🎵 Music
🎶🎵 Today I learned that Zane Lowe is in New Zealand and opened for Groove Armada at their Auckland gig on Saturday
I really need to pay more attention … AHEAD of time.
🎶🎵 The Sound Track Of My Life is another old post that popped up over the weekend when i was searching for other stuff.
It was meant to be a ‘living post’. It clearly died.
I merged it with other things I am writing in Obsidian.
One day it might make it back into the wild.
🎶🎵 7 years ago I was listening to The Loop, which is probably why I wrote A Letter To Jim Dalrymple and Merlin Mann. They were clearly chatting about music and I obviously took issue.
-
Never heard anything back.
-
Not sure why it was Merlin and not Dave on the show.
If you don’t like 🎶🎵 Yes … Don’t bother.
If you like Yes… But hate Topographic Oceans … Don’t bother.
🎶🎵 NME on Blink-182’s New Single
I really like Edging … BUT .. I take issue with the label ‘progressive’.
Yes - I think they have progressed from some of their earlier work - but no - it is not ‘Progressive’ .. am I getting pedantic in my old age?
🎶🎼🎵 New (to me) from New Zealand … Tablefox
🎶🎼🎵 Love me some Tears For Fears … just a few favourites from a recent session … songs ‘old’ and ‘new’. Enjoy!
🎙️🎵🎶 Nice to listen in to your conversation @martinfeld and @lmika - thankyou.
A different kind of musical note … check out the work of Vivian Stanshall and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Viv provided ‘MC’ services for all those lines you referenced, including;
“Spanish Guitar and introducing acoustic guitar”
The Bonzo’s track Death Cab For Cutie also gave that band their name.
Love me some solid (English) Progressive.
🎶🎵 Why singalong 70s pop was edgier than you think.
I don’t buy it!
🎶 🎵 🎼 Guyville : Boys + Girls With Guitars Takes You On An Intriguing Sonic Journey
.. out of LA -
🎶 🎵 🎼 This just spotted in The Grauniad
But, if you only have one click in you use it here … if you want to spend a good 30 minutes crying (in a good way).
🎶 It’s a cover of Alan Parson’s Eye In The Sky.
… a very good cover - and with just two people performing.
You will only be disappointed if you don’t like the original to begin with.
🎶 Vangelis Dead: Oscar-Winning Blade Runner Composer Gone at 79
Chariots of Fire seems to be the other headline.
I haven’t seen one that reads ‘Keyboard Player for Aphrodite’s Child’.
🎶🎵 As a 60s ‘pop song’, 🔗 Simon Dupree and the Big Sound’s Kites has always had a place in my heart.
As a progressive band, 🔗 Gentle Giant sits in my personal pantheon of musical influence.
Just discovered today that the latter were essentially the same band as the former. 🤯
🎶 🎵 Remember Labi Siffre?
I liked his stuff at the time, but never really kept track of him.
This podcast with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt woke me up to everything this man is and stands for.
Well worth a listen.
