New Music for Old People

Like you and me. This is the thread for non-classic rock and other new-ish tunes you stumble upon. Catchy mothereffer from White Reaper. Good bones. [YOUTUBE]31jvtk3Z8AU[/YOUTUBE]

Ha! Reminds me when a Facebook friend posted that Howard Jones came on the radio and his kids called it ‘ Old People Music ‘

LWFS Jan 17 2020 08:35 PM Re: New Music for Old People

Fun stuff-- especially that tasty twin-guitar line at the ass-end of the chorus. Here's some New New Wave-y jangly bits from the slightly-less-Queen/slightly-more-Crowded-House new-mooziks of the 1975: [YOUTUBE]LS1b7Q--9Zs[/YOUTUBE]

More INXessy than Crowdy Housey, to my ears.

Chad ochoseis Jan 18 2020 07:06 PM Re: New Music for Old People

This band isn't really new. They're from the 90s and two of them died in horrendous rock star ways towards the end of the decade. But they're generally unknown outside Quebec, so I'm guessing they'll be new to this forum. I found them when going down one of my Montreal rabbitholes. Introducing...Les Colocs (The Roommates) [YOUTUBE]lsdnxvtoRiQ[/YOUTUBE] Mauvais Caractere = Bad Temper. I think this is the version where they segue into "Jump, Jive, An' Wail" towards the end of the song. A couple of quick stanzas translated: I bought a pit bull But he couldn't handle me He gave up and ran away To the SPCA ... One night at a show There was some big dope He talked a bit too loud He ate my guitar

Johnny Lunchbucket May 31 2020 09:46 PM Re: New Music for Old People

So, Willie Nile has become the chairman emeritus of NYC Rocknroll, which I'm not even sure exists anymore, beyond Willie Nile. So his new album is a poorly timed homage to NYC nightlife, and opens with this throwback crowdpleaser complete with silly rhymes you can see coming from a mile away and more name-dropping than Weissman on a Sunday at Shea. Yes the Mets make an appearance so do the Rangers, Isles, MFYs, Jets, Giants and Knicks. God bless Willie [YOUTUBE]JKCgmzgJwLw[/YOUTUBE]

MFS62 Jun 01 2020 05:59 AM Re: New Music for Old People

FINALLY! An answer to the dreadful Bristol Stomp. (Whichever Bristol you thought it meant) And it shows there is more to New York music than rock and roll. It pays homage to non-rock performers, such as Sinatra, Pavarotti and Charlie Byrd. Me likey. Later

Frayed Knot Sep 11 2020 12:53 PM Re: New Music for Old People

I'm guessing that the title of that song is 'Letter to You' ... just a hunch based on that phrase being uttered some 57 times.

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2020 11:51 AM Re: New Music for Old People

On Saturday's 'Mixed Bag' program on WFUV (just listening to it now) DJ Don McGee led off his show with the above Bruce tune: LETTER TO YOU Said it's slated for a late October release and that the entire album (12 songs) was recorded 'Live' at Bruce's home studio (aka: the shots in thee above video) no re-takes, overdubs, etc. Anyway, he followed that song up with: ROCK & ROLL LOVE LETTER by Tim Moore. Moore didn't have a hit with his 1976 version but it was covered by the Bay City Rollers who did chart with it THE LETTER - Box Tops (in all its sub-2:00 glory) SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED - Stevie Wonder PLEASE MR. POSTMAN - The Marvelettes YOU WEAR IT WELL - Rod Stewart [I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon but to settle down and write you a line] WHY DON'T YOU WRITE ME? - Simon & Garfunkel (BOTW album) RETURN TO SENDER - Some guy named Elvis something er other

That DaJo was pretty good but probably 2 minutes too long. Very Kid Creole-y. Since this thread is turning into new music from old people for old people, there's a new LP from the Empty Hearts (Romantics' Wally Palmar, Cars' Elliott Easton, Blondie's killer drummer Clem Burke), not doing 80s stuff but 60s stuff. Try it, you might like it. [YOUTUBE]nvmRDNGjthM[/YOUTUBE]

ashie62 Sep 19 2020 07:25 PM Re: New Music for Old People

I like it. Almost sounds like Jeff Lynne on the chorus.

