The entry for Sunday on PNOP is quite the odd one.. Or at least the very first few are odd.. But they were found by way of first an odd link.. The first one where the guys are playing rhythm on the fat guy.. Then from there it went in odd directions and where I said it was a single search from that first video wasn't entirely true.. I did a search for New York street performers and although it went off on a tangent to Russia I decided to keep that vibe going.. All in all kind of a cool lot to look at for me.. I have the same thing happen on Roku in search mode for videos on the youtube (private) channel..
Donald made a statement on his Facebook about moving forward with his music tastes.. To that I say bravo, welcome to the new world.. However he also said he felt like he couldn't listen to some old rock music groups anymore.. Saying you are no longer a fan of some groups, like say KISS, after years of being heavily into them is .. strange to me..I was a big fan of the original lineup and still am, and that band is gone forever, they will more than likely never come back together again.. But I still like that era, same as for Rush and any other group I grew up listening to and idolizing.. That will never change..
When a song comes on the radio that was from the early days of my youth I can see myself in that time, in Cliffs car cruising main, looking for girls and having fun.. It was what I think of when I watch the Midnight Special.. I am transported back to a more innocent time.. But it also saddens me.. There is nothing that good out there now in America, it all sounds the same to me.. Everything is influenced by the same three groups that are on the chart at any given moment.. It all sounds the same.. I have evolved musically but still have the same influence as far as what I listen to.. They aren't from America anymore but they are the same type of music that I want to listen to.. And still when I want to listen to something I turn on the channel I identify with.. Be that a rock channel, Jazz, contemporary instrumental.. Whatever I feel like..
When I left the band I was in I kept listening to what was on the radio for a few years but gradually stopped listening because when the nineties started it seems rap took hold big time and I lost interest in pretty much anything that was out there.. I guess I grew out of the music scene and evolved away from anything new.. Listened to the XM Radio live channel showed that there were a lot of groups I missed out because American radio doesn't play them.. A lot of the groups I have gotten into recently have been accidental, either by way of a search when looking for a video or looking for music on so many music sites on the internet.. Some were groups I have gotten in a package deal with a download of songs by groups I wanted.. Then I tried to give these groups a listen and got blown away by how really good they are.. And no I'm not talking about any group from America, there are more from Europe and Australia than anywhere else..
