Music- What are you listening to?

**Bobl** · June-27-09, 11:13 PM

Ok, Ok, not wanting to thread grab, this will be my last entry here for a while.

"I Walk On Guilded Splinters", by Dr. John

Due to the lack of work situation, couldn't make it to the show tonight. The thing is, I miss the pops and cracks from the old vinyl album that contributed to the vibe of this song. Digital version is too clean!
Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Beyonce - Above And Beyonce [[at this rate, Ciara or Keri will have a difficult time catching or surpassing Beyonce)

Early gospel music. This song rocks. I just read about this lady in a book I am reading. I never heard of her before. Thanks to the magic of You Tube, here she is:

Yes, sort of like some black and white movies should have been left that way.

Wasn't it Turner that went on the "colorization" kick about some 10-15yrs back with their MGM catalog?
Listening to Steppenwolf's "Hey Lawdy Mama".

Fred Astaire? I thought he was a dancer.

You are correct about that.
Vet was summing up Michael Jackson's talents.

Going to listen to Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls", then follow it up with Boston's "Foreplay/Long Time".

Don't sweat the noise that followed your explanation. It is the thought [[yours - the explanation you gave), that counts. I know, a cliche. But true in this case.

Rock on with Queen.

Fred Astaire was an exceptionally talented jazz singer. He translated his natural sense of rhythm to his vocal chords. Not strong, but swinging.

ccbatson · July-05-09, 09:03 PM

Yea, Jackson was exceptionally talented...too bad he was such a twisted and evil freak.

ccbatson · July-07-09, 09:04 PM

I had not heard much of Fred Astaire singing other than incidentally in some of his movies.

**MoparDan** · July-07-09, 09:50 PM

John Fogerty: "Centerfield", "Rock & Roll Girls"
Jim Croce: "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues"

**Ray1936** · July-08-09, 10:47 AM

Prelude and Fugue in B Flat Minor for well tempered clavicord. Interesting countermelodies.

**rajdet** · July-09-09, 10:40 AM

I haven't posted on this thread in a while because I have been listening to the same thing for a month, Children of Men [[Music from the Motion Picture), Eternity's Sunrise. Sarah Connelly's voice just blows me away!
It seams I have abandoned my jazz, funk, and hip hop roots, and am exploring my classical dark side. That should make Ray1936 happy.

ask him if he's happy

"It seams I have abandoned my jazz, funk, and hip hop roots, and am exploring my classical dark side. That should make Ray1936 happy."

You bet! In fairness, though, I also get great enjoyment out of Frank, Dean, and the immortal Gogi Grant.

Ray 1936 -- Oh, that "Wayward Wind" is a restless wind. Sigh.

Mambo Sun, T-Rex. Oh hell, all of Electric Warrior.

Jeez, Stosh, you brought back a few smiles! Haven't heard that album in too long. Got the old vinyl out and hissed and popped back to the daze!

Some lyrics:
With my hat in my hand
I'm a hungry man for you
I got stars in my beard
And I feel real weird for you.
Beneath the bebop moon
I'm howling like a loon for you
Beneath the Mambo Sun
I've got to be the one for you

Ah, the days of howling like a loon......for anyone!
