There's a song called "Angel" by the group Massive Attack and every time that I hear it (especially if I am driving at the time) I have an extremely vivid image of a heist scene. Complete with a night time arrival, casing the joint, taking out the guards, breaking into the vault, etc. Something goes wrong though and the alarm goes off, The crew grabs what they can and hauls-ass out of the building, but the cops are already waiting for them outside! A run-and-gun shoot out commences and the crew gets split up. They all jack different cars and multiple freeway chases ensue. Each of the crew meet up with separate tragic endings during the police chase, except for the one guy who didn't even want to do the job in the first place, but he got roped into it due to some bad circumstances, and the song ends with him driving off safely into the California desert... |

Absolutely! Music is basically my reason for living - I am the lead singer/songwriter for my band and also a DJ and producer of electronic tracks and remixes - and I am constantly contextualising and recontextualising music and imagining visual components to it. I can totally see both of those ideas to both of those songs! Skip: yours needs to be shot by someone who lives and breathes atmosphere, like David Lynch or Wim Wenders. CosmoReverb: I LOOOOOOVE Massive Attack, been spinning them in DJ sets since "Unfinished Sympathy" came out. I do it the other way 'round a lot, too - my brain is always in "what music would be perfect for this exact moment?" mode, whether it be some sort of visual stimulus like a movie or some moment I am in personally. |

"Absolutely! Music is basically my reason for living" Music does get into my head for sure. At my restaurant I had I would play Slow Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin on rainy days and the place would move at a slower pace. But On say Friday I would play 80s and even Disco up beat fun stuff, and wow the place really picked up. So years later I worked at OSU and was forced to listen to rap type music and just crap. That music was so negative, man the stuff they would say, the one DJ was talking about a 9 year old white girl that was bitten by a shark and he said "If you don't bite white you don't bite right" Just listening to that show made me just angry, and heck they had like three different radios playing at the same time, loud, man I could not think. Makes me think what is going on in yer head if that does not rattle you. But then fights and murders that went on or were on TV, stuff that would horrify us was exciting, fun and even made these people laugh. This is why I play happy and more upbeat stuff, even some of the Hawaiian type music can be too sleepy for me at a party. If I had a tiki bar you would hear Thin Lizzy at least once a night. |

Pretty cool Skip...Big Mike does have talent...great job on Joe Jackson. The clown thing...well...It all started when I was a young kid by watching The WILD WILD WEST, w/ that crazy Dr. Miguelito Quixote Loveless, who some how morphed into a clown and would chase me around a carnival in my reoccurring nightmares. My older brother still laughs his ass off about that. |

I found a 7" vinyl copy of Rawhide by The Chaps for our jukebox. See it on youtube: Another fantastic cover is Big Daddy's live take on The Beatles Sergeant Peppers: And last but not least - my Dad had a 78" recording of Yes Sir That's My Baby by Hari Kari recorded in 1953. I also managed to find a 7" vinyl copy for the jukebox: Less is Moai Oops my Dad's record was a 78 rpm not 78" [ Edited by: Thurston Howell IV 2018-09-10 17:38 ] |

Here's one- a cover of the "Dance Song" from Titanic by a Punjabi bagpiper and her crew. Don't care much for the movie, but I love me the pipes and Punjabi dancers. The fiddler ain't exactly hard on the eyes or ears either. and as a bonus, for the under 40s (should there be any of you here), my favorite cover of Placebo's "Pure Morning" |

Eve Of Destruction · The Dickies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLuCA2ZWJh8&list=PLKckQlnMZwKJaAxoNbxhCrnetXMT3tx7E&index=15 The Eastern world, it is explodin' Violence flarin', bullets loadin' You're old enough to kill but not for votin' You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'? And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin' But you tell me over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Don't you understand what I'm trying to say? Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today? If the button is pushed, there's no running away There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you, boy But you tell me over and over and over again, my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin' I'm sittin' here just contemplatin' I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation Handful of Senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't bring integration When human respect is disintegratin' This whole crazy world is just too frustratin' And you tell me over and over and over again my friend Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction Think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama Ah, you may leave here for four days in space But when you return, it's the same old place The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace You can bury your dead but don't leave a trace Hate your next door neighbor but don't forget to say grace And you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction |
