Broaden My Horizons Please... Musically

[adrina]

I tried those two on Vimeo and I'm not impressed overall. The middle section of Crystal Pianos is good, but I'd have to edit out the beginning and end.

There were actually quite a few songs I nabbed from that.

Superhand - Bass and Guns (I liked it this time 'round, go fig.)

Brooke Annibale - Like the Dream of It

Fiona Joy - Fair Not

Hive Riot - Undercover

Birds of Bellwoods - Grey Ghosts

A Fragile Tomorrow - One Way Ticket

The Krickets - Cool Cool Water

Olivia Penalva - Weightless

Some really good stuff from The Who like 'Pure and Easy' and 'Getting in Tune'.


Funky and fun ... 'Goody Two Shoes' by Adam Ant

Still a bit too relationshippy. In fact I actually liked the sound of Sherlock by Hive Riot but rejected it for the lyrics.

Ha. I'd forgotten about Adam Ant.

I'll get to the next post after I check the pork roast in the crock pot.

I think I'm going to add Goody Two Shoes to the list. Especially for me these days. Hahahaha....

 

[adrina]

Zozulytsya / Зозулиця - Dakh Daughters Band (official video)
8:11

Bucha women sounding pagan-like.

Фолькнери - Карчата / Folknery - Karchata (Official video)
4:48

more pagan- sounding stuff

The foreign language stuff messes with my head. I want to try to make sense of it in English but it's obviously not going to happen.

Pussy Riot - Make America Great Again
4:56

I'll pass thanks.

METRIC - The Shade (Official Video)
3:40
My summer of 2015 song.

While that one didn't do it for me, "Gimme Sympathy" did.

Grazie!

Ximena Sariñana - Different [Official Music Video]
3:51
Sounds a bit like Avril Lavigne.

She's kinda fun. I went ahead and added it.




Thank you for adding to my collection.

I prefer more upbeat, less soppy relationship/romantic stuff.

See post 111 for the run down of what I grabbed. Just to give insight into where I'm headed with music at this time.

Those are good. You didn't like Tappin and Bumpin? Or The Hunter Set?

 

[adrina]

Those are good. You didn't like Tappin and Bumpin? Or The Hunter Set?

I may have missed them. I'll take a look after dinner in a bit.

 

[adrina]

I like The Hunter Set but Tappin' and Bumpin' is a bit more twang than I'm currently in the mood for.

Good call on pointing me in that direction.

 

[jaF0]

There's a lot of junk on there, but also some good jazz.

Ever listen to Chanting? Not that kind ... the Monks. All sorts of that stuff out there. Good for mellow background while doing other stuff.

Like the Gregorian monks? A bit too religious honestly.

 

[jaF0]

Yeah. I don't understand Latin, so it's just musical sounds with no message.

 

[adrina]

Yeah. I don't understand Latin, so it's just musical sounds with no message.

I have reasonably eclectic tastes but they don't include monks chanting in Latin.

 

[EternalFantasies]

I see no other viable way of broadening such narrow horizons, than this:

oooops.. My bad. I forgot to say "musically".

My bad.

Your actions and posts are a reflection on you and only you.

 

[DMBFFF]

This will be my 400th post since joining Literotica about 2 weeks ago.
Yeeaaayyy!!

Since ya'll helped build it... here it is.

Universe help me, I'm going to be traveling around with Lit and the GB... From Ferm to Froya, and Ish to Nipples and everyone in between.

Grazie!


A great big world - Rockstar

......

Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Songs we both like:

Alphaville - Forever Young
Beatles in Symphony
- Norwegian Wood
- Something
- Strawberry Fields
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Queen - Killer Queen
Rolling Stones - She's a Rainbow
Santana - Black Magic Woman
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride



Don't Fear the Reaper:
The original version was okay, but I got bored with it years ago. Only a matter of time I'll like it again, I suppose.

But I took a liking of this cover:
LYDIA LUNCH & CLINT RUIN don't fear the reaper
5:16

My fave BOC song:
Blue Oyster Cult: Black Blade
6:12
My favourite part is after 4:45
"My master is my slave!" (followed by maniacal laughter)

While Zeppelin did Tolkien, this song does Moorcock.


Which leads to the other BOC:
Boards of Canada - Wildlife Analysis
1:34

Boards of Canada - Olson [HD]
1:31
Note: you might find this a little soppy.

YouTube comments:

"This song gives me the feeling of nostalgia even though it's one of my first times listening to it."

"I'm going to cry again."

"where do i even begin with this gem. found out about it over a year ago, helped me cope with my break up and ever since then, i associate Olson with the positives i have in my life rather than the negatives. the ending always gives me goosebumps and im grateful that Boards is able to pull it off."

"it hugely reminds me of the first track of tangerine dream's 1971 album alpha centauri , the first track is called sunrise in the third system"

Boards of Canada - Open the Light (HD)
4:25

YouTube comments:

"I'm so thankful for life..."

"Man this is so beautiful these guys are too much ."

