Unexpected FM

[Aussie W/Heart]

He might only know the hits.

:DYeah that's true, good starting point though.. & how are you going my lovely:xoxo: lol

[chelluversu]

Stand Back was playing at my boyfriend's gym while we were working out.

That was cool. Weird, but cool.

[Artemis]

I was flicking through the radio stations while waiting for my brother to get out of college the other day, and It Takes Time was on Radio 2. I was in total shock.

[sushud82]

I heard "Sad Angel" on 97.5 FM ("Akron's Home of Rock & Roll") on Sunday. They play mostly classic rock but make an effort to play new stuff from classic groups (and The Black Keys, because it is Akron after all).

So great to hear it on the radio...though I think I scared the bejeezus out of my daughter with my exclamations.

yeah i saw that on twitter. couldn't believe it, how cool!

[UnwoundDreams]

A snippet of Little Lies played during an advert for Real Radio Wales in the car today. And Everywhere played in Asda (the British equivalent of WalMart).

[mitzo]

7 Wonders came flooding over my local WalMart this afternoon!

[KarmaContestant]

As I wealked past an Old Chicago today, Gypsy was blasting at top volume on their patio.

[jarlic]

Watching my beloved STL Cardinals this evening and a commercial for Country Financial comes on, every one is singing "You can grow your own way"...there were more bastardized lyrics, but I couldn't take them all in.

[TheGreenBlues]

Landslide has just been performed on "The Voice" on BBC One. It was a duet/battle or something, I was just flicking through and caught the end of it.

[louielouie2000]

I heard "Never Forget" Saturday night while having drinks with friends in the courtyard at the Hotel San Jose here in Austin. I nearly fell out of my chair with surprise. The hotel has DJs on weekends, and they always play a really cool eclectic mix of music. Never expected to hear that particular Mac song, tho! :D

I heard "Never Forget" Saturday night

This has to be the winning entry for the entire thread!


Though it's not FM, I heard the B side to the Edge of Seventeen 45 single on the radio and nearly fell out of my car. Anyone want to guess what song this was?

Isn't the B side the live version of Edge? I've never heard it on the radio so it certainly falls under the "Unexpected" category.

[Macfanforever]

I must have radar.It seems like every time that I turn on the radio .Stevie or FM is playing on the station when I turn it on.Its spooky at times.

I can see it in my mind as I reach for the power button that transmits a signal to the radio stations studio to a light that flashes "Skip is tuning in so put on Stevie/FM tunes".

last Sunday I heard EO17 soon as I turned on my radio.

[MikeInNV]

While I was driving home from work today, the radio was playing The Devil Went Down to Georgia of all things. I started thinking about how Stevie would sound singing harmony on it. Then I started thinking about Stevie singing Landslide for no reason in particular. When Devil ended, the 1975 version of Landslide came on next.

[vivfox]

Isn't the B side the live version of Edge? I've never heard it on the radio so it certainly falls under the "Unexpected" category.

You win the prize! It got quite a bit of radio airplay in 1982 in Connecticut.

I was in Arundel Castle the other week. Which is a bit ol' local castle-come-stately-home with bits dating back to the middle ages:

http://i976.photobucket.com/albums/ae243/buster1_05/800px-Arundel_Castle_on_a_Sunny_Oct.jpg

Pretty, right?

So. In the cafe on the first floor they were, strangely enough, playing Paper Doll. Which totally did not match the setting at all, in my mind, to the point that I didn't even really register what the song was until my husband pointed it out to me excitedly towards the end of its run. And uh, yeah. There was a bit of grooving to be had after that. Life was good.

I don't even especially like Paper Doll, but any obscure SN song played in the middle of a historic English site is going to bring me some joy. Yes, even you, Jane. ;)

Wow .Thats beautiful.

I remember having a dream that there was a castle up on the hill up the road from me.In the dream I was walking in the woods coming up to the ruineds of it.

You didn't post anything for what seemed like a 3 week period and I was afraid we had lost one of the few people around here with some real sensibility.

[holidayroad]

I heard 'Silver Girl' at United Grocery Outlet. :eek: That was definitely Unexpected FM!

Michele

Lay off Silver Girl, you guys! She's had a few hard times (sometimes it blows her mind!) Have some sensitivity! :mad:


:laugh: ;)

In all seriousness, though, I adore RTTG. If I heard that song just about anywhere I'd be thoroughly pleased, and people would probably stare at me in confusion/wonder due to my inability to stop smiling. What is with people and that song? It's amazing!

[vivfox]

I love that song. It's the first one I listen to when I play the CD.

[Dex]

I love that song. It's the first one I listen to when I play the CD.

It's definitely an album highlight for me. Whenever I make post-The-Dance Stevie playlists, RTTG finds its way into the mix. People often seem to complain that Stevie's vocals were monotonous on that album, but I think RTTG (and EBFO) is one of the most emotionally moving vocals of her career.

[UnwoundDreams]

I stumbled across The Dance album in my local Tesco for £3. I haven't been more willing to scramble through my change to buy it. I think it's about time they re-released this album with the missing tracks that were included on the DVD (Gold Dust Woman, Gypsy, Go Insane, Songbird, Over My Head). I loved the album, but I missed those songs.

Yes I agree.Its time to see the Dance CD/DVD get the blueray treatment with some added goodies .

Hahahahaha' No CD player or MP3 player.

No its magic from somewhere.

It happens in the car when I turn on the radio and also shopping at the stores.

And yes I have to say sometimes I do tune the radio band just looking for Stevie or FM tunes when there is other tunes playing on the radio.

:laugh: I have no idea what was playing before that! I was walking away from the frozen food section and barely heard "...she was just....". I turn to my husband and son and say something about hearing Stevie. Then it occurred to me what song it was!

