The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Yes Lemmy was a real character. I know I said I didn't see many bands, but I did see Hawkwind.
I friend at school played me Sonic Attack and I think that and early Pink Floyd started an interest in sound art.
Another band I saw was Devo. Also liked The Residents.

Is this a place where I can post weird stuff? Testing the waters.
Little Primus with a smidge of Tom Waits, This was the only version I'd heard before today. Always liked it.

Echoes or ripples. I think everyone is listening to everyone else. I often find it surprising, a Rock guitarist will rave about Abba. I often imagined that on a small island like Jamaica, reggae musicians would be self referencing, but many were influenced by American Soul singers.Echoes of Kraftwerk or the Blue Men
People like Bob Marley lived In London for a while and absorbed influences there. There was a reggae/punk crossover and Motorhead were loved by the punks.
There were also some good Brit reggae bands like; Aswad, Steel Pulse, etc, who influenced The Ruts, Massive Attack, The Specials and The Clash.
Post whatever you like, It's all good fun.
Doesn't that whole 'Devil went down to Georgia' come from the story Robert Johnson put out, that he met the devil at a crossroads and swapped his soul for his guitar skills? It's become a popular myth.
I see Radio 6 Music as John Peel's legacy. It was started by one of his producers, most of the DJ/presenters grew up listening to him and knew him and of course his son has his own show and has John's dry wit.
I also like the Sleaford Mods, there's humour and comment on society, plus Jason's voice and attitude.
And now for something completely different(it's a chilled Sunday afternoon). I've heard a few recordings of glaciers moving, cracking and melting.(It's also something they included in the Steep game)
And of course there are ecological and existential considerations.
This fits in with my sound art interests + they have made their own complex instrument and even use melting ice recorded live with hydrophones.

Dont know, I know Down at the Crossroads was about that, so maybe it was a folk tale of some sort he appropriated to grow his own myth a little? I read somewhere about crossroads being significant somehow in folk magic or similar.
6 Music is good, listened to it casually sometimes. I havent lived in the UK for 8 years though, didn't realize John Peels son had a show.
Only came across them in the last year or so. I seem to like their earlier stuff more from what I've listened. The collaborations with Orbital and the Prodigy didnt really hit me. His lyrics are really, really good.
I imagine you're a fan or have at least come across the old 'IDM' scene from the nineties and onwards. Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre, etc? The real ambient stuff is usually a stretch for me, but when theres a beat involved I'm often in.
You'd probably enjoy Tom's show then. He goes by the name of Ravenscroft(his Dad's real name). It's great because these days you can access media from all over the world, even Radio 6 Music(I don't subscribe to BBC services).
In fact that's where I used to record most of my music, John's shows.
You are probably aware that anyone could send him music and he would play it if he thought it had merit, that gave many bands a way in. Tom is also doing a show where he explores that massive archive.
I've always listened to everything, much to the dismay of some of my friends who would limit themselves to genres.
I had a plan to try and listen to music from every country, every era, same with books and with films. Trying to get a world perspective. I'm really into culture, I see it as human's greatest achievement and as a force for change. It's probably obvious that I look at gaming from a cultural perspective.
I also do something that many might find weird, I listen to music 24 hrs a day(various headphones, speakers), some Radio 6 Music and streaming channels like SomaFM because there's no ads.
Personally I like the one Jason did with Orbital. Progidy, now there's a band with attitude.

Great track! Billy Nomates has some good stuff of her own, been listening to some of her stuff a bit recently too. Couldnt find a live version with decent audio.

Probably would enjoy Toms show, its just not my habit to listen to radio. I stream everything to my phone while I'm working or at my home PC.
I have listened to a lot of different genres, old and newer, but I dont have a deep knowledge of anything in particular. After the mid 2000's with the dawn of streaming and Mp3 I stopped listening to many albums all through. So for example I love Tom Waits but he has entire albums I dont know at all because I snack music like its a buffet and theres only so much room on my plate. Was a grunge kid as a teenager, then a lot of electronic seeped in more and more as I got into Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, on to Big Beat, then Aphex and Squarepusher and so on and on.
You listen to way more than me, I listen much less as I've got older but still occasionally spend a free couple of hours going down a Spotify or Youtube hole to find new stuff.
Music for The Jilted Generation in particular and The Experience are great albums. The later stuff is fine, just was a bit over Prodigy by the time they were released. RIP Keith.
In your quest for cultural knowledge how much Finnish music have you come across?

