Beatallica - All you need is Blood
(The Beatles' All You Need is Love in Metallica style)

Apparently, they made a whole CD of that song in different languages:
- Ce So Precisa Sangue (Portuguese)
- Koigil Vaja On Verd (Estonian)
- Tu N'as Besoin Que De Sang (French)
- Alle Sie Bedarf Ist Blut (German)
- Vad Az Eletem (Hungarian)
- Kol Shetzarikh Ae Dam (Hebrew)
- Quel Che ti Serve E' Sangue (Italian)
- Todo Lo Que Necesitas es Sangre (Mexican Spanish)
- Het Enige Dat Ye Nodig Hebt Is Bloed (Dutch)
- Potrzebujesz Krwi (Polish)
- Vsya Newzno Krov (Russian)
- Piga Pilyohe (South Korean)

Judging by the bad translation (and near unintelligeable pronounciation) of the German version I guess they're all pretty bad.

Jeff Buckley-Hallelujah (take that mr Cohen!)

As much as I think Leonard Cohen is a demigod, Buckley's cover of "Hallelujah" beats the original hands-down.  Jeff Buckley was the shit, plain and simple.  Rufus Wainright's cover makes me want to shoot myself in the mouth.

SALEM Ha'ayara Bo'eret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPIAuRzvRWg&feature=related)

שריפה, אחים שריפה! עיירתנו בוערת כולה, בה רוחות שחורות יסערו, להבות חורבן יבערו, עקבותיה לא נשארו, היא עולה באש, ואתם חובקים ידיים בלי הושיט עזרה בלי כבות את אש הלהב אש העיירה.

שריפה, אחים שריפה! רק בידכם בלבד היא העזרה, חיש הושיטו יד אוהבת והצילו מהמוות, בדמכם כבו שלהבת, חיש כבו בדם מרחוק אל תעמדו,כי האש עולה, אל נא תחבקו ידיים, השריפה גדולה!

שריפה, אחים שריפה! קרובה חס וחלילה השעה, כי הלהבות יתמידו, את כולנו פה ישמידו, רק שרידי קירות יעידו מה שפה היה, ואתם חובקים ידיים, בלי הושיט עזרה, בלי כבות את אש הלהב, אש העיירה.

The original yiddish text the song is based on:

Quotes'brent! briderlekh, s'brent!
   oy, undzer orem shtetl nebekh brent!

   undzer shtot mit undz tsuzamen
   zol oyf ash avek in flamen,
   blaybn zol - vi nokh a shlakht,

I really like the album, one of my favourites of the year so far. Took me a few a listens through the album before it clicked with me though. Love the parts with the Forest Queen. The singer playing her sounds a lot like PJ Harvey.

Me and the Devil Blues - Robert Johnson

Why does no one write lyrics like:

I'm going to beat my woman
Until I get satisfied

Anymore?

Because it's impossible?

Ben Nichols-The Last Pale Light in the West.  I'm rereading Blood Meridian, and am thus on a huge Western thing, and this is based directly on Blood.  It isn't bad, will take some time to judge though. I'd prefer something a bit scarier, though.

H.E.R.R. - The Fall of Constantinople (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaBdA88BV08)

QuoteThe city is lost now; there's no time for sleeping
We're dying; we're falling; our women are weeping
The souls of our children, like bricks and like mortar
So helpless and broken, like lambs to the slaughter

Enemy! Enemy at the gates!
Enemy! Enemy at the gates!
Enemy! Enemy at the gates!
At the gates! At the gates!

The wardrums are pounding a rhythm divine
Our soldiers are marching for one final time
The rabble approaches, now sensing our fear
Barbarian conquest, of all we hold dear

[chorus]

By Mehmed and Ishak our city is torn
Their ships anchored fast off the coast of the Horn
Our warriors lie helpless, now covered in flies
'Neath ragged aggressors with greed in their eyes

[chorus]

We can't match the strength of the Janissaries
Anatolian justice, we're brought to our knees
Byzantine heroes, struck dumb with awe
And labouring under the Saracen claw

[chorus]

Yeah, I downloaded it this morning when I got the email.  An overall excellent work.  "Take Her Out" is a great piece, and I'm very impressed with the total consistency of the album, especially the grinding urgency of "Acid Bubble" and "Lesson Learned".

Grunge rules, and makes me miss college.

I spent a couple of hours chatting to a lovely young Swedish girl today, she sent me this song. We talked of the glorious history of Sverige, particulary Karl XII. I'm not sure she's really convinced I'm not Swedish myself, instead of a really bored Swede. She hunts, fishes, dips (snus), votes for the Leftist parties, and knows her whiskey. She also told me her grandfather was a Swedish Nazi during WW2 who was wounded fighting the Russians in Finland in the Winter War.

I think I'm in love. :wub;

Yep! Ever since someone recommended them to me in the old #europauniversalis IRC channel back in 2001 or 2002 or so. My taste in music has changed a lot since then but this is one band I always come back to sooner or later. They have some great stuff that I never seem to get tired of.

Ah, so many memories in that album. In early 1990s we used to listen to that CD a lot on the car ride to/from school (especially fridays when we made a stop at the gas station to load up on beer for the weekend ride home). Not to mention the parties for which that album (together with GWAR, Faith No More, old Metallica ... ) was the soundtrack.

Neu!, Neu! 2, Neu! 75.  I swear Neu! were one of the single best groups in history.  Tragically overlooked except by pretentious muso types.  On the merits of Fassbinder and Neu! alone, 70's West Germany was 20th century Athens.  -_-

"Just Don't Bite It" by NWA

Homeboy : godamn, now lick my balls, oh shit.
Bitch : You like that?
Homeboy : Put 'em off
Bitch : It's good?
Homeboy : Ouch, shit, godamn bitch you bit' my damn, shit I said suck the
mothafucka, you're bitin' it, shit!
Narrator : Has this ever happend to you?
Does her teeth get in the way while she's sucking your dick?
Does she know how to suck a dick?
Well, I had that same problem until my bitch went out and buy
NWA's new book entitled "The art of sucking dick".
Bitch : Lesson 1 - First you grab the dick, next you gently lick it up
and down, then insert it into the mouth. Take it slow, don't rush
it, and before you know it ..
SPLASH!


Eazy E :

It goes one for the treble, two for the bass, She got nut all over her face
Kick kick it ...


Slow is the tempo, and Ren is gonna flow
As I produce and illustrate you to a ho'
Cought on the late night, Stampin' on the base-pipe
She's a hype to get you on the late flight
But back in school she was a cutie, yo
Then after graduation started givin' up the booty
In school, stuck her head in a feather
Every time I asked her what's the time
It was never ever what she would talk to the Ren I'm sayin'
I wanted a date, she would'nt even be my friend
But now in the 1990's, I'd be praying that the bitch don't find me
'cause she's got a gang o' kidz knuckle-heads and all dirty
And she's givin' pimp by a nigga that's 30
I saw her hangin' in the alley
Raggin' to her friends how she's ho'in' in de valley
All by herself, doin' on the whole strole
Commin' back home late night with the bankrob
You know a bitch like that makes me sick,
But I've heard that she sucks a good dick

Chorus :
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
"What do you want me to do with it?"
Don't matter just don't bite it
She swallowed it [yeaahh..]

At a high school dance -
Me and the niggaz bailed in
I saw her sittin' with her friends, With the clan,
So sexy, thought she was all that
She would'nt even look it up because we wore the black hat
She was a stuck-up bitch on the public floor
But an instant prostitute behind closed doorz
On the streets she's a late night feature
Walkin' home from school saw her suckin' a nigga'z dick, another bleacher
She saw me and she ran and tried to hide her face
But a bitch full of nut could'nt escape in the chase
A disgrace, If I ever ever saw her
There was'nt a nigga on the block
Late at night not gettin' done
So she begged me not to tell a soul
Then I said of course 'cause my dick you it's harder than a telepole
Then again it don't concern me
'cause there's a slight chance if I fuck she might burn me
And then I might have to shoot de ho'
I mean checkin' with de quickness just to let her know
But to prevent from gettin' sick -
I would just prefer to let her come and suck my dick

Chorus :
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
But does she suck a good dick?
Don't matter just don't bite it
She swallowed it [yeaahh..]

Now I was at a club on a late late sunday
Peepin' at the bitches 'till the next day monday
Had a couple of drinks, so I was feeling good
And suddenly I saw this bitch who lives in my neighborhood
She went to church every week so now I locked her
She was at the end of the bar gettin' fucked up
Back at the house she was bitch n' be ignorin'
And when she start to talk the ho' was kinda borin'
Yo, but now I got to dawn, see
Now she's dancin' on the floor with a skirt and no panties on
Shakin' that ass like a salt shaker
I already got my plans -
Just while I'm a take her to a room
But yo I mean a rest room
And stick my dick in her mouth like a wet broom
So I grabbed her hand and she's with it
Oh and when she turned sobber should'nt have had admit it
So while she's dropped I'd better get it quick
And see for myself if she sucks a good dick ..

Chorus :
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
"What do you want me to do with it?"
Don't matter just don't bite it
Lick de big dick, baby, I wanna fuck this one
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
It's the world's biggest dick
Don't matter just don't bite it
But does she suck a good dick?
Don't matter just don't bite it
She swallowed it
"So there you have it - a job well done, but for now let me get back to what
I was doing"
She swallowed it .. She swallowed it ..
Get it all baby, suck this dick, suck this dick for daddy
suck this diiiiiick
oh, she swallowed it .. get it all, suck this dick for daddy ..

Hey mothafuck, I want you to suck Dre's dick,
Then I want you to suck Yella dick
You already sucked Ren's dick ..

YOU BOYZ ARE DISGUSTING!
Just suck my dick bitch

Blind Guardian - Curse My Name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBeGq0NKWLU)

QuoteThe tenure of kings and their magistrates
By good men it must be deposed
The convenant made can be voided at once
Disanoint him, take his crown

They plead for their king
And they pity their lord
Put him to death, that's what I say

Though never so just these dancing divines
Endue him with reason and grace
They're gibberish
Words dissemble the facts
God's will
They falsely will claim

Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name
But remember the truth

So there they come
From everywhere
They witness revenge
Hear them calling
"You're laden with blood
It's spilled everywhere
And sorrow's everlasting

Oh you'll be aware now
That trial is near
It's close at hand
The masquerade is over
It ends
Remove his crown
and bring him down
Now we shall mourn no longer
Our prayers they've been heard
There's no more league
That will bind us to the tyrant
Our voices shall be heard
Cause we won't take it anymore

And we're one we are the nation
And we're one we are the law"

Falsely they praise
Deify his majesty
"He's blessed the anointed's
Fulfilling god's will"
Curse them all
No further he's king
Providence brought him straight into our hands

Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name But remember the truth

Now let him appear
There's joy in the air
Now witness a new age is dawning
In trouble alone
He's facing despair
Awaiting his bitter ending

We all know he's guilty as charged
By punishment due to his crime
We sacrifice the wicked king
Acknowledged by scriptures and law

Let him curse my name
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name But remember the truth
On these blood stained pages of misery
Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
Let him curse my name But remember the truth
We won't take it anymore
Our voice it shall be heard
But I will remember the truth
We won't take it anymore
Our voice it shall be heard
But I will remember the truth

Blind Guardian - War of the Thrones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7J_3MKZNQc)

QuoteNothing will grow here
Icy fields - blackened sorrow
Legacy of a lost mind
Feed my void
What you're waiting for

I'm too late
It is more than a game
The river reveals
Now I'm in between these lines
I cannot escape it seems
Sail on, my friend

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Walls they fall
When the march of the others begin

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

While I sit there in silence
Come and talk to me
I can't free my mind
It is all I'm begging for

While I sit there in silence

Will it ever end?
Will I find what I'm longing for?
Will I ever walk out of the shadows so grey?
I'm condemned, I am hallowed
Icy fields they won't hurt anymore

Will you walk with me?
Any further
There at world's end
It's me
I sing

I cannot escape it seems
Sadly I sing

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Walls they fall
When the march of the others begin

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

Away
Watch the river it flows
Now and ever
I cannot believe in more
And now my time will come
Carry on

Will I ever learn from the past?
Will I fade away?
Will I ever stay where the shadows will grow?
There is luck at the gallows
I will free my mind
Soon it will show

Let it rain
There'll be no spring
My dream is a mirror
It reveals a matter of lies

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

All I ever feel is
All I ever see is
Rise and fall
When the War of the Thrones shall begin

Leave a fee for the tillerman
And the river behind

The Bard`s Song - In the Forest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_tORtmKIjE)

QuoteNow you all know
The bards and their songs
When hours have gone by
I'll close my eyes
In a world far away
We may meet again
But now hear my song
About the dawn of the night
Let's sing the bards' song

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow will take it away
The fear of today
It will be gone
Due to our magic songs

There's only one song
Left in my mind
Tales of a brave man
Who lived far from here
Now the bard songs are over
And it's time to leave
No one should ask you for the name
Of the one
Who tells the story

Tomorrow will take us away
Far from home
No one will ever know our names
But the bards' songs will remain
Tomorrow all will be known
And you're not alone
So don't be afraid
In the dark and cold
'Cause the bards' songs will remain
They all will remain

In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarfs and men
And elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too

Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song-The Hobbit  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkT2IOQVfIs)

QuoteOut in the distance
There's so much gold
The treasure that I've found
Is more than enough
Far to the hill we've to go
Over the mountains and seas
To the old hill
Where the old dragon sleeps
Blind in the dark dungeon's night
So God please take me away from here
And Gollum shows the way right out

I'm alive

The dying dragon brought trouble and pain
And horror to the halls of stone
I'll take the mighty stone
And leave the dwarfs behind
Ice and fire and forest we passed
And horror in the halls of stone

Trolls in the dark
The dawn took them all
Caught in the wood
By the wooden king's men
But now I'm alone
'Cause I've made up my mind
By the spell of gold

The king under the mountain
Will risk the great war
Oh what a fool
He's losing control
So I am trying to find a way
Blind in the dark dungeon's night

Primordial - Death of the Gods

QuoteWe stood on the shoulders of giants
Like atlas with the burden of faith
We clasped our hands in praise
Of a conqueror's right to tyranny
This is a language that has not passed
Our lips in one thousand years

So heretics I call to you
Partisans stand as one
Rebels raise your voices
If not then all is lost

This is the death of the Republic and make no mistake
The senate is lost and Zeus is laughing
So Mars God of war can you send a lightning bolt
To smash the temple of the blind
The Tiber is over flowing with the blood of innocent men

And so we stood, among thieves, liars and murderers
Whose names shall live in eternal rest and infamy
Disgraced kings enshrined with their pious men
Who ruled us all with the bloodied spear of destiny

You knew my name before I was born
You knew my death from the moment it passed my lips

This is the death of the Republic
Dead and gone with Pearse in the grave
Haunted to the end by the ghosts of Connolly's army
Skeletal fingers on the trigger of Collins' demise
And Parnell's dreams are turned to nothing but dust

"And I say to my people's masters: beware, beware of the
thing that is coming, beware of the risen people, who shall
take what we would not give.
Did ye think to conquer the people, or that law is stronger
than life and than men's desire to be free?"

Quote from: Book of Mormon Musicall

Ever since I was a child I tried to be the best
So what happened?
My family and friends all said I was blessed,
So what happened?
It was supposed to be all so exciting,
To be teaching of Christ across the sea
But I allowed my faith to be shaken,
Oh, what's the matter with me?

I've always longed to help the needy,
to do the things I never dared
This was the time for me to step up,
so why was I so scared?

A warlord who shoots people in the face-
What is so scary about that?
I must trust that my Lord is mightier
and always has my back
Now, I must be completely devout
I must not have one shred of doubt

I believe
That the Lord God created the universe
I believe
That he sent his only son to die for my sins
and I believe
That ancient jews built boats and sailed to America
I am a Mormon!
And a mormon just believes

You cannot just believe partway
You have to believe in it all
The problem was doubting the Lord's will,
Instead of standing tall!

I cannot allow myself to have any doubt,
it is time to set my worries free!
Time to show the world what Elder Price is about,
and share the power inside of me!

I believe
That God has a plan for all of us
I believe
That plan involves me getting my own planet
And I believe
That the current president of the church, Thomas Monson,
speaks directly to God!
I am a Mormon
a Mormon just believes

I know that I must go and do
The things my God commands
I realize now why he sent me here
If you ask the Lord in faith,
He will always answer you
just believe in him, and have no fear!

I believe
that Satan has a hold of you!
I believe
that the Lord God has sent me here
And I believe
That in 1978 God changed his mind about black people
They can be Mormons
Mormons who just believe

And now I can feel the excitement,
this is the moment I was born to do
and I feel so incredible
to be sharing my faith with you
the Scriptures say, if you ask in faith
If you ask God himself, you'll know
But you must ask Him without any doubt,
and let your spirit grow!

I believe
that God lives on a planet called Kolob
I believe
That Jesus has his own planet as well!
And I believe
That the garden of eden was in Jackson County, Missouri!

Exceedingly fond of this musical. Have listened to all its songs at least four times.

Edit: It'd be inexcusable of me not to include, for the sake of a special segment of Languish's population,  this snippet:

Quote from: Book of Mormon Musicall
When I was in fifth grade,
I had a friend, Steve Blade
He and I were as close as two friends could be
One thing led to another, and soon I would discover
I was having really strange feelings for Steve
I thought about us on a deserted island
we'd strip naked in the sea, and then he'd try and..
Woah! turn it off, like a light switch
My hetero side just won!

(good for you!)

I'm all better now
Boys should be with girls,
that's Heavenly Father's plan
So if you ever feel you'd rather be with a man
turn it off!

(Well, Elder McKinley, I think it's okay that you're having gay THOUGHTS,
so long as you never act on them..)

No!
Because then you're just keeping it down
like a dimmer switch
on low
(on low)
thinking nobody needs to know
(uh oh)
But that's not true!
Being Gay's bad, but lying is worse
So just realize you have a curable curse
and turn it off!

Just came across a Polish modernist: Krzysztof Penderecki and his Passion of St. Luke. Very nice piece, with both good solo pieces and choral work. It's a bit avant garde, but not to the extent of being 60 minutes of power tools cutting into a slate of metal.

Speaking of The Gaslight Anthem, they're playing as warmup with Biffy Clyro for Foo Fighters in Copenhagen on june 26.

Brilliant band.

I first heard them last year in 2009. Great band; got two of their albums.  :cool:

Can you believe these mincing West Slav losers named themselves after a fucking Baltimora song?  The Baltimora song?  I hope a direct lineal descendant of Jimmy McShane's HIV load strikes them down for their hubris.

Here's some offensive polka disco crap, the kind of music I assume plays in Martinus' head constantly and makes him do the things he does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ltwi-Mk8CI&feature=related

Frank Sinatra, Ring-a-ding-ding (album, remastered).

The first Reprise release ever.  No Nelson Riddle, but it sounds just as good as Songs for Swingin' Lovers, Frank and Nelson's best collaboration.  Sinatra at the peak of his second wind, with great orchestration and song choice.  Just amazing.

It turns out that if you get Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Debbie Harry, Sting, Lady Gaga and woman I don't know to sing Don't Stop Believing, it sounds exactly like what would happen if you got any random six people to get up on a stage to sing Don't Stop Believing, although you may have fewer shirtless dudes dancing around behind them, depending on venue.

Well, Springsteen's personality almost comes across.

I'd do one of the ones that only Springsteen fans know, so most listeners would think it was "my" song.

Do people know "Spirits in the Night"?

I wonder if rock stars know that songs about getting laid a lot in high school are mildly depressing, as opposed to bittersweet, for people who didn't get laid in high school. :hmm:

 :lol:

I went to a concert last night at Slim's in SF. Kamelot. Opening acts The Agonist, Blackguard, Alestorm. Kind of a thing for my birthday.

The Agonist: Sort of a gothy metal band with one growler and a chick singer...who also growls. Meh. The chick seemed like she could sing well, but her mike was too low for me to hear her. Plus, she growled too, so whatever kind of voice she has now won't last long doing that. I have never heard of them before yesterday. They didn't seem totally untalented behind the growling, but I didn't really like their set. It's possible they sound a little better on recording, but I'm too lazy to look.

Blackguard: These asshats from Montreal I have seen before. A few months ago when I went to a Symphony X show (who rocked). They are a growly speed metal band--again, not untalented musicians, but they know one speed and do one thing. And it's not my thing. I was disappointed to see them on the schedule. I'd rather see something I've never seen before but at least has a chance to be good than something I know I won't be into. Like the previous time I saw them I also saw that band PowerGlove (yes, named after the Nintendo controller), which was a lot of fun.

Alestorm: This band comes from Scotland and Northern Ireland. The singer is clearly one of the NI guys, judging from his accent. They do metal about drinking and piracy. It's like the Irish metal pirate rovers. Frankly, I was thoroughly entertained. I like the Irish Rovers doing pub songs and this was basically that turned up to eleven. No ninjas allowed.

Kamelot: Well well, what do I say? When I bought the tickets for this show, singer Roy Khan had not yet left the band officially. When I found out about it, I figured I'd go anyway, what the hell. You probably don't know, but he is easily one of the best metal singers ever, and it was around the time he joined the band that they really became good, IMO. It's like Maiden without Bruce. There are rumors that he found God and decided metal wasn't christian enough. Imagine that. A band full of a bunch of guys from Florida, and one Norwegian, and it's the bloody viking who decides to quit for Jesus. Damn Eurofundies. But truth be told, the man has incredible talent. I would have a hard time definitively calling any of the top-tier singers in the genre better than him. Or even the best opera singers. Whatever. He's a nun now. What a fucking shame.
    The guy replacing him for the tour was an Italian guy with the hopelessly stereotypical name of Fabio Lione. He's from a band called Rhapsody of Fire. He did a good job, but he was no substitute. Still, the show was good. The Florida guys all still kick ass. Keyboardist Oliver Pelotai's girlfriend Simone Simmons (from Epica) is apparently traveling with them and did her parts on all the songs she guest-recorded with Kamelot. She's awesome. And hott.
    So, still fun. Decent show. Hell, I'd go see Barney on Ice if my wife would dress like she did last night...

:lol: I really need to keep up with this thread more.  S and I saw this lineup when they hit Philly a few days later.  We both agreed the bondage gear could be put to much better use for the chick from the Agonist. :perv:

Other than that, same assessment, although Fabio managed to fuck up The Human Stain, which is probably one of the easiest songs in Kamelot's set.  Tom Youngblood (guitarist/de facto bandleader) did NOT look amused.

Post by: Ideologue on November 08, 2011, 09:43:40 PM
The Gin Blossoms' The New Miserable Experience was pretty much 90s weenie rock (e.g. Soul Asylum, Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows) at its finest.  I'd take it over August and Everything After.

I think everybody owns a copy of Cracked Rear View.  They were finding that shit in caves in Afghanistan.  It's weird to go back and listen to it now that it's not being overplayed so badly you want them to die and their names removed from the histories, and realize it was in fact basically okay.

If someone was gonna own just one BR album, though, I'd have guessed Stranger Than Fiction.  That actually got radio airplay and afaik was their most successful, mainstream offering (and also probably their best album).

It never fails to crack me up when I'm at a restaurant or in a mall or whatever and "Semi-Charmed Life" comes on the store radio.  Meth addiction and blowjobs: it's fun for the whole family.

I was all set to mock you for your musical taste, but then you mentioned one of my favourite songs of all time. :(

I'm the arbiter of culture.  There's no piece of art I like that isn't objectively great.

Bad Religion--21st Century (Digital Boy) (1990 version from Against The Grain).

A review of this thread shows that to be demonstrably untrue.

I was thinking more along the lines of a blind chipmunk... :P

Inspired by Skyrim:

Týr - Regin Smiður (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5zNK--DUDg)

QuoteViljið tær nú lýða á
meðan eg man kvøða
Um teir ríku kongarnar
sum eg vil nú um røða

Grani bar gullið av heiði
Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði
Sjúrður vá á orminum
Grani bar gullið av heiði

Hundings synir í randargný
teir skaðan gørdu har
Eitur var í svørinum
teir bóru móti mær

Fávnir eitur ormurin
á Glitrarheiði liggur
Regin er ein góður smiður
fáum er hann dyggur

Hann var sær á leikvøllum
imillum manna herjar
Rívur upp eikikelvi stór
hann lemjir summar til heljar

Eystantil undri heyginum
ið dreingir eyka tal
Dimmur er hesin dapri dagur
niður í mold at fara

Har komm maður á vøllin fram
eingin ið hann kendi
Síðan hatt á høvdi bar
og finskan boga í hendi

Har komm maður á vøllin fram
hann vá við eggjateini
Eyga hevði hann eitt í heysi
knept var brók at beini

Ormurin er skriðin av gullinum
tað man frættast víða
Sjúrður setist á Granar bak
hann býr seg til at ríða

Grani bar gullið av heiði
Brá hann sinum brandi av reiði
Sjúrður vá á orminum
Grani bar gullið av heiði

[Translation:]

Regin Blacksmith

Will you now listen
whilst I will sing.
About the rich kings
that I will now speak of

Greyfell carried the gold from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold from the heath

Hundings sons at war
they did damage there
Poison was in the sword
they carried against me

Fafnir is the name of the dragon
that lies on the Glittering Heath
Regin is a good blacksmith
to few is he faithfull

He was on fields of play
rages amongst men
Tears up large oak trunks
he maims some to Hel

On the easten side under the mound
where heroes grow in numbers
Dark is this sad day
down in the mould to go

A man stepped forward upon the field
Noone knew him
He had a wide hat on his head
and a Finnish bow in his hand

A man stepped forward upon the field
raging with his sword
He had one eye
and his trouser legs were buttoned

The dragon has slithered of the gold
it is rumoured widely
Sigfried seats himself on Greyfells back
he prepares himself to ride

Greyfell carried the gold from the heath
He swung his sword in wrath
Sigfried defeated the dragon
Greyfell carried the gold from the heath

QuoteWenn de Wind dör de Bööm weiht,
Un Gras nich mehr wassen deiht,
Un geel all ward, denn kummt de Tied.
Wenn de Storm över't Feld geiht
Wo lang schon keen Korn mehr steiht,
Un Mehl all ward, denn ist bald sowiet.
Dat de Dag kötter ward un de Nach de duert lang,
Un de kinner vun Nabar, de warn in Düstern bang.
Wenn de Regen vun't Reitdach dröppt,
Mien Söhn buten gauer löppt,
Sonst ward he natt, denn snurrt bin'n de Kat

Wenn de Wind dreiht, vun Nord weiht,
Un Reg'n geg'n de Finster neiht,
De Schieb'n dahl rennt, denn föhl ik mi wohl.
Wenn dat Füer in Kamin brennt,
Un jeder di bi'n Vörnam nennt,
Weil he di kennt, denn is uns Hus vull.
Denn de Nabern sünd disse Tied ok nich geern alleen,
Un bi Teepunsch an't Füer ward de Wedder weder schön.
Wenn de Blädder sik brun farvt,
Un Water steiht inne Groof,
Denn ward dat Harvs, op uns Fresenhof.

The Monolith Deathcult - Master of the Bryansk Forest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-iuK_2DPA)

Quote"The 1st Regiment Kaminski ... has drunken itself by way of the Reichstrasse up to the Machorka Factory"
[The German Eighth Army war diary]

The Kaminski Brigade started anti-partisan operations in cooperation with the Germans, but along with the Dirlewanger Brigade (mentioned on The White Crematorium: Army of the Despised) both brigades are among the most infamous for their role during the Warsaw uprising. The atrocious behaviour of the brigade during this uprising was horrendous. Even people like the far from gentle East Front occupier Reichskommissar Wilhelm Kube attempted everything in their power to cleanse both brigades from 'his' territory. There are many sources who claim that even the most hardened SS-men were embarrassed and sickened by the inhuman deeds of the brigades, and that these brigades were a blot even on the bloodied history pages of the SS.

Bronislaw Kaminski was commander of the brigade. Through his recruitment and draft he raised the ranks of the brigade, which consist of deserters, homosexuals, dissidents, political prisoners, criminals and violators, to 20,000 men to combat the Soviet partisans who were counterattacking from the forests of Bryansk. The Soviet partisans nicknamed him "the master of the Bryansk forests".

Andrew Sisters & Danny Kaye - Civilization (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCY09s-c41A)

QuoteEach morning, a missionary advertises neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see

So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords, I make it clear
That no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here

I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed (Magazine? What happens?)
I see how people who are civilized bung you with automobile (You know you can get hurt that
way Daniel?)
At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see (What do they see, Darling?)
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me

So bongo, bongo, bongo, he don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, he's so happy in the jungle, he refuse to go
Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis, noise in my ear
So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here

They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smokey and it's crowded, they're too civilized to complain
When they've got two weeks vacation, they hurry to vacation ground (What do they do, Darling?)
They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round

So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go
Don't want no jailhouse, shotgun, fish-hooks, golf clubs, I got my spears
So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here

They have things like the atom bomb, so I think I'll stay where I "ahm"
Civilization, I'll stay right here!

They sure don't make'em like this anymore.

I did my service then, artillery. This was our "anthem":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqHQ_wWbG9Y

QuoteBoom boom boom now let me hear you say wayoh (wayoh)
I say boom boom boom now everybody say wayoh (wayoh)
I say boom boom boom now let me hear you say wayoh (wayoh)
I say boom boom boom now everybody say wayoh

Ow, I came to make you shake it
Till you break it
Caress your body until you're naked
Bend you over
Grab your shoulder
Slip my peter inside your folder
Make you sweat-a
Get you wet-a
Pump it faster to make it better
Dim the the lights then lock the room
Cause now it's time for me to hit that boom

Girl your booty is so round
I just wanna lay you down
Let me take you from behind
I won't come until it's time
But if I cannot sleep with you
Maybe I could have a taste
Put your niney on my tongue
And your booty on my face

We were warrior poets. :wub:

Hawkwind - Space Ritual - Alive In London.

Man, does anyone still write lyrics like these:

Quote
The Awakening (Calvert)

I'd rather the fire-storm of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a hundred years
Of dream, into the starkness of the capsule.
Two of our crew still lay suspended, cool
In their tombs of sleep. The nagging choirs
Of memory, the lenghts of tube, and wires
Worming from their flesh to machinery
I would have to cut. Such midwifery
Is just one function of the leader here:
Floating in a sac of fluid dark, a clear
Century of space away from Earth.
One man stared from the trauma of this birth
Attentive to the tapes asssuring him
This was reality, however grim:
Our journey's end. The landing itself
Was nothing. We just touched upon a shelf
Of rock selected by the Automind.
And left a galaxy of dreams behind.....

Florence + The Machine's new album is as damned good, if not better, than their first.  That woman has some serious lungs.

I really like "Shake It Out."  I guess that's from the newer one.

Pretty hymn I heard today. I think Lutherans have some of the best, and I quite enjoyed it.

Quote
My song is love unknown,
My Savior's love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.
O who am I, that for my sake
My Lord should take, frail flesh and die?

He came from His blest throne
Salvation to bestow;
But men made strange, and none
The longed for Christ would know:
But O! my Friend, my Friend indeed,
Who at my need His life did spend.

Sometimes they strew His way,
And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King:
Then "Crucify!" is all their breath,
And for His death they thirst and cry.

Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight,
Sweet injuries! Yet they at these
Themselves displease, and 'gainst Him rise.

They rise and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they saved,
The Prince of life they slay,
Yet cheerful He to suffering goes,
That He His foes from thence might free.

In life, no house, no home
My Lord on earth might have;
In death no friendly tomb
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say? Heav'n was His home;
But mine the tomb wherein He lay.

Here might I stay and sing,
No story so divine;
Never was love, dear King!
Never was grief like Thine.
This is my Friend, in Whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend.

Heard it earlier on the radio, had never heard it before, but I liked it.  Unfortunately, I couldn't remember much except it was pretty obviously ELO and the tune.  Thus it took twenty minutes of listening to the tail ends of unknown ELO songs on Youtube to find it. :bleeding:  I did actually kind of remember the words but "slow down" sounds a lot like "Showdown" and "it's over" sounds exactly like "It's Over." <_<

Still pretty worth it. :)

Exploring ELO before Discovery (Disco? Very!) is worthwhile.

Even better, check out Shazam! (ELO before they were ELO, basically).  Somebody actually bought a copy of Discovery from me last week, and I felt the need to disclaimer it that it doesn't sound anything like the latter stuff.

Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song: The Hobbit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqUQnKevI3k)

Two classics by Blind Guardian.

Not quite up there with their recent offerings, like Wheel of Time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNnhhejBkW8) (YouTube sound quality can't quite keep up with that one) or even Curse My Name (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbwG1DCnQSU&feature=like-suggest) (based on Milton's The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates - YouTube link has fitting sequences from To Kill A King (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0302436/)), but still nice.

It's not as good as 1, 3, 4*, or 5 and I generally didn't listen to music that long without finding something more active to do. It's a decent song though.

*Well, at least I liked that one better back when I used to listen to this cd/cds in general. Now I'm not so sure.

I was gonna buy In the Court of the Crimson King the iTunes or similar, but it was not there. :(

So I bought that old Foster the People album instead, and have been listening to its various songs randomly placed throughout my iPod (and "Houdini" roughly one hundred times in a row; I'm sort of embarrassed that I'm probably not really exaggerating -_-).  I can't appear to move them all into one place at once, because Apple makes horrible products, or at least products with opaque user interfaces.

I think I might buy that new phone tomorrow.

New York jury selection is the worst. In California, they assign all of you to a group and you can call the night prior to find out if your group need report in.  Here in NYC, everyone has to show up and then you hang out for 2-3 days waiting for court room requests for juries. If one never comes then you're done for 6 years.  Today they let us out at 3 after not even one of us was brought into a court room.  Here's to hoping this trend continues. :cheers: :D

I've listened to it 3 times and I think overall it's good, there are 2-3 rather good tracks out of the 7, definitely reminds me of UK and 80s Yes in places, which isn't a surprise given some of whose who've contributed.

Apparently there's more in the pipeline, along this format, plus another power prog project  of this sort, but involving different musicians, perhaps more fusion orientated.  :cool:

 Asia - There Was A Time.

Not at all bad considering it's off one of their recent albums and nicely appropriate lyrics.

Quote
Asia:There Was A Time

There was a perfect time for us, it seems so long ago
We were so naïve about the things we both should know
The best intentions come to nil when love has lost desire
And slowly years will show the dying embers of a fire

There was a time when I loved you
And a time when I lied
I put none up above you
And I tried, yes I tried
I'd stand aside, so you could be free
But all of the time I was running from me,
I'd lay down my life, if you'd asked that of me,
Yeah, there was a time

To look at all the years gone by, I made mistakes it's true
It's always just the little things remind me of you
All too often, I will sit, and wonder where I've been
For every time I looked at you, you're thinking of him

There was a time I respected you,
There were times when I cried
When I was expected to, I would stand at your side
And you ask me would I do it again,
I would tell you the truth, look you straight in your eyes
And I'd say it though most would think me insane
I'd say it although I have nothing to gain
Yeah, There was a time

I laid down my life for you
And think of when I lied for you
And think of when I cried for you
And you know I would have died for you

There was a time when I loved you
And a time when I lied
There were none up above you
And for you, I'd have died
But the big wheel turns at last
When all my emotions were tied up with you
My hopes and my dreams could never win through
The path has been cleared, now I'm free of you
Yeah, now is my time

There will come a time for you
There will come a time for you
There will come a time for you
There will come a time for you

Fibber McGee and Molly, at work.  Pretty funny, but from my sample so far, one can expect something unnervingly racist every two hours, because it's the 40s and that's how people talked.  However, it's not belligerent or anything, and while the phrase "mighty white of you" doesn't get spoken very much anymore on the radio, to be fair people still say "gypped" all the time--especially subhuman bigots like Hungarians. :)  I like the snappy, goofy scripting.

And Gildersleeve's got his own spin-off too?  I'll have to see if that's around.

Listening to a compilation cd of 'Cream' tracks; I'm acquainted with the classics, but damn they wrote some good songs and had a very distinct sound that's stood the test of time a lot better than much of the twee 60s rock/pop music of the time.  :cool:

  Something in Reimu's cast has very much the air of the conquering champion, and it is magnetic. So used to making much of the vanquished, to think on a triumphant brute returning with contemptuous confidence has an alluring novelty.

Post by: Ideologue on October 13, 2012, 10:10:01 PM
My favorite part of the Johnson's Wax Program with Fibber McGee and Molly is the product placement done by the eponymous sponsor of the show.  At the beginning and end of the program, it's done in normal radio advertisement, but interstitially the product is hawked by a character named Harlow Wilcox, one of the McGee's neighbors.  He is fucking psychopathic about Johnson's Self-Polishing Glo Coat and will unfailing steer every conversation, regardless of original subject, toward the object of his bizarre obsession.

What's interesting is that, as much as we complain about product placement, it's really more or less the same as it ever was.  All the way back in 1941, there were completely out-of-place shills for media sponsors; except back then they were a lot funnier about it.

Gildersleeve gets his own show.  Well, daddrat it.  It's not like Golden Girls and Empty Nest here.  Gildersleeve is moving out from Wistful Vista to Summerville, so they're not even neighbors anymore.  Also, Mrs. Gildersleeve is either missing or she's dead.  Apparently The Great Gildersleeve was pioneering in that it was the first radio show to have a single parent blah blah blah

I suppose if there was ever a time to download and start listening to The Great Gildersleeve, it's now.  Harold Peary is a formidable talent, and I'm sure it's funny.  But I'm betting that by splitting Fibber and Gildy up those beancounting nimrods at NBC traded one great show for two okay ones.  I'm writing a letter.

The Awakening:

(Calvert)
I'd rather the fire-storm of atmospheres
Than this cruel descent from a hundred years
Of dream, into the starkness of the capsule.
Two of our crew still lay suspended, cool
In their tombs of sleep. The nagging choirs
Of memory, the lenghts of tube, and wires
Worming from their flesh to machinery
I would have to cut. Such midwifery
Is just one function of the leader here:
Floating in a sac of fluid dark, a clear
Century of space away from Earth.
One man stared from the trauma of this birth
Attentive to the tapes asssuring him
This was reality, however grim:
Our journey's end. The landing itself
Was nothing. We just touched upon a shelf
Of rock selected by the Automind.
And left a galaxy of dreams behind.....

Love the lyrics.

I miss you, I need you.

I've got to keep my memories aside,
I've got to try to live again.

edit 2:

Damn, I've always loved the third track, brillant twin lead guitars and for some reason the lyrics again have some meaning.

Quote

I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her.
I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.

She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.

Elena Vaenga - Na pole tanki grokhotali (In the field the tanks rumbled) - Live.

QuoteIn the field the tanks rumbled
The soldiers went to the last battle.
And a young commander
We carried, his head pierced.

His tank was hit by an armor piercing shell
Farewell my dear crew.
Four corpses near the tank
Will add to the landscape in the morning.

The machine is enveloped in a fire
Munitions will explode soon
I want so much to live, guys
But no strength to get out

They will extract us from the debris
They will remove the carcass by hand
And the salvos of cannon turrets
On the last trip accompany us

And then will fly telegrams
For, friends and relatives, to tell,
That the son will not return
And will not be visiting some time

In the corner, the old mother will cry
The father old man will drop a tear,
And the young bride will never know
What was the end of the boy

And there will remain a dusty picture
On the shelf with yellowed books.
In uniform, with epaulettes.
Now he is no longer married

Just got back from the Dave Matthews Band concert tonight.  Awesome opening with a 14 minute jam of "Seek Up".  The Lumineers opened. 
Scared the living piss out of two little Ideologue shithead teens that lit up a blunt behind me, but other than that, a pleasant experience.

QuoteHey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly.
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to and from the enemy.
Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough,
Can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight almost every night,
Down throughout these centuries.
That is when I say, oh yes yet again,
Can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home,
In the nuclear fallout zone.
Wish I could be dancing now,
In the arms of the girl I love.

While the Czar and Jim have tea.
If I get home, live to tell the tale,
I'll run for all presidencies.
If I get elected I'll stop—
I will stop the cavalry.

One fun thing about Spotify is that you can quickly find cover versions of songs. I was surprised to learn that there's a Swedish version of the song "Battle of New Orleans".

Also, there's a cover of the song by British band Cornershop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNM0Od9rcMI), with Sitar and all. Why does this exist?

I saw them in 1993, they were the opening act for U2's Zoo TV tour.

At the time U2 were a planetary powerhouse, PJ were not still a cult band, but lots of people didn't know them.

PJ started playing their songs in front of a crowd of 40.000, and the crowd in response... started to roar and boo them because they wanted their fucking U2  to come on the stage :rolleyes:

And I was ARE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS? LET THEM PLAY FFS!

But Damn she has a fine, first rate voice; why have I not realised this before ?  :hmm:

Dean Martin - Standing on the Corner

It was a more innocent age . . . men standing on street corners perving after girls. :lol:

QuoteStanding on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don't know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

I'm the cat that got the cream
Haven't got a girl but I can dream
Haven't got a girl but I can wish
So I'll take me down to Main street
And that's where I select my imaginary dish

Standing on a corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on a corner giving all the girls the eye
Brother if you've got a rich imagination
Give it a whirl, give it a try
Try standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

Brother you can't go to jail for what you're thinking
Or for that woo look in your eye
Standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by

He actually has Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree) doing a lot of his recent remasters. I picked up Lizard just today, it's a 2009 remaster (both 2.1 pcm and 5.1) that he did with Steve Wilson. It does sound very good.

Sweet.

