The Music Thread

This is nearly sixty years old now , yet could you imagine the kind of reception this would receive today in Trump’s new christo-fascist America ? It was subversive then but would more likely be branded seditious now.

Talking about punk.

Any fans of the clash here ? London calling is a seriously good album and I’m not a punk fan.

Never did I think that I would post…Italian disco electronica. But I found this on the internet and…You know what guys ? I have listened to this now in the background 3 nights in a row. That’s…unlike me. But this was so refreshingly honest with no bullshit. And 0.000% fucks given by both !

Warning: Many units of alcohol are consumed in this video :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Last night, I was writing; to this:

We go from the kitchen to the balchony. No fucks given. Much alcohol consumed.

Were were you when I was young and could have drunk enormous amounts of alcohol to this (fair to say, I listened to rock n roll and metal, but I make allowances for something special that feels real and not fakes) ?:

Perfectly dorky. Essentially, quirky enough to be interesting. Less quirky than this, no interest from me (Because I generally don’t listen to or even like electronica; though I do like this I find, simply because it gives me quirky good vibes and I feel like drinking or smoking a lot of weed; which I am sadly again too old to do a lot)

Well I wasn’t going to wander around Derry without seeing this.

Love that song, common staple among folk musicians. My personal favourite version though is the one sung by Carey Mulligan and Justin Timberlake in Inside Llweyn Davis, surprisingly good. Films decent too.

A Northern Soul banger from 1968 , incredibly with the original video. Later covered by Dexy’s on their first album. Both versions.

Back from seeing Warrior Soul rip it up on stage! Whatever they play live sounds great! They still have that old school Guns N’ Roses energy and vibe on stage!

This may be of interest, as I know there are a couple of Judas Priest fans on here. I was watching their Hellfest 2025 performance on ARTE (German arts channel). They mentioned that it is also available on YouTube, and I think this is available internationally:

It’s a really good performance as well. For a band that has been going for over 50 years, it sounds very fresh.

I pay special attention to my favourite bands playing at Hellfest because you can expect some wonderfully recorded videos coming out, sometimes even of whole concerts. That one was great obviously (I was slightly irritated that it got taken down initially but it was restored after a few days).

A side note but this one was great, too (though original one in high quality has been taken down, unfortunately):

O’er grassy dale, and lowland scene
Come see, come hear, the English Scheme.

Up in Manchester somewhere , the lower-class, want brass, bad chests, scrounge fags.

While down in leafy Cambridge they pedal their bicycles down pokey quaint streets while reminiscing about our distant spastic heritage.

Grotesque !

You know what’s today? Today is the day when new Paradise Lost album is released.

Leonard Cohen - The Future

Sad to think the Great Man would have been 91yrs old today…
How ironic he passed on 7th November 2016, the day before Trump was elected for his first term in office..!
Amazing to think he had the prophetic foresight to pen this song nearly 40yrs ago - Describes the world of today perfectly.!

"Give me back the Berlin Wall…
Give me Stalin and St Paul…
I’ve seen the future brother, and it is murder"
