And then your mind explodes...in audio ecstasy...or something like that...

heart:

Did you ever listen to any of the streaming music on Shoutcast?

The eastern music...symphonically --- is just so sensual...

ever listen to

Paint it black

back to back with My world is empty without you babe

it is the same song

No -- never did...I did think Oliver Stone's use of the song at the close of Platoon was masterful...

It seems the melody is woven into the rap, but they are not the "same" song...its like MIA weaving in Straight to Hell by the Clash...or MC Hammer weaving in Rick James' Super Freak into You Can't Touch This...

But it is catchy...

If there wasn't Elton's mother there wouldn't be an Elton!

Oh G, there are so many beautiful variations on a theme....Far too many for all that purity! Just enjoy it G.

You know, sometimes I think the most beautiful voices in the world come from people who really can't sing so well. Just the average person pouring their heart out in voice or instrument. That's their own contribution and creation and each is like a little flower. There are a lot of hybrids, they are not all pure roses, but that doesn't make them any less sweet when they are formed as good as that person can form them. They are all beautiful in their own ways. They are the songs of humanity, good and bad, it's the heart in them that matters to me.

How did we lose Wilson? I would love to hear from someone younger about music. I don't think my kids have very good taste in music. At least the youngest has loads of humor. The older one is just soooo quiet.

I'll get back to listening here. Thanks for the great tunes guys.

Do you know who Eubie Blake is G?

I guess you get your wish to be a DJ after all G.

yeah, I sure do. I saw him perform in NYC in the 70s, and met him and his wife (I think it was his wife),once after a show. He was incredible.

I don't have the voice to be a DJ (too New Yawkish)...

Youtube and the net makes it easy to pick and choose any songs.

and I am not ashamed to say I like some stuff other people cringe at or think is corny or as it used to be called bubblegum.

Eubie Blake
Charelston Rag & Memories of you (done when he was 98)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AumTplO9I-s

in the last decade, I went back musically to some real oldies
The 1910's and 1920s
Do you know there are a few people who had 100s of hits, even though they are totally forgotten today

Billy Murray (no relation to Bill) is one of the biggest
See you in CUBA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehUSElG3VeU

Henry Burr (who recorded under many alias')
When I lost you (from 1913)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLJahb-6PkQ

He was the MASTER MAN!

The boys great-grandfather owned the saloon in Baltimore where Eubie Blake first started playing. It was a "saloon" before prohibition and a "speak-easy" after prohibition...but, it was a house of rather ill-repute as I understand it through all of those years. I have a piece of music about that saloon that Eubie Blake wrote, that no one else can play...Or at least no one I've been able to find can play it.

oh, and those people are not forgotten to me at all!

there is a line of progression-
If it weren't for Henry Burr and Billy Murray, you most likely would not have had Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra, and Elvis, and the Beatles, and Elton
and anyone after that

One of my favorite songs is Dancing in the Dark, Bing Crosby's (not the Springsteen song, which I also love, but it's a different Dancing in the dark)
It is incredible to me how complex the song is for such an early era
1931 written by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITD_fzU-hGc

Well G, that's one of your endearing qualities

In that spirit, I'll fess up too. If it weren't for all the great schlock I like, and bubble gum music, there wouldn't be enough glue to keep my feet on the ground.

Here is my answer when others might think they need to go to therapy, this is what I do instead.

Feelin' Groovy
© Paul Simon Art Garfunkel
The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)
( Simon & Garfunkel )

Slow down, you move too fast
You've got to make the morning last
Just kickin' down the cobble stones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy!
(La,la,la,la,la,la, feelin' groovy)

Hello, lamp post, whatcha knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing
Ain't ya got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo, feelin' groovy!
(La,la,la,la,la,la, feelin' groovy)

Got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you, all is groovy!
(La,la,la,la,la,la, feelin' groovy)
(La,la,la,la,la,la, feelin' groovy)

The others may be "crush" songs, but not this one. This one is an honest, adult, but heart-filled love song.

I just downloaded it!

Thanks!

I like Jackson Browne's new cd: Time The Conqueror

Going Down to Cuba
And this song especially...read the lyrics G. You'll like them

I felt like this a lot over the past year.

The back up vocals are so crisp and beautiful too.