QuoteDepeche Mode have announced they will release "Heaven," the first single from their upcoming 13th studio album Delta Machine, on February 1.

"I am very happy with how the album turned out," said the band's songwriter Martin Gore in a press release. "The music has a similar vibe to Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion and I think the songs on the album are among some of the very best we've done."

Lead singer Dave Gahan added that the release "has a very organic and direct feel to it. It's not a blues record, but it definitely has a soulful vibe. During the recording process we really tried to get the elements of performing and the live show into the album more."

Delta Machine, the follow-up to 2009's Sounds of the Universe, will be released March 26 on Columbia Records.

Suede sounded like Suede. Boring.
Prince sounded like Prince. Only with an added twist of a ridiculous voice at the end. Undecided.
MBV sounded like MBV. 90's with a little more crisp guitar. Good, will be getting that album.

I, CALIGVLA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSW01sWSPQY) (the gladiator fight was lame, appreciated the bare bottom spanking, though)

Quote"On this glorious day... I declare Gaius Augustus Germanicus, Emperor of Rome!"

I, Caligvla am god made flesh, thy rope around your neck... this is the will of the gods!
I, Caligvla am master of all your fears, thy might colossal, these hands are drenched in blood!

Bow to me, you worthless swine... the sky will fall from grace
All these voices left on unheard, dead and buried in my dominion

Whisper... Whisper... whisper words of domination

I am life, I am death, your souls left to waste
I am everything you need and all the things you fear

Whisper... Whisper... whisper words of insanity

They killed my mother, they killed my father... who am I but the true face of ROME

Traitors shall be crucified, their women and children thrown from the Tarpeian rock

I thirst your blood, I want it all!!

I, Caligvla am god made flesh, thy rope around your neck... this is the will of the gods!
I, Caligvla am master of all your fears, thy might colossal, these hands are drenched in blood

Kneel... Kneel... Kneel... before for me

Kneel... Kneel... Kneel... for I am god!

EX DEO - The Final War (Battle Of Actium) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcfaltp8CL0)

QuoteThis is the final war along the Ionian Sea, the Battle of Actium
Mark Antony's forces to engage Octavian's legions at sea
Breaking the alliance of the Second Triumvirate
Cleopatra and Antony to defy
Caesarion named King of Kings
A lethal threat to Octavian
Two Hundred Thirty warships at sea
Headed by the great Mark Antony
Devastating loss forces retreat
Agrippa's forces led by experience at sea
Roma shines once again, Octavian's forces powerful and unmatched
Two hundred ships lost
Five Thousand lives lost
Broken line, broken will
There's no place for glory to heal
Raised in blood, raised in fear
There's no place for honor to heal
There's no place for glory, there's no place for honor...
Cleopatra
Bring this war to foreign land, Alexandria
The final encounter between two of Rome's greatest leaders comes to an end
Two hundred thirty warships at sea
Headed by the great Mark Antony
Devastating loss forces retreat
Agrippa's forces led by experience at sea
Roma shines once again, Octavian's forces powerful and unmatched
Two hundred ships lost
Five thousand lives lost
Broken line, broken will
There's no place for glory to heal
Raised in blood, raised in fear
There's no place for honor to heal
There's no place for glory, there's no place for honor...

You realize that heavy metal bands, in general, are nerdier than other musicians when you realize that there's at least two songs around about the Battle of Actium (the other being part of a power metal concept album about the murder of Caesar and the subsequent Roman Civil War). :nerd:

Anyways, when's Rome 2: Total War due to be out? :P

In Germany, if your parents or grandparents are above a certain age you've most likely been exposed to Volksmusik TV shows. Volksmusik is not only Oompah, but also shallow Schlager with a mountain backdrop.

A subset of Volksmusik shows has the show "on location" with "bands" performing their bits in front of picturesque landscapes.

This Austrian metal band copies that aesthetic to the i. :lol:

Kontrust - Bomba (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUO9SNCBL6U)

Without sound you could think this is from a "normal" Volksmusik show.

And yes, that's actually their stage dress.

Oddly I'm trying out a particular type of MP3 player I bought a few of a couple of years back, to give to family and friends. Couldn't get them anywhere in Europe, so got them off a friendly California dub.

Turns out for such a cheap player, it has a really nice warm sound, like there's a boost at about 1Khz, that brings the vocals to the fore. Sounds rather good.  :cool:

You know sometimes compilation albums, rather than the original releases, are a good idea.

Looking to buy some more Vangelis music, found a compilation that covers three or four 70s album, listening to exerts on amazon/streaming is a very mixed experience, but guess what the compilation's 'editor' has chosen well, including all of the decent tracks and leaving out the dross/self-indulgent stuff.   :cool:

Bowie's The Next Day.  "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" is still far and away the standout song, but it's a solid album, and after a couple of listen-throughs it's really growing on me.  B+  OH SHIT I'M DOING IT HERE NOW

I also got BR's True North.  I think I reviewed the, uh, promotional copy a week or so back; if I didn't, it was good but not great.  But like I'm not going to throw Dr. Graffin and company twelve bucks every couple of years.  I'd probably do it out of habit even if they didn't release an album.

My cousin and wife, who live in New Jersey, are obsessed with him to the extent of having seen him 64 odd times and travel around following his tours from venue to venue.  If you heard them, you'd think he's the only musician in the whole world.  :rolleyes:

No idea if I'd like his music, but I'd never give it a try as their insane fandom has put me off completely.

I like lots of bands, some a great deal, but I'd never claim they're the be all and end all of music. And can appreciate other musical preference are by definition just as 'valid', generally.  :)

Just watching a 'Top of the Pops' on tv, it featured Kate Bush at No.1 singing 'Wuthering Heights'.

A odd/novel presentation Ms Bush, dressed in black sitting at a grand piano, which was festooned with lilacs.
Certainly made an impression on my at the time, just looked at the date of broadcast, 16/03/78, just over 35 years ago!  :)

If you like Kate Bush, here's an engaging late night interview she gave on the same day:

By your logic, no one who was born after about 1950 should be able to have an appreciation of the Beatles.

Wrong side of bed this morning?  :)

There does logic come into it ?

An opinion about music is just a view point and a matter of ones own tastes, not a foundation on which to build universal laws about music appreciation. 

But I suppose that is not the correct languish way of seeing things.


Your construction of a strawman out of the 2nd quoted passage is positively grumbleresque, you are to be congratulated.  :cheers:

Did it not occur to you that the statement might just be an observation linked to that state of much popular British pop music in the mid to late 1970s.
The music she made and the way it was presented, was to many of us something refreshingly different and experimental, so one can't help but in part experience the music within the context of the times we first heard it.

Though please do extrapolate some new construct of my new comments too.  :cool:

You choose to take an off the cuff comment about musical taste and extrapolate a strawman or two out of it, for whatever personal reason/mood you're currently in.  And then continue to labour the point, maybe I should just say go fuck yourself, Fadhiz, that is the languish way is it not, and possibly easier for you to understand ?   :D

Because whether or not I was old enough to "be there" has, I would think, very little to do with the reasons why I find Kate Bush singularly unappealing.

Since getting xm I've been listening mostly to Ozzy's Boneyard and Stern.  But Ozzy's Boneyard is weird.... sometimes there will be a nice stretch of stuff from Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest, etc. and then.............. Rush.  :huh:

I've decided that I like Hair Nation better than Ozzy's Boneyard.  At least the program director for Hair Nation knows his genre. :rolleyes:

Plus they played Danger Danger this morning. :lol:

I have my car radio programmed to alert me when certain bands come on. One of them is Rush. And that's the only time I travel to Ozzy's Boneyard. :D

Favourite XM station is Deep Tracks, probably. Classic Rewind and 80s on 8, possibly the next two. I doubt I'll renew subscription though.

Kultur Shock - Panic! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUEe1h8qoT0). Decent effort by the Seattle based Balkans punk band to make a 99% vs 1% video.

The footage of protests invites comparison with Sepultura's Refuse/Resist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ODNxy3YOPU), which is unfortunate, because the latter is the much better song.

She did Violet, Miss World, and Asking For It with the encore ending with Doll Parts. Before doing Doll Parts she said she was doing it but wasn't going to enjoy it as she now hates it...and then said sort of like blowjobs. So this was her being forced to give a blowjob. Then halfway through she opined that she was starting to like it...and at then end thanked us for making it enjoyable. :D

Well I haven't got it too bad Yet; it seems to run in families and my old dear probably has it similar to you Dad. 
Luckily as long as I always keep a noise going in the back, like the radio, I can generally 'ignore'.

Plus it helps that I never go to bed and allow myself to listen to it in the quiet, attempting to sleep only when I'm dog tired seems to work.

Money, one thing your old man should look into is a new product from an American company, that has impressive trial results and is now being rolled out to the public. Costs about $5-7,000 but is working for a good percentage of people:

Tom Odell - Long Way Down album

I had to give it a try after reading NME's review that gave it a rating of 0/10. It's filled with bland start-with-soft-piano-play-then-end-up-pounding-the-keys songs, but the 0 rating is a little undeserved even if 'Another Love' is a song that'll hurt your ears when the radio plays it for the 1000th time during the summer.

It's a great album and certainly a worthy follow up to The Cars.  The biggest problem is that their synthesizers weren't the best in the late 70s.  It's hard to listen to "Lust for Kicks" without thinking of the music that used to accompany games on the Nintendo NES.

Would you consider Boston a prog band or not?

Proto-grunge, maybe, since Nirvana famously modelled their Smells Like Teen Spirit riffs after Boston's More Than A Feeling? :P

Your crazy Kaiser helmet's strapped on too tight.  Boston is shitty 70's/80's beer rock, Rush for Yankees.

In honor of the Zimmerman trial I listened to "The Chronic."  Some of the lyrics are amusingly dated like:

Got a VCR in the back of my car
That I ganked from the Slauson swap meet

or

Not form Kriss Kross but they call me Mack Daddy

Still it's a great album, with fine lyrics.  I think Eliot Spitzer should end all his speeches with Snoop's line:

And now you hookers and hos know how I feel.

A scene from an otherwise forgettable movie-

In an arousingly Christian, staid family, a young boy violates the serenity of evening supper. Long-haired and chubby, the defiant, spoiled indolent represents all that is unpleasant in American society. Indeed, he has the virtues of his vices, with a certain enviable courage and enthusiasm in overturning all that is orderly and just.

But the scene does not truly become exalted until he is expelled from the dining room by his father. His father, whose hair is greying and whose forehead is creased with worry lines, (The forehead is an inherently shameful area, best hidden for females, but his weathered forehead expresses a certain confident virility I could never attain..) is wearing a proper white button-shirt and slacks, the very image of respectability. Banishing his son to his room, he begins a series of pronouncements that leave me a flutter.

Quote
You've disobeyed my orders, son,
Why were you ever born?.
Your brother's ten times better than you,
Jesus loves him more.
This music that you play for us comes from the depths of hell.
Rock and roll's The Devil's work, he wants you to rebel.
You'll become a mindless puppet;
Beelzebub will pull the strings!
Your heart will lose direction,
And chaos it will bring.
You'd better shut your mouth,
Better watch your tone!
You're grounded for a week with no telephone!
Don't let me here you cry,
Don't let me hear you moan!
You gotta praise The Lord when you're in my home!

This stalwart of order, smashing apart the false idols that threaten decency and morality, warning of instability and dispensing justice, has me staggering. It as if it was some sort of pornography- I can't get enough of his firm tone, and desire too to be the oppressive agent of a social order. I close my eyes and imagine him depriving females of employment opportunities, or turning miscreant minorities from the polls, and completely lose my composure.

Van Halen '1984' - Especially 'Jump' and the guitar solo in 'Drop Dead Legs'

Not really partial to "Jump", but "Panama" and especially "Hot For Teacher" were the last, fitful breaths of a truly monumental rock band, before they went got themselves all Yoko Ono'd.

Thought they had some good songs in the Hagar era. I was partial to that Right Now song.

Van Hagar is the best.
Dead Man's Bones (Ryan Gosling's music combo or whatever)--The Place Where You Sleep.  Pretty good.

QuotePrince Trolls the Web With Amazing Dave Chappelle Single Artwork

Prince seems to be really enjoying being part of the Twitterverse. Last night, he shared the artwork for his new single "Breakfast Can Wait," on his band 3rd Eye Girl's account. The artwork features comedian Dave Chappelle's impersonation of The Artist from the hilarious "True Hollywood Stories" Chappelle Show sketch.

Prince recently joined Twitter after a longstanding and highly public battle against the Internet. Watch a video featuring both the artwork and an audio clip.

Went to a 3-act concert last week, and been on a binge of Kamelot albums since then.  Currently listening to the album Epica.

The concert's acts were:

Eklipse - a string quartet from Germany who cover pop/rock songs.  Also appeared during the Kamelot song they originally featured on, My Confession (damned catchy song).  More into playing than working the mic, but they did surprisingly well by the audience with covers of Dead or Alive's "Spin Me Round" and The Eurhythmics' "Sweet Dreams."  Very young for an international tour, and it was kind of cute to see these girls, probably barely out of their teens, with shit-eating grins the whole time they were on stage.

Delain - a splinter group brought together by a former member of Within Temptation, they've got a sound similar to a more mature version of Nightwish.  I really didn't know this group going in, but the songs "Invidia," "We Are the Others," and especially "Get the Devil Out of Me" had me pretty well hooked.

Kamelot - doing pretty well for a band on their third vocalist (their last frontman had an epic meltdown and quit after dragging out his sabbatical for almost a year).  With their newest album, Silverthorn, the new singer (Tommy Karevik) is really coming into his own quickly.  "My Confession" is, as I said, really catchy, especially with the string hook by Eklipse.  "Sacrimony," the album's other single, is also a strong contender; the whole album harkens back to an older album, Epica.  "Veritas" was a welcome addition to the concert; choral backing vocals, more orchestration... only beef S and I had with the concert was that they went a little crazy on the crowd-rapping, but out of the last 4 times I've seen these guys in concert, it was the first time their bandleader looked happy, and I got into the crowd-rapping, even if S complained that I tend to deafen whoever's unlucky enough to be standing next to me. :blush:

They've been going for, oh, 20 years now.  In my long-ago club going days there was one song of theirs that would inevitably be played (despite it not being club music in the least) and draw a huge crowd to the dance floor.

One of the welders, I used to pick-up on the drive into work, absolutely loved Mke and the Mechanics, so it got a lot of play. He was the typical hard working Brit, decent bloke and family-first man.   :bowler:

I liked that one where he bangs that Polynesian girl.

I like the "Ito Eats" number in that one.  You know you have a problem when Elvis is making fun of you for over-eating.   :elvis:

This describes life at the moment quite well:

Quote
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on

Blue Oyster Cult - Veteran Of The Psychic Wars.  :cool:

Performer seems to trend toward a kind of lowest-rent Lady Gaga wannabe, but I like this song alright.

So I'm assuming you watched the video with her nips? :P

Yes.  It is pretty great.  She's super hot.

For a second, I could've sworn the guy playing her dad was Keith David.  Unfortunately, no. :(

ELO is one of my childhood things.  When we were on summer vacation my mom would put a couple of ELO albums on the record player and we would have that as background music.  Good times for a 10 year old.

Sly and the Family Stone - Fresh (Album)

This is considerably more upbeat and less burned out than "There's a Riot Going on."  I'm certain Sly was every bit as drugged up as he was on his last album (his version of Que Serat Serat being evidence of that), but there's a couple of upbeat little numbers in this as well.  The track "If it were left up to me" shows what the band was still capable of at that point, with such outstanding quick little throw-aways.

So sick of your generation thinking the shit I had to suffer through in my youth as "rad". 

YOU DIDNT HAVE TO LISTEN TO STYX'S "MR ROBOTO" 3 TIMES EVERY HOUR IN 7TH GRADE BECAUSE TERRESTRIAL TOP 40 RADIO WAS ALL THERE WAS

Mr Roboto is awesome. :mad:

Way late, but absolutely true.  That whole album kicked ass (aside from the two obligatory whiny ballads); I actually wore our copy of Kilroy Was Here out from playing it at least three times a week.

Robert Calvert - 'Hype' album - 'Over My Head'

I like the lyrics:

Quote
She was talking about the world situation
She was sitting on a coffee-bar stool
I heard her say something clever 'bout inflation
And the Ayatollah's rule

It was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

Her eyes were plastered with a lot of mascara
And her hair was cut by Vidal
I was wondering how I was going to score her
A real live intellectual

And then she started talking bout a new production
Of Dostoyevsky in drag
The way her mouth moved was pure seduction
When she said she'd written it up in a mag

It was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of thinking
Getting plugged into silicon chips
All I could think about was lateral linking
And I just watched her Mary Quant lips

Talking over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

She asked me was I ever into Fellini
And what did I think of Godard
I tried to imagine her in a bikini
And didn't find it was hard

She said have you seen that Fritz Lang movie
Where the hero loses his soul?
I said I didn't think that sounded too groovy
I'm more into rock and roll

She was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,
Over my head,
Over my head,

Drake - Hold On, We're Going Home

I kept hearing this listening to the hip-hop stations driving around Little Rock a couple weeks ago, and I noticed a lot of the less popular song had a similar spacey sound... I like it.

There's a college radio station here that I listen to.  On Saturday morning they have a surf show (to get you stoked.)  The DJ has an expansive idea of what constitutes surf music, today he played "Venus" by Frankie Avalon (as presented here by an impossibly young Dick Clark and lip synced by an even younger Frankie Avalon):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fakpqLDEQAo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fakpqLDEQAo)

Frankie was the king of the teenage surf movies; but still I don't think I've ever heard "Venus" described as surf music before.

http://cassavafilms.com/list-of-9/nine-british-bands-that-had-to-change-their-names-for-the-us-audience

QuoteWham! (Wham! UK). George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley formed Wham! in 1981; by the time they became international superstars in 1984, they had to add the "UK" for American sales because there was already a Nashville-based funk/disco band called Wham! who recorded one album, in 1978, for the GRT label. ("WHAM! UK" stickers were hurriedly slapped onto the British duo's debut, concealing the band's UK-less name.) The American Wham!, who had most likely broken up by 1984, sold the US rights to the name to Messrs Michael et al for a reported £50,000.

Little Richard, Little Richard (Album)

Little Richard's stage persona was much wilder than anything that had been seen by 1958 (and much more so than by an African American man1).  In order to placate some concerned parents studio executives had him sing some old standards on his second album.  It didn't exactly turn out like "Stardust," instead "Baby Face" and "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" become raucous Little Richard numbers.  It's not as good as his first album, "Here's Little Richard," but it's still great.

1.)  Yes, Lead Belly was considerably wilder, but that was off stage.

I am a huge Little Richard fan. :wub:  You have to read the "authorized" biography from the 1980s, there is truly some great stuff.  Like when he threw his $6000 pinky ring off the ferry while on the Australian tour to demonstrate his newfound commitment to Christ.  And then got kicked out of bible college for...extracurricular activities with other male students.

There are also some wonderful videos of LR out there on YouTube.

Went to White Castle for lunch today... they used to play strictly oldies on their muzak.  About a year ago, they switched to 80s pop.  It seems that recently they've switched again to.... I'm not sure what they're going for now unless their goal is to offend as many people as possible.  Today I heard:

"Heaven's A Lie", Lacuna Coil
"Killing In The Name Of", RATM (and no, not the radio edit)
a bunch of gangsta rap I didn't recognize

I don't know why, but I heard this all the time circa 2005-06, but it seems to be obscure now.  I couldn't even find it online the last time I looked a few years ago searching with the basic chorus lyrics.  I only ever had the hook in my head.  But I got it back and it's still great.

Sly and the Family Stone -- "Family Affair," "Luv n' Haight," "(You Caught Me) Smilin'"

This is from the album "There's A Riot Goin' On," recorded in 1971, as Sly was just starting to slip into the cocaine-n'-PCP hole that he never really left, holed up in an LA mansion with a bunch of guns and vicious dogs. 

It's a real change from the classic Family Stone era, with everything dubbed separately, Sly playing almost everything and singing much more in a weird rasp.  Looking it up online, music critics seem to think of this as a "death of the 60s" masterpiece.  "Family Affair" was a No. 1 hit, but does sound much darker than I had remembered it in my head.

Apparently the Black Panthers had been leaning on Sly to take a more radical stance, ditch the white members of the band and write more militant songs.  And he was getting bent out-of-shape by his far-out-wacky-guy-peace-and-love persona.

It looked like Sly Stone was going to come back out of obscurity for a while around 2007, but as of 2011 he is apparently living in a van in Crenshaw, either homeless or too paranoid to live in a house.  :(

The Crickets -- I Fought The Law.  This the original version by Sonny Curtis from 1959... main difference of note is that it's "robbin' people with a zip gun" rather than "six gun" in the Bobby Fuller Four's 1966 version.  It was probably changed because zip guns were a juvenile delinquent (the original JD) problem, and a little too edgy.

Exhortations to join in clapping about happiness have rarely put me in a good mood.  Even if the pseudo-Motown musical styling aren't  that objectionable.

Much like Barry Lyndon, it got me to listen to one (1) classical piece.  (Handel's Sarabande there; somewhat randomly, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata here).  In addition to listening to Salieri's fart music from Amadeus, I'm now all cultured and shit.

Alanis Morissette - You Owe Me Nothing In Return

Perhaps it is just my bias (and my perception of Alanis) but I never took this song to be positive. In fact, I wouldn't even be open to such an interpretation except that an acquaintance posted on facebook about how they love this relationship model and are happy that it supports a poly-amorous point of view.  A quick check on google revealed at many people are taking this to represent an ideal form of love where you aren't asking for anything back. :mellow:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeGFu05xB-8

QuoteI'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it
You can speak of anger and doubts your fears and freak outs and I'll hold it
You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it
(and there are no strings attached to it)

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it
You can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it
You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it
You can ask for anything you want anything at all and I'll understand it
(and there are no strings attached to it)

I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet you wonder how far you have now danced you way back into debt
This is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is

You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it
You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss I'll empathize with
You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion and I'll hear it
You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it
(and there are no strings attached)

Abba's Eurovision win in Brighton remembered 40 years on
By Libby Sutcliffe
BBC News, Sussex

It is 40 years since Abba won the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton - a victory that started their meteoric rise to super group status with millions of fans around the globe.

When the four-piece stepped on to the stage accompanied by a man dressed as Napoleon to deliver their country's entry for the competition, they were virtually unknown.

The audience at the 1,700-seat Brighton Dome on 6 April, 1974, had no idea how huge the Swedish group, which performed Waterloo, would become. Most of them were concentrating on the UK entry - Olivia Newton John with her song Long Live Love.

John Henty, who lives in Lewes, East Sussex, was one of those watching and describes the instant impact the band had on the crowd.

He said: "Nobody knew Abba. Who were Abba? They were an unknown quantity.

"But clearly the moment they went into the number and the style of it and the outrageous costumes and the guy wearing Napoleon gear and you suddenly thought, 'this is something'."

Whoa, Future Islands.  My girlfriend back in 2006 was friends with a couple of them from high school in North Carolina.  They had just started out down there, and I was able to get them booked as the opening act for a show outside Philadelphia, basically playing for beer, dinner, and maybe gas money.  They put on a good show and we all got sloppy drunk afterwards.  Some more hijinks ensued at various dive bars that are probably better left unsaid. :D

I hadn't thought about them in ages.  It's so weird, in a good way, that they're on Letterman and have Danish fans now. :)

I'm listening to Pet Shop Boys' "King's Cross."  It has a beautiful Derek Jarman-directed video that was made to be projected on-stage.  And I think the lyrics and presentation make the song one of the most effective mixtures of political critique and personal narrative from that mid-late 80s UK period where you had quite a few (Bronski Beat, Smiths, etc.)

Bruce's first album ("Greeting from Ashbury Park") is pretty rough around the edges, but "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City" and "Growin' Up" are both great.  David Bowie covered both of them in his "Bisexual astronaut with orange hair from outer space" phase.  Manfred Mann covered both "Blinded by the Light" and "Spirit in the Night," both of those are worthwhile.

The Mikado (D'Oyly Carte Opera Company)

I read that Arthur Sullivan had a close friend die; and so faced with his own mortality wanted to make more serious work.  As depicted in Topsy-Turvey this led to a rift in the Gilbert and Sullivan partnership and Sullivan refused to work on the operetta Gilbert was first proposing; but agreed to work on "The Mikado."

What's surprising in all of this is how many of the jokes in "The Mikado" deal with death.  Perhaps that was Gilbert's revenge for Sullivan's intransigence.

So I just looked this up on wiki. Apparently it is with regards to NYC though the lyricist thought Times Square was Downtown. Definitely a fairy tale if about Times Square. :D

QuoteIn the autumn of 1964 Hatch had made his first visit to New York City, the purpose being to seek material from music publishers for the artists he was producing. Hatch would recall: "I was staying at a hotel on Central Park and I wandered down to Broadway and to Times Square and, naively, I thought I was downtown. Forgetting that in New York especially, downtown is a lot further downtown getting on towards Battery Park. I loved the whole atmosphere there and the [music] came to me very, very quickly". According to Hatch he was standing on the corner of 48th St waiting for the traffic lights to change, looking towards Times Square when "the melody first came to me, just as the neon signs went on."

Musically there's a huge Rush influence as well that I hear.....find they get heavier which each successive album. But yeah, they're pretty good. Thanks for sharing.

Well I was obligated.  :P

Anyway the stuff that guy can do musically is astounding. He told me about when he was teaching music theory to Kurt (who started his music career in Metal Church). Simple dumb stuff I know that people who got famous doing this didn't know at the time. Kerry is the dude who teaches music theory to everyone he works with. I missed that class in high school, so I liked it a lot.

Lil' Kim - Not Tonight

Well that is confusing. I bought the Lil' Kim EP of Not Tonight for a buck.

Now I've always thought of "Not Tonight" as the song that goes on about "I don't want dick tonight, eat my pussy right" which it is but apparently she also named the remix of Ladies night that has Missy Elliot et al. as "Not Tonight". It might make sense that she called it the remix of "Not Tonight" if the songs feature anything in common.

I'll mark it just as confusing as Ciara's song where she features Ciara. :hmm:

Concur.  Momentary Lapse is almost certainly the worst album since Ummagumma, and maybe since Barrett flipped out, although with a couple of legitimately great songs.

Division Bell is of course Pink Floyd's best album.  How do you like them apples, Roger Waters?  (My opinion is very important to him.)

M83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.  Greatish album.  Really nice and listenable, though only one extraordinary track that leaps out at you, "Midnight City."  However, as Anthony Gonzalez is wont to return to motifs (check out the Oblivion score sometime), most of the songs on the album are like it--and, sure, it's a little repetitive, probably purposely, but there we are.

A

Probably gonna listen to some Lady Gaga afterward, because I haven't in a while and I heard "Bad Romance" on the radio earlier, which was and remains pretty awesome, though I'm still partial to "Edge of Glory" as a favorite.  Probably because of the DS stuff in the video, but the song is a great 80s pastiche. -_-

I just did a quick search for eurodance artists, and the list includes: "2 Unlimited, Ace of Base, Alexia, Bad Boys Blue, Blue System, Cappella, Captain Hollywood Project, Centory, Colonia, Corona, Culture Beat, Dee Monk, Double You, DJ Bobo, Dr. Alban, E-rotic. E-Type, Electro Team, First Base, Fun Factory, Haddaway, Ice MC, Imperio, Indra, J.K., La Bouche, Lobby, Le Click, Lynda Thomas, Magic Affair, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Masterboy, Maxx, Mr. President, N-Trance, Nicki French, No Mercy, Paradisio, Playahitty, Real McCoy, Scatman John, Snap!, Technotronic, and Whigfield."

It was a gruelling time. There was no escaping that kind of music, be it going out with friends at night, or watching (ye olde) MTV.

We tried to go to our local club on Thursdays because that was when they would play Pearl Jam, Metallica, Guns'n'Roses, Nirvana, Ministry, Therapy?, and all the others.

I feel vindicated that "our" kind of music is still listened to today and considered "classic rock", while most dance pop of the time has been buried (until the inevitable revival in the 2020s :P ).

I'm not sure we've any radio stations or programmes that would do that.

When I was growing up there was a radio programme called the Friday Night Rock Show that ran from 10pm to Midnight on FM, it was required listening if you liked that sort of music, heard lots of new bands on it, and back in the day it was cassette recordings off the show that served, until you found the album in a record store.

The intro/exit/theme music was a jazzy track by the Dixie Dreggs and the midway song, the DJ chatted over to introduce the next hour was 'Theme One' performed by Van der Graff Generator. (it may even have been a special version recorded for the show)  :cool:

Damn, now I'm gonna have to listen to Moving Pictures.


edit:
You know what's rather annoying about this is, I found the album on an external drive, but I ripped the cd a good while ago, so the lame version used is old and a bit too compressed, I think V2 VBR, so now I'm gonna have to find the cd, re-rip it, save the flacs (which wasn't an option a few years back when sortage wasn't dirt cheap) and then re do the MP3 so V0 VBR.   :cool:

But of course I'm now also likely to also redo most of the rest of my 2-3 dozen rush albums, thanks Josephus  <_<

And no doubt I'll probably buy some more remastered versions, if you or anyone else can explain which ones have genuinely benefited from that.

I haven't really picked up Rush remasters, other than Vapour Trails, which is re-mixed rather than remastered, and sounds better for it. I do plan on starting to rebuild my Rush catalouge at some point. Will likely begin with Farewell to Kings and work my way up to Power Windows.

Robert - Hype - 'Over My Head'.

Quote
She was talking about the world situation
She was sitting on a coffee-bar stool
I heard her say something clever 'bout inflation
And the Ayatollah's rule

It was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

Her eyes were plastered with a lot of mascara
And her hair was cut by Vidal
I was wondering how I was going to score her
A real live intellectual

And then she started talking bout a new production
Of Dostoyevsky in drag
The way her mouth moved was pure seduction
When she said she'd written it up in a mag

It was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

Everybody's talking 'bout a new way of thinking
Getting plugged into silicon chips
All I could think about was lateral linking
And I just watched her Mary Quant lips

Talking over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,

She asked me was I ever into Fellini
And what did I think of Godard
I tried to imagine her in a bikini
And didn't find it was hard

She said have you seen that Fritz Lang movie
Where the hero loses his soul?
I said I didn't think that sounded too groovy
I'm more into rock and roll

She was over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
Over my head,
Over my head,
Over my head,

It's tricky because there are more than a few different periods each with their own character.  Above all they were a live experience, so gigs inform the albums as you listen to them. 

Saving that there's an excellent 3 cd compilation called Epoch Eclipse that covers all periods, though probably not the last 10-15 years. Which is a blessing as I'm not aware they've done anything interesting since the mid 90s, even earlier.

http://www.amazon.ca/Epoch-Eclipse-30-Year-Anthology-Hawkwind/dp/B00008OP0V/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1413852136&sr=8-9&keywords=hawkwind (http://www.amazon.ca/Epoch-Eclipse-30-Year-Anthology-Hawkwind/dp/B00008OP0V/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1413852136&sr=8-9&keywords=hawkwind)

One off albums worth thinking about are Space Ritual for the authentic 1973 when they were at the height of their drug fuelled powers.

'Hall of the Mountain Grill' is a good cheap one to get that came out just after Space Ritual and is rated by the fans.

If you want something different get one of the Robert Calvert heavily influenced albums like '25 years On' (by the Hawklord(still them)) or 'Quark. Strangeness and Charm' these are both almost intelligent Pop-Rock.

So the quest to redo my CD/mp3 collection, in part prompted by Josephus, is producing strange fruit. Besides hearing music I've not listened to in ages, I've found a lot of CD recordings of my old vinyl collections, and you know what I like the 'sound' of them.

I'm now thinking of finding the turntable and getting some speakers so I can listen to them in the old fashion way. :old.codger:

Interesting.

I do know that hipsters have latched onto vinyl in a big way, such that if you could be bothered, you could hover up old vinyl in a collectors shops here and sell it in the East End of London (hipster.epicentre) for three times what you paid. I've heard of traders doing this.

Personally I'd keep my vinyl for sentimental reasons, plus there's often a story attached to each one.

None of the songs in the article are on the level of "My Girl" or "Baby Baby," but there are a lot of good songs in there.  The Marvin Gaye songs are all great as is Tami Terrell's version of "All I Do Is Think About You."  I'm more surprised that Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote "Leaving Here" than that Eddie Holland sang it.

I've been in a Motown mood since yesterday's article.

Berry Gordy first called his record company Tamla after the song Tammy by Debbie Reynolds:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew3mtNZFrMY

It's hard to imagine anything further from the Motown sound than that; but Motown singer Tammi Terrell also named herself after the song.

The first single on Tamla was Come To Me by Marv Johnson:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzLu_-S79wQ

The song is straight up Doo-Wop, but two of the Funk Brothers, James Jamerson and Benny Benjamin, were already in the band.   :cool:

The Swinging Tigers - "Snake Walk":

Before they were called "The Funk Brothers," Motown's house band went by this silly name.  This instrumental from 1959 definitely isn't "The Motown Sound," but it also isn't like the doo-wop Motown was recording at the time; instead it's a wild jazz ride.  It shows what Berry Gordy's band was capable of, even at the beginning:

Heh, my wife has lived in Metro Detroit all her life and never gone to the Motown Museum.

If you're interested, I recommend, from the Detroit Years:

Smokey Robinson - "Going to a Go Go"
Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On"

From the LA Years:

Stevie Wonder  :cool: - "Innervisions"

The first two are great examples of both the early and the late Motown sound respectively.  I don't much care for the LA years, but Stevie :cool: had a number of masterpieces.

Singles collections from Motown can be hit or miss; a lot of them are poorly produced.  They almost always focus on the really big hits and ignore the lesser known stuff.  (Except for the 12 volume boxed sets; but those are out of print.   :()

Not every Motown single was good.  Here's an awful novelty number by Ron & Bill:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QlIBdVEN9g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QlIBdVEN9g)

It was supposed to glom on to the success of the then current "Purple People Eater," but it's just so bad that it couldn't.  I don't think that even the Beastie Boys came up with lyrics that stupid on "Licensed to Ill."  What's really funny is that "Ron" is Ronnie White of The Miracles, and "Bill" is none other than William "Smokey" Robinson.   (This was their first single on Motown, and only single as Ron and Bill, fortunately they got better.)

It's only sort of a new Pink Floyd record. It's mostly instrumental based on a series of jams from the 93 sessions, mostly released as a tribute to Rick Wright.

This is Motown's seventh single, and the first one that was a nationwide hit.  Berry Gordy tells the story that he had a wife and some girlfriends in the early days of Motown when the company was struggling.  One of them had said she loved him and he came up with the line "Your love gives me such a thrill, but your love won't pay my bills."

Motown followed up "Money" with a surf rock instrumental Nick and the Jaguar's "Ichi Ban #1".

Always good to listen to new things.

Listening to a not especially good Hawkwind album from the early 80s, called 'Zones', but there's one stand out track that's a bit different to the rest of the album.

On investigation turns out its sung and written by a guy called Keith Hale, who wrote and produced much of Toyah Wilcox's music. So an interesting influence on the psychedelic/spacey Hawks.  :cool:

Don't think I ever saw this guy in concert as he wasn't with them long.

The first single on the Motown label (earlier "Motown" singles were on the Tamla label) was The Miracle's Bad Girl:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McRXMdG_964 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McRXMdG_964)

Smokey wrote and sang this when was 19.  It should be an ordinary doo-wop song pining of love gone wrong, but with Smokey's soaring vocals and the Miracles' flawless backing it's amazing.

John Carpenter--"Vortex."

This is, in fact, new stuff, not from one of his movies--though it sounds like it should have been, and he's got a whole album of it coming out in February or March! :o

Probably also a signifier that Carpenter isn't ever going to make another film, and knows he isn't ever going make another film, so he reckoned it best to polish up and release the score ideas he'd had laying around, since they'd never otherwise be used, before he passes.  The logical leap makes me a little sad. :(

From a similar era, I think 1970  -

Gentle Giant -'Nothing At All' -

QuoteNow she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by with a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by with a sigh

She sees lovers pass by
With much more than a kiss
Ahh this, here's a girl who had everything
Find she's nothing at all

Now the wind seems so cold seems so old
As it laughs at her fears and her tears
And as ducks swim away from her visions
Of past love, appear in her tears

She sees love in his face
As she tells him to go
And so, here's a girl who had everything
Find she's nothing at all

What would she say, yeah if she saw him? Yeah
Now that she's gone man, you're losing, yeah
Now you can see what she's seeing, yeah
For sure she'd be more than choosing, yeah

You're losing man, yeah, come on, babe
Yeah losing, yeah you, you're losing, man
Alright yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, play

Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by with a sigh
And the things she put faith in
Are ripples just waving her by with a sigh

She sees lovers pass by
With much more than a kiss
Ahh this, here's a girl who had everything
Find she's nothing at all

Right now, I'm going through this thread and listening to random songs you folks listed that I've never heard before.

First up-
Anastacia- Paid My Dues. Poppy, too repetitive at end.
Bob Dylan- Ballad of a Thin Man. Dylan's distinctive vocal stylings are in full effect; it almost sounds like a self-caricature.
David Bowie- Up the Hill Backwards. Not sure if I like it, but many of Bowie's other songs have grown with me over time.
Dry Kill Logic- Kingdom of the Blind. Sounds like a lot of mid-noughties alternative rock. Might like the song if I heard it a bunch, but no super hooks that jump out on first listen.

Gonna stop trying to decide whether I like the songs or not, unless it jumps right out at me. Most songs don't sound very distinctive on first listen.  :hmm:

Liquido- Narcotic. Light indie rocker with a prominent keyboard.
Alice in Chains- Take Her Out. It's Alice in Chains.
Jethro Tull- Cross Eyed Mary. Mostly guitar, a little bit of flute for good measure.

In the early days of Motown Berry Gordy could not resist ripping off a novelty record.  So when  Larry Verne had a hit with "Mr. Custer," Gordy made his own "Parody" of it sung by one of the Funk Brother, Richard "Popcorn" Riley:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wALLagZaA0A (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wALLagZaA0A)

The parody elements are spectacularly unfunny; and it's so similar to "Mr. Custer" that Berry is lucky he didn't get sued.

I found it on my hard drive, bought it from emusic a few years back, don't think I ever gave it a spin.

It seems good in parts, 'Speak to me/Breathe' is neat, has Malcolm McDowell doing the mad bloke voice.  :cool:

I'm listening to the rest of it now.

Has a lot of other musicians on in, including Gentle Giants' Gary Green, also Bill Bruford, Tony Kaye and Geoff Downes.

I'll report back.


edit:

The Rick Wakeman led version of the 'Great Gig In the Sky' is very different and rather good.
'Time' is a disappointment given who's on it.
'Money' is OK, a bit pedestrian, which is odd given it's got Bruford, Levin and Gary Green on it.

Mary Wells was Motown's second female recording artist and unlike  the first, Mable John, would go on to become a star with Motown.  She wrote her first single, Bye, Bye Baby:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2necn5WMipw

She had shown it to Berry Gordy in hopes that he would show it to Jackie Wilson (Gordy had co-written a number of Wilson's early hits, including "Lonely Teardrops" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nEfuE8Pw4U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nEfuE8Pw4U))).  Gordy had her sing it instead, she was only 17 when she recorded it; but sounds  much older.  This turned out to be a top 10 hit on the R&B charts, and unlike Barrett Strong, she would return to the charts, making her Motown's first star.

QuoteThrough early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
[REFRAIN]:
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever-present hate
But now I know that it's too late, and...
[REFRAIN]
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say.
[REFRAIN]
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give my seat
For that's the only painless feat.
[REFRAIN]
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
[REFRAIN]
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied 'oh why ask me?'
[REFRAIN]
'Cause suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.

So some Internet people had accused the music video of being soft core paedophilic porn, obviously it wouldn't be so I checked it out. And, it really isn't, it's Shia Labeouf getting his ass artistically kicked by a little girl.

People really need to consider why they would think of sex when the only 2 people involved are a 12 year old girl and Shia Labeouf.

Kraftwerk - Autobahn (2015 Live)

It's from a 3D concert, and even if the 3D doesn't show on streaming I can tell it's not very interesting. It's a movie clip of a very poorly animated autobahn.

Also, their very tight space suits aren't exactly flattering on their regular 50-60 year old bodies. :P

The new Blind Guardian studio album still doesn't grow on me. Their last one (At The Edge of Time) was an absolute eargasm (their best since Nightfall in Middle Earth, maybe even better) with many amazing songs, but the new one is pretty "meh." Then again, if you've been around for almost 30 years then things are bound to become a bit stale.

Kanye West - All Day

10 n-words in the first 10 seconds, and then one every 4 word. Brilliant lyricist to find so many words to rhyme it with.. there's sicker, thicker, etc.

Also, McCartney is featured but I don't really hear him anywhere. I really don't get rap. :(

Been listening to a bunch of covers of The House of the Rising Sun after I heard an awesome cover at a bar in Itaewan.

