I know music has probably been done here, but some threads go dead and there is nothing wrong with lighting up a new one especially if you love music? Everyone loves music, right? Have you ever met a single individual on planet earth who does not enjoy music?
Young at heart, I always have and still enjoy a wide range of music, especially contemporary pop and rock. It’s something that stuck with me from the eighties. Music just gets better and better these days...
Radio has always pleased me as a young lad. I still go to sleep with the radio playing my favourite station -- 5fm, softly in the background. Radio is part of my furniture.
Lately I have thin headphones plugged into my ears on my soft pillow, relaxed with my bald warm head resting while music plays me to sleep. Talk radio is also very enjoyable. I watch VH1 on cable for short bursts almost daily and keep track of pop music especially.
Am I the only one wired like this?
So, why don’t you tell us what your listening to, what music is doing it for you right now? – currently, this week? Any CD’s are you listening to in your car? What is your favourite song on the radio at the moment? It can be anything, if Country is your thing, let us hear...Jazz, Rock, “Dub step”, Pop, R&B you name it!
I think it will be awesome for us baldies to get a feel of what music we enjoy, or get an international vibe of the music world by exchanging our flavour of the week.
Here is / are my songs of the week:
Rudimental feat. John Newman - "Feel the Love"
Fun - "Some Nights"
What’s yours?

Great topic, waine!
Have you ever met a single individual on planet earth who does not enjoy music?
You'd be surprised. I've run into several in my life. I'm under the firm belief that people who do not enjoy music have no souls. :/O IMO, it's one of the greatest things humanity has ever produced in it's entire history.
Just throwing in: Right now at the moment I have RATM - "Freedom" playing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk2uObQDKtw). Classic angry anti-political track.
So on topic, I've been playing Boston - "Peace of Mind" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaR2JeqxQDY) quite a bit this week. Just can't seem to get enough of it. Love the musicianship and vocal harmony on that one.
CoC - "Clean my wounds" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytCAdN4HvMs) has also been getting my attention a few times this week. Love the riff that carries through the song.

Well, there's a lot of trad NO brass jazz bands now, one of the greats of the tradition died. His funeral is, to put it mildly, unique.
http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2012/07/uncle_lionel_batiste_gets_send.html
Because we're experiencing extremely heavy rain, street flooding etc., the second line has been postponed til Monday. But, my guess is that you've never quite seen anyone "laid out" for a wake the way he has been--I know I haven't.
For funerals--it's hard to match a NO Jazz Funeral.

Just yesterday when I was on FB Pat Travers posted a link to one of my all-time favorites. It's not a new song by any means, it was popular back in the early 70s but it still hovers near the top of my list of faves.
The song is "Lazy" by Deep Purple. Travers posted it because Jon Lord, the keyboard man of Deep Purple, recently passed on.
Down below is the audio from YouTube. There are live videos on there as well including one from 1999 which shows Jon Lord dominating the stage. The link I posted includes guitar work by Rickie Blackmore but only shows the album cover. Great song though.

I have 2 favorite songs right now both by a group called Tinariwen from the west African country of Mali. The songs are Nar Djenetbouba and Mataraden Anexan. The group's got a worldwide following but I don't think they get much airtime on the radio.
-
I've really been enjoying Incubus this week. Because I'm a guitar teacher, I'm often teaching what I'm listening to or vice versa. I'm a bluesman at heart and love Robert Johnson, Son House, and my idol BB King!
-
In the past days I have been listening to Aloe Blacc - I need a dollar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbVHbEGerRA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbVHbEGerRA) (and no I'm not asking for money) and found something from the 90's that I have never heard before, so here goes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ncjryCCss (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ncjryCCss)
-
Aloe Blacc is so good!
-
Loudon Wainwright's album "Older than my Old Man Now" on Spotify.
-
They had a pack of Whitney Houston CD's 3 for 9.99 at Best Buy......This week, I've been playing "I Wanna Dance With Somebody Who Loves Me" That song was #1 on the Billboard Hot 40 this month 25 years ago...
-
Today I've been listening to the best of Bowie and Adele.
I'd happily have music on all the time and get rid if the tv...

