What can I say? Spring is in the air. Yes, this is a thread about those things that remind of us spring. Start with vernal celebrations; tulip festivals and cherry blossom festivals, Easter and Earth Day, May Day, which is also known as the Beltane, a Celtic celebration of fertility. Naturally, there wouldn't be much in the way of fertility without love and lust, so let's play lots of love songs. Other things that remind us of spring? For me there is planting, pruning and mulching the flower beds, kidding goats and hatching eggs, the return of insects and migratory birds. I saw the first butterflies yesterday afternoon while repairing a fence. For others it may mean heading for lakes and rivers to take advantage of the pre-spawn feeding frenzies, or, perhaps, tuning up a motorcycle before taking it out on the road. It can even be a type of music. For some reason, I also associate spring with riding around in a convertible with Motown playing on the radio. In a way, this is an open thread so take it where you will. Please Recommend!

We'll be a month into Spring in a few days and everything'll be in bloom soon. The beautiful greens, reds, blues, purples, yellows, and every color you can think of will be everywhere for us to feast our eyes on. Here at VVV we'll be feasting our ears on songs and bands with the names of colors in them, and as a Spring bonus for all of you with a green thumb, any songs with the words Blooming and Growing in the title and lyrics too! It's musical harvest time! It's Open Thread so you can plant any Rock tunes you'd like us to hear in this Rockin' Garden. Please mind our House Rules so we don't have to yank you out like a weed and toss you on the compost pile. LOL Someone once pointed out to me that men can actually be right once in a while. I know! I was shocked too. LOL... All kidding aside gentlemen, this is your weekend to celebrate that men can be right once in a while and that we women cannot live without you. I thought this weekend would be a good time to post the songs and videos by our favorite dudes or about our favorite dudes...all kinds of dudes.. This is your weekend guys, and ladies, post your favorite songs celebrating the men you love, the great men, the not so great ones LOL -all of them. Let's celebrate the Rock Gods, the bad boys, the good guys ..men!!!! BTW April 17th is also HUSBAND APPRECIATION DAY. So all you wives out there give your sweeties some extra love today! Let's celebrate all the men in our lives, brothers, friends, dads, granddads...all of them. MEN ROCK!!!!!
So let's get the party started. Feel free to sing along and dance- YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO... ;-) Today, we're looking for songs about sweet stuff, sugar, chocolate, sweet drinks, candy etc. If it's hot, sweet or sticky, we want to see it and hear it (as long as it won't get us shut down LOL) Bands with sweet things in their name will do just fine as well..... who doesn't like Dirty Honey? So grab your sweetie pie and a drink and help us kick off a rockin' weekend! If'n ya don't like theme, that's ok too as we are always open thread... even Joey is jammin' Peace Love and Rock!!!
Happy Hump Day, Triple V! Tonight's thread is about Proper Nouns...the actual name we put on things... People... Places... and Things... This one opens up a ton of Doors...literally... So...give it a name...go ahead. Hang on, if you don't feelin' like taking part of my naming convention, then that's OK too. Just post up what yer jamming to tonight. Funny gifs and pics will earn you Triple V points...redeemable at our online store....hehehe...who am I kidding? Have fun, no drama and play nice...it's all we ask. Being caged up this time of year is a real drag. I should be out doin' my thing with my waders on enjoying the river flowing between my boots. In the meantime I have been dreaming about the water. Lovely dreams, but it's breaking my heart, I need to get out there! All I can do at the moment is dedicate this thread to being next to or in the water. Whether it be the ocean, lake, river, or even to be relaxing on the beach. To help ease my feeling of loss, I am asking for us to post songs about different bodies of water, the creatures that call it home whether they live in or out and around the water, the activities we enjoy in and around the water, and anything else that has to do with our bodies of water. The sand, the structure around and in the water, the sights, the smell and feel, etc. If you are not the outdoorsy type and the water gives you the willies, I can dig that! VVV is always an open thread. Meaning, post whatever Rock tunes you wish to share. Post funny memes, pics, or gifs. Tell us about one of your favorite concerts you ever saw. Those stories Rock the most! One last thing before we hit the water. Please have fun and follow VVV's Golden Rules. PLEASE RECOMMEND Supernatural - Existence beyond the visible universe. Not subject to the laws of nature. The paranormal. Angels, demons and ghosts. Magic, telekinesis and ESP. Fortune telling. Superstition - Trust in magic or chance. A belief in fate, luck and prophecy, talismans and hexes. Take it where you will. Don't like the theme? That's cool. It's always an open thread at The Triple V, so just play the music that you love. Recommend! Huh? Yes my fellow Veegers, another weekend's in the can and it's time to make the donuts again. I never did like that ratio - 5 days working and 2 days off, but the world won't spin so good if people don't work. It's time to pay a musical tribute to working folks and their different jobs, both useful and useless, legal and illegal. There's an extra day's pay for any songs with the word Work, Money, or Pay in them for any enterprising individuals here, of which I'm not one of. Time to punch in! For anybody here that doesn't feel like breakin' a sweat and goin' along with the theme, it's an Open Thread so just load up any good Rock songs that you'd like to share with us. We ask you to follow our Workplace Rules so nobody gets docked or even sent on unpaid leave. If you tap the heart and Recommend us you'll become eligible to be named VVV's Employee Of The Month! Imagine that! Good evening, all! Looks like things are starting to warm up (at least where I live, it is). So for this weekend we’re gonna do something fun and simple. Just (individually) post your songs in alphabetical order. Start with a song that starts with A, then one that starts with B, then C, etc. Now if you’re lazy, a 1st grade dropout (I kid), or simply not enthralled with the topic, then simply post songs that you like. This is an open thread. Enjoy. :-)
What's your favorite instrument? Guitar, piano, drums? Or do you like bongos, gongs and cowbells? Boozoo Bajou is a German band noted for their distinct blend of Cajun sounds with island rhythms. Very cool and i hear new sounds every time i listen to their stuff. I also love that they collaborated with Tony Joe White, a personal favorite. Give a good listen to this one by Manfred Mann... Their use of percussion instruments is just mesmerizing. Today, let's post songs with great sounding instruments in them... the cowbell songs and the guitar or drum solos-or songs with instruments in the title or lyrics. So, let's hear your favorite tunes with great guitar riffs or awesome cowbells and flutes. As always we're open thread here on VVV so if'n ya don't like the theme--it's going in your file and we'll deal with you later...but for today we're here to have a good drama free time so post your favorites with or without instruments.
Peace, Love and Rock........... |