I think it might be the Jody Miller cover, her voice and the way she sings it is just so powerfully sad. Way better than the Dolly Parton depsite the later's lyrics being much more explictly about prostituion, compared to the Miller lyrics which are basically the same as the one's sung by the Animals.

the children of the stars
in the hollywood hills and the boulevard
her parents threw big parties
everyone was there
they hung out with folks like
dennis hopper, bob seeger, sonny and cher
now, she feels safe
in this bar on fairfax
and from the stage I can tell that
she can't let go and she can't relax
and just before
she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby, I sing
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
rockabye
she still lives with her mom
outside the city
down that street about a half a mile
and all her friends tell her
she's so pretty
but she'd be a whole lot prettier
if she smiled once in a while
`cause even her smile
looks like a frown
she's seen her share of devils
in this angel town
But, everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
rockabye
I told her I ain't so sure
about this place
it's hard to play a gig in this town
and keep a straight face
seems like everyone here's got a plan
it's kind of like nashville with a tan, but,
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye,rockabye, bye, bye
bye, bye

Appalling, it sounds like a five year old child wrote this.  What was Mozart thinking? :mad:

In listening to the six works that make up the K1 it's remarkable that Mozart that you can see an increased sophistication in his composing as his fifth year went along.

Sabu, Palo Congo (album, 1957)

A wild, rhythmic ride with conga drum master Sabu Martinez.  Sabu's resume reads like a whose who of 1950s jazz, but this album is different.  It's almost entirely percussion mixed in with some chanting in Spanish.  It's a must hear for fans of Buena Vista Social Club or the Afro-Cuban All Stars.

You should listen to my faves Southern Cross (Crosby Stills Nash and Young cover), It's Five O'Clock Somewhere, Fins, and Margaritaville, the latter his biggest hit by far.

It doesn't really sound like Afro-Cuban music from the 1950s.  It sounds more like the 1950s Hollywood recreation of Afro-Cuban; much less percussion and much more horns.  Still worth listening to.

Yes, I believe so.  Also I've read that the song is a rip-off of a genuine Calypso song.

Here we go, it's originally by Lord Invader:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMWUF3LYd88

The words to "Badlands" by Springsteen rocked my world tonight and I wanted to share:

Lights out tonight,
Trouble in the heartland,
Got a head on collision,
Smashin' in my guts, man,
I'm caught in a cross fire,
That I don't understand,
But there's one thing I know for sure, girl,
I don't give a damn
For the same old played out scenes,
Baby, I don't give a damn
For just the in-betweens,
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul,
I want control right now,
You better listen to me, baby

Talk about a dream,
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night,
With a fear so real,
You spend your life waiting,
For a moment that just don't come,
Well, don't waste your time waiting,

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay,
We'll keep pushin' 'til it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good.

Workin' in the fields
'til you get your back burned,
Workin' 'neath the wheels
'til you get your facts learned,
Baby, I got my facts
Learned real good right now,
You better get it straight, darlin'
Poor man wanna be rich,
Rich man wanna be king,
And a king ain't satisfied,
'til he rules everything,
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got

Well, I believe in the love that you gave me,
I believe in the faith that can save me,
I believe in the hope and I pray,
That someday it may raise me
Above these badlands

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay,
We'll keep pushin' 'til it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good.

For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside,
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these...

Badlands, you gotta live it everyday,
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you've gotta pay,
We'll keep movin' 'til it's understood,
And these badlands start treating us good.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa badlands!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa badlands!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa badlands!
Whoa whoa whoa

Man I've been listening a lot to Ghost the past days (late adopter as I am I discovered them this week, new record out). I think they make a great rock show package, and their music is very accessible (which is important to me cause I'm lazy as all fuck).

Something made me think of Lawrence Welk, who my grandparents loved and I never really understood as a kid. I decided to look up some youtube videos of the guy.

Most music, though I might not love it, I can at least appreciate somewhat. Especially if it is older. But fuck, I can't see any redeeming value in that show. It is awful.

Wishbone Ash - 'Argus' - 'Blowin Free'

Quote
I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her
Her hair was golden brown
Blowin' free like a cornfield

She was far away
I found it hard to reach her
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her

In my dreams everything was all right
In your schemes you can only try

I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her
Her hair was golden brown, yeah yeah
Blowin' free like a cornfield

I generally use Pandora instead of Spotify. Most of my stations are based on a broad idea like Arena Rock or 90s alternative, but a few are based on sound. These stations tend to introduce me to some really obscure acts. The one that takes the cake has to be Ray's Vast Basement- they have tracks on their youtube channel with single digit views.  :wacko:

Barrett Strong - Whirlwind (1960)

Barrett Strong's second failed attempt to have a follow up hit to "Money," (he'd have two more.)  He does his best Ray Charles on this one; but it just doesn't really work out.  It's Strong's first songwriting credit; he'd go on to write hits like "Heard it through the Grapevine," "War," and "Poppa was a Rolling Stone" with Norman Whitfield.

The B-Side "I'm Gonna Cry (If You Quit Me)" (written by Smokey and Barry) is pretty funny.  He sings about how tough he is (I used to beat up the cops, just for fun) but how he's going to dissolve into tears if his girl leaves him.  Best lines:

I can run through the jungle
Kill a lion with a switch
Everybody knows I'm a bad as... I can be

Singin' Sammy Ward - What Makes You Love Him? (1960)

Prior to starting Motown Records, Barry Gordy had owned a music shop.  At the time blues one of the most popular music forms for African-Americans.  Gordy refused to sell blues albums and only stocked his store with jazz; so he went out of business and ended up working on the assembly line for a while.

Knowing that it's a little surprising that Gordy not only got a genuine blues man for his label with Singin' Sammy, but wrote his singles.  This first one is a little too slick and polished, sort of like Muddy Waters doing a Ray Charles :cool: impression.  The B Side (written by Gordy and Robinson) is a raucous blues piano number called "That Child is Really Wild."  That was so good that Gordy had a change of heart, pulled the record and rereleased it with the bluesier "Who's the Fool?" (again written by Barry and Smokey.)  That made it onto the R&B charts and became Motown's fourth charting single.

The Miracles - Shop Around (1960)

The hit version of the song is actually the third single version of "Shop Around" (all were released within a few weeks of each other.)  The earlier versions are slower, bluesier and feature more sax and tambourine.  The hit version is much better, and went on to become Motown's first million selling record.

The B-Side is "Who's Loving You?"  Smokey says that when he sings this in concert people will say to him "I didn't know you covered Michael Jackson songs."  The Jackson 5 version is deservedly the hit; the Miracles version is a pedestrian doo-wop number.  In Michael's hands the song is a masterpiece.

More of a catalog of The Beatles influences rather than a proper album; still from Paul's opening "1-2-3-4" on "She Was Just Seventeen" you know it's going to be a great ride.  It was recorded in just a day, which is how John managed to shout himself hoarse on "Twist and Shout."

Herman Griffin - True Love (1960)

TOCK ABOUT LOVE!  Not a bad little rockabilly number, but unsuited for Griffin; he's a lot more dynamic than the song.  His voice is also way to powerful for what they had at Motown back in those days; and he keeps overdriving the microphone.

Griffin is much better known for being Mary Wells first husband (and a key factor in her decision to leave Motown) than he is as a performer.  He was supposed to be an electric performer, like Jackie Wilson, but he never had the songs.

The Beatles - Meet the Beatles

:w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

The Americanized version of "With the Beatles"; all the covers (except "Until there was You") were excised and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was added.  I think this is the better album; The Beatles covers of Motown ("Money," "Wait a Minute Mr. Postman" and "You Really Got a Hold on Me") aren't bad, but they're nowhere near as good as the originals.  The same can be said for George's cover of "Roll Over Beethoven."  Without those the album rocks harder and is more consistent.  I prefer "Please Please Me," but this is still a worthy follow up.

Sherri Taylor & Singin' Sammy Ward - "Oh Lover" (1960)

Motown's first duet; it isn't exactly Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.  Instead it's a jumping blues numbers where Singin' Sammy and Sherri trade lines.  It's a blistering number, and a lot of fun.

This single failed to chart and Sherri Taylor never had much success after that.  Before Motown, though, she had a single with another local Detroit label also on West Grand Boulevard Called Gloreco.  (That record company fell apart because Motown poached all its singers.)  Her single was "He's the One that Rings My Bell":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRn3nZIB6Vc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRn3nZIB6Vc)

It's too bad that wasn't with a better label.  It's a product of its time, but it's still a pretty cool song.  :cool:

This is the first Beatles albums with all original material and the only one with only Lennon-McCartney songs.  (In fact it's almost entirely a Lennon album, with Paul writing only the three ballads.)  I think this is the album where their own sound starts to gel; each song is no longer a rock song or an R&B song or a folk ballad, instead they're all Beatles songs.

The artist radio on Spotify is extremely hit and miss. It used to be better, but it seems much narrower when you select and artist and seems to repeat itself more often than it used to months ago.

Nevertheless it scored 5 nostalgic hits in a row for me on my commute home, taking me back to the 90s when I was a teenager:

Based off Body Count:

Body Count - KKK Bitch
Faith No More - Epic
Pantera - Walk
Rage Against the Machine - Bombtrack
Danzig - Mother (yes, it was originally an 80s song, but I listened to it A LOT).

Henry Lumpkin - I've Got a Notion (1961)

Motown is still stuck in the 1950s here with this doo-wop number (much more so on the B-Side "We Really Love Each Other", which sounds like it comes straight out of the jukebox at the malt shop.)  It's still a fun little number and Henry Lumkpin (what a name) has a good voice for this sort of song.

In the early 1990s a number of orchestras from behind the former Iron Curtain lost their state subsidies and cranked out a number of mediocre albums to try to make ends meet.  I was listening to the highlights from "Carmen" from one of those.  Inexplicably a number of the songs are instrumentals from the suite including The March of the Gamins (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbhTArrsMig), Danse Boheme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MR9mTAlf5I) and (most inexplicably) Habanera (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ_HHRJf0xg).  :huh:

It occurred to me that "Carmen" has an awful lot of peppy numbers for an opera about betrayal and murder.

The Beatles - Beatles for Sale

Everything has to end, and on this album Beatlemania (:w00t::w00t::w00t:) was clearly over.  This was their fourth album in 21 months at a time when they were still playing concerts, playing the BEEB and even made a movie.  It's no surprise that they sound burnt out (and the album features 6 covers.)  There are some high points on here, "No Reply" is John's most sophisticated writing to date, "Rock and Roll Music" is probably the only time The Beatles managed to do Chuck Berry better than Chuck Berry and "Eight Days a Week," shows the start of the studio wizardry they became known for.

Going back through their older albums, I'm surprised to find how dominant John Lennon was on these.  I usually listen to the albums "Revolver" and afterwards where Paul is clearly the leader of the band.

Jimmy Ruffin - Don't Feel Sorry For Me (1961)

Jimmy Ruffin's debut, and the debut of the short lived "Miracle" record line.  (Strangely The Miracles did not record on Miracle, they were on Tamla for everything except "Bad Girl" which was on Motown.)  This is an exciting horn driven number written by Ruffin himself.  He's trying hard to sound like Jackie Wilson here; but he still sounds great.  The back side "Heart" (also written by Ruffin) is awful, but the A side is pretty good.  Not quite the Motown sound, but it's getting there.

Jimmy's little brother, David, was then on Anna records, which was owned by Berry Gordy's older sister Gwen.

Cole Porter - Anything Goes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd1w5tn040g)

One of Porter's greatest songs; the lyrics are clever, but unfortunately they're stuck in 1930s America.  The vast majority of the references are lost on modern audiences (though easy to look up in the age of Wikipedia.)

Hey Mono can you make out what Kate Capshaw is saying in this version:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1H9eKWPGRo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1H9eKWPGRo) or is it jibberish?

Mississippi John Hurt - Nobody's Dirty Business

A 1928 song, I had it running in the background till I suddenly noticed the lyrics and thought, "WTF?"

QuoteAin't nobody's dirty business, how my baby's treatin' me
Nobody's business but mine
Ain't nobody's doggone business, how my baby's treatin' me
Nobody's business but my own

Some of these mornin's, gonna wake up crazy
Gonna grab my gun and kill my baby
Nobody's business but mine
Ain't nobody's doggone business, how my baby's treatin' me
Nobody's business but my own

Some of these mornin's gonna wake up boozy
Gonna grab my gun, gonna kill old Suzie
Ain't nobody's business but mine
Goin' back to Pensacola, goin' to buy my babe a money moulder
Nobody's business but my own

Say babe, did you get that letter?

Would you take me back, I'll treat you better?
Nobody's business but mine
Ain't nobody's doggone business, how my baby's treatin' me
Nobody's business but my own

Ain't nobody's doggone business, how my baby's treatin' me
Nobody's business but my own

Some of these mornin's, goin' to wake up crazy
Gonna grab my gun, gonna kill my baby
Nobody's business but mine
Ain't nobody's doggone business, how my baby's treatin' me
Nobody's business but my own

The Beatles - Help!

This one is a much better album than "Beatles for Sale."  George is finally getting his song per side in; and while they're not as good as the Lennon-McCartney songs, they're usually better than the  covers.  The exception is "Act Naturally," which might have been written for Ringo.  There's a few more forgettable numbers on this one than most subsequent Beatles albums, but "Help!", "Ticket to Ride," and "Yesterday" are classics.

Debbie Dean was the first white artist signed to Motown (Tamla had distributed Nick and the Jaguars Ich-I-Bon #1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_atDF3H5IfQ), but they weren't signed to Motown.)  Her first single was a response to "Shop Around," the same song with different lyrics and The Miracles backing her.  It would have been funny had Claudette Robinson sang lead on this one, but as it is it's a so-so novelty record.  The B-Side is actually a good song; Dean has the perfect voice for it.  She was a lot older (at 33) than most of the Motown artists, so she sounds considerably more mature and world weary.

The Beatles - Revolver

It's amusing that George is both the most materialistic Beatle (TAXMAN!!!) as well as the most spiritual (Love You To).  His off tempo count here to kick off the album is so different than Paul's on "Please Please Me" that alone demonstrates how much the group had grown in just four years.

This is Paul's album (Elanor Rigby, Here, There and Everywhere, Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine, Got to Get You Into My Life and the music to Tomorrow Never Knows) the way Rubber Soul was John's.  George once remarked that this was a continuation to Rubber Soul, but it sounds far beyond their previous album.

Barrett Strong - Money and Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TFCXiR_R4E) (1961)

Barrett's third failed attempt to have a follow up to "Money," (he'd have one more.)  They went all out on this one with all sorts of instrumentation (which ended up sounding incongruous and drowning out Barrett) and all four of Motown's premier song writers at the time (Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Janie Bradford and Robert Bateman.)  It's a tale about how having money only left Barrett unhappy ( :().  It's not very good.

The B side is You've Got What It Takes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQx9WiTsho4) a remake of the Marv Johnson song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LBMe04Anow) written by Berry Gordy pre-Motown.  Those aren't some of Berry's better lyrics and Marv does the song better.

The Beatles - Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Keith Richards thought that The Beatles got carried away too far on this one.  That could be sour grapes since the Rolling Stones attempt at psychedelia left something to be desired:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/Rolling_Stones_-_Their_Satanic_Majesties_Request_-_1967_Decca_Album_cover.jpg)

Oh, Mick, what were you thinking on?  To be fair, though, Richards' is the ultimate Chuck Berry and blues fan; and The Beatles certainly went off in a different direction on this one.  Even the other masterpieces of psychedelia (Love's Forever changes and The Zombies' Odessey and Oracle (no that's not a misspelling)) aren't this amazing.

No, not the Loco-motion  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNNW0SPkChI) Litte Eva, this one is actually Berry Gordy's second wife, Raynoma Gordy.  It's a slow tempo doo-wop song.  It's not a bad song, but it does sound like it's sung by the boss's wife.  With a better singer and some backup vocals this one might have been a hit.

The B Side is The Continental Strut (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51lwZWDgoUE); it's a mid-paced instrumental with a rockabilly guitar.  It's a decent song.  Miss Ray is probably the organist, she worked as a keyboardist and background singer during the very early days of Motown.

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

Released as an LP in North America; this contains the British double EP soundtrack to the movie and the singles.  This album has two of John's best compositions "I am the Walrus" and "Strawberry Fields Forever."  Paul's songs all sound perfectly polished; but he really could have used more lyrics on "Your Mother Should Know" and maybe a different concept for the title track; I think it's too much like the opening to "Sgt. Peppers."

I had thought before that George's composition "Blue Jay Way," was too long, but on this listen I thought maybe that's what makes it work.  It's length allows the song to become hypnotic.  It is clever, musically, in that George can now write a classical Indian inspired piece entirely on western instruments.

Probably the most stark difference between John and Paul (and where they were heading) is "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane."  Both are songs about childhood reminisces and both are excellent; but they're worlds apart.

I like the instrumental "Flying."  George Lucas (IIRC) said they used to watch the scene from the movie in film school.  Apparently it's the only part of the film worth watching.

The Contours Whole Lotta Woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFFMbSLxhWQ) (1961)

Berry Gordy was never really wild about The Contours, and hired them largely because one of them was related to Jackie Wilson.  This first single is a good example of why; it's a blistering rocker, rough and unpolished.  It's good, but it's not what Motown usually sounds like.  Singin' Sammy Ward would have been the only exception to date, and Gordy even tried to stick him with a more polished number on his first single.

The B side Come on and Be Mine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpC0YQ1efRo) sounds like a Sam Cooke song as sung by the Contours.  It's not bad, but it's not what they did well.

The Beatles - The Beatles (White Album)

Not so much an album as a collection of songs by four different artists who all recorded under the same name.  There's a couple duds on this (Piggies, Revolution Number 9) but for the most part each song is great.  They made better albums, but they may never have made a better collection of songs.

The Supremes – I Want A Guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDT71jVmg2s)

Motown's first girl group, and the one that would go on to become their greatest, started off here with this... one of a kind... number.  It's a mixture of creep-show organ, jazz flute and guitar with a sixteen year old Diana Ross belting out I-I-I want a guy.  It sounds like it should be awful, but it's not; it's actually pretty good.  It doesn't sound like anything else from the era, or any era really.  Of anything it reminded me of Desmond Dekker's "Fu Manchu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9pguRKP-HI)," if he had the Funk Brothers backing him.

Of course this wasn't a hit; the Supremes would go three years before that.  Mary Wilson said that they had been in a drought so long that she was begging Holland-Dozier-Holland to write them a hit.  They came back with this song where she and Florence Ballard kept saying "Baby, baby" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izzKUoxL11E) over and over.  She then went back to pleading for HDH to write them a hit.

The B Side (Never Again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGTYkWWVZLM)) is a more conventional girl group doo-wop song.  It worthwhile in that Diana Ross does really sound like a heartbroken 16 year old girl.

While this is their first single as the Supremes; they had first sung as "The Primettes" (the sister group to "The Primes", some of whose members would go on to form "The Temptations.")  They cut their first single, Tears of Sorrow/Pretty Baby (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-BVck45-DU) on another small Detroit record company, Lu Pine (RAWR!) Records.  Both of these are typical girl group numbers of the era.  Diana Ross sings lead on "Tears of Sorrow", Mary Wilson on "Pretty Baby."

That's an interesting way to put it.  At this point (1961) Motown was releasing a lot of doo-wop, and they did have a house band of jazz session musicians.  I'm not sure I'd call it "Funked up doo-wop," it's more straight-up doo-wop with more talented musicians than were common at the time.

This is still a couple of years before "The Motown Sound."  Later bands, like The Temptations would have intricate backing vocals similar to doo-wop.  I think I'll have to listen to more before I can give you a better answer.

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine

George gets in a couple good songs here with "Only a Northern Song" (with some of his sharper lyrics) and "It's all too Much."  Obviously Paul and John didn't attach too much importance to this album (which is why they let George have a third of the songs.)  "Hey Bulldog" is a nice Lennon rocker with some of his cutting lyrics.  Paul's "All Together Now" isn't all that good, but it's in the spirit of the title track.  The instrumental music (not written by The Beatles) is forgettable.

The Gospel Stars - He Lifted Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BEHRxj6bzI)

This is the first gospel single on Motown records.  Later there would be a separate label for gospel (Divinity), but at this point they'd be on Tamla with The Miracles and Barrett Strong.  This is a really slow song, but the lead's voice is so powerful that it makes it worthwhile.

The B Side (Behold the Saints of God (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH_wCkYQrUA)) is faster and the backing singers have a more prominent role.  It's okay, but I prefer the A side.

The Beatles - Abbey Road

This is The Beatles final album (though "Let it Be" would be released later) and it seems more the next link in the Rubber Soul - Revolver - Sgt. Peppers series than either The White Album (in which The Beatles obviously weren't working together) or Let It Be (where they tried to get to their live roots.)  This album makes me wish they could have kept going; but that was not to be.

The album does have a lot to recommend it; George finally writes hits, Ringo has "Octopus's Garden," it features some of their most intricate harmonies (especially "Because") and their best playing (especially "The End.")  I like the medley, but that's not going to be for everyone.

Mickey Woods - Poor Sam Jones (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tox_OPPyYjQ) (1961)

So this is a tragic story of a man who leaves his screaming kids and nagging wife and ends up with a lot of money... :unsure:

Berry Gordy was trying to appeal to white teenagers with this one.  Mickey sort of sounds like Ricky Nelson; but he doesn't have the presence to make this song sound sad.  The lyrics don't help much; and they're written by none other than Mr. Gordy.  Even the boss can pen a dud, but it's hard to believe that the author of Money (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5KU34DrrPI) and Lonely Teardrops (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ssjvFLniUU) came up with this one.

The B side The Rode Through The Valley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x0oO3cBw8Y) is much worse.  It's a chipper little country comedy number about Custer getting slaughtered at Little itty bitty Bighorn.  Imagine the laughs.

I'm not sure, but I think Paul wrote a love song to John in "Two of Us."  :unsure:

Incredibly uneven album; some classics on this with "Two of Us," "Across the Universe," "Let it Be" and "Get Back."  The other songs are mostly mediocre, except "The Long and Winding Road," which is awful.  That sounds like Paul was trying to write a hit for Andy Williams.

Richard Wylie and His Band Money (That's What I Want) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A7Iuyzn-NA) (1961)

This is different; it starts out as a raucous boogie woogie solo, and then Funk Brother Richard "Popcorn" Wylie starts singing Money.  This probably would have worked better as just an instrumental.  As it is, it's two ideas that don't really go together.

The B side I'll Still Be Around (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxpFFkKoXrM), is entirely different.  It's a lounge song in which Wylie croons away.

Glad you liked it!

Yung is part of the very hyped Danish punk wave of which Ice Age is best known. They can do nothing wrong.

Psyched Up Janis was the Danish answer to Grunge in the 90's, I guess you had to be there and I was a bit too young.

De Underjordiske is more psych rock in the rest of their stuff, various success but this number is great.

Pluto - Guldlok is a classic for me, released just around the time I was starting at Uni.

The most interesting new Danish music is probably The Entrepreneurs with the song 'Brutal Summer' though, great energy in that one. Horrible band name, but hey, I guess that's never easy.

"It's got a good beat and you can dance to it."  :)

I dunno.  The note progressions, especially in the verses, sound nice to me, and they work with the lyrics.  Plus it's singable.  And I like the contrast between the understatement of the verses and the overstatement of the chorus.  Reminds me a little of Bridge Over Troubled Water in that way.

The Beatles - Let It Be... Naked (:perv:)

Some of the songs work out a little better without Phil Spector's production; I liked "For Your Blues" and "One After 909" more than I did on the regular version.  On the other hand the Paul's more polished vocals on "Let it Be" work better on "I've Got A Feeling."  The biggest changes are on "Let It Be," "Across the Universe" and "The Long and Winding Road," I don't think the versions are better, just different.

"Dig it" and "Maggie May," were removed from this at no great loss.  Unfortunately "Don't Let Me Down" was added.  It's an interesting experiment, but I don't think it's an improvement over the original "Let It Be."

Actually maybe Motown thought the Satintones thought they were obscure enough to get away with it.  Motown only had two crossover hits at this point ("Money" and "Shop Around.")  (Motown did have some more singles which made it on the R&B charts.)  I don't think the Satintones ever made it on any chart.

Speaking of Sweden, anyone else read about the preponderance of middle aged Scandinavians writing current chart hits?  I've read two articles about it, one in The Atlantic and one in the NYT.

Like Max Martin and similar? What did the rags say?

David Bowie - David Bowie (1967)

Everyone has to start somewhere and Mr. Jones's first album is... different.  The songs lie somewhere between British music hall, British middle of the road music, and just plain Britishness.  The album isn't good, but it isn't dull, thanks largely to the fact that most of the songs seem to have been written by a crazy person.  The most unforgettable track is Please Mr. Gravedigger (https://vimeo.com/3223751) which is a duet for voice and sound effects.  As a strange coincidence, the album was released the same day as "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Gino Parks - Blibberin' Blabbin' Blues (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uXTJ9sBUV8) (1961)

Well so long as you're ripping off people, you might as well keep going.  Here Motown makes an almost identical song to Yakety Yak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cHB3Rbz1OI) by the Coasters.  This isn't quite as blatant as "Tomorrow and Always," at least they didn't use the same lyrics this time through.  It's actually not a Gino Parks solo record, but a trio of Gino Parks, Henry Lumpkin and Robert Bateman of the Satintones.  Motown had, at this time, thought of making Motown's answer to "The Coasters," which makes their rip-off that much worse.

The B side Don't Say Bye Bye (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZayxRuzAJKk) had already been released as a B-side by Ron and Bill for the single "It."  It's sort of an Everly Brothers song as sung by The Coasters.

Just recently found a very touching song from an American rock band Ignite.

Their singer was born in the US from Hungarian parents, and in this singing in Hungarian (with a bit of accent), about good memories of his grandma and the village his family is from, and how we should not forget our roots. Needless to say my immigrant soul can relate. :)

David Bowie - Space Oddity (Album)

This is light years ahead of his first album; while it isn't quite the masterpiece of most of his 70s output, the songs are all good enough that the album is listenable.  You can start to hear his themes develop here; the Messiah figure on "Cygnet Committee" or the fluid persona in "Janine."  There's some duds (the orchestration in "Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud" ruin the song, I don't care for the Bob Dylan freakout at the end of "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed,") and none of the songs live up to the title track.  Still I think it's a good album overall.

The Satintones - Angel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoHuTIKQdTE) (1961)

So with the fiasco of "Tomorrow and Always" Berry was forced to withdraw the single.  Rather than simply leave a blank spot for the single number, he reached back into the vaults and created a new single for the Satintones.  It has the same B side ("A Love that Can Never Be") as "Tomorrow and Always."  This is the sort of single that makes you wonder what else Motown has in it's vaults; it's amazing.  Not only is it the Satintones best (not a real high bar) but it's one of the best doo-wop songs ever made.  This was the end of the doo-wop era so once again this didn't chart and the Satintones are largely a forgotten act in the mighty Motown empire.

David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World (Album)

The best album Deep Purple never made.   ;)

David Bowie's foray into heavy metal has it's moments, most notably "The Supermen" and the title track.  Other points he's trying a little too hard to be Ozzy (especially "She Shook Me Cold.")  The big improvements here are Mick Ronson on guitar and that the songs have taken on a theatrical quality.  The latter works especially well given the albums repeated theme of madness.

The lyrics are hit or miss but, as "After All" demonstrates, Bowie can make utterly meaningless lyrics work (Oh, by jingo.)

Marvin Gay - (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade is Over (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9yZMWlttSs)

No that's not a typo; in fact he was born "Marvin Gay," and released his first solo single under that name.  This is not at all what I expected from Marvin's first single; at the time he wanted to be a crooner who sang standards.  Berry Gordy wanted him to sing R&B.  While we know who won the argument in the end, at the time Marvin did manage to get a few lounge songs off.  He's still an amazing singer, and who knows, maybe he could have been Motown's answer to Johnny Mathis.

The song references "Pagliacci," (yes, it should be Pagliaccio, or Pierrot).  It's hard not to think of Smokey Robinson in the listening booth thinking "Sad clowns, now there's an idea that has legs..."

The B Side Witchcraft (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12LWpqkOjKg) sounds like The Glenn Miller Orchestra somehow got Marvin Gaye to sing for them.

David Bowie - Hunky Dory

Again a scattershot of influences like Space Oddity.  This time they range from Bob Dylan to the music hall  :bowler: to the Velvet Underground; but this time it all works together.  In part that's thanks to Rick Wakeman's keyboard work on most of the songs, but to a larger extent it's Bowie himself who can now bring all of his songs to life as unmistakably David Bowie songs.

I learned that Bowie wrote "Andy Warhol" for the buxom Dana Gillespie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gihm6iUnvp8), though her album wouldn't be released until two years after "Hunky Dory."  Her version is intense, like Bowie's it has Mick Ronson on guitar.

"The Bewlay Brothers" is one that I find amusing.  David Bowie was convinced that Americans loved cryptic lyrics (probably due to Dylan) so he set out to write the most cryptic lyrics possible.  I think he was rather successful in that endeavor.

Marvin Gaye - Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e1_pPdWdPA)

Five days after "(I'm Afraid) the Masquerade is Over" Marvin Gaye (this time spelled as we know it) released this down tempo doo-wop number.  Gaye had been a late member of The Moonglows (probably best remembered for Sincerely (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsxVKN114M0), though that would have been long before Marvin Gaye was in the group), so this came easily to him.  He doesn't sound like he's all that interested in singing the song; this was the R&B number Berry Gordy had wanted him to do; Marvin wanted to sing standards.  To modern ears it really doesn't sound all that different from a lounge standard; but at the time they were completely different and aimed at very different audiences.

The B side Never Let You Go (Sha Lu Bop) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go5kGq8NBRU&app=desktop) is an... er... homage to Little Richard.  It's not bad, but Marvin really needed to give it more energy to work.  The Funk Brothers at least sound like they're having fun, with the pounding piano solos.

Mary Wells - I Don't Want To Take A Chance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThGbeAuo8Ng)

Motown had a long string of duds in early 1961; some were great and just failed to find an audience, but many were bad.  Berry pulled out all the stops on this one.  It worked out, not only is it a great song, but it managed to hit the pop top 40 (only the third time Motown had done that "Money" and "Shop Around" were the first two) as well as an R&B top 10.

The B Side I'm So Sorry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm7Siv1Kesk) is a mid-tempo blues number.  Wells really had a great voice for this sort of song.

This would be the first time Motown would use its iconic "Map" label on a single:

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

I'm an al-eee-gator

I doubt anyone else could sing that with such sincerity.  Once again all the influences are on display; Marc Bolan, Jacques Brel, The VU, and Anthony Newley (as well as Judy Garland...) all shine through, but this time the work is unmistakably Bowie.  The album is Bowie at his most theatric, with an opening, a closing and something of a story.  With all that it works together remarkably well; in my opinion this is both David Bowie's best album as well as Mick Ronson's.

Maybe.  Some of the early Motown singles need some sort of indulgence afterwards.

I had been tempted to listen to the individual Beatles solo careers after I finished up their albums, but I really don't have that great of a collection of them (and none of their solo works are as good as a Beatles album.)  So I went with Bowie instead.

Andre Williams - Rosa Lee Stay off of that Bell (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMpKEQchnvI) (1961)

No, not that Andre Williams, this Andre Williams was a R&B singer (sort of) known for his novelty records like Bacon Fat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0kr0IFsM6E) and Jail Bait (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w09ukTUUhBY).  (Yes the latter is exactly what you expect it to be.)  He doesn't so much sing as he delivers his lines in a slow drawl.  So it's something of a surprise that he does sing on this, his one and only Motown single.  It sort of sounds like a Carl Perkins rip-off; it's a colossal waste of talent for both Mr. Williams and the Funk Brothers.

The B Side Shoo Doo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52roec1IiIE) clearly should have been the A-Side.  In this one Andre tells a story about a girl he meets.  When he asks her parents if he could take her out they tell him that he can if he takes her brother and sister as well.  After he agrees to that they keep adding relatives and pets he must also take with them.  All the while the background singers Shoo Doo, while they sound like they're trying not to burst out into giggles.  It might not have been a hit, but it is what Andre Williams did best.

Andre would go on to become a producer and songwriter; producing for such different groups as The Temptations, Ike and Tina, and Parliament.  Then he blew all his money on drugs and ended up homeless.  Then he got straightened out and is still making zany novelty records.

David Bowie - Aladin Sane

There's a musical program which accompanies the fireworks in Detroit every year; it's accompanies the fireworks program on television as well as being played on radio for people watching them live.  Every year, right after the grand finale, they play Sammy Davis Jr's "Hello Detroit."  It would have been so much more appropriate if they had played "Panic in Detroit," with the chaos following all the people leaving at once.

The album sort of follows the same format as Ziggy Stardust, but doesn't really work together the way the previous album did.  The major problem is that Bowie seems unable to decide if he wants to make a straight out rock album, or a campy retro-future avant garde cabaret album.  The songs vary between those two very different ideas.  The individual songs are all great (with the exception of his... visionary... interpretation of "Let's Spend the Night Together") but as a whole album it doesn't come close to living up to its predecessor.

David Bowie - Pin Ups

The last hurrah for The Spiders From Mars; this is a collection of covers from mid-60s British bands.  Most of the covers are quite different from the originals.  The only one that I think is a substantial improvement is "Sorrow" (originally by the Merseys) the sax solo breathes life into the song.  The one that I think went wrong is "See Emily Play," his version is just too weird (something I never thought I'd write about a Syd Barrett song.)  The others are interesting.  The Rykodisc version is worth hunting down for Bowie's attempts to sound like Bruce Springsteen on "Growing Up," and his (in my opinion) improved cover of Jacques Brel's "Amsterdam."

Barrett Strong Misery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr-tV9f0Ilg)

This is the end of the line for Motown singer Barrett Strong.  The song is actually pretty good, it's a slow bluesy shuffle.  It's easily his best single since "Money," but it didn't chart and he moved on.

The B-Side Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tm58Wpoh9A) is a straight out blues song.  Unfortunately Barrett's voice was too smooth for the blues.

Barrett would bounce around a number of record companies, and make some decent records.  Make Up Your Mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZT03Y9X0-Y) for instance, sounds like an early Curtis Mayfield number.  He never had another hit single, at least not as a performer.  He became a songwriter and returned to Motown in the late sixties where he co-wrote classics like "I heard it through the Grapevine."

David Bowie - Diamond Dogs

The album derives a number of its songs from two aborted concepts of Bowie's; Ziggy Stardust the Stage Show (Rebel Rebel) and a musical version of 1984 (We are the Dead, 1984, Big Brother.)  Somehow he took those fragments and created a perfectly weird vision of a glam dystopia.

This is his first outing since "Space Oddity" without The Spiders From Mars; but he's still stuck in his glam phase complete with persona (Halloween Jack this time) and something of a story.  I think it still works out pretty well.  Bowie's singing had noticeably improved, and he can manage to croon now.

"1984" is probably the most danceable song about a totalitarian dystopia ever made.  Tina Turner even covered it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZnOKBysN78).  :cool:

This didn't actually come out of nowhere; Bowie had demonstrated some soul influences on Diamond Dogs and then on the Diamond Dogs tour sang his old songs as Philadelphia soul style songs.  You can hear that on "David Live," but that's strictly for fanatics only; the album is terrible.

Young Americans suffers from some weak compositions ("Right," "Can You Hear Me,") but the masterpieces (the title track, "Fascination," "Fame," and "Somebody up there Likes Me") far outweigh them.  The band is amazing (no less than David Sanborn on Sax) as well as the backup singers (featuring a young Luther Vandross.)  Many times, though, David really does sound like a white limey trying to do an O'Jays impression; I still giggle whenever I hear his "Sho' nuff" on Fascination.

He might have thought that too, since he lets the backup singers have such a dominant role on many of the songs.  I think that works pretty well, especially on "Fascination."

James Brown's Hot, (I need to be loved, loved, loved, loved) (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x23c6c2_james-brown-hot-i-need-to-be-loved-loved-loved-loved-1975_music) was obviously influenced by "Fame," but Bowie himself took the lick from Foot Stompin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmKw1ebNxH8) by the Flares (though obviously funked it up a lot.)  David Bowie performed his funkier version of Foot Stompin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09U7x6YaTMw) live a few times.

QuoteWe thank you for the Kool-Aid, Reverend Jim
We're glad to leave behind their world of sin
Our lifeless bodies fall on holy ground
Rotting flesh, a sacrificial mound

Were you our God or a man in a play
Who took our applause and forced us to stay?
Now all together we lived as we died
On your command by your side

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand

In the cult of the damned, we all worked the land
Too afraid to look up, we all feared his hand

Hurry my children there isn't much time
But we'll meet again on the other side

Be good to the children and old people first
Hand them a drink, they're dying of thirst

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand, oh

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand, oh, oh

Bigfoot, Bigfoot thrown in a well
Pulled under water, screaming like hell
He told us life was just a hotel
Time to check out when he rang a bell

Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand
Guyana in the cult of the damned
Give us your word for the grand final stand

Oh, mother, mother, mother

Mable John No Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAPTMuYT4-c)

This is a very slow blues doo-wop number.  It had about a year since Mable's first single; "Who Wouldn't Love a Man Like That?"  Mary Wells was taking off as the star and Mable was largely forgotten.  Mable really could sing (in fact she'd go on to become a Raelette, one of Ray Charles's background singers), but this was past the end of the doo-wop era (and obviously pop blues was not what Motown became known for.)

The B side Looking for a Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOTjHTBTy4g) is a sassier blues number; that turned out not to be her style.

This single failed to chart, and Mable would never have a hit with Motown.  She did have a hit with Stax later; the incredible You're Good Thing is about to End (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF1VDhw7X4w).  I doubt even Aretha could have done it better; unfortunately Mable never had a follow up

The Drifters Dance With Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWGn_-MeuZ8)

Not related to the Orleans song of the same name (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-IXJLgRnvs), this version features the great Ben E. King in his brief time in The Drifters.  The Drifters would have over 60 members in their many line up changes.  Ben E. King only recorded 13 songs as part of the group; but they include "This Magic Moment" and "Save the Last Dance For Me."  This one isn't well known; but it's still great with both the soaring strings and the harmonizing from the other drifters.

They did inspire one of my favorite parody/cover bands, though, Mandowar. Their "Gods of Folk" mimics Manowar's song style so well (with acoustic guitars and mandolins), that I could have sworn it's a cover, but I couldn't find the original matching it:

David Bowie - Station to Station

I was reading the Rig-Veda at the time I was living across the street from the drug house1..  One Sunday morning I got home and someone had gotten a battery powered radio (they had other priorities than paying the electricity bill at the drug house; so the power had been cut off long ago.)  He was blaring gospel music from one of the many Christian stations here in Melbourne.  At the time I thought that was just like the Rig-Veda with drugs, religion and music.  I was reminded of that again today when I was listening to the coked up religious songs on "Station to Station."

While the drugs were obviously taking over at this point (the legend is that Bowie recorded this in a week long coke binge) it's a good album.  I like this better than "Young Americans," while Bowie's music is still soul; he's not pretending to be the O'Jays long lost British cousin any more.  It's more like Kraftwerk meets Philadelphia; something so different that only Bowie could pull it off.

1.)  Yes, I realize most people's stories don't start off this way.

Gino Parks - Same Thing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y-nnnUvjBQ)

This is a fun little 50s era R&B rocker complete with sax breaks. Gino really gives it all from the opening acapella lines to the shouting chorus.  The B side, That's No Lie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgmAqtuutNw), is a mid tempo blues number.  Gino's career never really went anywhere and he ended up as an insurance salesman by the late 60s.  I think he suffered from the same problem as the Contours, his voice was suitable for a rougher R&B/rock than Berry Gordy was interested in making.  You could see him more as a rival to James Brown than to Marvin Gaye.

The Crests - The Angels Listened In (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5tpkhHyxgc)

The Crests were probably the most integrated band in the 50s with three black members (including Luther Vandross's aunt, Patricia Vandross) one Puerto Rican and a white guy an Italian.  Naturally the white guy dago is the lead singer; Johnny Maestro, who'd go on to have the hit Worst That Could Happen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wn04VG_D3g).

The Crests harmonies are pretty straight forward for a doo-wop group; this is more akin to straight out 50s era rock and roll with a pounding piano and tinny electric guitar.

David Bowie - Low

The first, and in my opinion, best of the triptych; this was written at a low point in David Bowie's life as he tried to kick his cocaine habit.  The albums first side is a series of jagged avant-garde pop songs on the first side, and a series of spacey art rock instrumentals on the back side.  It's a little bleak at points, but overall it's a masterpiece.  It's well ahead of it's time, and an influence on everyone from Joy Division to Trent Reznor.  Even so it still remains a challenging, incredible work.

One of the Satintones better singles, it's worth a listen for the bass man repeating brr-rum-pum-pum over and over.  The B side My Kind of Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgRvN3zJi30) is better.  That doesn't really sound like a Satintones song, it's more like a solo effort by their lead singer Vernon Williams.  The song itself is different too, it sort of sounds like a Holland-Dozier-Holland song (Brian Holland was one of the co-writers.)  It's not quite there yet, but you can hear what's coming up.

I'm surprised.  I saw the Cure on the Bloodflowers tour in 2000, they played almost none of their hits and mostly songs from the new album.  Plus even then Robert Smith was far too old to continue to dress up like Edward Scissorhands.  It wasn't a bad show, but I'd read the reviews before I bought tickets for their current tour.

Okay, so I was/am a huge The Cure fan.  Back in 1996 I drove from Flin Flon, MB to freaking Milwaukee to see them - then again the next night in Minneapolis.

I was very glad I did - it was a lot of fun, but if I'm speaking honestly I've seen other artists put on better shows (though perhaps not as good music).  And yes they played a lot from their current album at the time, Wild Mood Swings, which wasn't a bad album but still past their peak.

But yeah even in 1996 Robert Smith was looking a bit old to be wearing makeup.  I don't think I'd make a similar trip these days these days, when Robert Smith is (checks google) 56.

The one caveat though... they haven't produced a new studio album since 2008.  So they're not going to be playing a bunch of new stuff, but instead heavily mining their classics.

