Music What are you listening to?

God.... damn this is brilliant...

 

Who would've thought that, in 2024, there would be a brand new album & tour from Deep Purple?

 

One of the best songs ever made, remixed by one of the best groups ever. I'm loving this version.

 

A load of retro old music, at the moment spotify is playing Respect by Aretha Franklin

 

Ooo. One on the list for later

 

im not sure this band have ever put a foot wrong,

 

wasnt too impressed with their last album nor their remastering of "out of body" but this; this is spectacular.

*edit* I knew I recognised the vocalist from somewhere, its Shaun from LeBrock

 

From the movie Pretty Woman, loved to rewach it

 

the rumble of thunder and rain.

oh and maybe some journey

 

I wish. Sadly there doesn't seem much of it coming this way on the trackers:

 

looking at the met satellites there's a good chance we'll see some more from 1500 onwards and I cant wait, after the last 48 hours the sun needs to **** off.

 

New Opeth. Åkerfeldt remembers how to growl.

 

edit: bit heavy, that one...

 

Have been feeling somewhat patriotic recently...



My father served in The Falklands during the conflict, so... <shrug>



This is still one of the best versions of this song, but S4C seriously changed the meaning and tone of this song with the translation they chose... This isn't just a football thing, the song dates back to 1983 and the proper translation conveys the feeling a hell of a lot better:

• "Despite everything any everyone" has a different connotation to "In spite of everyone and everything"
• "Let the faint-hearted keep on wailing, let the serfs all grovel and fawn" is a lot tamer than "Let the tears of the faint-hearted flow, and the servile lick the floor"
• "Despite all the furtive connivers" should be "Despite every Dic Siôn Dafydd"
• "Despite England's might, we're alive" lacks the subtext of "despite old Maggie and her crew"