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I like 'Silver Girl' far more than I like RTTG!!

I understand exactly what you mean! That sort of thing used to happen to me a lot. In fact, sometimes I'd just get some thought out of nowhere that said 'FM is playing now!' and I'd turn on the radio and there they would be!

One of the weirdest things I had happen was in the early '90s. MTV used to do something called 'What If Wednesdays'. I was at a neighbor's house and she had MTV on. I had barely sat down at her house and she left the room for some reason. The MTV VJ was then saying 'What if it was 1984...' and suddenly I just knew without any doubt that they were about to play the vid for 'Go Insane'!!

At that point, I hadn't seen the video since 1984. I think I screamed and totally freaked my neighbor out! :laugh:

Hahaha.Yes .I was in Lowe's tonight looking for new tires for my lawn tractor. As I walked in they had FM's SYW blasting trough out the store.

FM brought me luck tonight .I did find the tires for my tractor which includes the rims and which were half price then the ones I found online and at local lawnmower repair shops .

Yes I missed the original MTV,VH1 and CMT. They totally suck now.

[ejb1969]

"Don't Stop" was just played at the restaurant where I was having lunch. When the waitress asked me if everything was okay (meaning my food), I said, "It's better now." :)

I miss how MTV and VH1 used to be, too. At least VH1 Classic has some good videos on!

[vivfox]

I don't miss them at all. Even if all they did was play videos 24 hours a day, I still would not be watching. I never watch TV anymore unless I'm at someone else's house where it is on or some tragic world event occurs or some dangerous weather happens in my area. My 37 inch TV substitutes as my computer monitor. FM look amazing in HD.

[jarlic]

I was watching The Simpsons, Fox OnDemand, and they showed a preview/behind the scenes segment of Andy Samberg's new show Brooklyn Nine Nine. All the cast were talking about how intimidated they were to have Andre Braugher on the show, he plays the Captain. Andy said he knew Andre was ok when he passed his trailer and heard Andre "blasting the Mac". They showed Andre and he said "Yeah, it was an intense shooting day and I was playing Rumours, I needed my Stevie Nicks fix". Liked him already, but he definitely moved up in my book after this.

[holidayroad]

I heard 'Don't Stop' while shopping at a grocery store today.

[applebucked]

Only had one unexpected FM moment - it was my neighbor across the street blasting Tusk and I could hear it outside.

[vivfox]

The album or the single?

[applebucked]

We don't get singles on our music stores here, so it's the Tusk song on the Tusk album. :laugh:

[vivfox]

Then it was the single you were hearing. Not the album being played.

[wheart]

I was waiting in line at the South Philly Acme and I heard a voice streaming through the sound system that sounded very familiar but I couldn't pinpoint it. Shame on me! As I strained to listen I realized it was Silver Girl. Totally not expecting to hear that song in a supermarket. It wasn't even released as a "single" to my knowledge. Still it made my food shopping experience worthwhile. I was singing it as I left the store. I do love that song. I think the melody is one of the prettiest Stevie has written and Lindsey's production, I think, is top notch. I think it captures some of the Fleetwood Mac mystery that is not present on so many of the SYW songs. The only thing that would complete the song would be Christine's vocals on the chorus. I don't remember if Lindsey sings on the chorus but the three of them would be spectacular.

[UnwoundDreams]

Everywhere played on the radio on the way to school this morning, and a boy sitting behind me was singing along.

[Seasonsofmylife]

A few days ago I did a little run with -of course- FM on my iPod. While I was having breakfast a little later I heard Stevie Nicks' Rooms on Fire on the radio, which surprised me because I don't hear her songs a lot on the radio. An hour later I biked -yes, I live in the Netherlands- to a coffee bar to meet a friend. While I sat down I heard a song from Rumours playing, can't remember which one, I think it was either NGBA or GYOW. I thought it was a nice coincidence, hearing these two songs on the radio. It made my day :)

[FutureGames71]

I used to work at a restaurant and every now and then a FM song would trickle down on to the radio speakers. Think About Me, Sisters Of the Moon, GYOW, Dreams, and Little Lies were usually the culprits. Although SOTM was a rare occurrence. Also Dust My Broom would play too, though not the FM version. I worked at a popular Chicago themed chain restaurant (that specialized in Deep Dish pizza). 10 points to whoever guesses it :lol: :lol:

Uno's?? Love that place :] mmmmmm even better with a side of FM! I work at a 99 if anyone has heard of that chain....they play Secret Love from In your Dreams all the time and Go Your Own Way :)

[chiliD]

Coast To Coast AM played "Rhiannon" as one of their bumper tunes on Monday night's show.

They use that and "Hypnotized" quite often, depending on the topic of each show.

[holidayroad]

I heard 'Dreams' when I was shopping at a Goodwill in Georgia yesterday.

[vivfox]

One of my favorite restaurants.

[Aussie W/Heart]

Yesterday they played Edge of 17 through out our large shopping center.. My teenage son said Mum their playing one of your favorite songs.. walking towards us, the lady security officer was happily singing along to it...

My 4 year old daughter loves singing along to the ooo's in Edge of Seventeen. She concentrates really hard to make sure she gets them in the right place. The first time I heard her doing it my heart leapt with joy :]

I haven't been listening to the radio much in the last couple of months, but I did turn it on for 10mins last week and almost immediately a snippet of "Rooms on Fire" came on. I shouted out in shock :eek: as I'd just been engrossed in a Stevie thread on the Ledge. It's very very rare for this station to play any Stevie, although they do play quite a bit of Fleetwood Mac. The timing of it was just weird.

