Music in the workshop

What a great collection of bands and composers appearing on here.
A great post, Ralph and some good taste showing through.
Verdi and what about Rossini too John? - lovely.
The only genres absent so far appear to be "Folk and Country" - :bugeye: ?possibly because it is a crime against nature, rots your mind, has no place in the civilised world and absolutely no taste?
Jump Around - well spotted Ralph - Bob and Earle "Harlem Shuffle" - one of the all time greats - put it under Tamla/Soul. Jump Around - yup - when I have done something stupid with my tooling under too much power.
I like this because it reminds me of my two sons when they were very little - heavily into "The California Raisins" - anybody remember that cartoon series with classic soul music?
Anyway, when they saw the Raisins they were hooked on soul - and tried all kinds of "Cool Jerk Walking". Harlem Shuffle just made them go ape over it.
Unbeknown to them, when I played the Harlem Shuffle for them, I secretly filmed their Cool Walking on my old video recorder - and locked the tape in a very safe place.
This is a most useful bargaining chip to have as a last ditch reserve when in family negotiations. Especially when they have their mates/girlfriends round. "Want to see some family videos?"
Like you say, current so called "Soul and RnB" is not anything like what it really should be. Most of today's female so called Soul singers suffer from adenoids and have voices like angle grinders running in a bell foundry (as do many female telephone customer service operatives). Now Janice Joplin could wail, but Elkie Brooks and Linda Rondstadt (?spelling?) could really give it some.
For a bit of light relief - Punk - "Jilted John" - musically, a profound piece - so complex in its structure.
Eric - weird stuff - but like, good karma dude!
Freak out, man and flairs WILL come back.

??????????? you meant to say they are not current ?????????????
Anyone looked at last.fm yet ?
Got to agree with Bogs though that although I like music in the shop sometimes I want quiet whilst I'm trying to mangle a part to an accuracy of 6 places, like 765,483 inches.
Lately I have been listening to audio books on my Ipod, my truck radio is broken and it's too noisy anyway so the books are a good way to cheer up a long journey.

Well.... Sorry Peter but...
Folk and Country.... Erm, Mike Oldfield is in there, actually classed as folk! What about Bob Dylan? Mike Harding is acctually pretty damn good/funny too!
I do like Jim Croce too... You don't mess around with Jim! Oh and the Mavericks.... Are they country? As I said listing everything would take ages!
I have a best of the Wurzels album too..... Dunno where that sits? :lol:
If we all liked the same things it'd be boring!
Yep, John's a fan of the Tiger Lillies....I've got and listened to some of their stuff, Strange but funny :thumbup: I've still got a lot to listen to though :)
Nothing wrong with Katie Melua (cept 9 million bikes!!!.... Couldn't appreciate that one much) I heard her sing acapella.... Fantastic!
Found this when looking for any acapella recordings (couldnt find any :( )
Well I like it!
Evil! I can't stand it when parents tell your mates/new flames about you as a kid...... But a video of them dancing..... Pure evil! :lol:
"Angle grinders running in a bell foundry"..... Are you a Blackadder fan? :lol:
This thread is a little eye opening :bugeye:
Fun too! :thumbup:
Ralph.
