What are you grooving on today?

Ruby ~ Kaiser chiefs

You can't allways get what you want - Stones

(no pun intended btw)

The Jam ~ Going underground

Am I the only one playing?

Red hot chili peppers ~ Breaking the girl

six underground - sneaker pimps

Currently listening to the charlatans.

quite apt for gordo on budget day!!

I haven't listened to them in ages. I'll have to blow the dust of them now you've reminded me.

Foo fighters ~ Skin and bones

candy - cameo

In the car today: Lambchop on the way to work, Sparklehorse on the way home.

I really am a miserable sod!

Six underground and Candy, I listened to both those tunes the other day - good stuff!

Anyone listening to Arcade Fire - have just discovered - MONSTROUS!

I'd better check them out.

Noisettes ~ Scratch your name (cool new band from london)

Bloc party ~ Helicopter

Is this thread a dead duck or what? I take it there's not many music lovers on housepricecrash.co.uk?

My life (well 50% of it after I've looked after my wife and 3 kids first) is devoted to music. You can't think about religion, money and politics all the time....can you? I bloody can't!

I'm having another one today:

Killers ~ Bones.

I love this tune.

This thread is well placed in the off-topic forum, it gives some relief to the conspiracy theories and end of the world threads which it is placed alongside!

Love the Killers - fantastic melodies

btw, today i am mostly listening to Thomas Newman - Road to Perdition Soundtrack

I will keep reviving this thread i think because it can definitely hold it's own with the conspiracy threads abound in the off-topic forum (ps if you can't talk about music here where on hpc can you!?!)

Anyway, good music will allways hold it's own.

When it comes to music, good lyrics are my raison d'être; that's not to say I don't like classical or instrumentals, but lyrics can add the meat to the bones so to speak, give the music a voice! (OK bear with me, but would you rather I was talking about the end of the world / religion / racism etc., so you will have to excuse me this indulgence).

Where to start! I will pick one song and post the lyrics that I think are just great and please feel to do the same: well Matthew, tonights song is going to be How Do You Sleep by the Stone Roses.

Now let's get one thing straight here - the Stone Roses are a truly great band, ok they couldn't quite cut it live (I saw them in 89 at Alexandra Palace and in 95 in Liverpool) but on vinyl they were the best thing that happened since the Smiths.

I could have picked something from the debut album for my indulgence but I'm going to pick HDYS from Second Coming because a) it's a great song derrrr and b ) second coming is seriously underated.

I always think these lyrics reflect the bands (squire really) attitude to the tory party at the time especially with regard to the homeless etc - now I could be way off wicket here but if you think different, I would be interested on your take.

Anyway here's the lyrics and I will leave it to someone else to post next, thereby ensuring that I am not endlessly reviving a dead duck!

__________________________

I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead
All dressed up dinner, looked so fine
Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
With the finest military quick lime

Now try and picture this, as I gave you a kiss
The apple in your mouth slipped in mine
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade
We laughed as we put away your wine

So raise your glasses, here's a toast to wasted lives
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
And tell you how they died

How do you sleep?
How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes, and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean any more when the angel of death comes knock, knocking
And banging at your door?

When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder
Took you home, away from it all
Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed
Tastefully hung up on my wall
Are my dreams your nightmares? I hope they all come true
Get off your knees, the party's over
I'm coming home to you

How do you sleep?
How do you last the night and keep the dogs at bay?
How do you feel when you close your eyes, and try and drift away?
Does it feel any better now?
Does it mean any more when the angel of death comes knock, knocking
And banging at your door, at your door?

get a load of this - quality or what?

I've got an Unkle album somewhere PP. Cheers for sharing.

Kaiser chiefs ~ The angry mob

bump for this worthwhile thread.

True Blue - Bright Eyes. should really get outside and enjoy the weather while its still free.

Wish you were here - Pink Floyd

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here

having a melancholy day today

Good thread chaps

The View - Wasted little DJ's

Morrissey.

Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

....no not the track....just listening to his depressive lyrics makes me miserable.

Maximo park ~ Apply some pressure

Pearl Jam ~ Hail, hail

love that tune.

Today's tune was there is a light that never goes out - smiths.

I'm hoping to find something a little more upbeat tomorrow.

You like Pearl Jam, Daiking? Respect.

And in return .. The Smiths ~ Oscillate wildly. Instrumental but one of Johnny Marr's greatest pieces of work IMO

lights going out and a kick in the balls

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O-pjgdVH4g...ted&search=

Our band do that in our setlist, PP. In fact most of our jamming sessions end up in us sounding like a Jam cover band.

The Smiths ~ Headmaster ritual

Lamb of God

Now you've got something to die for

(it's about Iraq and it sends chills down my spine)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njGppxBBb7E


Now You've Got Something To Die For

Infidel, Imperial
Lust for blood, a blind crusade
Apocalyptic, we count the days.

Bombs to set the people free, blood to feed the dollar tree
Flags for coffins on the screen
OIL for the machine

Army of liberation, gunpoint indoctrination
The fires of sedition
Fulfill the prophecy

Send the childrean to the fire, sons and daugthers stack the pyre
Stoke the flame of the empire, live to lie another day
Face of hypocrisy, raping democracy
Apocalyptic, we count the days.

We'll never get out of this hole until we've dug our own grave
And dragged the rest down with us, the burning home of the brave

Burn.

fookin classic in anyones book

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone


dunno about scatman though

heres one for all London madchester boys out there:

Flowered up - Weekender (in 2 parts)

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VMAHtOuZtnc

quality song, quality video, you can take that franking machine and all that other rubbish I have to do go about with and shove em right up your arsse

edit - 10 extra points for the film that's from

Smiths How Soon Is Now, yep- a Cracker of a song, especially the ending lyrics.

I liked Scatman because of the fun beat. (BTW, That song was done as fun by a 52 year old who suffered from a stammer condition, so i have admiration for him for that)

AC/DC classic
