I had the rift from Steely Dan's "Bodhisattva" in my head earlier today, so have my headphones on and am cruising with "Countdown to Ecstasy", a cup of cocoa.  It's hell getting old.

I cant think of any off the cuff, I know of plenty prior to 1999, I guess shit music just cant handle a proper extension?

How does our latest generation stand out amongst the song writers before them? I found one example, not to all liking, but just a comparison from old to new.🙂

I live in Bueng Kan province. I am English, from Suffolk. My hobby has always been music and I embrace that by mixing and DJ’ing. My love for house music through the decades has seen me spend weeks in Ibiza and other areas that have become popular with the genre.

I have a studio here in Bueng Kan and spend hours mixing music but I really miss a live performance. I play expat parties sometimes in Pattaya but on the whole the Thai’s embrace their own music styles, especially here in Isan.

I thought I’d put out a message to anyone that might like a house music DJ to come and play at a party or event.

I don’t charge. I just love playing to an enthusiastic crowd. But if the distance meant a stop-over, I guess a contribution to some fuel and a resort room would be nice 👌

I play old skool anthems and more recent bangers from Ibiza and beyond. A typical set is 4 hours.

I do have an hour or so of Thai/isan favourites that I can slot into the middle of my set if you have Thai guests. The Thai’s at my events seem to love that section.

If you are a bar owner I can advise (from experience here) on the best way to attract an audience.

Oh! Just one thing. It would be a “house music” evening. I’m not a (and never have been) a wedding DJ so with the exception of the Thai hour (if required) any requests on the night for ABBA, Taylor swift, Village People etc will be greeted with the response they deserve. 😂

I have all event equipment required to fill a room or terrace with sound. Be warned, I play loud! Just need power and a decent WiFi connection for streaming from my library’s.

My Thai wattsapp is 0950 250178 - Line ID is chris15559

Bucket hats and glow sticks at the ready 🕺🏻 💃 😁!!! Let me know if anyone might be interested.

Thanks for reading 🙏

Chris

I was fortunate to see him live in a small lounge type venue in Chicago back in the late 90's along with Peter Green, himself an ex-Blues Breakers member.

Parchman Farm off of the '66 Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton LP.

Those that grew up in the 20th century know what I mean,

The Beatles.

The Doors.

Led Zeppelin.

The Rolling Stones.

Pink Floyd.

ACDC.

The Who.

Nirvana.

ABBA.

So I have been sequestered in Thailand for over 10 years, and I have no idea of 21st century bands that have had an influence on this current generation,

Lay some out for us to hear and learn from, I can give a couple of examples of bands I find influential from the 21st century, but that was from back in my time in Aus.

1 - Linkin Park

Was basically songs using an electric synthesizer to create the beat/rythem, Gary Numan was a pioneer in this form back in the 1970's

Absolute legend and a great Canadian, up there with Gretzky, Dan Aykroyd, Neil Young, William Shatner and Tim Horton 🇨🇦🍁

Perhaps nobody will read this, hidden away here on a music thread, but I wanted to post a tribute. Great singer songwriter and a rare musical genius. R.I.P.

Never been into that type of music but now and again some band/singer produces something i like, Best to have a wide listening variety after all. If you don't taste it you will never know if you like it?.
