What's new

Last good song you listened to?

wow, some good stuff here - I haven't heard the Last Poets song probably in ages (decades), though the lyrics were displayed a Black History Month exhibit recently and the Gil Scott Heron takes me waaaayyy back too, same with the Youngbloods - always was a big fan of Jesse Colin Young

my new favorite is another from a beer commercial, funny though that listening to the entire song and watching the video, it sure does not seem like it belongs in a Blue Moon Commercial

"you can walk your long legs baby right outta my life..."

makes me think of Oogum Boogum, the song in that Kia Commercial

why I am not more familiar with Mayer Hawthorne, he's a throwback who seems to be the genuine thing


Oh, this is nice.

I got kind of randomly turned on to Benjamin Clementine a few months ago - I saw a picture of him, and wondered who he was, listened to some of his music and loved it. Like a modern, male, Nina Simone.

Dude Clementine is great, I've been into him for a couple of years can't wait for him to tour. He reminds me of Nina Simone too.

Saw Beth Orton on Friday night, she still has it.
 
Here's a woman who never got the recognition she deserved, at least not in the States:

wow, I'd forgotten all about her - and this song was my personal anthem at various points in my life (typically when I realized the end of a relationship was approaching)

I know, right? She's phenomenal.
 
I normally hate cell phone video of concerts, but this is too good a cover not to share:

Two versions of "Somewhere over the Rainbow" as different as day and night. Thanks for that.

My favorite foxy lady....

Who doesn't love Stevie Nicks?

What is it about Stevie and Fleetwood Mac that makes me think of mirrored bench tops?

She is a proper star though.

Sitting in my office doing very little annoying the colleagues by listening to my favourite band in the world.

A band I would describe as being like liquorice, you either like it or hate it.
 
Time magazine ranked this as one of the 100 best songs since the magazine was founded in 1923. They called it "a glorious example of what one guy can accomplish with just a guitar, a voice, an imagination and a set of astonishingly nimble fingers." I've heard stories of people breaking their wrists trying to figure out the fingering.

Sitting in my office thinking about my unconventional and seemingly over complicated romantic life listening to a bit of Spiritualized.

Only good things can happen when you start the day with a bit of Nick Cave.

And probably my favourite Bad Seeds line up with Blixa and Warren, a song with a references to among other things the great murdered Spanish poet Lorca.

Simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written, musically and lyrically.
