The official "What are you listening to right now?" thread

If you told me at almost 51 I would have a new favorite album and song I would have thought you were crazy. But this song is (to me) perfect. And they lyrics really are helping me through losing my pup. I miss her so much and this song helps me.

Sometimes after the meeting when the reaction sinks in… and thoughts of retirement seem kind of pleasant.

40 years ago today. This album absolutely blew the mind of 12-year-old SkinyUte.

While Metallica has gone steadily downhill since, this is still one of the best metal albums ever recorded.

Colbert’s band (the class of the late night tv bands) went into a commercial break tonight playing a tune I immediately recognized as Sly & The Family Stone - I Want to Take You Higher.

It sent me very happily down a rabbit hole listening to all of Sly’s great old tunes, which eventually lead me to my favorite of his tunes (below). It’s in 12/8 time which creates such a unique rhythm that it’s unmistakable.

Sly and his band, and particularly this tune, defined “funk”.

People talk about super groups. This here is at the top of the list. And they only played one song.

The whole documentary is good. It wasn’t released for about 20 years cuz the Stones felt they were eclipsed by The WHO.

To piggyback on this particular post. I found on Prime “Man on the Run” about Paul McCartney. I’m not far into it, maybe 45min, but so far it has proven interesting. So far a ton of talk on The Beatles and their breakup.
