Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.

Roxy Music attained popular and critical success in the UK, Europe and Australia during the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).[1] The band was highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental, musically sophisticated element of glam, as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many New Wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]

A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.

if i had any sense

i guess i'd fear this

Newsboys-- Born Again.

This week is it my turn to choose songs for the group Musically Challenged. Please go join the group and post your photos inspired by my selections on this thread!

Below are my selections.

----------------------------------------

Some of these songs are highly significant to me, and others are simply songs that I enjoy. They are listed here in no particular order.

Born Again -- Newsboys

Newsboys are by far one of my favorite bands, and this song, the title track of their most recent album, is excellent.

Symphonies -- Dan Black

This song was introduced to me just a week or two ago about a very good friend. I don't typically like this style, but I do like this song.

Hanging by a Moment -- Lifehouse

I've found myself listening to this song more and more lately...several lines really strike a deep chord right now.

Heart Still Beats -- Brave Saint Saturn

I could very easily have posted nothing but Brave Saint Saturn songs for this week. If you have not ever heard of this band, you are missing out.

I do not like most Christian music. The music is often B-quality (if you're lucky) and the lyrics are about half an inch deep. BSS is not like that. They do not shy away from difficult topics--death, pain, apathy, frustration, turning away from God. It's real music for real people who don't spend every minute of their life praising Jesus and feeling blessed. There is certainly an element of praise and blessing in their music, but at times it is almost completely overshadowed by life's daunting situations. It reminds me of some of David's psalms.

Water Music Suite in D/G Major -- Handel

Somebody has probably done this before, but I would be very interested in seeing how some of you interpret music with no lyrics. Handel is my Dad's favorite artist and hearing this music always reminds me of him.

Pepper -- Butthole Surfers

Total, complete nonsense. I'm curious to see what you come up with.

Starlings -- Brave Saint Saturn

My older sister Jessica died when she was two days old. Every time I hear this song I think of her.

"Raise their souls up to the skies--Why must helpless creatures die?"

Young -- Hollywood Undead

I played this song in my 8th grade ESL classes recently and they enjoyed it quite a bit, so I figured I'd include it on the list.

His Cheese Burger -- Mr. Lunt

Mr. Lunt rocks. End of discussion.

'Til I Collapse --Eminem

Song (click on the first song)

Love the chorus.

Weeping -- Josh Groban

I am a huge Josh Groban fan, and this is the song that got me interested in his music.

Ain't No Rest For The Wicked -- Cage the Elephant

This is a very well written song. The music video is also very well done.

Pig -- Weezer

Weezer is awesome. Actually, you can really use any Weezer song you want to and act like it was on the list...they're all good.

Love you -- Jack Ingram

While this is a funny, light-hearted song, I feel it actually contains a deep truth. Love is shown at that moment when you want to scream "F*** YOU!" but instead choose to say "love you."

Turn the Page -- Metallica

There is no way you can post a list like this without including Metallica. Easily one of the most awesome bands ever. And this is one of their best songs. Pure incredibleness. And what better way to end the list than pure incredibleness?

Einstein's down on the beach staring into the sand

Cause everything he believes in is shattered

What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay

We all get burned as:

One more sun comes sliding down the sky

One more shadow leans against the wall

The world begins to disappear

The worst things come from inside here

Einstein On the Beach by Counting Crows

I have been feeling sick for the past few days due to lack of sleep. Donnie texted me today to reschedule our stuff exchange to saturday. eh... I hope i feel half-way decent after a good night's rest to tackle that awkwardness.

I'm actually going to go soak myself in a hot bath and read some new books Nick recommend I read :)

the beach was pretty today. this is one of my favorite places to watch the sunset, North Gulf Access. I went by myself, I needed to learn to be alone and by myself. I have a deep fear of being alone, and not needed. this was a refreshing sunset.

se Davidson Jive by PeterTea

Jesse Davidson sheds skin and bares all on Lizard Boy.

Approaching his writing from a traditional singer-songwriter position, Davidson’s songs have always held an electronic, ambient edge. And recent months have seen him close in on this genre spanning style with the release of his sophomore EP, Lizard Boy. A five track offering which shifts and transcends both musically and lyrically. Still grounded in the narrative lyric that is the domain of the singer-songwriter, the architecture of the songs have an experimental feel in their sparsity and instrumentation.