Just so much choice these days. I stream Tom's show online(if you're ever curious, fri 9pm)>

Listening to some Croation Tech house station presently.
TBH I'm not sure how much Finnish music I found probably not that much. I've got suitcases full of tapes and mini discs but have only remastered and tranferred a selection to my playlist.
Maybe you could share some contemporary Finnish music with us.(just realised Brian already has as well)
Yes Billy Nomates has something.
I do have a fascination with those Northern countries, my father's family were Vikings, here via Normandy.
I'd like to do a tour of Sweden, Goat are another band I like.

The 'deal with the devil' is probably as old as time—so even older than me, if that's possible—but Charlie Daniels said "it may have come from an old poem called 'The Mountain Whippoorwill' that Stephen Vincent Benét wrote many, many years ago (1925)"
Well of course, you must start with my march!
Story is that it's an old clan marching song, and the bards played it for 3 days and nights at his grave after Brian was killed in battle in 1014, after uniting the Irish kings and clearing the Vikings out of the island.

My forum name is just whatever came into my head when I joined. I've only really engaged with one forum before this more than a few posts, and it was a few years ago I was really active there.
Goat is good, have to have a bit more of a look at them, like the tribal drums.
Contemporary Finnish Music I cant help with. That's partly because its hard for me to follow lyrics in Finnish without really concentrating and partly because I dont listen to the radio or really watch TV at all. You might have heard of HIM or Apocalyptica?

There's a couple of older popular ones I've liked, but not sure how effective they are when you dont understand any of the lyrics.

No I hadn't heard of any of those. I also hadn't heard Autechre before, but will listen to more, sounds like my thing.
I don't listen to radio much or watch tv either( only streaming online and YT , Vimeo, etc) .
They seem to wallow too much in nostalgia and repetition. I also on purpose don't know much about the background to music, I usually try to take it at face value. I did get introduced to Sleaford Mods and Goat (Let it Burn is another good one, there is something tribal, pagan forest dwellers about them), Todd Terje on Radio 6.
I'd really prefer listening to DJ sets when I get out, more of a mix and more interesting. When I moved to this city most of the people I knew where Techno, or Acid Techno DJ's, some great nights out.
I do find with art, it often helps to know what the artist is attempting to convey and that context often makes it more accessible.
Not knowing the lyrics doesn't bother me. I have got at least 500 African tracks on my playlist, no idea what they are singing about though.
Also a Radio 6 intro>

@Frindis that was great!
Acid techno like Chris Liberator, D.A.V.E the Drummer and the Stay Up Forever stuff? Have old friends who used to DJ that kind of thing around Bristol and London a long time ago.
It depends on the type of music for me, something with chanting where the voice is used as another part of the music it doesnt matter.

I do like lyrics quite a bit though, like some poetry as well so I guess it comes from that.
I sometimes look up the LastFM bio on artists I like for suggestions as to what to try next. Honestly haven't been looking much at new stuff for ages, but this thread getting me started again Bonus Tipper, have to stop myself posting everything electro I love all at once. This one of my all time favourites.

Yes like both of those. Now we're Buzzin.
It might have been a bit later than those guys, but one of coolest guys I met in Bristol goes by Matt Acidic. I see Acid Techno as tribal in nature as well. Most nights at weekends there would be DJ nights in clubs and pubs.
This was a typical night, rolling home at 6am.

@ipman I think thats after my time, I mostly stopped going to parties before the first Boomtown fair. Some old friends I have still do the festival circuit, kids and all.
@Brian Boru Only found Heilung a few months ago, dont know much about them other than I watched that particular show a few times and liked it quite a bit.

No, cats are so last week. Alpacas rule!
Since you like them, you might like Wardruna.
If I recall correctly, I found them, Heilung and a few more from FreezeAssLand after the Warlords expansion to Civ4, which had a Viking song as a main theme.

Checked out a little Wardruna, thanks. Think I prefer Heilung from what I've seen but always good to get things to check out!

People like Matt were always so friendly to me, went out of his way to be so. When I moved to that area of Bristol, like I said, everyone seemed to be a DJ, so I was always being invited out to parties.
One thing I liked in Colombia was that parties were inclusive to all generations and it was the same on the Dance scene here. Hearing a bit of his set makes me want to go out again, but I sort of drifted away, lost touch, some moved on else where, then covid, yadder yadder.
@Brian Boru it seems there a whole scene up there which we rarely hear. Wardruna really have a dark, brooding Nordic feel.
Todd Terje with his wonderfully named Inspector Norse(there is something uplifting about dancing and when the dancers come on stage it makes me smile)>
