Sorry for going mainstream here.

While everyone has been going crazy for her, and while I do recognize she has some vocal talents and gift, I have been quite neutral about Lady Gaga for all this time, but her latest albums drop has some good stuff that I honestly cannot ignore.

Most particularly for me this bonus track at the end takes the cake and is, to me, by far the best, one of her best work:

So simple yet so effective, easily turned to 11:

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Operation Ivy - Unity

 

[Sonygamer455]

Willie Nelson - Roll Me Up.

 

[UKMikey]

LaBelle's 1974 album Nightbirds

 

[TexRex]

The Ides of March - Vehicle

Me: That Steely Dan band isn't too bad
Youtube algorithm:

A crime.

Right? An hour, sure. 90 minutes tops.

The Ides of March - Vehicle

Happy March 15. This song is too good to play only once a year. Even so, I couldn't listen to anything for four hours straight unless I had the short term memory of a goldfish, but the 41'39" of the Ides' debut album should be a breeze if it's all this funky.

A crime.

Go! Ice! Skaters!

Godammit... hit send twice

Blondie- "Tide Is High"

Have you guys heard of this woman!?

Have you guys heard of this soundtrack before?

Earth Wind And Fire- "Boogie Wonderland"

 

[GTboyz]

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Bright Eyes - Gold Mine Gutted

 

[TexRex]

Aww, man. Jesse Colin Young passed. Running out of those that did Woodstock.

The Youngbloods - Get Together


The Youngbloods - Darkness, Darkness


I know a bunch have covered that second one but a couple versions I enjoy are those by Screaming Trees and Mott The Hoople, the latter being my preference out of the lot.

Screaming Trees - Darkness, Darkness


Mott The Hoople - Darkness, Darkness

Enjoying this semi pre-Brix album (she sings on two of the tracks) a lot more than I expected to. It's pretty easy on the ear (for a given value of "easy on the ear").

 

[05XR8]

This band, man...


Edit: Of course I just open YouTube and what’s right smack in the middle of my feed…

I've never heard anything by Canada's greatest singer-songwriter (if Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen weren't a thing) Gordon Lightfoot. Time to remedy that. Sounds a bit basic so far but it's pleasant enough.

[EDIT] Halfway through the first of the albums and I take it back. I like this track.

No The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?

No The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald?

No. Not listening to broadcast radio means it's difficult to hear songs by accident.

O, Canada...

Triumph - Lay It On The Line (Just A Game, 1979)


Rush - Natural Science (Permanent Waves, 1980)


April Wine - Sign Of The Gypsy Queen (The Nature Of The Beast, 1981)

Edit: Sittin' here hitting play over and over on that first one. God damn, Rik Emmett is an absolute virtuoso. To the guitar what Neil Peart is to drums.

 

[UKMikey]

Adult Net - Take Me

 

[Chris30]

Have you guys heard of this song? It's a peaceful one... for if you are in the forest.

 

[FPV MIC]

The Subways - Rock & Roll Queen

 

[MetalApe]

 

[NAXEHT]

Rose Gray — Wet & Wild (2024)

Finally got around to 1982's Hex Enduction Hour (which is suitably just over sixty minutes in length) in my Fall listening marathon. The casual use of the n-word in the first track kind of blindsided me but the album is catchy enough and I can see why it tops most fans' best-of lists unlike I can with This Nation's Saving Grace (on which I only liked three tracks and the associated singles).

I would've preferred to have had some warning first though. Every music critic I read on the album except The Quietus's John Doran completely glossed over the issue as if it didn't exist. I'm more disappointed than offended though because it makes it hard to recommend this otherwise fairly solid long player to others.
