Music You Know and Love but Most Do Not...

Chrissie Hynde? Naaaw, your ears are wonky.

Happy VD, BD! Em, probably you can learn to become a curmudgeon and then it just happens naturally, I assume.
Here is your valentine's present to help you achieve your goal; all curmudgeons worth their salt wear a bunnet.



Another lady, Liz Fraser, also amazing (Lorelei)




And oooh, since we're repeating - Pogies, Boys from the County Hell xxx

So my ex-high school class president is in town for some week long conference. He's basically the guy who turned me really onto punk rock music (The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Ramones, Violent Femmes... they were all first heard by TEOT at this guy's house). Don't get me wrong, we still listened to Sabbath and The Who but there was something about punk that we bonded over.

Anyhoo, he's given up guitar (??!!! the bastid!) and now plays... bagpipes!! So heard all about bagpipes last night. And then we started talking about banjo. which is when I mentioned my cover of Come as you are. He told me to look up the following...

AC/DC's Thunderstruck... on bagpipes!!


Got to love the Mohawk and leather kilt!! The FIRE is just icing on the cake!




*to the killer B's... beansihe and Baddogma*

...happy belated VD!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

Cool as

You might like the Red Hot Chili Pipers if that amuses you:

Smoke on the Water



The best piper by a mile is Martin Bennett (RIP).

Chanter




Killer B's


I haven't thought about bees for ages, not since a long discussion with some lovely folk at Baddog's other thread.

Happy VD to you too, buddy, hope you had a good one (ie not aeroplane food in a checked bunnet)

a reply to: beansidhe


You had me at "Red Hot Chili Pipers"!! But to top it with Deep Purple!!...
*hugs*

*Mike Meyer's voice* If it's not Scottish... it's CRAP!

Proclaimers - I would walk 500 miles



Nazareth - Hair of The Dog

Hugs back at ye! Sometimes you just can't beat a bit of Deep Purple piped by some sweaty Scottish blokes.

Sunshine on Leith

a reply to: Baddogma

I hate rap and hiphoppidyhops, but gotta say, i am feeling this one. Frigging awesome.

This is a pretty strange choice for a 55 year old white Australian guy . Body count with born dead , it could almost be the social justice warriors anthem although i dont believe it mentions Muslims . A fair bit that is sung about have been hot topics on ATS from time to time . Oakland ring a bell . Seems not much has changed in 23 years , Chicago and Oakland are the same . The middle east is home to coalition forces .
Warning , a bit of swearing to start with .

a reply to: solve

Gotta say, it would've helped to know what the heck they were saying, but I'll take your word for it!

a reply to: hutch622

Nah, not strange for a white guy of advancing years from down-under to feel an angry rap- fusion ditty with a kick butt beat about minorities being killed in disproportionate numbers... in fact, it's something that might help save this world ! Thanks for that.

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

Heh.. .that Nazarath ditty likely inspired more alcohol fueled bar tussles than any other song (excluding most all punks songs)... kinda brings out the testosterone in even the most wan twee-boy.

And in a faaar left field offering....

Starlight Vocal Band - afternoon Deelite!

a reply to: beansidhe

And I didn't mean she 'sounded' like Hine, exactly... it was primarily a visual...

Lorelei never fails to send the shivers ... and Pogues never get old (despite getting drunken spin flashbacks and nausea when I hear them... pure conditioning).

And as long as repeating stuff... this whole thing 'remains' a favorite effort ... Tina Weymouth is one of the funkiest bassists ever... Talking Heads - Remain In Light




And this one... pretty much changed the world although few heard it... this was '81 and Throbbing Gristle (et al) had it's influence, but this was revalatory at the time... eno and byrne - my life in the bush of ghosts



And one of the sounds from this album, lifted and slowed down matches the cool chant-drone-noise used in Eyes Wide Shut... in my estimation

a reply to: Baddogma

white guy of advancing years

Love it .

I was watching a TV show called Legion. On one of the episodes, as the credits rolled, they played this song. I had totally forgot about it! I knew right away who it was but I forgot how much I liked the song because it never gets played by my Death Metal friends or my techno loving (that way he doesn't have to remember lyrics, lazy bastid!). Well, I remember listening to Aliens Ate My Buick a lot but don't remember any song by title so I will skip forward a few years. My apologies if this has already been played.

Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive! (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1984)


D@mn if this song has not got stuck in my noggin over the past few days! All I can say about the fault with this song... it need more cowbell!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

That's very horrible

a reply to: Peeple

Tanks!

Here's what else was going on in 1984. According to Billboard Top 10 songs of the year were:

When Dove Cry
What’s Love Got to do With It?
Say Say Say
Footloose
Against All Odds
Jump
Hello
Owner of a Lonely Heart
Ghostbuster
Karma Chameleon

I will take Thomas Dolby over any of the above any day of the week! And c'mon, "Messages from outer space" how can you not love that song!
