, but it's been a while now and I would need to start all over again. I guess it's more about fitting it in timewise and being in the mood.
Found this Prodigy tribute. Made me smile...
https://youtu.be/Kg-RjuLPqLM
That was great, made me smile too 8) :thumbsup:
What classical instruments where made for although they didn't know it at the time ;D
Now That was Fun!! Great find Snowy! :thumbsup:
Remember this Data, Snowy?
For Art and Carl, this is a band called The Wonder Stuff joining up with Vic Reeves a British comedian who does a few good tunes too. This would fill the dancefloor.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOlG92rb2Zg
Who could forget Vic Reeves and The Wonder Stuff, not me.
I wonder if anyone remembers this tune from 1980 by Robert Palmer, I was quite a big fan of his and had most, if not all, of his albums back in the day, sadly he died at the age of 54 but for me his music lives on.
This tune has a early synth bass line.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_SAMrDnXOE
Yes I remember that song - it's catchy and sticks in the mind - it's been years since I have heard it. I had forgotten that he had died.
Something a little mellow - I like a lot of their songs.

Maybe I'm old fashion but not what I'd call music. Really hear because I saw a young girl ridding on what she called a hover board, It goes forward backwards and different directions, not sure how it works, it is electric I'd say. So it made me think of this song In the year 2525. With all the new things coming out AI being smarter than us, robots doing work and replacing people Well what can I say.

Yeah, that was a pretty old song. So old, I remember it when it first came out!
That video was even older, taken from one of the first classic Black & White Sci-Fi films, Metropolis, released March 13, 1927.
I have a copy of that 2-1/2 hour drama and it was actually quite interesting to watch.
Then again, I am a Sci-Fi (SyFy) geek!!
Nice find Carl!
Classic dance track to a golden oldie. Both good.
How about I drag you kicking and screaming into this year with a modern punk band - The Sleaford Mods. I like this guy's lyrics. NFSC NSFW I think this version has some naughty words.

Interesting how they made that into a music video. I came across a Elton John song "Rocket Man" I find it interesting how these song writers seem to be way ahead of their time, it seems like Elon Musk they know what will be happening in the future.

Just a personal observation but I detected a definite Beatles influence in that song which I suppose, was a bit of flattery and something that seemed to be in vogue at the time.
Nice happy song nonetheless.
Yes I know what you mean, I remember thinking that when I first heard it years back.
Someone said that ELO were (are) the band that the Beatles would become, I'm not sure who said that.
Jeff Lynne did end up working with George Harrison in the Travelling Wilburys of course.

I picked this one due to the decent audio quality over the one I found with a video. It's also longer.
I remember sitting in a bar in Sorrento in Italy, and this coming on the video jukebox. It was about 1987. Sorrento has a lot of English-themed pubs, called things like Rover's Return and so on. Best pizza in the world too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUvcWXTIjcU&list=TLPQMTIwNzIwMjL_fx1nfde9qg&index=5
Well I just watched a video that did a review of the above video and I have to say I am stupid. The review was able to explain what Dillon was refering to in his song. At this time I think that Dillon must be pretty smart to be able to write the song since he did not have a reviewer to give him all the details to be able to write the song. At this time Dillon is pretty old stuff so it doesn't matter
I've often thought that he is one of the smartest lyricists there has ever been. 8)
Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman), was a great lyricist. In fact, in my opinion, he was far better at writing songs than he was singing them. To many, it was his slurry, nasally voice that helped make him unique and loved.
I think we just had a great bunch of talented artists during the 70s although many did not live to enjoy a long life. Hendrix, Joplin, Croce, Morrison, etc., passed on in the 70s.
It's a tad on the warm side today.

This was on the radio last night, loving it. Has a Cocteau Twins flavour to it, but it's not them.

Some pretty good music I have one from way back when.

