Hmm The NYC artsy scene. Acquaintances of yours Fur?

‘Tiil Tuesday was one off my favorite 80′s song.

BigFur,
I guess you and I have a serious difference of opinion about the word ‘hilarious’.

+5

She’s still got it. Aimee’s a hometown girl – I had friends who went to high school with her.

+3

She does have a beautiful voice, I was always a big fan of voices carry. I can remember listening to that song years ago when it first came out.
Damn, I’m getting oild.

+4

old.

hell, old and demented.

@Kairn

Did you watch Voices Carry? Labrador is hilarious because it’s a spoof.

0

I couldn’t get past the necktie. Totally distracting.

+6

FUR, Ain’t it a bitch when you leave yourself A LITTLE VULNERABLE, and out come the knives from your buds. I feel ya. Don’t worry, I’m working on a new playlist for ya, cause that sucked. LOL.

+3

Kairn,

I like people who can laugh at themselves and poke fun at what they once thought was the absolute cutting edge “artistically.”

More “celebrities” should have so much humility. So, yes, on that level it was hilarious.

+6

Well it’s about damn time you showed up young lady! Do you know how worried we were about you? You’re grounded.

+3

Bad Brad,

I’m as secure in the knowledge that my playlist is as superior to yours as you are that yours is superior to mine.

And that’s the way it should be, right?

+4

FUR, Ain’t America great. Used to be.

+2

@Xavier
I watched it them both. I liked that song and video in its day. The remake was only mildly amusing. Not hilarious.

I am teasing BigFur about that Boobs video from a few days ago. Which was quite funny. BigFur didn’t think it was ‘hilarious’.

There in lies our difference of opinion about the meaning of the word hilarious.

But I do think we agree on how to have fun giving and taking innocent ribbings. All in good sport, eh Fur?

Up Yours! -bfh

I love “Pavlov’s Bell.” And, FYI: Aimee sang it on an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

BTW, My embarrassing music addiction is that Celtic Women stuff on PBS. My wife’s 100% Irish and she throttles me about it. What can I say, I dig it.

@Bad Brad
Now that is a pathetic admission. Did you have a thing for that River Dance stuff too? What’s his name? Flatfoot? Flatbutt? Or some such thing.

+4

Kairn, LOL, I draw the line at The River Dance Stuff. Although I will admit we saw them perform. But after a while how many time can you tap your toes. Can you imagine what those peoples feet look like.

+4

YOKO ONO!!!??? Please tell us that’s a mistake or a joke.

Wayne Newton??? My grandma loved Wayne Newton.

+4

Abba, Barry Manilow. It’s worse then I thought. However Weezer makes up for those two poor choices. Gin Blossoms, my current all time favorite. I can listen to them all nite.

+3

Nope, Not a mistake. She sang a song with Porcupine Tree.
It’s a pretty good track, even with her crappy singing.

FUR, reading your play list check out Marshal Tucker. Great Band.

@Bad Brad
My husband really likes Neil Young too. I think he is kind of meh.

Hubby said just now, “Well, at least I have one thing in common with Bad Brad.”

0

I don’t care what his reputation is, Weekend in New England is a great song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRWMixC5jpQ

John Gorka.

I absolutely love John Gorka. Have all of his albums. Saw him perform live once. The most unheralded lyricist in America.

+1

Fur,
Kate Bush. Okay now I really want to hug you!!

+1

I have Dancing Queen in the playlist. It’s a well written song.
Proof?
Redd Kross – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HooLy5lDw-Y

Lots of what I listen to is because I think the song should be redone by someone else.

0

Kairn, Niel Young’s “Old Man” has more relevance every day. NOT Good. I’ve seen him a couple times. He put on one heck of a show. You can get a contact high at any of his concerts from old men in business suites.

+1

Ya, I can find a few songs that I can listen to by Marshal Tucker.
“Can’t you see” is a bit too long. So is another really good song by them,” I should have never started loving you.”

I actually like the sappy song, Heard it in a Love Song.

0

Kate Bush’s debut album is one of the better debut albums. It’s just recorded badly.

The Man with the Child in His Eyes is a masterpiece.

+2

Ah Shit, Marty Robbins, Streets Of Laredo, Truck Only. CD hidden.

+2

Now to be fair to me, I posted the entire list. You guys are taking potshots at songs, or artists, that are not among my favorites.

Kairn,
If you like good poignant lyrics and nice acoustic stuff like Gorka, try this out, from the old Men At Work front man, Colin Hay,
This song is beautiful:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5J-DtKldpE

No Pink Floyd?

PF is blocked from Spotify, as is Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and some others. I don’t care. I hear them elsewhere. -bfh

+1

And if you like that one. Try this -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4tcRlHY-3Q

+1

Jim Reeves, Ed Ames, Michael Holliday, the Everly Brothers

+1

Heard It In A Love Song is an awesome mixture of southern blues and C and W. I saw these guy with Poco Loco, and the head liner Willie Nelson. Willie sucked, the other two bands were awesome.