I've been listening the Pat Metheny (Still Life CD) a lot lately. Am also enjoying The Clash's Rock the Casbah and London Calling. Kind of at the opposite ends of the spectrum, but that's what's great about music - you can enjoy all kinds.
I grew up with the radio on constantly. My mother used to say a house without music is like a tomb. She would turn the kitchen radio on when she got up in the morning and it stayed on until night, always tuned to the same "middle of the road" music station that would edit out any lyrics it felt were inappropriate!

Me too, whenever I am at my pc I have music going constantly, in the car, at work whenever I can and I love nothing more then going out and catching some awesome local metal on a weekend when I can \m/
I am enjoying listening to all the songs people have linked/listed
This is definitely my song of the week Drowning Pool's All Over Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn4WmiLZ1PI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn4WmiLZ1PI)
-
Chris Brown's - "Don't Wake me up" is hitting all the right spots with me right now.
-
Stevie Ray Vaughen : Life by the Drop (It's always Stevie Ray week at the Koz home!)
-
SRV's...Riviera Paradise.
-
How do you guys feel about Eric Bibb? I absolutely love his music and when I saw him live it was a life changing experience. His album 'Get On Board' is such a good blend of gospel, roots blues, and folk.
The track 'Pockets, is my missus and my song.
-
Kenny Chesney & Toby Keith seem to be at the top with this Awesome Summer
-
This week I'm going to stick with the Whitney Houston theme and listen to "I Learned From the Best". It's the song about a man trying to get back with the woman that he dumped....and she says no....hmmm, I think I can relate.
-
Snow Patrol and Lifehouse for me.
-
It is day one and I think I already have my song of the week, I couldn't get the drums (~2:00min mark) from this song out of my head all day!
Fear Factory - Depraved Mind Murder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky2JW0hVFks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky2JW0hVFks)
-
Foghat - "Slow Ride" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcCNcgoyG_0)
Love this Jam. So good, it doesn't seem it's as long as it really is.
Makes me think of the film Dazed and Confused. Also makes me want beer, for some reason.
-
Stevie Ray Vaughen : Life by the Drop (It's always Stevie Ray week at the Koz home!)
Koz loves him so much, he can't spell it correctly.
Heard "Beers Ago" (Toby Keith) driving today and it's stuck in my head.
-
I couldn't possibly have just one track for the whole week! ;D My tastes are pretty eclectic and this week I've been listening to everything from Bill Withers and James Taylor to The Pixies and Massive Attack.

Found my four-pack of 70s Rock Songs CD's in the glove compartment...there are 4 CD's with 10 songs on each resulting in 40 songs....staying with the theme of 40 (my age)...I've decided to listen to one track from this collection each day for the next 40 days! Starting with today......Today's track: "Fool for the City" by Foghat.

I flash over to "VH1" every evening on cable TV at some stage or another. It is where I get my little music video fix for the day. I also like "Guess the year" on "VH1", where they play a song and you have to guess which year it is from. Sometimes my wife, daughter and I have a little competition going to see who gets closest to the correct year.
The radio plays all day in my office. The radio is on in my garage when I work outside. The radio is on when I cook supper. It is on when I fall asleep. Music is like air to me.
I hardly buy CD’s anymore…

Speaking of get laid songs..."Love to Love You Baby" by Donna Summer.
-
Donna Summer was one of the best R.I.P. Donna !Many great singers have passed away in basically this couple of years such a shame :(
-
good mention wonderer, I LOVE Kansas!
-
There is a song from Kansas "Dust in the wind" i use just to listen this song and love it, but now i truly understand the meaning- one versus especially it goes something like " and all your money won't another minute buy "there is something that you can't really understand if you aren't in a risk to lose somebody (or someone you love) :( we gotta cherish every moment spent with our love ones.... And Mike and Mechanics song "In the living years" can teach us something

