What are you listening to right now?

had the old school country on for the morning errands

and now a little 80's hair for computer drudgery at school
 
After the Police I’ll listen to Tom Scott’s Tom Cat from ’76. The mid-late 70’s through 1982 were a treasure trove of variety. Fusion, prog, punk are some of my fav’s.
 
This song was played exclusively and repeatedly for 24 hours in 1975 when 96Rock in Atlanta (now defunct) was inaugurated. What an awesome introduction.https://open.spotify.com/track/2KmEgiY8fQs0G6WNxtzQKr?si=ZbQKJzt1QnK3OBLuft6SWw
 
Guaranteed / Level 42

Gary Husband - drums

Ah man when I first started playing my best friend who was a really good drummer and giging in multiple bands used to tell me "Your only listening to Rush bro, the British scene is hot" He started playing Genesis, Marillion and Level 42 cassettes in his car for me - these guys have a special place in my heart ?

 

This is a counting extravaganza ('/' is one bar of the indicated signature):

Code:
7/8 : / / / /   / / / /

7/8 : / / / /   / /   6/8 : /
6/8 : / / / /   / / /    7/8 : /
4/4 : / / / /   / / / /
7/8 : / / / /   / /   9/8 : /
6/8 : / / / /   / / /    7/8 : /

4/4 : / / / /   / / /    9/8 : /
6/8 : / / / /   / / / /   /    8/8 : /
                               ^^^
4/4 : / / / /   / / / /
7/8 : / / / /   / /
7/8 : / / / /   / /

EDIT: Updated from 9/8 to 8/8. Note there's a snare-crash played on the 'e' of 1 on the first bar of the chorus section (the '&' of 1 if counting in 8/8 or 4/4 cut time):

Code:
|1...2...3...4...|1...2...3...4...|
| o  o o o o oo o| o  o o o o oo o|
  ^
  snare-crash

The way you see it in textbooks (4/4 cut time):

|1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |
|  o     o   o   |o   o   o o   o |  o     o   o   |o   o   o o   o |


Rewriting the transcription in 4/4 cut time:
Code:
7/4 : / / / /   / / / /

7/4 : / / / /   / /   6/4 : /
6/4 : / / / /   / / /    7/4 : /
4/4 : / / / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /
7/4 : / / / /   / /   9/4 : /
6/4 : / / / /   / / /    7/4 : /

4/4 : / / / /   / / / /   / / / /   / /   9/4 : /
6/4 : / / / /   / / / /   /    4/4 : / /

4/4 : / / / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /
7/4 : / / / /   / /
7/4 : / / / /   / /
