The Music Suggestion Thread

Speaking of...

Van Halen is going on tour next year with Davin Lee Roth!

taking yet another crack at mattering again, are they? Can't wait until they get together and play those tunes from 1981.

I don't care if they "matter", they were the part of the soundtrack to my teenage years and I still love them.

I saw them once, but it was after Sammy Hagar joined. Wish I'd seen them with David Lee Roth! Still, it was at Monsters of Rock, so that was pretty cool.

Careful now. You're starting to sound like Oprah.

That would be OK if I had her money, and a Steadman.

Awesome drums and bass music. Not electronically generated.

RHCP were awesome before they quit drugs.

Great suggestion - quite liking her, and the lyrics are great.

A neat counterpoint to the CD what I've got in the car atm

Cute tits. Thats a mighty dinky Martin. Not smart enough to lip-synch her own damn song?

NICE one!

(Have you seen the guy doing his "I hate religion but love Jesus" bullshit poem? This is MUCH better.)

Nice!



Some ambient stuff, I think there is some baglama saz amongst other things in this track:

Back to Disco. "Italo Disco" this time ... if I ever perform a song in a karaoke bar it has to be this one!

I just watched this, http://www.hulu.com/watch/114794/heavy- ... arking-lot" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; so I felt like flashing back to the 80's for a minute

A block-o-blues for your aural pleasure.

There is a house in New Orleans...

[SadisticCynic]

When I went to Cynic a few months back, the band that opened for them was incredible, nearly stole the show. I found out recently who they are: http://www.chimpspanner.com/media.htm

It's actually all one guy's writing!!

(If any of you liked the Animals As Leaders stuff, you'll probably like this.)

Should I have posted that?

[Freakzilla]

WE should not have to answer your questions for you asshole.

[Freakzilla]

Is that in ENGLISH?

[Lawliet]

They often sing in English too:





Anyway, they suck. But i have to admit the chorus of Hit Me is catchy.

[Freakzilla]

No offense Lawliet, but I wasn't asking you.

back to the Stan Getz & Coltrane for a moment ...

I believe I've most likely posted about this before, but this period in Jazz, from about 1957 or so to
around '63 was very influential to me & is still my favorite music (next to Willie Nelson, of course) ...

My first year Off the Farm, I really got into the Coltrane ... he was still alive, but suffering ... and even at the time
I realized that the music was changing/had changed, sometime around 62 or 63, the beginnings of the "fusion"
and more extreme "free style" ... I was an ambitious, idealistic kid from the deep-backwoods of Arkansas just
come to the "Big City" of Austin, Texas, with a scholarship & dreams ... I had experienced first-hand the cultural
tumult of the "Civil-rights Era", with very conflicting emotional & intellectual results ...

what captivated me about this music, beyond the music itself, was that it was damn near impossible to tell the "color"
of a jazz musician from a record; this video of Getz & Coltrane is a classic example ... now, of course, I'm familiar
enough with both to tell them apart by style (mostly), but still ... if this was played on vinyl in 1960, and you
were told there were two featured saxophone players, one black and one white, and ask to point out which
was which, it would've been nigh impossible ...

and that was an amazing thing to me in 1965, and still is ... out of all of the experiences that formed my opinions
on "Racial Equality" & such, falling in love with the jazz of the late 50s & early 60s was probably the most important ...
