Songs you are currently addicted to!

[Daysleeper]

So what songs can't you get enough of at the moment?

For some reason I can't stop listening to Stevie Nicks' 'Stand Back'. I had never heard it until this week but am absolutely loving it at the moment. I just love the sound of her voice and the bubbling keyboard lines.

There is also a stonking live version of it on Youtube performed by Fleetwood Mac in 2003.

I only have Rumours, but I definately want to get more Mac/Nicks stuff!

[The Tourist]

For some reason I can't stop listening to Stevie Nicks' 'Stand Back'.

lmao. a few years ago when me and Anya were in Barcelona they kept playing that video in Hard Rock Cafe. We must've seen it about 5 or 6 times within the couple of hours we were there. It's a really dodgy video but we kind of fell in love with it for it's crapness. I actually bought The Wildheart for £3 just to get that song, though I can't say it holds up well without the video. Watch the vid if you can find it.

There aren't any particular songs I find myself repeat listening to at the mo, though I'm not varying from about a core of 5 or so bands atm. These consist of Brian Jonestown Massacre, Japan/Sylvian/Karn stuff, Kraftwerk and various shoegazing stuff.

[Mary Alice]

for some strange reason I know a lot of info about Stand Back ...

1) she wrote the song on her wedding day. Yes, she was married, for like...5 minutes. Her best friend (whom she knew from high school, before she got famous) died of cancer right after she had a baby ... the doctors warned her friend the pregnancy would probably kill her but her friend wanted to have the child anyways. So Stevie thought she was supposed to marry her best friends widower and raise the kid...for some reason Stevie felt it was the right thing to do. Then on her wedding day she realized she didn't love him, it was a mistake, and that both of them thought she could replace her friend for him and his kid and of course she couldn't, and that they could take the place of the friend for her and they couldn't, so here she is all alone on her wedding day in her confusion.

She said in an interview that once she and her ex-husband split up she never saw the little boy again. She knows the son is doing alive and well, but she said he had to come to her. And that she had all these pictures and videos of his mom to show him. She only stayed married for a very short time, so the boy wouldn't remember his time with her as he was just a baby, but she's sure he knows the story.

2) And another story is that Prince played the keyboards on the song. She had the demo and played it and then heard Little Red Corvette in the car right afterwords and had an idea that Prince would really rock the song up. She was so crazy and messed up at the time, she said she kept trying to get Prince to sleep with her and he wouldn't even though she thought there was some kind of attraction, but he just came in, played the keyboards cool as a cucumber, and left.

Did you like my stories?

[Peter]

Thanks MA for the Stand Back info...I too enjoy the song even more now.

Here is a video of Fleetwood Mac performing it (Stevie Nicks looks so much better here!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAPAnEbZRbQ

[Anyanka]

Paul - I love the MAC, both Peter Green stylee and semi Amercanized.
Get the s/t Fleetwood Mac album, as that has Landslide on it and some other great gems. Tusk is also pretty cool, if you can forgive some of the cheezy stuff.
<3 Stand Back, and thanks MA for the info! Muy interesante.

[Anyanka]

oh yeah, my current obsessions are:
Amy winehouse - You know I'm no good
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
The Beatles (George baby) - Long, long, long

Hey Anya!

Thanks for the heads up. I quite like the Fleetwood Mac I've heard, but don't really know what's the good stuff to get. I bought the Rumours album, and like about half the songs on it. I've heard Tusk is pretty good, so will check that one out next. I d/l a couple of songs from Tango In The Night. They were okay, not brilliant.

[The Tourist]

I'd avoid Tusk and get their s/t one. I've only heard Tusk once but I couldn't listen to it all. Just get the Peter Green era stuff, it's much better.

If you are the sort to love Visage then you would be a fool to miss out on the delectable treats of other such luminaries... list upon request.
Did you ever get any Ultravox! when I was banging on about them?
If not then get "Hiroshima Mon Amour" "Slow Motion" and "My Sex". They're a good introduction to a once great band. Though actually it's Gary Numan's fault that Ultravox reformed with frickin' Midge, the same Gary who ripped off John Foxx's style and exploited it before John could make a bigger name for himself. :( sob.

[Anyanka]

but you still cum to Gary...

and lol at 'My Sex'. It sounds like a George Michael song. No offence to Mr Foxx, like.

[The Tourist]

:P@cumming@gazza........... so truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, like Spandau and Mr Hadley said it woz. :O
My Sex is an aceness song, and no offence to John cos it was co-written with Billy Currie and Chris Cross. No, not Christopher Cross of Kris Kross, or however they spelt their sensational name.

[Kris K]

Nico- These Days

[Anyanka]

Nico- These Days

yeah, except some rapper sampled the guitar intro and it annoyed me :(

Superchunk - Hyper Enough

[Herr Lipp]

Eliot, I am going to get an Ultravox album next pay month. The Visage album is okay but lots of skippable tracks. Can't argue with £2.43 inc postage though. I lurve Amazon Used & New.

[The Tourist]

make sure you don't get a Midge fake Ultravox album. Vienna was about the best song they did despite it being quite boring.
Remember, if it's got an ! then it's brill, if it don't then it's kill kill kill. Or something, I forget how it goes, not that it ever went.

