"My City Was Gone" by the Pretenders just popped up on my shuffle. I think it has one of the greatest basic baselines that runs through all/most of a popular song. Simple, relatively slow, but just pulls the whole song along with it.

I was just listening to it yesterday. Another fun one is their take on the old Kinks' song "Stop Your Sobbing"

Speaking of covers, Joan Jett's Crimson and Clover is a nice transformation of an old '60s song that is nearly a bubblegum song to a punk rock song.

Here is one that I recently stumbled on. Kashmir from the 2007 Celebration Day. It is amazing how Plant's voice sounds the same as when they first did it. Jason Bonham does a great job filling in for his dad.

I have two nephews who have played in punk bands for nearly 15 years and have tourd internationally several times. I have a good birding friend who was the lead singer in a punk band for years which toured internationally multiple times. I work with two guys who have played in local punk bands. This is a good rock rendition but I can't see it being described as punk. |

Renaissance Faire music or '80s hair band? You decide:

"And Now For Something Completely Different":
If '80s bands are your thing, this is an AMAZING mashup. Enter PANAMAN!

I should never check into music threads - I've just wasted an hour following BardCore musicians (I didn't know this was a 'thing' .... and it's brilliant)
that's morphed into listening to Clanadonia (I'm a Sassenach but I love me some pipes n' drums)
and now I'm about to listen to the Maori All Blacks Haka - an oldie but a goodie.
I'm afraid, being an old fuddie-duddie, I don't listen to much music written/recorded after the Beatles split up  |

I'm also a fan of the All Blacks Haka. In the western parts of the US where Samoans have settled you sometimes hear the Samoan Siva Tau before high school football games (American football that is.) I enjoy the energy and theatricality.

The Floppotron is strangely addictive.

Looking up stuff from recent NOLA Jazz Fests & came across this from Santana & Trombone Shorty.
Happy Friday.

I haven’t looked up enough PDQ Bach to know whether there is an “Even-Tempered Clavier” lurking somewhere. This one is short-tempered.
ETA: insert, plus comment:
JS Bach had done "The Well-Tempered Clavier" (I was close, but no cigar):

LFC's remark about Swarthmore elsewhere reminded me of a song lyric from the 1960s:

The home office is now upstairs during a big reno project and I'm listening to stuff on an old iPod. Right now it's Steppenwolf. Here are two lesser known tracks that I always loved for both the music and the lyrics (and I'm generally not a big lyrics person). The first is pretty obviously him talking to a girl he picked up for a night while on tour and telling her she needs to clear out of her little town. This one is about finally having enough of a live-in girlfriend who is clearly a nightmare.

While it is good, here is a killer bass track: |

While it is good, here is a killer bass track: Agreed but it's the difference between a base line and a bass solo. This is another classic base line with fun guitar work. |

A bit on the guilty pleasure pop side for me but I always thought this song had a great arrangement, great beat especially for dancing, and the background vocalist can belt it out.

This cover version of the Bangles’ rendition of an old Simon & Garfunkel piece popped up recently. I was very pleasantly surprised how tight both the vocals and the instrumentals are.
