What music have you been listening to lately?

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

the first one that comes to my mind is Charlie Megira [it is not his real name but his stage name..]..
unfortunately i first heard about him when he died in 2016. i heard about him by an israeli hiphop group who posted on it in social media..
there is even a film that created after his death by Boaz Goldberg. you can watch it on vimeo if you pay..
here is a sample of him music..
Lord, I Ain't Gonna Bump With No Big Fat Woman No More (Cassette Version).. it's a youtube link from the latest album [the first song of it]..
many of his songs names are difficult to digest..

i listen to many musicians, but this one is one of those with the most impact for me.. they even like him in japan.. he had tours in the US in when he was alive..

tnx to dragnlaw who allowed to post this and gave some tips for the thread..

tell me if you like this music and if you want more..

now.. what about you?

I don't really listen to music anymore. It is a bit of a noise factor for me.
Lately I have started to listen to the radio in the car when I go on long drives. I fluctuate thru the passing radio stations from oldies, country, light classical.

I also just got some headphones for use at the gym. Especially on the rowing machine or the recumbent bikes. Almost always oldies.
These headphones sit just in front of your ear on the bone and are super comfortable. You can still hear what is going on around you - you can talk to people, the music can be just in the background. But... that being said, I also have the headphones I wear for shooting - LOL it completely shuts out the distractions of crashing weights and people talking.

LOL, thank you Seeing to Believe, but I didn't "allow" it, I merely gave some tips on how to.

I've been listening to a playlist I made for my Mom when Spotify first started. Country - Toby Keith, Trace Adkins, Lee Greenwood, Craig Morgan, Alan Jackson, Eric Church, Darryl Worley, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twiddy, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Hank Jr, Carrie Underwood, Phillip Phillips, and more.

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

which model are the first headphones?
what do you mean by 'shooting'?

i use little wireless earbuds at the gym. it happened once that one for them fell into the slit of the treadmill inside the machine but then someone helped me to take it back.. [it fell on the floor beneath the machine after falling inside the machine]..

I have Shokz and like them mostly.

I use electronic ear muffs for shooting so I can hear around me but the report is muffled.

Quite a few of the guys had those, but I was on a budget and had already bought the others, plus at the time they were 3X the price. They've come down a lot in price now.

 

[HeyItsSara]

I listen to whatever Pandora plays.

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

Almost all of my music is in the Country genre, but I put one of the 5 CDs in that was for variety, that I didn't think about the title of the album until I was putting it away - Credence Clearwater Revival's MARDIS GRAS.

I listen to a lot of different genres of music. Classical, Big Bands, early rock, musicals and more. have all this music loaded onto my laptop and iPhone and listen to it through my hearing aids. I have a lot of cassettes that I have yet to convert to digital.

I also have a cable hooked to my traditional stereo set-up that I can plug into my iPhone to play all my music for all to hear.

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

what do you have on cassettes?

do you listen to very old blues and folk?

i've some songs that were not even uploaded to youtube..

one of them is a nice song that i don't know the name of or the musician that sung it.. i even asked on the internet and no one knew. i mean i heard it on the radio once but the person who made the radio program did not answer to which song is that..

but i've other songs too that are not on youtube in any version.

i've once been to an exhibition and they were selling cds of music that were not uploaded.....

I'm a Spotify guy. I like it because they have a wide variety of things I would not normally listen to. Yesterday, for example, I was listening to an album called "Bossa n' Stones" while at work. It's a collection of Rolling Stones songs in a relaxing bossa nova style. Sounds weird, but I really liked it because it was not distracting and reminded me of a day at the beach.

what do you have on cassettes?

do you listen to very old blues and folk? . . .

Mostly old rock and roll and Mozart.

 

[pepperhead212]

This is a song from before I was born, and when it comes on, I can't help but to start laughing, out in my garden, or down in the workshop. And the time this came on made it even funnier.

do you know where are Shokz producing their products? china?
i want to buy but the latest model is not in israel yet..

I've been listening to videos on YouTube of people who were born in the 1990s and later who are listening to "my music", stuff from the 1960s to 1980s, mostly rock. It's really fun watching their surprise at how good some of that stuff was. And, I'll listen to k.d. lang any time. This has to be one of my favourites. Leonard Cohen was asked if he wanted to do a duet with her singing Hallelujah for the Olympics and he replied that it was her song now. Here's a video of the performance that would have been that duet, if Leonard Cohen had been willing.

 

[dragnlaw]

Yes, it is made in China. Here is an article that may help you decide what to purchase. electronics not made in China It is a lot more complicated than it looks.

 

[dragnlaw]

in the US but they didn't answer the chat..

That may be a time issue. There is a 7 or 10 hour difference.
