What Are You Listening To?

A good friend of mine from high school plays bass for Jeff Tweedy's other project "Tweety" and has has small parts in Wilco stuff.
Not sure how much Wilco stuff he has actually done.
Tonight, The Man in the Brown Shorts™ delivered a package (Sunday night at 8 pm??) which included a new album... Chicago XXXVIII!!
I've been listening to this band since Jr High; after SEVEN decades they're still releasing new music, and from what I've read on Amazoid, this is a good one.
Pankow, Loughnane, and Lamm are still in the band (Parazaider and Scheff had to leave), and I don't recognize anyone else in the package band photo (one new guy is like 7' 5").
It's past my bedtime. 30 years ago I'd've bought some beer and stayed up until 3 am listening to this, over and over. But I'll have to wait until tomorrow now. Old Age tamps down your enthusiasm, but also grants you the Patience to deal with it....

OK kids, you say you like Slayer? Iron Maiden? Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Slipknot, Devil Driver, Fear Factory, and so on??
Please give these guys a listen. They've been around 20+ years and somehow I just recently discovered them. They're from Spain and have been playing the Euro metal festivals all summer, their Facebook page is updated almost daily with pics from the shows.
Somehow my timing is that they will be playing live in Colorado in a few weeks, and you know I got tickets!!
Give em a listen, Promises you won't regret!

I've not been a big Grunge fan ever, but Alice in Chains had always caught my ear; mostly because of Layne Stayley's vox, damn that guy could sing. Dark, sinister, down-tempo and heroin-soaked, but I loved this stuff. "Would:"
And I have to add: the last 1/3rd of the song goes to a major chord, and makes you think "This is gonna get happier, at last" and then it hits this odd minor chord, and punches you back down into the cement. Fantastic!

Rick Beato just counted down the Top 20 One-Hit-Wonders of the Eighties, what fun! Some of these songs I never liked, some brought goosebumps on my arms. And in my last job on Hill AFB, there was a forklift on the ground floor that had a bell tone when it backed up, the exact note, tempo, and almost same timbre, as the bell tone on the chorus of "Faded Love"; now I know who did the song.
But the one that really threw me for a loop, goosebumps from my scalp to my ankles, was Jane Child!! I loved that song, and will be digging out her CD tonight. Thought the rest of you old farts would enjoy hearing this.

I think much of the A-ha fame is not because the song was so great but that the video was so unusual?!
