I just bought the whole album because I love every single song of it.

Saw Billy Joel this last week, and for the first time since the Stormfront tour. At 65 he still puts on an absolutely amazing show. Was one of the best concerts I'd seen in a very long time. Pretty sure I'm going to be swinging down the MSG to catch another one of his shows later this year. Might even see if I can get my ass out to Bonaroo this year, where he's headlining.

 

Here's two of my faves:

I feel really down, need to listen to uplifting tunes. 

 

Same, last night was super down time for unknown reasons. Giant mistakes come back to haunt at the worst times. 

 

 

Heh, one thing I never fail to find is reasons for feeling down, I have a list to choose from that has a lot in common with a laser beam in vacuum:  a beginning, no end and looking at it burns your eyes.   ;) Anyway, get better!

Hey, hey guys. You all know The Final Countdown, right? You know, that massive 80s glam hit with the silly synths? Well, of course you do.

 

Now then, how many of you have completely written Europe off as a joke band, a worthless relic of a bygone era, because of that one stupid overplayed-to-death song?

Well, if you have, then let me re-educate you:

 

Europe made a comeback in 2004 and have released five albums since. But not to try and rehash their old glory days, ohhh no. They pretty much rebooted their sound. They started off with some pretty modern sounding hard rock (and very good at that), and have gradually heaped on some more bluesy sounds, 1970s influences and general oldtimey groove as they've gone on.

 

This all culminates on their latest release, titled War of Kings. The band has turned the retro dials all up to eleven, the album is just pure 1970s hard rock bliss. And more importantly, it is a staggeringly, astoundingly good album. I'm talking "right up there with Deep Purple and early Rainbow" good. Yes, really.

 

If you like any kind of heavy rock music at all, especially of the oldtimey variety, you owe it to yourself to forget everything you know about 1980s Europe and give this album a spin.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

You gotta make sure you have 'www.youtube.com/watch......' link for the video to show. the 'youtu.be' links will just show up as regular links as yours does.

 

Basically, don't use the link that appears when you click on the 'share' button, use the page url as it appears in your browser.

 

Here's your video:

That's incorrect. It's the httpthat it's taking offense to as I said earlier, not the shortened link. :)

(edit) Oh, cool, I just noticed this is Postmodern Jukebox, too. :p

I have completely forgotten about this MANLY song, and 'lo and behold my smile as it appeared on my playlist.

 

SPLIT YOUR LONG WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER

WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE

BREAK YOUR BACKS AND CRACK YOUR OARS MEN

IF YOU WISH TO PREVAIL

 

THIS IVORY LEG IS WHAT PROPELS ME

HARPOONS THRUST INTO THE SKY

AIM DIRECTLY FOR HIS CROOKED BROW

AND LOOK HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE

 

WHITE WHALE - HOLY GRAIL

 

 

Thankfully PoE is out tomorrow, my sudden bloodlust needs to be satisfied with some killing of....computer generated characters.

The best movie! Featuring Original Badass Kirk Douglas.

 

 

sacrilege!  oh, sure, who can't love a time-traveling aircraft carrier with kirk douglas in command, but original bad ass kirk douglas is either spartacus from spartacus, einar from the vikings, or jonathan shields from the bad and the beautiful, if only 'cause bad is in the title, and he weren't that pretty even when he were young.

 

 

HA! Good Fun! 

 

ps am thinking guys like cagney and bogart  and edward g. robinson might get some votes for earlier movie bad assery.

Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forests and fields in which you walk. Immerse yourself in the outdoors experience. It will cleanse your soul and make you a better person.----Fred Bear
