So, what have you been listening to lately?

[Basvarken]

Oh my, here goes my hard rock credibility ...  I know, I know, I know ...  ... but what would we be without our guilty pleasures I cry? And hey, the way they criss-cross Georgy Girl with Ticket to Ride is pretty nifty!

Geez Uwe,
Are you sure they didn't touch any vital organs when they gave you a new knee? Uwe's comment: Well, I do receive radio signals now and then ...

This music is horrible

I think that the drummer does their curlers.

This came up on shuffle this morning. A "bit" of a nod to Little Wing?

South African singer Alice Phoebe Lou from when she was busking in Berlin.

Nope. Intentional rip-off. Blackmore has never made any bones about being impressed by Hendrix. It's still one of my favorite Rainbow songs, he's done great live versions of it, extending the song to 20 minutes with some really introspective playing. He is a master at that.

I'm relaxed with my more feminine pop side! 











Not everything has to be funky-riffy with sluggish Bonham drums, Herr van den Broek!!!

After his experiment with the curler went horribly wrong - the man is a living testament to RTFM!

That's Kenny Aaronson btw, I had no idea he had a hunch for Purple style music.

Sigh, Alanis Morissette has wreaked havoc with a whole generation of female singers. 

But I actually like her version, overwrought vocals or not.

I get the impression she is totally a free spirit. She refuses record contracts and still sometimes busks in Berlin whenever she feels like it, despite now playing to audiences all over the world.  But even Kierkegaard would have been better off with an editor.  And even Hendrix listened to Chas Chandler's advice on how to streamline "Little Wing" down to its pure essence.  Sometimes vocal coaches, managers and producers can be helpful even to those who are really talented.

Bit Karen Carpenterish, who I like as is well-documented. So there was South African pop before this, who'd have thought ...

She (Glenys Lynne) predates Karen Carpenter. She's Afrikaans and was singing before joining with the band, who are of English origin. She later married the bassist.    They still do a few shows a year.

It was a very strange song to be such a big international hit.

I noticed they briefly got mentioned in "This is Spinal Tap"

Agreed.
But that misery that you posted (especially Georgie Girl) made my toes curls backwards in my shoes and it made the fillings in my molars pop out!

An American hard rock band that does not emulate Robbie & The Hindenburgs or whatever they were called again. A-ma-zing. I didn't know you guys had it even in you. 

Just when you thought we were out, they drag us back in, 

[Basvarken]

I like it
