This song came up on my newest playlist, which is now 1,355 songs and 91 hours long. That seems like a crazy number of songs, but bands keep releasing good music and you lovely folks of DUAN keep introducing me to yet more good tunes. I get through the full list in about a week and a half, but I had totally forgotten about this tune, Brasstronaut, by Hawk. It is the only music I have from them.
“Been having this feeling since I was a young man
No one slowing me down
Who really cares if I’m such a narcissist?
I don’t make it there when you’re not around
I don’t want to talk about my feelings
Just wana try”
Hit me with your Astronaut, Brass, or Hawk themed tunes, or any related or unrelated music. It’s a FREE FOR ALL tonight, have at it!
astronauts are cool n all..but im more of a space cadet
Good to see you here!
I was still awake 🙂
But thank you
i may be a little slow on the uptake….but every now and then i get the impression eminem might have some issues…
I had a request for “not-English metal with not-too-harsh vocals”
And a Russian band I found when we were doing the folk metal thing:
Thank you! This may go under the heading of “be careful what you asked for.” 😜 I think the folk metal may be more my speed? But I generally like music from Japan, and someone turned us all onto Japanese jazz the other week. So I can listen to Babymetal, too. Now there is yet another musical path to travel!
…I’m still amused that Rammstein qualify as not-too-harsh vocals
…clearly I have much to learn
I also had a request for “metal with operatic vocals.” I initially thought of early Queensryche:
But you can’t get much more “operatic” than a classically-trained soprano:
I love a lot of Queensryche songs! They had a song that was introduced to me about 12 years ago that reminded me of “Hysteria” by Def Leppard that I can’t find for the life of me.
ooo ill join the party
tbh…i wasnt sure if i should put it with operatic vocals…or not to harsh foreignese vocals above…its in the middle
I sort of cringe when Captain Kirk the original sings. But hey, at least he is versatile?
Astronauts go to the moon, and it has brass. 2 out of 3
Donkey – Two On the Moon
You are right, two out of three ain’t bad:
nice tune hannibal!
Ass Ponys- Astronaut
Good tunes, on point.
Lemon Jelly – Space Walk
Declan McKenna – Be an Astronaut (Live Video)
Also on point!
Billy Bragg’s first band. Riff Raff – I Wanna Be A Cosmonaut.
And this is why we need KB to have headphones that do not leak sound… but good theme choice!
Et tu, Brute?
poor kettle…
No brass but how about some Gold?
Nailed it, indeed!
Cool to be you…too!
The Police – Walking on the Moon
Yes!
A great cover that Keitel will appreciate…
You are correct.
Perfect!
and,
Deep Purple – Space Truckin
The Kinks – Supersonic Rocket Ship
There’s gonna be clear, dark skies here on the farm tonight. I will be traveling off-world.
Nice!
I like Craker!
…I don’t know if I’m surprised no one picked this already or disappointed I didn’t have a more original suggestion?
The low hanging fruit was just waiting for you to pick it!
Loved that album!
I LOVE this song. I’ll never forget the first time I heard it.
I’m the Urban Spaceman
Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
Good choice!
There used to be, floating around the Interwebz, a hilarious side-by-side photo of Geraldine Ferraro addressing the 1984 Democratic Convention alongside David Bowie singing “Major Tom” a few years after the song came out. The reader was asked to guess who was who. It seems to have vanished. This isn’t nearly as funny but it’s all I could find. Somewhat astronaut-themed, right? Plus, my second mention of Geraldine Ferraro today!
