Hi everyone!

I'm just curious as to who you're listening to these days???  I need to listen to some new stuff, but I like to get a visual on the artist singing to see their passion, or lack of passion for the songs their singing...trust me, some have no passion, but do it because they were told it was their "gift" and ho-hum their way on stage.  I have a couple of artists that I'm listening to and can't get enough of, but one of them stands above all for my music taste.  His words are a story, he plays with passion and conviction and I just love him! 

 

I'll share this one with you, if it works, I had to pull the video from Myspace because it wasn't on Youtube.  If not, I'll share another one of his songs.  I just still can't get over that I cried when I saw him play, he tells the story behind some of the songs.

 

Here you go:

    Daily.....i like them a lot......The Fratelli......its Italian and means The Brothers...

    Tell me what you think of them..and they have more songs on YT ...:-)

  • GrapeKoolaid said on Aug 29, 2008....
    Oh you know I can't resist...


    A song called "Brainstorm" by the Arctic Monkeys(though I get the feeling that you're already quite familiar with them). 

    You said something about having three speeds.  I hope this one can keep up with you.  :)

    I have a few more if you'd like.  :)


  • dailyachesandpains said on Aug 29, 2008....
    Silver:  The problem with me is that I don't listen to the radio often enough!  I'm talking the actual FM lol!  That and when I do I have a 5 year old in the car with me.  I LOVE Finger Eleven though!  That's a great tune!

    Gingie:  LOVE THEM!!!!  I could totally groove to that song!  I could also envision that song in a placement for film or television! Humm...you've got me thinking now! ;-)

    Grapey:  LOL!  I think I got a black eye listening to the beginning of that!  I definately dig the tune, I could have skipped the tribal dancing chicks.  I didn't get that...not much of a "tribal" tune IMO.  Hell yeah, send me MORE!

    I love new and unsigned artists, but I think you know that Grapey!

    Keep 'em coming!

    Breathe....Cake.....listen to the riff starting at 2:09....just great! And the trumpet at 3:33......

    Daily......you opened the doors....lol.....

  • dailyachesandpains said on Aug 30, 2008....
    GAH!  For some reason, my speakers bit the dust when I was trying to play the vids earlier!  Mr. Daily and I were trying to figure it out ALLLLL damn day!
     
    Breathe:  I have been stuck since clicking on your first video and then my speakers cracked.  I LOVE The Killers!  LOVE them!  I LOVE music posts too!  I've missed a few of them recently.  I think Ed had one up a couple of weeks ago that I meant to visit, but totally blanked!  LOL!  Keep on listening to music!  It's such a part of life, even if it's a jingle on a TV commercial.  Music is everywhere!
     
    Gingie:  I can't WAIT to hear your tunes!  I love it when you get in on the music with me!  :-)  I saw his post if that's what you're talking about and I SO knew it.  Nobody had to tell me lol!  I LOVE it!  I want to see a picture!  I did open the doors, let the flood gates open!  :-)

    ginger....erm...u sure that's the right song?..i thought it could be an intro until 2.09..after that.i guessed it was flamenco :) 

    Daily..oops, i feel like i'm responsible for that now..i'm sorry..i didn't mean to break your speakers ;)...that sucks..

  • gingersoul said on Aug 31, 2008....
    Breathe......oh, shut and double shut.....WTH...i don't know what happened.......i was posting that flamenco video for my own blog and i copy and pasted the Cake video soon after that..

    Guess it got all jammed up......oh well...flamenco is always good, right?...lol..

    Problem is....YT is not working for me right now...i will try later for sure...grrrrr

    Daily......silly one...i was referring to Nutini......i mean...did you see him?...cute as a pie....LOL...... 
  • gingersoul said on Aug 31, 2008....

    Breathe ........ok, i try again....Cake..."I will survive".....:-)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 31, 2008....

    Oh, and i forgot  them.....The Saw Doctors - About you now...

  • silver_phoenix said on Aug 31, 2008....
    daily~ i'm glad you liked the songs i picked out for you! it wasn't easy because i don't often know who i'm listening to!
  • gingersoul said on Aug 31, 2008....
    Breathe.......are you kidding me? I love soccer! I cant care less about football ....:-)
    I never had a fav team but i have alway been fond of Milano, Roma and Florence Italian soccer teams..

    Its such a  fun to watch!

    So i guess i too will have to survive to this new football season.....everybody here cheers for the Dallas Cowboys....if you know them......a bunch of super inflated ego big boys...lol.....