I guess the angels have decided I'm going to get a musical education! No sense fighting it! Though I'm not sure I process it that way, or if I'll ever really understand. I keep trying, so thanks for helping.

I do have a question....Can you tell me what is REALLY new? Like, something in the past 10 years that no one has done before?



Awww...Thanks Mr DJ!

This is one of my favorite songs (Please G, don't tell me who did this originally, or who started it all on this particular group, cause this is also one of my favorite Bands of all time)

100 Games of Solataire

I was using crush to refer to my/our phrase "crush of beauty" --- a song that overwhelms the senses and elicits a passionate and moving response bordering on tears...

Glad you enjoyed.

if you want something different it has to be hip-hop.

Johnny Cash's version of Hurt was something different, and has led to 100s of immitations(most wanting to do it with Rick Rubin).
Although its not new, as it reverts back 40 years or so.

Anyone doing old time country is new compared to the dreck on mainstream country radio

btw-something different?
How bout my mixing together some 30 years ago and making a 90 minute single medley of Harry Chapin's Sniper/& David Bowie's Space Oddity.
(and that was the short version).

go back to the 60s for "crush" songs

Neil Diamond did about 10 of them

I also like Four Non Blondes...

Of course, I am a Connery, Lazenby, Dalton fan so that may be why I think so...

Many think his being blonde is a disqualifier but I like his dark side like Dalton and Connery...

He should be a man of mystery...

Crush of Beauty songs Graham...not crush songs...

Songs that take you away because of their beauty and passion and emotional drive...

Songs like Hurt for me or Stand or Fall by the Fixx or New Year's Day by U2....

Not songs about crushes my friend...

Oh yeah, the "crush of beauty". That's what you meant. I agree.



Is that a title to die for or what? "Quantum of Solace". It just rolls off the tongue. I've always loved the sound of the letter Q.

The song is divine too. They managed to do it again, but updated it. That's fascinating to me. I have to get that soundtrack.

hmmm...Jack White of the White Stripes
He mangaged to update and do Loretta Lynn too on her cd a couple of years ago she released with him.(LUCKY JACK). whatever it is I meant by that.
Country did not touch it, but modern rock radio did. Like Hurt...Hurt was the best damn country song of the last 10 years, and they refused to play it
Yet every kid in America knows it from rock radio.
And country radio wonders why their ratings are down. Maybe try listening and expanding.

Of course, Johnny Cash was a radical liberal to some of those country stations in the era of Bush. Flucking hypocrites that they are.

Johnny Cash, another JC that was almost a God. What is about those initials?
BTW, then Barry Gibb bought his house in Nashville, and it promplty burnt to the ground. Total ruin.
I love the BGS, but you don't live in the House of Go...I mean Cash and think the spirit will allow that.

That house is no longer stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

George Strait and Patty Loveless
House of Cash
here is songwriter Leslie Satcher's own version of it (I think, its early in the morning, don't want to wake anyone up, so I do not have the sound on).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBjd_fpPQrU

me too!

I may have related how I met Johnny -- the one and only time I saw him...

I was waiting on line at a portajohn before Clinton's inauguration in the mall in DC...

I heard this deep voice behind me and my wife to be and friend said -- that's Johnny Cash -- and sure enough -- we offered to let him cut in front of us and he said no...he was on a float in the parade -- I assume for Tennessee and Al Gore...though he was born in Arkansas...what a perfect gentleman he was -- so humble...I miss him dearly.

One of my life's regrets is never seeing him perform live...

And then there is bluegrass…speeking of Cash...

I really love that bands entire sound. Lyrics, music, and everything. Of course, I can't tell you why, but if someone wants to tell me why I'm all ears.

But, my favorite Cranberries song is not as popular, it's this one:

This is the Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml5buBn3F4w

And this one, for special sweetness in life:

You and Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHYP9iUvKSA

Graham,

A guy I know who used to manage a couple of bands, told me a story about Rosanne Cash. He said that she was performing someplace and John and June secretly got tickets to go see her. Well, when she came out on stage to introduce herself, not knowing her parents were there, she said "I'm Rosanne Cash, and I put the "C@nT in Country". When she found out here parents were there she just about died!

She has a sweet voice doesn't she?

Graham it's really hard for me to listen to this song so I won't. It's got a great sound and sentiment about her Dad. I know you like these things so here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpQjT1XKMfY