-
I only like old songs and i am not that old ??? ! I think that after 90-s all went to the garbage mode (only man who I respect is Pitbul- everything that man touch becomes very good actually ,he has that Midas touch )
-
Unless you are talking about metal then I have to agree with you, all the pop music these days is about quantity not quality...
-
I love Joe Cocker... he's second in lne behind Stevie Ray only!
Michael Franti and Spearhead... nice choice!
-
You may be a Stevie Ray fan, but what do you think of Robert Cray? He is one hell of a guitarist, and one of the best live artists I've seen.
Also, loving Seasick Steve today
-

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous! They are really great, I also like shame and a sin, you're a man of good taste sir!
-
Matt.... I love Robert Cray too. I've liked him for a VERY long time..... well before he became "popular".
-
Good to hear! I can say that too, but only because my Dad played his stuff right from when I was a kid, and I guess I just caught the bug.

Track of the week for me: From the Beginning by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's Trilogy album

If you're into ELP you should try Nektar's album journey to the centre of the eye, listen to it from beginning to end, it certainly is a journey, that album is life changing.
-
Here is what think I know about Emerson Lake and Palmer (old memory ??? )-they use to make a great music like www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASo4qltChjM and then they realised that they need something more "radio friendly"(new wave swept them ) so after longer conversation they even had a honest fist fight (no joking) that's how a group "Asia" was born -Asia was still great but not ELP great www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlTvWvfEMxE
-
Dangit www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aso4qltChjM c'est la vie -my cat is singing with this song ???

OUTSTANDING video!!
And, for me, it reiterates what I always say about different peoples around the world.
And I quote (myself): "I believe that people all around the world are basically the same. The peoples of the world aren't the problem..... the politicians governing those people are." (Endquote)
Is it even legal to quote yourself?? ???
-
Yes it is, provided you haven't heard the quote from somewhere else and try to claim it as your own.

In honor of against the grain (Mark) I'm listening to Say My Name by Destiny's Child....just picking with ya buddy ;D
-
I have been listening to Five Finger Death Punch Remember Everything and God Smack Rocky Mountain Way a lot lately
-
This great Aussie metal band from Brisbane has been on high rotation since I picked up their album from their Melbourne, Australia performance on Saturday night. They are not your traditional metal band, but something that I think if given the chance they could make it big, even in the mainstream music scene!
The sound technician on the night had massive problems with the lead singers mic. The whole first song we couldn't hear her, then after switching mics, we could only just hear her over the music... but I heard enough to know I had to buy their cd.

Went on a jog earlier today (testing a bad achilles and calf), and decided to put together a compilation of my two favorite metal bands, Iron Maiden & Metallica. The songs:
1. Sanctuary (IM)
2. Four Horsemen (Metallica)
3. Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (IM).....awesome song with no airplay.
4. Cyanide (Metallica)
5. Reachout (IM)...Adrian Smith singing on a B Side song
6. No Remorse (Metallica)
7. Sun & Steel (IM)
8. Hit the Lights (Metallica).
Good stuff.

Good stuff indeed! The other week I caught one of the biggest Metallica tribute bands in Australia, they have put on an amazing show every time I have seen them. The time before that they actually came to town with an Iron Maiden tribute... boy was that an amazing night, it was almost as if you were at a Maiden/Metallica concert!
-
I've really been feeling Alice in Chains - Got Me Wrong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRx7QdT8EZA) this week. Such a great song.
-
no song in particular, but I have been listening to a lot of Sigur Ros lately
-
After seeing the French Movie "Les Yeux Sans Visage" (Eyes Without A Face).....it compelled me to listen to Billy Idol's 1984 hit "Eyes Without A Face". The movie was pretty good 8/10, but I finally deciphered what the female background singer was saying during the song's chorus.....As creepy as the song sounds, I like the interpretation of the song (or at least what I think is the interpretation of the song) which is pretty much about being angry, then forgiving about a lost love....
-
I've been listening to my friends Artisan Guns' new album 'Coral'. Here's a link to their first single from the album 'pulled you in'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu70wORMpW4

Quite enjoying this at the moment:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H96wLcGXwg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H96wLcGXwg)
"Diamond Days" by Bento which is the latest project of (former?) Silverchair drummer Ben Gillies
-
I quite like that Bento song, I am not sure if he is still a member of silverchair or not... I get the feeling I heard somewhere he wasn't
-
Yeah, I think the 'chair have gone on one of these "indefinate hiatus's", which usually means "the rest of the band don't understand where I am going with this so I'll go solo untill I see sense and realise it's not really working out and that big tax bill is looming so best get then band back together for some "come back" gigs!"
My band has been on "indefinate hiatus" since 2001, strangely we're yet to have any money spinning offers to get back together......hmmmmm
-
This is definitely my song of the week:
Strapping Young Lad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeG-6bpeUkA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeG-6bpeUkA)
Unfortunately this was recorded before Devin went sly!

What kind of music did you play?
-
Music would be a bit of an exaggeration!! ;D
We just were a no gimmicks straight up guitar rock band really, we all grew up listening to bands like Nirvana, The Pixies, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Silverchair etc.... so I guess we were probably edging towards "grunge", we all had the long hair too!!
We were destined to fail, we went through a few different line ups eventually getting the singer/guitarists brother in on lead guitar and my brother in on bass, so we had 4 members from 2 sets of parents which guarenteed it just ended up as one big arguement, especially after I.......erm......borrowed the singers girlfriend for the night!!! ;D

for me it's emimen- no love

Love the song.....though I'm just now getting to the point where I can tolerate both Eminem and Lil Wayne. Is it just me or do people ALWAYS have to sample previously recorded songs to make a new song today? FWIW this particular song samples Haddaway's "What is love".
-
Gets to me too SSH, why not write your own music.
-
That being said, I LOVE De La Soul, and most old school hip hop for that matter, and they knew how to sample tastefully and with skill. I know hip hop seem to be a bit out of my usual genres, but what can I say, I feel it, as long as it's good music.
-
Again for me.... Kid Rock. I can't believe I just started listening to him in the last year. I'm not a fan of his older , more hip hop style stuff but I LOVE so many of his songs.
Today it's "Born Free"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu3rsha1ZtI
-
Reviving an epic thread for epic reasons! haha
Not sure how many of you guys have heard of this band, but they've recently (about a month or so ago) made their way to Aussie radio, and I have fallen in love with this band, they are a folk rock group from Iceland called Of Monsters and Men. They are a truly awesome band, and even though I'm a metalhead, this track is my song of the week:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IhI87arSAE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IhI87arSAE)
This is their single (also an amazing song), Little Talks:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I)
Definitely a band you guys need to hear, I'll be scrapping pennies to go see them play when they tour Australia, not much of a bigger endorsement then that from me!

I love it! AAAANNNNNDDDDDD it turns out they are playing just up the road in SF in a couple of days at a very cool venue - Bimbo's 365 club. I'm going to have to see if I can pull off making the show.
Thanks for spreading the word about them!
Reviving an epic thread for epic reasons! haha
Not sure how many of you guys have heard of this band, but they've recently (about a month or so ago) made their way to Aussie radio, and I have fallen in love with this band, they are a folk rock group from Iceland called Of Monsters and Men. They are a truly awesome band, and even though I'm a metalhead, this track is my song of the week:

This is their single (also an amazing song), Little Talks:

You are most welcome Tyler, I hope you can get to their show!
Another band very similar to them is called 'The Lumineer' They are actually a US folk rock band:

These guys are getting soo much air time on my local rock station at the moment! If they come to Australia I'll be sure to look them up too.
I'm a huge fan of folk metal, turns out I'm just a huge fan of folk haha :D
-
I've heard of The Lumineers! They are played a lot on the radio here as well.
I'm sure you've heard of them, but I'll throw it out there anyways since it's a bit rockabilly metal - Vobeat's Sad Man's Tongue

