Youtube/Google Music forum

[Old and In the Way]

Anyone interested in seeing a forum where we can link music vids? Because we need a little break from the politics, right?

[queenbdem87]

1. If you want a break from the politics....then go to another website.

This website is about news and politics for dems....not a place where we can share music videos.

[Monkeyman]

3. I don't mind a good anti-war song

[Old and In the Way]

24. Here's a good anti-war song.....Simple Song of Freedom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQtk3yBdaEA This is why I love Youtube....a simple song about a universal idea by someone without any pretext of being a 'star'.


Here's Kevin Spacey doing Bobby Darin's greatest contribution to music-

4. Seriously...bite me.

Who are you to tell me what's acceptable here? Get a life.

[BurtWorm]

16. O&ITW, you can probably share links in the Lounge

There's usually a few good music links in there each year--er, I mean, every day. :blush:

Seriously, when I want to share a music suggestion, that's where I go. :smoke:

[Old and In the Way]

21. I'm sure that's the case, but....

why not have a forum dedicated just to good/interesting music? As you know, the lounge buries posts quickly...better to have a forum dedicated to interesting music.

[RedEarth]

5. Actually, that is not true....below is a list of some of the non political

groups on DU.....

and if you go to this link, you can find even more....

[vi5]

6. Uh....there's tons of non-political forums/groups on here...

Or have you not noticed that? In fact quite a lot of them. In fact the entire lounge is devoted to taking a break from discussing politics. Everything from religion to astrology to specific bands or musical artists.

It's a place where people who happen to be like minded politically can also take a break and talk about other things they enjoy in their lives with people who they know aren't going to freep out on them or where they know trolls and whatnot are unlikely.

[driver8]

8. Holy shit...chill out.

There are a lot of forums at DU that don't deal with politics.

With responses like that, no wonder the OP wants to discuss something else.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. Yes. Even the train conductor says

take a break, driver 8.

[asthmaticeog]

9. What if I'm OK with politics but I want to get away from prigs and scolds?

Where would you suggest? Or would you know?

[NJCher]

10. DU

...not a place where we can share music videos.

That was mean. I also don't think it's the case. DU appears to me to be a forum where Democrats and lefties of all types can come together to share thoughts on various issues, subjects, etc.




Cher

[Generic Other]

12. Since when?

If not for DUers I would never have heard Steve Earle, James Blunt, David Rovics, Pink, the Dixie Chicks, and many others.

Who knows? You hang around here long enough, you might learn some manners.

:eyes:

[AlwaysQuestion]

14. Hmmm

I'm very interested in human nature, as I'm sure many of us here are.....so I do wish you'd share with us your reason for sniping at OaITW.

[Old and In the Way]

15. Queenie....here's a great Youtube video that you ought to watch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxJNP3vSgrA

Part 4. Willie The Lion Smith honours Eddie Condon for having been the first musician to organize a recording session where both black and white musicians work together. He then starts to play and it comes together as a tune called I'm Confessin'.

This was recorded at Eddie Congdon's nightclub in 1963. It'a a very fascinating look at the state of progressive music in an ear that wasn't particularly progressive. You probably don't know Eddie Congdon, but he, along with guys like Jack Teagarden and Benny Goodman, were pretty goddam radical in their music and politics in the era of segregation. These guys, known as "teaheads" would refuse to accept accommodations that would not allow them to stay with their black bandmembers.

You really shouldn't making sweeping stupid statements....that's what we look to FreeRepublic, Lucianne, and Red States to provide.

Bonus-

Strutin' with Some Barbeque (that's 'Wild Bill" Davison on trumpet and Willie 'The Lion' Smith on piano...there's 5 total video segments if interested....serch 'boberwig' on youtube for some really great classical music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw85e8NATkk

[gollygee]

17. WRONG

that is all.

[Libby2]

26. Wow! Who died and made you boss?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

27. You Need To Get Out Of GD More. Seriously.

For someone who wants to act like a DU authority you certainly know very little about DU itself. Quite odd.

[pepperbear]

29. actually among other things, it is a place to share music videos

and after 159 posts, booboo, you're in no position to tell others what they should do.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Rather than responding to that little fart of nastiness, I will sing:

Old and in the way, that's what I heard them say
They used to heed the words he said, but that was yesterday
Gold will turn to gray and youth will fade away
They'll never care about you, call you old and in the way

Once I hear tell, he was happy
He had his share of friends and good times
Now, those friends have all passed on
He don't have a place called home
Looking back to a better day, feeling old and in the way



When just a boy, he left his home
Thought he'd have the world on a string
Now the years have come and gone
Through the streets he walks alone
Like the old dog gone astray, he's just old and in the way


...AND LEAVE IT ON! :hippie:

[Old and In the Way]

34. Far out!

The night I logged on for the 1st time, I happened to be listening to that very tune. Just seemed like the right handle.....

[Laurab]

33. WTF?????????????????

Taking your nick quite seriously, aren't you?

Incidentally, you're wrong.

[skipos]

2. DU may like the video for Jurassic 5 & Dave Matthews' "Work it Out"

Featuring GW Bush.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAqzj0OXZS8
No need to break from politics. :)

[Old and In the Way]

7. Cool!

Here's a great bluegrass version of Sam Bush doing "Is this Love"....gotta have some fun and exposure to all kinds of great music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otg0KNZZhso&search=bluegrass

[Old and In the Way]

11. Up a Lazy River - Louis Armstrong

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4TQsuI0pLU

How many have been exposed to Louis? Here's an OK rendition of "Up a Lazy River"...but there's a much better recorded version available.

[jarnocan]

28. thanks I LIKE your idea- as a valuable resource!!!!

it would be cool to have an ARTS forum, with divisions for political visual art, music, CHANTS? and poetry that can inspire. We post things from time to time, but that could be a resource for folks who need some inspiration or for planning an event.

[Hatalles]

13. "John the Revelator" and "Post 9/11 Blues"

John the Revelator
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaB1psXTjS4

Post 9/11 Blues
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKTsJpfC0IQ

[Old and In the Way]

19. Thanks for posting!

John the Revaltor is a powerful video. The message reflects exactly what we are saying here on DU...with a beat. This medium is extremely powerful and we ought to showcase the political and non-political....

[Mojorabbit]

25. Oh John the Revelator is a good one!!!

Thanks for turning me on to it.

[BurtWorm]

18. I've been watching these lately

13th Floor Elevators - You're Gonna Miss Me

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cYh5oMDlWwQ

Howlin Wolf - Shake For Me

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tPZXg8SoBck

David Bowie & Iggy Pop - Sister Midnight (On the Dinah Shore show!)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=AtXYOc8CdcY

[Old and In the Way]

20. Thanks...I grabbed that Howlin' Wolf videotune

For those that don't know...you can save the Youtube tunes direct to your PC and play them independently of Youtube....http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php

[Bjornsdotter]

22. I would

I think it would be great, all of the video recs would be in one place....easy to find.

Cheers :toast:

[Old and In the Way]

23. Sweet Georgia Brown.....hot!

You like your jazz hot and quick? Here's Sidney Bichet and Band doing SGB (1958...almost 50 years ago, jeeeesh, where's the time gone?)....check out the Bass guy (Avrell Shaw - played with Louis Armstrong) and the piano player (Sam Price)....they cook.

30. I vote yes. OaITW, can you write up a mission statement to make

it official?