Although one shouldn't use the word "they" in discussing The Cure, as it's a pretty much revolving door where Smith is the only constant.

The Supremes - Buttered Popcorn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxI-CwEOOJ8)

This is the only Supreme's single Florence Ballard sings lead on.  It's supposed to be a double entendre laden novelty comedy song about how Florence's boyfriend loves popcorn greasy :perv: and sticky :perv: and gooey :perv: and salty :perv:.  It's not good, it's not funny and it was written by Berry Gordy himself.  This is also the last single the fourth Supreme, Barbara Martin, would be credited on.

The B side is another stab at Who's Lovin' You (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSLicdIIV5A) with Diana singing lead.  Diana struggles with the vocals on this one.  It's a good song, it just needed the right singer.  Unfortunately he was only four at the time.

Not the "Wipe Out" people, those were The Surfaris; The Safaris were also from California, but a doo wop group rather than surf rock.  This is their one and only hit; but it was big enough that they ended up on American Bandstand with Dick Clark.  It's a nice, slow doo-wop number.  I like the background singing slowly rises.  The metronome is a nice touch; (though maybe they were that far out of time without it...)

David Bowie – Heroes

More consciously "Arty" than Low, the songs on this still all manage to work.  A big part of this is due to Robert Fripp's amazing guitar work; this more makes up for a few word collages.  Some of the songs are among Bowie's best, notably the title track and "Joe the Lion."  The instrumentals on the B side, with the exception of V2 Schneider, are just too long and too weird for me.  Unlike "Low" he closes out with a song ("Secret Life of Arabia,") I think that helps tie the whole album together.

The weakest link of the triptych (and the one that Brian Eno collaborated most closely with Bowie on.)  It's not as challenging, or as rewarding, as the two albums that preceded it; but the songs are all solid.  It's something of a poppy response to the musical ideas explored in Heroes and Low.

The Temptations - Oh Mother of Mine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3eb4rsUkzU)

This is the very first Temptations single; before David Ruffin was even in the band.  It's a fun little dance number; and almost perfectly fits Yi's description of Motown (of the period) as "Funked up doo-wop."  The Temptations would go through a number of line up changes throughout the years; and, at one time, there were two Motown groups who called themselves the Temptations performing.  The  co-writer of the song, Otis Williams is the only original Temptation in the group.

The Motown Museum has a rotating presentation of memorabilia.  The first time I went there they had some 70s era Temptation costumes on display.  The costumes were all identical size; the museum guide explained that in order to be a Temptation you had to be at least 6 feet tall.

The B side Romance Without Finance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK0xymiSslo) is more akin to something the Contours would do.  It's a raucous number, but the Temptations don't do raucous, or at least they don't do it very well.

David Bowie - Scary Monsters

The last great David Bowie album (almost every album of his since then has been hailed as "His best since Scary Monsters.")  This one expands on the idea of Lodger; but instead of drawing inspiration from Bowie's last two albums he takes it from his entire career at that point.  The result is a wonderful, soulful electro-glam album.   :cool:

I like his cover of "Kingdom Come," but he doesn't really sell the song the way Tom Verlaine does.  Bowie's version is so smooth I don't believe for a moment that Bowie thinks there's someone in tower watching him, or that there's a face of doom anywhere near him.  Tom, on the other hand, is so nervous sounding that it's quite believable.

The Golden Harmoneers – I am Bound (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHk0vvlu4Cs) (1961)

Surprisingly this is just a straight out R&B number with Gospel lyrics.  It's quite danceable and has a funky drummer whom I hope was Marvin Gaye (no listing of the personal survive.)

The B side, Precious Memories (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OwXrZRnyM4), was the bigger hit.  It's much slower and much more intricate than the A-side.  It features both a funky gospel organ and a funky Ondioline.  (Nowhere but Motown could have a funky Ondioline.) 

I like both tracks, but this was all probably a little too weird for the Gospel audience in 1961.  The Golden Harmoneers never had another single

Bowie's biggest selling of all time.  There's a lot of dead spots on this album but the title track, Modern Love, China Girl and his cover of Criminal World are enough to carry the album.  The version of Cat People on the album isn't bad, but the single version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMjPKGHt2mU) is much better.  The other three songs are forgettable, and a sign of what was to come.

The Marvelettes - Please Mr. Postman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=425GpjTSlS4)

Inkster is a largely African American suburb in Detroit.  In 1961 the high school's talent show had a prize, the first three places would be given an audition at the then fledgling Motown records.  The Marvelettes took fourth place, but with special pleading ended up getting an audition, then got a second audition in front of Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson and then got Motown's first number 1 single on the pop charts.  The two things that struck me on this listen was how slow the tempo is, and how the all of fifteen year old Gladys Horton nails the vocals.

I really wish John Lennon hadn't sung "Deliver de lettah de soonah de bettah" on the Beatles cover, but Gladys makes it work.

The B side So Long Baby (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy5bfEsQP2c) sung by Wanda Young, is kind of painful.  Eventually she would go on to become the lead singer of the Marvelettes, but here she's clearly not ready.  (In fact the Marvelettes first called themselves the Cansinyets a pun on "Can't Sing Yet.")

Yeah Alchemy is pretty good in places. By coincidence I'm waiting for the last live album they did, to arrive in the next couple days.  :)

Indeed. My first experience of them was 'Lover over Gold', came out the month I went to University and I remember seeing 'private investigations' a lot on MTV/video jukeboxes.  :)

David Bowie - Tonight

Continues on in the vein of "Let's Dance," but with far weaker songs and arrangements.  Blue Jean is a good song and Loving the Alien is decent; the other ones have issues.  The covers are all bad ideas and the rest of the songs are fill.

The Contours - The Stretch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCPJPW4oaoM)

In 1960 Chubby Checker had a hit with his cover of The Twist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHGXwQeUk7M).  (The original is by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qoY93CkwlA).)  Berry Gordy, being Berry Gordy, thought he'd try to start his own dance sensation, the stretch.  Obviously it never caught on, but the song is good.  It's what The Contours do best; a raucous R&B number.

The B-Side, Funny (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cl-xv88V8w), is not what The Contours do well; a slow doo-wop ballad.  This isn't very good at all, it sounds like they got it on the first take and without rehearsing.

Even in those days Motown had its own studio.  My guess is that they were probably just trying to rush this single release; and there were some quality control issues back in the early days.  Even if this had been more polished, I don't think it would have been a good song; slow ballads were not The Contours things.

Debbie Dean Itsy Bity Pity Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo9NY8hNOqs) (1961)

A light C&W song written by two of Motown's standard songwriters from the period, Janie Bradford and Popcorn Wylie.  Debbie gives it her best shot, but I doubt even Patsy Cline could have made this one work.  The B side But I'm Afraid (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsl8GadScHY) is much better.  That's none other than Berry Gordy on cowbell.

Dean would go on to have one more single with Motown before being dropped from the label.  Motown was marketing themselves the sound of young America and Debbie was, at age 34, well, not quite the image they were looking for.  She'd eventually return as a songwriter.

Reverend Columbus Mann - They Shall Be Mine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HxsPEfiqMs)

Another Motown stab at gospel music; this is a rollicking boogie-woogie number.  The song has its moments, especially when Reverend Mann starts listing the saved (Obadiah, Oh Zachariah...); unfortunately it's not well recorded and it's hard to make out what the choir is saying.

The B-Side Jesus Loves (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtTl3CAojkM) starts out with a really slow, really drawn out introduction; and then suddenly Reverend Mann turns into Reverend James Brown (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKKVVnKjr2g).  That's pretty cool, but it's a test of patience to get there.

I now have the CD for an album I probably listened to once 25 years ago, then but the vinyl away, I've now heard the CD and have put that away for probably another 25 years!  :hmm:

The Equadors - Someone to Call My Own (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hEaQm58Lo0) (1961)

A straightforward doo-wop number in which the lead singer wants a woman.  He doesn't seem to have any requirements beyond that; just a woman.  The B side You're My Desire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y8Eponhoa8) is a straight up street corner doo-wop ballad.  Neither of these songs went anywhere; and they never had another single at least as The Equadors.  No one seems to know who these people are.  There was a fifties Philadelphia doo-wop group called The Equadors who had a minor hit with Sputnik Dance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_fARQcrL6c) and there was an early rock and roll group called the Ecuadors who played with Chuck Berry and had a hit with Let Me Sleep Woman (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur5ZUbUOmwI) (that's Chuck on the guitar) but neither of them seems to be the same Equadors as the Motown Equadors.

2- I really think it just meant R&B. Spotify has included for that - CeeLo Green, Janelle Monae, The Weeknd, Solange etc.

4 - Here its examples are tons of things that I don't know but I had used some house playlists as background music. So they have Made to Move, Wild Culture, Walker & Royce, etc. I think Kygo is what got me this too.

5 - Their examples were Tiesto, Calvin Harris, Zedd, Swedish House Mafia, etc. All of whom I did listen too.

Pete Hartfield - Love Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOr4yYvFbGs) (1961)

Another flop on Miracle records (they had seven in a row by this point), this one's a mid-tempo doo-wop ballad.  While Pete could sing; this sort of song was becoming passe by this period.  It isn't helped that the B-side Darling Tonight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-pZBXY8OwU) sounds almost identical.

Pete would never have a single on Motown, but he'd go on to do an R&B song... er... inspired by "Great Balls of Fire" called Mighty Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHS78KbcXqE).  That's actually a lot of fun; it's too bad he never made it any further.

In both of which, Garbon trashes it.

The ratio of Garbon trashing the song to me commenting on it is now 3:2, so maybe you should be mocking his crazy negative obsession with it instead.  :P

I don't see how you could classify that first example of me trashing it. I even explained specifically that I wasn't saying I wouldn't think it would be included on such a list because it doesn't have mass appeal/fame in US.

And the second time, yes I did trash it after you noted it as a good song. I think that leaves us at a 2:2 parity.

First time I've heard an entire Beatles studio album. And it was much much better than I expected.

Abbey Road: A+

I had heard Come Together, Something and Here Comes the Sun before and liked them but the stand out tracks on that albums for me was definitely Oh! Darling and I Want You (She's So Heavy). Never heard McCartney sing like in Oh! Darling, I am starting to see why people were sad they ended it here.

Also I couldn't really tell where one song started and another ended from about You Never Give Me Your Money but it was all good. At what point did Beatles stop playing Love Me Do songs and start playing well?

:huh: Just remind us, how old are you, Liep? And you never listened to a full studio album by the Beatles? kids these days  :rolleyes:

For a serious answer to your question, from Rubber Soul onwards they reached top notch quality, although there are several good to great songs in Help! and For Sale, too.
And if you consider Abbey Road an A+, then I'll wait for your votes on Rubber Soul, SPLHCB, Revolver and the White Album.

First time I've heard an entire Beatles studio album. And it was much much better than I expected.

Abbey Road: A+

I had heard Come Together, Something and Here Comes the Sun before and liked them but the stand out tracks on that albums for me was definitely Oh! Darling and I Want You (She's So Heavy). Never heard McCartney sing like in Oh! Darling, I am starting to see why people were sad they ended it here.

Also I couldn't really tell where one song started and another ended from about You Never Give Me Your Money but it was all good. At what point did Beatles stop playing Love Me Do songs and start playing well?
:huh: Just remind us, how old are you, Liep? And you never listened to a full studio album by the Beatles? kids these days  :rolleyes:

For a serious answer to your question, from Rubber Soul onwards they reached top notch quality, although there are several good to great songs in Help! and For Sale, too.
And if you consider Abbey Road an A+, then I'll wait for your votes on Rubber Soul, SPLHCB, Revolver and the White Album.

L.

My parents' album collection consisted mostly of Danish left wing music (it was pretty good though, "Røde Mor", etc.), some classical music predominately performed by the Bolshoi orchestra and a Bowie compilation LP that I played til it could play no more.

So it happens pretty often that I run into an artist that I can't believe my parents didn't play for me 15-25 years ago, this year it's the Beatles and Paul Simon, last year it was Miles Davis and The Smiths and not that many years ago it was Tom Waits who's now my all time favourite artist.

My parents played a lot of Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Yanni (to the point that I hid my mother's Yanni Album), Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. At least that's my recall of the bulk of what was played.

Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Ace of Base, Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan  (and probably someone else I'm forgetting) all had honorable mentions as my father bought their albums trying to track down a song by Suzanne  Vega. :lol:

The White Album was next: A

It's very long so I've only had time to hear it twice. There are some absolute killer songs on this one but then it ends with Good Night which I don't really know what to make of, it's like they wanted to make fun of people after having just played Revolution 9. I'm getting the feeling that Starr shouldn't really have been allowed to sing.

McCartney's trip down silly lane was slightly better on this than on Abbey Road, but Maxwell's Silver Hammer was a strong contender in that category.

But yeah, so far it's #1 Abbey Road, #2 White Album

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: A

I'm more and more ashamed that I thought the Beatles was just a pop band. Is With a Little Help Starr's best song? I think it might be, it's still a bit boring though. I like it when the Beatles goes a little prog rocky and medley-y which they did excellently on A Day in the Life. Fantastic!

#1 Abbey Road, #2 The White Album, #3 SPLHCB

The White Album is such a mess, and such a great achievement...both at the same time.  The fact that the group was falling apart by this time but still could (at times) get together to create songs is important.  That is why the later stuff was so good, the tensions mixed with creativity made for such an amazing crucible.

Yes, that's why I was initially not as thrilled about it as I was by Abbey Road which feels much more coherent.

Listening to 10 artists predicted by a Danish music magazine to be big in 2016. Many of the press photos for the bands have a 80's filter on them and their style is clearly inspired by Ice Age which I guess is the most successful Danish band of the last couple of years. Most of it is very bland.

Two of them seem to actually be worth following: The Entrepreneurs and Liss.

QuotePull him away
Jealous so with me
Go there for new
For new things there

Singing of a famous street
I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me

He's a hustler
It's a role he'll never make suit
Hang on to this
Stay and stay and fail and fail

Pull him away
Jealous so with me
Go there for new
For new things there

Singing of a famous street
I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me

Reaching this itch in my soul
Is like any good playing card
Must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
Why it's more brighter than the sun is to me

Carnivals are bluster loud
I'm dizzy so I go under the 'Big Dipper'
Cum fantasy for a carnival
How fitting before a wedding

Singing of a famous street
I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me

Reaching this itch in my soul
Is like any good playing card
Must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
Why it's more brighter than the sun is to me

Maybe then you will swear
This is hardly personal
I suspect I'm singing to a tune
And still find that beats singing to your sone
These *should* be the lyrics, but frankly I cannot remember one single line of those  :huh: I'll listen to it tonight at home.

Growing up there were four Beatles albums we listened to over and over again, Revolver, Sgt Pepper, the White Album and Abbey Road.  In fact Revolver was the first album I ever bought.  I'm going through all their studio albums now.  I think it's been 15-20 years since I last listened to them.  Revolver and the White Album really hit me in a way that I didn't expect and certainly can't describe.  Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road were less impactful except for a couple of tracks.

World wide sales for a Danish song. Barbie Girl is still the only song foreigners will know when they ask about Danish music, that might change now.

I listened to a couple of Clara Rockmore recordings after today's Google doodle.  I didn't care much for them; outside of creepy movies and "Good Vibrations" I just don't care for the Theremin.  I've seen two performances that used the Theremin; one was at the Detroit Institute of Arts, the group was an accordion virtuoso and a Theremin virtuoso.  There music was very slow, and didn't seem to go anywhere - it was avant-garde, though, you could tell because half the audience left after about five minutes.  The second was a band opening for Air, which consisted of a keyboardist and a Theremin player.  Midway through one of their last songs the Theremin player screamed and fell down on the floor (as part of the act.)  That was also avant-garde.  What really made that great, though, is that one of the guitarists from air had done so many drugs that he also fell down on stage (not part of the act.)

I'm sorry you're having a bad day, Norge, but that doesn't excuse calling Bobby "Blue" Bland Motown.   :mad:

;)

Bland was actually on Duke records (and then various other labels after Duke was bought.)  Though it's not usually thought of as "The Motown Sound", Motown did actually have blues singers on their labels.  In fact one of Motown's first charting singles was "That Child is Really Wild" by Singin' Sammy Ward.

In any event I hope your day is turning out better.

Here is the Motown Discography:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motown_discography (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motown_discography) unfortunately the singles listed stop at 1965.  (Looking at the #1 singles I can see why you had only heard Diana Ross.)  You can go to Amazon and type in "The Complete Motown Singles, Vol..." then start with volume 5 to get he rest of 1965; they go up to 1972 (volume 12 (a and b)) for all to the Detroit years.  I've gone through them until September of 1961 and managed to find all of the singles online; so I assume everything else is available.

If you get a chance check out "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" a documentary about the (sadly often neglected) Motown house band, The Funk Brothers.

On that subject:

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles – Everybody's Gotta Pay Some Dues (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U6NgzljWKQ)

Similar in a lot of ways to "Shop Around," it begins with a little intro (this time based on Ravel's Bolero) and then goes into a song which again gives advice (this time from Smokey himself rather than his mother.)  Smokey and the Miracles have done the call and response thing before, but on this track they sound a lot better than ever before.  Motown had used strings before; but always as an afterthought, on this one the song was scored with them.  The single isn't just a technical improvement for Motown, though; it's a really good song as well.  It's a little surprising that it only made it to #52 on the pop charts at the time, and remains largely unknown.

The B Side I Can't Believe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhNQeLuDarE) sounds like a slow dance song from a high school dance.  It's very pretty; but Smokey might not have been the right singer for it.  He didn't have much of a croon at this time.  Marvin Gaye might have been the perfect choice for it.

Of course if you do go through all the Motown singles one by one you'll run into things like:

Joel Sebastian - Angel in Blue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMqlAKtyMfs)

So this is different; Joel Sebastian delivers a spoken word story about a girl (who may be dead) and a boy in rhyme.  It's not a cappella, there's a guitar and a girl group backing him.  He does have a fine speaking voice, but his singing voice is awful as we discover on the B Side:  Blue Cinderella (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiR2w_Qwq9A) in which he sometimes sings tunelessly and sometimes speaks.

Joel Sebastian was a DJ in Detroit who played Motown records in the early years of the company.  Berry Gordy invited him to cut a record (oh why did we outlaw payola? :() .  The record obviously wasn't a hit (it was on the under-funded Miracle label) and Joel never recorded another track.  He left Detroit in 1966 to go to Chicago where he worked as a DJ on a variety of stations until his death in 1986.

Mary Wells - Strange Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9waaA6QzII)

This isn't what you would usually think of as either Motown or Mary Wells; it sounds like a straight out Etta James number.  It's actually very good, so much so that it made me wonder what would have happened if Wells had been on Chess rather than Motown (and not married Herman Griffin...)  Mary had a string of hits on the R&B charts before this one, and then this one failed to chart.  Motown's rule (more so a little later) is that if you had a flop you'd get a different writer for your next song.  Smokey Robinson would pen the rest of Wells hits during her Motown years; which is why she would sound more poppy later on.  She never failed to make at least the R&B charts for the rest of her stay at Motown.

The B Side Come to Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9C6Bfb8Fjc) is a remake of Motown's very first single by Marv Johnson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u01a0_yDZxE).  Wells really did have a great range; she handles this 1950s Jackie Wilson style R&B number well, but it's still a 1950s R&B number when Motown was starting to move far beyond that.  You can hear how far the band has come in just under three years on the two different versions.

Tito Puente - Dance Mania (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tv76y9R4Hw) (1957)

Still the best selling Latin dance album of all times; this is an amazing ride by El Rey de los Timbales.  It's all mambo with (unusual for the time) lyrics in Spanish.  The tempo is slightly slower than what Puente had at live shows, but it's still a blistering up tempo work.  Puente's music still has the power to convert the grouchiest of critics:

Freddie Gorman - The Day Will Come (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF-aOZTXnzM)

A nice little mid-tempo R&B number.  Gorman was a mailman and part time songwriter in Motown's early days.  He helped write, but wasn't given songwriting credit initially, on "Mr. Postman."  Allegedly this was his compensation; just like Joel Sebastian, it was put on the Miracle label.  Unlike Joel Sebastian, Freddie Gorman could sing, he's got a nice baritone, but, like everything else on Miracle, the record didn't chart.

The B side is a straight ahead 50s rocker called Just for you (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkXF1gDpCQk)

Gorman would go on to write some more songs for Motown (in fact the songwriting team was Holland-Dozier-Gorman before it was Holland-Dozier-Holland); but never had anything that brought in a lot of royalties.  He returned to his job as a postman before ending up on Ric-Tic and writing Just Like Romeo and Juliet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX1-e0w3mUw) for The Replacements.

Popcorn and the Mohawks - Have I the Right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhvC4UFbHd8)

Popcorn's third (and final until the 1970s) Motown single, once again in completely different genre than his previous work.  This is a bluesy juke-joint number.  While Popcorn did have a decent voice for jazz; blues doesn't seem to work out for him.  The B-side is a 50s era rocker Real Good Lovin' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB4UVHuWXMI).

Popcorn was a session musician (the original piano player for the Funk Brothers).  He could play in any genre; which might have been part of the problem, Motown didn't know what to do with him.  At least that seems like it could have been the problem, except Motown had another session musician with a similarly broad range that they were developing into a vocalist named Marvin Gaye...

The Satintones - Zing! Went the Strings of my Heart (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py4wS5SjkPc)

This is the end of the line for Motown's first male group, the Satintones.  The Marcels had just had a hit with an R&B version of a 30s standard Blue Moon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BziGPUGjhIE), so Berry Gordy decided he was going to update a different 30s era standard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuxyNym5zpk).  It doesn't start out well; the background singers (maybe deliberately) sing the lines about never being able to carry a tune out of tune; but once the bass man gets in there the song improves dramatically.  It's not another Blue Moon (even if they end with a dip-dip-dip-dip taken from Blue Moon), but it is enjoyable.  The B side Faded Letter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pacOL_dnl5c) is a thoroughly forgettable ballad.

Eddie Holland - Jamie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcgXK9DVRZY)

This was supposed to be the sixth song for Barrett Strong (Strong is one of the co-writers), but Barrett had left the company by then after a long series of flops.  This turned out to be a hit on the R&B charts; although it might not have if Barrett had sung it.  Eddie sounds like he's having fun here, and that seems to make the song work.

Eddie had released one of the first singles for Motown: Merry-Go-Round (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke8dzG1AD80).  He then had his contract sold to United Artists.  He then got dropped after a long string of flops and returned to Motown.

The B side Take a Chance On Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQZAy4_yLiU) (no, not related to the ABBA song) was co-written by Eddie's little brother Brian.  This is starting to sound more like the Holland-Dozier-Holland songs.  It's a little too strange to have been a hit; but its still interesting.

I listened to a collection of hymns by Saint Yared (6th Century AD.)  He created his own musical notation that was preserved by the Ethiopian Coptic Church so his work still survives.  To my ears his hymns sound remarkably like the Muslim call to prayer.

Mötley Crüe - Shout at the Devil (album)(1983)

Every bit as gleefully stupid and over the top as I remembered.  A lot of people who wrote stupid lyrics (The Ramones, Redd Kross, The Beastie Boys) did so intentionally there's a certain  ;) ;) characteristic to their music.  Mötley Crüe works because Nikki Sixx doesn't seem to realize what he's writing is monumentally stupid (and, as a bonus for them, neither did Tipper Gore.)  That would come back to bite them on their next album (Theater of Pain) when he tried to write political (Fight for your Rights) or sentimental (Home Sweet Home) in largely the same voice.  Here, though, where every song is about sex, violence and the devil; Nikki's vision is near perfect.

The Valadiers - Greetings (This is Uncle Sam) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYDWLGGHFDg) (1961)

The one and only hit for the Miracle label, making it all the way to 89 on the pop chart.  This isn't a bad song in concept; a dark comedy about a young man who's just been drafted all in doo-wop; but The Valadiers simply sing so poorly that it just doesn't work.  The B Side Take A Chance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC6kwgnju04) (not related to either the ABBA song nor the Eddie Holland song listed above) shows they could sing.  How the single got past quality control even in those early days of Motown is a mystery.

ABBA - The Definitive Collection

Sugary enough to put even the healthiest person into insulin shock; this a collection of all ABBA singles listed in release order from 1972-1982.  It's interesting to see how in the first several singles Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus sing lead in at least part of the song; they were never going to leave Sweden until they stopped doing that.  Once they had only  Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad sing lead it seemed like they couldn't fail.  Every song is a undeniably catchy, some more musically sophisticated than others, and all with bubblegum lyrics.  The last few songs (from the album "The Visitors") all sound remarkably burnt out; but the last days of disco had already passed by then.  It's probably best that they didn't try to soldier on after that.

AC/DC - Back in Black

AC/DC's sendoff and tribute to Bon Scott is the most incredible wake of all times; a tribute to partying hard, drinking hard, living fast and dying young.  AC/DC would go on to make this same album ten more times; but they never did it as well as this time through.

Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!

The boys in the plastic yellow suits had honed their sound for several years before they were discovered, some of the best of their earlier songs are here.  Although Devo thought Brian Eno changed too much, he gave them a sense of structure that they could follow (or not) for years.

This is the Boys from Akron in their Guitar phase, and it really was a game changer back in 1978.

AC/DC - Highway to Hell (1979)

Well that turned out to be a prophetic title...

While I prefer Back in Black; this is still an incredible album.  Scott brought a (usually disturbed, frequently juvenile) sense of humor to the songs that went missing on their later albums.  While its tempting to speculate on what might have happened had their been more Scott albums; that was probably an unlikely scenario (at least without a serious stint in rehab.)

Power ballad in the classic big-stadium-sound of the 1970s, perhaps; but you can toss in Boston and Led Zeppelin and all the rest of the redneck beer rock of the Carter Administration in there as well.

But as far as heavy metal power ballads that every big hair metal act of the 1980s and well into the 1990s felt legally obligated to cut--from Poison and Ozzy and Lita Ford all the way, and yes I'm ashamed to say, to GnR--then Home Sweet Home was the archetypal work.

Heh...Shot Down in Flames and Girl's Got Rhythm are some of my all-time faves; while not as wide-ranging as High Voltage, Highway to Hell is an incredibly consistent and sustained example of the risque playfulness of the Scott Era--although I would choose Let There Be Rock in a desert-island scenario, but that's more of personal choice thing, what with Whole Lotta Rosie being their single greatest work.

In high school, I had a cassette case holder in the console of my '76 Plymouth that had enough room for every one of AC/DC's releases up to that time, and I kept them in order according to release date.   :lol:  To this day, still the band I've seen the most times in concert.

Mozart The Last Five Symphonies as performed by the Academy of Ancient Music

It's something to consider that when Mozart was my age he had been dead 8 years.

(Yes, I stole that from Tom Lehrer.  It was a lot funnier when I was 18 and first heard it.)

Simply magnificent, light and cheerful with the occasional trap door thrown in.  Beethoven will always be (rightly) remembered as the genius of the symphony, but Mozart had the magic touch.

Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic (1975)

Run DMC has said that they used to rap over the beats in this record, long before their version of "Walk This Way."  They thought the name of the band was "Toys in the Attic."

The influences here are more obvious than they would be on "Rocks," (and everything they didn't steal from from The Rolling Stones they cribbed from Led Zeppelin.)  I think this works to their favor; they're not trying to be Robert Johnson, their trying to be Robert Plant.  Their version of hard rocking blues, therefore, becomes much more fun and much more joyously sleazy than their influences.

Air - Premiers Symptômes

This is a collection of Air's early singles released as an EP; while not as good as Moon Safari it's still worthwhile.

I once saw Air at a club in Pontiac, Michigan.  As we were waiting for the show to begin there was a street preacher proselytizing at us; only he was pacing back and forth the length of the line from across the street, so it was impossible to hear more than a few words of what he was saying.  I had gone with my brother and some of his friends.  One in our group had smuggled recording equipment into the show.  He must have looked suspicious when he was fiddling about with it, since a total stranger came up and asked him "Do you got the trees man?"

:P

Seriously, "I like Shout at the Devil" and "Too Fast for Love", but during "Theater of Pain" someone should have taken Nikki aside and told him "Write more stupid songs, that's what you're good at."

Edit:  Which isn't to say there are no stupid lyrics on "Theater of Pain," "Tonight" might be Nikki Sixx's chef d'oeuvre:

Stand tall and ring the bell
The final stroke send you to hell
Take your body like a hammer and a nail
The taste of love, it might be yours
Slide down my knees taste my sword
Can you feel the power inside tonight?

However it's nowhere near as consistent as "Shout at the Devil."

I saw Ash on the Area 2 tour.  They never made it big in the United States (I think they were quite successful in the UK).  It's too bad, since they sound like what I imagine the Smashing Pumpkins would have sounded like if the Pumpkins weren't led by a crazy person.  This is a good album, it's big guitar alt-rock was probably about five years behind the times when it was released; but today it sounds pretty cool.

I recently learned that "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aLNwOxPsjg) was written and first performed (as a demo) by Robert Hazard.

:o

Even though there are only a couple lyric changes (and an additional verse), his version comes across quite differently.  The definition of "Fun" for instance is a lot more specific.  With the lo-fi guitars it sounds a lot like something Liz Phair would have done.

Watching the the video for Cyndi Lauper's version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6AZdTr-A) I pick up a lot more references than I did in the 80s.  The opening piano comes from Cyndi's version of the Helen Kane song "He's So Unusual."  The clip is from the Lon Chaney version of Hunchback of Notre Dame.  The couple dancing forehead to forehead comes from "Flying Down to Rio."  The overflowing room is taken from "Night at the Opera."  The snake dance (probably) comes from 8 1/2 (though that's too contemporary for me to say for sure.  ;))

Robert Hazard had a couple minor hits in the 80s, probably best known is Escalator of Life, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIT2DpdcPzI) which has an incredibly 80s video.

Arnold Schoenberg - Transfigured Night

So Schoenberg was so infatuated with a woman he met (and would eventually marry) that he wrote a work based on a poem about a woman confessing to her lover that she's carrying another man's child.

:huh:

Maybe that was prophetic, his first wife did abandon him for a painter.  In any event this is probably Schoenberg's best know tonal work.  I don't care much for the sung poem at the end, but the instrumental movements are well done.

Because of our Duran Duran discussion I browsed some of their play list.

Can anyone think of a song that combines a catchier chorus and more worthless verses than The Reflex?

Astor Piazzolla ‎– Live Lugano 13 Ottobre 1983

Tangotastic!  This is the best collection of Piazzolla's work that I have encountered.  The album opens with his best known work Adios Nonino (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTPec8z5vdY); but he has so many more great tangos.  (Though, alas, not the one that is in every Police Academy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdbt-sx5MDc) movie.)

Audioslave - Audioslave

This sounds like what would happen if Rage Against the Machine got the guy from Soundgarden to sing lead for them.

;)

This album has it's moments (notably Conchise) but they sound too much like an awkward mixture of their two groups than a new band.  Their next albums would improve.

Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill (1995)

Given that Alanis is not exactly the most gifted of singers and that the album is essentially the diary of a 19 year old girl set to 90's alt-rock guitars; it's surprising that this album is so good.  Perhaps it's because, due to her youth, she sounds sincere on all the songs.  When anger is called for she really, really angry; hell hath no fury angry; but even on the love songs she sounds credible.

George Clinton first called his band The Parliaments.  I heard there first single; (I Wanna) Testify (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPWo2WxwRno), it sounds somewhat similar to The Temptations (I know) I'm losing you.  It was not at all what I expected any George Clinton single to sound like.

I've developed a taste for retro wave, synth wave, or whatever you call bands/performers like - Perturbator, Dynatron, Carpenter Brut, Dance With the Dead, Lazerhawk, etc. In general they strive to emulate an 80s synth sound reminiscent of what you might see in bad action or sci-fi flicks.

I came across Gunship's Tech Noir today. Normally not a fan of retro wave with vocals, but I really liked this one, which was probably not in small part due to John Carpenter's opening narration (see my signature):

It's mostly a bad claymation video of 80s action heroes (and a care bear) violently slaughtering guys in a wasteland to save a chick.

Still a nice song, though.

Spotify's new daily mixes is a nifty feature.

edit: to elucidate, unlike pandora that picks songs based on up-voting or my experience with apple where it just gave you things others liked, spotify seems to create mixes based on a few things:
1) tracks you've listened to
2) artists you've listened to (so other tracks by those artists)
3) similar artists to one's you've listened to.

Ends of creating mixes of songs that seem to work fairly well as it has a good underpinning of things you've listened to at some point. I wonder if it also takes into account tracks that you've skipped. :hmm:

Our instructor, when I was in Seattle, said that Queensrÿche had played at his high school.  I had two younger co-workers with me who both said "Who?" :huh:  My boss, who has never left the 90s1, said explained that "They had that one big hit."  At first I thought he meant either Eyes of a Stranger (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4duZjxusGM) or I Don't Believe in Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c3g6tTYoxM).  As it turns out he meant Silent Lucidity. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhat-xUQ6dw)   <_<

Even though its vision of a dystopian future is dated; in my opinion Operation Mindcrime (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTqv59JXMUk) is the one hair metal album that has stood the test of time.

Yes, I realize that now; but remembering Queensrÿche solely for their biggest hit "Silent Lucidity" is like remembering Chuck Berry solely for his only number one hit, My Ding-a-Ling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaEC-lWSlmI).

Living Color - Cult of Personality

This served as entrance theme for wrestler CM Punk. He had mediocre in ring skills, but he was great on the microphone, often breaking character and blurring the lines between fiction and reality, sometimes going very meta (in hindsight he used it to air his grievances with the WWE as an organization, and there's no love lost between them - he was fired on the day of his wedding). In that respect the song was a well fitting tune, commenting on the relationship between performer and audience.

QuoteLook in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I've been everything you want to be
I'm the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights, a Nobel Prize
Then a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your T.V.
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I'm the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality
Neon lights a Nobel Prize
A leader speaks, that leader dies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your own god's name
I'm every person you need to be
Oh, I'm the cult of personality
I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of
I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of, I'm the cult of personality

Swedes that do retro 70s rock. The album is loosely sci-fi themed, and wonderfully nostalgic. Retro bands are a dime a dozen, and their earlier albums aren't quite as good, but this one is rather fantastic (if you like that 70s rock with some early synthesizers thrown in).

Follow-up:

Geoff Tate's thoughts on it:

Quote"What happened was that the marketing mentality came into the business. They started breaking everything down and putting music in boxes. At that point, writers began placing us in the same box as Mötley Crüe. It wasn't about the music — it was a selling technique.

"To be compared to Mötley Crüe... I took it as kind of an insult, frankly."

The Beatles - Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

When I was in high school my dad got the cassette version of this.  I guess it wasn't as good as he remembered, because he shelved it pretty quickly.  I "Borrowed" it quite soon after that and listened to it extensively.  (This was in the midst of the hair metal era; when Mötley Crüe was the prestige band, and my friends were listening to bands like Poison and Warrant.)  The only Beatles I had heard before that were their "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah," "Yesterday" and "Yellow Submarine."  This was so different, and so much better that I spent what little money I had from working at McDonald's getting all their later records.

I can't be as excited about music as I could when I was 16 anymore; but I still love this album and think it's one of the best ever made.

Asia and King Crimson star John Wetton dies aged 67
31 January 2017


Asia star John Wetton has died aged 67 after a battle with colon cancer, his bandmate Carl Palmer has said.

According to a brief statement released by the band, Wetton passed away in his sleep on Tuesday morning.

Wetton played bass and sang in King Crimson, Uriah Heep and Roxy Music before fronting supergroup Asia.

Palmer said on Facebook: "With the passing of my good friend and musical collaborator, John Wetton, the world loses yet another musical giant."
'Brave and innovative'

He said that Wetton - who co-wrote and performed on Asia's debut hit in 1982, Heat Of The Moment, as well other tracks including Only Time Will Tell - had been a "gentle person".

"As a musician, he was both brave and innovative, with a voice that took the music of Asia to the top of the charts around the world," he said.

Mable John - Take Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJjZ9bcwt0) (1961)

A big, bluesy, ballad that really doesn't seem like Mabel's thing.  This one might have worked a little better if the Miracles had performed it the way Smokey tends to dra-a-a-ag, drag out the chorus.  As it is, it's just not that interesting.

The B Side Take Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJjZ9bcwt0) is a better side co-written by Andre Williams (singer of such novelty songs as Bacon Fat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0kr0IFsM6E)).  The song goes from blues to gospel to (William's specialty) spoken word drawl.

This would be John's last single on Motown.  She stayed around as a background singer for a couple years and eventually would become a Raelette (one of Ray Charles's backup singers.)

Bo Diddley - Who Do You Love? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w9Eii9ZFsQ)

While the lyrics are obviously nonsense; they sound bad ass throughout most of the song.  Then he gets to the part which goes:

Night was dark, when the sky was blue,
Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew,
Hit a bump, and somebody screamed,
You shoulda heard just what I seen.

Which veers into "Oh Susanna" territory.

Hank Mobley is under-rated I think.  He doesn't have as strong a signature sound as some of the bigger names.  The body of work is really impressive though - probably the best Jazz Messengers recordings that don't involve Wayne Shorter and his stuff as leader is top notch.  Soul Station is a great album, with two other under-rated guys from that period, Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers.

Sammy Ward - What Makes You Love Him (Version 2) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSlIQ-AxKTQ)

The First Version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga7ixxyuV_8) was pulled and replaced with "Who's the Fool," which became one of Motown's first R&B hits.  This version is a lot better with added background singers, a masterful guitar solo and Sammy building up from a calm lament to wild James Brown style screams at the end.  The B-side Don't Take it Away (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9G0iMe6HjE) is more raucous with (of all things) a raucous ondioline (only Motown); it's not very good.

Never really got into Living Color but Vernon Reid can play.  He got in start in the NYC avant jazz fusion scene long ago - did an album with Bill Frisell that was basically the two of them jamming lines in every conceivable genre of music imaginable on various guitar and guitar like instruments (acoustic, electric, synth, banjo, think there was a mandolin in there somewhere), with some tracks featuring liberal use of a dx drum machine.  Magnificently weird album - a true 80s artifact.

The whole Vivid/Vernon Reid thing got me thinking about Ronald Shannon Jackson, and from there to guitarist Sonny Sharrock, like Reid an alumnus of the Decoding Society

Sonny Sharrock - Guitar (guitar duet with himself through magic of overdubbing)
Sonny Sharrock - Ask the Ages (star lineup including former Coltrane bandmates Elvin Jones and Pharoah Sanders)

First track on Ask the Ages has some trademark shrieking sax from Sanders, but much of the rest of the material is pretty approachable for rock/blues fans.

Quote

Ticket to the Moon
Electric Light Orchestra

Remember the good old 1980's,
When things were so uncomplicated,
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.

I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise, in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know.

Ticket to the moon
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright.

Flying high above,
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come,
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here,
Could turn around and I would see you there,
Standing there

Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from Satellite 2
As the minutes go by, what shall I do,
I paid the fare, what more can I say,
It's just one way.

Ticket to the moon.

A lot of their sets are selling out and it is unclear whether they will fill all backorders.  I just sucked it up and put in a big order for everything still on my wishlist.  May have been too late on the Ahmad Jamal one, which went into backorder between the time I entered the order and it was processed.

Most recently listening to the Henry Threadgill set and the Basie/Lester Young set. 

The Basie-Young stuff is commonly available but the quality of the sound on the Mosaic set is pretty incredible.  Much better than any other version I've heard.

Ella Fitzgerald - The Cole Porter Songbook

I didn't know several of these songs and some I didn't realize were Cole Porter songs.

While he certainly did not have the voice Ella did, I do like Cole Porter's versions of his own songs the best.  (Also I think Gershwin's songs sound best on just piano or with piano and voice.)

Ray Charles :cool: - The Genius of Ray Charles  :cool:

Perhaps not the most humble title for an album (though nowhere near as obnoxious as Ravi Shankar's "Portrait of a Genius"); but still this is great.  The first half of the album is standards (where he's backed by members of both the Count Basie and Duke Ellington orchestras.)  The second half is ballads where he's backed by strings.

Woody Shaw, Rosewood

The album won 2 grammys back in 1978, notwithstanding that fact it's actually very good.  I only knew Shaw from the Dexter Gordon homecoming album - but he really was a great player and leader in his own right, had the ill timing to peak during the 70s which was a confused time in the jazz world.  Died tragically a decade later from a freak subway accident.

Hey Syt or whoever, are there any good Viking Metal bands that don't growl? I kind of like Månegarm's song Blodörn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0SPCd2TBJk), which is kind of as growly as I can take it. So preferably less growly than that.

Seems to me that it's either growl or acoustic folksy style in Viking bands. Sad!

For instance Amon Amarth's Twilight Of The Thunder God is a nice song, but the growling makes it unlistenable to me. Sabaton's cover makes it more palatable, but still...

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra had an on-line concert which featured Stravinsky's Circus Polka (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOr_H3JqdDs).  This was actually commissioned by Ringling Brother's Circus and they had their elephants dance to it.  At the time (1942) the circus was of such prominence that Roosevelt had given them special permission for extra fuel so that they could run their trains during the war.

They also had a Violin Concerto by Wynton Marsalis (no, I didn't know he composed for the violin either.)  It wasn't bad, sort of a cross between Charles Ives, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin.

I once saw Wynton play the music of Louis Armstrong; that was incredible.  It was the only Armstrong revival I've ever been to that didn't try to make his music sound like middle of the road music for old people.

