What are you listening to?

[castalla]

Joan Armatrading? Surely you mean Roberta Flack or the Fugees?

Oops.

 

[castalla]

You'll likely recall the original (CantonPop cover.)

 

[Maurizio]

Love this two enchanting.....
vinyls on the cover.
NR was a great bandleader.

@Achim1811 Hi mate. It's clear that with the album covers you suggested, you and Castalla decided to drive crazy the poor @Wiimer

 

[Maurizio]

Getting serious, two suggestions for today.
First one

And this one i discovered in Qobuz's new releases of last week. I think it's their first album, but it sounds promising

 

[d6jg]

I do like LMS's Random Albums menu item. It is often my start point for the day.

 

[JamNew]

Today's special is Memphis Soul Stew!

Give me about a half a teacup of bass.
Now I need a pound of fatback drums.
Now give me four tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars.
This goin' taste alright.
Now just a little pinch of organ.
Now give me a half a pint of horn.
Place on the burner and bring to a boil.

Now beat, well!

 

[Wiimer]

Has anyone done my rumors?

I don't know if this is the right place for her.
But Ariana's voice is right in the middle of my strike zone.



She sings like floating in the air without frown once. And she seem to genuinely enjoy this space.

And another great pop singer. I love this video. No matter how many times you watch it, it's fun and gives you goosebumps.

But to be honest, I rarely listen to her albums.


One last person.



She will always be the best singer for me.

Have a good weekend with your favorite music.

In these troubling times, I was reminded of Victor Jarra, a Chilean singer murdered by Pinochet's thugs

 

[castalla]

Missed that album, an essay in todays German Rolling Stone led me. Late but not too late.

??!!???
Sorry - just don't get it/them.

They are described as a R&B group.... This is what I call r&b

 

[castalla]

I'll probably get a pasting but sadly much of today's musical offerings are rubbish - overcommercialised, derivative, repetitive, meaningless, and in the case of drill just plain nasty. Where has the wit and humour, the poetry, the inventiveness & originality gone?

We need a new Udo Lindenberg

 

[castalla]

I sort of agree. It's probably only a matter of time left before AI sweeps all before it and produces a fanfare for the common robot in the style of the Shindellas!

 

[Wiimer]

My DNA came from a copy of my parents' DNA. It is a repetitive thing that continues from the ancestors, and originality does not exist.

I do not deny the values and tastes of others. Even if it's terribly boring and unpleasant for me.

 

[Mr Jinks]

 

[castalla]

You are forgetting about randomness and mutation. .

I'm not denying anybody the opportunity or taste to consume whatever rubbish they want (in so far as this doesn't impact others).

At the end of the day or epoch it'll all just amount to a hill of beans, as my American cousins once would have said - nowadays it's more likely to be 'F**kin' sh*t happens, bro'.

 

[castalla]

Nevermind

 

[Wiimer]

Mutations are said to be caused by replication errors. In other words, it's a bug. The probability that it will give birth to a genius may be close to the probability that my Dachshund will give birth to a Doberman.

But I'm not going to argue with anyone here about the music I love. That's it.

Final words from me before I head off to listen to 101 tracks of Cantonese Pop.

Given that we are aware of and recognise in a general sense the existence of geniuses, I'd posit that the probability is much higher - I don't know of any instances of your specific canine example other than crossbreeds (which isn't your argument in any case), so as it stands the probability of your doggy example is zero.

Here's some music for your dog. Sayonara!

 

[castalla]

Believe or not... This is NOT a parody but the North Korean folk-pop group called Ponchobo

 

[castalla]

Well, here's a toughie... Songs with wit and humour. Here's a starter for 10

And

My wife loved the original by Armatrading, and she liked this version (Kylling med softice og poelser - chicken with soft ice and hotdogs)

Shubidua did a lot of funny Danish versions of international hits. That I didn't know as kid knowing almost only Shubidua.
