Kat Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I'm back on a Dir en Grey nostalgia kick. Throw in a mix of SKALD, Nightwish, and Beth Crowley to shake it up a bit between though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetwater Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Watching Gensan Cup held last weekend. I thought Taichiro Yamakuma's SP was cool and googled his music ...and learned that ice can be a good soundboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I was listening Rolling Stones today, and then now I read the news that their drummer Charlie Watts has died today at the age of 80. He was the band's drummer in the past 58 years, him, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards were the three members who were threre from the beginning, the others came later. Compared to Jagger and Richards he was more in the background, but his contribution to shaping the sound of the Stones was big. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So grateful to have had the opportunity to see the stones live on the no filters tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Some music I listened to today The Soft Machine I (1968) full album (Canterbury's best jazz fusion band's great debut) Arctic Monkeys - Suck it and See (2011) full album (not their best but still an enjoyable listen in their strong catalogue) Compilation of alternative 1960s: Over Under Sideways Down by The Yardbirds Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles (this is an 55 year old song but still sounds like something from the future) I'm Waiting for My Man by the Velvet Underground & Nico Piece of My Heart by Big Brother and the Holding Company Friday on my Mind by The Easybeats (Australia's best song in the 20th century) Light My Fire by The Doors (Ray Manzarek's organ playing is genius) Psychotic Reaction by Positively 13 o'clock (I haven't heard of them before) I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time by The Third Bardo (another obscure band I haven't heard of before) Turn! Turn! Turn! by The Byrds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 It's been 20 years since the death of Aaliyah, I can't believe how time flies. I think the whole R&B-pop scene in the US would've been different had she been alive these past years. She was so talented, I think more talented than others that became really big (like Beyonce, Rihanna...). She was on the rise when she died at age 22. This song still sounds fresh after all these years. I hope it will be reuploaded on Youtube, too, it had many millions of views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetwater Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Aaliyah was one of my favorite R&B singers back in the day. I loved her voice and attitude. I wish she was still around and continued singing and acting, taking full control of her own life and her creation... Today I am listening to this song. The singer/songwriter of the band died 12 years ago at the age of 29, so hearing the band's earlier works has always evoked sadness as well as nostalgia. However, today, the song sounds a bit different because we had the news that this song has made it into a music textbook for high schoolers. This is a song about young people at the end of mid-summer, so I found it kind of sweet that we had such news at the beginning of the end of summer (Yes, we are still experiencing heat here...) though I also wonder how this song would sound to the actual young people who may have spent the whole summer stuck in their home. Here is my translation of the lyrics. Spoiler Wakamono no subete (All about the youth) "The height of summer has peaked out," Said the weather forecaster on TV Though I feel the city is still buzzing restlessly The chime telling us it is five in the evening Somehow resonates within me today I blur it with a convenient thing That called "fate" The time for the last fireworks has come for this summer as well That I will keep looking back even after years Will there be no chance? No, there will not You will not be there, probably If I see you, could I say? I am closing my eyes and visualizing it Having learned the promises of the world Grown into a decent someone I will be there again Another street light turned on And I hurry home Because I want to retrieve The rest of the dream that has been broken off The time for the last fireworks has come for this summer as well That I will keep looking back even after years Will there be no chance? No, there will not You will not be there, probably If I see you, could I say? I am closing my eyes and visualizing it I slowly start walking Leaving my abrasion as it is The time for the last fireworks has come for this summer as well That I will keep looking back even after years Will there be no chance? No, there will not That was what I was thinking OMG I am at a loss I don't know what to say When the last fireworks finished Will we be different? Now we are looking up at the same sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallycinnamon Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 One of the songs Trusova will skate to in her free skate is I Wanna Be Your Dog, she chose the version in the film Cruella. This is the original version by The Stooges, back from 1970, cool stuff: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallycinnamon Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I love Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade and today I've listened to the whole piece played by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. which was great. Now I'm listening Má vlast by Smetana from the same orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayu93 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Aside from my phone on shuffle if watched quite a bit of live recordings of epica in the last days so representative of that I'll post the Unchain Utopia performance they released of their YT channel from the live stream concert they did earlier this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