Full of lingering, wobbling synths and punctuated chords set against vaguely industrial beats, Lizard Boy echoes a similar ambience to outfits like Boards Of Canada. Though the term sometimes applied to those same artists, “IDM” (Intelligent Dance Music) has been criticised as derogatory in the past, taken at face value it feels like a good fit for Davidson’s style. Working with the elements that feed dance music; synths, beats and electronica, the whole exudes a tangible sense of a smart, considered approach in both the writing and the execution.

Opening with the slow groove Laika, the track perfectly introduces the delicate and skilful soundscapes that Davidson proves himself so adept at. A skittering drum beat injects the groove into the dreamy, synth heavy song. Double tracked vocals up the ambience, and diving straight in on this first track, finishes on a blissed out and jazz inspired drum solo. In his own words, Davidson describes the track as “A bloody jam”, and while it certainly has that vibe, it’s possibly the best executed jam I’ve come across recently.

Following track, Darling, dives a little deeper into experimentation. Started with the idea of writing a track entirely around a bass line, Davidson was interested in how “A lack of guitars and keys and other instruments like that could change the composition of a song and create a lot of space for the vocals.” These elements appear later, but judiciously placed as accents rather than key melodies.

One aspect of Davidson’s composition that resonates much more with electronica than folk, is the detached feel within his songs. However Lagoon stands out with a much more affecting sensibility; dipping his vocal deeper on the refrain, the chorus line “I know you’re trying to change too much right now” becomes an accent outside of the ambience. Final track Will You Find Me touches on some of this same emotion, with Davidson describing it as “The cheesy ballad with a big release at the end.”

But he still maintains that he’s “Quite fond of it though, despite its cheesiness and simple structure and what-not.” Cheesy is not exactly the term that comes to mind as a stripped back electric guitar strums through with a subdued, almost grunge-like feel. And the release at the end has more of a blissed out build, with swirling cosmic effects and big beats to usher in an almost psychedelic feel.

Having recorded the EP in London, at Lightship 95 – which bears a striking resemblance to The Boat That Rocked – perhaps the sixties influence permeated Will You Find Me? With it’s cavernous studios inside the boat’s interior, and set on the tidal Thames, there is an ebb and flow to Lizard Boy that echoes the inevitable rise and fall of the studios.

For Jesse Davidson it seems that age dragged in its clever counterpart pretty early on, as Lizard Boy holds a maturity and confidence well beyond his years. You can also catch him at this year’s Falls Festival in Byron Bay.

Just Friends (Sunny)

as performed by Musiq

Girl I know this might seem strange

But let me know if I'm out of order

For stepping to you this way

See I've been watching you for a while

And I just gotta let you know

That I'm really feeling your style

Cause I have to know your name

And leave you with my number

And I hope that you would call me someday

If you want you can give me yours too

And if you don't I ain't mad at'cha

We can still be cool cause

I'm not trying to pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time

We can hook up, hang out, just chill

Damn I'm surprised that you called

Cause the way you walked away

I thought I wasn't gon see you no more

Since you didn't wanna give me your name

I thought that you were iggin' me

And wasn't diggin' me

But anyway what you doing tonight

I'll probably be with my peeps

If it's cool with you maybe we'll swing by

And you can just chill with us

Or you can just chill with me

As long as you're comfortable

And you feel secure when your with me cause

I'm not trying to pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time

We can hook up, hang out, just chill

Oh, oh, baby yeah

Maybe we can oh

Go and see a movie girl

Or maybe we can hang out girl

Whatever you wanna do

Just let me know

It's up to you

I'm not trying to pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time

We can hook up, hang out, just chill

I'm not trying to pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my girlfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time

We can hook up, hang out, just chill

DEDICATIONS: To the coolest modern day hippie I know - who pushed me to show I've been taking my anti-Old Fogey pills. She also has a hell of a photographer's eye. As well as a love of irony evidenced by posting a Hendrix tribute pic shortly after telling me on my Aretha tribute pic that I was stuck in the oldies. And a damn fine taste in music - old AND new....

