What have you been listening to today? Again….

Due to the ineptitude of KLM and scab actions of P and O I missed my almost annual pilgrimage to watch daniel this year.

[64]

quite possible the vest record ever written, it’s in the top one anyway.Slight exaggeration but great a song from one of the greats of his era

[64]

Saw Sierra a couple of months ago in Newcastle,it was an incredible night helped by a great Geordie audience but,she was amazing

[64]

another greatest song ever

[64]

when I said greatest songest ever I really meant

I was pee-emmed asking about the early work of Sounds Like Reign – I had in mind songs like ‘I’m With Him, Whatever’ and ‘God, Help Us’, which I found too artsy, too intellectual, unlike the epic meditation on intangibility of ‘Is He Worthy?’

You see, in the world in which we live it’s still possible to improve ourselves, and the song instils in the listener the hope that it’s not too late. It’s basically saying that although it’s impossible to empathise with others, we can always empathise with ourselves. It’s an important message. It’s crucial really, and beautifully stated on their album.

But for the avoidance of doubt, this review of SLR’s groundbreaking work was inspired by

Glad you’re appreciating SLR, Gurney. Will dig some more out for you from time to time. Meanwhile I suggest you have a listen to the Dualers clip posted above. It could ease some of that intensity.

Never the wrong time for a bit of Credence 64, thanks for posting.

[64]

Ha yeah,I missed a word out

[Deereyme66]

Love the kick drum sound. Sounds taught and tight but could be my phone speaker. Bass and kick perfectly synchronised.

[64]

Odd band, when a song plays many know it’s lyrics and can sing along but as a band never mentioned in the same breath as the Byrds Beattles stones ETC .quite a few belters too

[Just Iron]

[Iron-awe]

I think it’s more constant success as opposed to a few belters throughout a career 64 that defines the band’s who are mentioned more often,guess that’s how life works.

[64]

A long one but it’s hard to imagine a better band ever being assembled again,allied to superb bbc sound I think its perfect .funny to see camera mixing up Albert’s amazing bends and cutting to the steel

Its perfect

[Gurnelista]

It’s pretty good, 64, and as you saiud, the sound’s well captured at the (now) Radio Theatre. I don’t know why they don’t broadcast more concerts from there.

Just to reprise the theme above about religious music… I was trying to enjoy myself by browsing the Baptist group SLR’s site links, on topics such as ‘Large Family Pantry’, ‘Huge Mansion’ and ‘It’s Baby Time’. Same with the Pentecostalist Rend Collective Alas, it didn’t work. Too much self-satisfaction, promotion and propaganda.

But, for anyone interested in fundamental religious music, let’s not limit ourselves to mere Christian meanderings. Why not try these, for example…

Have to say, Gurney, that you seem a bit ‘triggered’ by some of my contributions. The clue is in the thread title … an invitation to share what you’re listening to … no genre or content specified. Here’s another which may be a touch more palatable:

[Gurnelista]

Well, you seem interested in religious propaganda and songs preaching spiritual pride, but from a rather narrow Christian perspective, so let’s widen the field and see how others do it. The most obvious difference is that there’s a lot less self-promotion involved in music from the other religions, which seem more spiritual, at least.
As for his Bobness’s God-bothering, it seems he’s guilty of black n white thinking if he seriously thinks that the choice is either to serve the devil or the lord! It’s a bit like saying you’re either for or agin’, when many may just be indifferent, like significant swathes of the public who just don’t give a fig about organised religion…

Now I’m waiting for Sir Cliff’s Millennium Prayer to surface!

[Just Iron]

Interesting how some of my choices have triggered such reactions. No response to Bob Seger or The Dualers though so it’s clearly the Christian content that irritates … maybe should be ‘cancelled.’ At least … perhaps unlike at least one poster … I am posting what I genuinely have been listening to as per the invitation.
Anyhow .. how about Godfrey?

[Siderite]

All this talk of triggering and cancelling because some air dislike for something is tedious.

Now you’ve offended me , Sidney.

Apologies to Sidney … a typo… meant ‘Sidey.’
