What are you listening to ?

*listens to Million Miles Away*

Has everything old school, that I enjoy.

*wanders through the aisles/isles, indulging myself, shamelessly*

Rory Gallagher - Easy come, easy go


(It has been a grey day...)

I have not read a biography on Jack Bruce. I get an inkling of his temperament, but I'd like to know...
 
gaaahhhhh!


Station advertising itself as the new alternative rock.


:rolleyes:


Greenday and Offspring ? *hopeless sigh* back to listening to college/university stations.

(The djs are saying their day is fucked up, too. Something is discombobulated, this week.)

WTF is Robyn Hitchcock doing in Newburyport, MA on a Saturday night ? Making a few bucks, I suppose.
 
Very old school!


(If you would have heard some of the garbage that they are selling as music on the radio, you would weep and gnash your teeth. A kindergarten child would find it infantile and degrading.)

Moonshine" - live - best guitar solo ever (Paul Kossoff)
 
They definitely earned the title of musicians. Part of that time and place.

1. Ride On Pony 0:00-4:10
2. Mr Big 4:11-10:23
3. Songs Of Yesterday 10:24-15:27
4. I'll Be Creepin' 15:28-20:00
5. All Right Now 20:01-25:29
 
We did not have Enid. I do not know why. They prompt an association with Frank Zappa compositions, and UK groups that created songs that incorporated classical elements.

Observations made: 1976

Ah, a concept album!

1983 ? (Preceding years would prompt anyone to shout out loud. Not to mention, the dreaded year.)


7: 28:13 Something Wicked This Way Comes


This collection demands another listen. (And reading.)


*reads*


P.S-

I should have asked, sooner!


Valentines Park is, at 52 hectares, the largest green space in the London Borough of Redbridge, between Ilford and Gants Hill.
 
Live long enough, and the answers appear

A woman called 999 for advice on storing a cracked egg in her fridge

999

Keith Richards


Makin' it, doesn't matter how many
Takin'it
Well, I can't shake it
Off of my back, damn monkey
It's either too tight
Or it's too slack
How much
That's all it is ooh
Ninety nine
How much, yah
Now, ninety nine
You better hack it baby
Yea, my time exploded, space blew up
Need something in my Dixie cup
Whoa, let me get it right
There's the best pair of lips I've kissed all night
How much, well give it to me
I'll pay you later
Nine ninety nine
Oh, I got a pocket calculator
Yeah, wake up, it don't make sense
Nickles and dimes
Nine ninety nine


(of course, I listened to-

Keith Richards Wicked As it seems)
 
Hugh Masekela has left his body behind


:rose:

January 23, 2018


Hugh Masekela, the legendary South African jazz musician who scored an unlikely No. 1 hit on the Billboard chart with his song "Grazing in the Grass" and who collaborated with artists ranging from Harry Belafonte to Paul Simon, has died at 78


Over his career, Masekela collaborated with an astonishing array of musicians, including Harry Belafonte, Herb Alpert, Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, Paul Simon — and his ex-wife, Miriam Makeba.


Masekela became a leading international voice against apartheid

Masekela was good enough to co-found a landmark South African band, The Jazz Epistles, which also featured another landmark South African artist, the pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim. They recorded the first modern jazz record in South Africa featuring an all-black band.

Within months of The Jazz Epistles' creation, South African police opened fire on thousands of protesters and 69 people were killed in the infamous Sharpeville Massacre of 1960.

i'm in a bad mood and i need juvenile silliness from my youth, so suck it.

Let's go dancin' in a dioxin dump
Let's test our love, let's press our luck
Let's get sick and have our stomachs pumped
Let's go dancin' in a dioxin dump

This world is full of people who
Spend their lives in shoppin' malls

Let's go drinkin' on Highway 9
We'll get smashed and have a wild time

This world is full of people who
Think a lot about bowlin' balls

No one will ever fall in love with a
Nitro burnin' funny car
No one will ever have lunch with a
Nitro burnin' funny car

Let's go dinin' on rocks and glass
Get the hiccups if we eat too fast
See how long our love can last
Let's go dinin' on rocks and glass

This world is full of people who
Sit too long when the light is green

Let's find some statues and then deface 'em
I wanna beat up on Casey Casem

This world is full of people who
Eat a lot of franks and beans

No one will ever buy a present for a
Nitro burnin' funny car
No one will ever go campin' with a
Nitro burnin' funny car

Let's entertain some ugly thoughts
We'll cross our fingers so we won't get caught
We'll forget what we've been taught
Let's entertain some ugly thoughts

This world is full of people who
Crack their knuckles and talk too loud

Let's play some records and worship Satan
I tell you baby that it sure beats paintin'

This world is full of people who
Look a lot like Gavin McCloud

No one will really gives a damn about
Nitro burnin' funny cars
No one will ever write a song called
Nitro burnin' funny cars

Let's go dancin' in a dioxin dump
Let's test our love, let's press our luck
Let's go dancin' in a dioxin dump
 
i had a friend who bought more than one album of that kind of stuff. he was a nice guy, but fuck that.

though, i'll admit it, i did like me first and the gimme gimmes for a bit. especially this
 
It reminds me of my sister. She’s über sentimental, and into pop culture as well as music. I, myself, do enjoy a good cover, silly or otherwise.
 
Faiprport Convention - Meet On The Ledge (DVD -- Fairport Convention: 35th Anniversary Concert)

and

Meet On The Ledge

(Greta Van Fleet)

The young people are doing it, in their own way.

Recycle! :D
 
Good gracious, ryan!

The young people are continuing on, with this nonsense ?

(Good find! Wonderful, to see people enjoying life's happier moments. A delightful tribute to Freddie Mercury. *sigh* There, now, I have got it out of my system!)

:D
 
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99
Wear Sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future,
Sunscreen would be it
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience...
I will dispense this advice now...

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth
oh nevermind;
you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself
and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked...

You are not as fat as you imagine
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind

the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday

Do one thing everyday that scares you

Sing

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts

don't put up with people who are reckless with yours

Floss

Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind...

the race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults

if you succeed in doing this, tell me how

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements

Stretch
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life...
the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't

Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding
anniversary...
what ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either
your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's

Enjoy your body

use it every way you can...

don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it

it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own

Dance...even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings
they are the best link to your past
and the people most likely to stick with you in the future

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle

because the older you get
the more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard
live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft
Travel

Travel
Accept certain inalienable truths
prices will rise
politicians will philander
you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young
prices were reasonable
politicians were noble
and children respected their elders
Respect your elders
Don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund
maybe you have a wealthy spouse
but you never know when either one might run out
Don't mess too much with your hair
or by the time you're 40, it will look 85
Be careful whose advice you buy, but
be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off
painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth
But trust me on the sunscreen
