OT: The Semi-Annual, Taste Optional Music Thread: Post Your Mid-Winter Blues Music

I like hearing Running Up the Hill everywhere but it’s weird that nobody knew this song lol

Always been partial to this version as an unapologetic Pink Floyd mark.

Apparently Gilmour was in no small part responsible for Bush getting 'discovered' when she was a teen. A mutual friend passed him her demo and he was so impressed that he tracked her down and financed a more professional tape that he passed to folks at EMI

High School me glumly stared out of the bus window to this song many times

I never liked FM but this was on the radio the other day and it’s really good. Sounds like a Eurythmics song

LCD Soundsystem playing 4 nights in a small venue in SF in August…trying to get tix…I believe first concerts since 2018…

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have made a return. Not bad:



And then I discovered this band via YT suggestions after the video above:

For all of his faults James Murphy puts on a hell of a show.

Femi Kuti is great, it's a tough act to follow his dad, but dude does not disappoint.

On a related note, King Sunny Ade has been my weekend jam music for a few weeks now. Check him out if you're into the juju and afropop.

My family lost our 16 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel last night. She was rescued from an abusive owner prior to us and surely had her oddities that came as a result, but she was an amazingly sweet girl.

I’d like to think that this song helped me give her the best life imaginable.

I'm sad to heart that, dude, but you gave that good girl a great life and that's worth toasting.

I put on my "liked" playlist and added the first 20 songs to the playlist above.

I'll admit to slight disappointment that this was not, in fact, a cover of the John Cafferty song from Rocky IV.


I've had a bit of a break lately from good melodeath and I think it's time to return.

It is one of those gross swamp-ass hot days here in the Old Country, so let's listen to a little swampy ass country.

Oh hay, it's EMELEM, the rapper here to sell you some herbal supplements that are guaranteed to cure cancer, demonic possession, and the urge to see a girl's boobies.

People get on Paul sometimes. I get it to a degree and start to get a headache from the vast majority of Wings songs. But Ram is a masterpiece.
