What song are you listening to right now?

[Callistemon]

And here's a female voice I love - Scottish singer, who actually performed in our little remote South Coast town several times and I also met her briefly - she only comes up to my armpits, but what a voice...

Brett says he votes for Strange Days for his fave, he says it's weirder and shorter both.

The album or the song? .......first two albums are my favorite.

Strange days was an early song. I don't think it was ever preformed live, or atleast not recorded, then a tape surfaced some years ago, of an early show. I think this might be the only live performance.

1966. Sunset strip. London Fog, was where I think they played, a few DOORS up, from Whiskey a Go Go. After they got kicked out.

Oh look, there's Robert Smith filling in for the previous Banshee guitarist!

Oh yes. This is before they had a little falling out. And they got along so great up until then!

I love how certain music/bands "strike a chord" (no pun intended) in different people. For example, I'm moved more by VU (or Patti Smith for that matter) than I am The Doors even though I can appreciate The Doors.

From an absolutely epic album.

I listened to a velvet underground album, once. It did nothing for me. Yeah the one with the banana, that one.
Patti Smith, I like her stuff better. But still wouldn't call myself a fan of hers. Dolly, I'll pass. Musically I think she's a a complete and utter bust. Now White Stripes! on the other hand, that's different, finally something with muscle. They got a few good hard rock tunes.

For E.g. 7 Nation Army

I was blown away when I heard this song for the first time in a hotel room on an Indian Reservation in 1992.
