OnlyGenusCaps Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 This song always reminds me of a character from my youth - Nick. Even as a kid I knew something was bad in his life. When I was 13, I met his daughter one time as she was trying to get him up off the tracks before the train came. I'll never forget the helpless in her eyes, not just about the situation, but about the whole trajectory. Don't quite know why, but I've been thinking about Nick recently. Pretty sure he went not long after the train track incident. Do you ever look at people and wonder what their life story is? I do. Sometimes just people I pass on the street for no reason. You can never know another's life. Not fully. But our paths crossed. It's like the old Norse concept of "urð" (don't use the Wikipedia article to go off of, it's just about the norn anyhow, not the prechristian worldview). The fibers of our lives weave us together, but not forever. Anyhow, here is Frank Zappa (Also, I learned from this album cover that Mr. Zappa apparently dressed to the left - made you look! 🤣😞 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cr0wley Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I listen to a ton of music. Lately I've been getting back into shoegazey type music, a lot of Alvvays, Tame Impala, Asobi Seksu, and stuff like that. Overall though I listen to pretty much anything, with a heavy focus on industrial music and thrash metal. https://www.last.fm/user/cr0wley_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyGenusCaps Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 What's your golden-brown? I like a nice Scotch whisky from time to time. Sure, it's less edgy than the topic of the song, but you know what, I'm okay with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m blue I drink it and it’s so peaceful. Oddly though I never drink it with breakfast. I’m a joe addict. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Oh this is lovely to see all the great stuff people are listening to! Jason Isbell’s new album is Weathervanes and I really love the feel of the record! And while I’m on this country or Southern fried side of things I’d be remiss if I didn’t lay this out especially on a holiday weekend in the US of A. And as I’m really loving this cover Also if you haven’t seen this new boxed set of Eric Clapton’s The Definitive 24 Nights I’d highly recommend it. We were supposed to be at The Gorge Amphitheater for Brandi Carlisle, The Highwomen and Tanya Tucker but well we all got COVID so I had to spend the weekend on YouTube so here’s the best of what’s on YT Have a great day and have fun!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyGenusCaps Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 This is perhaps my second favorite Haugaard & Høirup song. Translation of the title is something like "The Danish song is a young blonde": 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd Duck Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I’ve recently discovered this group that apparently focuses mostly on heavy metal Tolkienish dwarf music. I had no idea I loved dwarf music, yet suddenly I do. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is at once a source of high quality documentary, a means to access cultural content, or to watch big budget movies. It gives us access to ideas, and escape, all with the click of a button. In short, it has become a video platform that fulfills what the early internet promised - a lens through which to view the entirety of humanity. As long as you don't read the comments section! But I think part of me will always love that it is also in tucked away corners, always going to be what cable access TV was to the 1980's and 1990's. Quirky, unique perspectives that will never find a broad audience, but still reflect the true panoply of humanity's experience. Perhaps, this is all a big fluffy intro to explain that I sometimes enjoy the off-beat. And with that, I give you "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" by Puddles Pity Party. God I love Puddles!!! Very odd, but very unique and talented individual! On 5/1/2023 at 8:37 AM, OnlyGenusCaps said: Monday: Had such a crush on her when I was young!

tolstoy21 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I have been playing bass guitar for quite a long time now. The late, great, legendary Squire has always been a personal hero of mine. He and Bill Bruford on drums are a magic combination that can never be replicated or imitated. Obviously, they have some better known classics together with Yes like "Heart of the Sunrise" and "Close to the Edge", but this solo effort by Squire showcases what a great and melodic bass player he was. He doesn't just hold down the bottom like most bass players, he was driving force for each song's overall melody in a way that never appears showy or in your face. It's all just such subtle complexity that its easy to overlook his specific genius. There are and will be many great bass players over time, but there will never be another Chris Squire.
