More music from people I’d never heard of, although this band is a spinoff from the toxic sibling rivalry in Oasis, a band I had heard of (and not always favorably). And Manchester is pretty cool, particularly in terms of music.

Hi, gummitch, I’ll be back in a few minutes, just gotta check my birthday thread…
Rolling Stone writes that Etta James is sinking fast. I hope she will have a smooth passage, if go she must.

Happy Birthday, Honey! Happy Birthday, RUC! And Happy Birthday, Ludwig!
Awesome song, gummitch!
Heard this one at the grocery the other day…
And we’re back…
Thanks for all of the well wishes below, all, and how is everyone tonight?
Kicking butt or taking names…. but I can’t spell wort a dam…. so…

I love this song, Turtle.
Yeah, this was my last term at university, I was in love with my best friend’s girl…. complex tale….. didn’t work out well for the Turtle , but we are still all friends 25 years later… this song takes me back there…
The sweetness of old heartache…
Manchester band 10cc…..

From the 1960s – Herman’s Hermits…. Oh those were the days, nice clean boys in suits…
Ebb must confess to a teenage (14) crush on the entire group.
It was the days of 45 rpm – we played A and B sides, over and over and over.. until my Mom took the needle out of the “portable” player.
Herman’s Hermits – No Milk Today
Manchester continued: New Order and Blue Monday…… this song was just…. too …. long……
Manchester again: the Hollies – Long Cool Woman…

Hans Zimmer – The Heroes anthem from Cool runnings
It’s Bobsled Time!
When Winter’s shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street
And your boots no longer lie about the cold around your feet
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete
Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat
When winter….. comes howling in.
When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music thru your head
and your rain splattered windows make you decide to stay in bed
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead
Or do you pull the bedclothes higher, dream of summertime instead?
When winter….. comes howling in.
The creeping cold has fingers, that caress without permission
And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the condition
Do you spare a thought for the gypsy with no secure position
Who’s turned and spurned by village and town, at the magistrate’s decision?
When winter….. comes howling in.
When the turkey’s in the oven, and the Christmas presents are bought
And Santa’s in his module, he’s an American astronaut
Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts,
Who gut busted just for talking, and befriending the wrong sorts?
When winter….. comes howling in.
When winter….. comes howling in.
Beautiful…
Elvis Costello called it ‘the perfect song’….. I play a lot of Lindisfarne this time of year…. I would go to their Christmas Concerts every year and showed up on one of their live album covers one year….
Here’s another one from them
The high school years…
Aled Jones is *not* from Manchester….. sorry…
Love love love The Snowman.
We still get hits on the post I did on the Snowman from last year. 🙂
Awesome music and story….. my friend Kate played me a piano version… wish I could remember who it was….. if she gets back in touch I’ll ask…
Good evening. I’ll start my riffs with this. Hope you enjoy.

here comes the late shift!!!! 🙂
Yes boys and girls it’s early here, but always remember…”be cool, and if you can’t be cool, be as cool as you can be.”
Hey, it’s the man with the candy. 😉
Yes little girl, name your choice 🙂
Heh.
Another posting for db…
I love that lassie’s vocal….. reminds me of the Irish lass I fell in love with…..oh my….
Then there are shredders. Try, just try to stay in your chair when you listen to this. Go on get up and..

Love it.
Whoah, kick butt….
I think there’s a movie coming about the Christmas Truce of 1914…… here’s a song about that time… so catchy..
sorry, just on a slow learning curve. Now I know how it’s done.
I’m off for the evening. Have fun all y’all.
Nighty night zoo, make sure you count the waves tobe sure they are all breaking on the shore….
wtf? weird. Sorry again
No need to add the html code, nwoldguy. Just copy & paste the YouTube address in the comments box. 🙂
When I do that the pic of the video doesn’t copy just the code. Right?
If you copy & paste the YouTube address, the video shows up in your comment. Is that what you’re asking?
but not here; only when you click on the address Comprende?
If you make the address a link, it would show up only as a link, and we would have to click on the link to view the video.
Saw that your second hit nw had some Robert Cray in the list on the right…. This might be my last one – nighty night all.
Robert Cray is always good to leave on TtT. Rest well.
How do I make the address not a link but the video pic you do all the time? Am I really this dense? Don’t answer that.
Heh, okay. 🙂
when you’re looking at the video on YouTube, just copy the address at the top of the page, and then paste it into your comment box here. Hit “sumbit” and the video should show after it processes.
Give it a try.
Zooey. Mon cherie. Darlin. The woman of all men’s fantasies, THAT’S WHAT I FUCKIN DO EVERTIME! and when I enter it at Zoo tools it becomes a LINK!
Don’t use the Zoo tools, dear! 😆
oh……..sheesh I have a headache
Only use Zoo tools if you WANT something to be a link; otherwise, just copy & paste directly into your comment box.
Try it — without the Zoo tools. Sorry, I didn’t realize you were using them.
The simplest is to copy the url then paste it here:
Thank you Ebb.
Mayer Hawthorne – The Walk
Shinedown Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom)
The Black Keys – Lonely Boy
For Zooey and Ebb for giving me a cane to get through the night…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf7fSCdQp3w
and it didn’t work. Excuse me I have to go find a gun.
Be kind to yourself, nwoldguy.
Communicating only via the written word is a BIG challenge.
Thanks, nwoldguy. 🙂
Bon nuit Queen Zoo, and thanks for sticking with it. All in all it doesn’t really matter except for the effort. I humbly give my teacher an organic Fuji apple. Enjoy!
Quite true. Thanks, nwoldguy. 🙂
Bam. Thanks again Ebb, and goodnight.
nwog: are you using a ‘real’ computer or one of those ‘hand held phone thingees’?
define real. No I’m kidding. It’s a desk top with Windows XP.
hmm, while you have the video playing in YouTube – copy the URL at the very top of the page…
then back here – paste it in a reply box on this page.
aw so, “while it’s playing”, that is a clue. Hang on let me try.
Well it really doesn’t have to be playing – it’s just easier to remember to go up and copy the entire URL.
Great choice!
The Walker Brothers – Make It Easy On Yourself
Iz ~ Hokule’a Star of Gladness
Lindsey Buckingham – Trouble (1981)
YES, YES. Love ya Ebb. I had always copied when the video WASN’T running.
Obviously I do not understand why it has to be running or not. Let me try again.
Now you’ve got it. 🙂
OMG I can go on with my life. Solution found. I owe ya Ebb.
This is almost as good as sex. Please notice the qualifier.
Heh, it’s like having a brand new toy.
I know who the real old man was.
oh crap what happened? No one answer.
*humming*
Not saying anything…
you wear coy well
One of my best qualities…
Louis Avilla
The real old man?
Stone Sour Bother
Layla – Live 1984 – Derek And The Dominos
Zoo; Yes. The published story is that Neil states it’s about his father-in-law. No, no, no. When Neil bought the land he calls the Broken Arrow ranch, with it came an elderly couple, Louis and his wife. Louis was Portugese and had worked this land for decades, and his wife made the best morning cake ever. Anyway, Neil decided to keep them on his newly purchased ranch, with full bennies. Where else were they do go? For that I will always respect the man.
That really is quite lovely. Thank you, nwoldguy.