Johnny Lunchbucket Sep 25 2020 06:43 AM Re: New Music for Old People

Our pal smg thought the forthcoming Midnight Oil single released this week was facebook-sharable but evidently not New Music For Old People By Old People sharable. Anyway that one was good, but this other new one it inspired me to find, is even better, with the rage, and the horns, and the jangle-breakdown and the power chords and the smashed-on drums. It's a 5-tool Oily classic. [YOUTUBE]wuWgE-u4keg[/YOUTUBE]

The new AC/DC song sounds, incredibly, like every other AC/DC song. And that's a thing of beauty. [YOUTUBE]xNhn1KOqq8g[/YOUTUBE]

Edgy MD Oct 16 2020 01:37 PM Re: New Music for Old People

Amazing that what looks like a simple still shot is actually a really, really low-action promo video. I was going to post this when a video became available, but that really seems to be it. Amazingly (to varying degrees of amazement), Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd, and Cliff Williams are all back in the fold

ashie62 Oct 16 2020 01:43 PM Re: New Music for Old People

No doubt that is AC/DC even without Malcolm Young. Malcolm's years on the highway to Hell left him with very early dementia. Saw them early on with Bon, i'll just say the police showed up.

Johnny Lunchbucket Oct 16 2020 02:10 PM Re: New Music for Old People

I was gonna say there's just a tiny bit of muscle missing from that rhythm guitar that I wanna imagine Malcolm zaps you with just a tiny bit harder. But yeah, same old AC/DC. I thought for sure with George and Malcolm out of the picture even the re-addition of their old players couldn;t recreate the formula. But you know, I'm not entirely convinced that every AC/DC song wasn't written 40 years ago, or maybe by a computer programmed by George Young. I may have shared this before, but here's a proto-AC/DC song, sung by George Young, played on by teenage Mal and Angus, under the name Marcus Hook Roll Band: [YOUTUBE]oserFPEsLD8[/YOUTUBE] All they really did was take this song and turn every knob up

Edgy MD Oct 16 2020 03:30 PM Re: New Music for Old People

That's hilarious. The intro isn't right, and sounds more like Poco or Yes or something, but once the first verse vocal starts getting spit out, it's totally AC.

Johnny Lunchbucket Nov 06 2020 06:11 AM Re: New Music for Old People

This one goes out to my facebook frenemies still fighting for DJT. Todd Rundgren can always be counted on to throw a curveball, you just don't know what kind of curveball is coming. Here he teams with Weezer's Rivers Cuomo and it sounds like Oingo Boingo or something. Not sure the fake Caribbean singing will go over well in a sensitive world but you know: I came across this a week ago, forgot I had, and last night it just started playing in my head.

ashie62 Nov 11 2020 04:14 PM Re: New Music for Old People

Sort of a variation of an earlier posted "The Ship is Sinking.' This was released today and is as close to new Kinks music as we are likely to get. A 50th anniversary remaster of "Powerman", done by the man, Ray Davies. [YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/B75Nisrx1vc[/YOUTUBE]

Not sure if this is where this should go, but Spotify was nice enough to make me a playlist of my 100 most listened to songs of 2020. My #1 surprised me as "most listened to", but I do like that tune. You can see the full list here if you wish. https://i.imgur.com/TU2ii4L.png>

Johnny Lunchbucket Dec 12 2020 04:59 PM Re: New Music for Old People

That's a nice top 10. I'm the only American who uses Deezer instead of spotify. They gave me a list too but it was dominated by Wifey Bucket playing ocean sounds on a loop overnight and Luchpaill, who's into Jeff Rosenstock, Pup, and the Gorillaz.

Fman99 Dec 12 2020 05:06 PM Re: New Music for Old People

No doubt that is AC/DC even without Malcolm Young. Malcolm's years on the highway to Hell left him with very early dementia. Saw them early on with Bon, i'll just say the police showed up. I saw them on their last tour but I saw the "Axl D/C" variation, during Brian Johnson's hiatus. It was a fun show. It's alll about Angus at those concerts, the front man is almost incidental.

Not exactly new -- more like 2015 -- but just recently introduced to me. [YOUTUBE]oqspdm08k9g[/YOUTUBE] These songs with rapid fire vocals can be challenging to follow (and even more so to sing I suppose) but this one, with a Ryan Adams meets Dan Bern kind of feel to it, is a lot of fun with a bunch of good lines in it. ... if you want to see a miracle watch me get down ... Jesus hates your High School dances ... ... if you didn't like me then you won't like me now ... it's just another damn in the damns you're not giving

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 15 2021 07:09 AM Re: New Music for Old People

We've discussed this song before, somewhere. I feel like Josh Ritter is almost great.

Dave Grohl and the Mick. [YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/MN9YLLQl7gE[/YOUTUBE] What's also interesting in this is that Grohl is kind of locking in to the Stones angle, bringing less Ringo and more Charlie Watts, attacking on top of the pocket rather than thundering into a nook just behind the beat as is more of his signature. Also Stonesy in that it's more snare and less toms.
