@brian_gettler@mas.toThis is the first song that popped into my head for this week's #TuneTuesday theme: #VerdantVoices, songs tied to green or nature.
Another rose wilts in East Harlem
And uptown downtown
A thousand miles between us
...
Sound is the color I know,
Sound is what keeps me before…

@threeofus@mstdn.socialFor today’s #verdantvoices #tunetuesday I’m going for a track I inherited from dad. It’s Green Onions by Booker T and the MG’s.

I recently learned that #JessicaSanchez, the latest winner of #AGT several weeks ago, gave birth to her first child last week. To celebrate this blessing, here’s “Tonight”, her co…
@brian_gettler@mas.toAs we move into the darkest part of the year in the northern hemisphere, the #TuneTuesday theme this week is #BlackMagick: songs with references to the occult, dark powers, that old black magic. This tune, which describes an intolerable world while imagining a revolutionary response, fits the bill in my book …

“Problems” is the first song I heard from the American band Arizona and I took an instant liking to it. And for a song about mental health, it surprisingly sounds cheerful and upbeat. But I guess a bit of positivity can sometimes help when you’re feeling down. 🤗
P.S. I subsequently learned that keyboardist David Labuguen is Filipino-American and I thought that w…
@threeofus@mstdn.socialOk #TuneTuesday theme of #LoveYouLoveYouNot - songs you love but can't bear to listen to.
I’m struggling to relate to this one but it got me thinking about #ThomYorke,
@jake4480@c.im#TuneTuesday this week is #AnimalCalls. First ones that came to mind for me were the whinnies in Frontier Psychiatrist 🐎

I know #TheChemicalBrothers as a powerhouse in #techno music with songs like “Hey Boy Hey Girl” and “Block Rockin’ Beats”. So I was really surprised to hear their 2015 son…
@brian_gettler@mas.toMogwai, "Yes! I Am A Long Way From Home" (1997, remastered 2023)

@brian_gettler@mas.toThis week's #TuneTuesday theme is #IsThisEmo, songs that express or make the listener feel sadness.
How about a classic from #Québec? It's about a guy who tries to go home, finds himself disoriented by eve…
@jake4480@c.imThis week's #TuneTuesday is #SteppingStoneSongs.
I've talked about this one here before, maybe a year ago, but it's always a good time for a re-up. 'Baby Food' is a 12 minute long song by Coil that *really* got me deep into the rabbithole that is weird electronic music.
@seav@en.osm.town#TuneTuesday (Nov 11)
#Madonna has produced a lot of music in over four decades—some good and some not my cup of tea. Among the good ones, “I’ll Remember”, from the soundtrack of the 1994 film With Honors, is definitely in my S tier of Madonna songs.
@brian_gettler@mas.toOne of several songs blending bliss and a refusal to go quietly that come to mind when thinking of today's #TuneTuesday theme, #PulsarTwin - music related to soul mates, romantic or otherwise.
Têtes Raides, "Ginette" (1997, live 2001)
@threeofus@mstdn.socialFor #TuneTuesday, we are invited to post music that lets loose our raging tempest inside: #RipAndTear
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
And you know it
And every time I scratch my nails
Down …

@seav@en.osm.town#TuneTuesday (Nov 4)
This week I’m choosing “Want You Back”, the lead single from #Haim’s 2017 album Something to Tell You. Aside from being a really good pop song, I’m fascinated with the one-shot music video featuring a deserted Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles. (Granted, the filming was quite earl…
@threeofus@mstdn.socialFor this #tunetuesday the theme is #animalcalls. Well this whole song must be an animal call since it’s sung by The Animals. I really love their style - they’re so cool, and the lead singer is positively fizzing with soul. I’m sorely tempted to get a suit like theirs 😎. In my mind’s eye, the l…
@brian_gettler@mas.toToday's #TuneTuesday theme is #RipAndTear, music that gives vent to our inner tempest. A little old-school hardcore does the trick for me.
Leatherface, "This Land" (1989)
@seav@en.osm.town#TuneTuesday (Dec 2)
One of my favorite EDM producers is #Chicane and one song of his that gives me nostalgia is “Love on the Run” from 2003.

@brian_gettler@mas.to#TuneTuesday this week asks for #AnimalCalls, songs with animal sounds or about animals. I'll go literal. This tune - the first off the first album by the best ever Québec trad group (on se bat-tu ?) - features a loon right off the top.
@threeofus@mstdn.socialSo it’s #nonlexicalvocals #tunetuesday and by pure coincidence I scrolled into this a moment ago. Every non-word in smooth criminal ordered by intensity. Genius.
@seav@en.osm.town#TuneTuesday (Oct 28)
I’m not sure how popular this song is in other countries, but Clair Marlo’s “‘Til They Take My Heart Away” from 1990 is pretty much guaranteed to be on the repertoire of Filipino cover bands and in the songbooks of karaoke machines in the #Philippines. 😄
@threeofus@mstdn.socialFor today’s #tunetuesday I’m wilfully misinterpreting the tag #steppingstonesongs as I want to use it to share the song which accompanied me as I left my abusive ex-wife of 20 years. I rediscovered freedom, joy, and my own identity and this was a key part of the soundtrack. Imagine me win…
@brian_gettler@mas.toSomehow, no one's posted any beatboxing yet. Nicole Paris and her pops.

@seav@en.osm.town#TuneTuesday (Nov 25)
#Lizzo’s “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” is such a bop and I can’t help liking its infectious energy! It certainly gives me 80s vibes because of the use of synths and especially with the key change for the final chorus. 🎧
@brian_gettler@mas.toToday's #TuneTuesday is #PedalPowerSongs, tunes about bikes. This is dangerous territory, involving two of my favorite things. I'll try to control myself.
Among other things, this tune is about the city wanting to kill those of us who aren't travelling by car.
