I thought that it would be fun to create a Music thread..

Is there any song or album that you particularly like? This can be a new release, a 'recent decent', or a classic that you have only recently unearthed, or have forgotten, and now can't get out of your head??

I thought that as just about everything is on youtube somewhere, we could use that as a link so that other people could hear what we might be babbling about!

I can kick things off with a separate posting :)


This is a music thread to cover any general things that people wish to discuss..

For example, if you play music and wish to mention it, post something here!

Or if there's something on TV or the Radio, or perhaps a gig that people should catch, then, again, post it here.. :)


There is a separate suggestions category if you have any ideas about new music threads that should be created...

I MUST get familair with you tube and post links here too. do you have to subscribe or anything? Perhaps you can help, I am crap at links and stuff. sometimes they crash my PC too :angry:

SB, no need to subscribe, but it is addictive!! I think that you just input what you are looking for into the search engine and see what comes up. Then when you find what you want, just highlight the web address that is showing, go to 'edit', select 'copy', then select where you want it to be pasted. If it's on CC then just go into your message.. You can always preview it and click on the link before posting it, just to see if it works..

I've been getting carried away on youtubve this evening :) fouund a few really peculiar ones, such as Leonard nimoy singing about Bilbo Baggins!! :yikes: They even have Lee Hazlewood clips too, that i've never seen before.. we used to dance to 'Jackson' at indie discos...

Great story re: George. Some guys just need that certain song to get them going!! :lol: And good story re: your sis.. yip, agreed re: influences on all fronts!

oops.. meant go to youtube.com

then there is a search field 'Search For' at the top of the page.. input something into there.. it is quite unforgiving about spelling btw, so need to be precise (unless someone uploading the clip has mis-spelled it too!)

YOu can register on youtube, and then save favourites btw, but it is optional

Thanks. :) I will have a go but I have dleiberately avoided you tube as I can see the addiction potential. especially as there is so much choice and it takes 3 mins on average to watch a vid on there. I can se emyslef beign there all bloody day! roflmao I ahev not heard the songs you mention - Nimoy sings? I say! :blink: :yikes: I she worse than Kojak aka Telly Savalis? He was bad. :( Yeah on th esubject of Geaorge, when I met him he di dnto knwo half th emusic I listen to and now he has downloaded most of it on hsi I-Pod! I hear him driving up and I knwo ti is him cos it is my songs! roflmao Like when we were at the pub waiting we new i twas him as we could here Squeeze "Pulling Muscles from a Shell" and no one plays that generally do they? LOVE Squeeze, I cant; get their Greatest its Off once it is on. Muscles, Black Coffee in Bed and Tempted I love. :D

Squeeze! Yay! Saw an old clip of theirs recently and some friend of mine couldn't believe it when they realised that Jools Holland was in that band! 'What? the TV presenter? :)

So.. a reminder for the CC regulars, and just an overview of this thread for those new to CC..

This is really a thread for you to provide a link to youtube of any particular song that you love, whether old or new, happy or sad, etc. When posting it, please mention the song name and artist against the thread..

Also feel free to write a little about the song if you wish.

It doesn't matter if the song is obscure or famous.. it would be nice to hear about what you like to listen to and (if you wish to tell us) why you like that/ those song(s).. :)

Hopefully if you check out the previous postings then you will get an idea of how to post if you wish to do so :)

This thread will eventually become just a general music thread for sundry things.. once I've cleared it out and have allocated the songs to their rightful sections!


Anyway, I shall use this thread just to let you know that if you are stayig in tonight then Jools Holland has those Red Hot Chillis performing..

And jonathan ross has the Fratellis performing..

Apologies to those who are not from/ in the UK, as it is not so relevant to them.. although actually they will probably be available on youtube over the next few days, so you can still check them out, I would think.. :D

Yay! :yahoo:

I had a busy weekend of music making :D

I went home on saturday to play in my County Music Centre Christmas conert, with just some really fun Christmassy stuff!

Then on Sunday I went back to uni for the Warwick Symphony Orchestra Concert, we played Phillip Glass' Itaipu :wacko:

And some ones which I enjoyed more Rosenkavelier (can't remember composer) Schicksalslied by Brahms I think and Scheherazade by Rimsky Korsakov - all in good fun :D. It went well too!

Just catching up on the goings on in the music forum..

Well SW that sounds liike quite a weekend, a lot of fun! :yahoo:

And good to be so musically talented too :ok: I haved this vague recollection that you play the flute (no doubt amongst other things..) is this right?

"Can you help me discover more music that I'll like?

Those questions often evolved into great conversations. Each friend told us their favorite artists and songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in turn made new suggestions. Everybody started joking that we were now their personal DJs.

We created Pandora so that we can have that same kind of conversation with you."

A website which explores the kind of music you like, it's amazing!

Just heard a classic on the radio this afternoon. "Under Pressure" by Queen. So many categories on here, that I don't know where that one belongs.

Of course, I almost switched the station at first, when I briefly thought it was going to be Vanilla Ice . . . :lol:

Hmm.. duets are an interesting one!

