Turn Up the Music

Home Alone.....

Monday, December 4, 2006 by Lantec | Discussion: Community

Here's the situation...my wife and son are out for a couple hours and I have the house to myself and I'm not expecting company or phone calls.

For me this means turning on some music and making the windows shake....
for me it's usually The Crystal Method, Vegas and/or Weapons of Mass Distortion....


The QUESTION...what do YOU put on when it's just you????

Have to agree with Starkers...anything heavily guitar oriented (or bass oriented), for me it's Joe Satriani, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Pink Floyd, even my own compositions   and the list goes on....

Shoot, twice in one thread!

Me thinks I'm gunna have to get serious a little more often. Seems all my tomfoolery and tongue in cheek insanity has done my credibility little good on the richter scale of agreement.

Thing is, I think it's all the insanity that's keeping me sane...er, well sort of. Yeah, I know I've got my critics out there with straight jackets in hand & a padded cell awaiting my arrival - but really, I'm not that far gone....honestly.

In the words of insanely brilliant Joe Walsh: "Lucky I'm still sane after all I've been through." ...but then, when I look at how much I enjoy music, how I can totally immerse myself in it when things aren't so good, "life's been good to me - so faaaar!"

Isn't music truly wonderful! It's universal, there's no borders or boundaries, and it's so comprehensive there'll always be rich tapestry of sounds there to appeal to every musical taste.

BTW MM....saw your message on MSN messenger but haven't been able to reply or chat on line cos it closes within seconds of opening....same with Hotmail. Put in an error report to MS, hopefully they'll come up with a fix soon, cos everything I've tried has been to no avail. Even my ISP's email service had been a bit dicky - received okay, but 9 times outta 10 we'd get an undeliverable message when trying to send. Seems to be back to normal now, so if I can get around to it later I'll pop one down the pipe for ya..

Would IF I were to make post here for each and EVERY song in my collection....not to mention all the ones I like/haven't got YET

Thing is, Im just not that cruel. I know how so very proud you are of that thread (the sheer length) so I'll refrain from that despicably dastardly deed and add one or two of 'em to yers as well.

For me well I like Lee Kernaghan and any other Country music


You have no idea just how thankful/grateful/relieved I am 'it's just you' when you put that crud on....'ere and yer wouldn' wanna be pittin' that stuff on n' defiling my hi.fi equipment, neither...that's wot I got ya that ol' wind up phonograph for.

Dunno if this is gonna alienate those who agreed with me earlier, but I also like to listen to Sherrie Austin (knew her dad in Sydney Oz); Shania Twain; Dolly Parton; Bobbie Eakes; The Stevens Sisters; Gretchen Wilson; Macy Gray; Cyndi Lauper; Deborah Cole; Annie Piper; Alannah Myles; Stevie Nicks; Bonnie Raitt; Cher; Destiny's Child; Donna Summer; Etta James; Gloria Estefan; Janis Joplin; Jewel; Joss Stone; Kate Meehan; LeAnn Rimes; Marcia Hines; Mariah Carey; Martina McBride; Meredith Brookes; Minnie Ripperton; Renee Geyer; The Corrs; The Cranberries; The Pointer Sisters; The Three Degrees; Toni Childs; Tracy Chapman; Vonda Shepard; Fiona Boyes; Sheryl Crowe; Anastacia and Aussie songstress Cosima.

Notice they're all female? Was never game to admit I liked female music before cos all me 'former' mates reckoned women should be barefoot, pregnant and stay out of rock n' roll, but these days I don't give a hoot...they're all great and I'm not ashamed to admit it, 'cept fer Britney SPEARS, sorta get a sharp stabbing feeling listening to her.

I tried to turn really up Maiden's new album...48 year-olders sure know how to rock!

No, Jafo no! CoF butchered that song. Iron Maiden did it right the first time.


And then they recorded it on the BBC Session to show how it's done right!

Okay, so they're not strictly all female! The Cranberries are male with a female lead vocalist, and the Corrs also have their brother included in the group, and I'm sure all the others also have male musicians included, but essentially the lead vocalists/front persons are female....and great!

Dolly Parton?


Yes, jebro, Dolly Parton, really! Saw her in 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' and got really hooked on her voice after hearing her sing "I Will Always Love You"......

And I don't give a stuff if folk happen to call me a nancy boy, flamin' sook or a big girl's blouse cos it brought a tear to me eye. Music for me isn't just about the sound, it's also about the raw emotion and feelings put into a song, the story it tells and how it makes me feel. Guess that's why I love the Blues so much....and even a sad wailing guitar will evoke emotion in me cos it's not just the musician or the instrument, but the inner emotion it's played with.

Oh, and BTW, jebro, that 100% is NOT Dolly Parton in the pic....that I can guarantee cos there's far more of Dolly Parton than what'd fit into a pic that size. Besides, I recognise that bikini top and I'm wondering how the heck ya got a hold of one me n' tha missus' beachside holiday snaps.