    Hey... Cake ARE good....;-p
  • BreatheUnderwater said on Aug 31, 2008....
    yeah...italy has one of the best leagues in the world, and great teams..i visited the San Siro/giusseppe meazza stadium once where Milan and Inter play their games..when i was in Italy..btw i asked daily to remove the earlier comment, because of something with the vids..so if it disappears it's my fault..we don't see much american sports over here..but i think the only one i like a little is basketball..football..i have no idea what those guys are doing on that field :)
  • gingersoul said on Aug 31, 2008....
    Breathe....LOL.......me either...no clue....people here keep trying to explain the rules to me but all i can see is that oval ball flying here and there and a bunch of muscled up men and lots of butts forming a huge pile and then all stops for some commercial and then everything starts all over again.....bah...

    Waiting for the right person to finally explain all the mystery to me ...:-)

    Inter is good too..oh yeah!
    I bet you too followed the World Championship then.....
  • BreatheUnderwater said on Aug 31, 2008....
    yeah..the european championship ;) well..to be honest when Holland lost in the quarterfinals..it got less interesting (a bit childish)..but well, was cool spain won though, i think they never won anything before, funny for such a fanatic soccer country..Baseball is a funny game too btw, i saw a match once here on some kind of tv-channel at night..and i was watching the supporters..but they were all just eating and drinking and chatting..seemed like no one was really watching the game lol..but maybe that was only that game..i don;t know..seemed like the game was going on for days..not very spectacular..but i guess a lot of other people like it :)  i'm just not used to it..
  • gingersoul said on Aug 31, 2008....
    I remember a great player from Holland....he went to play with an Italian team at one point...maybe 10 years ago or more....... I think he went to play with Milan ....jeez..cant recall his name for the sake of me.....it had a quite sort name i think....something with some effe ...lol....
  • BreatheUnderwater said on Aug 31, 2008....
    i've send you a link with a list of dutch players who played there, not sure if it's complete..and i couldn;t put it in here... :)
  • silver_phoenix said on Aug 31, 2008....

    hey daily, one more for ya! it's the vines~ get out. i find it exciting!
  • dailyachesandpains said on Aug 31, 2008....
    Okay guys...I'm wicked sorry, but I can't figure out what is up with my sound!  Mr. Daily has an audio nerd friend coming tomorrow to figure it out and I PROMISE that when it's fixed I will come back and listen and comment to each of you!
     
    How stupid do I feel...begging for music and now I can't even listen!  <goes to hide after suffering a tiny bit of humiliation>

    This is Gary Hoey's new stuff, he now does a lot of originals and sings!  I actually listen to this song when I'm down in the dumps:

     

  • TaintedAtBirth said on Sep 08, 2008....
    "Is that first one Joe Satriani??? If so, I'm guessing you know this guy:"

    daily,


    The first video is actually Steve Vai (coincidently, a student/protege of Satriani's).
    And, yes, I certainly am familiar with Mr "Ho Ho Hoey" !!
    What about Jeff Scheetz ? Ever heard of him ??


  • dailyachesandpains said on Sep 08, 2008....
    Tainted...you and I are going to be BFF's!  I always get Vai and Satriani mixed up lol!
  • TaintedAtBirth said on Sep 09, 2008....
    Wow, cool !!
    I'm so glad you're liking the stuff I'm suggesting.
    How would you feel about a little Pat Metheny ??


  • dailyachesandpains said on Sep 09, 2008....
    My GOOD WORD!  That guy sure can flick some finger action!  WICKED AWESOME!  Look at that passion in his face!  Love IT!

    For posterity's sake?

    "When I think about the flowers On the day when we first met
    I remember the shades of the blossoms I gave you
    The roses were of blood red
    Some were faded like a sunset
    I guess I believed that the thorns weren't dangerous
    With time I'm sure the flowers
    Probably shriveled up and died
    Cause death is like a hunger
    That can never be denied
    Now I've had my share of heartaches
    But I guess nothings tried and true
    'Cause I've never ever ever ever never been
    This Particular Shade of Blue
    Particular Shade of Blue
    It's time we stopped pretending
    That the fruit is never ending
    Most fortune is lost with the passing of time
    Our love it had the power
    But it grows weaker by the hour
    It's beauty is gone in the blink of an eye
    There's a light on in your window
    But it doesn't shine for me
    There's a lock upon your favor
    But I haven't got the key
    Well I've had my share of heartaches
    But this one's something new
    Well I've never ever ever ever never been
    This Particular Shade of Blue
    Particular Shade of Blue"

I am old enough to remember the Saturday Night Fever craze. The soundtrack filled with Bee Gees songs will always be one of my favorites. I got caught up in the disco fever of the day....
