What music are you listening to right now?
Nearly every forum I read has a thread like this. Sometimes it works out great for me or others to read about or listen to stuff we've never heard before.
This thread was partially inspired by the fact nearlt every forum I'm at has such a thread, and also due to a thread that's been deleted where I mentioned the spencer davis group. So I'm going to start with them and if anyone wants to add stuff, do so.
Be warned, if you don't, then this is going to be my blog documenting everything I listen to, and you're going to have to suffer through it

Steve Winwood joined the Spencer davis group when he was ~15-16, all these songs recorded before he was 19 (most when he was only 17).
What a voice for his age. Not bad for a Brummie, not bad for probably the best vocalist for the UK ever really. Right place at the right time, when the UK was getting into american blues/rock music and here's the perfect singer in the world right there to sing it, at only that young of age!
Yes the Spencer Davis Group was sort of a cover band, so I can understand why Steve Winwood wanted to leave and write his own stuff. But a part of me wished THAT voice recorded american/blues style music a little bit longer.Last edited by paul_h; 14-09-2011 at 07:23 PM.

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
Hi Paul
For me its takes a lot to beat the wise words of the 'Boss' aka Bruce Springsteen
Every song has a story to tell
Four of his albums I can listen to back to back without a single song I dont like
Thats some going I think as most have a few on them that are a little poor

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
Funny you should ask that. ( not game to go advanced as currently holding onto R.E. coat tails. Site very unstable today). Why so funny? I've been making a vid collection of the past, as in rounding up as many songs that had significant values during various stages of life, so no one artist makes the dominant cut.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l35pI...eature=related

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
I haven't even really got started! Holding back for others to post because I like hearing different stuff that others may mention.
Listening right now to the MP3 that Plank posted. It's a one hour mix. I used to listen to a lot of electronic mixes, still listen to testo occasionally. I prefer the more ambient electronic music though, but I'm giving it a listen.
But yeah, I've got jazz, metal, ambient, electronica, alternative, industrial, rap, pop, power pop, rock and heaps of bands and genres to get to yet! Quite the few aussie/NZ 80s 90s bands I like. I love 'The Church' for example, and can't go past AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Paul Kelly etc
I've barely got started (I warned all of you)
I don't watch TV at all really. Nothing wrong with TV, I do get some good TVs shows on dvd or on my PC, and watch the entire series, and occasionally a movie (rarely). But life is too short to waste my time watching bad TV shows or any advertising.
Most of my spare time is spent listening to music while reading various forums on the 'net, unless I'm car tinkering or gardening.Last edited by paul_h; 16-09-2011 at 11:55 AM.

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
You're only 49?
They build them different in QLD I guess.
I heard that type of stuff a lot, my 65 year old dad had music after all And he loves movies made in the '60s. Kellys heroes and most of the war movies made in the 60s/70s were his favourites, and I liked them too.
here's another, BB king
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvCccp3qMX8
Why my varied taste in music?
Well years ago there was this little site called OINK. UK based and it was shut down a few years ago with the people running it arrested. But it was a torrent site you could download and listen to anything. It was a private tracker and you'd be banned if you didn't share a lot of music, so people uploaded anything and everything to keep their upload quota up. So I gave a chance to music I'd never heard of and would never buy and of course had no radio play.
It's a shame it's gone because I think I got a lot out of having access to heaps of different music I'd never heard of.Last edited by paul_h; 16-09-2011 at 01:23 PM.

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
No problem.
Next time I'll come back with portishead, smashing pumpkins, radiohead, some syd barret era pink floyd, johnny cash and... gaudi.*
I think I listened to everything you didn't!
In the early 80s I heard lame pop music, by the late 80s I was into metal. So I skipped the entire big name american bands and musos in that era, and followed the alternative music scene from 90s onwards. When everything went crap (like radios started playing the band called 'live' and their ilk, or everything else was bad singers and rappers), I started listening to 60s and 70s stuff.
So all the big stuff like what you have posted and bruce springsteen, never stuck with me., I know it, but it just doesn't work for me, I'd rather listen to david bowie ( I love hunky dory), blues, jazz, proper rock, folk, electronica or some obscure 1990s stuff. Don't really like anything from the USA in the 1980s. Best music was from the europe or aus/nz in that time except for metal IMHO.
edit* Or I could go 1980s, XTC, talk talk, talking heads, peter gabriel, the cure, new order or Siouxsie And The Banshees...Last edited by paul_h; 16-09-2011 at 03:19 PM.

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
I don't really listen to that stuff though. Syd Barret was their original singer before , well, drugs did him in.
Syd Barret era pink floyd was pretty different. It was more a normal psychedelic rock band in that era, with really crazy lyrics.

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
Yeah not familiar with that one mate...you would not want to watch it after a skin fall, unless you wanted to pray to the porcelain gods but then all floyd I think was aimed at folk who liked the magic mushroom.... those who would be in their 60's now, would know what I mean & those that are youger will know - supermen & micro dots, Aciiiiidddd

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
I'm a bit different.
Not quite right in the head for someone who knows what they're doing, to be doing domestics and small units.
Quite a rarity some might say.
I delay jobs, and rise my prices, but everyone loves me because the alternative is a rip off and don't know what they are doing, so they all put up with me.
I'm over it though, next time I know not to try do it all on my own, it just doesn't work and I'm past the meltdown point. I need at least one other mech, need more large install experience ( I just did the basic install stuff, I've always been more a repair specialist), and I need someone to answer that constantly ringing phone (always a good problem to have, but I couldn't always answer it)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwkA1ZAlQ8s
I love Mark Of Cain, a South Australian band, very much in the line of Henry Rollins - who I also love, and I think he may have produced this album.
If you're going to follow this thread, welcome to the crazy bus. It takes me out of places I shouldn't be in, but also takes me there sometimes.
Good song.Last edited by paul_h; 16-09-2011 at 05:04 PM.

Talking about Carly, she had cancer and looks the worst for wear at the moment. Hope she gets over it. . Had a cat nap on the couch for the last few hours, but i'm back untill i crash out again. 3:25 AM now, Saturday morning, keep up the music.

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
Hey any of you like johnny cash?
Just before he died he made an album called 'when the man comes around'
Lots of it cover versions of 80s and 90s band, like nine inch nails, duran duran etc.
Here's the title song used in a TV series called 'Generation kill' great short TV series about soldiers in Iraq in 1991.
Song is used at the end when they compile film they've shot during the invasion and show to each other at the end.
In the show one by one they walk away not being happy with what they witnessed and saw in the 'movie' someone compiled.
Great album, great song, great TV series

Listen to a wide variety but this guy Chris Farlowe still doing the blues circuit,for the love of music with The Norman Beaker Band,he's just turned 70 but puts on a great show,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5YKS102hPs.
Famous for "Out of Time" but really more of a blues man.
Saw him on the same bill as Otis reading and The Equals (Eddie Grant) in the sixties,bet gig ever!

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
Ah, the ever great Fleetwood Mac, I'm always amazed (impressed) by Lyndsey's guitar ability especially on The Chain. Playing both rhythm and lead with one hand...

Re: What music are you listening to right now?
Thanks for that Brian_UK. Good to see you join in. Also, R.E is quite stable here now though it was touch and go all of yesterday. Fleetwood Mac, with all the constant fighting they endured, really did deliver excellent music. Have many of their albums, back when there was no internet. Who's showing their age now?..Mike.
