What are you listening to?

[DrBackJack]

For Zombie,
How it is.

[zombie67]

Nice! I'll add it to my stash.

[zombie67]

Two of the best voices ever, together. Full stop.

What an awesome song!

And damn...such an amazing performance, even in this crap recording.

Holy crap! Jay Leno was thin!

Oh! That's a vinyl 33 1/3 LP!

The massive shoulders and big hair of the 80s!

There is something about the vibe of this I cannot get out of my head. And that's a good thing.

Hozier - Jackie And Wilson



"Jackie And Wilson"

So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes,
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight.
So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
For reasons wretched and divine.

She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild
Laughing away through my feeble disguise
No other version of me I would rather be tonight.
And, Lord, she found me just in time

'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young

She's gonna save me,
Call me "baby, "
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy,
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus,
Be detectives,
Ride round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson,
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues.

Lord, it be great to find a place we could escape sometime
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside.
Sit back and watch the world go by.

Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us.

She's gonna save me,
Call me "baby, "
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy,
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus,
Be detectives,
Ride round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson,
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues.

Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset
Looking up from the cigarette, and she's already left
I start digging up the yard of what's left of me and our little vignette
For whatever poor soul is coming next

She's gonna save me,
Call me "baby, "
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy,
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus,
Be detectives,
Ride round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson,
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues.

Beck performing "Blue Moon" Live



I'm so tired of being alone
These penitent walls are all I've known
Songbird calling across the water
Inside my silent asylum

Oh don't leave me on my own
Left me standing all alone
Cut me down to size so I can fit inside
Lies that will divide us both in time

See the turncoat on his knees
A vagabond that no one sees
When a moon is throwing shadows
You can't save the ones you've caught in battle

Oh don't leave me on my own
Left me standing all alone
Cut me down to size so I can fit inside
Lies you try to hide behind your eyes

Don't leave me on my own
Don't leave me on my own
So cut me down to size so I can fit inside
Lies that will divide us both in time

Jeff Beck, Gary U.S. Bonds - New Orleans (live)

My Old Addiction - K.D. Lang

(My opinion: She is amazing talent, and Drag is an amazing album)



My old addiction
Changed the wiring in my brain
So that when it turns the switches
Then I am not the same

So like the flowers toward the Sun
I will follow
Stretch myself out thin
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
That sends me out into this wind

My old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat
Can keep me dry
But my weight is all
That it can stand

So when I try to lean just a little
For just a splash to cool my heat
Ahh that trickle
Turns out fickle
Fills my boat up
Five miles deep

My old addiction
Makes me crave only what is best
Like these just this morning song birds
Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window
Take my hand to be their mom
These open mouths
Would trust and swallow
Anything that came along

Like my old addiction
Now the other side of Day
As the springtime
Of my life's time
Turns the other way

If a swan can have a song
I think I know that tune
But the page is only scrawled
And I am gone this afternoon
But the page is only scrawled
And I am gone this afternoon

Slayer- 'Angel of Death' at the Big 4concert - Live at Sofia, Bulgaria

The "Grandfather of the double bass drums"..
If you know what that is, it goes on during several parts of the song,
if you don't...
Look at 4:42 to see what it is.
It's been copied by many bands since the early 80's
and not very many drummers do it very well like he does.

[Ron Shurtz]

My mother was a music teacher.
That meant I was required to play a musical instrument.
I broke off a portion of a front tooth in the third grade.
The break went into the gum.
After having it capped I was told I couldn't play any musical instrument that used the mouth for fear of putting pressure on the tooth and killing it.

It was the drums in the band or the violin in the orchestra.

That is how I started my musical life as a drummer.

Here is what I listen to.

Godsmack - Batalla De Los Tambores

[DrBackJack]

Nice Ron !
Those double sets live are so kool.
Godsmack is a really good band.
Slayer ? I was never a fan of this band.
But they do a few songs that are really unique for what they did.
The speed they played at was their main thing.
The fact that they have been touring now for 30 years is amazing !
They rolled close by here last year.
