How patronising is THAT !!??

My musical tastes varies quite a lot due to my age and ethnicity. I have grown up listening to the likes of Shakira, Delta Goodrem, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

My favourite Shakira track...

I didn't really think that this warranted a new thread but I thought some people might be interested in these pics of Columbia artists:

At the moment, I'm really enjoying electro-swing music. My favourite of these bands is Tape Five and my favourite of their albums is Tonight Josephine. Here are three tracks from them. See what you think...

That reminds me of Boardwalk Empire, which is no bad thing.

I still have Boardwalk Empire to watch when I get the time. I'm looking forward to it.

I have many favourites. So to stop you watching pages of YouTube's I've broken this down to ONE of possibly tens of sub categories!

COMEDY

Orbital - Belfast. A techno record that even my Mam likes.

Arcade Fire's new album entitled Reflektor is an almost complete departure from anything they've recorded before.  

Do we really welcome innovation from favourite artistes, or are we more likely to buy more-of-the-same?

Interesting that you have to wait 2 minutes in between posts on this forum.   

The two-minute delay appears to apply principally to "edit" posts.  Presumably the machinery gets confused if it is asked to carry more than one version of an entry at a time, and has to clear the first one from memory before displaying another.... though I'm often wrong.

MY favourite music is Meatloaf's bat out of hell album, especially the track bat out of hell.

Certainly a good one for doing the hoovering or other boring household jobs - I like a bit of rowdy music for that.

They look great singing it too boatlady, wish I could have seen them live about ten years ago.

Shostakovich , Mahler and Rachmaninov should be enjoyed .
Delius and Elgar if you have a romantic spot .
But I have the softest spot for Bebel Gilberto and even Dionne Warwick  plus records where God pointed his finger just the once -- at people like Archie Drell and the Bells  and   John Paul Young  . And   , perhaps , when God called Marvin Gaye to ask  " What's going on ? "

You give it all away! That's the way to ***king go!!!

If they can't take it, then it's their problem and not yours.....

You can't hide from yourself......

Love is the way to go, love and acceptance......
