OT: Music 6

[buggs]

Would seem to be the season and given I am at the Jets game tomorrow night it is improbable that I will make my traditional Friday post. I will likely be drinking Christmas eve and posting, but in case I get a life and do not I wish you all the best of the season be it Christmas, Hanukah, Festivus, Kwanzaa or whatever you may or may not celebrate. I truly enjoy this community, conflict and all and very much appreciate those inclined to the music thread. I have found many gems from others here and feel indebted for what has been brought to my attention that I would otherwise have missed.



Arguably a hugely influential song from my youth. I recall going to the school library to watch this from a film projector. CBC would broadcast it but if you missed it the library would back you up. The Peanuts gang was big for me. I still have a thing for redheaded girls. Curse you Charlie Brown.


The avatar should explain the following. It is one of my nicknames amongst my friends.

 

[John Agar]

For Paul Maurice....

I’m a big Rolling Stones fan, but I’ve always liked Streetheart’s cover more:

Way better than the Stone's version.
Spider... that bass!

@chaos4 is back.

 

[chaos4]

Recognize anyone...
Tolkien nerds like me will.


I think of Sunfest when I hear Pearl Jam.



Love

 

[chaos4]

@chaos4 is back.

Haha yaasss!
Always here on the periphery!
May get some cable in the new year, and catch a game with you guys!
Until then.. You know it..

The best "if you are having a bad day" song ever.

My super honey, and my ringtone

May be blasphemy for some, I like Perfect Strangers more than Kashmir.

Welcome back, I missed your contributions. Definitely love Deep Purple. Music is subjective, ya like what ya like and more power to ya.

One of the most underrated bands of all time, IMO:

 

[John Agar]

Just chillin' on a chilly Wednesday night...

It's night... but there is light...

My favorite Christmas tune because it's a little different than normal. Merry Christmas to all you bastards here on our Jets board.

 

[Jets 31]

My Dad played this every Christmas morning LOUD.

@buggs got me listening to these guys, girls, they are very good at putting twists on songs .

 

[Blowfish]

3 variations on a riff. Kinda interesting I thought.

Well done!

 

[Jets 31]

Good tune.

 

[AlphaLackey]

I play this every Christmas Eve as the sun sets. It's standard J-Pop stereotype stuff -- chirpy and pleasant beat combined with lyrics about the horrible loneliness of pining for a deceased lover -- but it's a chance to think of all the people I miss; my own Angels of Christmas Eve, whose bells chiming I can hear in my heart to announce that Christmas is here.

 

[AlphaLackey]

And while I'm talking about musical stereotypes, like if it's a Spanish language song about a woman, it seems it's entirely approbative about a woman who is completely unhinged.

Like okay, take the standard old "Livin' La Vida Loca" we all know and love, yeah? I found the Spanish version and started working through it, and here's the first two verses in translation:

The queen of the night,
the voodoo goddess.
I can't save myself.
Can you save yourself?

The spider's web,
the dragon's claw.
She'll take you to hell,
she's your addiction.

She'll kiss you and undress you with her crazy dance.
You close your eyes and let yourself get dragged away.

... like holy shit, Scoob, what woman is he singing about? Grendel's mother?

Eh, but if Ricky Martin is singing it, he can make it sound sexy, so I guess it's okay

10 hours may be too much, but only by a little.

[SUX2BU]

From a good Canadian band whose singer plays the sheriff on Yellowstone

Time for some unreal Angus.