[FutureGames71]

Oh if only you knew the **** that went on at that place....haha 99s is a pretty decent place. You're lucky though, they never played any Stevie solo stuff at unos :(

[HelloMonster]

Say You Will at my favorite Mexican restaurant! Very nice treat :thumbsup:

[DoubtfulMiracle]

I heard 'Without You' (the EP version) in a ladies clothes store here in Brisbane. I was totally blown away.

[getTusked]

haha...well that's the restaurant biz for yah...always nonsense and drama going on! I actually recently heard a HORRENDOUS version of Rhiannon at the Outback a few weeks ago. I can't even tell you who covered it...usually I use my Shazam app but it was so bad I refused. Anyone know of this garbage?

[getTusked]

Wait I just searched for it on ITunes...pretty sure its by some chick or band named Res....horrendous.

[FutureGames71]

It was probably off that Gawdawful tribute album. Honestly there were 2good songs on there: Haim's version of Hold Me, and Lee Ranaldo and J Mascis's Albatross effort. Had higher expectations for MGMT especially since they covered "Future Games" but was severely disappointed.

I usually don't cringe at covers...but when you take away a songs dignity and turn it into hipster mumbo jumbo...count me out. lol :lol:

[vivfox]

Say You Will at my favorite Mexican restaurant! Very nice treat :thumbsup:


I just heard SYW waltzing through Lowe's Department Store earlier tonight. I was a bit miffed when the over head loudspeaker was interrupted with the store operator announcing a phone call for the flooring department.

[UnwoundDreams]

I was in a London Pizza Hut last weekend and just as we were walking out, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around by Stevie and Tom Petty came on. I'll just say that I did NOT want to leave.

[Street_Dreamer]

In Rite Aid yesterday I heard Dreams then a few minutes later Got A Hold On Me.

[lovethemac1]

I was driving with my kids (teens) and on the classic rock station that we were listening to (I had to exercise my right as the driver to get it on that station), Dreams played. Yippee. When it was over, they changed the channel and Go Your Own Way was playing. Double Yippee. They were stunned.

Also, when i was a teenager, we always spent our whole summers at the lake. During the summer of 1977, whenever Go Your Own Way would come on the radio, the speakers which were aimed out the cottage window would get turned up full blast, and all the water skiiers would dance on the rock, in the boat or on the dock--all in the hot summer sun!! Blissful.

[GypsyBlueEyes]

Was just having a little Coronation Street marathon & I heard Little Lies playing in the pub in the background. :)

[FutureGames71]

At the end of Tuesday's episode of NCIS Los Angeles there was a cover of "Landslide" which wasn't that bad.

Now that you mention it, the Mac appeared on last night's episode of EastEnders. One of the characters was leaving Walford for good and as they were walking past the Vic, Go Your Own Way was playing. Well isn't that ironic?

Totally random reference in this song. Made me smile so much!

[Aussie W/Heart]

At 3.30 am last night, still wide awake & flicking through TV stations i think it was Landline on the ABC. the program was about a small timber cutting business in Tasmania Australia, the old guy explained his process of making Drum kits, starting with old hollow hardwood trees it was all pretty interesting. At the end of the program they showed the finished product, a beautifully crafted drum kit without mentioning their name but showed a full screen live shot of Fleetwood Mac.... So there ya go, we now know where Mick gets his drums from.. :thumbsup:

[ChickenStu]

A friend of mine said he went into a framing shop to find a frame for a painting he acquired and the Mac was playing in there. He noticed that the two young girls (he estimated at being in their mid twenties) at the counter were REALLY grooving on it too!

[This service walk: As Liz Lemon would say, "I want to go to there!" I mean, not only was My Little Demon playing, but how in the world did anyone recognize it as a Fleetwood Mac song?]

[This is from an article talking about visiting a newly dedicated Military Service Walk]

Ledger Enquirer 5/30/2014

http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/2014/05/30/3129335/dimon-kendrick-holmes-letters.html?sp=/99/164/

At the splash pad, two little girls dance in the spray. Fleetwood Mac from the speakers in the ground plays "My Little Demon."

"I really don't like it… ain't nothing I can do. I really don't like it… I'm leaving it to you."

I think the memorial is perfect. It's not a towering hunk of marble that dominates the RiverWalk. It's words on simple markers.

Those words stick in your mind, a gentle reminder of why we are free.

[Musicman408]

Well at least it has something good about it then!
sorry.

Fox is a whole lot more moderate than MSNBC and CNN. I watch a bit of all 3 so I can hear a bit of all "sides" of the story, but MSNBC gets on my nerves. Can never really watch it for more than 5 minutes at a time.

On "The Five" just now, the cast mentioned Fleetwood Mac as someone they would like to see perform at Super Bowl Halftime!

[vivfox]

I just heard 7 Wonders in the car on a college radio station.:thumbsup:

[MikeInNV]

I was in Bed, Bath, and Beyond today, and they had a little display set up of music to relax to. There was a lot of new age stuff, in addition to CDs that were specifically designed to do yoga or meditate to. The lone pop/rock selection was Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits. It looked very out of place.

[MikeInNV]

Just heard Stevie's "Silent Night" on the radio for the first time this season. I was driving home from Target.

They must rotate it a lot on some Sirius channel.

In the 2014 Kevin Smith directed horror film, Tusk, the FM song "Tusk" is played to great effect in it. I sure do not want to spoil, so that's all I will say.

I'm probably the only one here who still listens to AM radio.As I was DXing the band I tuned into FM Little Lies with the drifting and static the other night.

DXing is a hobby of listening to distant radio stations on AM,FM and shortwave radio band which I've been doing for years.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this but the live version of Big Love from The Dance was played in the background of the Top Gear Patagonia special part 2 on BBC2 last Sunday.

For those who don't know, Top Gear is watched by approximately 250 million people worldwide and this episode was watched by nearly 5 million people last Sunday in the UK alone.

