Was never a fan of Led Zeppelin live as Jimmy Page tended to be much too casual and loose for my taste, but bloody hell this is good.

I'd be willing to bet that the galloping bassline here was a major inspiration for Steve Harris and Iron Maiden in general.

have mentioned previous how the presence album is a bit o' a departure for led zeppelin and is vast underrated in our estimation. robert plant were not well for presence as he were recovering from a car accident, so the band had to make adjustments and compensate. were not what zeppelin fans had come to expect, but it were technical more sophisticated and arguable represents the best work o' bonham and page. 

HA! Good Fun!

I agree it's underrated. Nobody's Fault But Mine is an excellent song. Like Black Dog, it's one of those where good interplay is essential, as it's stop-start almost all the way. I haven't played Nobody's Fault But Mine but I have played Black Dog, on the drums, on stage, and it's good fun. Also quite hard to get right because of its stop-start nature. Much harder than just listening to it would suggest.

Incidentally, have you seen this? I think it's quite disappointing. Apparently, the first Led Zeppelin album only contains one song that they wrote themselves (Good Times Bad Times). All the rest are at least very heavily influenced by other songs, if not outright plagiarized from original sources.

yeah, we were aware o' the plagiarism accusations. had a university roommate who raged 'bout such frequent... keep in mid our university were late 80s. am thinking such criticisms is justified. 

the thing is, we were introduced to zeppelin via their blues stuff

and 

for a number o' years we viewed zeppelin in the context o' being perhaps the whitest blues cover band evar (although the stones are serious challengers to the title,) so learning their other stuff were no more original perhaps bothered us a bit less than it shoulda'. 

HA! Good Fun!

Been a while since I posted here! But anyhow... If anyone's interested, I made a list with my favorite records of the year so far:

 

am admitted less interested in the list than the welcome news you didn't die o' covid, gang violence, a lightning strike, etc. 

HA! Good Fun!

A bit of film music... an adaptation from The Fifth Element (depending on the day, it's either that or Galaxy Quest that takes the place as my favourite space comedy)

An old Queen Song... nostalgia time ☺️

 

I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew love before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Hey big woman, you made a bad boy out of me
I've been singing with my band
Across the water, across the land
I've seen every blue eyed floozy on the way
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them naughty ladies every time

I love Dimash' take on that song

Also, Space Truckers is without doubt the best space comedy :p

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

I really don't understand Youtubes algorithms... but this one was recommended to me. Not something I would consciously have looked up, but not bad I guess (which worries me) 🤔

Things that played on the radio all day long when Gorth was a teenager. Yes, the synth was strong with that decade (early 80's)...

Last but not least, this guy was the bane of my cassette recorder/player... always missing either the start or the end of the track when trying to record them off the radio 😖

Still better than Scooter.

Scooter was there to remind people that the 80's were irrevocably dead, beyond any hope of resurrection 😝

 

Like the proverbial death knell for music...

Infidel! Seize him!

But if you want some more Scooter, here's one with a shuffle dance music video:

Anyway, but I have something better for you. What could possibly be better than Euro Dance Trash from the 90ies? Indeed, 90ies Euro Dance trash combined with German Schlager music. See this once in a lifetime collaboration of Schlager sensation Andrea Berg and your own favorite Swiss DJ, songwriter and coreographer, DJ Bobo!

💀

No voice to cry suffering.
