'bringing on the heartbreak' . . . is taking me there.

I remember being a tween hatch in 82 and seeing that video and I'm going to be honest, it moved me
I can't really remember why, but whenever it came on MTV, it was a very visceral feeling. Pyromania came out the next year and was the only thing I wanted for my 12th birthday

I just found out Mariah Carey did a cover of it in 2002?!?

I saw them headline a show at Jiffy Lube a few years back with Tesla and somebody else and they were totally entertaining and rocking. Cougars were going bananas.

^ Styx, they were completely weak sauce. So much plastic surgery on one stage, totally frightening.

^ the very same line up came back the following year with REO Chuck Wagon in the Styx slot.
Pass pass pass.

^ I'm sure the folks that will admit to being boomers had a lovely time. I, however, will continue my charade of youthfulness.

Enjoying the prince Grammy thing ( when did they make this?)
Having hoffs do manic Monday was tight
And criminal that they didn’t get Sinead… instead we got the worst rendition I’ve ever heard by John Legend

Morris and co brought it too

^ I'm saving this for tomorrow. Just finished the triple network virus concert thingy from whenever that was. Although they didn't knock it out of the park, it was cool to see the Rolling Stones from 4 separate locations doing You Can't Always Get What You Want. The Charliecam was best.

can confirm!

The Cure - Acoustic Hits


A treat for Cure fans

Not sure how the fans on this board missed this box set

Although I can't seem to get it to play, these aren't cassettes?

Prince - around the world in a day

Abba - the second or third album with SOS, Mamma Mia, I do I do I do I do I do. Every tune on there is a teenage Symphony to God, or whatever Brian or Phil said.

Prince's Around the World in a Day, is one of the greatest albums of my life,time.

The new* official JGB release with Clarence Clemons blowing on the sax.

*this recording has circulated for years

Watched the Prince tribute as well some hits, some misses and some blah and yes I chopped a bunch of onions while watching it. 

My biggest take away was Prince worked with some bad ass women.  Shelia E was on fire and Wendy nailed that Purple Rain solo. 

While Mavis Staples is one of my favorite singers, didn't think the version of Purple Rain suited her style of singing. 

Saint Cloud - Waxahachtee

Can't get enough of this.

First time in a while I've heard a singer mention her typewriter in a song.

The angry growlers sound a little forced but he slow pretty songs are nice.

I need to listen more than once!

But am digging it

The guitarist at times sounds like Luna which is crazy

I guess it being four years from her last album means I really welcome it

Shades of Bob Dylan’s Time out of mind too

Back from the grave

AFTER THE CURTAIN CALL — AN ENCORE!
We are thrilled to announce that 8tracks will resume streaming from its website, effective immediately.


TL;DR:  The 8tracks platform & brand are now owned & operated by BackBeat Inc., a new startup which acquired a portion of 8tracks’ assets during its wind-down earlier this year.

While certain music will not be available due to licensing restrictions, most existing playlists will be available to stream, beginning today.

If you still have the iOS app on your device, it will work out of the box. Otherwise, we’ll be re-introducing the 8tracks mobile apps and playlist creation (and perhaps a few new surprises) in the months ahead.
