Music.

I've found myself listening to a bunch of Glam Rock and similar vintage material the past week or so. Mostly it started with re-listening to the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack [which I find so good], which lead me to listening to some Brian Eno, Velvet Underground, David Bowie, and Uriah Heep.

What have you listening to this week?

I'm a bit embarrassed to say I don't know any of that music you mentioned. Of course I've heard of some of them, but I tend to stick with the stuff I know I like.

It's frustrating that I don't have a lot time to explore new music. I add a few songs to my playlist to listen to in my car every few weeks, and rotate my music.

What are a few songs that you recommend I listen to from your list above? I'll add them and let you know what I think.

Here is one of my favourites.. Hands of time by Groove Armada

That was excellent! And a former almost-neighbor -- Ritchie Havens lived about a half dozen blocks from us 2012-2013, I used to walk past his house on the way to/from work.

(Warning: 1970s crazy fashion in some of these)

Try
Starman by David Bowie

Hot One by Shudder to Think from the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack

The Wizard by Uriah Heep

Heroin by The Velvet Underground

I'm glad you liked the song. I love Groove Armada, and they do some great collaborations like this one with Ritchie Havens. He's got a soulful voice. It's cool that he lived so close to you!

Thank you for the music choices, I will check them out.

Hey, so I've definitely decided that this music is not for me. I gave it a try, I really did... first I listened to the songs on Spotify, a few times (all except the David Bowie one as I know that one), and then I watched the YouTube links you sent. The ones with videos of themselves were definitely more interesting, and I enjoyed having the visuals more than the music alone. Love some of the hairdos! But overall, I can't really see myself singing along to these. Thank you though, I enjoy finding new music, and it's great to learn about what other people enjoy too.
