No Sha-la-la-las
« on: April 18, 2015, 03:00:48 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.

I'm fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm twenty-two for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars.

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

I'm thirty-three for a moment
Still the man, but you see, I'm a they
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

I'm forty-five for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

Fifteen.... I'm all right with you
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
Sixty-seven is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm ninety-nine for a moment
And time for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Twenty-two.... I feel her too
Thirty-three.... You're on your way
Every day's a new day

Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooo oooo oooooooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo oooo
Oooooooooooooooo

Fifteen.... There's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose, hey
Fifteen.... There's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
