What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

[MetaBob]

Linda Ronstadt:
Simple Dreams (40th Anniversary Edition)
Heart Like a Wheel (2013 Remaster)

... which led to replaying my own playlist of covers of Lowell George's Willin' (including the Little Feat original) yet again.

Linda Ronstadt's version features Bob Warford playing the world's second B-bender on what should've been the great Clarence White's lead guitar, though Bob did just fine. By that time, Clarence had been killed by a drunk driver.

So many lyrics (and stories) to cite, so little time.

[MetaBob]

Wild Mountain Thyme

My favorite version is from The Silencers:

Keltic Electric also does a nice version, as did Emily Blunt in the sweet, romantic film of the same name:

It's a traditional song, sometimes titled (Will Ye) Go Lassie Go, but contemporary versions seem to take their cue from The Byrds.

Have been discovering great comedy albums lately. Really have enjoyed Redd Foxx. Didn't realize how good a comedian he was before Sanford and Son.

 

[Lady2020]

One. Johnny Cash.

 

[Blind_Justice]

"Foregone (Part 2)" might be the best In Flames song I've heard in thr past twenty years... which says a lot about how fucking abysmal their stuff has been.

Our home studio has been hit by a power surge and despite all power strips having surge protection, we lost the audio interface, the monitors and our Arp Odysseay clone - gear totalling almost a thousand bucks. The synth thankfully still has warranty, so we might get it repaired, but the rest is toast and had to be replaced. Dani and I have turned that anger and terror into a new song, the demo of which is doing rounds in my headphones while I try to figure out why the drums are not tight enough. Probably some latency issue between the new interface and my drum machine.

Two new songs my lady love and I have made.

Arrival is a Vangelis tribute and
Adrift is another completely anachronistic piece of music stuck somewhere between the late '70s and early '90s

 

[JaxRhapsody]

I've been enjoying Anthony Vincents cover of Running Up That Hill.