Wynton is only on one or two tracks, Bill Evans is on the rest; Evans is key to the sound.  Cobb was there b/c of Philly Joe Jones' drug problems, but was perfect match for those sessions.

Fun thing: listen to "So What" on that album and then listen to the version on the Four and More live date from ~1964. Radical change in tempo and interaction with the rhythm section.

First installment of the Mosaic Records haul: Dial Modern Jazz sessions.  All from the late 1940s.  About half is Charlie Parker, including the sessions with a teenaged Miles Davis.  Lots of other goodies though including early Dexter Gordon, Erroll Garner, a terrific trio recording from Dodo Marmorosa, and a rare leader session from Sonny Berman.

The people on these recordings had a high casualty rate.  Berman died a few months later in his early 20s (OD), Parker died at 34 (chronic drug abuse), Wardell Gray also died at in 34 in Vegas (either drug-related or whacked by the Mob), Miles Davis lost several productive years to heroin, Gordon and Howard McGhee lost most the 1950s to heroin, Bud Powell died at 42 and lost most of his career to drugs and assorted other problems, Dodo Marmorosa was mentally instable and never recovered from involuntary electroshock courtesy of the US Army.   But all of them were at their peak when these recordings were made.

He was found out in the desert in Vegas with a broken neck.  The story was that he ODed on heroin, fell and broke his neck - the musicians he was with panicked, drove a few miles out to the desert and dumped his body there. 

There has always been speculation about more sinister causes - someone even wrote a novel about it: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Tenor-Man-Bill-Moody/dp/096441385X

The greatest cowboy album from the golden age of cowboy albums; this one manages to combine traditional folk songs with then contemporary compositions almost seamlessly.  The show stoppers are all Robbins own compositions (Big Iron, El Paso, The Masters Call, and (from the reissue) Saddle Tramp.)

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out (1959)

Revolutionary at the time of its release, due to all the weird time signatures, today it sounds like coffee house jazz (especially the over-played "Take Five.")  It is a victim of its own success, due to its many imitators; but really the album is very good.

I once saw Dave Brubeck perform at Orchestra Hall in Detroit.  He was well into his eighties by that time (as was most of the audience) but he still put on a great show.   :cool:

The Everly Brothers - A Date With the Everly Brothers (1960)

"Cathy's Clown" is the big hit off of this one; though they do the original version of "Love Hurts" (yes, the same one as the Nazareth song) and not a bad version of Little Richard's Lucille.

The reviewer on Allmusic.com compared it unfavorably with their first album "It's Everly Time."  I listened to that and that was really cool.  It's got a stripped down sound, sort of like The Everly Brothers record at Sun Studios.  There's no big hit on that album ("So Sad" was the only single) but every song is good.

My own 2c is that the critics have a point - at it's best, prog was still a somewhat watered down version of jazz-rock fusion or classical-rock fusion, what's the point?  Then again, rock itself is subject to the same critique as watered down rhythm and blues: the "authenticity" of the Stones exists by virtue of their ripping off Bo Diddley.  Also article made a good point in the wake of the recent Beatles hagiographies of the clear linkage of the (always cool) Beatles from Rubber Soul on to (uncool) prog.

To my mind, rock critics blathering about "authenticity" and "coolness" is just that. No modern music is truly "authentic".

Dismissing Rush as "fascists" is of course hilarious in its stupidity, as pointed out in the article.  :lol:

Joan Baez - Joan Baez (1960)

I'm not a huge fan of Joan Baez; I think most of her hits were done better by other people (yes, even Diamonds and Rust (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLDazyvMMGw)).  This album might have the sole exception "Silver Dagger."  This album was the zeitgeist; the folk revival was becoming the music of college students.  Joan recorded this at age 19 and it sounds like she did it at a coffee house.

Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1960)

I was listening to this and thinking, "Isn't Bill Evans a pianist?. :unsure:  Why are they focusing on the bass?" It turns out the bassist (Scott LaFaro) died shortly after this was recorded and Evans chose tracks in tribute to his friend.  If you're a bassist this is a must own; even if not this is a really good jazz album.

And on the subject of albums that sound like they were recorded at the coffee house:

Ramblin' Jack Elliot - Jack Takes the Floor (1958)

Jack was something of a character; the son of Jewish doctor from New York City, he ran away from home at 15 in order to join the rodeo :alberta:.  His parents found him and dragged him back home after a few months.  Eventually he adopted a vaguely western accent, became Woody Guthrie's partner (Woody Guthrie sings "New York Town" with him on this album), and became a singin' cowboy from New York City.  This album is a mix of folk, country and storytelling.  It's definitely lo-fi and sounds like it was done in one take; but still well worth a listen.

Lee Morgan - also in that Blakey band.  Also his Sidewinder album and his sidemen sessions with Hank Mobley.
Stanley Turrentine- pretty much any 60s era Blue Note album.  For a sample, listen to "Trouble", 1st track off the Never Let Me Go album.
Hank Mobley's early 60s blue note albums, e.g. Soul Station
Horace Silver - Blowin' the Blues Away, Song for My Father, Jody Grind, others.

Heard "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club'", that was a good album.  I had heard the song "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" before, but had no idea what it was called or who did it.  I'll try to get to the other ones later.

Shirley Scott was heavily influenced by Jimmy Smith and took up the Hammond organ in the late 50s.  She got married to Stanley Turrentine and the played on each others' albums throughout the 1960s.  Their names aren't as big now as Cannonball or Art Blakey, but the material is very good - to my mind they personify that early 60s soul sound, even though the Blakey and Mobley groups were a bit stronger in overall personnel.

Re King Crimson - recent New Yorker article on prog rock:  http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/06/19/the-persistence-of-prog-rock
My own 2c is that the critics have a point - at it's best, prog was still a somewhat watered down version of jazz-rock fusion or classical-rock fusion, what's the point?  Then again, rock itself is subject to the same critique as watered down rhythm and blues: the "authenticity" of the Stones exists by virtue of their ripping off Bo Diddley.  Also article made a good point in the wake of the recent Beatles hagiographies of the clear linkage of the (always cool) Beatles from Rubber Soul on to (uncool) prog.

Well a good chunk of Bruford's solo work and later albums are squarely in jazz-rock /fusion territory, and rather good; maybe prog was the gateway drug for him?  :P


Also, the article mentions Gentle Giant as under appreciated and some of their output is worth checking out. A plus is I don't think they did many, if any concept albums and most songs were recognisable as such and the albums generally had eight to ten of them.

This is the best sentence in that article:

Listeners who wonder what they have been missing should probably ignore E.L.P. entirely and head straight for "Close to the Edge"—or, if they want something a bit more bruising, "Red," an austere album that a new version of King Crimson (including Bruford) released in 1974

I've been listening to some really really early Stan Getz.  From the Savoy records collections, starting with a 1945 session with Kai Winding when Getz was 18, to a precocious leader session at age 19 with Hank Jones and Max Roach, to an octet session in 1949.  The evolution is interesting - on the first recording he sounds like a very good Lester Young imitator, on the second recording he is doing a hot Charlie Parker impression but on tenor.  Only by the last recording do you start to hear the familiar Stan Getz sound.

He's actually only the second best white tenor player on that collection.  Allen Eager, who I never heard before, has some really great performances.  He was one of the few white musicians at the time regularly in demand by black-led groups.  Apparently he left music in the early 50s because it was the only way he could keep off heroin.

His Wikipedia blurb reads:

Allen Eager (January 10, 1927 – April 13, 2003) was an American jazz tenor and alto saxophonist who also competed in auto racing and took part in LSD experiments.

He's the single coolest person who has ever lived.   :cool:

I'd never heard of him either (though I have read Kerouac's "The Subterraneans" which, though I didn't know it at the time, has a character "Based" on him).  He was an incredible performer.

Complete Blue Note Sessions - Horace Parlan

Horace Parlan suffered from polio as a child, as a result he lost the ability to use two middle fingers on his right hand.  So of course he became a professional piano player . . .

Parlan developed a bluesy, rhythmic and parsimonious style,  similar to Horace Silver but more percussive (and with shades of Monk's harmonics).  He made a name playing on a couple high profile Mingus albums, most notably Mingus Ah Um.  He and Mingus often switched roles, Mingus playing melodic lines on bass over Parlan's rhythmic vamps.    Parlan parlayed that gig intomultiple recording sessions as leader for Blue Note records, which popularized the hard bop and soul jazz sound in the late 50s and early 60s.

Lots of good stuff of this collection, which is streamable for now on the big services.  My favorites are a trio session with Ray Baretto added on congas (Headin' South, Low Down, Congalegre) and "Up and Down" a quintet session with fellow Mingus alum Booker Ervin (Fugee).  Also some notable appearances by Blue Note regular Stanley Turrentine.

I learned from The Reverend Billy Wurlitzer that The Step (the transition between Barrel House and Ragtime) was developed in logging camps because it was a style of music that could be played by people missing fingers.  (Like many other things, that's a fact I'd hate to ruin by research.)

Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963)

Light years ahead of his first album (Bob Dylan), this contains some of his best songs (Blowin' in the Wind, Girl from the North Country, Masters of War, A Hard Rain's a Gonna Fall, and Don't Think Twice, It's All Right.)  Political, sentimental, funny, romantic, sometimes all in the same song, Bob Dylan was already a complete artist at 21 (and would spend the rest of his life trying to live up to that reputation).  The only downside to the album is that he's still trying to sound like Woody Guthrie; he's the only person whose singing has improved by trying to sound like Bob Dylan.

Every once in a while I try to to listen to some part of Bob Dylan's catalogue, but I have a tough time getting through more than an album at a time.  Probably the artist with the biggest disparity in talent between singer and songwriter.  Maybe Leonard Cohen was close, but I think he understood the limitations of his voice better and made it work for him.

Check out Bertolt Brecht singing Die Moritat von Mackie Messer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QXJ3OXWaOY) (Mack the Knife.) 

;)

David Crosby said that he couldn't stand Dylan's voice and didn't get why the rest of the band was so eager to record "Mr. Tambourine Man" the first several times he heard it.  I thought that was funny with the number of hits The Byrds had with Dylan's songs.  Personally I don't mind his voice once he went electric (Bringing It All Back Home), prior to that, though, (and especially on the first two albums) he can sound like he's trying a little too hard to be Woody Guthrie.

Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Square Club 1963

Released in 1985, Sam's vocals are surprisingly rough; not Otis Redding rough, but much rougher than the singles.  The music is a lot more prominent on this as well, with the occasional solo or sax break.  I can hear how Rod Stewart got his inspiration for his cover of "Having a Party" on this. 

This is a really good live album; Sam's charisma shines through and it really sounds like the audience is really having a good time on this.

Don Pullen - Tomorrow's Promises

Mingus connection here - Pianist Pullen and tenorman George Adams were in the late-era Mingus band before going off on their own.  After Mingus's death they would be joined by drummer and Mingus alter-ego Dannie Richmond.

This is a good intro to Pullen's work with a bunch of different lineups and sounds: two jazz-funk tracks, a ballad with some electronic effects, a Latin tinged piece, a free improvised duo with Adams, and a torch song with vocals.  Often present on this album Pullen's trademark of dense glissando runs produced by rolling over the keyboard with the back of the hand, and where he somehow manages to keep in contact with the melodic line.

I've been going back through Miles Davis' fusion period (1968-1975) - starting with:

In a Silent Way -

This is basically a jazz album with electric instrumentation and some biting blues licks by guitarist extraordinaire John McLaughlin.  Davis' second great (acoustic) quintet minus bassist Ron Carter is the core here, and there is a clear evolutionary connection to those late Second Quintet performances.  The album divided critics on the jazz side at the time, but now is almost universally praised, and for good reason.  Miles is in top form compositionally, as a leader and a player, and as with the best Second Quintet albums, there is an engaging tension between his cool restraint and Tony Williams' bubbling propulsive energy on drums.  The overall personnel lineup is as strong as it ever would be - every participant is a major musical figure and historically one of the top guys on his instrument.  The whole thing fit onto a single 12" LP and at under 40 minutes in total length, puts less demand on listener endurance than the later fusion recordings.

Bitches Brew -

Decades later, this one is still impossible to categorize.  It is sort of a bluesy, electrified Ornette Coleman-style free improvisation - you can hear Miles calling out cues orally (or example about 7 minutes into the title track he whispers "John" at which point McLaughlin peels off some riffs). But there are also clear compositional elements throughout that form the structure here.  The loss of Tony Williams on drums is compensated by using 3 or 4 percussionists throughout. 

It 's an extraordinary album IMO, probably the best argument against the view that this entire period was a creative dead-end.  Less approachable than Silent Way or Jack Johnson but rewards multiple plays.

Next one is: Tribute to Jack Johnson

If Silent Way and Bitches Brew are jazz sessions with rock instrumentation and sensibilities, Jack Johnson is more of a blues/funk-rock jam session with some jazz-like improv.  It got favorable reviews at the time and has always been a critical favorite, particularly with critics from the rock side.  It is a good record - more approachable and coherent than Bitches Brew, but it lacks the ambition of the earlier recording.

Miles Davis - On the Corner (1972)

This was his musical Waterloo.  Davis, seeking to boost his standing with young Black audiences, tried to make a funk record in the mode of early 70s James Brown or George Clinton.  There are some good grooves scattered about, but overall it just doesn't work.  Miles Davis may have been the most talented, protean musician of the 20th century but he wasn't James Brown.  And paying the likes of Herbie Hancock to bang out single chord grooves for 20 minute stretches wasn't a good use of personnel.  The album didn't succeed commercially, didn't reach the desired audience, and was critically panned.  Miles' career never totally recovered - this was his last real studio album in the 70s. 

Over the years, On the Corner has developed somewhat of a cult following, and its not hard to find very high praise for the album.  But most of the interest is not so much in the music itself as the innovative production and post-production techniques - the album was basically spliced and diced together by Miles and Teo Macero and features tape loops and effects that would be influential in shaping the direction of other kinds of music in the decades to come (e.g. Hip hop, house, electronica).

Agharta (1975)

What if Miles Davis cut an album with Jimi Hendrix?  Back in 69-70, the two jammed together a bit and plans were in the works, but derailed by Hendrix's untimely death.  Miles later hired cult guitar legend Pete Cosey, who played a Hendrix influenced style with even more noise and distortion.  Agharta (along with its twinned release Pangaea) is the last in a series of live albums featuring this sound, and to my ears the most successful.  This is true fusion between jazz, hard rock and funk - the music is dark, dense and rich, and mostly improvised on the spot following Miles' oral cues.  By the time of this date, this band had been playing together for a few years, and it's impressive how they pull off changes in rhythm and time signature on fly.

It can be fatiguing to listen to, though.  -- a problem with this whole period.  I can get through In a Slilent Way at a single sitting no problem.  Bitches Brew - 1 CD at a time.  With Agharta I find myself needing a break between each track to reset.

Overall for this period I tend on the side of those who see it as an artistic cul-de-sac for Davis, but there is some stuff worth listening to.

Solomon Burke - Rock 'n' Soul (1964)

Burke coined the term "Soul Music" because he was a churchman, and members of his community thought that "Rhythm and Blues" music was profane.  He ran the term "Soul Music" by them first and they were okay with that.

This album is all over the map, Jazz, R&B, Gospel, Rock and Roll, and country all mix together into a fine Soul album.  Burke's singing varies between smooth and rough; never quite Sam Cooke or Otis Redding, but spanning a larger range than either of them individually.

Burke was a character, serial entrepreneur, serial philanderer, preacher, singer, and had himself crowned "King of Rock and Soul" at a show in 1964.  He's largely overlooked today, but this album is worth listening to.

Dusty Springfield - A Girl Called Dusty (1964)

For the album "Young Americans" David Bowie got a group of Philadelphia soul musicians to back him.  If Martha Reeves had gotten a bunch of London studio musicians to back her it probably would have sounded a lot like this.

;)

Dusty is great on this.  She's not quite as soulful as she would become, but she still has plenty of blue eyed soul power.  The band is competent, even if they couldn't turn goat-piss into milk.  The backup singers often leave something to be desired.  Everything on the album is at least worthwhile, except her cover of Ray Charles's (:cool:) "Don't You Know."  Covering that wasn't one of Dusty's better decisions; and trying to sound like The Genius was really was an even worse one.

Modern Jazz Quartet - Last Concert

Change of pace from the Miles electric stuff.  The knock on MJQ is that they were too mannered and buttoned-up, and I do find their work in the studio to be over-controlled.  The live stuff really shines though . . . This wasn't really the last concert - the group reformed in the 80s for some time, but this date probably was their peak.

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Listened to this one b/c it has Connie Kay (of MJQ) as drummer.  But the real star is Richard Davis - who was THE session bassist of the 60s (credits include Eric Dophy's Out to Lunch, most the Andrew Hill Blue notes, Roland Kirk's Rip Roar and Panic, Clifford Jordan's In the World among many others).  The album is blues-tinged bootstrapped folk-rock: it has the  sensibilities of folk without being part of any discernible folk tradition other than itself.  Basically it's an acoustic jam session from an all-star instrumentalist line-up over which Van Morrison sings his evocative if nonsensical lyrics (what exactly is an "Astral Week" anyways?).

Got me thinking - what are this generation's unique vocal talents?  Is there anyone that has a distinctive voice like Van Morrison, or Janis Joplin, or hell even like Mick Jagger?  Just saying certain names you can hear the voice without even referencing a particular song.  Maybe I'm just an Old but there doesn't seem to be that kind of vocal star anymore.  Is anyone going to remember what Ed Sheeran's voice sounds like 30 years from now?

Esbjoern Svensson Trio - Live in Hamburg

E.S.T. is the poster child for the ECM sound - genre-bending piano trio, Keith Jarrett influence, white, Euro, dreamy evocative sound, use of electronics.  Except I don't think they ever recorded with ECM (good thing as ECM doesn't stream).

As this is live, the band is bereft of their usual studio trickery, which has the positive effect of forcing reliance of one of their greatest strengths - the late Mr. Svensson could just flat out play piano.  There is still gamesmanship here though - on Defintion of a Dog, for example, a hard blues eventually deconstructs into an extended bout of metal-like distorted guitar riffs, until finally resolving back into something vaguely resembling an acoustic piano trio.

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home (1965)

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a young Bruce Springsteen heard the lines "You don't wanna be a bum/you better chew gum" and decided to start writing songs.

This album is a milestone.  Dylan went electric and thereby killed off the early 60s folk revival.  Rock and Roll moved from being children's music to the dominant popular music form among college students and ultimately adults.  Dylan began on the "Rock star" phase of his career; this and the next two albums (Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde) are, in my opinion, his best.

Even without all that, it's still a fantastic album.  Subterranean Homesick Blues and Mr. Tambourine Man alone would be enough to insure this album lives on.

Hank Mobley -  Blue Note 1950s Sessions (Mosaic)

Mobley is like the Rodney Dangerfield of jazz musicians.  He's perhaps most famous for being fired by Miles Davis.  The old Penguin Guide routinely damns him with faint praise, or worse, with comments like: "solidly reliable player,"  "despite frequent personal problems rarely gave less than his best," "rarely delivered a killer punch,"  "almost pallid in comparison."  His biggest shortcoming was to play tenor sax during a period when Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane were in their prime, and not to be either of those people.  Mobley had a beautiful tone, and could swing hard and fluently, but his virtues lie more in subtlety than virtuoso pyrotechnics.  Along with Art Blakey and Horace Silver he was the key player in developing the "hard bop" sound.  That sound is what many people think of now as "straight ahead" or even (erroneously) "trad" and in the present day it isn't fashionable among the hipsterish contemporary jazz crowd.  But there is a good reason that 60 years later, this music still stands as a benchmark - these are tight sessions by talented musicians who respected each other and took their craft seriously.

Most of this stuff is out of print, but (for now) streamable in Spotify under "Capital Vaults Jazz Series."  Or you can just go straight to his later early 60s work, even more impressive, in "Soul Station", "Workout" and "The Turnaround"

Otis Redding - Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul (1965)

I didn't know Issac Hayes was the pianist at Stax.

Booker T and the MGs + Otis Redding + Tom Dowd all at the peak of their careers; I don't think they could have made a bad record if they tried.  This album is great; it's mostly covers all done in in Otis's rough soulful style over the Stax groove.  The three songs Otis wrote (Ole Man Trouble, I've Been Loving You Too Long and Respect) are every bit as good as the covers. 

Tom Dowd thought Otis was going to be the next Bobby Darin or Ray Charles (:cool:).  I guess we never got to find out.   :(

CB and I watched a documentary last night about the making of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  I learned that the rise before the final chord in "A Day in the Life" was a type of Aleatoric Music; that is music based on chance.  The musicians were told to play the lowest note their instrument was capable of, then rise in pitch by selecting random notes over a set number of bars and end up on a note in an E-major chord.

The Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleatoric_music) on Aleatoric Music reads like a who's who of awful post-World War II avant garde music (Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Iannis Xenakis).  I'm impressed the Beatles got anything out of the movement.

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (1965)

My favorite jazz album, and one of my favorite albums.  Every time I listen to this I hear something new, and I can listen to it over and over again and never get bored.  It has an unusual quality to it that I find difficult to explain; sort of like a sense of completion - a musical catharsis, maybe.  By the time the album ends you feel like you've been somewhere and returned, or taken part in a ritual.

Stockhausen had very wide influence - not surprisingly, a lot of the free jazz guys were disciples (Cecil Taylor, Braxton, Zorn), but Miles Davis' electric period also took a lot from Stockhausen, and there are a bunch of lines of influence to late 60s and early 70s rock.

Well, Miles Davis and the Beatles were musical geniuses, and I'm not.   ;)

I've never heard anything by Stockhausen that I liked.  The one that I remember most is a piece where the pianist plays notes based on an atomic formula while sighing (or maybe he was playing notes at random while sighing based on an atomic formula); in any event his music is considerably more avant garde than I am.

It's a recurring cycle for performers in more popular genres to reach out to European chamber or concert music traditions, either for inspiration, legitimation or both. From Ellington doing long form compositional suites, to Charlie Parker with Springs to Procul Harum or  MJQ incorporating Bach and the prog rockers being influenced by Bartok.  I do think Bach and Baroque counterpoint are generally more adaptable for this, and at least commercially, more successful.

The Beach Boys - Today! (1965)

Brian Wilson had quit touring to focus on studio work.  The results are hit or miss; the album version of "Help Me Rhonda," for instance, badly misuses the fade (the better known single version would be on the next album Summer Days (and Summer Nights.))  On the other hand you can hear the sound that would would define Pet Sounds on "Please Let Me Wonder."  The songs are all about love, longing and wonder set from the perspective of an adolescent (Brian was 23 when he wrote this); no more songs about surfing and cars.

Audio quality is a bit shaky (heavy crackling on the old sides) but the price is right.

Good side by Allen Eager and Max Roach in there off a Savoy recording with Stan Getz on the other side.  Both still teenagers at the time.  Got both on CD though.

BB King - Live at the Regal  (1965)

If you only own one BB King record it should be this one; it's even better than his greatest hits.  I did once see BB perform, even in his late 70s he still was a great performer.  Here he was in his prime and the audience was really into it as well.

The Beatles - Rubber Soul (1965)

This is the Beatles first album after they had quit touring.  It's a big leap forward from "Help!" and a gigantic improvement over "Beatles for Sale."  The songs are more sophisticated, the lyrics darker (and occasionally don't deal with Boy/Girl relationships,) and there's a great deal more experimentation.

David Crosby said that he and his bandmates had no idea how to be rock stars; so they all went and watched "Hard Day's Night" together.  Given that, it's surprising to hear the obvious Byrd's influence on the album (especially on George Harrison's "If I needed Someone.")

Bert Jansch - Bert Jansch (1965)

Recorded in a kitchen on a borrowed guitar, the recording engineer sold it to Transatlantic records for £100, and they sold 150,000 copies. 

The album is supposed to be a big influence on Neil Young and Jimmy Page; it's much more obviously an influence on Nick Drake and Donovan.  The album contains one of Jansch's best known songs, The Needle of Death. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9C9tx-Bv3w)

Finished up Duke Ellington -1932-1940 Recordings

Everyone knows that the Beach Boys copied the music and basic structure for Surfin' USA from Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Sixteen.  But imagine my surprise when listening to an obscure Ellington recording of 1938 entitled Swingtime in Honolulu and right in the middle the tune is there.  So the Beach Boys were onto to something with the surf theme after all . . .

Ellington arguably is the most important figure in American music in the 20th century (and thus any century), these recordings are from the critical period where his compositions became more sophisticated and his band even more experienced and sure-footed.  A lot of this stuff is just 1930s era dance music played by a really good band.  Nothing wrong with that and there is novelty value and more in hearing a top rate band from the era play the likes of the Lambeth Walk  But this is a 11 CD collection . . . On the flip side there is about 3CDs worth of really incredible material, with "how the hell did he think of that" moments, music that truly is timeless.   The very first known recording "It Don't Mean a Thing (If it Ain't got the Swing)" starts with Ellingtonian growling and effects, and then suddenly Johnny Hodges leaps out with a wild rapid-fire solo like a proto-Charlie Parker; the first recorded version of Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue is on here also, with its unusual harmonics way ahead of its time.

All that said - the usual advice for novice Ellingtonians is to pass over all this and go directly to "Never no Lament"  - a smaller collection of the Ellington band right after this one from the early 1940s - it can be found on all the streaming services and on a budget priced CD box.  Pretty much agree with that, this earlier set is necessary just for obsessive completists.

British folk music was a big influence on Paul Simon (in fact one of the songs on "Bert Jansch," Davey Graham's "Angie," was also covered by Simon and Garfunkel.)  It's interesting to see the different direction the Pentangle took it.

Paul Simon used that as the basis for "Somewhere They Can't Find Me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-IY1g2LARs)" on "Sounds of Silence," but they also cover the instrumental (and spell it "Anji") on the same album.

Seriously, though, four Dylan covers (Mr. Tambourine Man, Spanish Harlem Incident, All I Really Want to Do, Chimes of Freedom) out of 12 songs; there's no doubt at all who this group's biggest influence was.  (All I really Want to Do and Mr. Tambourine Man would be the only singles from the album.)

Of course why listen to a Dylan cover band when you can listen to the real thing?1.

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (1965)

Released a few months before The Byrd's "Mr. Tambourine Man", and it made all their covers sound obsolete.  Rock, folk rock, garage rock and blues all come together with a surprisingly unified sound; complete with some of Dylan's most Dylanesque lyrics.

When my brother was in college he and a friend analyzed "Desolation Row" for a literature class.  They took TS Eliot to represent the straight laced British Man, while Ezra Pound was supposed to be the liberated American woman.  This was in the days before Wikipedia, and one of their friends had to tell them that, while this is insightful, it's probably not what the lyricist had intended.

The Byrds, Mr. Tambourine Man.

Evaluated as a Dylan Cover Band: Weak.  McGuinn does a Dylan imitation on the Dylan penned tracks.

Overall:  Pretty good. "We'll Meet Again" at the end was unexpectedly weird and fun for a straight ahead folk rock album.  I guess it would have to be since it helped establish the genre.

The Who - The Who Sing My Generation (1965) :punk:

With the exception of The Sonics, this rocks harder than anything in 1965.  The Who were still in transition between "Maximum R&B" and a hard rock band (there are 2 James Brown covers on the album), but you can clearly hear which side is going to win out; "The Ox" alone makes that obvious.  Some of the songs are forgettable, but this is still a great debut album.

Charles Lloyd - Passin' Through

Multi-reedist Lloyd turned 79 at this year and is at the peak of his career.   In the mid/late-60s, he led a quartet with a young Keith Jarrett on piano, doing Coltrane influenced material with spiritual pretensions and "Eastern" coloration.  The formula worked, Lloyd's group got invites to Monterey Pop, a crossover audience from psychedelic rock fans, and a platinum album.  By the early 70s though, Jarrett had moved on and Lloyd went into semi-retirement.  After experimenting with different formats in the 21st century, Lloyd formed a second quartet about 10 years ago, again featuring a talented young(ish) Jason Moran.  Some of his best work has been done with this work, including this just-released album a combo of some recent live performances. Lloyd and Moran mine the entire jazz tradition from Harlem stride to the present.  As one example Tagore on the Delta - recasts a New Agey, Lloyd composition from his mid-60s heyday with a nasty Delta blues bassline.  Good stuff.

The Beatles - Help! (1965)

After recently listening to "Rubber Soul" then this I see what a enormous advance "Rubber Soul" really was.  This is more a collection of songs than an album (probably a necessity given it's the soundtrack to a movie.)  Still there's some great songs here; Ticket to Ride, Help, and Yesterday.  There are a couple covers, one "Act Naturally" is one of my favorite Ringo songs.  The George songs (I Need You and I Like You Too Much) are alright; it's obvious he's still way out of his league.  (Admittedly being called out of the Lennon-McCartney league isn't much of a criticism.)

;)

Similar to "The Rolling Stones Now!" in that it's a collection of Yardbirds' tracks thrown together rather than an album (and in that almost every song is a cover).  The tracks cover the personnel changes of their early period.  There are two versions of "I'm a Man," you can hear the difference between Eric Clapton's and Jeff Beck's approach.  Keith Relf might not exactly be the most credible blues singer, but otherwise the album is great throughout.

George Coleman - Horns of Plenty

Coleman is an archetype of a jazz saxophonist.  He has a beautiful, warm tone, plays lots of standards, and is firmly in the mainstream despite a resume that includes the earliest version of the 2nd Miles Davis quintet.  This album is about as plain jane straight-ahead mainstream modern jazz as you can find.  It may not find itself on any top 100 lists, but the group sounds great.  It's actually a good intro kind of album to this kind of music.  Drummer Billy Higgins - famous for his work with free jazz pioneer Ornette Colemam -- gives a master class in jazz drumming on this album, melding his active style into the more mellow laid back playing here.

George Coleman was born in Memphis in 1935.  Pianist Harold Maburn, also on this album, was born in Memphis in 1936.  Also from Memphis:  Charles Lloyd - latest reviewed above (1938), Booker Ervin - formerly a Mingus collaborator (1938).  Some other Memphis guys born around the time.  Something in the water.  These names may not mean much to most, but they had prominent careers.  Coleman, Maburn, and Lloyd are still actively recording last I checked.

The songwriting is really starting to come together (Satisfaction, The Last Time, Play With Fire; even The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man, and The Spider and the Fly are better than most all the original songs on The Rolling Stones Now!).  Most of the rest of the songs are covers of 60s soul songs (they have a great cover of Marvin Gaye's Hitchhike.)  The recording quality is also noticeably improved.

This is the one with "I'm Alright" that Minsky mentioned above.  I'm didn't know they ever claimed that as their own.  That's pretty funny; as it's obviously Bo Diddley.

All I know about Bo Diddley is that old Bo Jackson commercial.  :sleep:

I once saw him in concert; he must have been about 70 at the time.  He rapped and he did the robot.  It was a strange show.

Anyhow you should at least know:

Bo Diddley (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jrIK7YB0tE) and
Who Do You Love? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w9Eii9ZFsQ)

The entire album "Bo Diddley" is great if you like 50s era rock 'n roll. :elvis:

This is the one with "I'm Alright" that Minsky mentioned above.  I'm didn't know they ever claimed that as their own.  That's pretty funny; as it's obviously Bo Diddley.

They definitely did - if you search images of the back cover, you'll see some examples.

Louis Smith- Here Comes Louis Smith (1958)

Smith was a trumpet player who sounded a lot like Clifford Brown - not a bad thing, Brown was one of the best, and died tragically a couple of years before this.  This is the first of two albums Smith did for Blue Note - both of them very good.  This is particularly notable due to contributions from Cannonball Adderley, just months before he would join Miles Davis and play on the sessions for Milestones and Kind of Blue  Due to contractual issues, Adderley was credited on the album as "Buckshot La Funke."  It's a great name for a sideman, sadly too good to be true.  Branford Marsalis reused the name for one of his bands a while back.

Smith did this one, a follow-up and appeared as a sideman on a few other things, most notably a jaw dropping live date with Horace Silver at Newport.  He then left the music business to become a school teacher.  Over the years, he made a couple short comebacks and played some dates, but nothing so intense or enduring as to mess with his pension.

Horace Silver -- At Newport 58

More Louis Smith: his playing on this date is incredible.
Horace Silver has a deep discography but for some reason it is light on live performances.  Not sure why - I saw him play well past his prime and while he paced himself, he could still turn it on.  This particular recording was lost for years and then discovered in the Library of Congress archives. Definitely worthy of attention from Horace fans.  And if you're not a Horace fan, you really should be.

Shirley Scott - Plays Horace Silver

More on the Silver theme  . . . Scott was the "Queen of the Hammond Organ" - touring the chitlin' circuit with R&B-infused soul jazz and churning out about 3 albums a year for Blue Note Records in the early/mid 60s.  This trio recording is a cut above the usual - seems to have been a personal interest for Scott - her playing on Sister Sadie is inspired.  For some reason this never got released on CD (and thus none of the streaming services only).  Used LPs only.

Henry Grimes plays bass here, showing off his mainstream technique on the walking bass esp. in the upper register.  Grimes (like Richard Davis) was a popular session bassist in the 60s, playing with everybody from old-timey swing guys like Benny Goodman to cool jazz guru Lennie Tristano to modish modern players like Sonny Rollins and everything in between.  By the mid-60s he was mostly doing avant garde free jazz stuff with the likes Cecil Taylor (atonal percussive piano) and Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp - think torrents of shrieking and honking on the saxophone.

Then in 1970, Grimes suddenly disappeared.  For a long while he was presumed dead.  Then in 2002, he was found by a social worker - he was living in an SRO without any instruments and was spending most of his time going to the local public library reading poetry.  Another musician donated a bass, and for the last decade he was been musically active again, performing regularly and recording a bunch of albums.

Arthur Blythe - In the Tradition (1978)

Blythe died earlier this year . . . In 1979, he recorded Lenox Avenue Breakdown which is one of my top 10 favorite albums.  Blythe tended towards free improvisation, which can sometimes a recipe for either small group atonal weirdness or horribly shrieking and honking reed play.  Blythe always brought his swing roots to the proceedings, and an infectious sense of fun, which makes the material more approachable if still a bit out.  This earlier album isn't quite the masterpiece that Lenox Avenue Breakdown would be, but it's close, and as its title indicates, even more rooted in the jazz tradition, with 3 pre-war compositions out of 6, 2 from Ellington.   It's not quite your grandfather's Ellington though.

After a while OOP, this got released with Breakdown and 2 other Blythe albums on a cheap Euro import CD - great value.

I got my own copy earlier on a used LP, signed by Blythe's then wife to the previous owner: "To a Friend, a Peer, and a Marxist"

Art Blakey - Mosaic (1961) and Caravan (1963)

I've probably listened to these close to a hundred times (combined) over the last 20 years.  Same band except for one lineup change at bass.

This time I switched up by track - i.e. one track from Mosaic, then one from Caravan, then back to Mosaic.  Point being to listen to the differences in the recording style.  Mosaic was a Rudy van Gelder job from Blue Note (one of their first dedicated stereo recordings), Caravan was put out by Riverside and Orin Keepnews.  Listening side-by-side, the RVG style really jumps out: very immediate in the action feel, some reverb with the horns and drums, every hit on Blakey's hit is highlighted with the rolls and fills nearly overwhelming the band, narrow stereo separation.  The Riverside recording is more clean, less distorted, but its a more tame and the stereo separation is wide for my taste.

Jimmy Smith - Groovin at Small's Paradise (1957)

More Hammond B3 goodness, this time from the King himself, Jimmy Smith.  Sav posted a listen a few months back from Smith's classic Back in the Chicken Shack a more polished affair with strong supporting personnel (Stanley Turrentine on tenor and Kenny Burrell on guitar).  This is a more stripped down trio date played live.  While guitarist McFadden is no Kenny Burrell, he acquits himself well here.  But there is no doubt this is Smith's show.  It's basically Smith playing a series of basic standards like "Indiana," "My Funny Valentine," and "It's Just a Paper Moon," but with each track exceeding 10 minutes, much of which Smith spends displaying his insane virtuosity on the organ.

Keith Jarrett -- My Song (1977)

This is the "European Quartet" with Jan Garbarek, Palle Danielson and Jon Christensen - 2 Norwegians and a Swede.  Easy to see how a Swedish group like e.s.t. may have gotten the Jarrett influence.  It has the Euroish ECM sound that on some tracks is in danger of veering towards New Age, and also some Jarrett vocalizations - neither are really my bag.  But this sound is pretty influential -- for example, although Robert Glasper won a bunch of grammys incorporating hip hop and contemporary R&B into his music, its core is strongly influenced by Jarrett and this sound.  The playing is high quality as well of course.

ECM so no streaming sadly.

Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' (1958)

In mainstream modern jazz, the piano player "comps" - plays chords corresponding to the harmonic structure of the song - while the horn players solo.  The key is rhythm and timing - playing in such a way to give drive and tension.  Seems simple but hard to get it right.  Sonny Clark was a master at it, and it made him in very high demand as a sideman.  So no surprise when he took a date as a leader, he could get the best.  The rest of Miles Davis' rhythm section is here - Paul Chambers and Philly Joe Jones - and they play the shit out of the session.  Jackie McLean on tenor and Art Farmer on trumpet.

Sadly Clark would be dead a few years later, in his early 30s.  Mr. P.C. died not that long afterward.

Ahmad Jamal - At the Pershing (1958)

Jamal got criticized by some at the time as being a glorified cocktail pianist, but Miles Davis praised him highly . . . Miles was right. In the usual trio, time is marked out by a walking bass, and the drummer, freeing the pianist to play melody and solo.  In Jamal's group everyone marks time and no one does.  The rhythm shifts a lot in these tunes, and Vernel Fournier on drums often plays rhythmic counterpoint to Jamal.  Meanwhile Israel Crosby plays bass in walking style but does not always mark out a strict 4-4; he plays a kind of quieter and more subtle version of what Scott LeFaro would do with Bill Evans a couple years later.

I believe this was the first recording of "Poinciana" which hit the mainstream Billboard charts and stayed on for several years.

Jamal is his mid-80s now - and has released several albums over the last decade or so, he's been doing some of his best work since the 1980s.

I learned that this began life a work for two pianos (but was arranged for full orchestration before the original premiers.)  I also learned that, even though the movements were premiered; Holst hated it when people played the planets out of the order that he wrote them (often orchestras will end with Jupiter rather than Neptune.)

I prefer the orchestrated version of this one, but the piano pieces aren't bad; except Mars, that really doesn't work that way.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears - The Mamas and the Papas (1966)

Or "The Mama's and the Papa's" as the album cover spells it; the album cover is also famous for being banned for featuring a toilet :o :o :o.

The Mamas and the Papas would never sound as good as this again, the harmonies are simply gorgeous and the production (mostly done by The Wrecking Crew) matches that.  The album covers a lot of ground R&B, soul, folk and rock and roll, but all done in their distinct style.

The album is seen as a milestone of then nascent counter-culture; celebrating California (California dreaming) and its youth lifestyle (The In Crowd, Go Wear You Wanna Go.)  If anyone thinks that the "Culture War" is a recent phenomenon, the album that preceded this at #1 on the Billboard charts was "The Ballad of the Green Berets" by SSgt Barry Sandler.  (In the spirit of the times, it was proceeded by  Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass's "What Now my Love?" :cool:)

Sav's claim that the Mamas and Papas would never sound that good again made me do some poking around.  Couldn't find a source that shows all albums, dates, and titles, so I'm unable to dispute his pernicious and false doctrine, but I did find a link to a description of their four disc anthology album, and was somewhat surprised to see the number of solo writing credits Michelle Phillips has.  I just figured she was golden throated eye candy.

The Rolling Stones - Aftermath (UK) (1966)

The first Rolling Stones album consisting entirely of original compositions; this is a hit or miss affair.  The hits (Mother's Little Helper, Stupid Girl, Lady Jane and Under My Thumb) are great, if more than a little misogynistic;  but the fill, oh the fill, the better US version cuts the song count from 14 to 11 and even that doesn't get rid of all the fill. 

Country :alberta: is starting to appear on the albums (High and Dry and the overlooked I Am Waiting.)  The lyrics are becoming clever even in fill songs like Flight 505 they have their moments.  There's much more experimentation than previously, the dulcimer in Lady Jane, the Marimba in Under My Thumb and Out of Time.  The eleven minute Goin' Home was revolutionary for its length (on a rock album), but, unfortunately, it's just not very good.  There's some Dylan and Beatles influence that works out well and there's some Beach Boys influence that does not, notably on What To Do.

The Mamas and the Papas - The Mamas and the Papas (1966)

In the six months between this and "If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears" Michelle Philips managed to have an affair with both Denny Doherty and Gene Clark (of the Byrds.)  Given Mama Cass's feelings for Doherty, John Phillips marriage to Michelle, personnel changes (Jill Gibson replaced Michelle Phillips) and  the sheer amount of drugs Papa John was doing it's a wonder this album got made at all, much less that it's as good as it is.  The second side is almost all about love gone wrong, (not much of a surprise), the first side is more like an art school project.  It's a mess, but a wonderful mess.

Is this the one you were thinking of, Yi?  I'm not hearing anything on this that sounds as good as "California Dreaming," or "Go Where You Want To Go;" but it's still a great album.

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1966)

For one, brief, moment everything came together for Brian Wilson.  The songs about longing and adolescence (a fixture on every album since Today!) now sound surprisingly mature (most were co-written by jingle writer Tony Asher.)  The experimentation all works out (it wouldn't on "Smiley Smile.")  The Beach Boy's harmonies are their most sophisticated and best.  He'd never manage to capture this magic again, and by 1967 the Beach Boys would go from revolutionary to nostalgic (in fact their next two albums would be "Greatest hits" compilation.)

