Happy Monday, everyone. The weekend's come and gone and so has Summer, 2020. It'll be officially laid to rest Tuesday, September 22, at 09:31 a.m. E.D.T., when the Autumnal Equinox happens and it's declared toast. It was a Grade A barn burner to be sure! We baked like 'taters, almost learned to breathe underwater, and set records in many spots all over the country! Unfortunately, almost everybody's vacation and even local plans and festivities were affected by the stinkin' Yu-No-Hu Flu. That didn't stop the weather though, and That Lucky Old Sun just kept on doin' his job and gave us a nice, hot Summer. OOPS! Dang winds...heh. Anyhoo, let's give Old Sol a big VVV sendoff with a Summer/Vacation theme, and just 'cause Imma nice guy and child-of-the-universe, I'm gonna include all the planets of our Solar System, visible Summer constellations, and other space stuff so the Sun knows we'll be thinkin' about him and all his pals during the upcoming Fall and Winter, and waiting for their arrival again next Spring. Cool? It's gonna be... If this theme doesn't suit you it's an Open Thread too, so feel free to throw down any Rock songs you'd like everybody to hear. All of this fun only costs you the following of our rules, the respecting of one other, and using the innate quality you all possess to have a great time while you're here! What a bargain! Don't forget to tap the heart and Recommend us to total strangers, so if they drop in we'll make them as weird as we are.

So! they are locking us down again where I live and I feel like screaming!!! We are supposed to practice social distancing and not touch anyone or anything. What to do now? Humans need interaction including the physical kind. Today we are going to touch everyone virtually through our music doing everything they say we shouldn't do right now. if it's about touching, post it-- Of course our site rules do not allow porn and innuendo is always best.. Now come give us a hug!!! Dance with us! Give us a kiss, whatevs! I hope everyone is getting by okay as we are forced to hunker down with loved ones and sometimes away from them. Now's a good time to contact people you have been meaning to call or write.
Post your songs that go with the theme or post your favorites of any theme, it's all good cause we are open thread as you know. We're here for a good time, Feel free to sing along and dance --you know you want to!!! Peace Love and Rock n Roll. Today's theme is all things Heaven & Hell. I made it an easy topic tonight but if'n you don't like it-- a note will be placed in your file LOL. As always as long as you follow the rules at VVV it's always open thread so just post your favorite tunes, pics and gifs. Feel free to sing along, dance or raise a little hell--YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!!! Peace Love and Rock n Roll
You have seen word clouds where the words are clustered according to their frequency in a text; the more frequently used words are in larger fonts. There are free sites where you can put in a text file and it generates a "word cloud". I tried one this morning and dumped into a cut-and-pasted song lyrics from a song. I found that is wasn't perfect (it didn't like contractions, omitted some words (common words like the, didn't treat lower and upper case words at the same, include numbers, etc.) I found I that could force the free site application to bend a bit and overcome some of these issues. Still it is not perfect nor are the inputs (online lyrics sometimes have errors if you can believe that!). Anyway, today, post your guess of the song I used to make the lyric cloud, post a song whose title is inspired by one use of the words in the graphic, or post songs that strike your fancy.
