One of my favorites. It was very significant for the time.
Here are some silly songs:
Just listen to the many songs on this websiteâŚmy Favorite 2 are âPepsi is for Swingersâ and âWhen A Man Loves A Chickenâ

Here is a remake of a song which I like the original but this guy added some video arcade sounds to it. Unfortunately, it is very much over-driven and distorted.

Suddenly I find myself listening to abba songs covered in hindi and I am so confused⌠I need context @Dolnor and I canât find it anywhere on that website!
Heres a song from one of our better local independant artists who really should be showered with world renown. If you ever find yourself in Ireland you should check to see if sheâs playing any of the pubs or bars that week
This is a spoken word piece about, what on the surface appears to be, a tale of a lost dead soul and their newfound objectum sexualis.
Oh, I loved her then/I love her still/
I will love her Yesterday as I did Tomorrow and the day after the week before
Her album is freely available in the usual places (spotify etc etc) and it covers themes of emigration, separation, depression, death and a littany of mental health issues (she studied and worked in psychology/as a psychologist)
This last one breaks me every time I hear it so press play if youâre made of metal or are actually looking for a good cry. I still canât tell if itâs about a relationship ended by distance due to emigration or if by death.
Happy New Year, babe/
Thereâs days I still wake and assume/
Youâre just in the Bathroom/
And itâs Calm/
And Itâs fine.
I love their songs about the Wheel of Times books
I hadnât even noticed they had several⌠only the obvious one. But then again, I only ever read the first book. Considering that Blind Guardian are not too on the nose with their references, I guess I would have no way of knowing.
The second one is Ride into Obsession
The obvious one would be Wheel of Time
And listening to the lyrics both are fairly obvious
Recently, Iâve re-fallen-in-love with radio.garden website. It presents a map of the world (using Google Earth mapping) showing various sizes of âgreen dots.â Each dot represents a Live-streaming Radio Station. The larger dots have more radio stations grouped together. The largest ones have PAGES (sometimes up to 12 pages) each listing 8 radio stations.
Granted, a lot of the radio stations broadcast English-language typical music genres. But you can find radio stations that broadcast music in their own languages and styles. Whilst I donât understand the languages, their music styles and performances are fantastic! -)
The website is radio.garden
Iâve talked to the local âQuickie-Martâ (7-11, Stop&Go, etc.) convenience stores that employ people from around the world. Theyâve been listening to music theyâve brought from their own countries on digital forms. Once I tell them about this site, where they can hear music from their own world-wide regions and sometimes from the radio stations they used to listen toâŚtheir eyes show unbelieving. Returning 2 weeks later and I get many thanks and free food/drinks! Cha-Ching! -)

The hurdy-gurdy post and other strange instruments lead my youtube suggestions to diddley bows.
So, I made one for my bro. Conclusion, he loved it and I can make one, but still can not play one string, let alone 4 or more. :eye roll: So, I wont be playing anything. Maybe, I can get him to play something.
I wrote the above sometime ago and forgot to post, argh. I think I was going to add a picture.
Came to post these guys, nice for when I need to mellow out at work.
I like a lot of different kinds of music-from classic rock, to miscellaneous music 40âs (thanks to my grandparents) through today, Transiberian Orchestra for Christmas, soundtrack scores, Jim Croce, Alice Cooper, Ides of March, Beatles, AC/DC, songs written & produced by Jim SteinmanâŚHerb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass and instrumental surf music (thanks to my stepdad). Not big into country or super hard stuff. Depends on mood, occasion. I do love good instrumentals.
With an half Atlas Station in it!
Huh⌠This song reminds me a lot of the music clips by bad lip reading, stylistically, tonally, right down to the at times random seeming lyrics:
(just posting one, but you should check them all out⌠theyâre really good musically, and also completely hilarious)
I can listen to anything once or twice a day but if I had to play the radio all day in the background Iâd pick a classic rock station. It really depends on the day and mood but thatâs usually my catch-all, go-to style of music but I like pretty much anything up-beat.
Hereâs one of my favoritesâŚ
And hereâs one of my guilty pleasures just for the lyrics!
