Many Playing For Change cover songs are really good.

Ok, so this is what I consider both amazing and weird. I was wondering if the Scott brand of HiFi equipment was a Musicraft "house brand" (It was not). So I posted an internet search of that question. In about 3 seconds I got an AI response which in…
@Hank I too, have done a few car radio upgrades. I'd say that my generation was the one that kicked the whole thing off. We would put early Pioneer Supertuners and Jensen co-axials and Craig amps in our 1960's beaters, this was in the early 1970's. …
Two thoughts:
1. It has been suggested that trump is very worried about his mortality, as such doesn't care about outcomes (he will be dead). And maybe thinks that this is a form of legacy. It is. Just not a good one.
2. MAGA freaks out over the …
@crash Yes, that is why I chose to share several of them. Have you seen these before?
The inclusion of original artists, young performers, and many cultures (and their instruments) in the songs is just amazing.
Great choice, BTW. Both of them. I…
@Crash. I only just realized how much Chris Isaak channelled Roy Orbison's rock-a-billy style.
And I do love an Irish tune with lots of fiddle work. Thanks.
Woody Guthrie Old Man Trump
Woody Guthrie's "Old Man Trump" is a powerful critique of Fred Trump's racist housing practices and discriminatory policies.
Hopeful video
because these do not usually go well for me.
@Mark I'd forgotten about this. Th…
I like a wide variety of music — rock, jazz, pop, blues, folk, reggae —
and often listen to the various Daily Mixes that Spotify makes for me.
Songs from the following artists/albums were listened to recently.
Cannonball Adderley, Something Else

@DrVenture 'Wicked Game'............back in the day when the production folks offered some very good music videos on MTV, the original video fully provides for the essence of the lyric.
@Mark Thank you for the Woody Guthrie link. I need to pass t…
We tend to mostly listen to jazz (various types) and classical. We have over 2000 hours of music on old Mac G5s, and can choose from a very wide music list of various sub-types. It's a nice setup because the older versions of itunes can be configure…
MUSIC, the universal language................
@hank I'm 50/50 for instrumentation 'the character' of the mix; as well as the lyric. Some songs weight more in one direction. Some songs for me a 'road song' for driving upon the highway, volume set …
I am a child still, old school rock-n-roll nearly always with a good dash of the blues. From the hippie and Woodstock days up to the 80's classic rock. Springsteen, Seger, Stones, Eagles, BB King, Dylan, Tina, oh man way, way too many to mention.
Me…
A general comment.
I listen 90% for the sound sensation (changes in pitch and rhythm, instrumentation, harmonics, etc.) Might explain why I offered up the Orbison song. I can sometimes go years enjoying a song without even thinking of what the s…
Probably a little soon to tell, but the FED has been wary of economic weakness for a while. The numbers have been getting shakier for jobs. Hints of debt problems too. Now liquidity.
Something else to keep an eye on. I was hoping that the FED woul…
@msf I hear you. But I tend to keep thinking about young people starting out and forming a family while facing job disruptions and high housing costs. Also, from what I can see the direction of the country safety net is headed, they will need to hav…

A guy who can change anything he wants with a pen stroke, but cannot make sure military and others who need food assistance are getting food? Bullshit. he doesn't care and wants to try and blame Dems. GOP has the WH and Congress, everything that hap…
Blue Velvet was a bizarre film. Totally expected from David Lynch, known for Twin Peaks.
Roy Orbison, of course, being foundational for many later artists. Thanks for sharing.
@a2z @Observant1
And everyone else, of course
I made a thread for sharing songs

Hi @Derf
I was being hyperbolic, not literal when I said "rot in the fields".
What I was referring to is trump putting one their largest markets in jeopardy - China. Whatever the Chinese "promise", the last time this happened their actual purchase…
The officers approached her, “and she immediately began loudly cursing and making derogatory comments to us and about the department,” according to the report.
“She repeatedly stated we were ‘F‑‑‑ing incompetent,’ and ‘this is no way to treat a f‑‑…
A gold fucking crown! How ironic. Almost like they were trolling him.
And he is certainly 100% unaware that they are playing him for the fool. A "world leaders" version of the special olympics - which explains his dancing.
As for the fellow arrested, there is likely a line a mile long of civil rights attorneys vying for the chance to be the one who is involved with the massive lawsuit, which is certain to be generated from that complete screw up. When the jury awards …
Not to worry, their failure to vaccinate themselves and their children will take a severe toll on them. As will their loss of government benefits, the spoils of which will go to the richest among us. The farmers who voted for him have relegated them…

A few years back I redid the foam bass speaker surrounds on my Cerwin Vega AT-10s. Old and brittle, but basically like new now. My JVC…
"Jesus actually lost faith and decided to take on the persona of MAGA White Trash Jesus"
I wonder how many MAGA realize that Jesus - a Jew from 2000 year ago - Middle East was absolutely not a blond-haired, blue-eyed Scandinavian looking sort of fe…
There's no secret that this FBI and DOJ are now weaponized against anyone trump feels insulted or threatened by. The prosecutions chosen, and the timing tells us everything. Then you have the pardons of folks that supported trump, regardless of type…
am excited to try out those last 2 !
have always been a latecomer to all my fav bands. most dont have music matches for holiday-themed lists, and this may be the longest.

@FD1000, you will be well served if you listen to right-wing nut Tucker Carlson interview right wing nut and anti-Semite Nick Fuentes the other day. This is the same Nick Fuentes that right wing nut Donald Trump brought to Mar-a-Lago in 2022 for fin…
Gaudy? How about just plain in-your-face tacky?
But apparently aspirational for the trailer trash and "uneducated" supporters that are seemingly unable to compete with illegals who barely speak English and have no education at all. People who wil…
Look at the guy who came here from another country to take a "real" American's job, spouting "paste and copy" talking points. Unaware (or maybe not) that his own wife and any female relatives fall under the "DEI" umbrella. And pretending that people…
Good list! Very eclectic. And good gif.
Other than "overplayed favorites", I submit Enter Sandman (Metallica). But, it is heavy metal.
Also, The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company.
Perhaps, Mudcrutch - Lover of The Bayou. A bit of a…
