What Are You Listening To Right Now (Part IV)

[Thelemech]

Overkill  - Killbox 13

[Charger]

Working out to this one today!



Haven't played this one nearly enough!

[Charger]

New track from Seven Spires

That intro! Hotdamn! The verse riff is bit on the boring side but Adrienne's vocals are suberb once again!

[Zzzptm]

The first Ska song:

Found a song by Neil Sedaka from 1960, titled "Stairway to Heaven". Had to play it, like it better than the Zeppelin song by the same name.

[Zzzptm]

Alexander Borodin and Johann Strauss II; chamber music and symphonies from the Russian, waltzes and marches from the Austrian.

Bought this double LP on orange vinyl when it came out back in 1994 from Phantasmagoria Records in Wheaton, Maryland. One of the things I have always missed about living in DC was the music scene and the record stores. So this evening, I'm headed for the bottom, but I'm ridin' the nostalgia train all the way. Apologies to Chris Cornell's lyrics

[Zzzptm]

Hold on... that's a Stax label on the album... what's going on there, did Soundgarden go back in time and do songs written by Isaac Hayes with The Memphis Horns in the background?

[Vyn]

That's the ultra-rare orange vinyl Stax tribute that includes Green Onions as a bonus surprise track!

Actually, it's a Stax record mat with a -clear- orange vinyl Soundgarden disk spinning on top of it. Although the band did do a cover of the Ohio Players' "Fopp", so something from a decade prior to THAT wouldn't be too outlandish of a story

[Zzzptm]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay, it's *clear vinyl*... I thought I had another Kate Middleton photo edit on my hands. Glad there's a reasonable, sound explanation that matches the data and trusted local observers' testimony.


Meanwhile, it's the Groß-Wien Waltz from Strauss II over here. Stanislav Gorkovenko conducting the St. Petersburg Radio & TV Symphony Orchestra.

Pretty sure that's St. Petersburg Russia, not St. Petersburg Florida...

Blaze Bayley - Tears In Rain

[Zzzptm]

Blaze Bayley - Tears In Rain

Me too!

[Vyn]

Solid orange vinyl - Sonny & The Sunsets dishing out some far out funk soul fusion with a decidedly modern feel! And an insert that strikes me as being ridiculously gratuitous, but what do I know. I recall some folks thinking a crucifix floating in a jar of urine was the apex of the then current art scene.

[Zzzptm]

^ Tried that album out just now. *Quirky* be the word for that platter! They are having fun, and that's a good thing.

Myself, I'm going to go head-first into some action rock on Bandcamp once this call is over. I'll try out stuff that's popular, then stuff that's recent, see if there's anything good.

Truth in advertising. What you see on the cover is what you get, two Elvis covers done in a high-energy wall of noise punk style that just drips with peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Gonna have a good day today.