No offense but it's actually quite a horrible song but often when a song is sung, little attention is paid to the lyrics or real message of a song. This is one such song.
I'll show you the Lyrics first then the message contained in the lyrics...
Oh the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old Macheath, babe
And he keeps it outta sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, though, wears ol' Macheath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now, on the side walk, ooh Sunday morning, uh huh
Lies a body just oozing life, eek
And someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river, don't you know
Where a cement bag's just a-drooping on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten, ol' Mackie's back in town
Now did ya hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawing out all his hard earned cash
And now Macheath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done something rash?
Now, Jenny Diver, ho ho, Suky Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and ol' Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town
I said, Jenny Diver, woah, Suky Tawdry
Look out, Miss Lotte Lenya and ol' Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Mackie's back in town
Look out ol' Mackie is back
==============================================
This song is the a cover of the original by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weil, first performed in their 1928 anti-capitalist musical drama, The Threepenny Opera.
The song has become more famous for this Bobby Darin version. While the song has a mellow and cool sound, it is actually about a murderous rapist named Macheath from The Threepenny Opera.
The women could be prostitutes and a body is being submerged down by the river with cement bags.
Yeah, a great song...perhaps not so much...
Just goes to show ya...
I knew the thing with the lyrics Art; I almost mentioned it like you, but it was too early for my brain to go into much detail.
Here is a nice one from the Big O. :)

Here's a song by a group I discovered a few years back now. They are sisters and have a lot of good tunes. It's hard to find new music I like these days, but I like these two a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bxvg-mQ0RM
I like that tune Freddy, it has a feel good factor :thumbsup:
Here is a mix of new and old instruments.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYAv8iiYLG4
This one has a great video but probably not to everyone's taste.
Hey! You are as old as the music you listened too ;D

Carl2
Thanks Carl :D
Ok! Don't try this at home kids.

Really good videos/tunes Data :thumbsup: 8)
I liked the way the cymbal went all wobbly in that last one!
It's still hard to believe Terry Hall has gone. This popped up on YoutTube last week.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY6KMoioSog
Yes very sad about Terry Hall, he had a surprisingly flexible voice that souded great on a number of styles IMHO.
I'm going to shake it up a bit with this synth rift from 1989.

Some modular synthesis.
https://youtu.be/cd4Vss4qfGs
That's good for concentrating - I need it to last an hour :LOL:
Heard this on the TV this evening and had completely forgotten about it, a real blast from the past.
OMD Genetic Engineering.

Another OMD classic - Electricity.
Check out the lyrics, nothing much has changed.
https://youtu.be/Nj-03tH6p2w
I like OMD too; there's a Facebook group I am a member of. Can send you an invite if you like.

Quite a rowdy bunch there Freddy, good to hear an old classic played live though :thumbsup:
I've been meaning to post this for a while now, to me it's another old classic but it might be new to most people.
The lyrics mean a lot to me.
https://youtu.be/x-7DxI-56ts
I quite like them. :thumbsup:
Ryuichi Sakamoto passed away recently, so I am posting this. It's been years since I watched the movie.

Been looking for some tunes for Pieces of Eight.

Here's one I discovered recently via Jo Whiley on Radio 2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKL4X0PZz7M
Stumbled across this, it seems to stir emotion without words, grabbed my attention.
https://youtu.be/bubOcI11sps
I'm not sure if this has been posted before just just incase here it is.
https://youtu.be/bAdqazixuRY
I don't recall it. Very cool, good song too 8)
This was on the 90s Radio 2 show last night and I didn't recall it from the time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TfqbuTBqX8
I don't remember that one either, strange little video too.
Give this one a go 8)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7WTJTPjeRU
This is pretty iconic - a new song from The Beatles
Now and Then
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW55J2zE3N4
Yes, I watched the story on the One show and caught the first play on Radio 2 8)
Can't help thinking they could have made more effort on the video :scratch-head:

Been watching a few cover videos lately, here is one of my favourite Stranglers songs and this musician nails the bass line.

That was good :thumbsup: 8)
Heard this on Jo Whiley tonight, a bit different, I like it. Some of it reminds me of The Fall, but cheerier!

That track was by a LOTRO friend of mine. 8)
This is a 2019 song I think but I love that it's a dance track with a Sax player.

Enjoyed that, thanks :thumbsup:
