What are you streaming tonight?

As we are in the modern age of music I thought I would see how this fares.
We have threads specific for cdp and tt so why not streaming as it is a modern media.
I don't care if you stream Tidal, Deezer, Spotify, Paradise Radio or any number of internet stations.
I would like you to share your tastes and method of streaming.

What can I say bdp24... Makes me proud to be English!

Btw nobody would ever call themselves British... It's either English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish.

And now for something completely different.......

Metal Jukebox ... Helloween.

Just to be in the right spirit for tonight.

Tidal

Big Kinks fan here. I have a very special affection for Village Green Preservation Society. It never gets old for me, and there are no filler songs. Great lyrics and songs.

I can see why some fans were turned off by the concept album thing. I didn't let it ruin my enjoyment of individual songs, but I would have been happier without it. Still, even an album as concept driven as Preservation Act II has some great songs. And don't forget Everybody's in Show Biz. It has great live and studio cuts.

Never realised there were so many avid Kinks fans round here.
Nice indeed!

Oops, sorry uberwaltz! I use the term in the old fashioned sense, as in "veddy British". I don't care for the Woodstock movie (I had no interest in going to it; sit in the dirt? No thanks ;-), but seeing The Who on stage in their fine Bri, I mean English, threads---ruffled shirts, lace, satin---in contrast to the hippie wear of the other bands, amuses me. I HATE to see guys on stage in T shirts and old blue jeans (or much worse, sweat pants). Have a little class, man. The Kinks always "dressed up" for the stage, and looked like Rock Stars, not farmers (as Cyril Jordan of The Flamin' Groovies described the other San Francisco bands).

Lol
I was going to go back and edit that post but was too late, as I realised it came off a bit stuffy!

So to clarify, it's fine to call bands or items British( unless it's a band made up of five drunken Scotsmen!).
But the people tend to get a bit squify if called British... Funny old blighters!

And yes the duds made a difference on stage and off it tbh.

A bit of class as you rightfully state.

Maybe should start a separate thread just for The Kinks!
