    What Are You Listening To?

    A group I should've been following for awhile, Scary Pockets: The standing guitarist, and the Wurlie player (Pomplamoose hubbie and Patreon CEO), are the guys from the "Dead Wax" channel, and the ferocious drummer is Louis Cole, a new discovery for me (his newest is in my car player, and...

    The Vulfpeck Thread

    Another, what, Pedal Steel track from Vulfpeck?? Yup. He's playing a similar "beginner's model" that I did, with three foot pedals and just one knee lever (he bends his leg to his right, just at one "depth" indicating just one lever, unlike up to five that some advanced instruments feature)...

    Totally unexpected. This popped up yesterday! The Carpenters were all over my Jr High/High School years, and I really didn't give them much thought. It wasn't until later in my life that I realized how etherial Karen's vox were, and how good Richard's arrangements are. Superstar...

    From JrHigh to early college, my favorite band was Chicago (and I still bought their 37th album, last year?) And my favorite tune was (I've been) Searchin' So Long; kinda their version of Hey Jude. A fantastic cover.

    What Are You Listening To?

    Dinner, and drinks (lotsa drinks) with Rush. I'd seen this video years ago, forgot about it, and it suddenly appeared on my ewetube feed. Makes me so happy, and so melancholy, at the same time...

    New HVAC

    Very cool, Chuck; I'll have to mess with that today. :thumbsup:

    New HVAC

    >bump!< Was 64˚ in the house this morning, so I finally did a deep-dive into that stupid Lennox S40 thermostat controlling my new heat pump/furnace system. Downloaded another "Owner's Manual" which said the same damn things as the others, but I could only control the A/C temp from the...

    DIY home project

    Found a nice upgrade to your shower curtain, too; SWMBO will be thrilled!

    What Are You Listening To?

    Sorry to keep bouncing this one (musicians only need read further). Saw this jazz pianist's comments about the song, and I learned a few (more) things about chord/key changes. So, so cool!

    Leonid and Friends

    I think I had posted this first video of them doing "In The Stone" elsewhere, not really sure. This "mix" has them doing ITS plus "Fantasy" (I was introduced to EW&F my Jr yr of HS, and have been a rabid fan since). I haven't watched this "mix" after the first two songs, but noted the third...

    What Are You Listening To?

    Wow, where did this come from?!? Very early Genesis (mid-seventies), live; and the video quality is quite good from that period. Good clip also to realize how good a drummer Phil Collins was.

    What Are You Listening To?

    I've never been a Jackson Browne fan. But here's a video of him doing "Doctor My Eyes" with Sklar and a percussionist in (iirc) a "Tiny Desk" setting, during the COVID thing. BUT they've added a bunch of diverse musicians from around the globe, and it suddenly is Magic! Enjoy.

    MotoGP on NBC!

    Agreed. Even back in the "old days" (2005? when I started following the sport) the competitors rode thru their injuries all the time. Today, Bagnaia needed several minutes, plus assistance, just to get off his bike at the end; he then leaned against a corner for quite awhile. He was hurting...

    MotoGP on NBC!

    He's racing right now, on a mix of painkillers and adrenaline. :shocked: EDIT: And podiumed!! :thumbsup:

    What Are You Listening To?

    Back in the '80s there was a synth-pop band that I took a liking to, Swing-Out Sister. The vocalist was very good, and the tracks had a lot of cool chord progressions and unexpected key changes/NOT key changes (the build-up chords suggested a keychange, which never happened, but then later in...

    Concert footage I haven't seen before, a reunion of Squeeze I wasn't aware of. Love it!

    What Are You Listening To?

    It's been 18 years since their last album release, and an almost equally long time since the one before that. But they're here, again, and they sound... like they've always sounded. The chick in the back of a red convertible, riding thru LA, is cool; and the AI-generated "concert" clips of the...

    Leonid and Friends

    Another band that deserves their own thread. They're branching out from just covering Chicago, here's a Blood Sweat & Tears tune that I have in my collection but don't exactly remember. They are (iirc) a mix of Ukrainians and russians, and after checking their link I see they're touring...

    Dead Wax

    I'm changing the title of this thread to the actual title of the channel, which is "Dead Wax" and not "Old Wax". d'Oh! This one showed up this afternoon that you may enjoy, Paulie. They spent about 40 minutes going over two tunes by Victor Wooten, SW's "Overjoyed" and a VW piece. Not...

    Dead Wax

    Here they go over how Silk Sonic changed the recorded and live versions of Smokin' Out the Window, and they don't really get past the intro! So many details packed into these recordings, absolutely love it.