[Fab]

Currently not leaving my brain:
Fire, Fire, BURN! Got to turn it up, strip it doo-oown 1000 degrees! The Pink G. R. Ease are gonna make you sweat!

[The Tourist]

good choice! or good song cos I guess you didn't choose to have it stuck in your head. Have you seen them live? They're from Sheffield so I imagine they play lots of gigs near you. Not in your bedroom or anything, but ya know.

[Fab]

I haven't, I only got into them when I was looking for some fun songs to put on a CD for a New Years party, I do intend on seeing them sometime though, I hear they're ace. Maybe I heard that from you.

Oh, and :yes: Visage.

[Anyanka]

I saw Pink Grease play Fibbers in York and Rory, the singer, jumped off the stage and ran over to me and bit me on my boot (no, not boob) :O
They are tres coolio.

Eminem- Kill You

Pretty much everything on the MMLP. Forgot how amazing this album is.

I've been singing this a lot after hearing it again on some TV show. But i replaced "Shady" with "Whitney" (the name of my cat), as an ode to said feline.

[wasp in a jar]

i am stupidly addicted to the afghan whigs at the moment.

66 and citi soleil especially.

Haha, nice.

I forgot how crazy this album was, lyrics-wise.

"I take seven kids from Columbine and stand them all in line/ add an ak-47, a revolver, a nine/ a mac-11 and that ought to solve the problem of mine/ now that's a whole school of bullies shot up all at one time"

I always crack up on "Criminal," when he does the bank robbery and talks about waiting for 5 minutes and then returning to the crime scene to shoot everyone, "Die bitches, bastards, brats, pets...this puppy's lucky I didn't shoot his ass yet!"

And,

"Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records?/ Well, I do, so fuckhim and fuck you too!"

[Needs Wasabi]

heatmiser "the fix is in"

That song is great.

What's funny about it is that an anagram for 'the fix is in' is 'sex if i hint' :lol:

[Daysleeper]

I love Revolution Blues!

I've always loved Neil Young. But I'm on a bit of a 70s californian country rock trip at the moment after watching a bbc 4 documentary on it t'other night.

:nerd:

Orbital - The Girl with the Sun in Her Head

Cass Elliot- Make Your Own Kind of Music

Nas- Black Republican (featuring Jay-z)

I don't understand how Jay-z can totally smoke this track and then deliver such a bad album on his own.

[Daysleeper]

I cannot stop listening to Mew at the moment. I'm obsessed. :oh:

[Kris K]

Al Green- Let's Stay Together

[Kris K]

Royce Da 5'9- Boom (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ll4KaCJda1I)

Brilliant beat by Dj Premier, and Royce is on point as always. The video really doesn't fit the song, though. Also, I don't like what they did to the chorus on the video version (the original version just has the voice samples and primo scratching). Nevertheless, great song. Shame he constantly fails to drop quality albums.

[Daysleeper]

I've been wathcing this video a lot since I've been learning to play this song. He's in his mid 50's here but still rocking like a mofo! Oh, it's Hey Hey, My My by Neil Young & Crazy Horse! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYV6PAckr5w)

[Kris K]

Cross Canadian Ragweed has a live cover of Hey Hey, My My which is literally better than every Neil Young recording of the song (imo). They actually give the solo some direction and rock the fuck out on it.

[xangeleso]

Zero Point - Tori Amos

It's about quantum consciousness. Very interesting concept. And it doesn't sound like a Tori song at all. I love it :)

:xo: Stef

The Coup- We Are The Ones
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1jf_8pHCqf4

[Boots]
We are born from the mildew, the rust, the heathenous lust
The dreams in the dust, the evidence flushed
The grieving is just, they're thieving from us
Insulted and cussed, this evening we bust
Appears unstable and under the table
We like free speech but we love free cable
We're taught from the cradle the Bill Gates fable
Which leads to high speeds in Buick LeSables
We have no excuses just great alibis
And poker faces you can't analyze
Our politicians sell our soul and our cries
With blood on their hands they can't sanitize
We're the have-nots, but we're also the gon'-gets
Not just talkin 'bout the Lex with the chrome kits
You can get that by yourself with the four-fifth
Let's all own shit then toast with Patron hits

[Herr Lipp]

Q Lazzarus - Horses.

random tune, but I've played it weekly for about 6 months. Kicks ass.

[Kris K]

N.W.A-Compton's N the House (remix)

Shows they could rap as well as anyone in NY at the time.

The Kilers - When You Were Young

Man, I didn't really get into Hot Fuss all that much, but I'm fucking loving Sam's Town so far.

[i]

It's listenable, I like tracks 4-8. When You Were Young was so overplayed tho.

I think Hot Fuss has a stronger opening, I love all of the first 6 tracks.

Written, and pretty much all recorded by Carl Wilson, and it is fucking genius...the vocal delays...the mental breakdown with the flute/organ/saxaphones all fucking one another before a Moog shits on the mix...lyrics about being fucked-up on cocaine...it's all here.

The song, set to some awful video unfortunately (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvWRabaoeQs)