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde (1966)

Released the same day as Pet Sounds (May 16, 1966), that was a good day for popular music, a very good day indeed.

(There is some dispute on the release date, some music historians put it a few weeks later.)  Blonde on Blonde tends to end up on critics "Best of" lists.  Personally I prefer Highway 61 Revisited; Blonde on Blonde tends to wander and just doesn't hold my attention the way Highway 61 does.  Individually, though, the songs on Blonde on Blonde are all among Dylan's best.  Dylan was on top of his game here, my favorite is "Fourth Time Around" in which Bob Dylan impersonates John Lennon writing a Bob Dylan influenced song.

This would be the end of Dylan's Rock Star period.  He'd have a serious motorcycle accident in July of 1966; and did some soul searching while recovering.  His next studio album, John Wesley Harding, would be in a very different direction.

For one, brief, moment everything came together for Brian Wilson.  The songs about longing and adolescence (a fixture on every album since Today!) now sound surprisingly mature (most were co-written by jingle writer Tony Asher.)  The experimentation all works out (it wouldn't on "Smiley Smile.")  The Beach Boy's harmonies are their most sophisticated and best.  He'd never manage to capture this magic again, and by 1967 the Beach Boys would go from revolutionary to nostalgic (in fact their next two albums would be "Greatest hits" compilation.)

When I listened to the whole album for the first time a couple of years ago the song that took me by surprise was I Know there's an Answer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkdZlQcumKU).  I had been listening to the cover Hang onto your Ego (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ2qi9KfEZ8) since the early 90s without realizing it was a cover.

The Monks - Black Monk Time (1966)

:punk:

Even raw-er than the previous year's "Here are the Sonics" by the Sonics; and much weirder as rhythm was played on electric banjo and they did dress up as monks, complete with tonsures.  (They got their start in West Germany, as if you couldn't have guessed.)  This is a forgotten gem of proto-punk.

Paul Revere and the Raiders - Midnight Ride (1966)

This is the one with "Kicks" and the original version of "I'm not your Stepping Stone."  It's not a bad album, filled mostly with rockers.

I learned that when Paul Revere (yes, that was his real name, he had it legally changed... from Paul Revere Dick,) was doing his service as a conscientious objector (1960-1961) he was temporarily replaced by Leon Russell (then 18 years old).  I also learned that "Kicks" was banned from some radio stations because they thought it glorified drug use; the polar opposite message of the lyrics.

The Sonics - Boom (1966)

Every bit at :punk: as their previous years "This is the Sonics."  This time they do more R&B numbers including "Hitch Hike" and "Jenny Jenny," those are okay, but the rockers and especially the original compositions (notably Psycho and The Witch) are where they really shine through.

They tried to go commercial on their next album, "Introducing the Sonics" and by all accounts that was a really, really bad idea.  There was a group called "The Sonics" that soldiered on until the 80s, but all the original members had lefty by 1968.

Clifford Jordan - Glass Bead Games (1973)

Strong Coltrane influence from the early 60s quartet, but on a more human scale.   This was released on Strata East, an independent, artist controlled label that turned out some superb releases in the 70s, but not surprisingly struggled financially and was defunct before the CD.  Glass Bead Games became a kind of cult classic, and old LPs carried a high premium for years. Recently it was added to the streaming services (and released as part of CD box set for the label).  The always stellar Billy Higgins on drums.

The Mothers of Invention - Freak Out! (1966)

One of the first double albums.  The first LP is loaded with sarcastic pop songs; the second with weird avant garde sound collages.  If there had been such a thing as Art Punk Rock this album would be its precursor.  (Not like the Talking Heads; if there had been Emerson, Lake and Rotten this album would have been their inspiration.)

While this really isn't my thing, I'll give Frank Zappa credit.  He obviously could have been successful writing pop songs, but did what he wanted instead.  The album does have its moments, especially the song about the Watts Riots, "Trouble Every Day."

Yes, I had burned out on the music collages, but listening to the first LP again it does have a number of good songs.  He probably could have had a hit with some of them with more commercial oriented production and different lyrics.

The Yardbirds - The Yardbirds (1966)

Also known as "Roger the Engineer" and "Over Under Sideways Down."  The Yardbirds were now Jeff Beck's band and were moving away from the blues towards rock and psychedelia.  The album is a hit or miss affair, a lot of the blues instrumentals are forgettable.  Still it's a marked improvement from "Having a Rave Up."

Ellington - At Newport 1956 (complete)

The first 3 CDs I ever bought were Sonny Rollins' Saxophone Colossus, the Miles Davis/Milt Jackson Bag's Grove Session, and the Ellington Newport recording.  What I didn't know then was that other than the last track Ellington CD wasn't really the Newport performance, most of it was recorded later in studio and the audience noise spliced in.  Partly because Duke was a perfectionist and partly because the Columbia live recording had some issues.

Turns out there was another live recording by Voice of America, and the Sony people did some technical wizardry to create a stereo recording combining those tapes and the Columbia masters.  Against expectations, it really does sound good, and the genuine live set is there in its full if flawed glory just as it was played back in July 56.

Ellington's own reservations aside, it's a good snapshot of his band at or near its peak level of performance.  The recording is most famous for a long Paul Gonsalves tenor solo that drove the crowd in a frenzy.  The solo is fine, but the ensemble playing is the star here.  That and Johnny Hodges on alto.

Elvin Jones - The Ultimate Elvin Jones (1968)

This is the old John Coltrane rhythm section -- Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Jones on drums, but with no piano, and multi-instrumentalist Joe Farrell (tenor sax, soprano sax, flute).  The piano-less trio recalls Sonny Rollins' similar set up from a decade early in his highly regarded Village Vanguard recordings, where Elvin Jones also played drums.  Farrell doesn't have Sonny's tone or inexhaustible ideas, but he has some inspired playing on this.  Truth be told Farrell's name didn't ring a bell with me, some googling revealed he died young and did a lot of work with Chick Corea's fusion bands, not a body of work I'm that familiar with.  Nice work here, and with Garrison and Jones pushing things along the bar is high.

George Cables - Cables Vision (1979)

The first track has a very 70s vibe, with a farty Jaco Pastorious style electric bass, and a sound that veers dangerously into smooth jazz.  It picks up nicely from there, however, with help from a great front line - Freddie Hubbard on flugelhorn doing his sizzle, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, and Cables himself on piano.  It's much like Hutcherson's excellent 70s era sessions on Blue Note and Columbia, with the same 3 guys recording with BH as leader.  The 70s were a very tough time for this kind of music but there are a lot of fine if mostly forgotten sessions from the period.

The Byrds - Fifth Dimension (1966)

The first (though certainly not the last) Byrds' album to feature a major line up change, Gene Clark left the band.  The songwriting was taken over by Jim McGuinn and David Crosby.  The result is an album that's all over the place, from traditional folk songs (John Riley, Wild Mountain Time) to psychedelia (5D, Eight Miles High) to country-rock (Mr. Spaceman), to a Nazim Hikmet poem set to music (I Come and Stand at Every Door).  The low points on the album are David Crosby's attempt at avant-garde experimentation, What's Happening?!?! (it will be much worse on the next album) and their version of "Hey Joe" (though to be fair, there was no way of knowing at the time that Hey Joe was really a Jimi Hendrix song.  Bob Dylan had the same problem with his version of "All Along the Watchtower."  ;))

On that subject there are no Dylan covers, a rarity on Byrds' albums.

I was listening to some Byrds and CSN at a neighbor's house after hours the other day.  Pretty sure we listened to some tracks off Fifth Dimension. Good guy, young, plays bass in a local band.  Maybe I'll ask him to take a look here and see if he wants to sign up.

I maintained that Crosby was dead weight (fat joke not intended) on CSN.  That they were all about Nash singing on top of Stills.

I've sung a couple of their songs and have trouble picking out the melody.  It almost sounds like their singing two harmonies around a missing melody.  I'm thinking in particular of Teach Your Children and Judy Blue Eyes.  I have the same problem with some (not all) Simon & Garfunkel songs.

I think that's a good insight about CSN.  It's what gives many of their songs such a distinct sound.  I can't think of a Simon and Garfunkel song like that though, (and now I have the 59th Street Bridge Song stuck in my head.)

Charlie Christian - Harlem Jazz Scene 1941

This is a homebrew bootleg recording by a Columbia student of the Minton's club in Harlem where modern jazz music was born.  The sound quality is nowhere near as good as Christian's work with Bennie Goodman (also recommended) but the playing makes up for it.  Dizzy Gillespie plays on a few tracks as well.

Christian died the next year, aged 25 - he never recorded an album as a leader.  Nonetheless an argument can be made that he is the most important - or most influential - musician in American history.  He was one of the founders of the bop style in jazz, and this recording shows how advanced he was, at a time when Charlie Parker was still playing in a territory band.  His solo technique on electric guitar is a direct influence on all guitarists who came after, of all genres.  If you listen to and like anyone who plays electric guitar, they have been influenced by Charlie Christian, whether they know it or not.  There is a direct connection between Christian and 1950s blues and R&B - guys like BB King and Chuck Berry, and basically any rock and roll guitarist that ever played is just building off the foundation that Christian built and others popularized.

More Wynton-era Messengers, this time with brother Branford on board.  Often regarded as the best of this period, not so much for Wynton's playing (good but IMO he was better on a studio session from that period) but because Blakey himself was inspired on this live date.

By weird circumstance I came to listen to Quebec punk rockers Les Dales Hawerchuk: named after arguably the best Winnipeg Jet player of all time.

Pretty good, actually.  Even if I only understand a quarter of what they're singing.

Fats Waller - V Disc Recordings (1944)

During much of WW2, the American Federation of Musicians had a recording strike.  Back then unions actually counted, and the strike was effective - recording came to a virtual stop for more than two years.  That left the boys overseas without any new records to play so someone had the bright idea of making special edition records just for the troops overseas: the V Disc program.  Most of the big stars of the era signed up.  After the war all the records were destroyed, although a few sets  and some of the metal stampers survived. A bunch have been reissued despite the unclear legal status decades later, the Sinatra ones in particular are an important period in his discography.

Fats Waller did some V Disc records - they turned out to be last recordings he made before his death at age 40.  Legend has it he showed up for the session with a couple bottles of whiskey and left with empty bottles, about half the takes were unreleasable.  What was released though shows him on form, playing a good selection of his hits for the last time on record.

John Coltrane - Coltrane Plays the Blues (1960/2)

I've been listening to all the Coltrane Atlantic recordings I didn't have on CD - this one stood out as when the combo with McCoy Tyner (piano) and Elvin Jones (drums) began to really hit its stride.  It's the blues oriented counterpart to My Favorite Things, recorded at the same time, but released more than a year earlier.

So maybe breakout teens around that millenial era.

Herbie Nichols - Complete Blue Note Recordings

Nichols was about the same age as Thelonious Monk - they both played piano, both were highly imaginative had superb compositional skills, harmonic inventiveness (Nichols was a big fan of Bartok).  Both had a hard time gaining an audience.  Their personalities were very different though . . . Monk was eccentric, a larger than life personality.  When audiences finally caught up to the music, Monk became a star, shrewdly using his "mad genius" image to his advantage, parlaying it into a Time magazine cover and long-term recording contracts at majors like Columbia.

Nichols was a very different personality - quiet, intellectual, bookish.  He took gigs with Dixieland bands for the steady paycheck .  Blue Note chief Alfred Lion (who also recorded Monk's early work) was a fan, and gave him a bunch of recording time in a trio arrangement with Art Blakey on drums.  It was a commercial flop, Nichols was just too ahead of his time. It basically ended Nichols own recording career.  He did retain a cult following, which maintained the flame even after Nichols' death in his 40s, resulting in the reissue of almost forgotten Blue Note records decades later.  Now available on the streaming services.

Cream – Fresh Cream (1966)

Cream's debut album has its moments; especially "I Feel Free" and it has its duds; notably "Sleepy Time Time."  The main issue with this is Jack Bruce's voice isn't really suited either for the blues or for psychedelia; which is something of a problem for the lead singer in a blues-psychedelia band.  I'm not a fan of "Toad" but otherwise the instrumental work is great; revolutionary for its day, in fact, though it inspired so many other bands that it's hard to hear it as such.

"I Feel Free" was Cream's second single.  The first was "Wrapping Paper," which is Cream's "When I'm Sixty Four."  They would later do "A Muvver's Lament" which is in a similar vein, except this one sounds like it's done in earnest.

The Who – A Quick One (1966)

The primary problem with the album is that their label insisted that each member write two songs.  John came up with two of his best (Whiskey Man and Boris the Spider), and Pete's are mostly solid; but Keith's and Rodger's just aren't very good.  Pete's first foray into rock opera is in this one (A Quick One While He's Away); that's hit or miss but an interesting look at what is to come.

While not as raw or exciting as "The Who Sing My Generation" this is still great.  Keith's drums really drive the songs, just as on the previous album, giving them each a manic energy.  This is the last hurrah for "Maximum R&B" with their cover of "Heat Wave;" it's every bit as frantic as Motown was soulful.  It's for the best that they didn't continue in that direction, but that is still a great version of the song.

Tomasz Stanko - Suspended Variations (2003)

Trumpeter, the pride of Polish jazz.  This a track from a decade-old ECM album, heard on Pandora.  ECM of course doesn't stream on Spotify etc. and I have mixed feelings about the "ECM sound."  I'm pretty omnivorous but I'm more of a Blue Note sound guy (i.e. Horace Silver or Art Blakey).  The classic ECM is more free, more avant, more "third stream,:  more pretentious, and at worst can veer dangerously towards new age.  This is definitely an "ECM sound" track but Stanko is the real deal despite the consonants, I'm tempted to check out the album despite it being out of my usual zone.

The Doors - The Doors (1967)

Pop, rock, blues, psychedelia, poetry, bossa nova and opera (?) all come together for a great album.  The Doors would have other hits, but never an album quite this great again.  Jim's poetry is more than a little stupid (even by the standards of the 1960s), but I think it works due to his sheer charisma.  On that subject I don't think anyone else could make Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill sound that cool.   :cool:

The Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons (1967)

1967 saw the release of the Stones' least blues influenced albums, "Their Satanic Majesties Request" and "Between the Buttons."  Satanic Majesties is wildly experimental; but in a sense more consistent than this album, all the songs are psychedelia.  On "Between the Buttons" the songs seem to come from all over, mid-60s pop, country, British music hall, renaissance music and rock and roll all intersect here.  They do manage to get their quota of misogynistic put down songs on this one, but they also parody themselves doing this in "Cool, Calm and Collected."  A couple of the songs, "She Smiled Sweetly" and "Who's Been Sleeping Here?" demonstrate that John Lennon wasn't the only Dylan obsessed British rock star.

The album is mostly forgotten, except for the big hits, "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Ruby Tuesday."  It is well worth a listen, especially if you think Satanic Majesties isn't that bad.

I think Boz took over vocals by the time they were touring. Haskell may not have ever played live with them.

Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow

The high point in the various incarnations of Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship; this is the one with "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love."  There are also a number of gems on this as well, especially "Today" and "Embryonic Journey."  Jefferson Airplane was the first band out of the Haight Ashbury scene to make it big.  Listening to it this time through it's easy to hear the influence of The Byrds and The Mamas and the Papas (both LA based acts.)

While I'm not a big fan of Jefferson Airplane (or any of its successor bands); this one is worth the listen.  In fact it will still be influential a millennium into the future. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P7peu7Wy7w)

The Byrds - Younger than Yesterday (1967)

The first Byrds album without any Gene Clark material and the last one with David Crosby; this is my favorite Byrds album.  The songwriting has improved over "Fifth Dimension" and the band has a more unified sound.  Chris Hillman starts writing songs on this one; his music has a more country-western sound.  (Ultimately this would lead to the Country-Rock album "Sweetheart of the Rodeo".)

The real dead spot on the album is David Crosby's avant garde "Mind Garden;" otherwise the album is excellent throughout.  This album has the only Dylan cover the Byrds did better than Dylan (and they did a lot of them), "My Back Pages."

Brian Fallon - If Your Prayers Don't Get to Heaven

He is the Gaslight Anthem frontman, a band which I love. The guy had a divorce a couple of years ago and it had a STRONG pull on their music, so much so that the band is temporarily disbanded.

His solo efforts have been good, but this is the first song from him in quite a while which gives me hope he may have finally put the whole ordeal behind him and can go back to the melancholic-but-resilient-and-positive vibe that I like, not the everything-is-going-to-shit-inevitably one he had been obsessed with.

Also, I only recently realised that this favourite musician of mine is my age almost to the exact day.

Cal Tjader - Live at the Club Macumba (1956)

Swedish-American vibes player - early in his career he hired a bunch of Cuban musicians and fronted one of the leading Afro-Cuban bands of the era.  Only in America.  Was well positioned to catch the Latin craze of the mid/late 50s.  This is a relaxed and informal live show in San Francisco, musicians and the audience enjoying themselves.  Fun listen.  Vince Guaraldi of Peanuts fame is on piano.

The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night) (1967)

The Electric Prunes were a garage band from Los Angeles who were trying to play psychedelia.  Their music ended up being recognized as proto-punk and the title track to this album is the opening track on the "Nuggets" collection.  The biggest problem is that their producer didn't trust them with their own music so they had to play what he selected; and he didn't seem to know what sort of music they should be playing.  The result is that the compositions are all over the place, but there's so much experimentation with so many types of instruments that every song is recognizable as The Prunes.  The result is sort of a garage band "Pet Sounds."

Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You (1967)

sockittomesockittomesockittomesockittome

It's helpful to remember that not everyone in 1967 was dropping acid and playing electric sitar.  This album is one of Aretha's best with the title track, Respect, and Do-Right Woman; but every track on this is great.  The real test for any R&B singer is if they can do a Ray Charles song; and she passes with flying colors with "Drown In My Own Tears."  You can tell she got her start singing gospel (her father was a minister) a number of the songs start out like sermons.  Her version of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" is an especially good example of that.

Bobby Hutcherson - Oblique (1967)

Coincidence on the date . . . also no sitars and acid here.  This is a Herbie Hancock collaboration and features an extended take from the theme of Blow Up, so the 60s feel is there.  One of my favorite of the Blue Note period albums for Hutcherson.

The Velvet Underground - Nico and the Velvet Underground (1967)

Back to the electric sitar, but I don't think the VU was dropping a lot of acid (or at least not much in proportion to all the other drugs.)  After listening to the other (pop) album of the times I appreciate how revolutionary this was.  This comes from the high water mark of psychedelia, nothing else from the era sounds like this and no one else was writing songs about heroin, prostitution and S&M parties.  Nico's singing leaves a great deal to be desired and the viola never really caught on as a rock instrument, but somehow it all works together as a weird and wonderful experience.

Yeah, Nico was part of Warhol's factory.  She had trouble singing in the right key (or any key) live.  Their association with Warhol allowed them to sing what they wanted and to play the viola to their hearts' content; so it was probably a fair trade off.

Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim – Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967)

The Bossa Nova craze still had legs in 1967; and Frank decided to get in on it with one of the leading Bossa Nova players, Jobim.  This is the one with Sinatra's famous recording of "Girl from Ipanema" on it.  It's a good album overall, Frank sounds more subdued than usual, something that works well here, as it did on "In the Wee Small Hours."  There are three standards done in a Bossa Nova style on this, "Baubles Bangles and Beads," "I Concentrate on You," and "Change Partners."  The rest are Bossa Nova compositions.  The band sounds pretty laid back throughout; maybe it's too easy listening, but at this point in Frank's career the days of the bobbysoxers had long past.

I'm surprised it's that big of a hit.  It's not really catchy or for a worthy cause like many of the other songs on the list.  It is a love song, of sorts, but the sentiment is not exactly "I will always love you."

Thelonious Monk, Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1960)

Recordings Monk did for a movie soundtrack, lost decades ago but then master tapes discovered a couple years ago.  This is peak Monk, just before his Columbia records period, although the band is transitional.  Not as definitive as the also lost and found "Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane" and not the best intro to Monk, but worth the listen from hard core Monk fans.

Jimi Hendrix and the Experience - Are you Experienced (1993 Reissue)

No electric sitar on this one; but more than it's fair share of acid...

Unlike "Nico and the Velvet Underground" this is in the spirit of the times; but even with all the guitar virtuosos and psychedelic experimentation of 1966-1967 this still is revolutionary.  Jimi draws from all sorts of American R&B and rock to make something that is uniquely his own.

The British and American 1967 versions of this album are wildly different in track listing.  There's been a number of attempts to merge the two albums.  This is the first where the tracks are listed in the order they were recorder.  So the album doesn't begin with either "Foxy Lady" (as the British did) or "Purple Haze" (as the American) it begins with "Hey Joe."  It's not the best way to reconcile the two, but every track is a masterpiece so that's only a quibble.

ECM finally bowed to the realities of the music marketplace and went on the big streaming services.
So last week has been lots of touring through the catalog past and present.  Including:

Charles Lloyd - Hagar's Song (2012) - duo with Jason Moran (piano).  Sax/piano duo is tough to pull off.  The pianist really has to shoulder the rhythmic burden as well as contribute melodically.  Moran, who marries contemporary sensibility with a thorough grounding in early jazz history (Harlem stride, swing), is the right choice if you want to attempt this. The mini "Hagar Suite" is the highlight.  Still like the quartet better  - e.g. Passin Thru (2017) - also on ECM.

Stefano Bollani, Joy in Spite of Everything (2014) - impressive lineup (Mark Turner on sax) but a bit too restrained for my taste.  Guitarist Bill Frisell does great work, as always.

Vijay Iyer - Break Stuff (2017) - Iyer's latest trio recording, everyone in top form.  Harvard grad Iyer likes to intellectualize his music (kind of like how Anthony Braxton released math symbols as album titles) but at the core of his best efforts is a tight groove.  Also key is the contribution from Marcus Gilmore on drums, one of the best of the business.

Gary Burton & Chick Corea - Crytal Silence (1973) - piano/vibes duo.  This is the ECM sound at its best.  Dreamy and laid back, but with superb musicianship and virtuosity.

The Monkees - Headquarters (1967)

The Prefab-Four were finally given creative control and the results are... pretty good, surprisingly.  They're sort of stuck between 3 minute mid-60s era pop and 3 minute psychedelic experimentation.  The avant-garde of the era regarded the Monkees at lightweights; which is fair a lot of their more experimental songs come across as weird simply for the sake of being weird.  Even so those aren't bad songs, but the Monkees are clearly more in their comfort song when singing pop.  The only big hit on the album is "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You," which is a Neil Diamond ( :Joos :elvis:) composition.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)

Within a two month period "Nico and the Velvet Underground," "Are You Experienced," and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" were all released.  What a time for popular music.  While I'm tempted to trot out the term "Revolutionary" yet again; I don't think it really applies here.  "Sgt. Pepper's" is innovative, yes, but it has obvious antecedents in the Beatles' own "Revolver" and The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds."  "Pet Sounds," I think is the real revolution; the Beatles did it bigger and (in my opinion) better, but not first.

David Bowie - David Bowie (1967)

Mr. Jones's first album was coincidentally released on the same day as "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."  It's certainly not revolutionary, but it is... visionary. 

Bowie's manager wanted him to be a complete artist rather than just a rock 'n roll star.  So the entire album seems to come straight out of the British music hall; if they had sung songs about infanticide, cannibalism and the apocalypse at the music hall.  The most amazing song on the album, in fact one of the most amazing songs ever written, is "Please Mr. Grave Digger" a heartfelt lament for a little girl sung by her murderer accompanied only by sound affects and set in a post apocalyptic world.  Who the target audience of this album was supposed to be is anyone's guess.  It obviously didn't reach them as the album was a flop.

Critics note that there are a couple songs which do contain familiar Bowie themes, Messiahs (We are Hungry Men), Dystopias (We are Hungry Men and Please Mr. Grave Digger) and gender fluidity (She's got Medals.)  On the other hand there are also songs far afield of anything Bowie:  "Uncle Albert" is about a Mama's boy who leaves his bride when he discovers she can't cook; "There is a Happy Land" is about childhood.  The lyrics (uncharacteristic of Bowie) leave something to be desired.  My favorite from "Rubber Band":

In 1910 I was so handsome and so strong
My moustache was stiffly waxed and one foot long

The album has a few bright spots (I like "Silly Boy Blue") but for the most part has to be heard to be believed:  Here you go, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bPNqOsXy7Q) don't say I didn't warn you.

Moby Grape - Moby Grape (1967)

Moby Grape released five singles on the same day from this album (Fall on You, Sitting by the Window, 8:05, Omaha and Hey Grandma.)  That was one of the better decisions made by the record company (or their managers or the band members) for Moby Grape which is why they never lived up to their potential.  Even so this is a great album; one of the best ever to come out of the San Francisco scene.  They could rock as hard as Jefferson Airplane or be as folksy as the Grateful Dead.  They even created the psychedelic soul sound that Motown would emulate.

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Safe as Milk (1967)

Quite a bit more accessible than almost anything else Captain Beefheart ever did; this is almost straight out blues-rock (with a very young Ry Cooder on guitar.)  It does have a garage band sound, you can tell it's Don Van Vliet signing and there is some weirdness and surrealistic lyrics on a couple songs; but it's pretty tame by the standards of Captain Beefheart.  By the standards of 1967 it's not even all that experimental.  If you're unfamiliar with Captain Beefheart this is a very good place to start.

Otis Redding – Live in Europe (1967)

The sound recording isn't the best, but otherwise this is great.  Otis, backed by Booker T and the MGs, is on fire and the audience is really into it.  The high point is listening to the entire audience sing along to "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)".  This would be Otis's only live album released in his lifetime; and recorded only nine months before he died. 

"Dock of the Bay" isn't on this; that was unfinished when he died.  The whistling at the end of the song was because he hadn't written the additional vocals yet.

The Young Rascals - Groovin'

This is the last album they're billed as "The Young Rascals" they'd become "The Rascals" on their next album.  They left the garage behind on this one and delivered something between psychedelia and blue eyed soul (there is a cover of "Place in the Sun" on this.  Fortunately the band had the wisdom not to try to sound like Stevie  :cool:.)  The title track is the standout on the album (they even had a sticker on the album which proclaimed "This is the album with the really big hit;") but it's good throughout.  (There were four charting singles on the album; five if you count the Spanish and Italian release of "Groovin'".)

Paul Bley - Open, To Love (1973)

Solo piano.  This was released early in the history of the ECM label, received positive critical attention, and is considered as a key defining document of what became the "ECM sound" - there's a clear connection between this and Keith Jarret's work as a tent pole artist for ECM.  I'm ambivalent about it for the same reason I'm ambivalent about the ECM sound generally.  It's nicely written and performed, but the influences on some tracks are more from Schoenberg and the American minimalists than from Jelly Roll, Bud Powell or Monk.  By way of comparison MJQ was often accused of chamber music sensibilities, but their MD John Lewis was a bluesman at his core, and Connie Kay on drums learned his trade backing top end R&B acts at Atlantic.  Bley has those skills too, and a blues groove comes through on some tracks (Harlem, Ida Lupino).  But to my mind it's sort of stylistic tweener.

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)

T-R-I-P-P-Y

The British Tabloids of the era called the album "Music for LSD users" which made it certain Pink Floyd had a hit on their hands.  The rest of the band said that only Syd Barrett was using LSD at the time this album was made; but I get the impression that he was doing enough for the rest of the band, and a couple additional bands as well.  This is probably why the lyrics are mostly cheery and whimsical covering themes about childhood and space travel; while the music tends to be more eerie.  Some of the longer jams don't work out; but overall the album is good.  In the spirit of the times there are no singles on the British version of the album ("See Emily Play" is on the US release.)
Title: Re: What are you listening to?

See Emily Play was not on any release.

They released two singles before the album came out, Arnold Layne and See Emily Play, neither was on the album.
They did in fact release one single from the album, Flaming, but it didn't chart.

And when you say some of the "longer jams didn't work out"...there was only one long jam, Interstellar Overdrive, which is recognized as a Floyd classic.

Sorry, but I'm a Floyd freak.  ;)

Yeah, I don't think many of the 60s era US releases of British bands are still issued.  (I think the US version of the Rolling Stone's Aftermath is still available and "Meet the Beatles" (US version of "With the Beatles") was released on CD, but I believe is now out of print.)

My understanding is that the British market saw singles and LPs as different media; and if you included your singles on your LP it was considered a rip-off.  In the United States singles were supposed to sell LPs so they were supposed to be included.  So that's why the versions were so different.  (The Beatles also had separate Canadian releases; I'm not really sure of the logic behind that.)

Donovan - Sunshine Superman (1966)

Somehow I missed this when going through 1966 albums.  It does actually fit in well to 1967 with tons of electric sitar and acid (one of the songs is even called "The Trip.")

Prior to the single "Sunshine Superman" Donovan was thought of as the British Dylan.  He broke free of that, but the results are sometimes mixed.  There are many gems on this album (the title track, The Trip, Season of the Witch and Celeste); but there's some hippy crap to get through as well, notably Legend of a Girl Child Linda.

The music is usually good throughout.  It's helped notably because he hired some session musician named "Jimmy Page" to play guitar for him.

Sonny Meets Hawk (1963)

This is an interesting set  - by 1963 Ornette Coleman and  John Coltrane were pushing jazz into uncharted directions, freeing the music from traditional harmonic constraints.  One of Ornette's earliest champions was pianist Paul Bley, who is on this session with the young bassist Henry Grimes, also a free player.   The headliners here are Sonny Rollins and Coleman Hawkins.  Rollins had established himself as the leading saxophone player in the late 1950s but then suddenly vanished from the scene for about 3 years.  Hawkins, on other hand, became famous playing in the 1920s era Fletcher Henderson orchestra, but unlike most of his other contemporaries, kept up interest in modern developments.  So this was a real cross-generation effort.  On some of the tracks the horn players circle each other like wary wild cats, but both of them use the setup to really stretch themselves.  The result is mixing of styles that doesn't always meld into a coherent whole but provides some interesting moments.

Tim Buckley - Goodbye and Hello (1967)

(Okay, I realize I'm going to sound like those people on the YouTube comment section of FourFiveSeconds who congratulated Kanye on finding this hot new bassist, Paul McCartney, to play on his song, but) I didn't realize that Jeff Buckley's father was also a singer/songwriter/guitarist.  The album is most folk-psychedelia with occasionally an Elizabethan sound.  Some of it is brilliant; especially the opening and closing tracks: "No Man Can Find The War" and "Morning Glory," respectively.  Some of it is pure hippy crap, especially the title track.  The biggest flaw is that Tim has the Richard Harris voice; it's hard not to imagine that the next track is going to be "MacArthur Park."

Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant (1967)

(Yes, I did know Arlo's father was also a folk singer.)

I once saw Arlo in concert.  He said that the day he finished this album he rushed home to tell his friends that he had completed the album.  They said "We have the album;" to which he replied "What do you mean 'You have the album' I just recorded it."  They sat him down and played the just released "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" for him.  He said that he was simply blown away by the album; it made everything that came before it sound obsolete, even things that had been recorded that very day...

The first side is the title track; for which the album is remembered (fairly.)  The second side is also very good; the only downside is it has the original version of The Motorcycle Song.  It's not bad, but the live version is so much better.

Nico – Chelsea Girl (1967)

I think I saw a movie about the making of this album last year.  It starred Meryl Streep as Nico, but for some reason it was called "Florence Foster Jenkins"  :unsure:.

:P

A lot of critics like this; I'll admit I don't get the appeal.  After leaving the Velvet Underground, Nico was a chanteuse in New York's coffee house scene.  This album is from that period, with songs written mostly by Lou Reed, John Cale and a then unknown Jackson Browne.  Reed, Cale, Browne and Sterling Morrison all play on the album; but the instrumentation is more subdued on this than on a VU album.  The result is as if the VU had written songs for a tone deaf torch singer... :unsure:... no, wait, that's what it actually is.  Like I said, I don't get it.

Dave Holland - Prime Directive (1999)

The English jazz bassist Dave Holland, not the English rock drummer for Judas Priest.  Holland (bassist) cut his teeth working for Miles Davis during his early electric period, on such classic albums as Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way.  A couple decades later he emerged as one of the more creative band leaders in his own right.  This is one of his stronger efforts, for the ECM label.  Somewhat unconventional lineup with vibes/miramba and Robin Eubanks (brother of Kevin) on trombone; also the fiery Chris Potter on saxophone.  Holland plays around with time signatures and shifting rhythms, and acquired a subtle sense of space from his Miles Davis days, but he also knows how to ground his collaborations with a funky bassline.  This session was followed by a string of strong albums I collected back in Oughts (when people still bought CDs) Not For Nothin and Extended Play: Live at Birdland using mostly the same lineup, and then some big band dates like Overtime.

The Doors - Strange Days (1967)

Mostly the leftover tracks from The Doors; even so, there are some great songs on this as well: Moonlight Drive, Strange Days, People are Strange and Love Me Two Times.  The final track "When the Music's Over" sounds like they were trying to remake "The End," it's just not that good.  Otherwise it's good overall; a decent follow up to "The Doors" especially considering they were both released the same year.

On the way home I picked up a cd of the 'Hounds of Love' in a thrift shop, hope it's not an omen? :unsure:

Oddly I didn't have a copy of this previously, just the vinyl. :gasp:

the pink vinyl version?

No, I think I've probably got a european or american version from that year, didn't know the uk one was pink or was that only a special edition?

I think early pressings were pink. Mine is Canadian.

Love - Forever Changes (1967)

Arthur Lee:  Do you know what would make for a groovy song name, man? "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale."
Bryan MacLean:  Woah, future legend, man

(The Whiskey-A-Go-Go, where Love got their start, is on the Sunset Strip between Clark and Hilldale.  No idea about the rest of it.)

Even going through albums as I am it's easy to forget there's a lot more to 60s music than just R&B, rock and psychedelia.  Herb Albert charted regularly in the era.  Love obviously took a lot of inspiration from him for this album and melded it with psychedelia.  The result, though, is far from being Sgt. Peppers Tijuana Brass Club Band.  While the songs are filled with gorgeous harmonies and intricate orchestrations; they grow progressively darker as the album moves on.  A lot of critics see this as foreseeing the counter-culture unraveling in the following years.  I think it's more based on Love, and Arthur Lee unraveling.  Even so, for the one last moment that they could keep it together, Love was able to turn out something amazing.

Cream - Disraeli :bowler: Gears (2017)

Allegedly a malapropism by one of their roadies who meant "Derailleur gears."  Quentin Tarantino said he got "Reservoir Dogs" from one of his customers after recommending "Au Revoir les Enfants."  Philip Glass got "Monsters of Grace" from a friend who garbled Hamlets "Angels and ministers of grace defend us."  Anyone know any others?

In any event this is the Cream album; so much better than "Fresh Cream."  The blues takes a backseat to the psychedelia and experimentation.  Jack Bruce's vocals are improved, and Clapton sings lead or in harmony in a number of places.  Some of their best songs are on this one; (Strange Brew, Sunshine of your Love, Dance the Night Away, SWLABR and (my personal favorite Cream track) Tales of Brave Ulysses), even the other songs are all  good.  (I'm not a big fan of "Mother's Lament," but that might not have been intended to be entirely serious.)

The album is definitely from 1967; the cover alone makes that obvious:

Love - Da Capo (1966)

After listening to "Forever Changes" I decided to give this one a go.  The first side is widely eclectic (opening with, of all things, a proto-punk song played on a harpsichord, "Stephanie Knows Who"), and containing Love's sole hit "Seven and Seven is."  You can sort of see what's coming next on a couple songs, notably "She Comes in Colors," but the next album could just have as easily been a jazz-rock fusion or a proto-punk album.

The second side is a long, pointless jam, "Revelation."  I'm not a fan of jam bands, and the track isn't very good.

The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed (1967)

If Knights wore white satin into combat wouldn't it get torn to shreds?  :unsure:

This really seems to have come out of nowhere; prior to this the Moody Blues had been an R&B / Mersey Beat band.  Their lead singer and bassist left, and in the confusion, the band's second album was never completed; so they owed Decca a lot of money.  Decca agreed to forgive the debt if the Moodies recorded a rock and roll version of Dvorak's "New World" symphony.  This is what they came up with instead.

This is (mostly) a template for the next six "Classic" Moody Blues albums.  The themes of childhood and the cosmos are central to the album.  The songs alternate between radio friendly pop songs and more sophisticated experiments.  There's some Indian influenced songs and Graeme Edge gets in a goofy poem or two.  Every time they tried to tamper with this formula they had issues.

This is one of the best examples of how much popular music changed in 1967.  This album would have been unthinkable in 1966; yet doesn't seem at all revolutionary in the context of 1967.  The lyrics are certainly tied to the era (Take a look out there / Planets everywhere), still it seems to work.

Edit:  Childhood and space travel were also themes covered by the contemporary Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd.  Must have been something in the water ;).  (Actually the Moodies insist they didn't do LSD until later; even after they had written their paean to Timothy Leary, "Legend of a Mind.")

Buffalo Springfield - Again (1967)

This is kind of like the White Album, where Stephen Stills and Neil Young clearly had different visions but recorded it together as a Buffalo Springfield (for the most part; Neil Young quit and rejoined the band a couple times during the recording.)  Richie Furay also gets in a couple tracks; notably the early country-rock song "A Child's Claim to Fame."  You can sort of hear Crazy Horse and CSN emerging on this album (the latter especially on "Rock & Roll Woman" on which David Crosby sings); but you can also hear the psychedelia and experimentation of the age as well.  The one real surprise is "Broken Arrow"; which is a Neil Young song (with Neil's weird lyrics from the time) but musically is much more like something Stills would have come up with.

While a mess, this does have some of Buffalo Springfield's best songs.  In addition to A Child's Claim to Fame, Rock & Roll Woman and Broken Arrow; the album also has Mr. Soul, Expecting to Fly and Bluebird.

Astrud Gilberto - Beach Samba (1967)

The legend is that Astrud had no musical training and was chosen to sing "Girl from Ipanema" simply because she was the only person in the room who could speak English.  If so she did manage to make quite a career out of it (I'm sure being married to João Gilberto helped too); she made Samba albums into the 90s.  This album is a series of poppy Bossa Nova numbers; some of them are really bad ideas (especially her hyper-cutesy version of "Didn't Have to be so Nice" sung with her six year old son.)  Most of it is good, though, her laid back scat singing is pretty cool.   :cool:

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (1967)

The soundtrack to the television special was released as a double EP in the United Kingdom.  In the United States it was released as an LP with the 1967 singles on the B side.  The result is some amazing songs, but it doesn't have the unified sound of Sgt. Peppers.  Still that they could release so many great songs just six months after Sgt. Peppers is still incredible.

I'm not a big fan of "All You Need is Love," but the other John songs (I am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever and Baby You're a Rich Man) are all excellent; some of the best in his career.  George's "Blue Jay Way" shows that he was finally starting to outgrow Indian music (although it is obviously Indian influenced, it is all done on western instruments.)  The Paul songs (Magical Mystery Tour, The Fool on the Hill, Your Mother Should Know, Hello Goodbye, and Penny Lane) are all good, but not as good as his work on Sgt. Peppers.  "Flying" (which they all worked on) is still cool.   :cool:

On the subject of Indian music on western instruments:

Hariprasad Chaurasia, Brij Bhushan Kabra, and Shivkumar Sharma - Call of the Valley (1967)

This is an instrumental suite going through the day in the life of a shepherd in Kashmir.  (Leonard Bernstein in his Children's Concert series has a great talk on this.  He introduces Telemann's Don Quixote Suite by telling the children that it could just as easily be about Superman and Jimmy Olsen.  So if you don't hear the hours of the day or a shepherd or Kashmir in this one; don't fret.)  The suite is a series of ragas, but not strictly traditional.  Sharma was both famous and infamous for his innovation in Indian music; and using the Kabra's guitar on this was really stretching boundaries (and blurred the lines between Indian pop and traditional Indian music.)  While the influence of Indian music on the west is obvious in this era; it's interesting that the west was also an influence on Indian music at the time as well.

Jaco Pastorious - Truth Liberty and Soul (1982/2017)

1982 concert originally broadcast by NPR - the masters were lost for decades, then rediscovered and remastered by the original recording engineer.  Released by Resonance Records, who specializes in these sorts of lost-and-found projects.

Pastorius suffered from bipolar disorder, which not surprisingly seriously disrupted his career and eventually led to his horrific death (beaten to death by a club bouncer).  He famously touted himself as the greatest bass player in the world, and was just about good enough to make the claim credible, at least as to the electric version of the instrument.  This concert was a big band format under his leadership, and it shows off not only his extraordinary virtuosity on the instrument, but his not inconsiderable skill as a bandleader and arranger.  Impressive lineup including Randy Brecker, John Faddis, Toots Thieleman, Lou Marini (of SNL and Blues Brothers fame), many other notable names.

Not currently available for streaming, but it can be purchased on CD and/or MP3 format.  The CD comes with a large booklet with lots of pictures and interviews.  Decent deal under $20 for 2 full CDs worth of music, if this sort of thing is your bag.  For those interested but not familiar with Jaco - try streaming Jaco Pastorius (1976) which presents his music in a small group format.

