"Roxanne" by THE POLICE



* Haven't heard it in a bit - good stuff!

(... & I love when the band breaks into the chorus: "Roxanne, ROXANNE.... (RoxAnne! RoXaNnE!! ROXANNE!!!)" while Sting wails "put on the red light" in the background between each mention of her name, & especially on the 1st iteration of said chorus - classic)...

P.S.=> Now, back to that coffee - "consciousness fuel" is a nutritional requiem today! apk

I don't know why, but I've just been sitting here listening to the fans on my cases.

I think it's time to turn on some music.... picked out Hotel California. And the rest on the Eagles' album...

Man... I loved that band, The EAGLES!

Especially in their "Hay-day" of the 1970's tail-end!



* I was severely upset when they 'broke up'...

(2 guys that had GREAT voices (well, relative term really) in Glenn Frey &/or Don Henley)

Speaking of the latter artist:

He did a tune I loved after called "Garden of Allah" (while out on his own too).

1 lyric in particular from that Don Henley tune, gets to me, everytime (especially the voice he uses to do it, lol):

----------------

"Nice car...
Ah, I love those bavarians!!
(So meticulous)

Y'know - I remember when things were a lot more fun around here!
(When good was good and evil was evil)
Before things got so fuzzy...

I was once a golden boy like you!

(And I was summoned to the halls of power in the heavenly courts
And I dined with the deities who looked upon me with favor,
For my talents, my creativity...)

And we sat beneath the palms
In the warm afternoons and drank the wine
(With fitzgerald and huxley
And they pawned the biting phrase from the tongues hot with blood
And drained their pens of bitter ink)

Vainly reaching for the bottle full of empty edens
Branded especially for the ones who had come with great expectations
To the perfumed halls of allah...

For their time in the sun"

----------------

I * THINK * He meant that the person singing this portion, is SATAN himself, saying basically "Heck, the world is SO BAD now, it doesn't need me to help even!"...

APK

P.S.=> My fav. tune(s) from the BAND, the Eagles, (back on track now) are:

"New Kid in Town" - "There's talk on the street (it's there to REMIND you): Doesn't really matter, which side you're on - You're walkin' away (&, they're talkin' behind you) They will NEVER FORGET YOU (till somebody new comes along)... Where you been lately? There's a NEW KID IN TOWN! Everybody loves him (don't they? & he's holdin' her, & YOU'RE STILL AROUND (oh, my my))..."

&

"Victim of Love"

(Awesome...)

apk

"Dear Prudence" by the Beatles...



(It's a "rainy day" here, & this tune, fits... for 'cheering me up' some, & yet, in a "mellow way", rather than a "rowdy one"... music, does this for me!)

----

"New Kid in Town" by the Eagles...

(Man, what a GREAT tune, & SO TRUE... by all means, in many things - this is the 'nature of the beast' (everybody has their "time in the sun" but, only for SO LONG)).

----

* Those are 'queued up' & the latter's about to play... good stuff!

----

"I Can't Tell You Why" by the Eagles...

WoW... editing, adding this one now... boy this band was awesome!

APK

P.S.=> The Eagles' material? That's Dave's fault here (lol, per the above from he & myself - been "going @ their stuff" for a couple days now in fact), & also my little brothers' too (he is "INTO THEM", as am I)... apk

My fault? Well, maybe it is and I'm still listening to some Eagles' songs.

Hey, not "blaming you", in a 'malicious way', because this band truly is/was AWESOME... in my standards @ least! I also don't blame you for still going @ their stuff - they are/were THAT good!!



* Great to 'revisit' the 'oldies' @ times (I say this, because, lol well... I am an "oldie" I suppose, by some younger folks' standards)...

(... & to the younger crowd?? This stuff's probably on the level of say "MUZAK" or "Elevator Tunes" etc. et al!)

APK

P.S.=> So, on that "note" (musical one no less)? Changing Gears, & shifting into another "genre" of tunes I dig (& that's "punkish-new wave" type stuff):

"In a world of HUMAN WRECKAGE" by SPONGE

apk

Well, I edited out what I had originally posted!

It was pretty bad (listening to neighbors fighting, guy & gal... not worth reposting original material, @ least as far as explicit details I caught)

Hey, all-in-all?

Well - I felt the guy was in the "right", especially what it dealt with (got into things that don't belong on this forums imo, after I thought about it).

Let's put it, this way: Her actions put HIS life (literally, @ least, as far as his health) on-the-line... that's pretty stupid & dangerous, especially nowadays (after I heard what I heard on the news for my local area especially too, earlier tonite).

Hi! I am new to this thread but I have dj'ed for many years. I am always listening to Paul van Dyk and I also have created my own radio station on pandora.com. If anyone is interested in listening to the intensely, beautiful & uplifting Trance music that I spin. Just give me a shout-out and I'll be more than glad to hook you up w/some really good tracks etc.I'm glad to be a part of this thread-I hope that's the correct terminology!p.s. I love all music and think most of us have excellent taste in music and diversity is great!

Hi! I am into Trance music heavily...This is an older PvD disc but one of his best called 'Politics Of Dancing2' or any PvD disc will do, he's an outstanding dj/pa/producer etcetera in the world of Electronic music which I am really into. p.s. I forgot to men-tion this CD so I thought I would-enjoy! sunshine

Cat-Tranz, a moderator/admin here, is into "trance" music sunshine... you'll have something in common w/ her in that regard (just thought I'd note-mention that to you)...

P.S.=> Well, I am "biting the bullet" today, & cutting off my hair (no more long hair, it's been fun, but... I am 'in the market' for a new/better job, so... gotta do what society demands (@ times, it's necessary, & short-hair for guys is almost a job requirement nowadays imo, for the 'better' jobs in the 'white collar world' & all that stuff))... apk