Many of you know that I'm a huge Warren Zevon fan. This song was written by Zevon as a gift to his Family shortly before he died. He knew for about a year that he had a terminal lung disease.
Two weeks ago at my Dad's funeral my son Chris played this song... just him and a guitar. My Dad never got to see my son play live so this was an amazing gift to my Dad and everyone attending the funeral.
A great song, by a great musician. For you Dad.... I miss you:

Thanks so much for sharing Mike, it really is a beautiful song. I bet you guys made him so proud. God bless.
-
Great song, sorry about your fathers passing. Like to hear your son sing this song.
-
Hey Tyler, I've only ever heard of Volbeats, now I regret never looking them up now, I really liked that song.
Mike, thanks so much for sharing that, it really is quite a beautiful song. What a great tribute from your son too., that is truly special.

This week I have been listening to "Jackie Blue" by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils (1975?)....Beautiful little song with catchy chords and lyrics....To really appreciate this song, you have to listen to the album (long) version, the radio version edits out the most critical verse in the song which goes:
Every day in your indigo eyes
I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You'd take the world but you won't take the time
I just hate it when the radio plays the short version...(lucky for me I do have the album version on a copulation CD) and the Smashing Pumpkins just butchered this song up to me in their cover version (Sorry, no offense Smashing Pumpkins fans ;D >:D)
Side note if you ever listen to the song....That's a GUY singing in high falsetto, not a female!
-
Cool song, I listened to both versions, and I don't think they butchered it. It's not as good as the original, but for what it is it's a good cover (Might be a little biased due to my musical tastes...)
-
"Good to be me" by Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker
I've had a great week filled with great news, so this song by Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker (two of my favorite artists) is a good fit to this week. One of the pieces of good news is that Uncle Kracker will be performing down the street from my house next week for only $10!

Unless you are talking about metal then I have to agree with you, all the pop music these days is about quantity not quality...
AMEN!
Been listening to Kenny Chesney's latest album, and this song hit home with me after my dad passed on (too much death going on these days).
This song is "Sing Em Good My Friend" and is dedicated to a friend of KC's that is dying of cancer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve3vD8xtaBQ
Wonderful song. For all of those that bag on "pop country", there are still quite a few songs this new genre of country has produced that are quite good.
-

I guess that maybe I am biased to but 98% of remakes (covers) of songs are never as good as the original, I guess I have to get used to heavy metal (Smashing Pumpkins isn't a bad band, I just don't care for their cover of this song). I think it's because 1. they skip the aforementioned critical verse in the song and 2. They altered some of the words from the original in their version....my 0.02 (We might disagree here, but I'm still cool with you, Beardman! ;D)

Well... Red did a great rendition of Duran Duran's Ordinary World. Better, actually. I really like them singing it, and I hadn't heard the original. Then I'm walking through a store one day and the original is playing over the loudspeakers, and I'm thinking "What is this junk?" So yeah, that would be in the 2% I suppose.
Meaningless post. Sorry.

All posts are meaningful...don't be so hard on yourself....That's the fun of the forum hearing various opinions. If there was a song that fell in the 2% that the remake was better than the original, I would have to say it's Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" Even the original artist, Dolly Parton, said Whitney's version was better!
-
Thanks, Harry.
Oh yeah, Red. This song is a favorite of mine, "Already Over:"

I didn't pick up them changing words or dropping a verse... But don't worry man, you can disagree with me all you like, that's the beauty of music, everyone has opinion :D

I just listened to this track and I love it! This sounds weird but they are like a cross between Tom Waits and the Decemberists, great stuff.

This is the one for me this week. Many have performed it but in my opinion Jeff Buckley does it best:

I'm a huge Jeff Buckley fan, and his version really is miles above the rest. An incredible talent lost far too young.