What great exposure for Fleetwood Mac and an odd track to play, especially the 1997 live version. Fantastic nevertheless! :nod:

[Montclare]

Apparently, Bath and Body Works is the place to hear Fleetwood Mac. First, Holiday Road last month, and then today, Hypnotized, which I was really surprised about.

[DauphineMarie]

I heard Stand Back and Think About Me in Marshalls on two separate occasions. And once at a pub someone played You and I Part 1. I pretty much sh*t myself lol

[MoonSister75]

I've just been away on a 5 rhythms dance weekend, and they played the dance version of Dreams - needless to say I was in heaven. I've been doing this type of dancing for 8 years and this is the first time I remember hearing Stevie's voice at a session. It was totally blissful - lost in dance and in her voice :angel: The teacher has said he's keen to hear about the music we like and he'll play more of it, so I'll be sending him in the direction of FM and Stevie :nod:

Ooh! The dance remix of Stand Back is sublime :thumbsup:

[vivfox]

I heard a single remix of Rhiannon on the car radio the other day that has never graced these earlobes before.

[Lee]

Don't Stop was playing on Saturday throughout the Christiana Mall in Delaware. :thumbsup: Ironically I was there because my birthday is today & I went there to birthday shop. So it was nice to hear.

Lee :)

[MoonSister75]

^^^ Happy Birthday!! :woohoo::woohoo:

Ooh! The dance remix of Stand Back is sublime :thumbsup:

Oh great - thanks for the suggestion. I'm not so knowledgeable about FM/Stevie dance tracks so it's good to get some ideas.

another unexpected FM....
I went into a pub today (to use their bathroom as my daughter was desperate), and as I opened the door I immediately heard the lovely, angelic sound of Christine singing You Make Loving Fun.:angel: It was so uplifting and I just couldn't help but sing along to it :)

[jbrownsjr]

I Can't Wait has an amazing dance single floating out there. I used to have in on record.

[lovethemac1]

My friends' husband was in Toronto, found a retro record store with piles of old vinyl records. He bought me a vinyl record of Fleetwood Mac made from a recording of a session they played on April 27, 1968. It says on the insert: "Fleetwood Mac in London. This early archive of Peter Green's Fleewood Mac, before Danny Kirwan, is one of the earliest existing live recordings of the band, recorded on April 27, 1968 at a concert given at the Polytechnic of Central London, just a few months after the release of their debut album. Here the band's heavy blues influence dominates their sound as they play through a set of mainly blues covers, many of which do not appear on any other recording."
How cool is that? What a nice guy.........

[Aussie W/Heart]

A couple of nights ago, RAGE played Holiday Road :eek: :sorry: such a lame song, but Lindsey looked pretty hot and sexy :thumbsup:

[vivfox]

I heard Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You on the car radio today, coming from a Catholic radio station that specializes in obscure classic rock songs.

[jcalzaretta]

Sitting in the W restaurant in midtown - NYC. Working. Playing music although not loud. You know you just hear something that makes you stop working and concentrate because it sounds so familiar. But not loud so you have to pay attention. It was the classic Gypsy. And I thought. Damn - this is a great sound that has really held up (for an 80s song). It is gorgeous. Just love it.

So I was happy.

Then two or three songs later, the same thing happened. It was Station Man. Holy cow. What a rare treat. It reminded me of the early concerns where Stevie and Lindsey sang it. What a great song.

This morning is starting off pretty darn good!

Apple Store in Northridge, CA Don't Stop

[Wdm6789]

I was in the checkout line at the grocery store and I was glancing at the celebrity gossip magazines. I noticed one of them had a little article about Stevie Nicks. I flipped open to the page the article was on and as soon as I got to her page, Over My Head started playing in the grocery store. What are the odds of that? It made me smile to myself.

[PenguinHead]

I heard Hold Me in Fred Meyers supermarket today. Such a nice song - a rare Christine/Lindsey duet - but so overlooked by the band despite being a big hit; one the highlights of the Mirage album.


I saw them perform the song in 1982. Instead of the Hold Meeeeee on the record, they sang Hold me yeah! It's so odd that they perform all of their hits, but not this one! I think it would have a great performance circa 1987-1990 as a duet with Billy Burnette.

^ This, except for the last part. It needs Lindsey. I wish they were playing Hold Me on this tour. This would have been the perfect opportunity to resurrect that song.

[James89]

I was watching one of my favourite programmes on Sky1 last night, Stella, and Go Your Own Way was played in its entirety for one of the scenes. I was really surprised that they played so much of it but it was a great addition to a great programme.

Yesterday morning, I was at the airport at 3:45 am to catch a flight. Walked in and heard Dreams playing, the airport was quiet so I could hear it really clearly. Listened to it all the way through security.

This just popped up on twitter and it's the "Django" from "Buckingham/Nicks"


Jean Baptiste 'Django' Reinhardt (January 23, 1910 - May 16, 1953) was a Belgian Gypsy jazz musician. His most renowned tunes include Minor Swing, Tears, Nagasaki and Nuages.

Born in Liberchies, Belgium, Reinhardt spent most of his youth in gypsy encampments close to Paris, France, playing banjo, guitar and violin from an early age professionally at dance halls in Paris. He started first with a banjo-guitar that had been given to him, and his first recordings (in 1928) were with him playing the banjo (a banjo guitar has six strings and is tuned like a guitar).



At the age of 18, Reinhardt was injured in a fire that ravaged the caravan he shared with his first wife. The third and fourth digits on his left hand were burned so badly they were fused together, and although the doctors succeeded in separating the fingers, they were of diminished use to him in his future guitar playing (Acker Bilk was another musician whose dexterity seemed unimpaired by finger-damage). Determined to keep playing, Reinhardt focused on the guitar and developed an original style of playing that emphasized his undamaged fingers.

