I recently found bits and pieces of the musical **Six** on YouTube. So I’ve got bits and pieces of roughly two-thirds of the songs looping in my brain. Oddly, I first heard of **Six** in a video about one of the costumes being taken into the V&A Museum. ---

70s Chicago and 70s prog-rock with female vocalists, but lately, Terry Kath-era Chicago (regardless of who is singing)… I think the documentaries on Terry and the band got me to listen to all their albums (up to 1981, a few years after Terry’s death), and wow… I’ve known about them my entire life, and have these phases where I become more and more of a fan. I read all three books available, every old magazine I could find, etc… Here’s another great “deep track”… Don’t fast-forward, be patient 🙂 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/SSoDD-jynjs/maxresdefault.jpg "Oh, Thank You Great Spirit") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSoDD-jynjs) ---

However, there’s a problem: at 0.29, to take one example (“That you’re tired of yourself and all of your creations”), there’s a snippet of the tune that reminds me of Danny Boy. That’s starting to bother me. j ---

Don Willens, the British mountain climber said he climbed the most difficult Peruvian mountain, Chacraraju with _‘Brown Girl in the Ring’_ in his head driving him crazy.

I’m a huge Deep Purple fan. But one of their songs will be on repeat in my brain if I hear it. Yesterday while grocery shopping, that song played over the sound system in the store. Nothing I could do, it’s back for it’s 149th repeat. The song is Perfect Strangers. ---

Astrid by glaive. the chaotic pop coming from it as well as the hyperpop aspect of it is implemented very well, namely Glaive’s use of auto tune. i also like the guitar instrumental going on through out the song. its a nice balance between the chaotic and calm. great stuff. ---

Chapel Hart - You can have him Jolene. I saw them perform on America’s got Talent (on Facebook) I always liked the original but I really liked their performance of their original song. It has some very catchy lyrics and music, in my opinion. I have been humming it since I first heard it. “Well since the last song I’ve had time to think it over A lot of tears, a lot a beer, a lot of wine” ---

I’ve been listening the album _Are You Experienced_ by Jimi Hendrix over the past few weeks while I work in the barn. Great album, but the songs swim around in my head all the time. Right now _Fire_ is playing in my head over and over. ---
