Music - what are people listening to now?

[migrant]

Being a blues fan, this is what I am listening to:



Walter Trout rocking Elmor James' old hit 'Dust My Broom'.

There has been some great renditions over the years of that tune!!

[stgrhe]

IMO, the worst thing that has happened to the popular music is MTV and here is a serious contribution to that debate.

I have just been given a James Marshall Hendrix collection CD. Geez, it won't be alone among the CDs, family never check the CD cupboard before buying presents. Good to go retro occasionally and relisten to classics such as Hey Joe and Purple Haze with its oft' misheard line of 'scuse me while I kiss this guy'.

[BaaBaa.]

I think Mr P might like this one!

[caller]

The Beatles!

The remastered White Album from last year. Always one of my favourite albums - it just got better!

As my Hindu neighbours are kicking off again with their bells and chanting to Krishna, I've put on "Black Grape - Reverend Black Grape" at full volume. And now "In the Name of the Father".
Sean Ryder should keep them quiet.
Ouch, the missus has told me turn the music down. Suppose I better obey

Still listening to George Formby, Vera Lynn, Al Bowlly, Alma Cogan, etc. Maybe I'm missing something in my life.

Im havin a bit of a world music day......maybe it was the biff for brekky, or maybe Im worn out after a night of moshing..... anyway



Cheb Khaled....reminds me of many a manic taxi ride in Egypt and The Jordan....tell me this doesnt get your feet tapping and bum wiggling



Ofra Haza...a beautiful woman with a transcendant voice and a heart bigger than here home country...(and its the theme music for one of my favorite films)....she had such a beautiful voice it could melt steel and still raises a small tear in my eye to think she was silenced too soon.

The next couple are by Le Mysteres de Voix Bulgares aka the Bulgarian State Radio Womens Quoir...beautiful haunting music that reminds me of travels and times in E Europe....also goes well with sitting watching teh sun set over the Namib desert or doing a bungy jump off Viccy Falls....





and my favorite - Kaval Siri



and this is how I got into them.....(listen to the start and layered back track)



now, back to my book nd biff.....

as with The God Machine to the Bulgarian Womens Quoir link, heres how uncle sandy got to appreciate the eartheral beauty of Ofra Haza

from this



through this.....



to this....



and now when I see a pair of kohl lined eyes beneath a veil...I always wonder if shes as beautiful as Ofra...

[sandman67]

ps....

this is the better more traditional version of Elo Hi



reminds me a bit of Catalan style folk music, which Ive only got audio tracks of......Georgian "Table Music" (a mainly accapella style of folk singing) is like this too.

[sandman67]

and as Ive done a Sherlock and turned today into a three pipe problem heres a little early 80s neo-psychadelia care of my favorite Planet Gong offshoot The Here and Now Band

Jaques Cousteau Loves Anchovies!!!!!

[sandman67]

well it seems the mellow mood has me again, and so today Im reading a good book and listening to this



(thats a corking version of it too)

and one from the other side



throw in some Ludwig



and to end lets get out those Dr Phibes / Phantom of The Opera costumes, crank up the pipe organ and goth out

[sandman67]

And this evening on Radio Sandman its Marguarita Time! Yaaayyyyy! So lets get some music from south of the border, where the taco runs free and men are real men...

Heres a couple care of my favorite Cuban musician ELIADES OCHOA...looks like my uncle Jimmy, plays like Jimmy Page...







top stuff there from Eliades, and in the last Buena Vista video he is accompanied on stage by the late and very very great Compay Segundo......

now we move onto the Spaghetti Western Tex Mex madness of CHINGON



and as the sun slowly sets in the west, snuggle down in the warm embrace of SALMA HAYEK as she sings you to sweeeeeet dreams



oooooohhhh man that makes me soooooooo horny.


we are muchachos
we smoke cigareeeeeeyos
and we love those spicy
taco flavor smiles....

eat em and smile chums

Sandman,

I listen to a lot of Latin music,

Mana's Mariposa Tracionera reminds me of my old bar scene days.

There are a couple videos of the song, you'll know the one if you see it!
