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.
Week Twenty One:
Who knew candles could be so flammable. They're only little after all. It's not like from from little things big things grow. Well apart from trees. And children. Oh and rumours too. They things always start small until one day you're the head of an international drugs cartel with mansions in the most delectable locations in South America and I only said I was going to the shop to buy a bottle of coke. Isn't it strange how they take on a life of their own.
Ah but that a bad example of it. Mostly because it's completely and uttlerly and totally fabricated. Yes there is more fabric in that than in the underwear I'll be wearing when I'm 60 and need them big enough to reach all the way up to my chest. Course when I'm 80 they'll be all the way up to my neck. Just think if I make it to 100 I'll have to replace my belt with a headband.
Now I think it's the perfect time to head into the middle of a dream. I've lost my shirt, though I've not pawned my rings but I'm pretty sure I've done some dumb things.

For Musically challenged- the song is by Marjorie Fair - Empty Room. Hadn't heard it before but I love this song!
The photo was taken on the third consecutive attempt to wake up at dawn for photos. My snooze button addiction subsided enough for me to make it to the pond by 7. :) And this was me trying to get my remote working...
Marjorie Fair - Empty Room
I'm so tired of learning to talk
Building fences on the wall
In this state, I shall not remain
I don't want to go, but if I die young
Fill my empty room with the sun
Fill my empty room with the sun
This Doesn't matter like it did before
This doesn't matter much anymore
Change my mind or help me to try
Im afraid and I'm not satisfied
In this state I shall not remain
I don't want to go, but if I die young
Fill my empty room with the sun
Fill my empty room with the sun
This doesn't matter like it did before
This doesn't matter much anymore
This doesn't matter like it did before
This doesn't matter much anymore
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.
For musically talented Barossa Valley local, Sam Brittain, story-telling is exactly that. Since releasing his debut LP ‘Our Shining Skin’ on June 1, 2012, the path to success for the gifted and independent musician has transformed into a never-ending road. First picking up a guitar at the age of three and additionally turning his hand to the piano and drums,
In 2013, Sam is an unstoppable, roots, folk and blues artist, reminiscent of sounds such as Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Ryan Adams. Sam supported close friend and musical influence, Mike Rosenberg (Passenger) at Adelaide-based Fowlers Live, as an integral part of Mike’s ‘All the Little Lights’ album tour, a highlight of Sam’s career to date.
The recording of ‘Our Shining Skin’ saw Sam and his band work endlessly with the talented Barossa-based Jamie Blechynden of Stella Studios and VJ productions. Supported by BJ Barker (drums), Steve Flemming (bass) and Glen Wagland (engineer), tracking the backbone of all 12 songs took a mere two days to complete. ‘Our Shining Skin’ quickly earned impressive reviews and was labelled as a ‘formidable and wide spreading resume’ for Sam (Timber and Steel, August, 2012).
Kicking off an Australian tour, Sam officially released the highly anticipated album at a sold out show on June 9, 2012, held at the Chateau’s acoustically brilliant ‘Long Room’. In June and July 2012, Sam crossed the country, delighting crowds and building his fan base in Melbourne, Hobart, Darwin and Adelaide, including an unforgettable sold out show with Sam’s full band at the prominent Adelaide venue, the Promethean Theatre on September 27, 2012.
Marking the beginning of what’s set to be a milestone year and following a hugely successful first tour, Sam’s lead single ‘Bruises’ hit #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots Chart on New Year’s Eve, 2012/13, where it consolidated its lead for a consecutive four weeks, peaking at #6 in the Overall Top 100.
2013 saw Sam embark on a 16 date tour once again supporting new age folk music legend Mike Rosenberg (Passenger).

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.

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
Love the chorus.
Weeping -- Josh Groban
Song (click on the first song)
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?

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.

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

Hearts of Olden Glory

There's thunder clouds
Round the hometown bay
As I walk out
In the rain
Through the sepia showers
And the photoflood days
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Of life
And though the water's
Black as night
The colours of Scotland
Leave you young inside
There's a vision
Coming soon
Through the faith
That cleans your wound
Hearts of olden glory
Will be renewed
Down the lens
Where the headlands stand
I feel a healing
Through this land
A cross for a people
Like wind through your hands
There must be a place
Under the sun
Where hearts of olden glory
Grow young
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
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.
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.
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
Shell beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Its hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before its too late
Eagles~Desperado
Built in 1908 during the Edwardian heyday of the band movement before the Great War, the Queen Alexandra Bandstand is a beautiful and well maintained example of creative bandstand design. It was named after the then British Queen, wife of Edward VII.
Erected in the central median strip of Ballarat’s premier boulevard, Sturt Street between Doveton and Mair Streets, the Queen Alexandra Bandstand is surrounded by leafy oak trees and other deciduous European exotic trees. It is the second bandstand along Sturt Street, the other being the Titanic Memorial Bandstand. The Queen Alexandra bandstand is built in a polygonal form surmounted by a Moorish or Russian influenced onion dome. The bandstand has particularly fine wrought iron detailing incorporating musical motifs, including harps, horns and Edwardian styled music stands and is an important and exotic element of the streetscape of Sturt Street.
The Queen Alexandra Bandstand it is now one of the few remaining examples of bandstands in Victoria. It serves as a tangible reminder of a highly popular form of entertainment, prominent on the community agenda for many years. The construction of the bandstand and its survival until now also reflects the prominence of music in Ballarat's cultural and civic identity.
"I got my spine, I got my Orange Crush..."
Orange Crush: R.E.M., Green
This song is one of many off of R.E.M.'s Green album, one of the most influential albums musically and lyrically for my life. For the meaning of this and many songs, Stipe himself is rather vague on the true meanings and words of the songs. I read something once that this song was about The Vietnam War and the use of Napalm- then it was also about the actual soda "Orange Crush" and really, the world will probably never know. And that in and of itself is the beauty of music.
What music means to one person, will mean something different to another. What words touch one person's life will do nothing for someone else's world. Lyrically this song did not inspire me... The music of this song is a very driving beat and a driving song.
When I graduated High School my father took me on a camping trip in East Texas. It was so hot and humid that to escape the heat he took me on the back roads and taught me to drive a standard transmission. Once I got the hang of it I went off on my own- playing this song over and over... shifting with the changes in the song, singing with the chorus. It was a potent moment in the relationship between my father and I... a turning point almost- and this song was the "theme song" to that moment.
Lyrics:
Follow me, don't follow me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
Collar me, don't collar me
I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush
We are agents of the free
I've had my fun and now it's time to
Serve your conscience overseas (over me, not over me)
Coming in fast, over me
High on the roof,
Thin the blood,
Another one climbs on the waves tonight,
Comin' in, you're home
We'd circle and we'd circle and we'd circle to stop and consider and
Centered on the pavement stacked up all the trucks jacked up and
Our wheels in slush and orange crush in pocket and all this here county
Hell any county it's just like heaven here and I was remembering and I
Was just in a different county and all then this whirlybird that I
Headed for I had my goggles pulled off I knew it all I knew every back
Road and every truck stop
ALT TITLE: Brokeback Tapper 2: "i wish I knew how to quit you."
Dreamy and The Chicken Defiler: the love story continues... (big. huge.)
yep! still an entry for Musically Challenged!

The Devil in Me," by Kate Voegele (aka Mia Catalano on "One Tree Hill")
Please have mercy
You've unnerved me
So don't break my heart,
I ain't never done nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the devil in me
“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
― Anaïs Nin
