I probably should have mentioned this was 1978 - 1982.
No Telsa back then. lol
Wait!!! Yes there was but it was a rock band.
As our government idiots continue the lockdown I have disconnected my car battery.
Today I went down to connect it and give the car a charge for 10-15 minutes, so the waiting went by nicely with this one (caution, not for nerdy nerd nerd listeners) :

There is more to lockdown car care than keeping the battery charged.
Keep it clean so bird and insect droppings and tree sap, etc. doesn't sit on the paint too long. Don't let tires develop flat spots from sitting a long time. Keep the tank full to avoid accumulating moisture condensation and corrosion.
And if possible drive 20 minutes or so every week or two. That can help with several of the issues above including charging that battery. If possible get up to highway speeds part of the trip. That helps get everything lubed and exercised, and braking helps avoid crud and rust accumulation on the friction surfaces.
When we had our "hard" lockdowns I drove to a nearby small town to buy groceries. Fewer people spewing COVID, higher fraction wearing masks, and if a cop did nab me for "lockdown driving" I could be honest that I was out for essentials. There was a car wash next door to the store so once a month I did a quick spraydown.
What kind of lockdown did you have?!
A party lockdown?
I couldn't drive 10 blocks till last week and the fine was 300 euros.
Tomorrow we are opening for in city drives but we cannot leave the county.
I did those thing to the car except keep the tank full, as a 20 minutes drive per week could be done for 3 months with the tank almost on empty.
Anyhow in 15 days I think the lockdown will be over and I could go to the countryside, or they will require vaccination to hit the interstate so, I would have to.....Give them the finger and go on the alternative roads.But that is not for this thread.
Ha! Helloween were as Nerdy as Nerdy can possibly be. Pumpkins Fly Free!Quote:
caution, not for nerdy nerd nerd listeners
What we called a lockdown probably wouldn't amount to a minor nuisance in most other countries that locked down. Idaho had even less than what Dilettante is talking about. Our 'lockdown' was the governor asking people to stay home if they would be willing to...and the legislature is FURIOUS with him for even that much. There were no penalties for ANYTHING a person did. Some stores and restaurants were required to set quotas, and those may have been enforced, but they may have only been enforced if the store was willing to do so. If they weren't...well, that was okay, too.Quote:

Yaasss! Saw them when they opened for Styx and Def Leppard a few years back :)Quote:

Great someone caught the twist on my comment, my friend Funky :wave:
Today again my car drove me to the KTEO, that is the 2 year official check of your car , and of course as it was driving and I was thinking of how elections are coming and what I think of our traitors, I HAD to put this on:

Currently listening to the Halo 4 Soundtrack. Gaming soundtracks have come a long way, rivaling that of full length feature films.

Really, just a few years??? Styx broke up a long time ago. Or was this a Styx 2.0? lolQuote:

More new retro 80s, this one feels like it was made in approximately 1985 but it is decidely 2019. This fills my speakers at the moment as it is able to take me back to that particularly pleasant and poignant time for me, even though it is a modern song it takes me straight back there as it has all the elements of the 80s, a good riff, some bass at the right time, a good solid drum beat, sharps and flats and a Robert Smith-like vocals coupled with a bit of 80s cheesiness that works perfectly. Needs to be played loud first time to get the effect.

See it through to the end and you'll see what I mean.
Sound like an imitation of "The Cure" that I dearly detest but that's just me.
Surprisingly nothing extraordinary released in 1985 (except helloween and accept) but 80-90 was the kingdom or rock and metal.
Here is a 1984 relatively unknown song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg9aQvjMS60
How strange, I mentioned Robert smith and you thought it was Cure-like, minds obviously thinking alike. That is exactly what they were aiming for. However that analysis, is where we differ, the Cure is like a delicate Thai meal full of flavours and contrasts - compared to the burger and chips that is Iron Maiden and all its heavy metal ilk.
I'm not a heavy Maiden fan but you can't compare Cure to Maiden.
I don't, that is why one is Thai and the other is burger, no comparison!
Ugh! The cure is music to jump off a bridge to.
Also, there's a place in Bristol that sells Thai Burgers. They're really nice.
Oh, I'd like that combination. Location please!
In musical terms, that Thai/burger combination is perhaps more like this, that I am now listening to now for the umpteenth time:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCOSPtyZAPA
Yeah you do wonder what it was they were trying to Cure, for their music to be the answer?Quote:

Supposedly the Cure's most upbeat song, still very catchy.
Wing's Diner. They kept me going through more than a few lock down evenings.
I was definitely a rocker rather than a goth so, for me, the Cult were great from Electric onwards. Mind you, even before that they were one of the better goth bands in my opinion. I swear Ian Astbury was possessed by the ghost of Jim Morison.
We've got a place here in town that has a fantastic Sushi Burger.Quote:

With regard to the Cure, I rate this song highly, for the very long intro that is indicative of a cure track, the sharps and flats again that distinguish it from the run-of-the-mill ordinary rock track, the sadness of the lyrics fits a mood but there are lifting moments that raise your soul too. I find this sort of music takes some brain power to appreciate but if there is no intrinsic sadness in your soul it can be hard to appreciate.
Personally I find any sort of American-style hard rock to sound almost puerile by comparison. I am not stating that it is puerile, but for my brain it sounds simple to the point of idiocy and therefore too obvious to occupy my brain. This song by the Cure has layers, sounds, depth and definite sadness. Strangely, those are all 'positives' for my brain.

But I do like a good burger.
I wasn't suggesting you actually try it. Although it's still probably better than listening to the cure.Quote:

Anyway, I'm spending this evening falling down a You Tube Nostalgia Rabbit Hole which has currently led me to ACDC: Thunderstruck by way Motley Crue: Kickstart My Heart and Rammstein: Du Hast, among others. Survivor: Eye of the Tiger is on the suggestion list so I shall shortly commence shadow boxing round the dining room.
Stuff I listen to is probably "old folks'" music to most of you. Usually it has some casual connection to an event or times in my life. This just came up on my playlist:
https://youtu.be/9NxMlG3M40k
Yeah, that sort of thing is pretty out of style now.
Some have media tie-ins that draw me back into a story:

That story has similar overtones to the Bourne franchise:

It's frustrating how high and low can England get on music.

Hmmm, I rarely listen to actual music. If I do, it's something I must be in the mood for, doesn't really matter who made it or what exactly it's called. I do however often have Youtube video's such as Isaac Arthur, Nostalgia Critic , or just some silly cartoon playing in the background. If I really need to focus on something I prefer silence, if I think whatever is playing in the background sounds interesting I will take the time to really pay attention to it.
Some good Turkish Goth for you. Ten steps deeper from the Cure with regard to the dark vibes.
Best played with a bit of bass.

The 1992 Chinese rock band-Hei Bao(Black Panthers), lead singer Dou Wei.

Although the Hei-Bao(Panthers) still exists, but without the lead singer Dou Wei, the Hei-Bao(Panthers) has lost its former style and soul.
I remember early Speedwagon from my dorm days. Guys down the hall had a sick quadraphonic system and really cranked this one up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6_Sm4b5HX8
My PC speakers don't do it justice, and I almost think this CD was recorded from tape played slightly too slow on some crap machine.
Later the band morphed, doing fairly standard pop fare and re-released this song with less edge and crispness.
