Observations on the world and its inhabitants
🧠 Core Argument Get the picture: John Oates, armed with a saxophone and a crystal ball, declares that Maneater is actually a prophecy about 1980s New York—a city possessed by the ghost of Gordon Gekko and haunted by the spirit of spoiled caviar. The sidewalks whisper stock tips, the pigeons wear Rolexes, and every taxi ...
I’m a longstanding customer of Anker. I don’t buy cheap poor-quality stuff. Anker is middle of the range and produces technology that is great and reliable. No delay – the Anker Q45 is currently on sale for a genuine price drop of £42. So it is now £97.99 which means I had paid the full ...
This is a fine example of what I was talking about. People often go like, “I don’t like [X]” or “I can’t stand [Y]” if I share a music video. Well first off, I don’t know what the devil everybody will like, I don’t know everybody – and I’m not here to please everybody! I ...
Righhttt… this is a dangerous post cuz anything in a social media space can be interpreted any which way and turned into a fact that doesn’t exist. So – let’s see if I’m right – againnnn! Oh gord! I’ve used the word ‘beautiful’. Get going on that! Spend time analysing that and me. Am I ...
Those who don’t know Abba should crawl under a rock and remain there forever! Some will – of course – only see short skirts. Jeez! Amirite – againnnn? Of course I am! Those who need to be told what the song means should head here!
I’ve been told by many in my very limited circles that epic music is evil and only listened to by weird people. Well, weird I may be but ‘evil’ I am not – except to stupid people! Stick with the ‘evil’ thing. How do people come to ‘know’ that epic music is evil? They cannot ...
As this is social media of some sort, I expect all sorts of inferences about my ‘personality’, for posting this. I have a very wide taste in music from Classical to all sorts of ‘heavy metal’ and ‘acid rock’. Just be clear, I do not condone or promote the use of ‘acid’! I just happen ...
These images immortalising people will remain so long as this race survives. Sad.
.. but surely not for everybody.. plebs excused. Ooops! Arrogant again. .. oh dear. Beethoven Symphonies 4 5 6 by Bezdin Ensemble
Well, I can just imagine how some will know that this is about Jamaica, my longing to be there and me finding my roots etc. I’m just shaking my head. I give up. I’ve gotta get back to Zog! A man cannot appreciate different kinds of music without people jumping wildly to conclusions.
As a lifetime member and supporter of Magnatune, I share some music that I find uplifting. It’s surely not bound to be your cup o’ tea. Sub-conscious by Chris Field ———— Beethoven Symphonies 4 5 6 by Bezdin Ensemble
You know her from (or as) ABBA. She’s back with a new album at Amazon. I’ve listened to the sample tracks, and I’m in doubt about getting her songs. I mean this is like my experience with Stevie Nicks trying to make a ‘comeback’. They just don’t ‘feel’ the same. I mean they sound very ...
I’ll be hooked on Amy’s songs for the next few weeks, I can tell. Amy’s been a star in Scotland, where the Cap is heading for a ‘trip’ in July. [I’m sure there is at least one idiot out there who’s thinking that my trip to Scotland has something to do with Amy. I mean ...
You know, sometimes you listen to a song but you don’t quite hear the words – or if you do hear some of them, you don’t really think much about them; simply because the music in the song is so nice. Well, this is one of those. I mean, I’ve listened to this probably more ...
There’s just too much music out there to discover!! I’m delighted that I’ve recently come across Blackmore’s Night. I only include some clips that I find exceptional (yes – and I know you may find other videos by the group to be more worthy of showcasing). Dancer and the Moon is there latest album about ...
Song for deep thinkers only. Best understood after watching the movie, ‘Into the Wild’.
The Cap has been watching – and listening – very carefully to Barcelona… Um.. it’s an alternative Rock group – hardly recognised by many. However, the Cap is a supporter of small bands who are really trying to get ahead. As some may know, the Cap is also Life Member at Magnatune…and they’re ‘not evil’. ...
I’ve only just discovered Missy Higgins a few days ago. I’m unapologetic – cuz I have so much going on and I don’t have the time that others have to be looking and finding out who’s good and great. Anyways, her voice and style are just great. She makes the lyrics come alive. Yes – ...
I’ve never met Rob, but I know of his music and have read some of his bio. I first came across his music on Magnatune a couple years ago. Woods of Chaos – his amazing piano piece came with a computer I had purchased. So I hunted him down on the internet and came across ...
Another heavenly set of music for you. It’s absolutely lovely if kept at the right volume in the background, or you can crank it up loud. The Cap is a life-member of Magnatune, supporting budding new artists. I hope you enjoy this selection. Kindly replace your wallets, cheque books and credit cards. Nothing on sale ...
This music is truly inspirational. I’m a life member of Magnatune – supporting and promoting budding new artists, and worthy causes. Kindly replace your wallet, cheque/check book or credit card. Just listen! “Bezdin is an institution in Romania; its purpose is still to give shelter and education to girls who were abandoned or orphaned, or ...
