What 🎶music are you listening to at this moment?

[Olorgando]

A version of "House Of The Rising Sun" by German-speaking's best (meaning textually most vicious) band "Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung" (EAV).
They're Austrian (I believe specifically Viennese). They drip serious vocal acid on the usual suspects from politics and "economy".
Compared to the Cologne-dialect-singing band I posted above (BAP) they sing high German.
But no band has skewered what went wrong with German "reunification" after 03 October 1990 more rightly savagely.
My worst offence today. Never was understanding text more important … 🥵

Ich bin auch Deutsch!

More shamelessly posted Kpop:

This time, a couple of covers by Spica:

And Spica S:

Even missing Kim Boa, those vocal harmonies give me chills.

 

[Aldarion]

Medieval stuff, what else?

Has some uncomfortably, not to say scarily contemporary echoes. Not a time I would like to back to in the least. 🤮

 

[Olorgando]

Certainly not "easy listening" - but definitely interesting, if a bit unconventional stuff.

Unfortunately (for some), it reminds me of their "name cousins", Mahogany Rush, fronted by virtuoso guitarist Frank Marino.
Anyone trawling here more that just occasionally should know by now, that I'm a guitar nut … so you are amply warned!
Mahogany Rush Live, "Johnny Be Good". Of course. Written by the true King of Rock 'n' Roll, Chuck Berry (Elvis is a useful crown prince …)

 

[Olorgando]

OK, if you folks know a homepage for guitar nuts who have zero personal talent on the instrument - please tell me!
Meanwhile ...
I'll torture you with an instrumental by another guitar virtuoso, Frank Zappa (and some guy named Jack Bruce doodling on the bass guitar …), album title song "apostrophe".

Unfortunately my Spanish is limited to a few phrases that I picked up during several vacations to Spain (10 in total, in fact, from 1975 to 2011). My high school Latin helped a bit.

Note: I'm going to miss all of those accent thingies that have driven me nuts in the Romance languages as long as I have tried to learn them ...

donde esta - we drove around the places / regions we visited a lot, so asking for directions was crucial
es abierto, se tiene, neccesito - for shopping
a que hora - places like museums aren't open 24/7
quanta (mostly costa) - also for shopping (this would be mostly souveniers)
the days of the week, and numbers … 🤔

A little unledding of the head....

Maybe I'm as thick as a brick...

That Tull concert was in Tampa Florida, but it was a few days later when he played in Seattle Coliseum on a hot humid summer night of 1976 (rare for Seattle).
The aftershow was crazy around the International Fountain. Hats off to the girl who climbed into the middle of the fountain and stripped and made statuesque poses. And I laugh at the drunk guy who tried to climb up there and he slips and busts his balls on one of the fountain nozzles. I went to the concert with my girlfriend, and I woke up the next morning in bed with a girl I didn't know at an old house near Green Lake. Ahhh the heady daze of one's youth.

Plant getting some „outside help“ on the high notes; and Page going the “double-neck guitar” one better with a mandolin addition! He and McLaughlin were the main proponents of the double-neck (6 and 12-string) monsters back in the 1970s that I remember. Sitting down while playing his trinity monster (those multi-neck things are heavy; not something any guitarist would like around his neck for a 2-hour concert, or even a shorter one!)

And Rock's Herbie Mann. I have "Stand Up" and "Too Old …" as bookends to their stroke of genius, "Aqualung". But as the mid-1970s-to-early-1980s period was my main "Purple / Sabbath / Zeppelin" phase, "Thick ..." did not find favor with me ...

Hah! well, thaat Ian Gandalf avatar you have does have a bit of an aqualung essence to it.


Got a cool mashup going now....

Ian Anderson. Ian McKellen …
Though the picture of Aqualung on the front cover of the LP does have rather more of a fiendish Saruman touch to it … 😯
