For the late, incomparable Dusty Hill, who laid it down heavy and dirty on many a jam:

Not sure any of you are Talk Talk fans.
You may recall, they were an 80’s new wave band with hits like “It’s My Life” and “Life’s what you make it”.
They were around for about 8 or 9 years, I believe and their last three albums are quite amazing..
Colour of Spring
Spirit of Eden
Laughing Stock
And Mark Hollis, the lead singer’s, solo album..
They were anti-pop stars.
Mark Hollis died in 2019 and has received a lot of praise as being a genius. I especially love Spirit of Eden.
If any of you love music and want to crank something unique over a glass of wine with a great sound, and are in a mellow mood, put on spirit of Eden. Dim the lights and crank it.

Cool! Did you check it out?
Also, read online on how the album was made and you will be impressed.
Complete darkened studio
Working through the night
Strobe lights and oil projector lights
Musicians coming in and playing bits and pieces
Mark then working with the producer to piece it all together in a painstaking editing process…
Keep in mind, their previous album was a commercial hit and they decided to make an anti-popular album…
Huge balls!!!
Who does that nowadays?
Montañez was born Fernando Borrego Linares in Sierra del Rosario, Pinar del Río, on a farm known as El Brujito. At an early age he worked various jobs including driving a tractor, milking cows, making charcoal, assisting on the family farm, and as a lumberjack. In his spare time, Montañez would go from house to house singing. He began to sing and play in local parties and family gatherings with his father. In those gatherings, he started playing the tumbadora and the guitar at age 7.
From Anonymity to International FameEdit
"…Polo composes while he's walking or driving a tractor, while he's swimming, under the rain, the sun or the moon, when he's seeding the land... and even when he's sleeping".
— Booklet from his first album.
He started to manage a group that played in touristic areas of La Cordillera de los Órganos. He lived in la Cañada del Infierno, Casa Blanca, Finca del Cusco, and in 1972 he occupied one of the houses in the touristic community of Las Terrazas. He composed his first song in 1973, titled "Este tiempo feliz" (This happy time), after that he continued creating, but he stored his songs in a drawer because he didn't consider them valuable.
In around 1994 when the Complejo Las Terrazas was founded, Polo and his own ensemble of sort started playing at its different touristic installations, like Hotel Moka, Rancho Curujey and Cafetal Buenavista. Between those tasks, he met a Lusafrica European label owner and in 1999 signed a contract to make a few records. From there his first album "Guajiro Natural" and the song "Un montón de Estrellas" were born. In Colombia it sold more than 40,000 copies, obtaining Gold and Platinum status, and he was recognized as the most listened to international artist. He became known as the Guajiro Natural (ORDINARY PEASANT) because of his humble personality and songs about peasant life in Cuba.
At age 44 he had more than 70 songs written as an autodidact. He had no professional training nor musical knowledge, apart from listening the countryside sounds. He composed in a mix of genres, making use of rhythms he heard and knew. He developed his own style with themes about outside or personal events, impregnated with rural elements: the ox yoke, the smell of coal, the smell of bateys.
If any of you love music and want to crank something unique over a glass of wine with a great sound, and are in a mellow mood, put on spirit of Eden. Dim the lights and crank it.

LOVE that Talk Talk record. Always reminded me of a lost Miles Davis album, but with vocals.

Anyone here listen to the new Tears for Fears album, The Tipping Point?
Really great. 17 years in the making.
They are having a very successful tour right now. Selling out all arenas. Good for them.
Always one of my favorite bands from the 80's.

I had Songs From The Big Chair on CD. Love them. More talented than they got credit for, imo. Listen to the end of Everybody/World, the guitar by Roland. And two singers w/ distinct voices that sounded very much of the day. I liked Orzabal's guttural delivery. In Head Over Heels: "IIIIEEEEE FEEEEEEEEEL SOOOOOO-OOOOOOWWW!" _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
Here's a song from the movie "The Place Beyond The Pines". An obscure 60s song called "Please Stay" by The Crying Shames. I had never heard it before until this film, but that is a pretty ass song. It's a male singer, but his voice is very much like Dusty Springfield's (woman).
Scene in the movie (music selection was great and eclectic w/ both mainstream and obscure songs. Their use of Bruce's "Dancing In The Dark" paired perfectly w/ the scene it was in on a lyrics basis.
full song
Song reminds me of "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me" by Dusty.
Here's a pretty good rendition of The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" by Van Hagar in Eddie's studio in 1993. Eddie played the keyboard part on guitar. I'm a Roth era fan, mostly, but this is one of the things from the Hagar years that I appreciate, especially since they were just farting around with it.

Love them! I have them in my 80s playlist with just New Wave hits (Depeche, New Order, Smiths, Duran Duran, Erasure, Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen so on and so forth).
Also a fan of No Doubt but their cover of It's My Life lacked any of the charm of the 80s. _________________ KOBE
This along with their fabulous version of Isolation will be on a new LP to be released in July entitled 18--named for the age they felt when they got together to play music. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

Damn, we let this slide all the way to the bottom of page two. So I figured I'd bump this with something I find pretty epic.
Mavis Staples and friends (and by friends I mean Joan Osborne, Keb Mo', Win Butler, Ryan Bingham, Patty Griffin, Glen Hansard, Buddy Miller, Emmylou Harris, Michael McDonald, Aaron Neville, Widespread Panic, Ryan Bingham, Grace Potter, Taj Mahal, Gregg Allman, Regine Chassange, Otis Clay Jeff Tweedy(!!!)) doing an all-star celebration and covering . . .
Jack Pearson sits in with the Tedesci Trucks Band playing In Memory of Elizabeth Reed at the Butch Trucks Memorial show in Knoxville 2017 . Pearson solo begins around the 14:40 mark and he absolutely kills it. Mostly he plays a stock Squire Strat. With minimal pedals if any at all. One of the most unknown/underrated players or the present era.
Sinéad had balls.
Did this at the peak of her success.
The thing is, she wasn’t wrong.
She was more than right about the Catholic Church.
I believe not long after this, maybe just a few years later, the church was involved in tens of thousands of sex abuse cases/scandals.
I know Sinéad has had a rough life. She deserves respect.

Thanks for that! I enjoyed the Hagar years as well... liked him prior to joining VH. Eddie was just special. The things he came up with were just insanely mesmerizing.

Yeah, saw them live at Perkins Palace back in the early 80's, they were cool...
There is a remastered CD box set, of their 1st three albums out, that sounds incredible on my 12k car stereo... _________________ Do YOU control your Emotions? Or do your Emotions control YOU?
