What was the last... `Tune` that you played ? Showing 851-900 of 2,664

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Well, I'll soon fix that. The Open Door, Evanescence.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I love the Beethoven symphonies.

[Terry]

haha, Patty. And I love them too Geoff. My moods decide what I listen to. Although my preferences tend to hang between classical, rock, reggae. Used to be a ton of rap and R&B, but not so much now. Maybe it's my age.

As you've probably seen already my choices are dictated by my iPod being on random album setting. I'm on track 6820 of 21519, so still a way to go.

The only way to get myself into rap was to think of it as poetry set to music. Have you ever listened to The Betjeman Banana Blush? That was the poet lauriate with music background. That's my comparator, but somehow I could never quite imagine him putting a cap in anyone's ass. Actually, he'd probably do it to Lord Beeching if it had saved our railways.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Now listening to Lie Back and Enjoy it by Juicy Lucy.

[Patti (baconater)]

Seriously, I think you and Dave have the same iPod. It's scary. I've been listening to Tom Petty this morning, after our conversation last night. Dave tried to change it to something else while he was home for lunch but I gave him one of my patented dirty looks and he changed his mind.

[Terry]

I've listened to a little of Sir John. Sometimes, once in a great while, and if you find the right one, a rapper has something profound to say. Sadly, more often than not it's utter garbage lyrically and musically too.
Now listening to Sprach Zarathustra performed by The London Philharmonic, quickly followed by Holst: The Planets, Op 32, Jupiter. For the unfamiliar, quite a bit of the score in Lord of the Rings, especially certain note sequences, sound remarkably similar to Jupiter. This type of music tends to set my muse into overdrive, hence why I listen.

[Patti (baconater)]

I love The Planets. So much so I planned a whole term's science unit around it and made a class of 7 and 8 year olds listen to it practically every day for three months a few years ago.
Think I'll put it on now. Thanks Terry. :)

Hans Zimmer "borrowed" a lot of Holst's Planets for the soundtrack to Gladiator. Mind you, he borrows a lot from classical themes. Having said that, where would Mendelssohn and others be without the gypsies?

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Listening to An All Star Tribute to Joni Mitchell. Quite good.

[Lorraine]

Terry i don't think it's anything to do with age, i'm 42 and really only listen to dance music being a child of the eighties house has never left me, just listened to Bruised water, Chicane and Paid in Full, Eric B and Rakim.

[Terry]

Eric B and Rakim, favorites of mine, especially Rakim, now there was a man who had things to say. Good memories. In age, I meant how my tastes have changed or some would say matured over the years. Or like you I'm still partial to what I grew up on, which is much of what you may have, us being close in age. My childhood memories are filled with my dad in the backyard blasting Marley and smoking a spliff. Pretty much a staple in much of the Caribbean. Speaking of Marley, listening to No Woman, No Cry.

[Lorraine]

I use to spend alot of time with my grandad who loved Shirley Bassey. My mum is a huge Cliff Richard fan i've managed not to follow in her footsteps, whereas my dad likes Bobby Vee and that rubbed off on me.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I'm currently listening to Classic FM's Relaxation - The Ultimate Piano Chillout Album. Modest (Not Mussorgsky) little claim that.

Anyway, some beautiful music on there. It's a 3 CD set.

[Patti (baconater)]

We're listening to Little Feet-Feets Dont Fail Me Now.

Could be worse...

Exactly. He's reading through your email now. He says thank you.

My pleasure. Melo and I have been friends for many years, through bad times and good. She is fiercely passionate about music in general and progressive music in particular.

I went to see Tom Waits at the Dominion theatre in the early eighties... twas very cool indeed.

Unkle... Where did the night fall

[Patti (baconater)]

Audience House on the Hill but we're putting a film on in a minute.

[Maureen (Mews)]

Unfortunately due to my brother being here I am being forced to listen to Justin Bieber and Michael Buble. The same two songs OVER AND OVER!

Does anyone else think it's weird for a 26 year old hetrosexual (alledgedly) man to be listening to this crap?

I blame the parents. What's the next step, Liza Minnelli?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

The over and over bit is what worries me - thats fine for a 2 year old, but 26.....

[Ian]

Nothing wrong with Bieber and Buble. I often listen to them just after watching Strictly.....allegedly

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I am currently listening to Saint Saens' Danse Macabre.

[Patti (baconater)]

I quite to hear you say that out loud, Gingerlily. I love your lilt.

We're listening to Richard Thompson-The Old Kit Bag

[Maureen (Mews)]

Listening to Completely Hooked - The Best of Dr Hook. Geoff is to blame because he mentioned them in another thread today and I had to go dig out the CD.

My brother is still here, so I am going to play it at full volume. Sweet revenge! (I am willing to bet he has probably never heard of them.)

Well have to chat on Skype some time. I'll be in London this thursday so won't be able to join in this week either. :(

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh bother. We have skyped before though. That's how I know I love your lilt.
Funny Maureen. After Geoff posted the Silverstein poem I almost posted the lyrics to 'don't give a dose to the one you love most'

I managed to restrain myself. Hehe

Did he write Sylvia's Mother? I adore that tune...

[Maureen (Mews)]

Yes he did, Patti.

[Patti (baconater)]

Flippin' heck Maureen. Read this thread to Dave and he went and dug out his Frank Zappa DVD of 'does humour belong in music' circa 1984.

I am now being subjected to it and I BLAME YOU!

[Maureen (Mews)]

Ooops sorry!

[Patti (baconater)]

Say that again, this time with a straight face.

[Maureen (Mews)]

I am not sure it's possible to have a straight face while listening to Dr Hook.

(That's my excuse!)

;-)

[Patti (baconater)]

Strawbs-From the Wychwood.

See what happens when Dave doesn't have work in the morning?

We need a pity party for poor Patti.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

I'm not listening to music at the moment. Not sure of the politics down here. Bugger.

[Patti (baconater)]

Aw. Poor Geoff. You can do some head banging in your hotel room later. I hope you got the mini bar sorted. ;)

[Ian]

Talking of Zappa....tell Dave to beware the yellow snow in the land of the Eskimo

He should have heard of them, they still exist.

We saw Dr Hook this year in New Zealand. Of course they have split up - this was the fellow with the eye-patch. He was dreadful, couldn't even sing his own songs. You should know when to quit.

He was the support act to Creedence Clearwater, who were excellent.

[Patti (baconater)]

Thanks Ian. He did the last time we visited my family.

We're listening to Page and Plant. No Quarter.

I love 'Apostrophe. Great album.

Saddened by Dr Hook. Cover of the Rolling Stone is a great song. Very funny.

[Ian]

She's A Star by James

[Maureen (Mews)]

I went to check Dr Hook on you tube last night after listening to the CD (probably because I couldn't remember what most of them looked like :p). There was some recent footage of the guy with the eye-patch signing at a concert, and you are right Vic, it was awful.

Cover of the Rolling Stone is a very funny song Geoff. I found this little gem from The Old Grey Whistle Test last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv_TA2...

My favourite one is The Millionaire, another very funny song.

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that one. I'll need to dig that out when I get home.

Dave is you-tubing Zappa. Penicillin Penny now.

You have a lot to answer for, Maureen. ;)

[Simon (Highwayman)]

The first time ever
Leona Lewis.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Better in time. Leona.

[Ian]

Simon.......get out more

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Human - killers.

Any better?

No? Perhaps I should go up the pub then
