What are you listening to right now?

Watching the rain...


Edit: it was pointed out that the above is a cover.
Here's the bonafide

 

Crowded House - She Goes on



Neil Finn is truly a great song writer. Here are the lyrics:

Pretty soon you'll be able to remember her
Lying in the garden singing
Right where she'll always be
The door is always open

This is the place that I loved her
And these are the friends that she had
Long may the mountain ring
To the sound of her laughter
And she goes on and on

In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
Till we see her once again
In a world without end

We owe it all to Frank Sinatra
The song was playing as she walked into the room
After the long weekend
They were a lifetime together

Appearing in the eyes of children
In the clear blue mountain view
We're coloring in the sky
And painting ladders to heaven
And she goes on and on

In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
Till we see her once again
In a world without end

In her soft wind I will whisper
In her warm sun I will glisten
And I always will remember
In a world without end

She goes on
She goes on

His brother, Tim Finn, is a pretty good song writer too. The string arrangement is amazing.

 

Great album, but this is a cover version. Who's performing?

 

Screw that. Will edit to post the original.

 

Ive been going through year end lists to find things I missed

Disillusion is pretty great progressive/death metal from germany


White ward is sort of black metal, but its so much more, I don't normally like black metal


Immolation is death metal, another sub genre of metal I normally don't love, but damn is this album great

 

Damn found out Frank Wyatt passed 2 days ago. RIP.

 

The guitarist in Oingo Boingo knew how to shred.



Also Jeff Beck.

 

Classic 90s (although technically late 80s):

The work on the album cover is called The 12 Archetypes or The 12 Faces of Humankind. The colour pictures were painted by Tammo De Jongh in 1967. - per Wikipedia, but I don't think they'd make this up, so probably true. haha...

 

New album to be released in another month or so. I ordered my copy (LP) back in Sep 2022... haha...

Got the purple-colored vinyl.

 

Suffering for the Sake of Your Art

Alessandro Moreschi
When this recording was made Moreschi was about my age. Unlike me, a prepubescent Moreschi had his balls cut off so that his voice never broke. The last of the castrati.



Turning to Florence Foster Jenkins, it's more a case of the audience suffering for her delusions of grandeur. Here she is immortalised in a gramophone recording in glorious mono singing an aria from Mozart's Opera, The Magic Flute, "Queen of the Night". It's so bad that it met itself coming the other way and took on mythical status.



There's a tragic comedy telling the story of her life starring Meryl Streep.

 

Yes, I am sad, but glad I heard a song I have never heard before.

And glad to find Jennifer Batten- another rabbit hole to go down.

 

Here's a fav that was heavily influenced by Jeff, among others.

Travis Larson band "Above Below"

 

If you like progressive (but not "too" proggy) instrumental stuff, this is awesome.

 

Port Noir is my favorite indy band and their newest album is amazing. They recorded the whole thing without a click track and it gave a lot of the songs the vibe of a jam session that just went amazing. Whole album is great but Deep Waters, Sweet and Salt and Emerald Green were standouts for me. Loads of amazing guitar rifts and love the turbo distorted bass throughout the album. Figured I would share them here as its depressing that they dont have more views.

 

The album these cuts are from absolutely rips on vinyl:

Doh!! was going to post a link but it's sold out.