In 1934, he formed the 'Quintette du Hot Club de France' with violinist Stephane Grappelli, Reinhardt's brother Joseph and Roger Chaput on guitar, and Louis Vola on bass. He produced numerous recordings at this time, and played with many American musicians, like Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter and Rex Stewart.

As World War II was declared, the quintet was on tour in the United Kingdom. Reinhardt returned to Paris at once, leaving his wife behind. Grappelli remained in the United Kingdom for the duration of the war, and Reinhardt reformed the quintet in Paris with Hubert Rostaing on clarinet in place of Grappelli's violin.



Reinhardt survived World War II unscathed, unlike many other gypsies who perished in the concentration death camps of the Nazis. He had the help of a Luftwaffe official named Dietrich Schultz-Kohn, a.k.a. Doktor Jazz, who admired deeply his music. In 1943 married Sophie Ziegler, with whom he had a son, Babik Reinhardt, who went on to become a respected guitarist in his own right.

After the war, Reinhardt rejoined Grappelli in the UK, and went on to tour the United States, opening for Duke Ellington, and playing at Carnegie Hall, as well as making more recordings.

In 1951, he retired to Samois sur Seine in France, near Fontainebleau, and lived there for two years until, on the morning of May 16th, he woke up complaining of being unable to move. Although he claimed to feel better, he collapsed outside of his house from a brain hemorrhage. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital in Fontainebleau.




Tributes

Just before Christmas 1954, the Modern Jazz Quartet recorded pianist John Lewis' tribute, simply titled 'Django'. This elegant lament became an oft-recorded jazz classic.

In 1971, Stephane Grappelli teamed up with Belgian guitarist Phillip Catherine and Danish bass player Niels Henning Oersted-Pedersen to record a tribute titled 'Young Django', a reference to the nickname given to the virtuoso Catherine.




Trivia

Reinhardt is the idol of the fictional 30's guitarist, Emmet Ray, in the Woody Allen film, Sweet and Lowdown (1999).

The song Johnny Depp plays in the river party scene in Lasse Hallström's movie 'Chocolat' was Django and Grapelli's great hit, 'Minor Swing'.

He is portrayed in the opening sequence of the 2003 cartoon Les Triplettes de Belleville, playing a mean guitar with his three fingers and puffing cigarette smoke out of his ears.






Reinhardt in popular culture

Reinhardt has been portrayed in several films, such as in the opening sequence of the 2003 animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville. The third and fourth fingers of the cartoon Reinhardt are considerably smaller than the fingers used to play the guitar. Reinhardt's legacy dominates in Woody Allen's 1999 Sweet and Lowdown. This spoof biopic focuses on fictional American guitarist Emmet Ray's obsession with Reinhardt, with soundtrack featuring Howard Alden. He is also portrayed by guitarist John Jorgenson in the movie Head in the Clouds.

Reinhardt is the idol of the character Arvid in the movie Swing Kids, where the character's left hand is smashed by a member of the Hitler Jugend, but is inspired by Reinhardt's example to keep playing. Similarly, in real life, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi suffered an industrial accident at 17, where the tips of his right middle and ring fingers were amputated on the last day of his job at a sheet metal factory. His boss, in an effort to encourage Iommi to follow his dream of being a professional guitarist, played a Django Reinhardt record for him for inspiration.

Reinhardt's music has been used in the soundtrack of many films, including in The Matrix; Rhythm Futur, Daltry Calhoun, Metroland, Chocolat, The Aviator, Alex and the Gypsy, Kate and Leopold and Gattaca; the score for Louis Malle's 1974 movie, Lacombe Lucien; the background for the Steve Martin movie L.A. Story; and the background for a number of Woody Allen movies, including Stardust Memories. He also appeared as a character in Allen's Sweet and Lowdown. Reinhardt's music has also been featured in the soundtracks of several video games, such as the 2002 game Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, Mafia II and several times in the 2007 game BioShock.

Reinhardt has been the subject of several songs, most notably "Django" (1954), a gypsy-flavoured piece that jazz pianist John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet wrote in honour of Reinhardt;

numerous versions of the song have been recorded, including one on the 1973 Lindsey Buckingham/Stevie Nicks self-titled debut album

; it also appears on Joe Bonamassa's 2006 LP You & Me. The lyrics of the Norwegian song "Tanta til Beate" by Lillebjørn Nilsen mentions Reinhardt several times.

He is mentioned in Jump Little Children's song "Mexico": "I won't let you leave, not with all my Django, Emmylou and Steve".

In the novel Century Rain by Alastair Reynolds, the characters Wendell Floyd and André Custine mention having played music with Reinhardt.

In 2010 the French and Belgian Google homepages displayed a logo commemorating the centenary of his birthday on 23 January 2010.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Actors Alexander Siddig and Nana Visitor named their son after Reinhardt.

Reinhardt is loosely suggested as the main character in the music video for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Brian Setzer.

The Django web framework is named after him, as is version 3.1 of the blog software WordPress.

"Twango", a track on Duane Eddy's album Road Trip, is a tribute to Reinhardt.






