Guest Vern Edwards Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Not strictly a kosher contracting topic, but what the heck. Band: The Gaslight Anthem Song: "Changing of the Guards" Album: "Chimes of Freedom" (January 2012) Review: Five stars. It rocks! Sensational. Best version ever, with the possible exception of Patti Smith's awesome version on her 2007 album, "Twelve," which for some reason is not available on iTunes, but is available at Amazon. The lyrics of that song are among the greatest in all of rock music. Historical. Mystical. Religious. Apocalyptic. ("A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.") The Gaslight Anthem leave out the last verse, which some have objected to, but I think it works for their version. Favorite line: "Gentlemen, he said I don’t need your organization, I’ve shined your shoes I’ve moved your mountains and marked your cards But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards." I guess I'd better quit fooling around and do my real work before my editor sends assassins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajuncharlie Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 OK topic. Going through a big band swing phase. Listening to a CD box set called "GI Jukebox," music of the WWII and pre-war years, rediscovered Armed Forces Radio recordings digitally remastered.

govtacct02 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Fitz and the Tantrums - a little poppy but catchy - sounds a bit like a cross between Hall & Oates, classic Motown, and The Style Council. Anything by Pat Metheny Flamenco guitar (Ottmar Liebert, Strunz & Farah, Jesse Cook,et al), bossa nova (Getz/Jobim/Gilberto), or afro-cuban (Buena Vista Social club, et al) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob7947 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I am updating the site and I remembered a solo by the late Clarence Clemens in the song Jungleland. The Clarence Clemons solo begins at 4:18. I often play the solo several times. It makes one's spirit smile. The music throughout the song is pretty good.

leo1102 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Here in my environment I am surrounded by loud people who have no consideration for anyone else within 100 feet. They use speaker phones, talk over cubicles and otherwise abandon common cubicle decorum. I bought Skull headphones, loaded over 150 CDs to my Samsung Galaxy Note II and now I can work in peace. Currently I am listening to the Jazz playlist which include Dave Koz, Clarence Clemons, Esperanza Spaulding, Geri Allen, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Haden, Harry Connick, Jr, Diana Krall, Chris Botti, Charlie Parker, Dave Brubeck, Charlie Mingus, Wynton Marsalis, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, and Herbie Hancock, just to name a few!!

Fear & Loathing in Contracting Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 My environment can be pretty loud as well. When I really need to concentrate: Mozart or just simple white noise on the head phones. Otherwise it's Blue Grass or Southern Fried Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
