I listened to Childish Gambino today. But... more importantly, I’ve challenged both ecib and mk to give me some travel tunes. I am coming off the heels of my grandfathers funeral, in which my super talented cousin Samantha, sang a favorite song of my grandfather, John Denver’s “Today.” Before you judge, listen. It’s beautiful.
Road trip album that is AMAZING: Guy Clark - Workbench Songs. This is just brilliant music, played well, by a guy who has walked a long hard road.
Today was a lullaby sung by my wife's mother to my wife, and by my wife to my daughter. She calls it "the Strawberry song." It is a truly lovely tune. Another heavy rotator is Pete Seeger's "Where have all the flowers gone." Although to be honest it's probably Peter Paul & Mary's version that's being cribbed.
Where have all the flowers gone was a song in heavy rotation in our family too. Great memories, thank you for sharing
My road trip playlists lean towards stoner metal by day and swirlygoth by night.
Someone recommended this to me as one of their favourite 2018 releases. Khruangbin – Con Todo El Mundo playlist. And so here they are live, too:
I've also heard Psychedelic Thai or... sorry, can't help myself ... Thaichedelia? They are beguiling though.
It's been fairly random lately, as my daughter is really into music now (and likes everything, but especially anything uptempo). Obviously I do need to watch the lyrics, since she's old enough now to repeat things.
My boss's daughter used to camp out in the back of my office listening to the music when he'd bring her in then be in meetings all day. I had a spare external hard drive laying around, so I gave her a copy of my mp3 collection. My boss was very annoyed with me when she did a school presentation on her favorite poet, Lydia Lunch.
That song gave me a don't bore us, get to the chorus moment. It was kind of a painfully self aware moment. I'm kinda Ok with it because I just don't like most instrumentals and I'm listening to Devo right now so I obviously like the smell of my own farts by randomly mentioning that detail for no apparent reason. I like a bit of jazz. RZA from Wu Tang did a Charles Mingus remix. So I'll post it to make this comment vaguely relevant instead of deleting it
I may be younger than you but I'm not young enough that Lords of Acid was a thing that was popular in certain circles before I was born. Those people exist and are buying alcohol and tobacco. More so the latter I was there and appreciated the novelty if nothing else and then listened to pure shit like Korn
Now I just want everyone to awkwardly segue from one band to another. I got my haircut a few months ago and the lady who did it mentioned a song on the radio sounding like a Peaches song so my brain went to this one which was obviously wrong I wanted to ask that chick out but I ain't got no game
I want more female rockstars who wouldn't have been invited to Lilith Fair Maybe the last two would have been invited. I was just thinking about how much different my taste in music is now than when I was in school. I listen to very little punk and metal now. I guess I prefer my angry music more cynical, sarcastic and hidden behind pop hooks and less confrontational now. Reading lots of books and going to art school probably made me appreciate more literate music which tends to be more common in singer-songwriter stuff. Jello Biafra is a smart dude but he doesn't write with subtlety. A drive angry song of mine No coincidence that Tom Morello's on it and RATM is the only metal band from my youth that's also on my phone now.
kleinbl00 keeps engaging me in a tongue in cheek back and forth I started with the kind of stupid stream of consciousness comment that I'm prone to. Anyway I keep coming back to this thread. I knew that Bruce song was a cover. Holy shit the original 12 string blues version is badass. I just checked it out like three minutes ago
Always listening to a bunch of stuff... On the novel side of things... A bit of Anatolian psyche from the 70's Can't stop playing this hour plus long edit of Summer Madness, someone is going to freak out and stab me in the heart over it. Someday, someone on hubski will fall in love with John Maus
Somebody already loves him Coulda sworn I posted the video for "believer" here way back when, but search isn't showing it. Coulda been with my old ghosted account. Fuck it, great song, great album: That's a live show I wouldn't mind seeing.
