[MUSIC]What Are You Listening To?

Evidently this is what I've been listening to this year..

 

Amazon Music creates a little video for you. It's pretty cool.

I listened for 56,355 minutes (and counting)...

Top song was Right by David Bowie (played 39 times and counting).

And I'm in the top 1% of Doyle Bramhall II listeners this year.

 

See if you can figure out what I was thinking about in 2025 (My Amazon top plays for the year) -



To maintain the theme of the thread, I'm oddly obsessed with this song at the moment -

 

I know it will never happen, but MAN how great would a Talking Heads reunion be...

 

And now that song is going non-stop in my head...lol

 

Participants in this thread may be near dead but music isn’t. Great stuff getting posted but we know all those songs. WAKE UP YA’LL

 

Few years ago a Talking Heads tribute band out of Austin showed up in Marble Falls at the old downtown theater.

And they were ****ing awesome.

Dude looked and sounded shockingly like Byrne, and the band was on point to. So that's the closest I guess I'll ever get.

 

New job or No job?

 

I've always liked this song:

 

There's a link below to the Houston Folk Music Archive. It's really excellent, with oral histories of the folk music scene in Houston from 1961-1990, as well as clips from performances by legendary singer/song writers. I went to Sand Mountain and saw Jerry Jeff perform there, wearing a beret (which was a trip, considering what he ended up doing later). It was a great coffee house. The comments above the last two links below are from the Archive.

This is an ad for an upcoming show at the Rice Memorial Center at Rice University. The student discusses seeing Jerry Jeff Walker at Sand Mountain Coffee House in the fall of 1969.

In 1974, Townes Van Zandt and his newly added guitarist Mickey White opened up for Hoyt Axton. Here is audio from that performance recorded from the KPFT radio live simulcast.

Me too

 

Underrated gem of an album. Got me through some times. Good for you sir.

 

Stumbling into stuff like this is what makes life grand.

 

She was a sullen little visitor
in her coastal way
just where the Japanese guys
take pictures of the sea spray

 

Stumbling into stuff like this is what makes life confusing

 

You don’t get it. That’s fine. No need for rudeness.
