What are you listening to right now?

[Annoying Twit]

Do you really think it would work with a man singing it? Not sure here. What makes the song so effectively sad is that the woman who's singing (the character, if you will) wants true love but men only use her for sex. I'm afraid it would have an unintentional comic effect if a man sang those lyrics, claiming women were only after him for his body :)

Don H. could re-work the lyrics to express the boredom and disillusionment of a playboy. JD Souther could teach a master's course on the subject, no doubt.

You're right. I listened to it while at work, so my concentration was elsewhere. I tend to listen to music first and lyrics second, and didn't notice the gendered message of the song. See username for explanation.

I do think that Don's voice and phrasing would suit the melody, but am now fully aware of the challenge of the lyrics.

Having carefully read the lyrics and thought about it for a minute or so, I think it could work but as a gay themed song. Just a few slightly tweaked lyrics to make that obvious, e.g. change the ambiguous 'someone' to 'a man' or similar, and I think it could work. I suspect that Don H. would be comfortable enough in himself to sing against type. (Assuming he's fully straight - I know he has a wife but don't personally try to find out too many personal details about musicians.)

It includes an opera singer rapping, cowboy music, a children's choir singing about religious holidays and telling people to shop at Walmart, bagpipes, and much more.

Tame Impala. I started following them in mid-2013 when my brother played for me the song Mind Mischief. There first two albums (Innerspeaker and Lonerism) had sort of a Beck/Gilmour feel to them with an atmospheric echo-y feel to it along with heavy drum/synth/keyboard use.

They released another album last year called Currents which is there most successful album yet though when i first heard it I was like "where the fu-- is the guitar". There's only two songs I like on it - The Less I Know the Better (with a funk sound to it) and Reality in Motion.

The Shutov Assembly by Brian Eno.

Pink Floyd's Obscured By Clouds album.

If you are a fan of 1970s Pink Floyd but have overlooked this record because it's a soundtrack album, it's definitely worth hearing - it has the classic Meddle/Dark Side of the Moon 'Floydian' sound. The best songs IMO are the beautiful Burning Bridges and the slightly bizarre Free Four (which marries an upbeat acoustic guitar riff to gloomy lyrics about death and war). It's not a masterpiece like the four albums that followed it (IMO) but it's still a good album.

[Freypower]

Mike + the Mechanics - the Singles double CD.

It's hard to relate to it as 'Mike Rutherford' because he doesn't sing lead & there is barely any guitar work. While the songs are catchy they're not in the same league as his other band or his other bandmates, and I prefer Tony Banks' work too, even with other singers.

[Annoying Twit]

The Blockheads have gone on without Ian Dury?


Yes. They released the album "Where's The Party" in 2004, which had a variety of band members singing and song styles. Then they released the album "Staring Down The Barrel" in 2009. I think this is their most 'Dury'-like of their albums. Ian's ex-minder/chauffer Derek the Draw wrote the lyrics and sing/speaks in Dury's style. He's a replacement Dury on that album, but IMHO he fulfills that role well and the album compares well to albums with Dury, though the lyrics aren't as good/witty as Ian's (who does write such lyrics) and the music doesn't quite match New Boots and Panties. Perhaps the album tries a bit hard to be Dury-like. There are worse styles to try and ape and IMHO not all of Dury's albums matched his best.

Here's one of their songs that had a video made for it, from the Staring Down the Barrel album. Spot the famous actors, including a well-known hobbit, in it. I don't think this is the best song on the album. But, this one gets a video as it was the single. Songs such as 'Roll Over', 'A Little Knowledge' (albeit very Dury-by-numbers lyrics), 'George The Human Pigeon', 'Dirty Money' etc. are more interesting, IMHO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cTT4pD4fNA

In 2013 they released "Same Horse Different Jockey" which is a bit different, with them adopting more of their own, more electronic, style. Derek the Draw is on all tracks. I like that album more because it sounds more like a band doing their own thing rather than trying to ape Dury.

I can imagine some people not liking the band going on without Dury, but I think they are too good a band to never record again.

Disc 3 of the Buddy Holly Memorial Collection. It's a public library copy, so the 3rd disc fell out while I was trying to open the thin library case. I would've started w/ the 1st.

There are three discs in the collection and he died at 22. How much would he have achieved if not for the plane crash?

I'm listening to Bruno Mars' Treasure after I used one of his songs in a song game. There are many artists who do 'classic funk' style songs or other songs in old styles. Few manage to make one that, had it been released in the funk era, would possibly have become one of the classics. I'm off to listen to Earth, Wind, and Fire's 'September' for comparison.

[RudieCantFail]

The Definitive Collection by Chuck Berry. I'm liking it so far, and I think his voice is smoother on the ear than Holly's. I like both, so it's all good. I got the Berry disc through the public library too.

