Top Tunes!

[fsn]

From the opera "Rinaldo". Written by a German in Italian for the London stage. How does that work? 

I think the only thing that matters is that it works. 

Danielle De Niese can sing me to sleep anytime she likes, though.

I'd rather she sings me awake!

Then of course there's Mozart and Katherine Jenkins.

I Promised myself I wouldn't inflict my music choice on others. However, I didn't listen 

I'm going to answer this in 2 posts. (sorry for any repeats, there have already been some really, really good recommendations. I love picking up new music this way!)

First post is all the wargaming tues. I figured ones I like listening to while paining were best sorted by what I'm paining.

WW1/RCW Russain armies:

(bit of a no brainer!)

or this:

 

Fantasy stuff: (anything from this album, but this track especially)

or these guys if I'm needing something cheezy:

I am also working on some cold war stuff, so these tunes (which some of you may recognise form a certain film) end up getting played a lot too...

But also these because hey, they're east german

aaaaaand Post 2 is just going to be me tune spamming y'all

An absolute banger:

this one always makes me laugh and I'm not sure why, but it draws some funny looks when I crack up in the middle of town, chuckling to myslef:

Mis colegas (my mates 'en espanol')

and this one was a good find on eurovision last year:

this is really some 'worthwhile' 3rd wave ska:

and the sax solo from this is pretty damn good:

Finally an all time favourite, as well as one of Douglas Adams'

Elvis Costello meets Special AKA methinks

Yeh, it has that vibe to it. Apparently Costello actually did some producing for the specials for a while.

There are in my life a few superlatives. Sean Connery in films; Centurions in the tank world and, of course Pendraken in miniatures. In popular music, there's one band that I can listen to at any time ... the fantastic Fleetwood Mac!

"Rumours" by Fleetwood Mac - memories of Aeron Hall and The College of Librarianship at Llanbadarn Fawr. Good old Aberystwyth, a place with two types of weather - raining and about to rain!

[Nouseforausername]

the weather was exactly the same at Bangor Uni   I hear that Aber and Bangor and most of North wales is getting pretty hammered atm (and not in the good sence)

Fleetwood mac- the choice of my housemate when coming back drunk as a skunk. I learned most of the lyrics to the rumors album through the base of my mattress...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

My step bro is at Aber and lives in Aberdovey. He says its been ROUGH!

[goat major]

yes its quite disconcerting to see my old hall of residence on the seafront at Aber getting a battering over the last month. Mind you when i lived there i do remember pebbles from the beach being thrown up against third floor windows by waves - so its never been the most tranquil of spots in winter.

In the meantime i'm currently listening to The 45s - a cracking young R&B outfit from Carlisle - very Dr Feelgood!

[Bishop Lord]

Loads of good tunes already posted. Here's some I rather enjoy

First off Watersons 'Good old way' rumoured to be base on an ECW song (?)

Next one to sing along to( go on, you know you want to)

Now for a bit of culture(once the silly lady at the start gets out of the way!!)

Jason.

[Ithoriel]

Ralph McTell's tribute to Maddy Prior - "Maddy Dances"

and the lady herself in action with the rest of Steeleye Span doing "Cam' ye o'er fae France"

More memories from Aberystwyth

[nikharwood]

That is all.
