Best of the Best.
Pandora kicks so much ass. Last four songs for me have been:
Cash, dropkicks, Cash and BR... heh.
Pandora sucks so much ass, making me like it and then disabling the service for my part of the world :(
One of the consequences of US legislation regarding licensing for internet "radio." Fucking RIAA and Congress. I can't even use it when I'm out of country... unless I proxy through a US VPN, or my gateway box, or whatever. Want a definition of suck, try streaming music through a home broadband connection and then across the Atlantic. :(
Stevie Wright from The Easybeats doing Evie (parts 1, 2 & 3)...

This might be in the "wrong thread" but I just heard a tv commercial with this music in the background
and they mentioned Bach as an inspiration, for their product. :(
Hell, I've also heard my kids playing some video game recently, with background music by Prokofiev, but they didn't know how I "knew" the music and could hum along. Not sure how they forget I used to put this on during their nap times. :(
And also this one, which they still think of as a "Disney" production:
Can't say I blame them, after all. Disney's presentations are pretty hard to beat:
Same Satie on flute, cello and piano. Quite lovely. Just three instruments, sounding as much more. Cello adds more depth than the harp, I think.
An anime lover discovered Satie here---
Summer
moves into Autumn
waiting for Winter......best of all

Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know

This was played in the radio yesterday, haven't heard it for a while.
Good soundtrack in the OR today. Ophthalmologists get a gold star

:heart:
^^ I like the beat, I think I heard a very similar one in some jazz classic, but don't know which :(
Daylight come an' me wanna go home... :heart:
It's interesting that Cash took out the dissonances from the chords in the verse. Still a good cover.
The original:
Hell, I like the Cash version a lot better than the NIN version. And speaking of good Cash covers, this one keeps coming on Pandora for me... one of those good songs to kill yourself to, or something along those lines.Quote:

I really like this song for some reason, plus the girl is so strange/quirky I love it:D
@Aimless, apparently she's from Sweden, are you a fan? :)
I like her music, I just rarely listen to it. Some of my friends are very devoted fans :) I really like Swedish music as a whole but don't often seek it out of my own volition.
Back to basics today:
http://www.rainymood.com/ + music
^^She was in my city a week ago for some music festival, I only found out on the day it was on though :(
Another Swedish group that I really like is The Knife :up: love their music, they're so awesome and the music clips are cool.
I particularly like this one, it's so random:
Seeing 'het nieuwe ensemble' play Stravinsky and Varese next week, for 10€ :)

Eilen Jewell Fucked up name, but hella chill :up: with a bit of blues and a lot of country, but not the cheesy or the whiny kind. The good kind. The heartfelt kind. Good stories
OMG The Midnight Special! :D No wonder Steely Dan turned into a studio band, huh. ;)
Between for the longing for love and the struggle for legal tender...
....he knows that all his dreams begin and end there.
The Pretender.
....for true love, coulda been a contender.
Say a prayer for The Pretender....
Great lyrics, timeless. :up:
More Jackson Browne great stuff:
Looking back at the years gone by
like so many summer fields....
I don't know where I'm running now,
I'm just running on empty
running blind.
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive,
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive....
Running on empty
Running blind
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.
People need some reason to believe....
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to
to pull me through
looking into their eyes
I see them running, too....
Running on empty, running blind
running into the sun
but running behind.....
Ya know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find,
running blind,
running into the sun,
but I'm running behind....
And, of course, Jackson Browne links back to Neil Young. Young Men singing about Old Men. So much in common, despite the years gone by:
I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid,
find a place nearby for her to stay.
Just someone to keep my house clean,
fix my meals and go away.
A maid,
A man needs a maid.
It's hard to make that change
when Life and Love turn strange.....
To Live a Love
Ya gotta Give a Love.
To Give a Love
Ya gotta be part of...
When will I see you again?
More of 70's music, pretty much ten times better than anything made now:
Notice, at the beginning, who's accompanying her. :D
I hear her call sweet dreams
but I forget how to dream....
My friends from college, they're all married now.
They have their houses and their lawns.
They have their silent moods,
tearful nights, angry dawns.
Their children hate them for the things they love,
they hate themselves for what the are.
And yet they drink, they laugh,
close the wounds, hide the scars.
But you say it's time we moved in together,
and raised a family on our own, you and me.
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be....
You want to marry me?
We'll marry.
....
