Foreigner - Blue Morning, Blue Day
CPE Bach, symphony #4 in G major.
A few months ago I was listening to music in [brag]my Tesla Model S[/brag] and Slacker played Blue Morning, Blue Day and it instantly became my favorite. I had heard of Foreigner before but I never realized how many of their songs I liked until I sampled their No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner album.
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:

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.
In other words, they talked a strong line, but there was ZERO enforcement allowed, so it was meaningless, and by now it is clear that EVERY action in this area is purely voluntary.
Here's one of the better efforts of its ilk, but so far I haven't found any real standouts.

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.

Nothing beats the good ol' Amiga and some console soundtracks!!

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:

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.
