What Music Are You Listening to Right Now? Part II

Currently I'm listening to this

Iron Fist - Motorhead

Lately, I find myself listening to a Billboard year-end playlist for specific years on YouTube.

Most recently it was 1978.

It can be interesting to see videos for early 1970s songs which I never knew had videos. Videos where the artists lip-synched to the actual recording of the song.

For example, I listened to the 1974 Billboard list and there was a "video" for "Oh, What a Night (December 1963)" which was the group sitting in a studio setting just lip-synching to the song. Early MTV-style stuff.

R2 That was interesting - found Meatloaf "Two out of Three Aint Bad"

That brings back some memories

Bumped for others that might want to participate

Black Label Society - "The Blessed Hellride"

The Bridge by Small Black

I'm no an Oingo Boingo trip

XTC - Skylarking

Been listening to rockabilly/punk Dan Sartain. Also Orville Peck.

This big queen.

Love this song

A favorite.

JOON

Malt Shop Hop on Melbourne’s PBSFM

That goddamn Orville Peck. Just wonderful. I mix it up with Ray Price and Hank Thompson. Also, Wanda Jackson’s country catalogue.

This excellent cover. And I'm not a fan of Desi Lovetta or whatever her name is.

Chris Brown “Go Crazy.” I can’t stop listening to it.

Shooter Jennings "Busted in Baylor County" , son of Waylon Jennings

I'm rediscovering 70s folk pop that I was only vaguely familiar with like Smokie, Lobo, Pussycat, Suzi Quatro and discovering a lot if other stuff in that vein that really appeal to me. It's a blend if smart yet bubbly to me that I am totally digging.

Fun trashy fact R18 - Waylon’s granddaughter is named ‘Waylynne’

Thanks, I didnt know that R20, and as an aficionado of poor white trash music I really should

More of same

the Beach Boys' "You Still Believe in Me"

Unique voice, look, and sound. Give her a listen.

Chris Brown with Usher again. “Someone New”

Sorry I meant New Flame.

Mario Lanza. Duh.

Juanes has a sexy new cover of Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark.

Hayes Carll - Highway 87

San Holo - you've changed/i've changed.

r16, all of the dogs in my neighborhood started barking and howling.

90s dance club mixes on MixCloud. Best site out there.

The Psychic Live album from Darkside

This rising Kiwi in New Zealand

New anniversary release of George Harrison's legendary "All Things Must Pass."

Colter Wall - The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie

Mahler 9 - Giulini/Chicago Symphony Orchestra

I’ve never heard this ONJ number before, even it’s on that bestselling 1981 album, ‘Physical’.

Feeling the laidback 80s California vibe

New Diana Ross - "If The World Just Danced"

Just found this artist - Mojo Nixon and the Toadliquors

Others he's done include "UFO's Big Rigs and BBQ", Amsterdam Dogshit Blues", "My Free Will Just Aint Willing", "Tie My Pecker To My Leg", "Jesus At McDonalds", "I int Gonna Piss In No Jar" , "Took out the Trash and Never Came Back" and "I Wanna Race Bigfoot Trucks"

He's right up my alley, all class and taste!

I just turned on iTunes shuffle and what came up is Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You," much hated by many on DL, but greatly loved by me, mainly for the memories it brings up.

I had a new job in 1984 at which I had to arrive at 7:00 am. For the first month, a new friend would call me at 5:00 am every morning to make sure I woke up in time. This song was very popular then, and I made a mixtape that was nothing but it and "Smalltown Boy" on repeat, and I would listen to those two songs over and over as I walked to the subway and rode to work.

Thanks and RIP, Sean E.

Fresh afrobeat.

Actually I’m new to the genre and looking or more recommendations, deep cuts included. Hmu!

"Goddamn" by 20 Watt Tombstone (interestingly formerly known as The Goddamns).

Maybe NSFW as kinda sweary, I'm WFH in lockdown so I can play whatever the fuck I like

Dominatrix - The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight

RÜFÜS DU SOL - On My Knees

They are touring in the States right now

My dog washing himself

‘Sweeter then’ by Brit singer Tom Grennan

Nat King Cole and Yves Montand singing Autumn Leaves. I just finished watching the film.

‘Tonight is forever’ by Liza.

This song, written by the Pet Shop Boys, is actually quite dark, or cynical, depending on your POV. But I love the lushly romantic way Liza sings, turning it into something sweet and poignant, minus the bitter bits

Marianne Faithful Kissing Time. One of my all time favourite albums. I forgot and started listening again. Sex with Strangers is my jam.