If you want to compose a lyric cloud of your own and post it, then ask us to guess the song, that would be cool. I'd be happy to share some tips on how to do that if you want. It is not difficult at all. If this goes well, I may in the future combine the lyrics for two or more songs and ask you to unravel the cloud into your guess for the component songs from a mixed-song cloud. Songs could be related thematically, by artist, or NOT! This is an open thread. Follow VVV rules, please recommend, and have fun. Good evening, Triple V! Tonight, I'm inna a "string" mood...so let focus on the string rippin', fret burnin' peeps that get our ears pumping! Come on....look at our banner.... Page Jimi (prolly one of my all time favorite tunes)... and Angus... And, since we're talking about strings...I have a gift for my brother...something I dug up from our past...something I drew just for him. Tonight's thread is about those guys/gals that smack the strings better than the rest! Now hold on...if that's not what yer jammin' to, no worries! Here at Vintage Vinyl we like to keep an open mind, so post up what ya' got! Just respect each other and post good tunes. That's all that we ask! This Wednesday's edition of VVV is all about Direction. Today's challenge is to post songs with some type of direction in the title of the songs, whether it be a cardinal, diagonal, vertical, horizontal, relative, shipboard or wheel direction. During our travels, without predetermined directions, we may have a hard time figuring out which way to turn next. To help us along with this idea, I will leave a list of Keywords: Above , Aft , Ahead, Around , Away , Back , Behind , Below , Beneath , Down , East, Fall , Fore , Forward , From , Horizontal , In , Left , North , Over , Out , Port , Right , Rise , Starboard , Straight , South , Through , To , Towards , Under , Up , Vertical , West , etc. If you'd rather wing it during life's endeavors, I can dig that! Do not fret, VVV is always an open thread. Meaning, post whatever Rock tunes you wish to share. Post funny memes, pics, and gifs. If you have any concert going stories to tell, those Rock the most! One last thing before we let the dogs out. Pleare have fun and follow VVV's Golden Rules. Don't worry. It'll change. Not always for the better though. Sure, I was happy when the heat broke and some cooler weather came our way. Would have been happier if the cooler weather hadn't come with so much rain. Can't walk through the barnyard without my swampers on, the muck is so deep. Aah, but we're not here to listen to me gripe about the rain. We're here to play some music. You've probably figured out by now that tonight's theme is the weather. Don't like the theme? That's cool. It's always an open thread at The VVV. Just play the music that you love. Please Recommend! Happy Monday, and welcome to today's edition of Triple V. Although it was written several years earlier, recorded a year earlier and went to #1, Rock Around The Clock really took off when it was the theme for the movie The Blackboard Jungle in 1955. It became an anthem for disaffected youth everywhere and spawned a whole new genre of music that we're all still enjoying. It's taken many forms and shapes over the first 30 years and it sounds much different today than it did when it first began, and the mediums it's recorded and distributed on changed too, from vinyl to cassettes, then CDs, and finally, today's digital delivery systems. The Beatles' I Want To Hold Your Hand (1962) was the second biggest shot in the arm that Rock-N-Roll got and kept it healthy and growing. It really took off again after this and kept it in the direction where it ended up today. We're only concerned with it until it turned 30 though, and nobody trusted it anymore LOL Anything and everything from those years goes now, and I wanna see and hear some great songs from those years! Let's see whatchu got! I'm sure you all know it's an Open Thread too, so don't be shy if you have some other rock songs that you want to share with us. We'd appreciate if you follow our rules, respect each other, and have the best time possible while you're here! That's All. We also appreciate a tap on the ol' heart to Recommend us and let everybody know we're still alive here and actin' up as usual. I wish she wouldn't look so serious. Geez.
Hey all! Been a little while since I last did one of these. How’s it hangin’? Or better yet, how brushed up are you on your musical alphabet? Don’t know what I mean? It’s simple....the rules of the game are to post your songs in alphabetical order. It’s an individuals game and the goal is to make it through the entire alphabet (or as far as you feel like going). Start with a song that starts with A, then your next song should start with B, then C, and so on. For the rebels who don’t like participating in thread gimmicks, y’all know the deal. We’re always open thread. Enjoy. :-)
Tonight’s theme is for the birds!! Bands or singers with birds names or songs, and videos or gifs about birds. From crows to owls to eagles to peacocks and chickens and ravens - bring em all out tonight. So if today’s theme doesn’t tweak your beak- what’s wrong with you ??? LOL 😆 IN THAT CASE , you know it’s always open thread here on VVV. Just post your favorite gifs pics and music videos - we’d love to see and hear them. FEEL FREE TO SING ALONG AND DANCE - YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO
