No Sha-la-la-las
« on: April 18, 2015, 07:00:48 pm »
So I was driving my son to the beach this morning when I decided to tune in to the '70's station on my satellite tuner.

The song that was on bored me, so I went to another oldies station, then changed to another one for the same reason.

I finally turned my radio off and decided to just talk to my kid.

He took his headphones off and wanted to know why I turned the radio off. Now he was forced to talk to me.

I told him that all the oldies playing bored me, then I remarked that the problem with my '70's station was that there wasn't much new '70's music being recorded these days.

"The '70's are dead", I said, to which he deadpanned "Taken in their prime too. Shame."

This thread is dedicated to nothing but "new" (or newer") music. I believe that we're living through a revival of good pop music driven by great singer/songwriters and great bands.

So, no old songs allowed.

No artist that you listened to in High School, or that have grandchildren or arthritis.

No doo-wops.

No baby baby's.

No shing-a-ling-a-lings.

No sha-la-la-las.

Nothing older than your current automobile.

Welcome to the new age, to the new age.

New music?

I don't put music on my playlists until they are at least 20 years old!

Beyond this post all you can possibly get from me is *crickets*

 New music? Damn progressives.

It ain't even hardly broke in yet, then.  It's also significantly younger than my 16 y.o. car.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Great band.

Saw them on tour last year.

They sang this song. Explained what it means.

Kate Nash is an acquired taste.

I  heard this song and discarded it at first, but I couldn't get the hook out of my head.

Great story teller of a very different sort.