AT, yep, it's sad that he died so young. I wonder what his style of music would have been if he made music in 1960s, 70s, and onwards. I hope that it wouldn't be too folk rock-ish, but maybe he'd go for Phil Spector type of production. I wouldn't be surprised if he went country later on in his life.

ETA: I like Holly more. I was going through several songs in the last 15 minutes, and it sounded the same. It had the distinctive guitar sound and intro and piano. I could differentiate Holly's songs more easily than I can with Berry's.

It's funny because when I first heard Second Helping, I thought it was decent enough but didn't really live up to their debut album (which I always loved) apart from Sweet Home Alabama and The Ballad Of Curtis Loew. However about 4-5 months later it suddenly 'clicked' for me and I've loved it since then. I Need You is one of the songs that has grown on me most.

ETA: Now started on Don't Ask Me No Questions. One of my faves - I love the attitude! Can't believe I ever though 'meh' about it. I'm the same way with most of The Long Run album.

It is a far more intimate sounding live release than Alchemy or On The Night, more in the flavour of their debut album than their later, more production heavy records, so I'd recommend it over those live albums to anyone who prefers the earlier Dire Straits albums. Current song is the beautiful Wild West End.

Hotel California (the song). I'm listening to a local radio station's "Eagles Flying high" weekend.

[Jonny Come Lately]

The 1973 BBC live performance of Witchy Woman. Absolutely love the guitar on this version!

I must admit the pre-song banter does amuse me too:

'Yeah, around Halloween. That ain't the summer!'

'Details, details...'

[RudieCantFail]

I'm going to listen to The Long Run (the song) on repeat until I stop worrying. I swear that every time I hear the 1st verse, I get more relaxed.

[Jonny Come Lately]

Pocahontas - Neil Young

This one of my favourites by him, even on my favourite Neil album (Rust Never Sleeps) it stands out. It's a wonderful song in just about every aspect - great lyrics (especially the Marlon Brando verses) that I couldn't quite imagine anyone other than Neil singing in the same way. I think this song has such enchanting melodies, both musically and vocally.

[Annoying Twit]

Resonate by Glenn Hughes

His best solo album ever, IMHO. A whole lot of songs of the quality and style that marked his period in Deep Purple. He's even got an organ player on the album that does a good impersonate of Jon Lord.

Go Insane - Lindsey Buckingham

[NightMistBlue]

Selections from the Tommy film soundtrack, 1975. My brothers had this album when it came out, but I seemed to listen to it a lot more than them!

I was reminded of it recently in an airport baggage claim where a strange man kept singing this one lyric from "Sally Simpson":
She knew from the start/Deep down in her heart/ She and Tommy were worlds apart.

Pete Townshend is such a great singer (and composer and guitarist) - he does a wonderful job on the lead vocal.

My fellow Doors fans: Townsend says this song was inspired by witnessing Jim Morrison whipping the audience into a frenzy when The Who opened for The Doors at the Singer Bowl in New York City August 2nd, 1968.

I just listened to Freddie Mercury's solo album "Mr Bad Guy". A bit disappointed.

Now, in the same mode of listening to solo stuff I'm not familiar with, I'm listening to Alan Parsons' (sans Project) album The Time Machine. Quite nice, though the songwriting isn't quite up to Project level.

Last Man Standing - Jerry Lee Lewis

I mean no disrespect to Lewis at all, but I'm surprised that I'm enjoying it. I never really considered listening to his music, but Henley sings with him in "The Irish Heart Beat" in this album. That's why I'm taking a listen to this, thanks to my public library system.

That's a nice song, but that's a weird video. Lol...

[NightMistBlue]

It was very early days in video land, we gotta cut him some slack. :) The weirdest early 80s video I remember was Roger Hodgson (ex-Supertramp) buck naked and covered in body paint for "Had a Dream." Had a nightmare, more like it.

[Annoying Twit]

I think that Supertramp's mid 70s albums are fantastic, especially Crime of the Century. But, to me they went downhill a bit after Even in the Quietest Moments. Even though Breakfast in America was a big hit, to me it's not as good as CotC. I'm not familiar with their later work, either as Supertramp or solo.

Until they split, I didn't realise which voice was Roger Hodgson and which was Rick Davies. And, what I thought was the attribution turned out to be wrong.

[NightMistBlue]

I wasn't a fan back in the day, but Mr. Hodgson in particular I've grown to appreciate. I saw him in concert a couple years ago, and he was great.

He performs with a full band here, but even when it's just him and another musician (keyboard player, occasional sax), he's wonderful. I'm a pushover for English hippies I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uyDoJfklgM

[I still don't necessarily want to see him naked, with or without body paint, again]

I'm playing Donald Fagen's "Morph the Cat". It's a great album if you like the lighter sides of Steely Dan. Some don't like the cheesy attraction song "Security Joan" etc., but I do :)

[travlnman2]

Guns N Roses Chinese Democracy. I love that whole album it's my favorite album they released. So happy Slash and Duff wanted to put there own spin on that album. The current combo of Slash and Richard Forths (third longest serving band member after Axl and Dizzy Reed.) is absolutely phenomenal.

