I'm only three minutes into this video, but I wanted to share it since it is fun with good music from the ol' Beatles/McCartney:


This was amazing, just imagine being in that pub at the end having a beer when those curtains open?

Can" a German experimental band formed in Cologne, West Germany, in 1968.

You know it from "Vitamin C" fame.

Always put the link so we can check it out. If I go looking I may get a alternative version that does not do your choice justice.

The Beatles meet Google Maps... :smile:

Penny Lane

"Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say "Hello""

Real view: Penny Lane Barber Shop on Google Maps



Strawberry Fields Forever
"Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever"

Lol, I always considered this just a somewhat catchy novelty song, but... after reading some of the posts in another thread. . :frown:

I'm kind of starting to wonder... ? . :oldconfused: . :rolleyes:

A new, very good song by Nothing But Thieves, released only four days ago (19 October). Personally I think it is darn awesome, I love the chords, the guitars, the vocals, the lyrics and the theme, which I interpret as "fame as a religion". Bullseye. :kiss:
(from the EP What Did You Think When You Made Me This Way?)

Nothing But Thieves - Gods

Another post by me about the UK band Nothing But Thieves, since I have realized they are on a roll and they are ridiculously good live...
This post is about an unusual performance, it's very seldom I see artists do this kind of thing, namely a cover of a song blended with parts of another song, in this case "Believe" by Mumford & Sons and "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin.

The reason why I post it is because it is such a good live performance overall, and the vocal performance here is in my opinion out of this world. The vocalist Conor Mason and his band may be destined for great things to come :smile:.

This came out while I was trying to write by dissertation and I missed it until I got the sound track of "Guardians of the Galaxy II" and I am from the Chicago area too.

"Lake Shore Drive" by Aliotta, Haynes, and Jeremiiah

Heard this for the first time yesterday, darn, the chorus is so good, and the vocals too...
...the high notes in the chorus is not a synthesizer, it is the falsetto of the vocalist :smile:.



Lyrics said:
Eyes upon the paper headline, Refuge in your phone
Bumping shoulders, Cough and sniff, But no-one says hello
Excuse me while I run, I really got to get out of here
Interpretation said:
Painting a sensory-rich portrait of the stifling, desperate atmosphere of a packed commuter subway car, Nothing But Thieves expresses the existential dread, alienation and overwhelming desire to flee from the isolation and conformity of modern urban life.
Source: Nothing But Thieves - Excuse Me - Lyrics

And here's another good song from their brand new EP: You Know Me Too Well.

Seems I'm a little more modern. I've been listening to RHCP and Last Night by P Diddy lately.

And from classical music I jump abruptly to good electronica by Trentemöller (from Denmark):

Trentemoller - Moan (Trentemoller Remix) (with vocals)
(the part 4:00 - 5:30 is pure ear candy to my ears :smile:)


And here's a live performance from 2017 on KEXP which is good:
(with vocals, live drums, bass, guitar and synths)

There is always time for the Pat Metheny Group.

Are you going with me?

I am going to see this cool and talented band live soon, which I look forward too.
I personally think Khruangbin is a bit hard to categorize, since they play a mix of genres.
On the Wikipedia page they are categorized as "Psychedelia, soul, funk, instrumental rock".
They have released two good albums and a number of EPs. I love their sound and find it quite relaxing.
Here are two good live performances, and it was via the KEXP channel that first I discovered them:

Khruangbin - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) (4 songs)

Try LoFi. Maybe you will like it. Very good to chill.

This is simply a marvellous piece of music, which I heard for the first time today.
It is a cellist who plays to a loop machine, which records different pieces, and then plays them back while she plays new things.

Rachael Lander - Bad Girls & Bartok

I find myself playing this one a lot...
probably nostalgia, i hung out there in high school.
South Beach was a run down neighborhood then of course it's since gentrified.
That big pink hotel was a dog racing track . A fresh bagel was a nickel at "Beach Bagel Bakery"

Anyhow it lifts my spirits - i hope it does yours..
