Hello FR music fans. A light hearted thread for FReepers to discuss what music they have been listening to lately (old and new). It might be cool to be exposed to new music or old music that others might not have heard. Since I don't have a life, I'm home on a Saturday night listening to my local rock station (WRIF -Detroit).
Maroon 5---This love---very good!
Bryan Ferry- Bete Noir, Mamouna, In your mind, The Bride Stripped Bare.
Lene Lovich Flex
Martha & The Muffins-Echo Beach
The Divinyls
Nina Hagen
Laura Branigan
Francis Cabrel
JS Bach Unaccompanied Violin Sonatas & Partitas played by Sergio Lucca
Henry Purcell-Music for Viols
David Bowie- Berlin-Low, Heroes
A friend of mine had a Dodge Omni, 4-speed with a low-high shifter beside it. Being the farm boy I was, I showed him how to "split-shift". We shifted that car 6 times to go from 0-30!
Manhattan Transfer's 'Vocalese' - one of my favorites.
Sympatique, Pink Martini
It's Better with a Band, Barbara Cook (concert at Carnegie Hall, 1980)
Those were the days---what memories!!!
Did the transmission last very long? LOL
Hugh Kate Bush fan here too! After seeing "Kate Bush, Live at Hammersmith Odeon" on the USA network, late at night, about 100 years ago, I fell in love!

When my father was teaching me to drive...in the Rambler, every time I would shift, he would say "now don't shift too fast, or you will strip the gears, and ruin the transmission"---every time...
There aren't too many times that I drive a standard transmission that I don't play that "tape" in my head..LOL
It's sad that most kids don't have a clue what that means today... Luckily, you can say, "I'm starting to sound like a skipping CD!"

This Lovin' Spoonful opus from the summer of 1968 probably isn't in your anthology, but it sure captures the zeitgeist.
Revelation: Revolution '69
There, no one asks them what they do there after dark.
And the prize they give to men who kill is a statue in the park.
Don't let them cut your wings, dear ones, before you learn to fly.
Too soon, the game will seem to real, and then no one will ask why.
I'm scared to start. I can't stop my heart, but I want the revolution.And it's what they do, not what they say that screams out it's a lie.
You'd better keep your tongue locked in your head before you're marked to die.
Let's hang together, then, good friends, or you know, we'll hang alone.
And the hawks that fly will tear your eyes and rip the skin clean off of your bones.
I'm afraid to die, but I'm a man inside, and I need the revolution.And I'm proud of watching brothers of mine who go out to make the most waves
About evil men who've been sitting on them laughing, loving the system they save.
Those heavies shoved and hit down hard and pushed them to this fight.
And I'm tired of seeing our nation do wrong, when it's us who can do right
And if looks can tell, well sure as hell, we'll have our revolution.

Yea, it done good....I also taught him how to double-clutch, too!
"The mesh is old, the face new. Izzy is called the 25-year old Sopranistin from England, whose second CD "Ascolta" the typical spagat dares: Classical music in modernized arrangements, interprets from the perfect Sopran of a young woman, who looks good in addition. After the slogan: Which already folds with Vanessa Mae, should function with the trained Sopranistin Isabel Cooper (so Izzys correct name) only quite.
"Tut's however not. Apart from the beautiful Scottish Ballade "My love is like A talk talk rose", which was uncoupled also as single, stay the again arranged pieces to a large extent behind waked expectations. Airs, Choraele and traditional people ways work in the clear interpretation Izzys. But by the attempt, absolutely, the pieces lose a contemporary instrumentalization in addition wars. More would have been less: There a harp chirps, there mollt the wing and somehow sounds speckled the entire Silberling a little after Christmas, with a breath "Titanic".
"All in all too few, in order to tempt the petrol normal listener, the classical period not completely averse, to the purchase of these CD. The "self-willed and rather singular sound" (quotation press briefcase) is probably nevertheless only rather something for the lovers of this special Crossover kind."
Frank Sinatra- The September Of My Years
I wish I could say Promises in the Dark by Pat Benatar or Aja by Steely Dan or Still Life Talking by Pat Metheney or Trout Fishing in America (self titled).
The truth is Michael Buble'.
(Hey ... I was trying to get some sleep).
Not to be confused with "Beep, Beep, Beep" by Bobby Day & The Satellites (1957), which was inspired by Sputnik I.
I always listen to my CD's when I'm cleaning house......like today...........I had (don't laugh) Shalamar, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind and Fire......tomorrow, no telling. I've got every kind of musical genre you can think of.
OMG......."At This Moment" makes me cry.......
Jayhawks -- Rainy Day Music
