Re: Music
OhhhhhhhhhEXPLICATIVE "Ten Years Gone" is my most favorite -ever- Led Zep song and I haven't heard it in too long.
Mmm.
Delicious.
Here is a cover of another old favorite, with a new and very very playful spin.

Re: Music
Speaking of playful.
I realize most of you are into rock and its variants so this absolutely won't be to your tastes, and the sound quality isn't good..
but
... on a rainy day this guy makes me happy. Look at him! Joy spilling out all over. Pretty sure he was creating most of it as it was being video'd:

Great cover of one of my favorite Tull songs. A bit more laconic in tone or even despondent, as fits the theme. Will mos def check out more from Turisas!

Have a chat to Phil - he's our resident keyboardist.

That song in its eventual CD form is more evolved and of course cleaner. His music is mostly good and sometimes great with a few real clunkers, and not something I'm always in the mood for, but, as I said, when I'm blue sometimes he's the perfect anti-depressant.
Mostly I like watching him. Find it inspiring. Admire his uninhibitedness (yes yes text editor I made up that word). He's such a strange person, strange looks and speaking mannerisms. I imagine meeting him out in meat space and wondering if I'd ever know that inside he has all that genuine creativity ready to burst. Hoping what fame he's acquired doesn't ruin him.

While I have eclectic tastes in music, it seems more often than not I am listening to things like this

I like the threat level undertones of that song especially. Really like listening to it while reading here or trying to consume a franc blog post.

Re: Music
Some great covers of the same amazing song... goosebumps. Great storytelling, some pitch black humour (Roland the headless thompson gunner... he aimed his gun and didn't say a word)
Jackson Browne -- Roland the Thompson Gunner (Warren Zevon)
some glitches, still great performance.

Another very good cover, and the original....
Interesting, how each cover get's the chorus chords wrong (they play them like the latter part of the verse)

Warren Zevon corrupted me at a young age and turned me into a cynic. I thank him for that, and what a swell cover of Roland!

Re: Music
I come from a time where people listened to stuff like creedence, led zepplin, rolling stones and deep purple.
I still listen to that and have also broadened my musical appreciation to some more recent stuff, such as dub step and metal, disturbed and skrillex etc. I believe you should listen to as much different stuff as possible, there is always something new going on, it's great.

I like that somewhat Lalo Schifrin 60s agent thriller style tune by Portishead.

Indeed, even new genres created where you'd think everything was said and done. I'm also listening to nearly everything, though more selected pieces of each genre.flemshot007 wrote:I come from a time where people listened to stuff like creedence, led zepplin, rolling stones and deep purple.

Springsteen said of Zevon that he was; "An idealist is cynic's clothing".Matt Cavanaugh wrote:I'm a cover junkie.Aneris wrote:Some great covers of the same amazing song... goosebumps. Great storytelling, some pitch black humour

Regardless, his song titles alone were better than most artist's lyrics. I managed to see him live once, at The Wiltern Theater in LA in 1990 (or thereabouts) and can't believe he's been dead a decade.
Sonofabitch could tell more story in three to five minutes than most novelists do in a career.
Re: Music
I've been listening to Gnaw's album, 'Horrible Chamber' lately. Gnaw's vocalist, Alan Dubin, used to be in Khanate and O.L.D.
I enjoy listening to music like this and I listen to it daily.
Here is their song 'Water Rite'.

who's teenage angst could not be sated by Portishead? Wasn't there a law in Hollywood in tge 90s that every movie required to have at least one Portishead song?Aneris wrote:I like that somewhat Lalo Schifrin 60s agent thriller style tune by Portishead.