"It's funny how some people can't get over themselves and take in something really beautiful like this. Everyone should just coexist.. for one day.. no more snarky competitions of linguistics or any negative contributions of any kind. Just ONE day where we could all surrender our egos and connect with everyone."

"I always imagined a little whirlwind of crystals aimlessly lapping a snow covered tree on a hill in the midst of a winter paradise. This must be what it feels like to transcend out of humanity and exist in an untouched space of the earth's atmosphere."

David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
Pussy Riot did a cover of it and after hearing it on the radio, I've been looking around the Internet for it.


Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
Another song I listened to a way lot in the 1990s until I got bored with it. Marilyn Manson's version was also ho-hum. Give it time I suppose. Good guitar-line though.


Joe Cocker - With A Little Help From My Friends
I never liked Joe Cocker until he, sadly, died. When the radio did an obit, they played:
Joe Cocker - Feelin' Alright
4:10
Now for some reason I like it. (I might have given it more attention.)
R.I.P. Joe Cocker


Henry Mancini - Peter Gunn
Again, I've been trying to find a similar-sounding song by a possible Tuxedomoon.
I thought it was Dwayne Eddy who first did the song, but this is better: I like the sax.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=296wS9ome4M

Here's a blatant ripp-off of the song that I otherwise like—even more than all the versions of Peter Gunn I've heard.
Simple Minds - In Trance As Mission
7:11


Nitty Gritty Dirty Band - Mr Bojangles
Touching

Procol Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale
When in the mood.


Quicksilver Messenger Service - Local Colour
I'll check it out. Currently the one I like is:
It's A Beautiful Day - White Bird (1969)
6:06

Collie Ryan - It's Gonna Rain - Computer Chess
3:40

Which sounds a bit like It's A Beautiful Day - White Bird with a bit of Blind Faith. Acoustic guitar.


Taylor Swift - Blank Space
- Style
- Shake it Off
I don't really like Taylor Swift. I understand she's an IP troll.
I've included her, or someone like her, in the CMNF Club story I'm working on.
(No penitrative sex, save for a sex aid, she's also tied up.)


Tom Petty - - So You Want To Be A Rock N Roll Star

My fav cover of that song is:
Patti Smith Group / So You Want to Be (A Rock 'N' Roll Star)
4:21


Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
- Moondance

I love this:
Sean Cullen as Van Morrisson
2:11



Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
I liked it for maybe a couple of weeks. I dislike the video. Are those people he's pushing around actors?

Rolling Stones The Last Time
3:42
Listened too much to it long ago.

Boulevard Of Bittersweet Symphony (Mashup) Green Day vs The Verve / Boulevard Of Broken Dreams Remix
5:00
Lame.

Bittersweet Symphony (Jagger/Richards)
5:00
Lame, but not as the previous one.

I'm not particularly into Verve, but I love this song. I like it better than any Verve, Oasis, or Blur song.
The Verve - Lucky Man
4:52
It has a hint of Gordon Lightfoot.

The Verve - Slide Away is good, though.
4:03

The Verve Pipe - Photograph
4:26
also good



more mashing:

Queen The Beatles Fat Bottomed Girls Come Together Mashup
3:53

The Beastie Boys vs The Dandy Warhols "We Used To Be Intergalactic Friends"
2:58



playing with keys:

"Smells like teen spirit": original song in Major key (full)
5:02

'Enter Sandman' in Major key
5:32

"Wicked game" in Major key
4:47

"The Happy Godfather": original soundtrack in Major key (full)
2:56



Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit (TOTP 1991 - Live Vocal)
3:46
I like this version as he croons.



Filter - Hey Man, Nice Shot (Official Video) HD
4:25
metal version I got bored with years ago.

Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot [Nickel Bag]
3:43
funkified version I love.

the song is about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Budd_Dwyer
R.I.P. Budd Dwyer



I've taken a liking to this lady's covers, a few I found quite funny:

Google Translate Sings: "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen'
6:39

Google Translate Sings: "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift
4:13

Google Translate Sings: "Look What You Made Me Do" Taylor Swift (PARODY)
4:49

Google Translate Sings: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler
5:58

Google Translate Sings: "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus (PARODY)
4:56

Google Translate Sings: "Royals" by Lorde (PARODY)
3:50

Google Translate Sings: The Beatles
6:24

According to Google Translate: Donald Trump Quotes and Tweets
3:26



Creep - Radiohead - FUNK cover!
3:26

The foreign language stuff messes with my head. I want to try to make sense of it in English but it's obviously not going to happen.

Zozulytsya has (relatively) easy to get to lyrics. If I understand correctly, it started as a punk song by a Ukrainian punk band.

The lead singer makes me think of (image of) Bay Buchanan.


I was looking for alternative Russian and Ukrainian songs. Slim pickings in the former—though I should give them more of a chance. The latter was great.

Ukrainian rock and alternative music: 41 in all.
Some of it is in English. As a foot fetish, some of the videos are eye candy for me. Some have been removed.

Among the ones still on YouTube:

Фолькнери - Карчата / Folknery - Karchata (Official video)
4:48
Seems a bit gothy.

