What are you listening to???

[TXZ045]

In the past couple of weeks I've been listening to abit of: Tom Wopat, John Schneider, Mysticum, Godflesh, Exodus, Skinny Puppy, Psyche, and some other stuff slipping my memory at the moment.

My wife watches "Dancing with the Stars". She called me into the living room last night because "Devil Went down to Georgia" was being sung!

[Roth Potter]

Listening to some songs of The Desert Rose Band.

[Hobie Hartkins]

I've been listening to Krokus and Accept...two heavy metal bands from Europe!

[HossC]

This song is rather a contrast to Hobie's current listening material. I only heard the track for the first time last week, but I've played it many times since.

Build Me Up From Bones - Sarah Jarosz

The instrument in the video that looks like an eight-string guitar is apparently an octave mandolin.

One of the first comments on YouTube says, "See Taylor swift. This is how you write a love song."

[Hobie Hartkins]

She's pretty good! She sure can play a guitar!!

I won't be listening to anything but Christmas music from now until January. This old world needs a little more Christmas music!

You may have something there! Roger!! My cousin starts listening to Christmas music right after Halloween...lol!!

[RogerDuke]

Just saw Hank Williams Jr on The View today. Normally I wouldn't watch that kind of show but can't resist seeing Hank. I'm starting to get a little sad because you see less and less of Hank's generation and his style of music on tv anymore. Oh well, it was nice to see it today. I guess my lifestyle is starting to fade into the past.

Dream Baby Dream by Suicide

I see on tv tonight that Merle Haggard ain't doing so good. I hope he pulls through okay. They said he has double pnemonia.

[justinpcoltrane]

So many legends from music are either sick or dying this year. Sucks.

[HossC]

According to a tweet from his son, Merle Haggard is just recovering from pneumonia.

That's good news because, as Justin said, we've already lost too many musicians since Christmas. Lemmy, the frontman of Motörhead died at the end of December, and David Bowie and Glenn Frey passed in January. Just this week we've lost Colin Vearncombe, better known as Black, who had a hit with "Wonderful Life", and Paul Kantner, who was a co-founder of Jefferson Airplane. Outside of the music world, January 2016 has also seen the deaths of actors Alan Rickman and Dan Haggerty. It hasn't been the best start to a year.

I've been building models (at work) and listening to this guy's youtube channel videos through earphones.  Even though I'm usually not seeing the 'visual' portion because my phone is in my pocket, I'm learning a lot from him.  In between its modern country stations on Iheart Radio.

Rosalinda's Eyes - Billy Joel

I've got a chance to make it
It's time for me to take it
And I'll return before the fire dies
In Rosalinda's eyes

I only discovered this British funk band just after Christmas, even though they're already on their fourth album. Their music is a mixture of instrumentals and vocal tracks.

Theme From Last Man On Earth - Big Boss Man

 

 

 

[Roth Potter]

I guess this is a fairly known song in the USA?

 

[RogerDuke]

King of the Road was a huge hit when I was young. Big Boss Man was an Elvis song.

My father used to play that song ( Big Boss Man ) and I learned it as a small child and never knew who sang it! Thanks!

I listen to the Top gun soundtrack and I love all the songs on it too

[Hobie Hartkins]

Right now I'm watching a science program and for some reason, they keep playing " I want It That Way", by The Back Street Boys.....

My favorite song on that is Mighty Wings by Cheap Trick. (I bet you folks didn't know I was familiar with any songs that weren't country from the 70s)

[Hobie Hartkins]

I've got some Cheap Trick stuff but never heard of that one....I'll have to see if I can't find it.....

[HossC]

I'll save you the trouble, Hobie. Here it is:
 

Funnily enough, there was a commercial showing recently in the UK that used Kenny Loggins' 'Danger Zone'. I'd forgotten it was on the 'Top Gun' soundtrack.

While we're talking '80s movie soundtracks, I recently re-watched 'Young Einstein', I think for the first time since I saw it at the cinema (almost 30 years ago!). I'd completely forgotten about the song 'Great Southern Land' by Icehouse. The video has more Australian scenery than a Super Bowl commercial :
 

Of course, 'Great Southern Land' probably has a different meaning to Dukes fans .