If you didn't watch "The Voice" last night you should watch this. It was a heart wrenching tribute to the victims at Sandy Hook. Have a tissue close by:

Glad you like it! It doesn't even really fit into the realm of stuff I normally listen to, but the stuff these guys put out jives with me big time. I actually found out about them when looking up "beards" in Google image search, oddly enough.

After recently seeing Rancid live for the first time in a few years here's a nice new Rancid track they were doing on the tour (warning does contain swearing!):

Thanks for sharing Mike, it really is heart wrenching, but a beautiful tribute nonetheless. I hope all of our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Shameless plug I know, but I thought maybe you'd consider this for yours this week. White Rabbit, Black Monkey, is a side project masterminded by my good friend RJ (he came up with the name... just saying). The audio quality sucks because we just had ambient mics in the room. Let me know what you think.

I saw The Voice do their tribute to the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy by covering Hallelujah. I'd have to say my favorite cover of that song was done by John Cale.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEOZLQ3d1FI
On a side note, I've been playing The Lumineers album pretty much nonstop for a week or so. My favorite track on there has to be a song called Big Parade.

This week, I'm listening to a cool song from the Supremes on the oldies station today titled "Nathan Jones" (1971?) This was the group's biggest hit after Diana Ross left the group a couple of years prior. Although I am not a fan of covers/remakes, Bananarama did a nice cover version of the song in 1987 (It also helps that they were pretty hot women back then). This is one of the rare times a remake is just as good as the original if not better, IMO.

I have two this week: Aht Uh Mi Hed and 12:15 Slow Goonbash Blues, both by Shuggie Otis.

Shuggie Otis is amazing - when you think he recorded his album all by his own and played all of the instruments and was one of the first to play with drum computers - so sad that he didn't have more success back then and stopped recording music
here's mine https://soundcloud.com/rhyemusic/sets/debut-album-woman (https://soundcloud.com/rhyemusic/sets/debut-album-woman) - can't wait for the album to be released

really, that would be great. how old is he now? already 70?

Here's mine.... "Bad Day" by Fuel. These guys ROCK!

I think Shuggie will be 60 in the Fall.

I've absolutely fallen in love with this artist this week and I just have to share her with someone! I couldn't split the songs so I've got a double this week!
She is an amazing artist from Sweden, her current project though is a 2 person project (if I remember rightly) called "The Knives", Definitely someone to keep an eye on. She might be to out there for mainstream, but definitely worth listening too!

The second one is awesome, your varied musical tastes surprise me yet again mr Pentreath.
-
Cheers Matt, I really do have a quite the varied taste in music as you mentioned, I always find it funny how I surprise people when I mention stuff such as this.
The second one is what MADE ME have to go track her down. It is such a fitting to open up the TV series. I'm working my way through her new project, it is so 90's electro pop haha. It is not nearly as eccentric as her Fever Ray works, which is a bit dissapointing!
-
Going for an oldie here with a bit of classic Everclear. Everclear have been one of my favourate bands for the best part of the last 20 years, tonight I get to see them live for the first time......

Ahhhhh an oldie but a goodie! That's awesome that you get to see them tonight, I bet it will be better then you imagine it will be!
-
Hopefully man, mind you I'm a bit older, the band is a bit older (and only one of the original line up are left) but the songs will still be there! I'm more looking forward to meeting up with old friends as it sounds like a load of people who were into them alongside me back in the day will be there too. Plus I'm off work tomorrow so one or two beverages may be consumed!! `Dr!n#

I just bought Shuggie's new release yesterday. It's a 2 disc set consisting of a reissue of his Inspiration Information cd along with an all new cd called Wings of Love. All in all some really good stuff and well worth the price. (27 tracks for $14.99 US on iTunes.)

My song this week has definitely been a song called "Tobacco Island" by Flogging Molly. I'm not super familiar with this band, but I've been getting into this kind of celtic punk type thing. The song is very folk sounding and catchy with a nice modern punk twist.
