A Music Thread?

[EssexPhil]

Thought it might be worth trying to get traction on a music thread. I like to listen to new stuff-whether that is from a new band,  someone before my time, a cover giving new impetus to an old song, whatever. The beauty of streaming services is being pointed to bands you haven't heard before.

If no-one replies, I'll take the hint

So-2 songs from Ireland. First an absolute banger from Kneecap. Then, for balance, an act proving that comedy gold can come from unexpected places

Great idea Phil, the Music Thread Next Door was maybe the most popular & long running thread we had.

I've modified your Post to turn those Links into actual videos.

You can use the YOUTUBE icon above the text box, far left, then insert the link between the two "YOUTUBE" but REMOVE the "s" from "https".

I should warn you all that Phil has shocking tastes in music. Punk & assorted shite.

That Kneecap shyte....  (Shakes head)

I'm a huge lyrics fan myself, and I often cry unashamedly, (Well sometimes a bit ashamedly) at really poignant lyrics.

I'm the same with poetry.

The thing about music is, everyone should like the same stuff that I like and not that other rubbish.

I can't help with these but if one of those links is to Lonely Boy then great choice. It's one of those songs that make me whish I could dance.

I've spent hours in front of the mirror when no one is home but I still look like Pinocchio.

Can't do the Lonely Boy one for some reason.

Lonely Boy. Presume you mean Andrew Gold.

Great lyricist. Though I preferred Never Let her Slip Away.

Music can suit all moods. I like quiet and contemplative-just not all the time. Andrew Gold himself knew what sold for him, and suited his voice. Didn't stop him doing a lot of very different stuff, from songs by The Simpsons and Alvin & The Chipmunks. Or his cover of Monster Mash with Linda Ronstadt

Might interest you to know that his most popular song these days is of a totally different genre. Try the Undead Tombstone Mix of Spooky, Scary Skeletons. At the other end of the spectrum he wrote and produced a lot of stuff for Leo Sayer, like Endless Flight.

Someone I've followed for many years - Davy Knowles (chap from the Isle of Man now mostly US based) - introduced this to me because he plays lead guitar on it. Very tasty track.
