Paid Members John Matrix Posted July 25, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2014 I dont know how to make links read anything other than the URL on the new boar,but i've yet to find a Billy Joel song that's anything less than spectacular, and this bad boy is no different.  Pressure..  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyv905Q2omU  Can't tell you how much it sticks in my throat that Richie Freebird has seen him live and I havent. Green as fuck i tell ya.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted July 31, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2014 Vince Tempera — Love Express  Fucking. Lush. Everytime I listen to it, I feel like I'm in the lap of 70s luxury, frolicking in the Aegean with Laura Gemser and Annie Belle, drinking Golden Cadillacs, and recovering from a shoot 'em up car-chase through the Neapolitan streets earlier that day.

I'd somehow never heard 'Vienna' by him until very recently and it's gone straight up there with some of my favourite songs ever. I really need to discover more Billy Joel songs (I'd struggle to name ten of his tracks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 31, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2014 Billy Joel is terrific, my wife grew up listening to him as her folks were big fans of his in the 80s. Went with them too see him at Wembley Arena several years ago. All For Layla is my favourite of his non-obvious tunes. Pianoman is a truly great song.

Paid Members John Matrix Posted August 1, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm delighted to see there's some Joel fans on the board. That's restored my faith in humanity somewhat.  The thing with Billy Joel is, i always knew i was a fan, i just didnt realise it. I borrowed a greatest hits album from a colleague 10 years ago because i wanted a copy of "River of Dreams", and upon listening to it realised at least a dozen other tracks on there i loved were actually Billy Joel songs, speaks volumes about how versatile a performer he's been over the years.  I just find i can immediately identify with almost every single song as if i wrote them about my own experiences, in that way his music resonates with me unlike any other artist. Sure, there's lots of artists i enjoy listening to because their music sounds good, but no one touches me time and time again like Billy, i even enjoy his song about fishing for fuck sake.  Punkstep is bang on regarding "All For Leyna" i'd never heard it before listening to that CD but within seconds, as soon as that piano opener hits, i was hooked.  Just on Monday i bought a 5 album set in HMV for £16, cant wait to start working my way through those. Did anyone see the documentary about his tour of Russia on BBC4 a few weeks back, absolutely fascinating!  Steak, if you want some reccomendations, let me know, in the meantime, here's another of my favourites.  Angry Young Man  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2iNLt_hUZg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this entirely.  I only caught the last five minutes or so of that BBC 4 documentary, hopefully it's still on the iPlayer. There's been some great music documentaries on BBC4, there's one above The Eagles that's always repeated which is worth watching too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Mate posted this on Facebook last night. A brilliant slab of synth heavy afrobeat. Fantastic Man by William Oyeabor:   I imagine Damon Albarn crying himself to sleep that he's not black enough to make a record that great.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 2, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 2, 2014 I've become a bit obsessed lately with 80s-inspired synthpop, I think it originally stems from playing to the Drive soundtrack to death last summer. Anywho, this is probably my favorite song I've heard/discovered over the past several months. Just lovely. Â Â If you like this, worth checking the other videos from the same account that uploaded it. Cracking synth numbers on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members John Matrix Posted August 5, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2014 What a beauty. I'd forgotten all about this song and then, BAM, whilst washing up on Saturday afternoon it popped into my head out of absolutely nowhere.  I'm pretty down on my brain as a rule, but it has it's moments.  Roxette - Almost Unreal  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El7GVPUl-r0   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Just discovered Neon Jungle. Feel like I shouldn't like them but I'm a few tracks into their album and it's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've only heard their first song (I think it was their first), and for some reason the silly Japanese counting wound me up. What's their album like? Are they basically a Little Mix clone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 The first few tracks are good. It drops in quality after the first four of five tracks though. I've got the album on again now and I'm not enjoying it half as much as I did yesterday. They sound like Black Eyed Peas Lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
