We haven't had a music thread in a while. Here's my latest earwig..

When you're finished with that, listen to this. Go straight to hell, boys.

I heard a remake of the old David Essex song "rock on" today. I decided to find the original on youtube. You know what? It didn't need to be remade. It was just fine as it was.

I was 10 when that song was new. And it's still good.

by the scummy one

listening to a song unheard for a while just seems very good.
But till I decide to install Flash on this system, I am done till Monday.

P.S. -- Thanks for the thread. After your first post, I looked for grim reaper, and that led me to look for black N blue.

by maecuff

This isn't music that I would normally listen to, but I really enjoyed this.

And once again, I feel my horizon's expanding.

by michael jay

that video is kinda strange, but the music is good.

Remember that from 1976 and that made me a Franks fan for life.

Kinda sad that he was such a hard head that he got blacklisted from the radio shortly thereafter.

Still a great talent.

That Sonja Thompson writes and sings?

Try Googling her name. Look for CNET sites. You'll get
there.

Can't put all the cookies on the low shelf, can I?

by the scummy one

I am at home now. I dont have flash or java enabled, so no Youtube :(

somethin to do for Monday when I am back on the work system I guess :)

by tig2

You can download her music from CNET Download.com.

No flash required, no java required.

Free MP3s!

And that reminded of my son, who is now 9 years old. When he was fine, he was walking around singing this:

God made man
But he used the monkey to do it
Apes in the plan
Were all here to prove it
I can walk like an ape
Talk like an ape
I can do what a monkey can do
God made man
But a monkey supplied the glue

I told him, Honey, I know you like Devo, but don't sing that around Grandma, she'll get upset. :)

by boxfiddler Hot topic

Thanks for those.

Gads after this thread I'm gonna have to take on another job so I can have music money for awhile!

by maecuff

The other thing I've had fun watching is old ZZ Top music. I love TV Dinners and Velcro Fly. There was a youtube of Velcro Fly with all Russell Crowe pictures. Perfect. Who could ask for anything more...

Why can't you be more like Endicott?

by the scummy one

was their best personally. However 'legs' was my fav on that one

Another band I gotta look up again, I liked a bit of 38 special.

by maecuff

Awesome!

"Timothy" used to creep me the f*ck out when I was a little kid.

We must be close to the same age..

Just don't tell JD, he'll make fun of you.

by boxfiddler Hot topic

will be a 'dead' giveaway! :D

After tonight I don't care who makes fun of me. What a hoot seeing what I can find. It would be easier if I could post my own mp3's, however...

by maecuff

My husband does NOT remember Wildwood flower. He just downloaded a sh!tload of 70s music for me LAST weekend and that was one of them. It's been years since I heard it, but I remembered every word!

by maecuff

We (hubby and I) have had the 'which sense could you give up first: sight or hearing? It wouldn't be easy, but I'd give up my hearing over sight. He said no way. He couldn't live without music.

by boxfiddler Hot topic

give up sight first any old day. I'd miss the music, the birds, the tree frogs, even the crickets. But life is getting kind of ugly to look at of late...
Besides, I've had bad eyes since first grade.

edit to add: thanks for the new to me in the This video post somewhere above! Good stuff.

by maecuff

We have more music than we could ever use :)

My husband loves to make a good mix. I'll send you what you want. (his jukebox has over 25k songs on it)

by maecuff

Looking forward to it! I'll have my husband work on it in the morning. He loves tapping into his inner DJ..:)

by boxfiddler Hot topic

geez but that Roger Daltry is hot! Did you ever catch him in the Highlander series? Ooh ooh speaking of hot -- Adrian Paul. Cripes but he should be outlawed! ;)

by maecuff

It's a practical choice. If I had my sight, I could still go to the grocery store. I could still drive to work..and I'd like to see my grandkids.

Besides, I have a never ending jukebox in my head. It's nice, mostly. But when I can't sleep at night because Muskrat Love is playing in a loop, I'd like to pull my brain out. :)

by boxfiddler Hot topic

but there are a few doubles in that one. I'll start copying CD's this weekend. You are gonna get a sh*tload.

by boxfiddler Hot topic

I expected a few more music buffs for some reason.
Scummy One you better have some good stuff for us when you check in on Monday! ;)

by the scummy one

notebook and guess what. Logged in as W2k

I replayed hold on to 18, and found another (forgotten) one. Chains around heaven.
Now I wanna go get the cd..

by the scummy one

I bought this album and the casette way back when. Dont have them no more, but the remastered version of this lbum costs $47.95 on Amazon.

F*** that. I guess I'll go another 15 years without it...

by w2ktechman

but I was just playing electric avenue -- lol. Been a long time since I heard it. Never really a fav, but still, been a while ya know?

by w2ktechman

cause me thinks i'm gonna blow my paycheck at the record store tomorrow, or at least a portion of it.

by maecuff

You made it longer than I did!

I had to stop and go to bed. (I fought tequila and tequila won). We had fun though. I'll be sending you some tunes this weekend.

by boxfiddler Hot topic

With rare exception I've worked nights all my life. Drives the OH nuts, but he knew what he was getting into... Or maybe that's should have known. On the bright side, yes we had a ball and my brain is still spinning! I've probably used them all up last night, and the next one I won't have anything! lol

by maecuff

1. Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..."

2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."

3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes...sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, And she weighs 500 pounds."

4. The Blues is not about choice. You're stuck in a ditch, you're stuck in a ditch - ain't no way out.

5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train, blues NEVER go on the northbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.

6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.

7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain.

8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you were skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause an alligator be chomping on it is.

9. You can't have no Blues in an office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.

10.Good places for the Blues: a. highway b. jailhouse Bad places for the Blues: a. Nordstrom b. gallery openings c. Ivy League institutions d. golf courses

11.No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be an old person, and you slept in it for the last 6 months.

12.Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if: a. you're older than dirt b. you're blind c. you shot a man in Memphis Not if: a. you have all your teeth b. you were once blind but can see c. the man in Memphis lived d. you have a 401K or trust fund now

13.Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got leg up on the blues.

14.If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are: a. muddy water b. nasty black coffee

The following are NOT Blues beverages: a. Perrier b. Chardonnay c. Snapple d. Slim Fast

15.If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broken down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.

16.Some Blues names for women: a. Sadie b. Big Mama c. Bessie d. Fat River Dumpling

17.Some Blues names for men: a. Joe b. Willie c. Little Willie d. Big Willie

18.Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.

19."Make your own Blues Name" Starter Kit: a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.) b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Kiwi, etc.) c. last name of a President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.) For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Pegleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")

20.I don't care how tragic your life: if you own even one computer, you cannot sing the blues. If you are reading this on a computer - maybe you cannot sing the Blues - but you sure can listen to it?

by maecuff

I can't help it if it becomes an earwig. That is through no fault of my own. You, on the other hand, had to actually go an find it. On purpose.
