Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (this song isn't on youtube, but it is good and you should seek it out, it is called "Are We Getting Any Closer?" and it is by Songs: Ohia off the record "Mi Sei Apparso Come Un Fantasma." I want to build a house on the chords they use in this song.) All those days We don't have days like that left to us Grey flames They circle around the blue sky There were so many things we couldn't manage And there are so many things we still can't manage I remember us Uncertain Staring straight across the silence Of the deserted world To see if we were getting any closer Are we getting any closer?

odessasteps Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Ive become addicted to these old school remixes underneath classic soul train dance line footage. I think i put over this one on the board already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 True or false: In the alternate universe where Aaliyah didn't die, Beyonce is considered to be not that big a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I don't know that it was stuck in my head, but for some reason I found myself listening to about 15 different versions of "Helter Skelter" yesterday. U2's is still the best, though Paul McCartney sounds far better than he has any right to at his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 @OSJ Any chance you checked out the Siouxsie and the Banshees version, particularly the one from the live Nocturne album? @AxB False, as I think they'd both be considered big deals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 @zev Don't be silly, that was the first one I played. I do love me some Siouxsie Sue. When all is said and done, my Irish prejudice shows through and even though I find him a sanctimonious, self-righteous twat*, I have to give to Bono for just fucking killing it on Rattle & Hum. *Yes, he's done lots of great things, but he's so fucking annoying... @AxB In said alternate world, I think she would have found more of a career in film and Beyonce would have stayed the course in music, so both would be big deals but for different reasons.

supremebve Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've had the chorus of this song in my head all damn day. I've been listening to a shit load of Funkadelic lately and this is my favorite right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Joey Alves passed away the other day and that got me to bust out some Y&T. Woke up with this playing in my head today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Holy shit! I didn't know that. Now everyone from the classic lineup except Meniketti is dead. This sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I know it's officially Wednesday, but I'm still trying to get to sleep and this isn't helping. Earlier on Tuesday, Mrs. OSJ asked me if Steve Martin could really play the banjo. The short answer is "like a fucking god of bluegrass", however, I wanted to provide some aural evidence, so off to youtube... Of course, any search for "Steve Martin" is going to get you this: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This would be the last song played on my fave DJ's last shift, on the local radio station, before the staff gutting new ownership's format change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 As this has been absolutely fucking tormenting me since I saw the video on MTV Classic's Metal Mayhem LAST FRIDAY, and will not stop tormenting me today of all days, I present this earworm to share the misery. Fucking hell, please stop, please stop, please stop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The main bassline inspired the one for "Lounge Act", per Krist Novoselic. Not surprising since they covered "Love Buzz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 It's funny, but this is the version that sticks in my head. It's the lyric change from "blue-eyed son" to "brown-eyed son" that does it. Matches my son's dark brown eyes instead of my pale blue ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Damn, that's the first time I've heard this version, I fucking love it. A million bazillion stars!!! However, just as a counterpoint I give you one of my late heroes making it his own: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
