Mal wieder ein neuer Song von Soulbound, von ihrem neuen Album:
AC/DC - It’s a Long Way to the Top If You Want to Rock ‘n’ Roll
Bon Scott of AC/DC would have turned 78 today
Nice, not sure why but this gave me some Beatles vibes!
Personally I got strong Madness vibes here, But now that you mention it, oh yes. Well, all these artists belong to a long line of Englisg pop, going back to…The Beatles.
Ha ha, you noticed that detail too. It has been known to happen
Stalers Wheel - Stuck In the Middle With You
I’d like to pay tribute to Scottish singer and songwriter Joe Egan, who passed away Saturday a week ago at the age of 77. Together with Gerry Rafferty, he is best known from the folk-rock band Stealers Wheel, who had a couple of hits in the mid-1970’s.
Their biggest hit and best known song is the one posted here. The song got quite the boost in its popularity, when Quentin Tarantino used it on the soundtrack to his debut movie Reservoir Dogs in 1992. Today Stuck In the Middle With You has got its rightful place in the canon of modern popular music.
So here’s to Joe Egan’s memory. Thank you for the music, may you be remembered.
New Song from Deep Purple!
Their new album will be out on the 19th of July, so in 3 days
Deep Purple - Lazy Sod
I still think Smoke on the Water is one of their greatest songs. Inspired by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
Let’s celebrate the memory of Eleanora Fagan, best known to the world as Billie Holiday (1915-1959). She was a great singer, one of my all-time favourite female voices ever. She also is regarded as one of the most influential ever, not only in jazz, but also in popular music generally. She has inspired numerous singers, and her influence can still be heard in voices of more contemprorary singers, like Beth Gibbons (Portishead) and Amy Winehouse.
Billie Holiday had a rough childhood. It’s heartbreaking to read about it on Wikipedia, and I won’t go into details here. You can look it up yourself. The tone in her voice expressed experiences and emotions that were real for her. It would take talent to make a musical career for a black female in America, still racially segregated in those days.
Billie Holiday had that talent, and a little bit more. Lucky for us, but for her it came with a price. Drugs and ■■■■■■■ became part of her life, and 65 years ago today she passed away at the age of 44, If that wasn’t enough, her last husband. had been abusing her and swindling her, and she died with USD 0.70 on her bank account. If anyone has the right to sing the blues, its Lady Day.
To Billie Holiday’s memory, Lady Sings the Blues
Billie Holiday - Lady Sings the Blues
Well, I made it through the whole song, and what can I say? With all due respect to the Japanese, this was a rather strange and unusual listening experience. The nursery rhyme vibe made it kind of catchy, but I doubt I’ll be exploring this genre any further,
Anyway, let’s move on, share songs and enjoy (or not) them together
If one of you visits Japan or Taiwan one day and they ask you to come to a Karaoke Bar. Don’t go.
Thanks man
Yes, much better! Elvis sure is one of the greats. Although I’ve never been a huge Elvis fan, I do really like a lot of his songs
Soundgarden - Fell On Black Days
Let us celebrate the memory of American singer Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave and solo), who would have turned 60 today if his life hadn’t ended in such a tragic manner in 2017. To his memory, here’s one of Sondgarden’s best known songs
Great song. I only knew them from their song “Black Hole Sun”.
