You are welcome SQF; glad you enjoyed it. The interweb can be a wonderous place
And thanks for the Porcupine Tree links; not a band I had ever heard of.

Very cool

Not the same, but made me think back to Quintessence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj-DUDkbusc

Today's blast from the past - Medicine Head with Pictures In The Sky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lTgNwmGVKc

True story, here.

When I get really stressed I tend to re-watch my old, comfortable shows where I don't have to think too much, and since life is really lemony at the moment, I started to re-watch Buffy. In Buffy the local club always features a band, and the cool thing about that is that those were real bands. One of them is rather striking for its originality and coolness, very avant-garde.

Last night I was watching this band play and for the first time noticed the face of the bass player. He looked...familiar.

No way, I said to myself. But then I decided to consult with Mr. Google, and sure enough, it is Sean Lennon.

This is the piece. Not to everyone's' taste, but rather cool, and Mr. Lennon is a fine bass player.

As you say, rather cool hagatha: made me think off a band called Trees whose album On The Shore I had many years ago on vinyl

Enya and Loreena McKennitt drew from that same well. Lovely music.

Classic Rock, and podcasts, such as My Favorite Murder, The Murder Squad, Criminal..to name a few.

By the way, welcome to Gameboomers, pkstracy!!

pkstracy, I'm mostly a classic rock person, myself. But I've been forcing myself out of my music bubble lately. There's some good stuff on this thread.

pkstracy, when do you do your listening to the podcasts? It sounds as if they are the sort of thing to which you have to listen quite carefully rather than as background

Afterthought: are you also a watcher of crime TV programmes? If so the Mare of Easton thread may be of interest to you (as it was somewhat hijacked by mention of other programmes)

RIP, Charlie.

Read this today... made me very sad.

Fantastic how Charlie remained respected at the heart of the business while apparently still leading a relatively normal home life - RIP and thanks for the great music!

Charlie was really an anomaly in the Stones. He always seemed to sit back a bit and watch the goings-on with detached amusement.

Speaking of detached amusement, this video here is a classic example of his ability in this regard. Check out 1:42, among other moments.

There are some funny comments in the comments section, too.

"Rest in peace to the most tolerant drummer in history."

I had forgotten that video clip Marian but it really does say it all.

My personal favorite in the comments, "Mick, Keith & Ronnie: having a blast;
Charlie: they may be idiots but they're my idiots;
Bill: why am I here?"

A vintage performance and some reminiscences:

Brilliant clip, Marian. That really says it all.

I can still remember every word to almost every one of the songs from their late 60's and early 70's albums. Funny, how music gets into your head that way and stays. If math had had a tune and a drumbeat I might have done much better at it.

No reggae or ska on here yet: who is into that?

I like reggae. I mean, who doesn't like Bob Marley?


Oh wait, here's someone who doesn't like reggae. Or does he love it?

Not a huge fan but who couldn't like No Woman No Cry
I have also always liked this

Not exactly reggae -- maybe you'd call it "reggae-adjacent" ---but this has always been my favourite version of this song:

Love that 10cc video hagatha!

How about reggae style (bleggae) Hendix? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSHBgGtxdYU

Lex, I love some of 10 CC's stuff. They were one of the best bands-that--wasn't-really-a-band, with its ever-changing roster. They were innovative and their music covered many genres, and well, too.

That reggae-Hendrix cover is pretty cool! Who' d a thunk it?
