misswonderly3 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Everybody outta listen to Sweet Jane once in a while. A song that never fails to make me feel good. Don't even know why. This is the slighty longer version, the one Lou Reed originally intended as the "main" one for the album "Loaded". Somehow the middle part got edited out. Apparently Lou was not happy about that. I do like this slightly extended version a little better. "Heavenly wine and roses..." Turn it way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From "Loaded", if you consider "Sweet Jane" a better song than "Rock and Roll", I am quite, ahem, upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 From "Loaded", if you consider "Sweet Jane" a better song than "Rock and Roll", I am quite, ahem, upset. They're all so good. It's one of those albums where just about every track is fantastic. "Rock and Roll" is too. To me there's no "either /or" , they're both really great songs.

DownGoesFrazier Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Of course, the Smiths is the band that had Morrissey up front. He left the band soon after this 1986 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Here's a track from the storied Toronto group Downchild Blues Band's 1980 album 'We Deliver'. It features a rare turn at vocal from tragic Jane Vasey, who played piano for the group for about 8 years. She didn't sing much and her voice was not bluesy, but it sure was cute.

Renee234 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Ricky Martin's 'Livin La Vida Loca' tops the list. Followed closely by Shakira's 'Waka Wak'a (I seem to have a thing for football songs). And also Backstreet Boys and Westlife are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm having an argument with a friend. Would you consider U2, in the '80s, to be a "new wave" band, or a straight rock band? I say the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their early sound has been described as post-punk (a more adventurous, larger variation on punk with the anger more densely expressed). Post-punk is what would eventually morph into alternative pop/rock. Fundamentally an alternative rock band, their grandiose, driving, expansive sound would also come to be described as both arena rock and college rock.

misswonderly3 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I would add to that, the guys in U2 were better musicians than most new-wave bands. Much. (Not to diss new wave or punk, both of which I like.) db, I saw "Downchild Blues Band" live once, at a university bash.I remember they played "Flip Flop Fly". Height of summer, time to laze to this. Just don't let the taxman take all your dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Wow, Char, that's what I call real high energy. You could do a cardio-intensive workout to this, no problem. One of my absolute favourite albums of all time is Rain Dogs, by the great and inimitable Tom Waits. It does that thing I love, takes me to another world. Here's two of the best from a record where every track is fantastic. 9th and Hennepin: Bonus for us movie-lovers- this vid is like a mini-film noir.

misswonderly3 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I don't know, but he might have. I understand he and Tom Waits are pals. (Makes sense.) Actually, the video I posted for "9th and Hennepin" is not an "official" /"original" video, some clever person did that -clearly they "got" the sound poem or whatever you want to call it. But "Downtown Trains" has a Jarmusch look to it, so maybe. (I like the crabby old guy at the beginning - "Oh, no, every time it's a full moon he sings all night. I can't stand it!" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casablanca100views Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thank you, 9th and Hennepin was very good, an address I remember in Minneapolis. Used to be the location of the Minnesota Theater, then a less than reputable establishment after that.