Outlaws, best band I’ve ever seen. Green Grass and High Tides. Kind a red neck, but damn musically they were awesome.

0

Kairn, I imagine your hubby and I have a lot more in common then Niel Young or you wouldn’t be posting here. I’m sure he’s an awesome guy.

+1

Bozz Scaggs.

Saw him perform live many years ago in Tahoe. Now that was a great performance. I heard that he supposedly made it his mission to make every live performance as good as what came out of the recording studio. He proved it that night.

0

Poco’s cool. But if we’re going for the one word, two short syllables I prefer Lobo.

+1

Went hopping from your links Fur (thanks!) and landed on this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l08l33kaJDQ.

More songs for my private play list. The days are too long.

Leonard Cohen, hmmm? My, my. Saw him live in London once.

0

BB,
Ya, that is my favorite Balin song.
He should have written faster his entire career.
Met him, and his father. (His Dad goes to every show, and he looks EXACTLY LIKE HIM, only real old.)
Both nice guys.

+1

Thanks for the links Fur.

He’s good, but he still isn’t my Gorka. In this musical genre, I gave my heart to Gorka years ago. I might occasionally sample others, but I always come back to my Gorka.

Leonard Cohen is Miss Pamela’s favorite living performer.
I think Sarah Vaughn is her all-time favorite.

I wish I knew now, some of the “nice girls” I shyed away from back in the day. We went to all those concerts and I was always waiting for “ethyl” to smooth the ride. Turns out, I coudda been a contender all along …

Kairn,
I’m From New Jersey is a cool song.

That’s probably my fav Cohen song. A Thousand Kisses Deep.

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.

0

BigFur,
That’s why we didn’t worry too much about the folks in New Jersey dealing with hurricane Sandy. Because Gorka says that if the world ended today the Joyseyites would ‘adjust’.

0

That’s a good live performance by Cohen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=FR&v=RLq7Aqd_H7g&hl=fr

It’s true that all the men you knew were dealers
who said they were through with dealing
Every time you gave them shelter.
I know that kind of man
It’s hard to hold the hand of anyone
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
you find he did not leave you very much
not even laughter
Like any dealer he was watching for the card
that is so high and wild
he’ll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger.

BigFurHat, can you imagine having that much talent? Balin was incredible. I’m sure you know this but, Jefferson Airplane started out as Hot Shit at the Filmore,Changed their name to Hot Tuna so they could record. Then the Airplane. Grace did have some nice titties, I know, I’m a pig.

@BigFurHat: For the next round of get to know your “neighbors” at iowntheworld instead of questions it should be list your playlist. I think that would be interesting…..but hey who the hell am I?
Gonna do it tomorrow. -bfh

You JUST gave me an idea!!!!! Genius. I will call it the Pearls. Name after you. – bfh

@Bad Brad
Thank you for the Boz Scaggs link. It has truly been a long time since I have heard his music.

As for Neil Young, I just can’t be convinced to appreciate his immense talent and fantastic vocal skills (snort). He’s been around and I’ve been around a long time. We’ve tried to find a middle ground over the years. But alas, we had to admit we’ll never be compatible.

@Kairn

Try this Neil Young song, Harvest Moon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVi0UvFu8Yo

Beautiful!!

FUR. Thoroughly enjoyed this. You can learn a lot from musical preference. Always respected you, even more now. Hope the Balin thing didn’t push me over the edge. Not to many know.

Kairn, BFH, Gee thanks for the highlight (link) to John Gorka. Very nice.
He reminds me of my pal from Tucson, Michael Dues, who was a good singer and songwriter and brought that spiritual lift you can get sometimes get around a campfire, a living room or a small cafe. Always nice to know someone is singing or writing a story that was very close to the one you went through in life.

FUR, 8 years ago exactly, I was sitting at Kemo’s in Maui at sunset listening to a pretty good band doing this song watching the wind blow the mist off the top of the waves towards us thinking it doesn’t get any better then this. It didn’t.

Dammit, Pearl Clutcher, the idea won’t work.
You know why? Because progtards would abuse it and probably get us in trouble.
I was going to make an iOTW commenting community youtube playlist.
I would publish the password and you guys could add to the playlist and then I could post the link on Sundays.
But progtards would fart on our birthday cake and mess the playlist up and possibly upload illegal content.

@Brad
Oh yeah, of course I’m familiar with the Yard Birds. Herman’s Hermits too.

When you first heard the Yard Birds could you have ever imagined a day where you would be using some crazy electronic device that would let you go to a thing called YouTube to find an almost endless library of your favorite music and share those selections with people you have never seen who live way far away from you on a Saturday night?

I sure didn’t, way back when. I sure have enjoyed going down memory lane tonight with all the wonderful music selections you and others have shared tonight.