Influence



Many guitar players, and musicians, have expressed admiration for Django Reinhardt, or have cited him as a major influence. These include British rock guitarists Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton, all three of whom are regularly listed by publications such as Rolling Stone or Guitar Player Magazine as being within the top 10 greatest or most influential guitar players (often with Reinhardt, himself). In fact, Jeff Beck has described Reinhardt as "By far the most astonishing guitar player ever..." and "...quite superhuman..." Other notable guitar players influenced by Reinhardt, include Bob Dunn, Leon McAuliffe, Jimmy McCulloch, NWOAHM guitarist Synyster Gates (Brian Haner Jr.) of Avenged Sevenfold, classical guitarist Julian Bream; country artist Chet Atkins, who placed Reinhardt #1 on a list of the ten most influential guitarists of the 20th century (and himself fifth); Latinrocker Carlos Santana; blues legend B.B. King; Pete Townshend of The Who; Australian acoustic guitar player Tommy Emmanuel; The Wiggles' Murray Cook; Pierre Bensusan; Phish's Trey Anastasio; The Libertines' Carl Barat, Shawn Lane; Hank Marvin; Stevie Ray Vaughan; Derek Trucks; Mark Knopfler; Les Paul; Joe Pass; Peter Frampton; Denny Laine; Bill Nelson; Jon Larsen; Steve Howe; Charlie Christian; Frank Vignola; Barney Kessel; George Benson; Wes Montgomery; Martin Taylor; Michael Angelo Batio; Richard Thompson; Robert Fripp; René Thomas; and Jeff Martin. Willie Nelson wore a Django Reinhardt T-shirt on tour in Europe in 2002, stating in an interview that he admired Reinhardt's music and ability. Willie pointed out how Reinhardt's Hot Club quintet paralleled the hot jazz & country fiddle sound of 1930's Western Swing bands Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies and Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

Jose Feliciano attributes his unique style to, in part, that of Reinhardt's. In 2009 he composed an album inspired by those musical influences and entitled it Djangoisms.

The Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia and Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, both of whom lost fingers in accidents, were particularly inspired by Reinhardt's ability to become an accomplished guitar player/musician, despite the diminished use of his own permanently injured hand following an accident.

A number of musicians have even named their sons Django in honour of, or respect for, Reinhardt. They include Dawelie Reinhardt, David Crosby, former Slade singer Noddy Holder, Jerry Jeff Walker, Richard Durrant, as well as actors Nana Visitor, Alexander Siddig and Raphael Sbarge. Jazz musician Django Bates and singer-songwriter Django Haskins were also named after him.

Songs written in Reinhardt's honour include "Django," an instrumental guitar piece by renowned blues-rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. The piece was influenced by the violin introduction of "Vous et Moi" (Blues et Mineur 1942, Brussels) where Reinhardt himself played the violin. Vous et Moi (You and Me) became the title of Bonamassa's sixth album where the track first appeared in 2006. Slightly longer live versions appear on LIVE...From Nowhere In Particular (2009), and in DVD from the 4 May concert at Royal Albert Hall. "Django," composed by John Lewis, which has become a jazz standard performed by musicians such as Miles Davis. The Modern Jazz Quartet titled one of their albums Django in honour of him. The Allman Brothers Band song "Jessica" was written by Dickey Betts in tribute to Reinhardt — he wanted to write a song that could be played using only two fingers. This aspect of the artist's work also motivated Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, who was inspired by Reinhardt to keep playing guitar after a factory accident that cost him two fingertips. Composer Jon Larsen has composed several crossover concerts featuring Reinhardt-inspired music together with symphonic arrangements, most famous are "White Night Stories" (2002) and "Vertavo" (1996).

Not only did Reinhardt put his stamp upon jazz, his "hot" string band music also had an impact upon the parallel development of Texas's western swing string bands, which eventually fed into the wellspring of what is now called country music.

In 2005, Django Reinhardt took 66th place in the election of The Greatest Belgian (De Grootste Belg) in Flanders and 76th place in the Walloon version of the same competition Le plus grand Belge.

What Makes You Think You're The One was played on the radio during my drive home this afternoon. KUTX here in Austin. Probably the most unexpected and unlikely FM song I've ever heard on the air!

A busker on the corner of Castro and 18th did Landslide. I bought her CD, which was just originals. I should have stopped while I was ahead. :) Anyway, she did a great job.

Hi Viv.I have tuned to this station at times.I did not know Lich is on it.
The last time I had WJMJ on was at Christmas night when they were one of the last stations that were playing Christmas tunes.

I'm glad FM is getting some airplay on WJMJ since they are a religious station.

They are probably alittle worried about loosing listeners to the new WCCC K-Love station.

Skip, they play more obscure classic rock songs all through the daytime. They used to play Think About Me quite frequently a couple of years ago.

Thanks .I got to check them out.Thats what I love about non commercial/College radio stations.They play whatever commercial radio does not play.

Since WDRC change format and the mix of the 1990's music and almost dups WHCN River 105.9 and WPLR.

WHCN surprises me sometimes with Stevie and FM.They enjoy playing them all the time.They will be the first candidate to play FM's upcoming album when it ever gets out.They played the living crap out of SYW when it came out.

I've been listening to WLNG FM Long Island and WHCN plus local AM WQUN 1220 and WICC 600 on the weekends.WCBS 880 for the news.

Exactly 4 weeks after hearing Dreams in the airport at 4:15am, I'm back for the same flight with my daughter, and in the same place (heading into security), she stops, turns around, looks at me and points to the ceiling where, to my amazement, Dreams was playing again. Weird and deja vu'ish.

So, I'm very interested in this model couple I found on Instagram. Alexis Ren And Jay Alvarrez, she did a shoot for Wrangler Australia (ladies high waisted wranglers are back) Which took me to their IG page. First thing I notice is SN and the bugs bunny pic from 76', I thought my eyes had failed me. How ironic and very strange. Scrolling along, more Stevie Nicks and even the Rolling Stone cover (in bed) are posted and SN is even mentioned as their muse. They're everywhere I find remotely interesting!!!!

At 2am this morning i was watching a documentary on TV about an Aussie photographer who travelled to Iceland where he had arranged to met up with an American and 2 local guides at a base camp in the middle of nowhere. Their 3 heavily loaded sleds travelled for 30 days and nights.( Poor dogs)
Finally they reached this top secret Observatory station which was used to spy on the Soviet Union. This massive unusual Dome structure was built in the early 70's. It became disused and unmanned in the mid 80's, they just up and left everything. The film crew strolled though the living quarters & the first bedroom they walked into had a big poster of Stevie on the wall in perfect condition.. lol.. Anyway i thought it was pretty cool :o

He captured some amazing shots including snow storms, sunsets and the Northern Lights..