I'd put it in Rock, as Queen are rock

The other option would be 80s pop as David Bowie was much more pop in the 80s, with Let's Dance, China Girl and all that ;)

But I'd say that Rock is a better option :)

As for Vanilla Ice? :yikes: Who indeed knows!! :lol:

How about "One-Hit Blunders" :D

:lol:

I like Ice T's quote about Vanilla Ice: "If he's from 'the street', it must be Sesame Street, as he ain't from a street that I know" roflmao

There are a lot of new albums coming out soon that I'm looking forward to

The View-Hats off to the buskers
Jamie T-Panic Prevention
Cold War Kids-Robber & Cowards
Kasier Chiefs-Yours Truly, Angry Mob
Fall Out Boy-Infinity on high
Just Jack-Overtones
and quite shockingly Mika-Life in cartoon motion

However from what I've heard of Bloc Party's new album it sounds like a major dissappointment, the 4/5 songs that i've heard were either average or rubbish....

klaxons - myths of the near future B)

and Jamie T's new album

The Klaxons album is awesome :ok:

Check out this song:

[tune!]

Had enough of youtube??

Then try this site:

http://www.dailymotion.com/


I've been checking it out this morning.. so far, I actually think that it's better than youtube. There might not be the same range of stuff, but I like the feel of the site.

Anyway, will probably now use this site as well as youtube for music forum postings :)

Out of interest petalp, that site is particularly good for TV series too. I've just found the two series of Spaced on it B)

Thanks Jo! :hug:

I do like this site - not that I needed another one to hoover up yet more of my spare time of course.. :unsure: :lol:

Are there any others that you know about and would recommend btw (this question kind of negates the last comment, I know! :lol:)?

There is actually a website which has links to pretty much every TV series imaginable - which is apparently legal ('cos they are only providing links not actually hosting the content.

TV Links

Thanks again!! :D

Chekcing out dailymotion.. There isn't the 10 minute limit for clips like on youtube.. and interesting to note that a lot of the stuff being uploaded (that I've seen so far, at least) has been uploaded by French posters..

Comme ceci, par exemple ;)

Might anyone around here be a fan of Arcade Fire, by any chance.. or am I the only one!! :yikes: I know that Scotsguy is, but he's on sabbatical, methinks.

Well, their new CD is out tomorrow!! :yahoo:

Can't wait for it..!! :clap: Feedback from advance copies has been very favourable.

Anyway. the CD is called 'Neon Bible'.. And if you get your skates on, there's a limited edition version with I think a bonus CD (I'm not sure about this).. And apparently the vinyl version is meant to be rather cool too... :)

I'll be rushing to the record shop tomorrow, that's for sure :D


Oh.. for fans in the UK there is the bonus of them being on the Culture Show next Saturday too.. :ok: Well, for me at least ;)

Details from their website:

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (DELUXE)
The eagerly anticipated second album from Montreal's Arcade Fire exceeds all expectations. Neon Bible was written, produced, arranged, and performed by the Arcade Fire and recorded throughout 2006 in Quebec, New York, Budapest,and London with recording and engineering help from Markus Dravs (Bjork, Brian Eno) and Scott Colburn (Animal Collective, Sun City Girls). With string and orchestral arrangements by the band's own Owen Pallet (also Final Fantasy) and Regine Chassagne, Neon Bible is full of both half-assed punk rock mistakes and meticulously orchestrated woodwinds. Processed strings and mandolin. Quiet rumbles and loud rumbles. But mostly just eleven songs that the band thinks are really good!

Available in CD, LP, and deluxe CD format! The deluxe CD version is packaged in a paperboard clamshell box with two 32-page flip books designed by Tracy Maurice! LP is double 180-gram audiophile quality with three sides of music and an etching on the fourth side. The LP also includes a coupon for a free MP3 download of Neon Bible.

Can't wait for Biffy Clyro's new album :D

Due to be released on 21st May!!!!

God I LOVE music! roflmao Wish i'd had time to post some stuff!

Well, SB, you know where the forum is.. maybe come here as a break from your helter-skelter party lifestyle sometime?!! :P

Buy Arcade Fire. Go on, go on!! :clap:

And Sarah Nixey.. and Kristin Hersh.. and possibly the Gossip.. and maybe Au Revoir Simone..

... and the tracey Thorn album is meant to be very good too..!

These are all CDs that are out either this week or during the last week or two :)

I'm listening to a lot of Lordi at the moment ..

:yikes: Eurorock???!!!!!! :yikes:

:o ewwwww they were grotesque!

There's a gig by Amy Winehouse on bbc1 right now if of interest to anyone? I think it's on for 45 mins - 1 hour??

:blink:

Mr Pebs went through a stage of putting them on after the Eurovision - last time I let him watch that!

Mr Pebs mentioned that once I was all snuggled up in bed - much as I would have like to have seen it - I couldnt be arsed to get up! Did you watch it Petalp?

I watched the first bit of it Pebs.. and enjoyed what I saw! :D It was some sort of 'BBC Sessions' special or something.

I recorded it all, so will look forward to watching the rest :ok:

I'm gonna miss most of this but just in case anyone is interested in hearing stuff from this great British band:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/events/clash/

Enjoy! :D

The Amy Winehouse BBC1 sessions are being repeated on Friday at 10.00pm on BBC4..

Might be of particular interest to Pebs and SB, maybe?

And Arcade Fire are appearing on a Culture Show session on Friday too... on BBC2 at 11.35pm..

Going to bump this post up in case anyone missed it and might be of interest!! :)
