Then explain Monty Python, because if that's peak intellectual humor, I'm not sure how Brain survived the war.



You're both wrong. It's a Hoppity Hop.

Who is Brain?

I thought for a minute they meant 'Brian' as in 'Life of....' but I think he meant Britain...

[SensualGerund]

You angry emoji reacted to their song choice.

Ohhhhhh. Not butthurt. I just thought the angry emoji was a more appropriate way to show my appreciation for that specific song.

Ohhhhhh. Not butthurt. I just thought the angry emoji was a more appropriate way to show my appreciation for that specific song.

Lol, that's one way to do it.

I've got a friend that detests Glen Danzig and therefore begrudgingly tolerates their songs. I'd expect that type of reaction from him

Day 20: A song from the 80s, black artists during black history month +1.

One of the greatest horrors ever perpetrated against indigenous peoples is known as The Stolen Generations. This was the Australian government sanctioning and systemically carrying out the slow genocide of the Australian Aboriginal people and the Islanders of the Torres Strait.

It went on for a disputed amount of time, but can have been as long as 100 years, between 1869 and the 1970s. Up to as many as one in three children were forcibly taken from their families, and placed into institutions to be raised "Australian".

This, to me, makes it incredible that the indigenous Australian cultures have persevered. And not only persevered, but went on to be celebrated. Just a few years after the systemic assimilation was shut down, in the early 80s, two bands came together to voluntarily celebrate their differences.

An unnamed Aboriginal group, and a white rock group called the Swamp Jockeys merged together to form Yothu Yindi, a band who fused the pop-rock of the 80s with the reggae-like tunes of the Aboriginal people. They were an amazing example on how contrasts can blend to create something new, something never before heard. They were truly unique.

Music unites.

Yothu Yindi - Djäpana
Please, enjoy the sunset.

Black Artist(s) Love Song

Total so far = 6

Backstory for the song:
First hit for the group in 1985, after Lionel Richie left two years earlier.

References Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson. Both of whom died in 1984. It's a love song about them.

Day 20

Last month, I got in a bit of trouble when I (correctly) declared the 80s to be the best decade of music. People didn't want to acknowledge that some of the best bands of the 60s and 70s were still cranking out great work in the 80 while some of the best bands in history emerged (U2, REM, the Smiths, etc) Ska, reggae, and new wave became more mainstream and Grandmaster Flash introduced us to a whole new genre. MTV was born creating a new world of music videos and Miami Vice forever changed the way music was used on TV. You can try and deny it but you'd look as foolish as some of the T.Swift/Kelce conspiracy theories.
This decade was so great, this band (formed in the 60s) did their best work and it largely.went unnoticed.

I love this song and the message it brings

 

[vagrantx]

This is the most 80's thing I've ever seen. Love!

A song from the 80s

First of all, check out the bottle dodge that he puts on at the 13 second mark of this video… just flawless and doesn’t miss a beat!!

This pretty much summarizes, the insanity, the chaos, and the pure fucking energy of hardcore and the boiling rage of my teenage years. I’d go w my sisters and their boyfriends going to all age shows. (I was fucking terrified the first few times). Pyramid Club, Rock Hotel, and then found places with my friends: NY South, City Gardens, The Dirt Club, The Pipeline.

Bad brains were anomaly in a world of white hardcore. One of the black bands, but their energy was absolutely fucking tops!

Sadly, HR (human Rights), the singer from this band is in poor health now.

Black artist, and a sorta love song…

 

[Wonderer67]

Sigh…

I pleaded my case that I should be excused from rules as a registered anarchist.

It did not go over well, and after a severe ass beating, I guess I’m back in line…

Aretha Franklin & George Michael - I knew You Were Waiting (For Me)
