Oh my shoes are jus' fine -the only investment I make in what I wear for work. But after 14 hours -like today-, your feet are gonna fucking hurt.

This is stuck with me just as much now, though


monster 04-09-2017 08:35 PM

this was stuck in my head all day


Gravdigr 04-10-2017 12:48 PM

Got this on repeat:


BigV 04-10-2017 09:32 PM

Hell yeah!

Gravdigr 04-12-2017 01:11 PM

Thanks to Popdigr and a buddy that wanted the tablature for it, this has been in m'haid today:



Not my kind of song, but, I guess there are worse tunes out there...

Undertoad 04-26-2017 09:29 AM

S'about the catchiest thing I've heard in a long while, hooks a-plenty.


DanaC 04-26-2017 12:23 PM

I may already have posted these in the Good Music thread - but I'mma posting here as well because these two tracks are battling for supremacy in my head and have been for at least a week.

I don't do earworms :) I get one stuck, I reach for the headphones (since I'm almost always at home) and blow it outta there with Queensryche, Rammstein, Zeppelin, Jeff Beck...whatever has BIG BASS and catches my attention. Sometimes I even pull up a couple of select really old rap faves--"Body Beautiful" by Salt-N-Pepa, "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J, and "Brass Monkey" or "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys.

I'm old. :D

youtube's not working for me here right now, so, I just posted a regular link.

My Name is Human by Highly Suspect.

For weeks.

And I really don't mind.

Awwww, don't they look sweet.

monster 05-25-2017 10:31 PM

whatever you posted is still a black square for me, but so sweet of you to try, thanks. Reminds me of when my grandma tried to make up for my parents' refusal to let me get a boombox by giving me her old radiogram.

Gravdigr 05-26-2017 01:13 PM

I see videos in Firefox, black boxes in IE.

xoxoxoBruce 05-26-2017 02:24 PM

Excellent new video for Tiny Dancer.


glatt 05-26-2017 05:05 PM

Yeah. That was good

lumberjim 05-26-2017 07:54 PM

Quite

xoxoxoBruce 05-26-2017 11:58 PM

I though it was extremely poignant.

Griff 05-27-2017 09:47 AM


This one is in my head now. The young lady didn't beat cancer, but appears undefeated. Mind the eye water.

The POTUSOA? Right?

Via the Drew Carey Show, which was on in the background for several hours this weekend.

Gravdigr 07-12-2017 01:00 PM

Heh, that's where I learnt about it.:jig:

xoxoxoBruce 07-12-2017 04:57 PM

I read when Carey signed to do the Price is Right he was worth $45million. Didn't need the gig for money, but did to shake depression.

monster 07-15-2017 03:09 PM



where's my riot? :(

Gravdigr 07-15-2017 11:17 PM

That wasn't too bad.





I've been hearing "Blinded By The Light" in my head quite a bit, lately. Caused me to find out it's actually a Bruce Springsteen song. Didn't know that.

I just did that a few months ago. Same thing with For You . Two of my old favorites.

Griff 07-17-2017 06:01 AM

For some reason or other....

I noticed he lost a lot of weight before he got married, but the weight is coming back. I wish I knew of a weight loss gimmick besides a capful of mylanta a day.lol.

Gravdigr 07-17-2017 10:52 AM

That Gwen Stefani is hot enough to burn two wet mules.

Gravdigr 07-20-2017 03:26 PM

***NSFW Language***



The (NSFW Language) bit leading up to this, about going home with a fat girl, is very good, also.

That ain't no Hank Williams song.

lvcrating 08-07-2017 02:53 PM

Queen. Anything by Queen. It just sticks for days and days. I have to sometimes play the whole song in my head to get it out !

Sometimes this one comes back to mind for a bit. From an artist who didn't quite make the crossover as a singer into mainstream American pop culture.


Gravdigr 08-16-2017 01:21 PM



Man. Ol' Toby done put on a few pounds. And a few years.

xoxoxoBruce 08-21-2017 07:05 PM

Hadn't seen this before, not it won't go away... Joplin and Jones.

Undertoad 08-21-2017 08:08 PM

Absolutely

That led me to



Now 76... Tom Jones on UK TV last March.

Nailed it

xoxoxoBruce 08-21-2017 08:46 PM

He can still cook. :thumb:

Gravdigr 08-22-2017 02:15 PM

Damn that bastard looks good for 76.

And still got that VOICE!!!

Gravdigr 11-09-2017 02:39 PM

Since the CMA awards last night:

Number one in the U.K. today in 1970:

Better bigger, and louder.

Flint 12-15-2017 02:08 PM

I was stuck on this song for about a week.
I never got tired of it.

I think it's one of the best melodies ever written.
The arrangement and instrumentation is impeccable.



The Beatles aren't the only ones to have written 'perfect' songs.

Undertoad 12-15-2017 07:08 PM

quite agreed quite agreed.




Here's next week, then. It's only made a hair uneven with Elvis Costello's production. But the thing is, Chris Difford can write a goddamn lyric.

The whole thing is draped in soul instead of blues, and we don't realize it or really think about how draped in soul it is, because it's these five guys from London. But it's not exactly the blue-eyed soul of Hall and Oates, because it's turned down a notch. It's made subtle.

Yes, yes. This is a good one. The total, pleasing, effect of the lyrics, vocals, instrumentation, and production of this track is only outweighed by the question, "who is Squeeze?"

Who?

Undertoad 12-22-2017 05:15 PM

Being a fan of the band, Squeeze is pretty much Difford/Tilbrook and whatever musicians are on hand that day.

Chris Difford (the low froggy-voiced one) writes the lyrics and Glenn Tilbrook (the high poppy-voiced one) writes the music, both really very good at what they do.

The trouble is, they recruited Paul Carrack to play keys for a while, and since Mr Carrack is a great singer (Ace "How Long", singer for Mike + the Mechanics), they had him take the mic for one song: "Tempted". Then that one song becomes their greatest international hit.

At some point in the 80s, some music journalists thought Difford/Tilbrook was the next Lennon/McCartney, 'cept nobody is really the next Lennon/McCartney.

Flint 12-22-2017 05:31 PM

They are organized much more like a Becker/Fagen than a Lennon/McCartney.
