    the music thread

    since it appears we did not yet have a music thread, where we can share music we currently listen to and want to share with the forum, I'll kick off with a great song from a local (10 mi from where I live) band with an absolute superb summer hit:

    Listen to Joe Bonamassa in case you like their music. Found them by accident on late night TV.

    Try "Oh Beautiful!" (Live) or "The Ballad of John Henry" (Live)

    One of you will like them.

      I'm into something a little different... Wilkinson, rudimental that sort of stuff. Also like a bit of Jack Johnson and the likes of that.

        Good tune, always good to support the local talent.

        I had a good weekend watching this:

              Ahh underworld. Brilliant!

              Anyone heard of a dj called jaguar skills??? If not you should listen to some of his mixes.

              Umm I also like a lot of other things... Cafe del mar mix CDs, zero 7, morcheeba, etc but my choice of music is usually wilkinson and the likes

                First off - don't listen to new music without decent headphones or speakers cos it will just ruin the joy of a new tune.
                Second off - warning: random/eclectic mix of tunes coming up

                Like a bit of John Newman


                Bit of Lo Fang


                Can't beat the Chemical Brothers and this is just an awesome video


                My kids bloody love AC/DC. I might be to blame for that
                Thunderstruck



                And if you've been living under a rock and haven't heard of the mad Finnish band Steve n' Seagulls check this out. I defy you to turn this off. y'hear me? I DEFY you!!!!!


                And a third version of Thunderstruck that I never get tired listening to or watching. Just fwuckn amazing


                Goldfish anyone?


                Something a bit slower? Röyksopp feat Jamie Irrepressible (definitely sounds like his real name). Even if you're not a Röyksopp fan you might like this


                Röyksopp and Robyn. This specific version of the song seems to connect directly from my ears to my spine. Haven't seen the video until right now actually and I have to say Rbyn's looking a bit odd these days. She hasn't aged that well. In fact the song is best enjoyed without the mental video


                This is entertaining me recently. Fair warning: It's a world away from Dire Straits Maybe more to Christophski and tomble's tastes. My coupe's speakers don't do it justice yet but the A4 handles it nicely


                Official video has a huge intro and kind of detracts from the music (same tune)


                Same artist, different tune. love it or hate it

                A good selection there I'm off to check out jaguar skills........

                I'm digging that. I haven't tried getting soundcloud on my iphone though so I can play it in the car. Can you download the music to your device so you don't have to stream it? Like in Spotify?

                I think that might be enough input from me
                hey.. where the hell did the last hour go???

                        Ha! I actually listened to that when I was posting the videos below but thought it might be too obscure for most people. It's an absolute eargasm for me though. It kills my productivity if it comes along while i'm working. I have to stop for a few minutes and just enjoy it. until some b@5stard comes to my office!

                              Probably works AFTER my edit though
                              when the videos were embedded with "[YOUTUBE]" tags they all displayed something like "can't display the content right now". Odd.
