continuing my journey into Radiohead, I've been listening to this lately:



click on that, and it'll take you to a song I like.

"El Condor Pasa" instra by Spirit of The Incas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Fv5EQwfOE

I really like Simon & Garfunkel's version, beautiful vocals, arrangements (with that balalaika start) & ofc melody. But the Incas has ethnic flavor, very interesting.

Del Shannon "Red Rubber Ball" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLWXBVvCQ1s

This song's been covered by many - from The Seekers to Cilla Black to Neil Diamond & even Simon & Garf did it live acoustic. But what's good about Del's version is that the cool catchy drum pattern from the original is intact. 3D

I listened to the song "Touch" by Daft Punk (off of Random Access Memories) last night, and I had a great time.

Thanks. Needed to hear that again  Love

Reminded me a little bit of this - a past/current obsession

I recall poster "hypehat" was huge Spiritualized fan. So, I downloaded songs he linked to - & what do you think, wild neon sins? - I didn't like any! Not fan of Elvis either. The best rock'n'roll singer to me is & was Little Richard. I don't buy into "Elvis= king of rock'n'roll" cliche.

I listened to it & didn't like. I read he was versatile; could sing blues, soul etc. but I don't hear it.

Tom Petty "Feel a whole lot better": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSgdqwlb8M0

Didn't listen to other covers hence posting it here. What's sure is the Byrds did it waaay worse. Not their fan.

Psychic TV "Godstar" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu8NdrSnwZw

I hear it as "goat star", there's technicolor clip with goat moving about, as well as 60s footage with Brian Jones & Rolling Stones - the song's subject.

Not exactly obsessing, but I have this high, vaguely middle-eastern sounding guitar line in my head and I don't know where it's from.

If it's in A minor (just for convenience's sake) it's roughly as follows (lower case = upward shift, CAP = downward shift): 

a_______  G# a b c B___ A G# a________

It's say it's late '70s, early '80s.  The name Mink DeVille originally came to mind, probably for no good reason.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Hi, John. Have you used search-by-music websites before? This is the one I use: http://www.midomi.com. Of course, you need a microphone to use it. Soundhound is the corresponding smartphone app and is the one I prefer, although Shazam seems to be more popular.

Well, while I'm posting here anyway, here's a song I've been enjoying lately (along with the rest of the album):

Thanks a lot for the info, Mari. I'll see what my digitally challenged brain (and musically challenged voice) can do with it.

Great Dave Davies song there...

3 kids sing song I didn't hear before by "Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes". They end at 3:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_wzgFylamg

Really like the melody. I gather it's Bill Medley from The Righteous Bros.? Anyhoo, I think the best in the trio is the girl. At 10 she's got such voice, wow.

Obsessing over is a strong word. I don't think I've had any sort of obsession for quite a while, which is super weird for me and it's sort of freaking me out.

But... here are some songs I certainly have been enjoying. There could be an untapped obsession (or a rekindling of one) in any of these:

"Moonlight on the River" - Mac Demarco.
A 7-minute long song from boring old Mac? Yeah, he changes things up on this album just a tiny bit, and this song best exemplifies it. (Sorry there's no Youtube link.)

"Holiday" - Vampire Weekend.
This is one of their most popular singles, but I didn't really realize what it was about until recently (something about the US invading Iraq and a girl going vegetarian because of war). Also, there's a Dr. Strangelove and a font size reference all wrapped up in a few silly lyrics. I need new music from them, and soon, because I love this sh*t.

"Every Little Thing" - The Beatles.
Again, not obsessing over this song, but I've never considered myself to be a huge Beatles fan. I started listening to Beatles for Sale a bit more recently, and there are some nice tunes on there. It's been kinda fun to look through the Survivor thread for that album. I don't think I have the knowledge to participate in any of them, but I look forward to maybe reading them more in the future.

"PRIDE." - Kendrick Lamar.
I've also been listening to this album a lot, and I like this track the best so far.

Well, it is quite humorous to picture you singing and humming as you click and scroll through SmileySmile. Tongue

I can't really pick a song—I'll have to be more attentive to song titles when listening—but this band, Felt, is my new favorite thing. Incredibly hard to purchase their releases, which is a goddam shame. I'll have to discuss them more in the '80s thread.

Unrelated, but our roommate's cat has ousted my Macbook off my lap and is currently purring so much I can feel vibrations throughout my body.

Hi Mari. I'd never heard of Felt but I'm checking them out now...

Forever Breathes the Lonely Word (1986) is touted as their masterpiece:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZErC-4gnY8g

Sounds great so far. Ignite the Seven Cannons (1985) looks interesting too...

"Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)" by Looking Glas, mainly due to its brilliant use in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol.2. Been stuck in my head ever since.
