I'm a happy camper!!!!

Tonight while cooking dinner I decided to give Arlo Guthrie a listen, love his music but haven't listened to him in a few years.

Anyway, a short while ago I'm doing my three-monthly trawl through bands' websites, looking for gigs, and I find that he's playing Ireland in January, and his one date near my home town is .... the one weekend I have booked to go home! Hurray! Seen him before about 15 years ago he's great!

*envy, envy, envy*

I've never seen him but have always wanted to. What terrific timing!
Toast my birthday while there, and I'll be happy too.

My first introduction to FM radio was wandering across Alice's Restaurant. My dad had bought a cadillac (1966) and it had a radio with a sliding bar on top. One way said "more stations" the other "less stations". Found out a few years later that "less stations" meant FM versus AM.

The first song I wandered across at 7 years old was Alice's Restaurant. I thought boy this less stations thingy sure has wierd music <grin>, but funny.

But, yeah: I like myself a bit of Brit...and her new album is boppy...and I'm addicted to the song If U Seek Amy.
I'll confess that I went thru a three week period last year where I was listening to Jessica Simpson's "I Belong To Me". There I feel better <grin>.

Thank you for your confession!

I feel better too now.

Maybe I should start a "fess up" thread: What music do you listen to which you wouldn't normally admit to listening to!

I've always liked highly emotional songs. That's how even in my hard/punk rock days I liked Barry Manilow's "Weekend in New England"

That sounds interesting. Last good cover of that song I had heard was Jewel's, who also does a pretty decent cover of the Stones "Wild Horses".

It is. Time After Time was one of Miles' concert staples from about 85 or so until he died in 91. He released a studio cut of it on one of his albums, which, unfortunately sounds more like muzak - it's pretty much the straight version of the song with the vocals replaced by trumpet. But live.... wow. Typically the song would be about 10 minutes and while usually the sax player took a solo, most of it was Miles' soloing, which wasn't all that common in the latter years. And it was never anything less than awesome.

Unfortunately most of the 80s live stuff I have is hard to get - it's in a huge (20 cd) box set of live material. But there is a pretty good live version of the tune on the Live- Around the World cd which was released shortly after his death. It's worth checking out.

Disturbed - Land of Confusion

A more optimistic song than metal is usually credited with. "This is the world we live in, and these are the hands we're given. Use them and let's start trying to make it a place worth living in."

Weirdly though, something about the melody makes me think of Phil Collins every time I hear it.

I'm guessing you are joking, but in case you are not, there is a reason for that...

I've been listening to Sexuality by Billy Bragg more or less continuously for over an hour, trying to play along on my new Christmas geeeetar.

I've got about two lines chord-perfect, and am immensely proud of myself! Though that C to Em7 change is killing me. I'm gonna give up my job, grow finger callouses and be a busker. Oh, except I can't sing. Gotta think this through more.....