The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request (1967)

Even weirder than I remembered.  The album is overflowing with wild rhythms, weird arrangements and psychedelic experimentation.  This works out really well on some songs (especially 2000 Light Years from Home; but Gomper, She's a Rainbow, Citadel and In Another Land are all great as well.)  Even the less than spectacular songs (Sing This All Together and its reprise) are still fascinating.  I think the big problem with the album is best summed up in listening to the Stones chant "Ooh-la-la, Ooh-la-la-la-la" in "She's a Rainbow"; it's a good song, but it's not The Rolling Stones.  It's too bad they'd never take this many chances again; but they really did need to return to the blues.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Axis: Bold as Love (1967)

The Experience was under contract to release two albums in 1967, this and "Are You Experienced?"  Given their full touring schedule and Hendrix's notorious perfectionism, it's impressive they were able to do that.  Even more impressive is the growth the band experienced in such a short time.  The songs have a more cohesive sound and Jimi's songwriting improved quite a bit.

My parents saw Hendrix when they were dating; shortly before he died.  They said (don't be shocked) Jimi was drugged up out of his mind and kept breaking guitar strings throughout the show.  This isn't their sort of music; they were more folk and Motown.  My mother is still upset that my father took her to Hendrix; but she had to see The Fifth Dimension with her girlfriends.

Bill Evans - Another Time: The Hilversum Concert (1968/2017)

Another lost and found concert recording from Resonance Records.  Evans was a legend, but the strength of his recording output often rises and falls depending on supporting cast.  On this trio recording that support is as good as he ever had (including the famous 60 VV sets) with the under-heralded Eddie Gomez on bass (who scene steals on a couple solos), and the master, a then quite young Jack DeJohnette on drums, who shows off the touch the got him hired by Miles Davis for his next gig.

Lou Donaldson "The Natural Soul" (1962)

Donaldson was a Charlie Parker influenced be-bopper (gigs with Blakey, Monk, Clifford Brown etc) who went soul in the 60s.  With track names like "Funky Momma," "Sow Belly Blues" and "Nice n Greasy" there isn't any ambiguity about what you're getting here.  Strong supporting cast - including Hammond organist Big John Patton and guitar legend Grant Green - puts this album above the usual in this genre.

Grant Green - Idle Moments (1963) - a pretty typical recording session pairing Green on guitar with the house rhythm section of Blue Note Records, Joe Henderson on tenor and Bobby Hutcherson on vibes took an unexpected turn when the musicians misread the charts on the title track and all took double length solos, resulting in a relaxed yet intense groove.  Widely regarded as a classic.  be sure to listen to the alternate takes of the other tracks - they are actually the originals but had to be re-recorded to fit on an LP.

My understanding as a non-musician: sheet music usually refers to a note by note recitation of what each musician is supposed to play.  But in jazz the expectation is that a lot of the playing is improvised - so the "chart" will usually set forth the basic chord structure and time, and maybe an opening theme but it won't specify what everyone plays note by note.

BTW I liked Whiplash as a movie (great Simmons) but the musical aspects were a bit silly.

When I was performing I never heard the term chart, but I only had an entry level experience with jazz improv.  At that time (~25 years ago) I did hear the terms Head (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(music)) or Fake Book (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_book).

A head arrangement I've seen usually refer to a piece built around a set of riffs, a repeating theme or vamp, as with the Count Basie band.
Never heard of a fake book.

Sorry to pick on you Joan, but going back to Whiplash, that super special Nazi jazz band was not an improv band, but they still called them charts.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: frunk on March 20, 2018, 01:34:41 PM
It's probably referring to Chord Charts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_chart), which are usually but not strictly used for improv.

I wouldn't necessarily rely on that film for musical information.  It's supposed to be a Julliard or Berklee kind of program but the writer/director's experiences came from being in a high school band and that is really the model of this.  I don't think Berklee teaches aspiring jazz drummers to do ostentatious Gene Krupa-style solos, that went out with the swing era.  Hank Levy (who wrote the real-life Whiplash composition) was university-affiliated, but it's kind of a gimmick song, using a weird time signature.  it doesn't get played a lot in clubs . . .

The Who - The Who Sell Out (1967)

Pete was the master of half-baked concept albums.  This is supposed to be a sort of gentle mockery of London's pirate :pirate radio scene; complete with corny commercials and jingles.  The whole album seems to wander away from that in the middle of the second side and it ends with this incomplete story-song about the Red Chinese invading Israel :unsure:.  The CD release contains a number of additional tracks The Who had recorded at the time, as well as commercials they actually sang in the era.  I think that is what makes "The Who Sell Out" clever; they really were shilling for Coca-Cola and Jaguar (and probably would have for Heinz Baked Beans if they had been offered enough.)

I read that the failure of "I Can See For Miles" led Pete to abandon the singles market and instead pursue rock operas.  "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia" have a lot of great songs (and made The Who fiscally solvent) but (even by the standards of opera) the stories don't make sense; and a lot of songs are there simply to advance that story.  Personally, I think "The Who Sell Out" and "Who's Next" are their masterpieces.

Bob Dylan and the Band - The Basement Tapes (Released 1975; recorded 1967)

Recording when Bob Dylan was recovering from his motorcycle accident; and with the band from his world tour ("The Hawks", but they would become "The Band.")  This marks the beginning of a new phase in Dylan's career.  Dylan returns to folk music, of sorts, but instead of the urban early 60s "Folk Revival" style it's a broader Americana music.  The Hawks were not at all folkies, and Dylan had to convince them that the previous generations' ballads, blues and country songs were good.  Obviously he succeeded, and you can hear both "John Wesley Harding" and "Music from Big Pink" emerge (in fact the album was recorded at Big Pink.)  The real surprise here is that this is recorded at a time when almost every major rock act was making their big, candy colored, psychedelic masterpiece; Dylan, being Dylan, is writing songs about the apple suckling tree.  While these are demos recorded in someone's basement; John Wesley Harding is almost as far removed from Sgt. Pepper's as can be imagined.

It's been a long time since I've listened to Quadrophenia, but from what I remember there's a bunch of songs right in a row that I just don't care for.  The thing that I think is really clever, though, is that the drugs have their own leitmotif.

Jackie McLean - Let Freedom Ring (1962) and Destination . . . Out! (1963)

McLean was the leading alto saxophone player after Charlie Parker's death up until Ornette Coleman's emergence around 1959/60.  McLean could have reacted resentfully and retreated into his hard bop style.  Instead he started incorporating aspects of Coleman's free style quite explicitly in his own work as these album titles indicate (complete with Ornette-style ending exclamation mark in Destination Out).  In the first he even employed Coleman's occasional drummer Billy Higgins.  In the second, Bobby Hutcherson joins in, just prior to his "Out to Lunch" session with Eric Dolphy.  Destination Out in particular is a perfect ensemble effort - McLean is the clear leader of the session, trombonist Grachan Moncur III contributed 3 of the 4 compositions, Hutcherson takes effective responsibility for the time, freeing up drummer Roy Haynes.  These albums capture the experimental spirit of the "free" players, but are more approachable and easier to listen to.

McCoy Tyner Trio - Live at Sweet Basil (1989)

This band stayed together for about a dozen years, I saw them play about 5-6 times during the 1990s. Kind of surprised I never picked this up (it's OOP now but easy to find used).  Playing with Tyner is a challenge as he fills the room with sound - his solo records sound like other peoples' bid bands.  Luckily, in Avery Sharpe he had one of the best (and most unheralded) bass players of this generation.

New 'duo' for the collaboration between Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Then it turned out, when I checked online, that the concert I went to is when they first publicly announced the album. So jaded. -_-

So I'm taking my kid Timmy to the golf store to get some clubs he was given cut down to his size (I know - white people problems).  I turn on the radio, flip it over to the oldies rock :bleeding: station that isn't my favourite, but I will listen to it.  I recognize there's an early Metallica tune playing.  Although I did once see Metallica live in concert in the early 90s (which was a great show), I'm not really a huge fan.  But I turn it up, and ask Timmy what he thinks.

He really starts liking it.  He insists we listen to all of it (it turns out to be a long song), and says I need to get it on my phone so we can listen to it again.


So here we go: I found the song - Master of Puppets.  Metallica.

That's one of the few vinyl LPs I still have.  :(


edit:
listening to an mp3 of UK's Danger Money album, (my recording of the my LP)

'Rendezvous 6.02' lyrics remind me of living in London.

Quote

It's 5 o'clock
Driving down Park Lane
As London leaves
For the weekend again
Through the dark city streets
In the clinging rain
I take my car
Towards the Thames
And Waterloo

I heard The Marias new track "Cariño" on NPR's Alt Latino podcast.  The podcast routinely goes on this soul-searching "What is Latin Music?" topic; and this would be a good example as to why.  The track could be a laid back blue-eyed California soul song; except the lyrics are in Spanglish.  The lead singer said something I thought was interesting; that the various Latin American cultures are all found in the United States and that since she was raised here she could bounce back and forth between those cultures and mainstream American culture to make a "Latin" sound that didn't sound like any one nation's music in particular.

They also had a number by Twango; a Spaniard who plays surf rock.

Larry Young - Unity (1965)

First listen - don't know how I ever missed this. Larry Young plays Hammond organ, but not in the popular soul style of time like Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott and Big John Patton. More like in the style of Miles Davis' 60s era quartet.  Young would later play for Miles on Bitches Brew. Also here is legendary blower Joe Henderson on saxophone, and a young Woody Shaw on trumpet (Shaw was probably the most significant direct influence on Wynton Marsalis). What really makes this special is Elvin Jones, just coming off his long stint as Coltrane's drummer, and definitely in peak form.

Their 'I want to be in the Cavalry Song' was hilarious and cheesy and I loved it, but then they had to put this little anti-war part at the end, I guess to discourage us from actually going out and joining a pre-20th century cavalry regiment. And then they made a reprise to that song describing a nihilistic war that went so badly for this poor cavalry man that I cannot really find what war Corb Lund is talking about.

So kids, joining the cavalry is not cool. Do not even think of strapping on a curved sabre and riding off to fight for Italian Unification or Greek Independence or whatever other pre-20th century conflict you were thinking of joining. What is the Franco-Prussian War good for? Absolutely nothing!

Anyway yeah I think they are pretty good :P

This song at least ends more happily for the cavalry though:

Dizzy Gillespie - Verve/Phillips Small Group Sessions

Collection of small group performances from the 50s & 60s.  Dizzy liked the big band format but couldn't always get the economics to work. Significant variation here including some proto hard bop sessions in the early 50s with Hank Mobley, extensive forays into the bossa nova sound at the same time Stan Getz was doing it, some odd vocalese collaborations, and a bunch of scores written for or in homage to Hollywood.  Personal favorites include a 1961 concert at MOMA with Lalo Shifrin at piano (guy who wrote the Mission Impossible theme), the 1963 bossa nova album ("New Wave"), and a 1963 album with James Moody (flute) and Kenny Barron (piano) ("Something Old, Something New").  The latter two are streamable under the indicated names, the MOMA concert can be found under the title "An Electrifying Evening With the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet"

It put a smile on my face, having been in that exact situation once before - or rather, my dad was.

Up at Oro, when I was a kid (and it was still considered okay to have the kids sit in the back of a pick-up truck going down the highway - because your wife wanted to smoke in the cab, and the kids found the smoke irritating!  :lol:). Dad got his Ford pick-up stuck in the mud, called his buddy the local farmer (one of the few left) for a tow, he got stuck too. They had to get a professional tow to escape. 

That Ford was the most basic vehicle I've ever seen - it had zero frills; but it lasted an amazingly long time, until rust finally did it in.

Yes, it was awesome. I am not exactly a fan, first time I have learned they even exist was about two years ago, as my wife likes them. But the sound was great, the songs fitted the atmosphere of the venue IMHO, and the band seemed to be really into it. There was one particular saxophone improv by the keyboards guy (at least it seemed improvised) that just blew my mind. Guy was gasping for air afterwards as he was trying to speak :D

A great experience even without being an old time fan, so old those old balding people in the crowds had to have an even greater night :D Average age seemed well into the 50s.

The original, 1963, Ian and Sylvia.  Pure folk, kinda downbeat.

Different video of the We Five version.

Not only is it an incredibly catchy folk/pop song, I love it as a cultural artifact.  Part of the electrification of folk and the transition to pop/rock. In this video the lead is a kinda dumpy looking girl with a great alto voice.  Compare her look with the first video I linked.  Professional makeup, professional hair, professional outfit.  Dumpy to hottie just through production values.  The backers haven't figured out how to play air guitar convincingly in the black and white.  It's like the real life That Thing You Do.  I love the fact that an ubernerd could play rhythm guitar on a hit song in the 60s.

I checked out Metal Hammer's top 3 albums of 2017 since I'm a bit out of the loop these days. :D

1. Mastodon - Emperor of Sand
Quite all right, but I have to be in the right mindset for their progressive style, and yesterday was not such a day.

2. Myrkur - Mareridt
A Danish death metal band with, unusually, female vocals. (Wikipedia says it's her project) Just beautiful.

3. Code Orange - Forever
Loved the dirty, aggressive sound of the album. Not fond of them cutting the sound in the middle of the playtime of a song, in the middle of a chord before going on with something else. When streaming that mostly has me checking if Spotify crashed or my connection went down. Heck, the last track ends mid-word. :P



Also, you know how sometimes you used to love a song to death and when you go back to it after year it's not as good as you remembered?

Fortunately that's not the case for Nocte Obducta's Und Pan Spielt die Flöte - if you're in the mind for an epic 15 minute composition, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lb4jxEowH0

Well, judge for yourself - they were nominated for a Grammy for their song Forever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ9JVxQVQy4 (which doesn't really pull the "let's pause a few seconds" thing). I actually like their sound, reminds me a bit of the 90s.

Claudio Monteverdi - Madrigals Book 1 (Roger Wagner Madrigal Singers)

Written in 1587 when Monteverdi was 19 (his work had been published music since he was 15; not Mozart, but not bad.)  Monteverdi would be the figure who would usher in the baroque in music, largely by outgrowing the conventions of the renaissance.  This first book gives no indication of that, in fact they were considered anachronistic in their day.

Albert Dailey Trio - That Old Feeling (1978)

Convetional piano trio, but strong lineup. Dailey was classically trained and plays beautifully and with verve. I think this is his only streamable performance as a leader- his career started when this kind of music was in a commercial nadir and he didn't get to record as much as he deserved. He got some traction in the early 80s (Wynton Marsalis era) but then died of AIDS related illness a few years later.

Nearly all from 1967, I don't think from the very height of their powers, but nice versions of Drivin' South, Manic depression and Hey Joe. 

Stevie Wonder demonstrates he wasn't much of a drummer, so glad he didn't give up the day job.

Album worth the purchase for the CD cover alone:

Charlie Rouse/Red Rodney - Social Call (1984)

Still more Albert Dailey . . .

The headliners here are two musicians best known for their associations with others. Rouse was the longtime sax player for Thelonious Monk during Monk's Columbia Records period. Rodney became famous as Charlie Parker's trumpet player/gofer/protege; Parker favored him to the point that he insisted Rodney tour with him in the segregated South, where the Jewish Rodney performed under the name "Albino Red"

After Parker's death, Rodney slipped into a life of drug addiction and not-so-petty crime, including a notorious incident where he impersonated a prominent general, penetrated a military base, and made off with thousands in payroll money and top secret documents.

By the 80s Rodney was mostly dried out enough to make a comeback.  He and Rouse play it pretty straight for the most part. The album is carried by a strong rhythm section including Dailey, along with Cecil McBee and Kenny Washington, both highly in demand during that period.

Albert Dailey - Textures (1981)

Piano trio again - with good simpatico between Dailey and bassist Rufus Reid, originally classically trained.

The highlight of the album is the last track, featuring a very rare recorded appearance by Brooklyn legend Arthur Rhames.  Rhames was most famous as inspiration to Vernon Reid of Living Color and played electric guitar in various power trio formats in the 1970s.  He also played piano - the track Rachmaninoff of Giant Steps is available on Spotify.  he was good enough to get a pianist gig with Larry Coryell when Coryell's career was going strong.

On this album, however, Rhames, plays tenor saxophone . . . the man was a bona fide musical genius, but bad luck, bad timing and some personality quirks resulted in very spare recorded documentation.

By the end of the decade, both Dailey and Rhames would be dead from AIDS.  Rhames was only in his early 30s, Dailey mid-40s.

Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno on a holiday from Roxy formed a 'super group' with other well known musicians, rehearsed for a few weeks in summer, did a gig in East Anglia, the 2nd was at the Reading Festival and this last gig was in London's QE Hall on the Southbank, always loved the acoustics of that venue.

Worth a listen if you like experimental mid-70s rock, as it fights a gallant rearguard against the Punk onslaught.  :bowler:

Star Wars The Old Republic had some amazing soundtracks for its locations. My favorite remains this piece for Coruscant's Grand Plaza.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pzYkJWR1WI

It's heavy reliance on violins always reminds me of the old movie scores of Miklos Rozsa (Ben Hur, El Cid, Ivanhoe, Quo Vadis, etc.).

The Rebuilt Jedi Enclave theme from KotOR2 falls into the same category: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__gLIyeQYDU

Those themes feel like they have fallen out of time, because they're not what you would hear in modern movie soundtracks, but hark back to an earlier age of movie making (ca. 20 years before A New Hope).

Music related, NYT has an article about Laibach.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/11/arts/music/laibach-north-korea-sound-of-music.html?action=click&module=Features&pgtype=Homepage

QuoteThis Provocative Band Played North Korea. Now They've Made an Album About It.

LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — On a recent afternoon, Ivan Novak, a member of the Slovenian rock group Laibach, went for a walk in the hills overlooking the country's capital, Ljubljana. In between stops to pet passing dogs, he explained what it was like when Laibach became the first Western band to perform in North Korea.

In 2015, the group made headlines around the world — many bemused — when they played a show in the insular, communist country that consisted mostly of over-the-top covers from "The Sound of Music."

An album of the same name featuring some of those songs — including "Maria," reworked to ask, "How do you solve a problem like Korea?" — has just been released as a final document of the trip.

The technical setup for the Pyongyang show, held in a theater next to the headquarters of North Korea's secret police, left a little to be desired, Novak said.

"There was one plug for everything," he said. Its cord had to be stuck down with tape so people didn't trip over it.

North Korea's censors turned up during rehearsal to listen and demand changes, he added. "They kept telling us the songs had to be quicker: 'Happy tune! Happy tune!' "

Officials also asked if Laibach's lead singer, Milan Fras, could be dropped from the show, Nokav said, partly because his voice — a deep growl — sounded uncannily like Kim Il-sung, the grandfather of the current ruler Kim Jong-un, singing and might disturb the audience. (After negotiation, Fras ended up performing.)

"We didn't mind," Novak said of the censorship. "They're very sensitive about music. They want it to always be nice, and upbeat."

Novak continued to recount memories from the tour, making the whole process of playing North Korea sound so enjoyable and interesting that it didn't sound as if the band had been in one of the world's most repressive nations.

"Of course it's a totalitarian country," Novak said, with a shrug. "But which country is not totalitarian nowadays?"

Laibach was a surprising choice for North Korea. Since forming in 1980 in Trbovlje, a mining town, when the country was part of Yugoslavia, they have been one of Europe's most provocative bands. They started out playing bombastic industrial music, appearing on stage in old army uniforms and making heavy use of symbols and poses that suggested fascism or extreme nationalism.

Laibach is the German name for Ljubljana, used by occupying German forces and collaborators in World War II, and some in 1980s Yugoslavia thought the band were Nazi apologists or right-wing extremists. The authorities banned them from performing under that name.

"In the time of socialism, they almost provoked a revolution," said Marina Grzinic, a Slovenian philosopher who has written about Laibach since the 1980s. "They wanted to force us to think about our history," she added. "It was necessary to be shocking, to shake everything up, to force people to think."

Alexei Monroe, an academic who has also written extensively about the group, said, "They wanted to explore the relationship between art and totalitarianism." Laibach used totalitarian symbols, taking them to absurd extremes as a way of mirroring society and showing where it might be headed, he said.

Novak said the band wanted to cover "The Sound of Music" long before they visited North Korea. Learning that North Koreans love the movie gave them an excuse. "It's one of the few American films they're allowed to watch. They learn English with it, apparently," he said. It was a way of communicating across the cultural and musical divide, he added.

He denied there was any provocation behind the choice. "Climb Every Mountain," for instance, was not intended as a call for the North Korean people to rise up, he said. "It's a purely sexual song," he added, before going into a long explanation of the Freudian aspects of "The Sound of Music."

"What's the point in going to North Korea to destroy the system that is going to change by itself anyway, slowly?" Nokav said. "They live a life they believe is the best possible life, most of them."

If he wanted to provoke anyone with the trip, it was Westerners who are willing to believe anything about North Korea, he added.

A few hours after the walk, Novak went to a "Balkan sushi" restaurant in the middle of Ljubljana for dinner. "It's raw meat, basically," he said. "I'm a vegetarian, but here I eat meat."

Novak was joined by other members of the band, including Fras, who spoke in a high-pitched voice, completely different from the rumbling bass of his singing style, and Boris Benko, a singer who also took part in the North Korean trip.

"I thought that by going we'd learn something about North Korea," Benko said. "But actually when you go there, you realize you'll never know anything. Because you're never sure. Is this real what we're seeing? Is this staged? You're always questioning."

Isn't that a lot like watching, or meeting, Laibach? Benko laughed, and avoided answering the question.

Very tight trio recording featuring all originals bar one Thelonious Monk cover. The title is misleading, although drummer Marcus Gilmore is often active, the feel of the session is carefully programmed and directed.

I was listening to a podcast about music appreciation.  The instructor got to John Cage and told a story about his teacher, Arnold Schoenberg, told him that he would never be a great composer because he had no ear for harmony.  Schoenberg said that he would never be able to tunnel through the wall from competent to great.  So Cage said that he'd beat his head against the wall; which he did, and then scored it, and called it a concerto.

:P ;)

Actually that isn't too far from the truth; Cage took the beating his head against the wall as a metaphor for the sort of sonic experimentation music that he was to make.  Even after Cage had become established, Schoenberg still insisted he had no ear for harmony and was just an innovator, not a composer.

No he wasn't, I just thought it was funny; especially the part about Schoenberg calling him "Just an innovator" since Schoenberg was such an innovator himself.

Schoenberg did seem to get outshone by his pupils; Berg and Webern are at least as well known as he is.  Cage is probably much better known; if only for 4'33.

You may be interested to know that the album inspired a rather good documentary.

"Filmmaker John Pirozzi received a copy of the album while in Cambodia filming City of Ghosts and began researching the stories of the artists. Eventually, he tracked down material to create Don't Think I've Forgotten, a 2015 documentary about pre-Khmer Rouge Cambodian music which takes its name from a Sinn Sisamouth song."

Kamasi Washington - Heaven And Earth (2018)

You can't fault the man for lack of ambition - the first recording he ever released under this name was a 3+hour triple CD album modestly entitled "The Epic". This one contains a mere 2.5 hours of music, by a core nonet, supplemented by multiple lead vocalists, a full choir, a backing orchestra, and dozens of other "additional" musicians and vocalists.

Hard to categorize the results, but one thing Washington is doing is taking the lost decade of the 70s and putting back into the center of the jazz tradition. As in example, the first track is a cover of the theme song to the Bruce Lee movie "Fists of Fury", but layered on top of an early 70s funk beat, trading off blistering instrumental solos, soaring choir parts, and a badass Sam Jackson-style testifying voice over.  If it works for you, the rest of the album is worth a listen, if not skip it.

I'm not really sold on Washington as a saxophone player, but the album is a fun listen.

The Program for Friday 8 PM EST:

KRISTIN KUSTER  Dune Acres (world premiere)
CAGE  4'33"
BARBER  Violin Concerto
BERNSTEIN  Prelude, Fugue, and Riffs
BERNSTEIN  Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and additional selections

The Program for Sunday 3 PM EST:

STEVE REICH  Clapping Music
PHILIP GLASS  Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists & Orchestra
JOHN LUTHER ADAMS  Become Ocean

If I still lived in Detroit I might have gone to the Friday concert just to say I've seen 4'33" live.  Watching a performance over the interwebs feels like cheating.  The Sunday concert does look really good; I might try to catch that.

The other day my son asked me who my favorite drummer was and without really thinking I just blurted out: Billy Higgins.

That's not to say I think Billy Higgins was a more eminent musician then say Elvin Jones or Tony Williams or Max Roach. But he can mentioned in company like that without embarrassment.  Higgins' highest virtue was his adaptability - he could and did play with virtually everyone from free jazz experimentalists like Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, and  Ornette Coleman to old-school 40s era blowers like Dexter Gordon and Red Rodney to modern era guys like Joshua Redman, and everyone and everything in between. For that reason he was always in demand and his discography as a sideman is enormous.

So with that in mind, I've been listening to lots of albums with Billy Higgins on them:

David Murray Big Band - Live at Sweet Basil v1&v2 (1984) - bositerous big band under Murray's name but conducted under the deliberately erratic hand of Butch Morris. Featuring a youngish  Steve Coleman just before his M-Base stage and trumpeter Olu Dara  - better known as the father of rapper Nas. Higgins is the glue that holds this together.

Ornette Coleman - Shape of Jazz to Come  (1959) - arguably the most influential jazz album in history other than maybe Kind of Blue (same year) or Coltrane's Love Supreme. Higgins' very active but light touch was a perfect fit for Coleman's concept.

Donald Byrd - Free Form  (1962) - hard bop stalwart Byrd's attempt to respond to the new sound by mixing his usual soul and blues tracks with some more adventurous material, with assistance from Higgins, Wayne Shorter and Byrd's former roomate Herbie Hancock.  Shorter and Hancock would join Miles Davis' quintet shortly afterwards.

Sonny Clark - Leapin' and Lopin' (1962) - snappy if conventional effort from pianist Clark, his last recorded album as a leader before death by heroin. Higgins shows his hard bop chops.

Sure, if banging on a tom is energy.   ;)  Jo Jones gave the Basie band plenty of energy but with a lighter touch. 

Krupa's example did influence Art Blakey, although more through the joint influence of Chick Webb on both of them.

I think Sing, Sing, Sing was a curse for Krupa. It created expectations of showmanship that probably didn't help his development musically. When the economics of the business turned against the big band format and towards small groups he wasn't well positioned.

Hank Mobley - A Caddy for Daddy (1965)

In 1964 Blue Note records released a Lee Morgan album. That was no big deal - Morgan had made about a half-dozen albums for Blue Note before that.  But to everyone's surprise, the title track to the new album - a simple funk number called the "The Sidewinder" - became a huge hit and crashed the mainstream Billboard charts. The album became one of the best selling jazz albums ever and was by orders of magnitude the best seller Blue Note ever had, basically saving the struggling label and keeping it alive into the 70s.

After The Sidewinder, Blue Note had a house rule that every album had to start off with a crowd-pleading funk or soul tune, especially if Lee Morgan was playing on it, as he does on this one. Despite that artistic limitation and despite a very silly name, this is IMO one of Hank Mobley's best, with support from Morgan, McCoy Tyner on piano and of course Billy Higgins on drums, among others.  This is a great showcase for Higgins - Tyner comps with a strong rhythm on piano, freeing up Higgins to be more adventurous.

Joshua Redman - Wish (1993) - Redman's second recording, made with his father's friends, including guitarist Pat Metheny, former Ornette Coleman bassist Charlie Haden, and Haden's fellow Ornette alum, Billy Higgins.

George Coleman - My Horns of Plenty (1991) - a personal favorite. It's safe to say this will never be mentioned in a debate about the "X" greatest jazz albums. It's a conventional, mostly straight ahead recording of standards like Lush Life and My Romance. But its made by 4 seasoned pros led by Coleman's beautiful and elegant tone on saxophone. A great effort from Higgins, who manages to fit seamlessly into this conventional format while still being recognizable as the guy who drummed on Shape of Jazz to Come.

I've not been following the Eurovision Song Contest in years, but this year's Icelandic entry is ... uhm ... interesting. :D

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47536433

"Eurovision: Iceland embraces Hatari's bleak message for Israel contest"

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVbShUW6QBM

Translation of the lyrics:

Hate will prevail

The revelry was unrestrained
The hangover is endless
Life is meaningless
The void will get us all

Hate will prevail
Happiness comes to an end
For it is an illusion
A treacherous pipe dream

All that I saw
Tears ran down
All that I gave
Once gave
I gave it all to you

Multilateral delusions
Unilateral punishments
Gullible poor fellows
The escape will end
The emptiness will get us all

Hate will prevail
Europe will crumble
A web of lies
Will arise from the ashes
United as one

All that I saw
Tears ran down
All that I gave
Once gave
I gave it all to you

All that I saw
Tears ran down
All that I gave
Once gave
I gave it all to you

Hate will prevail
Love will die
Hate will prevail
Happiness comes to an end
For it is an illusion
A treacherous pipe dream

More Billi Higgins . . .

Dexter Gordon, Go (1962): Sound engineer Rudy van Gelder was (in)famous for not aiming at some ideal of fidelity, but rather trying to capture the experience of a club performance.  This is one of his best, really captures the intimacy of Gordon's playing. There is a little awkwardness between Higgins and pianist Sonny Clark but Higgins is nicely in sync with Gordon.

Andew Hill, Dance with Death (rec 1968 rel 1980): Listener friendly album of original compositions pianist Hill, as least as compared to his some of his more difficult earlier work (e.g. Point of Departure). Higgins nicely navigates the rhythmic complexity of Hill's music. Unfortunately, Blue Note records was not doing so well in '68 and was basically a soul jazz shop by then. Hill was not a huge seller, so this album didn't see an actual release until 1980.

Charles Lloyd, Which Way is East (rec 2001 rel 2004): Higgins' last recorded performance before his death and probably his most unusual, a series of duets with multi-reedist Lloyd in which they perform Native American chants, Tibetan and Middle Eastern folk songs, bossa nova, and various improvised music.  Higgins sings, plays guitar, a Mabreghian lute and about a dozen percussion instruments from different countries and cultures.

Just came across this one wiki with regard to the 991 battle of Maldon between the Saxons and Vikings:

Quote
The English black metal band Winterfylleth have two songs in their album The Ghost of Heritage (2008) that remembers the Battle of Maldon (track 2: "The March to Maldon" (03:46) and track 3: "Brithnoth: The Battle of Maldon (991 AD)" (7:38)).

The Norwegian / German symphonic metal band Leaves' Eyes has a song called The Battle of Maldon on their 2009 EP, My Destiny.

I have the later track and it's quite a good song.

Jimmy & Wes, Dynamic Duo (1966)

Songs of Ice and Fire with cool Wes Montgomery on his Gibson electiric guitar and with Jimmy Smith on the Hammond organ bringing the heat. The core trio is rounded out by versatile drummer Grady Tate, perhaps best known for supplying vocals for Schoolhouse Rock.  About half the tracks put the soloists in a big band format with nice arrangements by Oliver Nelson of standards like "Night Train" and "Down By the Riverside", others have salsa pioneer Ray Barretto on conga.

Bobby Hutcherson - Happenings (1966): Quartet date with Herbie Hancock.  I associate Hutcherson more with McCoy Tyner than any other pianist, but Hancock is a good match for him - similar musical sensibilities and approach.  The other album they did together the following year - Oblique - is one of my favorites.

Philip Glass Hymn to the Sun from Akhnaten

Akhnaten is sung in a recreation of ancient Egyptian, except for Hymn to the Sun; which Glass regarded as so important that it had to be sung in the vernacular of the place it's being performed and the follow up song Psalm 104 which is sung in Hebrew.  I think that would be funny to see in Israel and wonder why they were singing (almost) the same thing twice.

Josquin des Prez - Missa La Sol Fa Re Mi

The title comes from the phrase lascia fare mi (leave me alone.)  Josquin took that, transcribed it into musical notes and wrote a mass around it.  There was greater latitude for church music (in the Catholic Church) prior to the Council of Trent; sometimes even popular songs of the day were worked into masses.  Though this is the only one I know of with a punny title.

They're putting on an amazing show, with a great setlist that encompasses their entire spectrum so you won't be disappointed. Like I said i saw them recently with a similar setting at a smaller venue, so that' why I'm skipping it this time around.

Saw Flogging Molly last night at the Echo Beach stage - they played an incredible set. Some classics I never thought I'd hear live - Another Bag of Bricks, Saints and Sinners, Float; plus some off their recent album - like Crushed.

I was joking with my wife that maybe this time they would play Another Bag of Bricks; then they actually did. That alone made my night.

With some inadvertent pyrotechnics from the weather - as their set ended, lightning lit up the sky. Which was too bad as they were co-headlining with Social Distortion, which was cancelled due to weather.

I wasn't too upset - I got my money's worth and more already.

Saw King Crimson live - it was great. Three drum sets, lots of improvisational jazz-like sets, plus of course the usuals like Court of the Crimson King and 21st Century ... .

Also played Discipline, one of my favorite pieces.

My wife did not go - she's not a fan.

It is interesting just how different the experience of the live music I've seen recently has been. All were great bands, but they could not be more different.

I saw Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and that show was like being initiated into some weird cross between rock and roll and a particularly sleazy yet effective evangelist preacher's cult; he kept inviting audience members onto the stage to feel him up, while singing about sin and regret. It was odd to say the least.

I saw Flogging Molly, and that was just pure energy - spent the entire show jumping up and down, left sweaty and sore but happy.

I was King Crimson, and they literally did not acknowledge that they were playing for an audience at all - to a degree that was amusing. Like, they were performing sound tests for their instruments and gradually they just started playing. The music was often like a soundtrack to an action movie filmed in an insane asylum - my one complaint is that I'm not musician enough to understand what they were doing. It often seemed that they were doing some musically very clever things, playing in different time signatures and stuff, but that went straight over my head - it's like watching people playing a particularly clever game of chess when you don't know the rules.

I didn't buy it (my parents did), but I listened the heck out of Heartbeat City in the mid-80s on my Walkman.

Yeah, also surprised to hear he was that old.  Looks like he bummed around in music obscurity from the mid-60s to the mid-70s before finally hitting it big with The Cars.

Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding (1967)

Dylan's first released album since "Blonde on Blonde" (he had recorded a number of tracks with the Band which would eventually become "The Basement Tapes") and the first released after his motorcycle accident.  This is the work of a very different artist: less angry, less cynical and less funny.  The work carries on in the "Americana" or "Roots" genre like on "The Basement Tapes" but with denser and more cryptic lyrics.  The lyrics borrow heavily from the Bible (mostly from the apocalyptic books); the song have a whole cast of characters: the joker, the thief, the wicked messenger, the priest Eli, the lonesome hobo, the poor and wicked immigrant, Saint Augustine and Thomas Paine and then it all ends with the country ballad "Be My Baby Tonight."  It's a wonderfully weird experience and, lyrically, one of Dylan's best.  The music is sparse and, except for "All Along the Watchtower" and "Be my Baby Tonight," largely forgettable.  It's not my favorite Dylan album; but it's still good, and (like all his best) improves upon repeated listening.

Martians have infiltrated earth!  :o  They're already among us! :o  They're here to do the cha cha cha.  :o :o :o

I heard about this one this morning on NPR's Alt.Latino podcast.  This has to be the most 50s concept for a song ever; with both alien invasion and Latin invasion.  Tito Rodriguez is interesting; some of his work is every bit as blistering as Tito Puente (did you have to be named Tito to lead a Latin Jazz band in those days?  The CIA should have encouraged Josip Broz Tito to give it a go,) other pieces are as MOR as Glenn Miller.

Cohen's first album (he had already been established as a poet and novelist at the time.)  This is another critic's favorite that I don't get.  The lyrics are good throughout and I like some of the songs (especially Suzanne), but most of them aren't interesting; the music is sparse and the tunes aren't memorable.  This might have worked out better as a collection of poems than an album.

This is the third significant Coltrane release since 2018, not bad considering he's been dead for 50 years.

It consist of 5 songs (8 takes) total originally recorded in June 1964 for a soundtrack to a film by Quebec filmmaker Gilles Groulx.  Groulx himself has been dead for 25 years but the release of the material was held up by conflicting copyright claims. 

Musically the release is not as significant at last years Both Directions At Once - a true "lost album" that forms a kind of missing link between his quartets' early 60s work and mid-60s masterpieces, or the extraordinary "Bootleg" release of Coltrane's last work with the Miles Davis Quintet that also came out last year.  Although the music on these tapes was recorded mere months before the Love Supreme recording sessions, there is nothing that ambitious here.  It's a few older tunes that were mostly out the band's repertoire at that point, played in a relaxed, informal style, giving the feel of a club date.  But that lack of ambition is the charm of the set. It's an opportunity to hear this small group- arguably the greatest ever assembled - at the very height of its powers, without having to listen through 20 min + tracks or more "difficult" passages.  Casual listeners can probably skip the extra tracks of "Village Blues" and the weaker "Like Sunny" leaving a very manageable 20-25 minutes of music in total, including a first track performance of "Naima" that forms a nice contrast to the original 1959 recording on Giant Steps

Ginger Baker's Air Force, Air Force 2 (1971)

British Afro-funk with some west African influences.  Ends up sounding more dated than Baker's earlier and more conventional work with Cream and Blind Faith.  Good musicianship though.

Ginger Baker Trio, Going Back Home (1994)

This is more a Bill Frisell album marketed under Ginger Baker's name, although Baker does contribute 3 originals. An English blues-rock drummer is not an obvious match for Frisell's eclectic mix of musical Americana, but in the context of the album it works pretty well, with Baker providing some propulsive energy to Frisell's laid-back style.  Charlie Haden is outstanding on bass and also supplies 4 songs.

That's a good take on Baker's playing, if you're adventurous and want to hear an unusual example, try listening to his contribution to the Hawkwind album 'Levitation' .The drive and tightness he instilled probably makes it their best album.  :bowler:

"Diggy Diggy Hole" became a running joke on their channel, with fans doing remixes etc.

In 2014 they released this full dwarven work song "Diggy Diggy Hole", with animated video, on their channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytWz0qVvBZ0

Dick Justice - Henry Lee (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gSLIc9h5l2k)

This is the first song on the Anthology of American Folk Music; and, fittingly, a murder ballad.  The English ( :bowler:) and especially the Scots (:scots:) loved their murder ballads and the tradition spread to Appalachia (:Canuck:) (and beyond "Frankie and Johnny" is probably from New Orleans.)

Dick Justice (yes, his real name was "Richard Justice") was a coal miner from West Virginia who recorded about a dozen songs in the early 1930s.  Unusual for a white man at that time and place he was heavily influenced by black music.  In my opinion his best song is Cocaine (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c4VaCRsgFVU), an upbeat remake of Luke Jordan's Cocaine Blues. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BxxhKg3ks)  Each verse seems to deal with a hardship the narrator is suffering (having to have his woman steal food, his love interest gets arrested, then all his furniture gets repossessed) but then ends with the upbeat "I'm simply wild about my good cocaine!"  Unfortunately some of the lyrics are a product of their times, but otherwise it's a simply marvelous song.

Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul (1966)

I didn't know "Try a Little Tenderness" was a Tin Pan Alley standard (first recorded in 1932 by the Ray Noble orchestra.)  Still, I think it will always be an Otis Redding song.

I read that ""Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)" came about because Otis had a tendency to sing along with the horn line.  It's funny that Arthur Conley chose that for his "Spotlight" in "Sweet Soul Music."

I think there's a few more duds here than there were on "Otis Blue," (especially his cover of "Day Tripper"); but overall a great album.  He was obviously becoming more comfortable as a songwriter at this point; and other than "Try a Little Tenderness" the best songs are the ones he collaborated on.

Nelstone's Hawaiians - Fatal Flower Garden (1930)

Another from The Anthology of American Folk Music, this is a variation on the anti-Semitic ballad "Sir Hugh."  In the original a little boy throws his ball over a wall into a flower garden.  A Jewish woman entices him in with apples, a gold ring and a diamond and then, after he enters the house, she chops him up.  In this version it's a Gypsy woman and the grosser details of his dismemberment are left out.  I think I was in high school before I learned that Gypsies really existed and weren't just from story books.  From the standards of the late middle ages in England (when scholars think the ballad originated), Jews would have been similarly fantastic - they had been expelled in the first half of the 13th century.

The song reminded me of one of my favorite skits from The Muppet Show. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=fjyzKOq8fI4)

Nelstone's Hawaiians were actually from southern Alabama.  The "Hawaiian" in their name refers to the Hawaiian style of steel guitar they played.  They're best known for writing the rockabilly standard "Just Because."

The Butterfield Blues Band - The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw (1967)

Paul Butterfield leaved Chicago for Detroit?  :unsure:

For this album The Butterfield Blues Band expanded to have a horn section; giving it a jazzier R&B influenced sound.  The opening track is indeed a Motown song: Marvin Gaye's "One More Heartache."  It's a good cover, Gaye's version sounds like a ripoff of his own "Ain't That Peculiar;" Paul Butterfield manages to make it his own song.  There's some psychedelic influence as well, notably "Droppin' Out" and "Tollin' Bells."  They do have a version of "Born Under a Bad Sign," but it's not as memorable as Cream's version.

Clarence Ashley - The House Carpenter (1930)

A variation on the Scottish (:scots:) Ballad "The Daemon Lover" about a woman who forsakes her husband (a house carpenter, hence the name) and her child for her former lover.  They go off to sea and then drown.  In many versions (though not this one) it's made explicit that the devil is her lover and they're headed to hell.

Ashley was a singer from Appalachia, who has the distinction of being the first to record "House of the Rising Sun."  He had performed in coal mining camp and worked as an entertainer in medicine shows.  When the Depression hit (and the government started regulating what could be sold as medicine) he ended up as a trucker.  Fortunately he lived long enough to be rediscovered during the folk revival.

Ashley played his banjo "Clawhammer" style (that is all strings are strummed downward) giving it a distinct style.  He has a really good version of "The Cuckoo Bird" on the Smithsonian collection "Classic Mountain Songs."

