Creepy show but very atmospheric tracks in general. Sometimes Iāll put in on while I do some work because itās calming.
I had to do a quick skip, it was Stephen Bishop - On and On. A much better song came up.
While typing, this came up. Older songs are so short.
Petula Clark - Call Me (1965)
Olivia Newton-John - Have You Never Been Mellow (1975)
Little River Band - Reminiscing (1978)
Barry Manilow - Canāt Smile Without You (1978)
I work in a lab and I have over 4000 songs on my phone I listen to on random play. Itās easier to take out music you wouldnāt want to play at work as opposed to Spotify which people stopped listening to because itād throw in inappropriate songs.
Anyway, my 1st rotation after Olivia Newton John died and she kept coming up on random play. I assume itās some kind of confirmation bias or maybe the algorithm for random play on my phone isnāt so random but a couple of people mentioned it. Usually people just drop off samples but a couple of the instruments are used by other groups, the 2 main users are into thrash metal and alt metal so I pretended I added her songs as an homage but they were there all along.
This came up while typing, it seemed an appropriate add for Olivia (EDIT: This is the CD I have from them, I highly recommend it).
I love The Carpenters. Music these days doesnāt hold a candle to the older stuff. Itās like itās just made for the moment. It wonāt be remembered. Well, thatās not true I guess. There are some diamonds in the rough that will.
Hereās a nice story for you. On my way to werk each day I stop at a little cafe that opens at 5am. Itās run by a Korean family and they make the best food and coffee. The husband loves the old movies like Breakfast At Tiffanys, The African Queen etc. And over the walls he has a variety of old movie posters from back in the day.
Last weekend I had to replace the floorboards in one of my bedrooms so I had to remove everything from that room. So I went thru all the cupboards and and cleared out all the crap and I saw two old poster boards I had. One was Casablanca and the other was Gone With The Wind.
I donāt need them so the next time I went in I gave them to him. The look on his face was priceless. I donāt even know what Iām trying to say. He hasnāt put them up yet because heās waiting for the xmas holidays to repaint the store. But it was just nice to see someone else appreciate the older things.
Music existed a long time before the rock era, I like all of it but have some issues with auto-tune. Just an older guy, I guess, first listened to music pre-digital.
This was just on when I read your post, seems an appropriate add.
I do listen to songs from this millennium, just not a lot post 2010. This is whatās on right now.
EDIT: Something for the season. Iāll stop.
The Police - Every Breath You Take
Wilson Phillips - Ooh Youāre Gold
Next To You (Someday Iāll Be)
