What are you listening to right now (2025-10)

I'm somehow receptive to this Rasta sound...I imagine myself lying on a dream Caribbean beach and the bass sounds reaching me from the distant stage while I explain the starry sky to a local beauty.. .(=˃ᆺ˂=)

[chuft]

I love dancehall. I have fond memories of listening to it on the radio while driving on bridges and islands on the Gulf of Mexico coast

[chuft]

And now for something completely different

[chuft]

And once in a moment
It all comes to you
As soon as you get it
You want something new

[chuft]

I consider this a technically perfect pop song. The guitar solo is short and precise, the final verse has that wonderful synth line added.

[chuft]

Never got tired of listening to this album. RIP Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr.

Duran Duran side project for some members. 1985.

Really interesting video actually

John Taylor makes a guest appearance as, presumably, the Devil showing Nick Rhodes his soul contract.



I haven't envied a lot of people in my life but I think I could swap places with Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes or John Taylor and probably be happy with the life I lived.

Hard to believe this is 40 years old. Never turn down a chance to go dancing, that phase of life will not come again.

I'm getting the distinct impression the cover of Candy O is being censored on youtube
It used to be there. Now I can't even find the original cover with the full album. Except for below.

Now that's a Turntable

Side 1

Side 2

[chuft]

Man such a great album. Forgot how much I liked Night Spots

[chuft]

Lust for Kicks always made me think of one couple I knew in freshman year in college...even at the time lol

[boredjedi]

" little rubber vibration feet" My last turntable as well. Wasn't as fancy as that one though. Can't believe how good that vinyl sounds. Pristine.

[boredjedi]

......that phase of life will not come again.

Everything is....

[boredjedi]

It could have done without the intro. It should have started right off at 0:47. I like the little touches the remix added. "Here come's the twister"

[boredjedi]

Would have been even more clever if it started off at 0:42

[chuft]

I downloaded a whole album of Talking Heads remixes and I don't like any of them.

[boredjedi]

Simply amazing when you think about it



Microscopic level grooves and a needle can make such complex audio
with just vibrating

Dance the Night Away 3:17

This image popped up while searching for something.
Unfortunately, no youtube Red Vinyl music video for it could be found.



So, Synthwave from Buffy The Vampire Slayer video game instead.
For the October Halloween theme.

I think The Cars is the only group I know of since The Beatles where they switched off so much on who did lead vocals.

Remember this, everybody loved this video

[boredjedi]

Of course. It's in one or two of the previous listen to threads.

[boredjedi]

Head spinning, head swapping, body flipping and body folding
Yes planted the seed.

[boredjedi]

That was 1984 same year as The Cars' video. Yes' Leave It music video 1983. I vaguely remember the Yes video being praised a lot for its graphic use.

[boredjedi]

Definitely shows its age though. Way too simple by todays standards but back then....

[chuft]

From everything I have found the Yes videos were released in Feb 1984 and Hyperactive in Jan 1984, but whatever

[Buzz]

How about a bit of musical kitsch?

[chuft]

The heck is that. "No, drive the bus slower. Slower. Yeah like 2 mph."

[boredjedi]

Modern day Von Trapp family singing troupe. Certain times she puts me in mind of a young Jodie Foster.

[chuft]

"Their first major chart hit came in 1980, with the song "Who'll Come With Me (David's Song)", with John Kelly, aged 12, singing the solo"
