What music are you listening to?

In The Evening ended and All Of My Love just started (both from Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door album.)

Yes, more music for us old farts...

More often for me it is the cicadas, or the birds, or squirrels....the wind in the trees, accented by the occasional siren or car horn....sometimes punctuated by metal smashing together, or a screetch owl.

Even while driving long distances....if by myself the radio is often off.
 
Re:1003 - Wil - I have been deaf in one ear since the age of about seven. I don't understand lyrics, so I seldom turn the radio on but like you I enjoy nature's "music". BTW - I live in the totality path of the recent solar eclipse - the two most strange things I noticed during in the 2.5 minutes of "lights out" was cicadas and roosters raising cane. No. The hens didn't "go to roost".:)
 
Cool, we.were at 86%. Half my friends who went had clear weather and the other half overcast...all.enjoyed the heck out of it it appears.

I did play three albums today...April wine, ELP works, and Mott the Hoople...
 
My era, not my bag...for some reason if they hit the pop charts I started losing interest....they had to really rock...it didn't to me, was in Kansas, Abba territory....
 
Universal? It was just to soupy for me. Not that I mind trips to the astral plane... They typically aren't in avoidance of today or tomorrow...
 
On reflection and a little digging, Dreamweaver could well be lodged in there because of events on my spacetime continuum circa '75.

The song was inspired by Autobiography of a Yogi, given to Wright by George Harrison, and a line from a Paramhansa Yogananda poem 'God, God, God!': "when the mind weaves dreams".

John Lennon made reference to the dream weaver in his song 'God' with the Plastic Ono Band:
I was the dream weaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
 
Actually, digging back into the past reminds me our 40th anniversary is coming up.

So I'll be playing various tracks: Anything and everything from Elkie Brooks' "Two Days Away" which was the soundtrack to our romance. Elvis Costello's "Watching The Detectives", which nails the whole noir thing (ending with the immortal lyric: 'She's fling her nails while they're dragging the lake') and Robert Palmer's "Johnny and Mary" — all three do to me now what they did to me then.
 
A song that might interest Thomas: Spirit In the Sky by Norman Greenbaum (just ended.)

Another song that might interest wil: Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen

Hmm ... went from Spirit in the Sky to Your Own Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode) >>> Woke Up This Morning (Alabama 3, love the video!) >>> Memo From Turner, (Performance, what a movie!)>>> Coming In On A Wing And A Prayer (Ry Cooder did the music on the movie) which switched me Back To Bayou Teche (Sonny Landreth – and my daughters really loved Common Law Love when they were kiddies!) ... and relax ... balance off Walkin To New Orleans (Jools Holland — great documentary, by the way) and, because I suppose I must, Oh Well (Fleetwood Mac) ... enjoy! :cool:
 
Happy anniversary to you and your bride Thomas...

So many innapropriate remarks, songs, lyrics.... But I am holding my thumbs!

I will not tweet nonsensical, thoughtless, self serving comments....

But will play... Oh dang, every title or song has double entendre connotations....some Vivaldi, I am playing Vivaldi.
 
Oooh ... innapropriate double entendres is it! I'm up for that! Try S.O.B (Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats) or Devils Look Like Angels (The Reverend Payton's Big Damn Band) ... or say it like it is Two Magicians (Steeleye Span)

Me and my buddies used to listen to An Electric Storm In Hell (White Noise) ... but that was definitely only to be experienced in, ah, erm, a state of, shall we say, altered consciousness?

But Vivaldi ... Curved Air, and off I go again into psychedelic prog rock ... anything by Jon and Vangelis, the latter of whom takes me to the soundtrack for Bladerunner...(we'll rest King Crimson or Hawkwind)

But let us blow those logismoi away ... how about It's A Beautiful Day?
