Ah, those take me back too, @Chook. Love playing Meatloaf up full! Can't stop dancing (or rather my version of dancing) round the room to this at the moment:
You're welcome When I'm feeling a bit grumpy/fed up, I find that a good flinging-around to a Latin/salsa rhythm works a treat!
And the mood this Monday is.... chill. I am listening to actual, yes actual, vinyl. Best to up the bass a little imo. Gregory (Lock up your daughters) Isaacs. Enjoy!
A classical musician here (who does have rock-n-roll roots too). Yesterday my 91 yo mom and I were sitting in the car drinking our Starbux, listening on the radio to stuff from last year’s US Spoleto Festival. A fabulous rendition of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody #2, with an extended improvisatory section as Liszt intended. The pianist solicited tunes from the audience, and managed to work in The Girl From Ipanema, Beethoven 5, and the theme from Rocky. The segue from Ipanema to Beethoven had me gasping with laughter. A good time was had by all!
I stumbled across Devin Townsend over the weekend. Canadian vocalist/guitarist - pretty heavy but do check out "Kingdom"- incredible voice
The last “set” I enjoyed was Madness on BBC on New Years Eve. Suggs didnt even break sweat, coolest man of the night. Moi danced around the sitting room singing along to Baggy Trousers! And “our House” and “Welcome to the House of Fun”. Love it.
