What are you listening right now ?

For some reason, I could never get into that song.

Some of my faves, though, are

with some interesting characters (see if you can spot all SPG members without makeup), and

for a demo of the f’n amazing vocal range The Spine has.

Ahh, a kindred spirit. Malfunction is easily my second favorite. Hatchworth is an easy one to spot thanks to his facial hair and previous work as a “human” member of the band. The Spine is relatively easy to spot as he stands in front of a whiteboard with the Quintessential album set list on the wall to the right. Rabbit is a bit harder but also winks at the camera just like the Spine and is sitting on a couch with a bright pink rabbit on the right. The mole below her left eye also helps with identification. Some people have even pointed out a couple Walter Workers in there as well. The Spine is a vocal powerhouse whose dynamic range is on par with Roy Orbison IMHO and high praise indeed.

RIP Trevor Strnad

You will be missed :cry:

INXS.First album…

Tinnitus in the right ear. Rings fairly loud.

most best ever

So which one’s got the real purty mouf?

My barber was playing this.
I feel like it’s from another timeline, a world in which the singularity never happened.
I never knew there were people still making psychedelic blues/doom/jazz music.

My 2 cats tearing up the house chasing each other around, now that I’m turning off all the lights.

"Masters of War"
Eddie Vedder · Mike McCready · G.E. Smith
Live at Madison Square Garden, New York, NY - October 1992

Eddie Vedder crushes this cover of the Bob Dylan classic.

Eddie is joined by bandmate Mike McCready (guitar) of Pearl Jam and G.E. Smith (mandolin), who cut his chops first with Hall and Oates, and then later at Saturday Night Live.

The sound may be a tiny bit cleaner on the official release, but that one has no video.

Eddie Vedder with Johnny Depp – "Society" (live, 2010)

Take the chords I, IV, V, and vi, put them in any order, and—voilà!—you've got a good pop song. In this case, the chords are C, F, G, and Am, but the real fun is the appearance of Johnny Depp.

This performance is not that great, in large part because the cell-phone video is shaky, but the Johnny sighting makes it interesting.

Rare and brilliant recording:

Elizabeth Cotten: “Washington Blues” and “I’m Going Away”

Bon Scott, RIP

Every single Led Zeppelin song is a masterpiece.

"The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin

For sure!

This week, I've been digging a ballad from Houses of the Holy. John Paul Jones composed a splendid orchestration to accompany the fine guitar work by Jimmy Page.

Ran into it on a reaction video by classical composer Doug Helvering.

Yep, I love every Led Zeppelin song there is.

I can't say that about hardly any of the musical acts that I like.
