Yeah, they are great. An Icelandic band.
The song Little Talks reminds a bit of this one:

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros - Home

(The 60's - when our parents were young..or maybe even some of you were..... PS: I know that this song/band isn't from the 60's, but anyway...)




When I feel shitty I often put on the song above, and think that; regardless what a crappy day I might have had, I can always go; Home. :p )



Another song that I often put on in the Ipod, when I wake up to a slushy/muddy ice-cold November morning, with an overcast that almost touch my head when I go off for work, is this one....and I break-dance down the sidewalk Tongue ;

Patti LaBelle & Joss Stone - Stir It Up

Len - Steal My Sunshine




Great laid-back song. They reminds a bit of the bands around these days; Bloodhound Gang, Ugly Kid Joe, Laid Back. CrashTestDummies. They were around at the same time. Surf-dudes, partying, laid-back, careless, bands.
For some reason a friend of mine "fell in love" with that chick singing the chorus in that song Steal My Sunshine, back in the days, (Sharon Costanzo she's called.....and yeah, I had to look it up. :p).

Well anyway, here is some Bloodhound Gang that you might remember;


Bloodhound Gang - Fire Water Burn






Bloodhound Gang - The Ballad Of Chasey Lain
(NSFW Not Suited For Work.....or children...or SJW's...OMG the SJW's would have murdered these guys today....)





Laid Back - Baker Man




Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You







CrashTestDummies - MMMM MMMMM

Patti LaBelle & Joss Stone - Stir It Up




Not sure how Joss Stone could have been on that track in 1985 as she was born in 1987 - unless it's another Joss Stone?

Oh ... ok ... it should have been this one:

It is  that one, but it is with the original music-video made for Beverly Hills Cop.
As it says; Patti LaBelle & Joss Stone - Stir It Up

Original was just; Patti LaBelle - Stir It Up

Tommy James & The Shondells - Crystal Blue Persuasion

Hey, yeah, that song does have a similar melody to Little Talks, and is a catchy song in its own right. Nice find.

Yes! I've been listening to a 90s playlist with over a hundred songs in it on YouTube for the past week or so...

Funny you should mention that... Blush

I remember it well! Great song.

Now this one I hadn't heard before, or at least didn't remember.

(2017-08-24, 08:20 PM)Pollux Wrote: Laid Back - Baker Man

Likewise.

Oh, yes, who could forget this one?

A suggestion (carried over from Skeptiko): even though there are half as many posts per page here as on Skeptiko, if we embed multiple videos per post, we run the risk of sluggish/crashed browsers anyway. Perhaps we could all try to embed no more than one video per post, or, if we want to post multiple vids in a post, to use links rather than embedding? And maybe we could try to avoid quoting embedded videos?

I love her rendition of Wayfaring Stranger:

'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
