LadyCrimson Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Hubby's back is worse again so kinda tough there. My niece is nearing hospice territory. It also crossed my mind that my sister will be 70 before too long. Buncha other "mortality" reminders this week. I saw this, and thought "what a maudlin, kinda boring song," but by the time it ended I was bawling (both the sentiment and that the Beatles music was a big part of my kid life because of siblings - I remember where I was when the news of Lennon's death aired).

xzar_monty Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 There was a time when music was not everywhere, albums were expensive and we were rather young, so we were quite limited in what we could hear or listen to. During this time, there was a period when I could only hear Def Leppard's superb Pyromania album at a friend's place. That time may not have lasted more than one summer, but since we were rather young, that time is still strongly fixed in my memory. So whenever I hear this track, I remember the rooms at my friend's place, I remember how we played cards and listened to Pyromania, among other things. I think this song is still brilliant. The extended middle section is particularly great. The 1980s were bad in many respects, but when it comes to melodic rock music that is more complex than it sounds (just pay attention to how cleverly Def Leppard switches keys), the 1980s were marvelous. 1

I agree with you about '80s rock music, and also Def Leppard specifically. But for me the '80s were awesome across the board generally. I was class of '86 in high school and class of '89 in college, so that was quintissentially my decade.

Somewhat similar... class of '85 in high school, but started a bit later in university. The 80's were my teen/early twenties years. A good decade to enjoy music 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

He still likes synth pop but he also likes Kool Moe Dee videos a lot apparently. am having appreciation for you son's kool moe dee trend. more than once on this board am having linked a kool moe dee tune. however... am sensing possible danger if he memorizes lyrics and then shares with mom, step-mom, or practically any woman with a pulse. 'course it's been almost five days since you posted, so is likely he has already found something new. perhaps a slow transition to funk? HA!

Gromnir Posted November 15, 2023 Posted November 15, 2023 shady' son synth pop and kool moe dee appreciation made us a bit nostalgic for the 80s, so am offering two more. am admitting we first heard this is the day via the empire records soundtrack which were released 95, so kinda a cheat. and what we like to imagine is a @ShadySands biographical, after leaving the marines, our protagonist did intelligence gathering for nsa/cia in eastern europe? am admitting some envy o' the red suit and bow/string tie wardrobe selection o' the singer in the 'bove vid, although unless we sudden start working for the devil contracting for souls am not sure when or where we might have occasion to wear such. am aware o' the falco original release, but we prefer song and video from after the fire, although the falco video is worth watching at least once. ... ok, am realizing is a 70s tune, but had to post if for no other reason than leland sklar (bass).

I can't put my finger on exactly why, but that video for some reason made me think of OMD. Maybe it's a similar vibe? Similar...ish sound? Meh, for some reason, it just triggered memories of the latter band. Falco... I guess I remember the time period better than the artist I suppose. He did do quite a few hits back then... Der Commissar, Rock me Amadeus, Jeanny etc. One of his last songs (I liked the word play, which does need a bit of knowledge of the language to understand the play on the word "koks", meaning both coke - fuel for heating and cocaine and "kohle" meaning both coal and money depending on context) Some Australian rock/pop band doing a show in some European country (it's not even part of the EU) 2 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

xzar_monty Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 Listening to a lot of Wagner once again. His overtures tend to be superb, just incredibly good. Sometimes it even feels like a bit of a letdown when the story and the singing begin.
Agiel Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 Evidently I only have one gear: 1 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
