The Music Thread

[stefmeister]

 

Nowadays really I listen to mostly electronica on mix / soundcloud and the music on Giles Peterson's Worldwide FM although i have my music library of a few thousand CD's ripped and ready at all times in all places.

 

Should say that although I could call myself a music lover I have absolutely no musical talent. No that I didn't try though....

 

Please post your thoughts, your discoveries, your stories,,,

What digital front end and software are you running? Roon, Volumio, JRiver?

Sinéad O'Connor converts to Islam

 

Her first album was a stunner - found that at Street Records in Braamfontein back in the day

She has struggled with a lot of demons during her life, maybe this will bring her some peace..perhaps Buddhism would've been better for her[emoji6]

I tried to learn guitar, but being left handed I never committed properly. Love my music... And pretty much all genres except hard rock/metal... Never got into that

I am left handed. Started playing at varsity on an upside down a la Hendrix. Check out a left guitarist Doyle bramhal. He plays left with strings strung for a righty. Now that is a serious mind **** watching him an not hearing the sounds associated with the shapes.

 

I played in 4 or 5 bands you never heard of. I love music an the feeling when it all grooves in a band is one of the best feelings on earth. When it gels it’s like drugs.

 

Normally listen to old school metal, a bit of trance, some Giorgio. Old school metal rules. Early Syd floyd an good ole rock rules.

 

Still have a custom made les Paul ,case full of stomp boxes an small tube amp. Resurrect my musical career at some point.

There's a really good movie with Steve coogan called twenty four hour party people. Which kinda defines that drug scene. There's also a mini documentary from the BBC about Shaun Ryder and a bit about Bez. The okes are tickets now... Can barely function.

 

I Saw the stone roses final gig at reading 96. I'm sad to report that it was very underwhelming.. But... Still got to see them I guess

Aah Reading and Glastonbury. Hazy memories of my youth in one of my 'I'm living in England forever' stages. They never lasted ????

Was my first thought too when I heard.

I've been playing bass in church for years. One stage all three guitarists in the group (wouldn't call it a band) were lefties playing right-handed.

Sitting on the porch, listening to Jeffrey Foucault and his guitar. Country blues at its best. Album = Miles from the lightning. Almost John Prine/Townes van Zandt. Can't be more complementary.

 

Edit: add folk to the country blues bit. As difficult to put Jeff in a category as Baby in a corner. All I know is I'm drinking whiskey and close to tears.

Been battling to find a good Country song, then came across this tune from Scotty McCreery:

 

 

Makes me wish that tune was played at mine and my wife's wedding.

Been battling to find a good Country song, then came across this tune from Scotty McCreery:spend some time to discover John Prine. Bob Dylan rates him. He makes jokes bout bicycle spokes, but does loads of social commentary laden in jest and often dead serious.

I have a friend that plays guitar like Bramhal. It definitely is quite strange but once you get used to it it's actually amazing to see and experience.

 

Custom made Les Paul - you are lucky fella!

My softer playlist. Suspect it may be a bit old for most. But there it is.
