What are you listening to? Video Thread

The calendar says that I'm scheduled to impose my musical taste on you guys.  Yes, New Music Friday.  Are we excited?   We are excited.  I mean, just look at this guy -

 🕺

Starting off, as always, with some Russian electro pop -

•

And then jump right in to whatever we call this - goth grunge house?  My wife will love it.

•

iTunes tells me this just came out but YouTube says it's a year old.  I'll allow it - just a really nice meld of western and eastern melodies.

•

I admit I do not listen to a lot of non-russian pop, but this found it's way into my library this week.  Maybe it's not really pop.  Maybe it's actually Russian?

•

Just kidding about only listening to Russian pop.  I also like French pop.

•

...and of course French-Senagalese Pop Hip Hop. I think this is also a few months old but, also allowed -

•

Billy Nomates.  I love Bily Nomates -

•

I understand a few of you are boomers.  So you may like Paul McCartney?  I've heard of him - he was with Wings, right?

•

Finally, to make up for those two maybe older songs, here's one (don't call it techno, it's not techno) that got released literally two hours ago.  Fresh!

Well, Mr. Snowball - that is music I would never have heard - but for your Friday follies. Interesting stuff for certain. 

Here is an artist I haven't seen mentioned here -. 

Double cheeseburger for me. I get one once a quarter.

We saw Lyle Lovett at a George Strait concert in Las Vegas a couple years ago.  He’s eccentric but good.

Keith “I’m Bloody 167 Years Old, Beat That If You Can, Wankers” Richards did a solo album years ago, when he was only 135, and I love this song. Keef is not known for his, uh, vocalist skills, but IMHO he does a good job on this one. 

[Moonlight Mile]

In case you missed it. Cover song that does the original more than justice. 

[Moonlight Mile]

Joe Perry was supposedly super annoyed that Tyler did this album. I like this song. Sorry not sorry, Joe.  Heh. Apologies for hogging the thread but I blame a former career as a rock DJ on it. Pfft.

On the day I retired, this song replayed over and over in my mind for several hours. 🙂

No worries.  You're not hogging the thread.

It's raining here. Watching the swirling winds. At least it's filling the cistern. We're nice and dry on the deck, undercover.

From my childhood. I hear this song in my head, when it rains.

 

[Overland]

Check it out, otters, I got some new dancin shoes yesterday.

So let's not waste time, and get outside to do a little happy dance around our Ollies - it's New Music Friday!

•

Whew, that was fun.  I hope no one hurt anything.  Let's settle it down with something that sounds like a remake.  You guys will know better than me - it's got a very 70's/80's rock ballad jibe.

•

This is an easy summertime song from Lebanese singer/songwriter/guitarist Roger Fakhr -

•

I know some of you are wondering why classic rock guitar is currently being preserved in the deserts of Northern Africa.  The answer is because these guys know their strings - 

•

My wife did like the Louisahhh song from last week, in case you were wondering.  I'm certain that you all did, too; so here's another.  Louisahhh is angry.

•

And no NMF is complete without some of my floaty electronica. Is floaty a genre?  Sure, why not -

•

No, I can't leave you with just one.  This one is a bit more experimental, at least on the lyrics side -

•

And finally, something calming to get everyone into a chill vibe for a spring weekend -

Love the shoes, Overland. And, thanks for the music.

This one's not "brand new." From Norway's supergroup, Keiino, a mix of European, joiking, and rap. In Sami. Even if you don't love the song (which I do), you'll probably enjoy the scenery. The scenes filmed on Slogen (around 5,000 ft.) required a 7 hour hike, carrying gear, and an overnight stay in a cabin. 

 

[Moonlight Mile]

I just LOVE this. And have watched it a few too many times.

They are just having a helluva time and Joe is the MAN. My work here is done. (And there was much rejoicing throughout the land.)

This reminded me of a Sami album I had years ago and it took a bit of archeology to recover the name from my memory, and a song from it on the internet - 

Still strikes me how similar it is to Native American music.

Of course, you also reminded me of the Will Ferrel Eurovision movie, which yes was dumb, but surprisingly better than it should have been -

Enjoy watching and listening to Videos at "Norman's Rare Guitars".

More guitar, and other stringy things -

Some of the best guitarists in the industry (at least IMHO) have more than a little fun with the Game of Thrones theme song. If you haven’t seen this, you owe it to yourself to see it for the musicianship. If you play guitar at all, you will be blown into a wormhole and never return. See you there. (Yes I play. But not “quite” at this level, LOL). 

It starts around 2:00 if you want to skip the quick “how ya wanna do this?” chat, but I always watch the whole thing.

 

Scott Ian (Anthrax) never does a solo (and he certainly could). Modest, down-to-earth and happy to be the foundation. Cool dude. Tom Morello has such a distinctive style. Well yeah they all do. This is GREAT FUN.

Interesting to see Brad Paisley in there....

YES! And many of my “way better than I will ever be” pro guitarist friends say he is actually the best in it. If such a thing can even be said at this level. 

[Mike and Carol]

Most folks think he’s just a country boy that sings about muddy trucks but I’ve seen him really wail on his paisley Fender.

Underestimate or pigeonhole any of these guys at your peril!

Around these parts Brad is well known as a master of the guitar. There is an interesting video with Joe B interviewing Brad. They talk guitars and such.....
