  1. Seeing as it has been brought to my attention recently that some people were too intimidated by assholes to post to the original DUAN site…and it has been mentioned to me from certain people since we started DUAN on DeadspinRIP and here on Deadsplinter that they feel uncomfortable trying to measure up when posting songs…

    …and that the new team responsible for DUAN here on Deadsplinter seems adamant to ensure EVERYONE is loved regardless of theme or genre choice, I’m going to go out of my way to post a song that has nothing to do with anything save for the fact that it’s just one of my favourite songs (again) right now…Burning In Love by Honeymoon Suite:

      • YES! I’ve been listening to the entire album on repeat all day as I go about my business.

      • Mr Blacksmith and I have had a lovely day drinking Irish coffees and listening to music. Here’s a little romance for the evening:

    • Yes! Man, haven’t heard that in forever.

  2. Whatever your tastes are please join in. Like Myopicprophet said this is a no asshole zone. Who else am I going to tell that I love this song.

    • I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that song rocks.

  3. I’ll stay on theme. But only because it gives me a chance to post the great Betty Davis.

  4. DUAN has no rules except the asshole one. Where else can I unapologetically share my favorite Anne Murray song?

    And, originally DUAN was established as anything goes posting. Not just music.

    • I never heard this before, I always liked her voice.

      • It sounds great when she’s not singing about Jesus. And even when she does.

    • Ok but what is your favourite Rita McNeil song?

      • Cape Breton’s golden voice.

    • Anne Murray was one of my BFF’s mom’s favorites…takes me back to their paneled basement and record player…

  5. Thank you, Myopicprophet and Keitel, for reinforcing that DUAN is a safe place for music lovers of all tastes. Whatever moves you is all that matters!

    It also allows me to safely admit that I love ABBA!!!
    …and Lemmy loved ABBA, too!

    • I’m ashamed to say that in my “hipper than everyone” youth I looked down on Abba. I’m glad I’m now uncool enough to enjoy them!

    • Well it should definitely not go unsaid that if not for you, it would not have been reinforced…and…if you lot didn’t just take over DUAN for us, you’d be subjected to a lot of shit like this:

      …and I feel no shame!

      • I’m starting your lack of shame, lol.

      • How quickly we forget that Air Supply was huge in its day!
        There was also a year or two period when you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing this catchy little tune!

        • Instead of posting here “Islands in the Stream,” I’ll simply suggest we change tonight’s theme to “shameless cheese.”

        • They even got their own t.v. show co-starring Dave Letterman.

          • It is 100% a real thing that happened, yes, Hannibal.

      • I’ve always thought “Air Supply” was a cool band name. It’s cut short by the fact that its Air Supply’s name.

    • Anyone who doesn’t love Abba has no soul.

    • ABBA is sounds of my childhood – my mom loved them! (and I remember most of the words!)

      Money, Money, Money is one of my favourites.

  6. Yeah they look stupid, but this guy has a great voice:

  7. Left yoga all zen like then got hit with this on the Spotify…

    • Love Sturgill Simpson! He graduated from the same HS as Shaun King, and I think they’re roughly the same age. I wonder if they knew each other?

  8. Because I said I was going to do the 12days of Xmas thing, I have to play my favorite satire metal Xmas song…

  9. Nobody should be intimidated by what people post, I like to try to post something I found that other people may not have yet discovered but I don’t judge other peoples choices since mine run from classical to metal, Hawaiian to Afro-Cuban, Reggae to Polka & everything in between. Recently I have been listening to too much of this bands covers of Van Halen & their Hall & Oats cover album.

    • I heard this on local NPR station a couple of weeks ago. I love it!

  10. …if we’re going for the full when-I-was-young-&-din’t-know-no-better thing I guess I can admit that the first album anyone bought little ol’ jake back in the hazy mists of time we call the ’80’s was…well…

    …y’all promised not to judge – remember?

    • Video won’t play, says it unavailable in my country. 😒

      • …I’m not as slick as myo so I haven’t managed to embed it but your link works now…
        …& opens in a new tab like we’re supposed to remember to…

        …& I once spent time in a house in manchester that had “free ian brown” painted on the wall that faced the street…
        …so maybe I was cool once, too…

  11. Not gonna lie, this has been my Gambler 500 theme song for the winter rallies. This… playing out of a car without doors flying through some trees. xD

    (Explicit)

  12. The Wonder Years – Pillars of Salt

    Wow glad to see this place active like the original DUAN and thankful for all here making this a great place for music.

  13. Hey Boop, you been MIA too much, hope you are not working too hard.

    • Thanks Loveshaq, yeah work has been a lot lately. End of the school semester and night school. I’ll be around more again.

  14. Ok, just don’t be that guy….

  15. I was gonna go with Knock Three Times, but instead it’s everyone’s 2nd favorite 1970s family of kids, the DeFrancos.