And to the 21st century - which has brought us TWO wars that are proving as frustrating and long as that other war in the "olden days"; so many reality TV shows that I have more information than I wanted or needed about my fellow humans; the term "wardrobe malfunction";

and some pretty slick tunes.....

Hello Seattle - [ have a listen ]

by Owl City

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer

In the hills and highlands

I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

And awake in your house

Hello Seattle, I am a mantaray

Deep beneath the blue waves

Ill crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound

And construct a summer home

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon

Shining down on your face

I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill

And descend inside of you

Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse

Feeling warm in your sand

I sing about the tide and the ocean surf

Rolling in the evening breeze

Hello Seattle, I am an albatross

On the docks and your boats

I sail above your inlets and interstates

Through the rain and open wind

Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse

Throwing beams of bright lights

Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun

Taken heed from everyone

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer

In the hills and highlands

I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

Take me above your light

Carry me through the night

Hold me secure in flight

Sing me to sleep tonight

Take me above your light

Carry me through the night

Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.

Roxy Music attained popular and critical success in the UK, Europe and Australia during the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).[1] The band was highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental, musically sophisticated element of glam, as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many New Wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.

Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]

A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.

Mike Golay was today's guest and he is profoundly gifted and well studied both a player and a composer. His site (which he has maintained since 1996) is deeper than most and broad in spectrum both musically and otherwise.

Today he performed pieces from his latest recording Across the Bridge all instrumental, all guitar pieces like

Maine Waltz

which is a sample clip, there are many more HERE A page which gives 30 sec clips of the All his tunes my faves are Welcome To Funkstown which is a tune where he and Al Petteway play. Al has been a mentor and teacher so his involvement in the recording of Across The Bridge was a both a thrill and an honor for Mike, but Al's been telling Mike you are doing some incredibly fine playing too, like if I were Mike's teacher listening to him play I'd know he's learnt his lessons well and then some, as evidenced by tthis one smoking collaborative tune.

An impressive artist with two albums out the first being Half Pint also a winner of a recording.

Great to finally connect with Mike Golay here in Portland,

Mariah Carey~Obsessed

I was like, why are you so obsessed with me?

All up in the blogs

Say we met at the bar

When I don’t even know who you are

Say we up in your house

Sayin’ I’m up in your car

But you in LA and I’m out at Jermaine’s

I’m up in the A- you’re so so lame

And no on here even mentions your name

It must be the weed, it must be the E

Cuz you be poppin, hood, you get it poppin’

Ooh boy why you so obsessed with me?

Boy I want to know- lyin’ that you’re sexin me

When everybody knows it’s clear that you’re upset with me

Ohh finally found a girl that you couldn’t impress

Last man on the earth- still couldn’t get this

You’re delusional, you’re delusional

Boy you’re losing your mind

It’s confusin yo, you’re confused you know

Why you wasting your time?

Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex

See right through you like you’re bathin’ in windex

Ooh Ohh Ohh boy why you so obsessed with me?

And all the ladies sing, all the girls sing

Soo Oohhhh Soo Oohh Obsessed

You on your job, you hatin’ hard

Ain’t gon feed you, I'ma’ let you starve

Graspin’ for air I’m ventilation

You out of breath, hope you ain’t waitin

Tellin’ the world how much you miss me

But we never were so why you trippin’

You a mom and pop, I’m a corporation

I’m the press conference, you a conversation

Ooh boy why you so obsessed with me?

Boy I want to know- lyin’ that you’re sexin me

When everybody knows it’s clear that you’re upset with me

Ohh finally found a girl that you couldn’t impress

Last man on the earth- still couldn’t get this

You’re delusional, you’re delusional

Boy you’re losing your mind

It’s confusin yo, you’re confused you know

Why you wasting your time?

Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex

See right through you like you’re bathin’ in windex

Ooh Ohh Ohh boy why you so obsessed with me?

And all the ladies sing, all the girls sing

Soo Oohhhh Soo Oohh Obsessed

My closet. by Gina

If I were musically inclined, I would write an Ode to My Closet. When I’m in my closet, I feel like I’m in a department store. No, I’m not going to show you the inside of my medicine cabinet too. Seriously, though…closet.

Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.

In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.

The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.

They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.

In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.
