🎶 The Official TTF Music Thread! 🎶

A band I came across just today. Basically, Croatian Sabaton:

Fair warning: I'll be posting this one, when it comes out at the end of the month:

In the meantime, a reprise by all the girls:

[Halasían]

Keeping to Warren Zevon, his most well known and popular, always remember, "his hair was perfect..."

Love Warren!

 

[Miguel]

I love this song.

OK, it's Hwasa Time!
I don't see a full mv for Nobody Else yet, but she just dropped this one from the album:

Translation in the comments section.

Almost 6 million views already?! *

Hwasasa! 🦁

And the same use of ambiguous and enigmatic imagery as in last year's "Twit":

* Edit: Went up to 6 and a half million overnight.

I’ve dug up a co-ed duet from the thread “What music are you listening to at this moment?” that EA has put to rest due to reaching size issues. Besides the fact that it’s one of my favorite songs anyway, I also noticed that besides the participants I had identified back in mid-November 2019 there are two non-trivial ones that I missed the first time around. The occasion was a Prince’s Trust live concert in 1986. I had identified Tina T. and Eric C. easily, as they shared lead vocals (and the latter did lead guitar, and the song was from his 1986 album “August” anyway, even then a duet with Tina). I’d also noticed (a bit more difficult) Mark K. as the second lead guitarist. And Phil C., who also was producer on “August”, was one of two drummers. Late in the video, I later recognized the “second” drummer: one Ginger B. Not a “second drummer” even to Phil C. in my book! And then the then relatively long-haired youngster on piano: Elton J. ...

The term “supergroup” suddenly takes on a whole new meaning.
The ballad fans should duck under blankets / cushions …

Ginger Baker. the greatest drummer. Right next to Charlie Watts!

I can't clean you out of my veins
It's a life long addiction
That has damaged my brain"

Remembering what was lost 49 years ago....

What a poet! Rest in Peace Jim.

The creator of the Rolling Stones faded away to black. Rest in Peace Brian.

Brian Jones. the coolest mf to exist. Love the Doors too.

Love that brand of bluesy rock stuff.

Brian Jones. Basically founding member of the by now famous / infamous "Club 27" in 1969. "Followed" in 1970 by Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Jim Morrison "followed" in 1971. Four giants. The "new membership" since then that I would rate even remotely in that class might be Kurt Cobain (iffy) and Amy Winehouse (less iffy). In the suggestion list of online articles offered by my browser MS Edge, due to a very recent update apparently Edge Chromium, there was one about "27 famous members of the Club 27". Eh ... I don't think I've ever heard of the 21 fillers to the above-mentioned 6 (or 4+2) to reach a total of 27. And in the late deaths, the term "Fentanyl" cropped up with frightening regularity ...
And btw, this is a classical case of "search, and you will find". Reputable statisticians will find clubs across all of the twenties by age (and some other decades, too). Bermuda Triangle BS territory.

 

[Halasían]

I always think of Robert Johnson as the founding member of the 27 Club (1911-1938)

And Kurt and Amy are not "iffy" in my book. Thay are full-fleged members.

There are tons of reasons that a guitar genius like Robert Johnson was ignored in his time. Elmore James, too.
Not a single one of them a good reason ...

Love Warren!

I'm a huge WZ fan too. He's one of my dad's favs. Here's another I think you'll enjoy...

We may not listen to WZ often, but when we do, so do our neighbors

Yes! And of course you know I'll Sleep When I'm Dead...

Awesome song! As of late, I sleep a lot and feel dead...heehee

I grew up listening to all these old tunes. Zevon was so great but underrated...he never reached the heights of another great, his contemporary, Jackson Brown. WarrenZ gone too soon.

Jackson Browne ... I wore out my Running on Empty LP back in the day! I first heard of him when KZAM 92-5 FM in Seattle played These Days. Guys in school used to give me shit for some of my musical preferences, like Jackson Browne, New Riders of the Purle Sage, Doc & Merle Watson, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Alice Cooper, etc. that didn't fit into the 'Rock' genre stereotype of the day.

This is so much like a short film, maybe it should be in the Watching thread.

Lyrics can be found in the Comments section.

Edit, August 21: I'm coming back here after a month, though I may be underscoring the obvious, but non-Kpop fans are probably unaware of the amount of hatred Hwasa receives from netizens: for her looks, for her dark skin, for her support for LGBTQ causes, for anything they can think of.

Her message is clear enough: you can withstand the "slings and arrows" from others; the only "arrow" that can really wound you, is the one you aim at yourself.
