Let's talk about music

[FreeCandy44]

Love the new QOTSA but in my eyes Josh can do no wrong. Also love the new GHOST BC album.

Just a quick Fyi, one Joshua Homme is on the Nerdist podcast.

Will be setting up my turntable this weekend and will play this first. Then maybe this:



All hail the the full side song!

[Sarcastic]

^ Add some Thin Lizzy. I'm sure you're giant a fan like me.

"If I Had a Tail"...woof, what a song.

[Sarcastic]

These two could be my favorite songs of all time. I first got into TL in the early 80's as a kid and I love the band today just as much. Their Life live record is one of the most brilliant albums I own. Musicianship and songwriting and emotion, it doesn't get better than that. John Sykes on guitar. That was the first record where I understood that a drummer isn't just for keeping time, but to actually add to the entire palette of band's sound and push the band as he pleases.

A friend sent me a link today that has the vocals iso'd from "Under Pressure".

When they recorded the vox, Freddy and Bowie pretty much improvised melodies separately without hearing what the other had done, and then they cobbled together the final melody from bits and bobs from both takes before recording the final version. Apparently the song came together from start to finish in one mammoth 24 hour writing and recording session.

Utterly brilliant, one of the best two or three rock songs of the 80s and I'd say a top 10 of all-time.

And thanks to this, I am now down the iso track rabbit hole - currently listening to Eddie Van Halen stuff. I freely admit to sporting guitar player wood, having just finished "Unchained" and "I'm The One".

This one is pretty funny:

Oooooooooh.................... I just played a prank on a co-worker, changed all his Windows event sounds (an oldie but a goodie if you pick the right sounds). I wish I had that clip 48 hours ago.

[FreeCandy44]

Wow...the new Qotsa album might be there best. Lights out, glass of wine, and headphones..wow I think im in love.

In my overall "classic" rock song pantheon, it's up there - right next to dream on and more than a feeling

debating on whether to watch game 4 or catch the somewhat-reunited Black Flag at Stage AE tonight.

Did you ever end up going to see Flag? I heard the attendance was "sparse".

[JS©]

Unfortunately I didn't. I was tired from having to head into work early (woke up at 4:30, was there sometime around 6) and never really thought about it once I got home.

Sounds like it got a good review, but yes the crowd was "thin"

Flag flies at Stage AE
The gateway from neo-hippies to old punks was the Fort Duquesne Bridge to Stage AE.
Just as the Magnetic Zeros were winding down, Flag was ready to fly inside the cavernous North Shore venue, where the turnout was thin. Flag consists of four former members of Black Flag -- Keith Morris, Chuck Dukowski, Bill Stevenson and Dez Cadena -- who were fed up with waiting around for a full-fledged reunion.
The two people most associated with Black Flag -- fourth singer Henry Rollins and founding guitarist Greg Ginn, off on his own Black Flag reunion -- are missing, but there is some legitimacy to this outfit fronted by original singer Morris, who went on to the Circle Jerks and Off!
The sonic assault they created was legit, too. With ages ranging from late 40s to late 50s, the guys in Flag raged through two-minute classics such as "I Don't Care," "Fix Me," "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" and "Wasted" with no shortage of speed, volume and fury, while the old-school punk fans crashed into each other below the stage.
The second mix was sufficiently raw and tinny as if they were back at the friendly confines of the Electric Banana. We can safely say that nostalgia trips back 30 years don't usually come with this much pent-up noise, energy and aggression.
