Getting to hear some new music, to me, and it is sounding good. Never heard of Chris Stapleton before. Not really hear much country music over here. More the old time stuff. That was good to listen to. I know Kid Rock. Have heard a few of their songs before. Then a nice relaxing piece of music to begin with. Sleeping at last. Good name for a piece of music. Just so relaxing. I did once stumble upon a CD by this man. Townes Van Zandt.

Okay, I think I have heard of Van Zandt before but I have never heard his music. At least I don't think so. But, I am inlove now. The kind of music dreams are made of!! Our Mother Mountain, being my favorite of the three!
Here's some Tangerine Dream with Loved By The Sun from one of the best movies I've seen.
Some Crosby Stills and Nash. This song is so hauntingly beautiful.
And Coldplay's Yellow because this is my song to my daughter. I heard it for the first time the day after she was born <3

Crosby, Stills and Nash I know well enough. Love them singing. Myself and Coldplay don't go well together. Think I described them as one of the most boring bands ever to exist. I can see why people might like them. Just wish the lead singer would cheer up some. :p love by the sun. Trying to think who it reminds me of. Never heard it before. Like it. It's been a while sounds good too. That new style of metal that everybody seems to be trying out lately.

Going back to the 80's next. Talking heads. One of the best bands to come out of the 80's. Lead singer took a 2 year break from the band and the rest of the members went on to form the Tom Tom club. Who also became big.

As i am just back from doing the shopping, I may as well post a few more songs to go with ones above. Bloody roasting out there. Who is up for a bit of punk music? Probably nobody. Have been known over the years to go from skinhead look to mohawk look. Depends on my mood. More skinhead these days. As the hair is getting more grey with age. :p

Shall we start with The Slits? All female punk band. This is a cover of a classic song. i heard it through the grapevine. Only their version sounds nothing like the original version. Which I like.


The second song speaks for itself. Don't know if we have any out there.


Little bit of Sham 69 to end with. Hurry up Harry. Anybody want to come down the pub with us?

No idea if any of you have ever heard of Ian Dury before? Dead by now. Amazing singer. Though his songs can have double meanings. Others just cut straight to the point.


He had a disability. Had to wear a leg brace for years. Walked with a stick in his later years. Always got slagged in school / growing up. So he sang a song about it all.

David Gray. The man with one good album. White ladder. Before that album his songs were very bad. The white ladder album is perfect in every sense of the word. Some great songs on it. But he never did follow it up. He lives off that one album. Proved by his last tour which was an anniversary tour of that album. Be it 20 years of whatever. Which is a shame really. That he couldn't make another good album.

Agreed. I think maybe he had the perfect album and didn't want to ruin it with more rubbish. Or maybe he just couldn't come up with anything more. Or maybe he fell inlove. That happens sometimes to singers. They go off and fall inlove and just don't want to write anymore. But I do appreciate that one perfect album. Never heard Jack Johnson before tonight. Sweet songs. I enjoy how his voice is a tad louder than the music and the music is soft and light.
Joji, I found in tiktok. Hush now. I know tiktok is trash but I did have a momentary lapse of reason :) and am thankful in some ways. Now Silent Lucidity I remember hearing as a young one and instantly being drawn to it. As I have gotten older I have thought about attempting to learn lucid dreaming but always had my reservations. I have had one night of lucid dreaming. It was pretty well don't even have words. Anyways. I only like two or three of Queensryche's songs.
Finally, Robert Plant and Allison Krauss. Same lady who sings Down To The River To Pray. I saw them in concert when they were on tour. At one point, Robert was introducing their next song and I took the opportunity to yell, " I LOVE YOU ROBERT PLANT!" And without missing a beat he spoke into the microphone. " I love you, too." One of the best nights of my life!!

First one not bad at all. Hard to understand his wording. Glad the lyrics were there. Second one I had heard before. Good band. Third one is says is unavailable. But I know the songs they did together. Had the album here.

Going to be different to begin with. Using a video I made myself when a friend passed away. Easy to tell who the friend was. She is in all the pictures. Died a few years back. Just thought I would do what I do best. Create.


Ska music was always going to enter this thread at some stage. My first love. Hence the skinhead image and shades. Love the music.

Just some more Ska music. More Madness to begin with.


Next we will move on to the beat. In the US the had to call themselves the English beat.


Now a love song to alcohol. Yes. A band actually wrote a love song about alcohol.