I left youtube running and a live performance by this band came on, doing a cover of a Led Zeppelin song (or possibly a cover of a Led Zeppelin cover) followed by "It's a Man's World". I thought they were good so I searched Amazon Prime music and their "Badlands" album was available.

I'd like to hear a skillful acoustic cover by someone else then. I was surprised how much I liked The One You Love when I heard it done acoustically.

Just got off a long red-eye flight. Most of the trip was twenty one pilots, some Beatles, TBS solo, and of course Eagles. Twenty one pilots are a more "current" band and one of the few popular artists today I enjoy. Their most recent album, Blurryface is very good IMO.

[Annoying Twit]

I'll give Twenty-One Pilots a listen. I'm not familiar with them.

Currently listening to Glenn's "Soul Searching".

I'm listening to Lissie's most recent album now, "My Wild West." Most of the songs are related to Calfornia. How very Eagles.

I'm listening to 'Made From Nothing' by Leo Imai.

Can he be called a Japanese artist? He was born to a Japanese father and a Swedish mother, and did his education at London University and Oxford Universty. But, his musical career is in Japan.

[Freypower]

I have three Genesis related albums to listen to:

Anthony Phillips' The Living Room Concert
Steve Hackett's The Night Siren
Mike + the Mechanics' Let Me Fly

Both Steve & Mike are currently having some success with these albums in the UK charts.

[Annoying Twit]

I'm listening to the Japanese supergroup METAFIVE a lot recently after realising they had released a new album about six months after it actually came out.

It's, in my opinion, great music. But, almost nobody in the west has heard of it.

(Note: This isn't a recommendation as it's extremely un-Eagle-ish.)

Lonely Alone - Randy Meisner

Such a pretty song and Randy's voice is superb!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vKPEtKkIG-A

[Annoying Twit]

I'm listening to Christine McVie's album 'In The Meantime'.

While it doesn't have the flashy hit singles of other albums that she's been involved in, IMHO it's a very good and consistent album with many hidden gems.


EDIT: After listening to 'Lonely Again' youtube switched to Randy singing 'Heart of Gold' as a duet with Juice Newton. Is this the most recent recording that Randy's done?

[NightMistBlue]

No, that duet is from 1995.

Actually, come to think of it, the Meisner, Swan & Rich album wasn't released until circa 2001 but reportedly was recorded much earlier, perhaps as early as 1994. The chronology of that band is really hazy - at least to me.

He released a compilation of archival recordings in 2004, "Love Me or Leave Me Alone," but it doesn't specify what was recorded when.

The most recent recording that Randy was involved in (though not as a singer) that I'm aware of was 2003: "The Best I've Ever Been" with Mitchel Delevie.

[Delilah]

EDIT: After listening to 'Lonely Again' youtube switched to Randy singing 'Heart of Gold' as a duet with Juice Newton. Is this the most recent recording that Randy's done?

Randy's recording of "Take It Easy" on his Love Me or Leave Me Alone album sounds a lot like the concert performance with the World Classic Rockers, which was filmed in 2000.

(If I'm not mistaken, some of his fellow performers from WCR are credited on that album).

[Brooke]

Cardinals vs Blue Jays

[Annoying Twit]

Thanks NMB and D for the Randy info. I saw a video of Randy singing TIE with the World Classic Rockers, and he sounded good. If quite different from the original. I hope his health allows him to play and sing again. He was with the WCR until 2005 or so, wasn't he?

[NightMistBlue]

After suffering some heart issues in 2004, Randy cut back on his touring schedule with WCR and Meisner Swan & Rich. His last public performances were in 2008.

Yes, Delilah, members and associates of WCR are on some of the tracks in the "Love Me or Leave Me Alone" compilation, but as you know the information is really lacking - which is par for the course in Randyland unfortunately.

[Annoying Twit]

Thanks. Hopefully we'll hear from him again.

The more I listen to Rick Nelson and read about him, the more I realize how underrated he is. I believe his good looks and teen idol background worked against him.

And yes, the Live at the Troubadour album was actually recorded at 3 different venues. At the Troubadour itself, Don Everly shows up and sings with the band. How exciting that must have been for Randy.

Love this album, btw.

Hi D, I agree about Nelson being underrated yet he was certainly well respected and appreciated among his many musician friends and colleagues, like John Fogerty and of course Randy Meisner. This article in RS sheds more light on Rick's life and the challenges he faced dealing with his alter ego Ricky Nelson.

Got Journey of the Sorcerer playing. Several days ago, listening through decent headphones, I picked up a little snippet at about 5:27. I'm sure someone has already noticed it, but when the banjo line picks up about there, it's the old folk song "Soldier's Joy," which predates the Revolutionary War. Just the one phrase, repeated, but you can hear it. The violin fades out with a variation on it, and it kind of tickled me to hear it.
