It's all a bit beyond me!  I learned to count on my fingers... gloves on/gloves off

lets stick to binary then - the image of you counting past 20 in base10 scares the crap out of me...

wow, I'm hearing so much new music here, great and following links to other stuff
-
Warman, hadnt heard him before, somehow led me on to The Models King Of Kings (more music from oz [edit: that I hadn't heard before]), which (again somehow) led me to Lost in a Forest by The Cure, and Love will tear us apart Joy Division (definitely a 1980-ish vibe going on for me still)

Finally, one of the strangest and most moving videos I've ever seen by Unkle called, Rabbit in your Headlights.

Yeah this is a great one. I've been a fan of Radiohead (whose lead singer, Thom Yorke, lends his vocals for Rabbit in Your Headlights) and when I heard this song, I purchased album. It's Psyence Fiction. The entire album is great, except for two songs (Drums of Death pts. 1 & 2) that were removed from my MP3 collection because I don't particularly care for rap.

Not only is the song cryptic and strange, but the video adds an entirely new dimension to the audio.

that was heavy going, really shocking really, glad something "good" happened in the end

Not sure I'd really call it a good ending, but I suppose you feel the same way and that's why you put it in quotes.

So sue me. I have a thing for girls in short skirts. (110 million views!)

Our attorneys will be in touch with you shortly...in the meantime, let's upgrade your short skirts a bit.

Here's Billy Idol with Cradle of Love - IMHO his best out of the three good songs he wrote. It features a rather intriguing model and bit-part actress named Betsy Lynne George as Devon (how 80's), the loli-girl down-the-hall neighbor. (Really! How 80's can you get?) I'd love it if he'd re-record this without that overproduced MTV sound. It wold be better as a straight rock guitar number. Maybe he could touch bases with Suzy Quattro and do it up right? Hmm...

Things to watch for:

1) Check out the vintage Mac IIci with the greyscale full-page display

2) That funky little shuffle-strut thing Betsy Lynn does at the 2:14 mark. She's famous for that move - go figure!

I understand that Ms. George no longer does film or video. She now teaches gymnastics.

@4WD
really enjoyed "Molly Hatchet - Fall Of The Peacemakers" (and they do a great version of Freebird)
and I think you got me listening to most of the Clash's London Calling on youtube. Rediscovered this one too - The Clash - Magnificent Seven - Tom Synder Show 1981
[edit/ forgot to add - 40hz this has to be one of the three best from Billy Idol ;-) Eyes Without a Face ]

for a bit more variety how about a bit of country George Jones & Elvis Costello - Stranger In The House (also 1981)

well,
it was a relief that the guy stopped being the way he had been. and didnt get killed.

But Southern Rock is the closest I'll ever get to listening to Country and/or Western. 

I (also) grew up with stuff like Christy Moore, a far cry from country but one thing can lead to another (go on have a listen - it wont bite ;-)
The Ballad of an Ordinary Man
Smoke And Strong Whiskey
City of Chicago

Any Trance & Ambience Fan here ?

hi mahesh, the idea is that you give us a couple of links

Any Trance & Ambience Fan here ?

In an Ambiance of alcohol I usually go into a Trance........does that count?

One of my favorites, and I'm not even much of a Fiona Apple fan. I admire the sentiment behind the song.

"If there was a better way to go then it would find me
  I can't help it the road just rolls out behind me
      Be kind to me or treat me mean
        I make the most of it - I'm an extraordinary machine "

(Note: This vid is live, and has a bit too much "dead air" at the beginning. FF to the 1:30 mark if you're impatient.)

I know this is not up everyone's alley, but here is one of the best videos of jazz available on youtube:

Great find! Nice to hear some decent jazz for a change.

A pretty song from a lovely woman with magnificent voice. She will be missed.

Vaya con Dios, Eva.