Sorry just thought id share this kinda boring story anyway! :wavey:

Away at a conference that I am speaking at, in a restaurant with some other colleagues, the bar played the entire Rumour's album, start to finish. It sounded like it was on some kind of background track in the whole hotel, and then the Eagles came on after, Hotel California. So good.

Wow, I would've been like I belong here at this point right now, it's a sign I'm where I'm supposed to be.

[StreetAngel86]

Thats got to be a good omen. I have positive thoughts that you were successful.

lawd I hope so.
more $$ = more concert tickets :laugh::xoxo:


Just before I went to the shop
and STARSHINE was playing in the shopping center ...
It wasn't the radio I am pretty sure

I always take FM/Stevie playing in the car to be a good omen that I'm going to make it to wherever without dying in a crash ;)
so far so good :lol:

It also has one of my favorite (though short) soundtracks of any movie. I can't think of any movie and song that fit as perfectly together as "Slap Shot" and "Right Back Where We Started From" by Maxine Nightingale. The movie also features a few tracks from Fleetwood Mac, one from Elton John, and, of course, "The Stripper."

Count me in for the Mighty Ducks too. I grew up on those movies.

[jbrownsjr]

Walking through Seattle Int'l Airport today and heard NGBA playing over loudspeaker.

[Street_Dreamer]

At my local FYE a couple days ago and they played My Little Demon.

[Steviegirl]

Last night I was watching a beautiful movie, The Judge, and during one scene, "Storms" was playing--almost the entire song.

[Aussie W/Heart]

Last night while watching the Aussie Logie Awards on TV, a young guest performer sang Songbird (Solo on the Harp) as a tribute for the all celebrities that had passed away this year.

[Danigirl]

I'm watching Schitt's Creek and Twyla mentions her dad was a roadie for FM and Mick Fleetwood told him "when in doubt say it with a song" after slapping him with a restraining order.

[vivfox]

Yesterday in the car some Connecticut radio station played I Don't Want To Know and right after that played Oh Daddy. As the first chorus started to Oh Daddy they cut the song and went into talking.

Was it River or the new Whale that played them.I know the River loves FM.

That was so funny, my mouth literally dropped open, and I burst out laughing. Schitt's Creek is a riot. I love it!!

As Long As You Follow.. Ralph's Encino

[Macfanforever]

Yesterday I heard the Dance version of Landslide blasting from the neighbors house.I could not tell if it was on the radio or them playing a CD.Tape,MP3, ETC.

[vivfox]

Was it River or the new Whale that played them.I know the River loves FM.

I think it was 103.9 or something like that. It was a station I don't usually pick up other than during bad weather.

[Lee]

In the grocery store, Giant, last Thursday night, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a Fleetwood Mac magazine @ the checkout. It was $16.99... yikes... I was debating about getting it. I mean, I already know about everything there is to know about them. Then right after that, Little Lies starts playing throughout the grocery store:lol: I mean how weird is that! :nod:

Lee :)

I dont recall that freq in my mind at the moment.It sounds like a New York or RI station.

Last night I heard Christine's solo tune Got A Hold On Me on the local AM station that still plays music as I was in my travels to the store.

Heard Heroes Are Hard To Find today on Satellite Radio... didn't know any radio station played it. It was so nice to hear it!

[michelej1]

Wow! Haven't heard that one in a bit.

I remember once I rented a car in Chicago and I turned on the radio and "Got a Hold On Me" was playing. That was back in 2005, but it surprised me so much, it stayed with me.

Michele

[Macfanforever]

Wow! Haven't heard that one in a bit.

Yes .Even on AM radio.WQUN is great for playing FM and its members solo work along with Frank Sinatra and Perry Como standards which I enjoy too.

As I type this .My neighbor is playing FMs "Never Going Back Again" probably from Pandora over somebody else's lawnmower running.

[MikeInNV]

"Secret Love" at the grocery store this morning.

[welcomechris]

That's odd, but great! I really like that song.



I was extremely shocked to hear "Lady" in McDonalds. Come to think of it, why was I at McDonalds?

Also, "Landslide" (the Dance version) was on the radio the other day, I don't know what station though because I was to busy turning it up and singing it terribly in my car.

My sister says she heard "Little Lies" at a restaurant the other day (Don't worry, it wasn't McDonalds):laugh:

[FuzzyPlum]

Sat in a coffee shop at Gatwick airport- about to go on holiday. Listening to Sara. Great way to start a holiday!

[Macfanforever]

I'm glad to see Stevie's IYD and 24K tunes are getting some airplay around the world.

[louielouie2000]

I was in Petco last night and heard the song Say You Will. It was weird... I only ever heard Say You Will a few times on the radio a dozen years ago when the album came out. So to hear it now was really unexpected.

[lovethemac1]

Every time I go grocery shopping in tiny, little Kenora, Ont. (by our cottage), I hear a Fleetwood Mac song........Landslide, GYOW, Hold Me, Save Me, Little Lies, Everywhere, Twister (the one with her and Lindsey), just to name a few. It's hard to hear because it is really background, but I catch bits and pieces of it and am always amazed. And then I sing along with it, and people stare.:laugh:

[Dreams Unwind]

I was at the restaurant in the Tower Of Americas in San Antonio, Texas (USA) and heard Everywhere. Pretty unexpected and really added to the whole day. :D

ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching... money hitting their pockets every time one of those songs plays.......times every grocery store/hotel/elevator/etc. in the US and elsewhere. Better than a 401k!

