What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

Deerhunter- Microcastle. It's just like woozy enough, and a bit of shoegaze influence. Very dreamy.
 
Covers of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". Woke up this morning and just couldn't get it out of my head. Didn't particularly want to, truth be told.

Jeez there are a lot of them. Many are good, too. A couple examples:



I already knew that Johnny Cash ripped off the song for his "Understand Your Man" (I prefer Dwight Yoakam's cover), but only just now I learned that Bobby D also ripped it off, from Paul Clayton's "Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons (When I'm Gone)"

This is one of the covers on my regular (but expanding) set list.

Peter, Paul and Mary did a lot for Bob Dylan IMHO by making him, well, listenable :) Of course, it went both ways, because they had some great songs from him to make hits out of.
 
Winter ❄️ is my favorite. ❤️
Spring is mine, by a sliver. I had fun with this in a group-on-holiday story last year, when the male Taiwanese geek character was the first to get laid, due to his compelling violin work in a piano / violin performance of the suite to the rest of the group of friends. Rumour has it that classical musicians are a randy bunch.
 
I referenced this one in my latest story, so naturally I've got it as an earworm now... "Whispers and Moans" by New Zealand Australian band Crowded House was inspired by the sound of a couple bonking to all hours in the hotel room next door to songwriter Neil Finn. It's got a brilliant bass line as well. This version is from their 'Farewell to the World' concert, which was performed at Sydney Opera House to around 100,000 people. The late Paul Hester was playing drums, Nick Seymour on bass, and Mark Hart (who also played for a while with Supertramp) on guitar and keyboards.

You are a bad, bad man. You have chased all the other plop that had been filling my head all week and reminded me how good this band was, and how obsessed with them I once was. Earworms, indeed. I have it in mind to listen to their first four albums before bed tonight, plus The Finn Brothers.

I was in Australia and New Zealand in late 1996, at the time of their Farewell concert. It was broadcast, and I watched it. Good times.

Now I'm gonna have to look at learning one or two of their songs.

It occurs to me that I used a Finn Brothers song in one of my stories, too:

There's a mirror lake before me
But I'm frozen when it's time to jump
It's like maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find


I credited the songwriters at the end of the story, of course.

This is stuck on repeat for me right now.

For any musicians reading here, how often do we get a great song composed in 7/4 time?

Soundgarden had a few in 7/4, IIRC, and some other weird time signatures. IIRC they used to write the music first and then figure out the time signature afterwards.

"Money" by Pink Floyd would be the best known one, I think. "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel. "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead has some 7/4, I think.
