@Teshka Yes! We were missing Costello! Good job.

@Moonride*r* I always liked the smooth sound of vinyl!

Can't argue with that either. Just like too much else in the music world (and the rest of the world).

Amen!

It can be accidental ... or not!

wow ok....R.H.O.F. and Rolling Stone mag....do we really wanna talk about the 'politics' of music?

because that convo can't be totally finished until you talk about East Coast vs. West Coast Rap music in the 1990's, and i know about all of that because they were still talking about it when I was in college 10 years ago. Puff Daddy vs. Tupac, Vanilla Ice the 'white boy' doing rap?? and then the murders of Tupac and Notorius B.I.G.... and then the 'new'-Gangsta-Rappers like Three 6 Mafia and so many others that made Rap so dark and scary that even 2 presidents called it a danger to American society.....money, drugs, gangs and guns...and racism?....

"It was the complexion of this man's skin that made all of the controversy that surrounded his career...." Sway Calloway interviewing Rob Van Winkle about all of that history https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE5sRXF34b4

Well anyway Amethyste your U2 post reminded me about 2 NFL football halftime shows that I've seen in videos.....U2 (they've done several including at least 1 Superbowl?) and the guy that i'm listing here. This was just last year, with his Insane Clown Posse and the Houston Texans Cheerleaders

But this one's even better, partly because it's MOSCOW instead of LA and the Russian sisters in the background are looking good .....well most of them anyway

And since it's Christmas what about listening the following song...


"When two thousand years of your time has gone by,

this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry"

Very Cool Selection Amethyste! Chris de Burg has the Perfect Voice for that kind of song ... Troubadour-ish? Or so I've always imagined the wandering/singing story-tellers of the Middle Ages. And that reminds me of a very particular Moody Blues song, but I'll save it for a later time.

And Merry Christmas to you! Do you celebrate on the western or eastern/Orthodox calender? Apologies... right now I'm too lazy to look it up.

For now a sad note, on the eve of a 'joyous' Christmas for most of us...

Joe Cocker, 20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014. Rest In Peace brother. He passed away this past Monday, from cancer I believe. Just before Christmas; I feel a sadness for his family during what should be a much happier time.

In Memorium: Three songs that we will always remember him by...

[s8E6TyqMxZ0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8E6TyqMxZ0[/video]


From his best-known album, Mad Dogs and Englishman...

[WvAr9umnZ54]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvAr9umnZ54[/video]

Lennon & McCartney wrote it, but Joe took it all the way to the top.

Man. That was one of the most awesome-est live performances I've ever heard.

some of us do both

Amethyste thank you, yea that was really nice

Moon YES that last vid by Joe Cocker was SO awesome.... i was totally caught up by all of the 'soul' that he put into that performance.....i'm just without words.....ty SO MUCH for finding that one <3

1984...a great year for music and some other things as well

my favorite song by the Cars, the title doesn't even come close to defining its depth.....

"Rock and roll is truly a broad church, but each lights a candle to their vision of what it is." Bono

mo' better mood

Yep, nice finish.

Indeed. And for some odd reason, that song brought this one to mind:

"Just feel those frets."

[1J8C3jkBVto]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J8C3jkBVto[/video]

"Happy New Year Rockers!"

"We're gonna play it as hard as we can play it.

Are you willing to receive it as hard as you can receive it?"