I was in the nyc a few months ago and I heard the single version of say you will in a McDonald's. It was odd but great!

[Wdm6789]

I was in my car and Think About Me from Tusk came on the good classic rock/pop station. It's very rare to hear Tusk songs on FM radio. I also noticed how much Lindsey just kinda steals all the vocals from Christine in that song.

I remember I was in a movie theater while I was in Michigan visiting. And my mother went to the restaurant and Think About Me started playing on the sound system. I was shocked.

Lindsey starts screaming. One writer says that Christine pleads while Lindsey demands. So, whether it's Hold Me or Think About Me at some point he's going to become dominant. It tickles me. Every once in a while.

Was watching a live concert video of Colbie Caillat's on AXS TV channel earlier today. Her last song was a really cool version of "Go Your Own Way". :thumbsup:

Then the encore was "Bubbly" (of course).

"Tell Me All The Things You Do" is playing right now.

[Macfanforever]

I heard "Say You Love Me" in BJs Tire dept waiting to get my new tires installed on my car.They have a nice music playlist .Alot of oldies mixed with a handful of newer tunes.

[pattyfan]

I heard Hypnotized at Safeway the other day. Also, Dave Eggers mentions Fleetwood Mac in his latest novel "The Circle". :)

Kevin

[elle]

mention of the FM and "drama" contributing to half of their success in the opening lines of Ricki and the Flash.

also, Don't Stop playing in my local CVS.

[Vanessa]

I was at IHOP and heard Think About Me. Then I went to IKEA and they played the single version of Rhiannon.

[MikeInNV]

For no reason whatsoever, my local radio station played You Make Loving Fun and Sara back to back. Gypsy was on earlier this morning.

[jenniferuk]

As Long As You Follow came on as I cruised the Kroger produce section. My shopping mood improved considerably.

[Musicman408]

"The Five" on Fox, JUSSSSST played "Rooms on Fire" heading into commercial break!! Hellyeah!

I love The Five. I was watching Fox and friends last week and they played Little Lies after they interviewed Candace Cameron Bure before they went to commercial.

On the good classic rock station here, there's one good one and one not so good one, they played Buckingham Nicks - Races are Run. I had never heard this song before and I thought to myself "that sounds like Stevie Nicks." I remembered Shazaming the song, but I don't remember if Shazam recognized it. Good thing the DJ, immediately after the song, said "Races are Run Buckingham Nicks"

[sorcerer999]

I bet all five members of the Mac (especially Lindsey) would be SO THRILLED to know that their music is being played on Fox News! :laugh:

[Macfanforever]

As I was repairing a old AM/FM 8Track portable stereo last night like the one in the photo from Ebay.As I was tuning the FM dial.Standback started to play on the local FM station.

I heard the FM version of Sentimental Lady on the radio last night. More specifically, KUTX 98.9 here in Austin. It was unusual, because a handful of Austin radio stations will play Bob Welch's solo version, but I can't say I've ever heard the FM version on the radio. Pretty cool! :D

[jbrownsjr]

Everywhere Macy's Canoga Park

It sounded so good in there!

[DauphineMarie]

Watching Austin to Boston on Netflix, a documentary about British bands on the road in America, and for like 10 minutes one of the bands did an acapella cover of Songbird.. it was GORGEOUS!

[sadmabelnormand]

Walked into a diner a few days ago to go have dinner with the cast of the show I was in, and Edge Of Seventeen started playing!

[Wdm6789]

At the bar with an old friend of mine and Don't Stop comes on.

[Montclare]

Silver Springs in CVS. I think this is the third time FM has been playing while I've been in this particular CVS.

[DauphineMarie]

Angel in a Panera a few days ago... I almost spit out my soup

[jbrownsjr]

Love In Store DWS Encino

[louielouie2000]

I heard Think About Me at a Braum's in Hillsboro, Texas this evening. :D

[jwd]

Heard "Hypnotized" on the radio on my way to work a few weeks ago. It was on a new classic rock station that plays more obscure and deep cut tracks. Definitely refreshing to hear that song played and got my day off to a great start.

[Wdm6789]

My mom broke her hip recently and as I was driving her to the hospital she was freaking out because she was in so much pain. She has satellite radio in her car. Sara came on either 70s on 7 or The Bridge, those are the two stations I always listen to. Anyway Sara came on and I turned it up and told my mom to close her eyes and breathe and listen to this song.

[Wdm6789]

Don't Stop this morning on Fox & Friends. Christine's verse was playing.

[chiliD]

"Gypsy" in Trader Joe's last Saturday about 9:30am.

Still, my all time "Unexpected Mac" experience was hearing all 9 minutes of the original studio version of "Oh Well" in Outback Steakhouse in Garden Grove, CA in about 1999/2000.

You Make Loving Fun on the good classic rock station here, right when I got in the car the song just started. You know it's going to be a good drive.

I wish they played Sara on the radio here.

[louielouie2000]

I just heard Station Man on KUTX 98.9... John Aielli (probably Austin's most famous/revered DJ/host) mentioned today was the 45th anniversary of the release of Kiln House, and how that was the last album to feature Jeremy Spencer. :)

[chiliD]

Sunday night on "Coast-To-CoastAM" they used the original studio version of "Oh Well" as a bumper tune. George Knapp even called it Peter Green's "magnum opus"!! From what I've heard over the years, George Knapp has a very similar taste in music to mine.

[vivfox]

I heard GOLD with John Stewart and Stevie on the radio yesterday.But even more rare was hearing With Your Love by Jefferson Starship on the radio on Sundae evening.

[michelej1]

I heard a cover of World Turning playing at Red O. I don't know who the cover band was.

I don't think I've ever heard this song played in the wild before, by FM or anyone else. I only hear it when I'm playing it myself.