THE HARDKISS - MAKE UP (МУЗ-ТВ)
3:06
In English—makes me think of Lady Gaga and Cher.

Joryj Kłoc -- LIS (vydnograj / official video)
4:02
The singing and clothes are Ukranian, likely quite pagan, but the music sounds somewhat Celtic.

Stoned Jesus - Here Come The Robots (Official Video)
3:16
Heavy metal, in English, though I detect accents.



So I'm watching this frikin' hot porn video,
Seductive college girls are dancing naked
07:30

It's four Russian women dancing naked (including barefoot—as, again, I'm a foot fetishist), light rubbing breasts together, fellating a banana—which does little for me as she's eating the phallic symbol, but hey, it probably goes well with the wine they're drinking. But sometimes while I'm watching porn, I start to get into the background music: and this is one of these cases. As it's in Russian, I haven't the slightest idea what it is, but one of the women sings along and fortunately there are subtitles. Next it's Google translate,

don't go crazy
don't regret anything

не сходите с ума
ничего не жалею

and I find this video:

Тимати - Не Сходи с Ума (DVD).avi
3:49

Now the video is typical hip-hop: just replace blacks with Russians.

But what I like about it, aside from the female backup voices, is the acoustic guitar.

The porn video later plays Tom Jones Sex Bomb.

While that one didn't do it for me, "Gimme Sympathy" did.

Grazie!

Another good song.

She's kinda fun. I went ahead and added it.




Thank you for adding to my collection.

Here's something uplifting—though it might be soppy relationship/romantic stuff.
Sounds a bit like Joni Mitchel.
The Weather Station: "Way It Is, Way It Could Be" (Official Audio)
3:39

and this,

'Lucklucky' Official Video - Veda Hille
3:53
"It took 30 years to draw this map."

There's a lot of junk on there, but also some good jazz.

Ever listen to Chanting? Not that kind ... the Monks. All sorts of that stuff out there. Good for mellow background while doing other stuff.

[URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvyhxY54M3I]Tibetan monks throat-singing - Specialized form of chanting[/URL]
4:33

YouTube comments:

"I need this guys for my Grindcore band"

"death metal can't compete to this"

"Don't know if it's just me. I find this EXTREMELY relaxing."

"It sounds like a didgeridoo!"

Tuvan Throat Singing
3:52

BARAKA - Balinese Monkey Chant.m4v
3:54
starts at 1:22

Northern Cree Singers - You driving me crazy
8:40
Some of it is in English.


and as I prepare and post all of this, including to other stuff, I'm listening, again, to:
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Ears (Full Album)
38:43
and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QX67FSJxoE
Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - The Kid (full album)
51:52
I love the song that starts at 1:43. She's multiplying her voice: mostly female with one altered to sound like a low-voiced guy.


I'll come back to this thread and listen to stuff here I haven't listened to previously.


Saluti!

 

[adrina]

quite often. that's what music is for.

For future reference.

 

[RunningJib]

Brad Mehldau

there's more to life than warm woolen mittens and fuzzy kittens. Which is why Frost recommends the path less traveled

"My Favorite Things"

 

[RunningJib]

Eric Satie

By way of the Jacques Loussier Trio -- "Gnossiennes"

 

[RunningJib]

The Sultry Oud

Anouar Brahem "The Astounding Eyes of Rita"

 

[adrina]

I'm not ignoring any posts on this thread. I sit down and seriously consider each suggestion and any derivatives that follow. So it can take a bit of time.

Just please know I appreciate any and all suggestions and will absolutely get to looking at each one.

It's a process.

 

[Richard_P_Feynman]

By way of the Jacques Loussier Trio -- "Gnossiennes"

The Gnossiennes no. 4 is sublime. Furniture music, French impressionist piano. Always puts me in a romantic mood.

 

[jaF0]

I can't remember what's been mentioned and I'm too lazy to search.

Have you tried jazz violinist Jean Luc Ponty?

Cosmic Messenger
Mystical Adventures


Outstanding. Just friggin' outstanding.

 

[Dr. Groove]

It's time for an alteration in my musical universe. I'm rebuilding my car stick this weekend. I want upbeat music - nothing maudlin and nothing with a freakin' broken heart.

I am a fan of classic rock, 80s alternative Britpop, some pop (not too bubblegummy), old timey music from the 40s and 50s, jazz, some classic. I'm not a particular fan of harsh sounding music - harder rock, punk etc. For country, it depends.

I don't keep track of the newest and latest so I really don't know all what is out there. I'd love to get some suggestions. I'll take a listen to everything... even if it's not my normal, I'll at least give it a try.

Help?

Most of this likely won't be new, but we'll hope it may be new to you. Hopefully Spotify links work?

For your 40's - 50's tastes -

Joe Jackson's Jumpin Jive (album)

which was inspired by the remarkable Louis Jordan

Don't think this classifies as Brit Pop - but it's a favorite album by a group that's at least adjacent to that category at times -

Brand New Heavies - Brother Sister

The Meters have been scratchin an itch in the classic category...

Hope you enjoy!
