jawohl!

I've had many complaints from the many canine followers of this forum. The two musical dogs featured in that video are of course golden retrievers. I deeply apologise for the grave insult!


Let's just move on now and enjoy the wonderful voice of Chet Baker. It will be followed by Ginger Baker with his powerful Creamy friends and a bigass Toad and then we fly to Una Paloma Blanca with George Baker
And we will finish our musical Sunday selection with

and so listen again after that lmao

Whilst cooking again ...

Damn that's good stuff. Did you ever see his impressions of Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen? Those are almost even better. I had never sen them before.

Then YT guided me to:
Tom Jones with Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Long Time Gone

Lou Barlow solo live is pure gold

He makes it look so simple to play them songs,

Nostalgia-listen so to speak. Used to sing the highest praises of this particular album. Mellowed out a bit since.

But I still enjoy its gothy Darkwave-Dreampop-meld that was so indicative of the 4AD-sound of its time.

i saw a neil young and a springsteen impersonation and i was laughing my ass off, thanks for mentioning them

he sounds just like fucking neil young. crazy. then i found the original version lolololo.

the chris christie traffic jam song gave me goosebumps just like born to run hahahahahaaaa

but that doors song... sounds like a real doors song, and i’ve been hearing BUTTERFLY IIIN THE SSKYYYYY in my head for a day now

i had no idea the little shit had so much talent hahahaha. seriously he’s very good. this is all new to me.

Lou Barlow is my personal favorite. Thanks for sharing the video.

Starting my early morning Christmas Eve with Xiu Xiu......wish this album had at least one extra long track:

Two tracks, each over 30 minutes long......this is more like it:

Seffi Starshine - Hanami

my recurring yearly tradition to play some Ida around Xmas time. Pity that they don't exist anymore

Great choice!

Yeah, I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking 'bout snowy chilly grey somber Christmas. It's 34ºC/93ºF here, you degenerates!

Robert Fripp - Silent Night

Dave Van Ronk's rendition of Both Sides Now. Absolutely sublime

Wrong choice to listen to this while on a train. First song is titled Better Go Home Now...

was never a huge fan of the beach boys, so missed on the hype of this release, but i could not sleep the other night and put the smile sessions on the headphones...




relistening this morning, awake. that is some seriously lunatic shit! and i mean it in the best possible sense. i was so surprised. very enjoyable.

my spotify playlist

i listen to it all the time in shuffle play (you can do it too for the best result)

MGMT - In The Afternoon


This single-release almost passed without notice. I already appreciated last year's album "Little Dark Age" a lot, which in my opinion was an extensive 80s-homage done right. It had just the right amount of gothy, wavy and post-punky touches and vibes, but melded them with engaging pop-sensibilities. "In The Afternoon" now seems like a welcome addendum to the path they have layed with their previous LP. It very much has a lot of the dark, post-punky vibes sprinkled in throughout LDA, but decidedly goes for a more sincere and psychedelic approach as opposed to the cheeky synthpop-vibes that were evident on that album. It's one of those sweet companion-pieces I didn't know I needed, but now I'm glad they're there. Kind of makes me think of the first time I heard the Cure B-side "Harold And Joe" - which essentially sounds much like a Disintegration-outtake - and I mean that in a very positive way.

Without notice? Man you don’t use twitter I take it.

I’ve done a twitter experiment this year. It’s been ... 99% toxic, 1% learning about music almost as soon as it comes out.

Yeah, I'm grandpa Ben when it comes to that sorta thing. Should've written "without my notice". Instagram has finally caught up with me, but twitter I have successfully avoided so far.

bullet: dodged

i use it to gather news but the signal/noise ratio is low low low

it spams you and sends you off on infinite tangents

Must be why I'm hooked on it then.

Good for you, it’s eaten a chunk of my soul.
Instagram I haven’t done really, but only because I never do anything other than work. What am I gonna take pictures of? Me working? Go viral! Nah.

Pretty useful for my torrent announcement shenanigans, though (not that I have an account or anything).

Also, none of ya have said peep about the last three AWESOME albums I have posted pictures of on this thread, and that's why you will die horrible deaths.
