  1. Blimey, you have just opened up a whole genre that makes me smile - Hill Street Blues theme, Taxi (Bob James), Chuck Mangione, Sadao live at the Budokan, the list could go on and on!
  2. The ultimate must be the one being discussed here:
  3. Oh yes! Not a fan of skiing, but somehow got captivated in the late 80s by Alberto Tomba. Something very glorious and nostalgic about the theme music!
  4. Listening to, but watching at the same time, A Mighty Wind - the sort of Folk follow up to Spinal Tap. Music although all spoofed was brilliantly done, and the film although not quite as many classic moments as Tap is very funny, and very clever.
  5. If you like a bit of Flamenco gone off piste then have a listen to Omega (on Spotify). Mix of Enrique Morente's traditional Flamenco with the lyrics of Leonard Cohen and Spanish Poet Federico Lorca, plus a rock band Lagartija Nick thrown in for good measure. Very weird, but I've loved this album for a long time.
  6. When you have big boots to fill... Thanks for posting @Old Man Riva
  7. Mornin' (sorry about the seriously cheesy video, but the song is pure joy)!
  8. Couple of Lovers' Rock classics:
  9. Of course, on the 20th anniversary of his death -
  10. Great call, would have probably gone with the Sideboard Song, but Chas & Dave were instant cheer up whatever they did.
  11. Thought it was time I investigated Wilco. One upside to all this downtime!
  12. I'm an unashamed fan of great pop music. This one always puts a spring in my step.
  13. Putting a Reggae playlist together on Spotify. Currently Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey playing.
  14. Yes, it was!
  15. And following on from that, here's an interesting earlier (1967) version of Dawn Penn's 1994 hit!
  16. The very cool original of a much bigger hit.
  17. Probably a new thread in off topic rather than derailing this one, but here's a take by a Jamaican Rasta: http://www.jamaicanrastafarianlove.com/becoming-a-rasta-can-a-white-person-be-rastafarian/
  18. Unfortunately for me, the most stunning one is a guitar.
  19. Stunning craftsmanship, and yes, dowes look nice, until someone plugged the lead in. Spoils it completely IMO.
  20. Got any gigs coming up?🤔 Don't do it. Really not that important in the grand scheme of things, and the evidence for the benefit of social distancing really can't be ignored.
  21. What, she wants to part the 16 year old out?
  22. Seeing lots of music teachers talking about Zoom for online lessons - might be worth looking at for rehearsing.
  23. Why are all these coronavirus threads appearing in General Discussion? Has it suddenly become music related? Grump over.

      In before the Lockdown.

  24. Love the way Ernest and Monty straddled Jazz and Reggae so naturally.
  25. Not very contemporary, but not ancient and muffled - the wonderful Ernest Ranglin with Sly & Robbie. Beautiful stuff.
