Just a place for random songs and discussion 

The Dolls were a commercial disaster but turned out to be yugely influential . Good lord this song slaps .

When I'm getting home to you
I gotta show you what I can do
But everything connects, and that ain't nowhere
Well, maybe they're just giving you all you ever wanted
And maybe you never ever know what that was
And maybe you're just finding it out now
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
 

Technology satellite, well
What's wrong today and why was
Everyone so busy they've forgotten why they're playing
And he said, what's wrong today is what wrong with you
You're so sorry, busy sorry, that's all you do
With a Vietnamese baby on your mind
Your pretty little mind…

Good thread idea! Hopefully a politics-free zone where we can talk about something that truly effects our lives- great music.

For some reason, the New York Dolls are one of those bands that I should really like, but never quite "got." The Clash are another good example. It's all subjective, right?

Since I haven't bothered to figure out how to embed video, I'll just link Titus Andronicus- Dimed Out

Great topic. People all like music right!

Will listen to most types for at least a bit. Love dropping names into the various music apps (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) and seeing what comes off that.

I’ll throw out “Boards of Canada” and “Public Service Radio” if you are in the mood for some EDM / background music. Need to be in the mood for this

Sirius/XM has a channel called Chill that plays this type of stuff. Trance and Deep House I think are the "genres." One of the few channels that everyone in my house is ok listening to. Good background music. I had not heard either of these songs, but have heard some other stuff from Public Service Broadcasting that I liked. 

I like fast music generally, so EDM is just as deep in my wheelhouse as punk, metal, and hardcore. Hell, even some bluegrass is fast as hell.

I should like New York Dolls - I like a lot of music from this era (Gang of Four, Television, Wire). But for whatever reason I never really listened to them.

Don’t have Sirius but do the same on the other streaming services. The Boards of Canada are more slow but drop em in and see what you think.

I’m a big BOC fan. You might also like Earthen Sea:

We are sympatico. Television was never my favorite, but I've just recently gotten into Gang of Four and have been a fan of Wire for a loooong time.

I think this is my favorite album from the 90s:

No one listened to the NYDs back then or even 10 years after they broke up. I was little when they were together.Their gimmick killed any chance of commercial success. Let’s just say times were different . But they were important to the NYC scene that cultivated punk and  for the 80s hair metal thing. It’s hard to argue against that Johnny Thunders and Richard Hell were the 2 most influential musicians to the England punk scene

Richard Hell of Television and then The Heartbeakers was the template for  UK punk look/image

Never heard of them before. Cool name , I like where they got it from. Just hit share on YouTube and copy and paste the link here and it loads

the music reminds me of someone but can’t put my finger on iit

Have you listened to the Silver Jews, HT? 
90s band, they had that Lou Reed/Dolls sound:

I know the name but never heard anything by them . This is great, love it.  Same vibe to me as this . Will definitely take a dive into your le tengo

Old school punk/metal head buddy of mine in Austin, TX turned me onto this bunch of rowdy hooligans. Total party band, with anthemic garage/punk sound

Thanks, @HellToupee for the embedding tip!

Never heard of either. I liked the Boards of Canada sound. I envision you popping  a gummy listening to Public Service . This one didn’t grab me

This is accurate

Also for just relaxing or focusing on something like writing a presentation or some other mundane work thing I am procrastinating on.

Another band I never heard of. Surprised to see they were from NY. They had no presence at all on Boston radio in the 90s. Interesting sound, I get a indie countryish vibe from this song. Good stuff 

[BunnysBastatrds]

 I liked this band, they were alright. I was listening to this record playing Atari with my friends. My mom bought us a pizza and “who is this?”. She loved them.

Times simpler, more innocent back then. Thank god for headphones, I think I would’ve gotten in more trouble caught listening to this  than if I had a hustler etc. Good times

 
Well, well, she started to grin
So I slid it right in and she said
"it feels so good",
and she dragged me off the bed

You'll be better off dead
Hey! Well, alright

Well then your mother came in
She was stinking of gin she said
Keep your hands off my daughter
You'll be better off dead
The girl's only thirteen
She ain't never given head
So you better keep your hands off her
Your hands will turn red

You'll be better off dead
Hey! Well, alright.

That's where your father came in
He was stinking of gin she said
Keep your hands off my daughter
You'll be better off dead
The girl's only thirteen
She ain't never given head
So you better keep your hands off her
Your hands will turn red

I'm not shocked that you have that in your rotation. Perhaps you and @Tebok should hang out, he likes Trans Rock to.

On a plane…one of the more miserable places to be…this just came across the playlist. Always love it when it does

This thread is about music not your twisted fetishes. Can you STFU about trannies for once? Take a thread off, FFS.

What do you listen to that you wanna share? 

[The Real timschochet]

Heard this the other day, it’s an acoustic version of an old favorite: 

Almost has a Latin feel to it, very nice!

David Johansson was excellent in let it ride.

Bought a 2 LP various artists album called exposed sometime back in the 80s. This was the best song,

Really like the 1st two Psy Furs albums. Each successive album became more polished and it just didn’t do it for me

 

[BunnysBastatrds]

Man, I have so fawking many 80’s songs in my carousel. These two came to mind immediately. They both played on the river boat President, an old paddle boat. Great place to see a show. U2 played on it right before my time. Saw this one night.