Coley Jones - Drunkard's Special (1929)

Variation of the Scottish (:scots:) Ballad "Our Goodman" and one in which no one dies.  That alone qualifies it as a cheerful song by Scottish standards.  The ballad is actually a humorous one (it might have originated in Ireland or England): a drunken man returns home and discovers evidence of his wife's infidelity; for which she offers far-fetched excuses.

Jones was from Texas :alberta: and most of his work (or at least all the rest that I could find) was talking blues.  Late in his career his band included a young T-Bone Walker.

The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers (1968)

They fired David Crosby midway through; they went through drummers as quickly as the Spinal Tap; and they discovered the Moog (:o).  Yet despite all that they managed to make a decent (if somewhat brief) album.  The songs and the sound are more consistent than on "Younger than Yesterday".  I prefer the singles on "Younger than Yesterday"; but there's also no crap like "Mind Garden" on this one.  The album sounds like The Byrds shot at making their psychedelic masterpiece.  The next album, "Sweetheart of the Rodeo," also released in 1968 must have been quite a shock to their fans.

Weirdly there are no Bob Dylan covers on the "Notorious Byrd Brothers" (a staple on every other album except "Fifth Dimension"), but there are two Goffin/King songs ("Going Back" and "Wasn't Born to Follow.")

Miles Davis - Nefertiti (1968)

Davis's last acoustic album; you can hear the fusion sound starting to emerge, but it's still mostly bop (or it sounds like bop to me; I'm hardly a jazz expert.)  There's some weird ideas on this one, particularly the opening track in which the horn section constantly repeats their line and the rhythm section solos.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?
Post by: The Minsky Moment on January 14, 2020, 02:35:12 PM
Nefertiti is a post-bop album - the players are improvising freely without regard to chord changes, but while keeping within a recognizable blues structure rhythmically and tonally.  So it's not really bebop anymore but it's not completely "free" either. 

As you notice in the title track, the rhythm section and horn section switch roles - with the horns providing a steady rhythm over which the rhythm section (mostly Tony Williams on drums) improvises.  In a way this is a bit of throwback to the 30s era Basie era "head arrangements" where the horns help establish the rhythm with a repeating melodic riff, although the Davis quintet goes well beyond this.

ESP is an earlier album by the same quintet but a little less ambitious and more listener friendly.  One of my favorite Miles albums.

Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum

While Hendrix, Cream, and Iron Butterfly had previously experimented with a heavier sound; Blue Cheer had a secret weapon, their amplifiers went up to eleven. 

Both a pioneer of heavy metal and noise rock Blue Cheer (named after a variety of LSD, which in turn was named after a laundry detergent) if not one of the greatest, was certainly one of the loudest bands of the 60s.  They're like the early incarnation of Black Sabbath (though much more talented musicians) in that they're essentially a blues band with a really heavy sound (going so far as to do metal versions of Mose Allison's "Parchment Farm" and the blues standard "Rock me Baby.")

Aretha Franklin - Lady Soul

Bigger, bolder and more soulful than "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Loved You."  This one has so many great songs on it ("Chain of Fools", "You Make Me Feel Like an Natural Woman" and "Sweet Sweet Baby Since You've Been Gone" are the singles); yet it's hard to overlook her cover the Young Rascal's "Groovin."  Her version isn't terrible; but it's definitely not the right song for the Queen of Soul.

Dr. John - Gris-Gris (1968)

Brilliant, strange and undoubtedly the best album about New Orleans ever to come out of Los Angeles.  Mac Rebennack was struggling in his new city until he got a number of other New Orleans exiles together, adopted the persona of a voodoo priest and made an album that sounded like it came straight out of a voodoo ceremony in the swamp.  It was a perfect concept at the height of psychedelia.

The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat (1968)

No Warhol; no Nico and no holds barred - this is the VU at their rudest, rawest and loudest.  The album opens with an ode to amphetamines and ends with a seventeen minutes of noise rock jam about a failed drag queen orgy.

There's one song, The Gift, that does remind me of Andy Warhol.  The band jams on the right speaker channel, while on the left John Cale narrates a shaggy dog story about a man who decides to mail himself to his girlfriend.  That reminded me of "The Chelsea Girls" (1966) which is done in split screen, with Nico on one side and the "Story" playing out on the other.

Hank Mobley - Reach Out! (1968)

Wes Montgomery was one of the greatest guitar players the world has seen, but he spent the last couple years of his short life playing crap versions of popular tunes like "California Dreaming".  Wes didn't play on this record (George Benson did), but this was a similarly ill-advised release from Hank Mobley, trying to stay commercially relevant with covers like the title track and a pretty dire version of Goin' Out of My Head (also covered by Wes a year earlier). The three Mobley originals are pretty good, though, with Benson putting forth some pretty solid work on Looking East and Good Pickings, and Woody Shaw, the finest trumpeter of the era, taking charge throughout. Still there is no shortage of Mobley albums from this and other periods, so call this one a miss.

Otis Redding - The Dock of the Bay (1968)

Otis wasn't even qualified to join The 27 Club; he was 26 when he died, but what a legacy he left behind.  Like Tupac he continued to release albums long after he died (a total of 5 studio albums and 10 live albums.)  This is the first; it consists of mostly singles and b-sides that weren't on any of his studio albums.  The title track was unfinished at the time he died (the whistling at the end was just a place holder, he was actually planning to write more lyrics.)  It doesn't really flow together very well; but it does have a number of my favorite Otis Redding songs (Tramp, Huckle-Buck, Ole Man Trouble, Glory of Love as well as Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay.)

Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra - Nancy & Lee

Some of the of the songs aren't very good ideas (especially their cover of "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"); but Hazlewood's own compositions are all solid (I think both "Summer Wine" and "Some Velvet Morning" are brilliant).  He was influenced by both psychedelia and cowboy music; and the result is somewhere between "Forever Changes" and the soundtrack to the "Dollars" trilogy.  Their voices, though worlds apart, work together well on his songs at least.

While not on this album Nancy Sinatra's biggest hit, "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" is a Hazlewood composition.  He had wanted to sing it himself; but she talked him out of it.

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention - We're only in it for the Money (1968)

Sarcastic pop songs that skewer both the bourgeois and the counter culture in equal measures followed by portraits of outsiders and freaks interspersed with musique concrete experiments filled with all sorts of tape effects and with a cover (and title) which mocks The Beatles; this album has it all.  It's a breathtaking experience from beginning to end; it's not going to be for everyone, but I think this is Frank Zappa's best.

The United States of America - The United States of America (1968)

Quite possibly the only art/noise/electronica rock band ever influenced by jug band music; this album is all over the place.  Some songs are brilliant (especially Hard Come Loving); some are a product of their times (notably the trippy "Cloud Song" or the Kinks-like "Stranded in Time,") and some are... different, such as the Burt Bacharach sounding "Love Song for the Dead Che" (once again HUAC let us down  :(.)

The album is far ahead of its time in terms of electronic music and noise effects; even Kraftwerk wouldn't be formed until 1970.  It's also notable for not using guitars; to the best of my knowledge a first for a rock and roll band.  The album was a critical success, but a commercial flop and the band split up soon after its release.

Laura Nyro - Eli and the Thirteenth Confession (1968)

Sort of like "Tapestry" in that Nyro is better known as a songwriter than a singer (and she does sound a little like Carole King); but it's also sort of a fusion R&B/Jazz/Rock album as well, sort of like Blood Sweat and Tears (in fact the BS&T hit "When I Die" is one of her compositions.)  This album has the original versions of "Eli's Comin'" and "Stoned Soul Picnic."  (It's too bad her neologism "Surry" never caught on.)

Strangely, for such a great songwriter, he own biggest hit was a cover of King and Goffin's "Up on the Roof."

Scott Walker - Scott 2 (1968)

Walker's career went through a long evolution, from teenage heartthrob to avant-garde musician.  At this point in his career he wanted to be Jacques Brel... though I'm not really sure why.  :unsure:

;)

This is better than most MOR pop music from the era.  The Brel compositions as well as Walkers own are quite a bit edgier than what one would expect from, say Johnny Mathis or Andy Williams.  He isn't as smooth as those two either; his voice is more akin to Richard Harris or Tim Buckley (though he does have the wisdom to rein it in, sometimes.)

Even by the standards of 1968, this one is out there.  It's a mixture of Sitar music, Victorian era music hall songs, Brahmanic hymns, and Celtic renaissance festival music with lyrics about love, life, riddles, mitosis, mysticism and minotaurs.  They clearly were following their own vision; but somehow it all works together.

Chick Webb, Strictly Jive (1934-1939)

For some reason Hollywood never got around to the extraordinary story of Chick Webb and Ella Fitzgerald. Webb, the energetic drummer-leader of the hottest band in 1930s Harlem (saying a lot), his small stature the result of the spinal tuberculosis that eventually killed him in his 30s, formed a powerful human and artistic bond with Fitzgerald, a proverbial teenage ugly duckling fleeing an abusive stepfather and stints in reform school. By 1939, the dying Webb told bandmates "to take care of Ella."  Ella didn't need the help - when Webb died, she took over the band as leader and churned out hit after hit.

For those used to the late 50s/early 60s "song book" recordings, Ella's youthfulness is striking on these recordings, but the diamond perfect voice is still easily recognizable.  However, the strength of this collection are the instrumentals that reveal why the Webb band was so highly reputed. If lacking the compositional sophistication of Duke Ellington, the Webb band made up for it with their rhythmic energy and their depth of first rate soloists.  Webb's own skill as a drummer is clearly discernible in these good quality recordings (Decca) and you can hear why all contemporaries from Jo Jones to Gene Krupa held him in awe.

Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land (1966)

First time I've heard this - not sure how it is possible I missed this given that it is a 60s era Blue Note production with the very top talent available - Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman, Grant Green, Billy Higgins and Morgan himself

Morgan cut his teeth in a few late 50s albums with Shorter before they both joined Art Blakey. Morgan soon acquired a heroin addiction and vanished for 2 years.  He remerged partially dried out in late 63 and recorded two sessions with Blue Note - the first in December and the second in February 1964.  The second one - which would become Search for the New Land -  is the more ambitious and (IMO) superior production.  However, the first one was released first and contained a first track called the "Sidewinder" that became an enormous hit, climbing high into the Billboard pop charts.  That one record would keep Blue Note alive for a few extra years, but would also prompt the label to focus on finding more catchy hits. The effect was to delay release of the Feb 64 session, which did not have any such obvious prospects, for more than 2 years.

That said - it's a very fine album if a bit unusual.  The first and title track runs nearly 16 minutes and is Morgan's mostly successful effort at doing his version of a John Coltrane composition, with Hancock taking on the McCoy Tyner role. "Mr. Kenyatta", on the other hand could easily fit into the oeuvre of the second Miles Davis quintet, two-fifths of which are present here. The remaining three tracks are more typical Morgan hard boppish offerings. The record also did pretty good commercially, if not anywhere near "Sidewinder" popularity, breaking into the Billboard 200.

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things (1961)

McCoy Tyner died over the weekend, one the last great living players of the postwar American jazz golden age.  Among the highest tier of latent, Sonny Rollins - retired for years now - is still alive, as is Herbie Hancock. A few good sidemen too like Jimmy Cobb - still playing nicely at 91, Roy Haynes - still not officially retired at age 94 and with a Grand Theft Auto DJ credit to his name, and Reggie Workman and Pharoah Sanders, who I believe are now the last living people to have recorded with John Coltrane in a significant role.

My Favorite Things was Coltrane's commercially most successful work - the album sold about as many copies as Love Supreme, and the title track, despite its 13+ minutes of length, became one of Coltrane's only well-played singles.  Of course the song itself was written by Rogers & Hammerstein, and the arrangement and performance was as much due to Tyner as anyone else.  A lot of what would become Tyner trademarks are here including the percussive ostinato patterns played in the left hand and the use of modal harmonies.

Tyner didn't become as famous a name in the wider world as Coltrane, Miles Davis or Hancock - either sadly or luckily there is no Tyner equivalent to "Rockit". But if you play a keyboard instrument and attend an jazz academy, you will learn Tyner - his style has been foundational for decades now.

McCoy Tyner - Trident (1975)

On the surface a gimmicky 70s album where Tyner plays a bit on harpsichord and celeste.  Past the surface though is a high horsepower piano power trio reuniting Tyner with fellow Coltrane alumnus Elvin Jones.  Ron Carter does some of his best playing ever on this album, saying a lot given that he played bass for a good part of a decade in Miles Davis' best quintet lineup. The celeste parts are mostly a distraction, but the harpsichord works as a nice intro and coda on the first track.

Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends (1968)

The first side is a concept album, but every bit as dark and brooding as "Sgt. Pepper's" is bright and sunny.  The record company agreed to pay for their studio expenses, figuring a folk duo wouldn't really rack up the bills; but they did.  The arrangement allowed Simon and Garfunkel to experiment and create a much more layered sound than on any of their previous albums.  They also took much more time putting the album together (it had been two years since "Parsely, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme") and Paul Simon was smoking an awful lot of hashish; which made him super depressed giving rise to the albums themes of mortality, emptiness and loss.

The second side is mostly singles that had been released since 1966.  It features some of their best songs (Mrs. Robinson, Hazy Shade of Winter) and others that critics have since tried to read profound meanings into (At the Zoo, Punky's Dilemma.)  It's not bad, but nowhere near as breathtaking an experience as the first side.

Reminds me did you read the story on the Universal fire?  Supposedly the Chess masters were heavily impacted.

No, I missed that story (here (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-master-recordings.html) if anyone is interested.)  That does sound terrible.

The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle (1968)

No, that's not a misspelling (or at least I didn't misspell "Odyssey", their record designer did.)  The Zombies had fallen on hard times and decided to make one final record; but what a final record.  In addition to their biggest hit1.) "Time of the Season," the album features far and away the most sophisticated compositions of The Zombies career.  It's all the more amazing in that they had almost no studio time and so little budget that the band had to pay for their own stereo mix.  By the time "Time of the Season" charted in the United States the band had been broken up for two years.  (I see from Wikipedia that there were a couple fake "Zombie" bands that toured the United States in 1969; one featuring Dusty Hill and Frank Beard soon to be of ZZ Top.)

1.)  In the United States (and Canada), "Time of the Season" did not chart in the United Kingdom.

There were rumors about it for years.  The first time it came to my attention was about 8 years when I got a collection of Ahmad Jamal's recordings on the Argo label. The set was delayed and the explanation given was that it had to be pieced together from a variety of analog and digital sources in various archives because the original analog masters were destroyed in the fire.  At the time it didn't seem totally out of whack with UMG's spin because Argo wasn't exactly a high-profile label, even in the postwar war jazz niche.  But there was some speculation that the fire might have been worse than indicated - see eg  - http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/59041-2008-universal-fire-how-many-argo-masters-burned-up/ - and that speculation turned out sadly to be understated.

Peter Brötzmann - Machine Gun (1968)

Several years ago I heard a story on NPR about  a trend called wyatting, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoJYM3krDWQ) which is what happens when the Apple store runs out of the latest incarnation of the iPhone wyatting.  Now that many bar jukeboxes are connected to the internet they offer an enormous collection of music including some off the wall tracks.  Wyatting (named after Robert Wyatt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wyatt)) is putting on the track that you think will clear the bar out quickest.  This album; especially the title track, would be my pick for a wyatting session.

It does improve upon repeated listens, (the first time I heard it I thought it was the jazz equivalent of a mugging), but it's still way more avant-garde than I am (even though it was released before I was born.)

WEIRD TIMES INDEED...

AS THE NEWS SEEMS TO TURN EVER MORE GRIM BY THE HOUR, WE'VE FOUND OURSELVES VACILLATING WILDLY BETWEEN FEELING LIKE THERE MAY BE HOPE AT TIMES TO UTTER DESPAIR – OFTEN CHANGING MINUTE TO MINUTE. ALTHOUGH EACH OF US DEFINE OURSELVES AS ANTISOCIAL-TYPES WHO PREFER BEING ON OUR OWN, THIS SITUATION HAS REALLY MADE US APPRECIATE THE POWER AND NEED FOR CONNECTION.

MUSIC – WHETHER LISTENING TO IT, THINKING ABOUT IT OR CREATING IT – HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE THING THAT HELPED US GET THROUGH ANYTHING – GOOD OR BAD. WITH THAT IN MIND, WE DECIDED TO BURN THE MIDNIGHT OIL AND COMPLETE THESE NEW GHOSTS RECORDS AS A MEANS OF STAYING SOMEWHAT SANE.

GHOSTS V: TOGETHER IS FOR WHEN THINGS SEEM LIKE IT MIGHT ALL BE OKAY, AND GHOSTS VI: LOCUSTS... WELL, YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

IT MADE US FEEL BETTER TO MAKE THESE AND IT FEELS GOOD TO SHARE THEM. MUSIC HAS ALWAYS HAD A WAY OF MAKING US FEEL A LITTLE LESS ALONE IN THE WORLD... AND HOPEFULLY IT DOES FOR YOU, TOO. REMEMBER, EVERYONE IS IN THIS THING TOGETHER AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN SOON.

David Murray, Special Quartet (1990)

The title explains it all - this session matches Murray and avant-gardist bassist Fred Hopkins with half the classic Coltrane Quartet (McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones). Post-Coltrane, Tyner didn't often record with front rank tenors (the first Blue Note album with Joe Henderson a big exception); he spent most the 80s and 90s in either trio or Big Band formats or various configurations with Bobby Hutcherson (vibes). Murray doesn't sound anything like Coltrane but he has a similar energy, spiritualism and urge to push boundaries.  Tyner lets Murray run unleashed on chaotic originals like Hope/Scope, providing a semblance of harmonic support, while asserting himself on some of the more conventional material.

The Delfonics - La La Means I Love You (1968)

In just a decade Philadelphia went from the Dell Vikings to the Delfonics; what other evidence do you need that the 60s were a disaster?   :(

;)

This is one of the first albums of what would become the Philadelphia Soul sound; complete with lush orchestrations (going so far as to include pizzicato strings on one track) and gorgeous harmonies.  Thom Bell (who would go on to work with The Spinners and The Stylistics) wrote a number of the tracks, including the title track.  On the other hand a lot of the album is still stuck in the mid-60s; with some tracks by Burt Bacharach, and covers of "Hurt So Bad" and  "A Lover's Concert" (hits for Little Anthony and the Imperials and The Toys, respectively.)

Edit:  You probably know the song "La-La Means I Love You" from Jackie Brown.  That and "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" are both by the Delfonics (and both written by Thom Bell.)  Pam Grier plays one of those for Robert Forster; he get's their greatest hits and later get's the  :huh: look from Samuel L. Jackson when the other one plays on Forster's car radio.

Small Faces - Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake (1968)

Other than "Itchycoo Park," Small Faces never really made it big in the United States (I believe they were a much bigger deal in the UK); and I had never heard anything else by them.  This album, while in the spirit of the times, is a fine example of British psychedelia.  They lyrics weren't quite as sharp as The Kinks, and they were nowhere near as weird as The Incredible String Band (Small Faces music hall sing-a-long is about a prostitute; TISB is about a Minotaur), but they were somewhere in that realm.  The second side of the album is a fairy tale narrated by Stanley Unwin about a boy named Stan and his friend a fly as they go in search of what happened to the other half of the moon.  Like I said it was in the spirit of the time.

This is the last album as Small Faces; Lead Singer / Lead Guitarist Steve Marriott would leave the band to form Humble Pie and the remaining Small Faces would replace him with Rod Stewart and Ron Wood to form Faces.

I read that Small Faces were Mods, they got their name because "Face" was a leader in Mod circle (the Who's fan club was "The Hundred Faces," hence that line in "Bell Boy") and they were all short.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Creedence Clearwater Revival (1968)

Fortunately they changed their name (from the Golliwogs) before their first album.  John Fogerty's influences (which Allmusic rightly describes as Stax, Sun and the swamp) were all set by this point; but his songwriting was still weak.  The hits from the album (Susie Q and I Put a Spell on You) are covers.  "Porterville" (a non-charting single) does show what's to come, but CCR was still doing lo-o-ong solos at this point, sort of like a swampy Grateful Dead :Canuck:.

They'd keep a couple long jams on the next album "Bayou Country"; but they'd more or less die out by "Green River" (both released in 1969.)

Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison (1968)

A high point in Johnny Cash's career.  (His career had a number of low points as anyone who has seen "Walk the Line" knows; and "Walk the Line" didn't even include The Chicken in Black (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTP9__vi3d4) or his career as a Taco Bell Pitchman. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcWC-EclPAo))  The songs all about prison and prisoners range are at times funny, tragic, moving, spiritual, heartbreaking and wry.  Cash's rapport with the prisoners really shines through on the album.  I think this is both Cash's best album and one of the best live albums.

So I'm using the quarantine to reconnect with classical music again a bit.

And Valer Sabadus is wonderful as titular Xerxes. :wub:

Branford Marsalis Quartet -  The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul (2019)

Latest COVID project is listening to the "JazzTimes" critics 10 ten albums for each year in the decade - starting with #1 in 2019.

Branford doesn't record that much for a musician of his eminence.  3/4 of this quartet has been together since 1999, the current drummer joined in 2009.  The quartet recorded only 3 times from 2009-18, including one collaboration with singer Kurt Elling.  So an album release merits attention. The last purely instrumental release (all the way back in 2012!) was called "Four MFs Playin' Tunes" and that would have worked just as well for this one because that's what it is.  Branford is the prima inter pares of this group, but this is an ensemble effort. I have no exposure to drummer Justin Faulker outside of his work with this group, but he really shines here.  It's a typical Branford effort in that there is no real core sound or style, he draws from the entire history of the music.  It really is 4 guys playing tunes. Is it the best jazz album of 2019?  We'll see but you could do a lot worse.

Dave Holland/Zakir Hussain/Chris Potter, Good Hope (2019)

Very strong trio lineup - Holland played bass on Miles Davis' In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew and has been one of the best small group and big band leaders over the past 20 years. Potter is one of the best tenor sax players of the era.  Hussain is on tablas; he is best known for prior work with John McLaughlin in Shakti and collaborations with Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead.  The ensemble playing is terrific, but for me the album lacked pizzaz, especially coming after the energetic and eclectic B Marsalis quartet recording

Chick Corea, Christian McBride, Brian Blade, Trilogy 2 (2019):  as indicated second effort from this group and a strong one.  Generational mix.  McBride and Blade played as youngsters in a quartet with Joshua Redman and Brad Mehldau in the mid 90s; all four have had successful careers as leaders.  Corea was significant part of the Miles Davis electric era in the late 60s/early 70s and started a fusion band of his own in the 70s, but always has shown best doing inside/outside on acoustic piano.  Here it is mostly inside.  My favorite of 2019 so far, though admittedly I'm soft for piano trios.

Camila Meza and the Nectar Ochestra, Ambar (2019). Meza is a Chilean singer who also plays electric guitar in a Pat Matheny style; she is backed by an octet with strings.  Not clear whether this is jazzy pop or jazz with a pop sensibility - this album crossed over successfully enough to get a US release from Sony.  This was the first I have heard of Meza; superficially she reminds me a bit of Esmaralda Spalding, another youngish singer-instrumentalist (double bass) but while Spalding's style is rooted more in streetwise R&B/funk sound, Meza opts more for pop romanticism. Personally I prefer Spalding's work and not just because she cost Justin Bieber a grammy.

I digress .  . .  Meza's performance is excellent both with voice and guitar and she melds very well with the band.  It's not really my bag but  I am not surprised there seems to be market demand for her work.

The piano pieces (especially the ones with Pharaoh Sanders) are all great.  Alice has a wonderfully bluesy sound and makes an excellent use of glissando.  The harp pieces... :unsure:... :unsure:... I don't get.

(Literal harp, not harmonica.)

Sav - I have nothing against Alice in principle or as a musician but for me Coltrane with Tyner is Thanksgiving without turkey.

Anyways, if you dig Alice Coltrane and late period JC, Jamie Saft is a self-described Alice disciple - Ticonderoga (2015) was a kind of tribute album to the Second VV Coltrane session, and Hidden Corners (2019) also evokes the Alice sound.  Hidden Corners has become one of my recent favorites and it's not as "difficult" as Ticonderoga although if you've listened to Brotzmann you can handle both.

Saft also had a release where Iggy Pop did some guest vocals - Loneliness Road (2017) - I'd recommend that one to everyone.

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes (1968)

Tropicália meets psychedelia; the results are pretty good though very weird.

The only OM albums I've listened to are the Best Of and Tecnicolor, a 2000 release of music recorded in 1970 and subsequently thought lost.  It was supposed to be an attempt at an album for the English speaking world, and it's quite a fascinating listen.

Iron Butterfly - Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida :punk: (1968)

Side one sounds like generic psychedelic music written by a random hippy band from California (there's even a song called "Flowers and Beads" on it.)  Side two is the legend (not necessarily the legend that they were all too stoned to sing the words or end the song, though I'm not saying that isn't a possibility).  It's every bit as long, loud, long, incomprehensible, self indulgent and long as I remember.  The three minute single version doesn't come close to doing it justice.  Iron Butterfly would never have as big a hit, or anything that sounded like it.

Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt Suites

Grieg created two suites out of his incidental music to the incidental music he wrote to Ibsen's play Peer Gynt.  The first is much better known beginning with the Morning Mood and ending with In the Hall of the Mountain King.  The second suite is decent, but really can't compete with the first.

Cándido Camero - Cándido featuring Al Cohn (1956)

NPR's Alt Latino podcast had an interview on with Cándido a few weeks back.  He's 99 and was still performing earlier this year.  It struck me when listening that both the MAGA crowd and Latin Jazz fanatics consider the 50s a golden age; although for nearly polar opposite reasons.

Cándido is a Conga and Bongo player who has played with nearly everyone of that era from Machito to Dizzy Gillespie to Tony Bennett.  This album is mostly standards (Stompin' at the Savoy, Indian Summer, Poinciana and Cheek to Cheek among others) with Cuban percussion.  It doesn't always work but the solos are usually good.

I did listen to Ticonderoga; I enjoyed it, but I didn't think his piano sounded very much like Alice's (at least not what was on "Monastic Trio.")

Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear (1968)

"When I die I want them to play "Black And Crazy Blues". I want to be cremated, put in a bag of pot and I want beautiful people to smoke me and (I) hope they get something out of it," - Roland Kirk

Roland Kirk is best known for his ability to play two (sometimes three) saxophones at once.  If I didn't know that I would have assumed there were multiple saxophonists and a separate clarinet/flute/whistle player on this album.  This is largely a melancholy, bluesy affair with a good cover of Duke Ellington's "Creole Love Song."

Also for using a "circular" breathing technique allowing him to play long durations without stopping.  Also for doing a club routine with a young Jay Leno based the premise that the blind Kirk didn't realize Leno was white. And for lots of other stuff . . . I have a DVD of one of his performances, he had great stage presence.

King Tubby - King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown (1974) :smoke:

King Tubby was a recording engineer at a time when Jamaican singles typically featured an instrumental version on the b-side.  Originally he just removed the vocal track, but in time, discovered he could create an entirely new song by changing the mix of tracks.  This would ultimately create the dub genre.  I'm not a big fan of dub; there are a lot of incompetent remixes out there, but King Tubby really had a gift for this.  Every track on this album is brilliant.

If you like German medieval-ish rock, here's a list of bands:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Mittelalterrockbands

Off the list, the bigger names are Feuerschwanz, In Extremo (they had a cameo in Gothic 1 :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ebgjk0vtzY), Letzte Instanz, Rabenschey, Subway to Sally (they've veered a bit more into generic rock/metal, though). Maybe also Faun, which is not on the list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr8d9sXioj4

For more lyrical German lyrics (with more extreme music), I recommend Nocte Obducta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oH0deSKnxQ

Oh, and Haggard, who blend metal and baroque music - though their lyrics switch between German and English. Their last album (Tales of Ithiria) was not very good, unfortunately, but the earlier ones are great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE4BZSPa-A8

Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure? (2020)

Disco Lives!  This album seems to come from a parallel universe where Disco Demolition Night never happened, Studio 54 was never shut down and Donna Summer was still releasing hit albums eight years after her death (Tupac and Otis Redding did it, why not her?) 

It's not bad.  It does like a Donna Summer album from the golden age of disco; and Ware does have the voice to pull it off.

Aretha Franklin - Aretha Now (1968)

A bit short (clocking in at about 30 minutes) but showcases the Queen at her prime.  "Think" is the big hit on this one (I still imagine John Belushi and Dan Akroyd dancing to the "Freedom" chant on that one.)  "Say a Little Prayer," "I can't see myself Leaving You,"  and "See-Saw" are the other singles.  She also does covers of "Night Time is the Right Time" and "You Send Me."

Sweetwater - Sweetwater (1968)

Sort of a psychedelic-funk-baroque-pop-electronica-fusion mixture with some Latin rhythms thrown in for good measure.  It doesn't all gel together, to the point that it's easy to spot the influences.  It's not bad (though the lyrics are certainly a product of their times); but it's nowhere near as good as the bands they were trying to imitate.  Still they get points for versatility; they may have gone on to become great, but their lead singer was in a car accident and got brain damage and a damaged vocal cord about a year after this was released.  They did have a few other albums, but never really managed to have anything surpass their debut.

Sweetwater was scheduled to go on first at Woodstock, but got stuck in traffic.  Richie Havens went on first instead, and he had to play so long (in order to stall so other musicians could arrive) that he ran out of material.  He did an extemporaneous version of "Motherless Child" that turned out fantastic.  He probably didn't realize it but "Motherless Child" was Sweetwater's only hit off this album; so even he managed to overshadow Sweetwater.

Testing me new radio, turned it on and Donna Summers' 'I Feel Love' came blasting out, what a classic disco anthem.

Took me back to the time when the way to find new music was read Melody Maker/Sounds and listen to the FM/AM radio.
What's today's equivalent? - Youtube and Spotify playlsts/stations??

Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps (1979)

(Yes, he named his album after a Rustoleum slogan.)

The first side is acoustic, the second is electric; and Neil's lyrics are even more implementable than usual (from what I've read they deal with mortality, time travel, CSNY and the attractiveness of welfare mothers) so inevitably this will lead to comparisons with Bob Dylan's "Bringing it All Back Home."  I think that's apt, like BIABH this is a big change, but one that really works out well.  Young was influenced by the Sex Pistols, but his attempt to write a punk song "Sedan Delivery" really doesn't work out.  On the other hand the lo-fi heavily distorted "Hey Hey, My My (into the Black)" is incredible.  It would be a decade before there was grunge, but you can almost hear it on that song.

La Mer was written by Charles Trenet in 1945. He recorded it in 1946. Its English version, 'Beyond the Sea' appeared apparently in 1947. The Bobby Darrin version is 1959, IIRC. The slightly disco Julio Iglesias version (at the end of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) is 1976.

The song is the same but the Jack Lawrence lyrics are very different from the Trenet lyrics.

A few days ago I saw a headline on my newsfeed which was something like "Boogaloo, a Movement that's Hard to Define."  I thought that was obvious, since as a fusion of Mambo and R&B, Boogaloo had overlap into the base genres and influence on subsequent musical movements.  This makes it hard to distinguish between "Real" Boogaloo and Boogaloo inspired music.  Still I was glad to see that the Boogaloo was finally starting to get some recognition, so I clicked the link and... :unsure: er... :unsure:  I see "The Boogaloo Movement" no longer refers to a 60s musical genre.  I was reminded of the guy in Simon and Garfunkel's "Simple Desultory Philippic" who is so un-hip that when you say "Dylan" he thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas.   :Embarrass:

Sons of Kismet, Your Queen is a Reptile (2018)

British jazz group with Caribbean and Afrobeat influences.  Apparently they don't think much of the Windsors. The track titles propose various alternatives, most but not quite all would give E2 stiff competition (personally not sold on HRH Angela Davis).  As to the music, was on the fence until track 3 (Queen Harriet Tubman) delivered the best interaction I've heard between sax and tuba since Arthur Blythe and James Newton on "Down San Diego Way" from Lenox Avenue Breakdown (1979). Fun, exuberant album - would love to see these guys live.

Fair enough, but personal preferences aside (I don't particularly care for either band) I'd said Sabaton's singer is decent at best in a live setting while this was near-perfect. Even if there was a dab of autotune on one of the high notes.

Randy Newman - Randy Newman (1968)

Debut album of Randy Newman.  While he was an established songwriter (a number of the tracks on the album had been previously sung by other artists); he's still trying to find his way as a performer here.  The songs are unmistakably Newman, quirky and semi-sarcastic, but they're all over-orchestrated.  It sounds like his biggest influence was movie music from the previous generation (in fact it often sounds like he's trying to Mickey Mouse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mousing) his songs).  He would go on to find great success writing film scores, so that's not such a surprise.

Serge Gainsburg - Initials B.B. (1968)

A totally swingin' boogie woogie romp from late 60s Paris; you can almost smell the Gitanes blazing away.  :frog:

Some of this is a little weird, like how he'll use sound effects or zany background singing (the worst offender is undoubtedly "Comic Strip," but even his duet with Brigitte Bardot, "Bonnie and Clyde" has this weird "Oop" sound about every four seconds.)  Other parts are like a more fully orchestrated Fats Domino or Little Richard sung by a totally hip lounge singer; those are much better.  It's not bad, but probably something I wouldn't listen to again.

Silver Apples - Silver Apples (1968)

One of the very first "Electronica" albums; originally the two men who founded this band, Simeon and Danny Taylor, had been part of a larger group (The Overland Stage Electric Band) that fell apart as Simeon became more obsessed with incorporating audio oscillators into their music.  Simeon built his own oscillator organ (using telegraph keys as switches) and they recorded this with Taylor on drums.

For something so avant-garde (there wouldn't even be a Kraftwerk for two years), this is surprisingly melodious and surprisingly accessible.  Unfortunately neither one is a gifted singer; but even if they had been I don't think this would have caught on at the time.  They would be rediscovered in the 90s (though the two had lost contact and it would take Simeon a couple albums as the new Silver Apples to even find Danny Taylor.

I've been reading an biography of Joni Mitchell, and learned that the piano on Carole King's "I Feel the Earth Move" is the same one used throughout the album "Blue."  "Tapestry" and "Blue" were recorded at the same time in the same complex.  They both liked the sound of the Steinway in Joni's studio, so when Mitchell was on break King got her whole team in there and recorded the song.

Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg - Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg (1969)

Not as totally swingin' as "Initials B.B." (although Gainsbour's version of "Les sucettes" has a surprisingly funky guitar solo), this also avoids the zany sound affects as on the previous work.  The problem is that Birkin and Gainsbourg alternate tracks, while not as jarring as "Double Fantasy", the result is still a wildly uneven album.

More of the blues/psychedelia that was popular at the time, than the mid-70s Steve Miller sound.  Even at the time he and his band could still harmonize; and the album comes across something like Blues Breakers with Brian Wilson.  In the spirit of the times there's an awful lot of long jams and even some noise collages.

The Welsh birdsong on the start of 'Xanadu' from the Rush album 'A Farewell to Kings'.  :bowler:

Because I was reading a book about the famous Rockfield studios in Monmouthshire, Geddy Lee was interviewed about their time at the studios and recording that album, he said they ended up recording some of the record outside in the courtyard at dawn, where in that rural area lots of birds gathered to sing.

The Welsh birdsong on the start of 'Xanadu' from the Rush album 'A Farewell to Kings'.  :bowler:

Because I was reading a book about the famous Rockfield studios in Monmouthshire, Geddy Lee was interviewed about their time at the studios and recording that album, he said they ended up recording some of the record outside in the courtyard at dawn, where in that rural area lots of birds gathered to sing.

The Band - Music from Big Pink (1968)

Not too bad for a debut album.  What remained of The Hawks had been Bob Dylan's backup band for the electric half of his show on his 1966 world tour.  They had moved to Woodstock, NY after the tour and during Bob Dylan's convalescence from his motor cycle accident they had made music with him (some of which is captured in "The Basement Tapes".)  From that they developed their roots/Americana sound (as did Dylan, though, in Dylan fashion, it was only for one album, "John Wesley Harding.")  Dylan painted the album cover and wrote or co-wrote three of the songs ("Tears of Rage", "This Wheel's on Fire" and "I Shall Be Released"), but the band's own compositions stand out as well, notably "The Weight."

This would be the only album where all the members of The Band contributed to songwriting; almost everything afterwards would be written, or at least co-written by Robbie Robertson.

Tammy Wynette - D-I-V-O-R-C-E (1968)

More of a collection of songs than an artistic statement; but not bad overall.  (Allmusic describes her version of "Yesterday" as not as cloying as it could have been.)  The strangest song on the album is her version of "Honey" (the Bobby Goldsboro song) which she sings from the perspective of the dead woman.  "Sweet Dreams" I consider her worst misstep; she sings it the same as Patsy Cline and while Wynette is a fine singer, there's only one Patsy Cline.  The title track is the big hit off of this one, which she does a good job with (and was already on her second D-I-V-O-R-C-E when she sang it.)

One of the best bands in Austria at the moment, IMHO, is Russkaja, a band led by Georgiy Makazaria (born in Moscow, parents from Georgia (the European one)), mixing Russian folk with ska. Once this whole pandemic is over, I look forward to seeing them live again.

Here they are in Wacken 2017:

The Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord (1968)

Where do you go after your big breakthrough album?  The Moodies answer was "The astral plane" (which might actually be a airplane... :unsure:)  They got rid of the orchestra in favor of a Mellotron and wrote music that was way more psychedelic, cosmic and mystical than "Days of Future Past," but they kept the classic MB marks, goofy poems, well done "Arty" arrangements interspersed with catchy pop songs.  With the Indian inspired music, and their painfully earnest paean to Timothy Leary ("Legend of a Mind") makes the album seem more dated than "Days of Future Past."  Even so it's an enjoyable product of its time.

I keep trying to listen to Ghosteen (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds). It's one of the few albums I have trouble listening to - not because it is too bad, but because it is too good at what it does.

It is a devastatingly accurate rendition of the emotions of grief. If you have ever done any grieving, it is hard to listen to. Particularly the last track, "Hollywood".

Louis Armstrong Town Hall Concert 1947

Armstrong presents a bit of a problem; his 1920s Hot Five and Sevens recording are the ur text for all subsequent American music and his celebrity status casts a long shadow.  But the 30s were a kind of lost decade, playing pop tunes in a big band format that never really suited him. When the war ended and most big bands had folded, Armstrong reformed a small group and began playing jazz tunes again, fueling a comeback that lasted the rest of his career.  The knock was that he didn't get up to speed with the times and kept playing the same standards from the 20s in pretty much the same way, as compared to a contemporary like Coleman Hawkins who kept updating his style and spent his middle age playing on records with guys like Monk and Coltrane.

But the response to the criticism is the energy and skill and joy of his playing in this concert - it may have been old fashioned even back then, but then and since no one could play like that, no one could sing like that, no could entertain like that. 

The one hitch is that like many 40s era recordings the sound quality is not ideal.

The Grateful Dead - Anthem of the Sun (1968)

The original producer quit after Bob Weir asked him to record "Thick air" leaving the Dead to produce their own album.  The results are one of a kind.  It's sort of a live show, sort of a studio album, sort of a music collage as they spliced together studio sets, live shows and electronic noise with mad abandon.  It's not bad (and very much in the spirit of the times), but it does suffer from the same problems as most Grateful Dead albums before "Workingman's Dead," the jams are wa-a-a-ay too long and the vocal tracks are muddy.

Harry Nilsson - Aerial Ballet (1968)

There are two big hits on this album "Everybody's Talking At Me" (the version that's in "Midnight Cowboy" :alberta:) and the original version of "One" (which would be a hit for Three Dog Night.)  The rest of the album manages to somehow be avant garde easy listening music.  It's sort of pop-psychedelia, like a collaboration between Burt Bacharach and the Zombies; except the songs are things like a heartfelt love song written to his desk.  Even by the standards of 1968 this one is a little weird.

Sonny Rollins & Don Cherry Live at the Village Gate (1962)

If Louis Armstrong represents one musical pole, Cherry represents the other.  They both played cornet, but Cherry more often than not played a "pocket cornet" which looked more like a child's toy. Cherry's range was limited and critics knocked him for flubbing notes on solos.  But he had a good sense of rhythm and a knack for improvising little themes on the spot which made him a favored collaborator for leaders -notably Ornette Coleman - seeking to break from the harmonic constraints of the postwar bebop style. Sonny Rollins wasn't much like Ornette Coleman but Cherry's supportive role here is similar and Rollins really let's loose on his solos, while still staying within accepted tonality. The underrated Billy Higgins - the Where's Waldo of jazz drummers c 1960-85, provides the rhythmic glue to hold it alll together.

Three edited songs from a live performance at the Village Gate were released in 1962 under the title Our Man in Jazz, enough to get a taste but just a taste.  However, it turns out the entire 4 day club date was taped and just never released until 2015 when a no-name label based in Spain released a full 6 CD set. This presents a bit of an ethical dilemma as it is not  entirely clear how the label got access to the tapes (the sound quality is good) or what rights they had to publish, a concern reinforced by the bargain price for the set ($24 for 6 CD box).  Normally I pass on these kinds of releases, but this material has never been released in any form and may never be again - so it's the only way to hear it.  My bargain with my conscience was to get it but pledge to buy a later version with more clear provenance if it is released.

Not sure how to categorize the music. Prog plus a really twisted injection of gospel? Anyway, I enjoy it.

Jeff Beck - Truth (1968)

It's amusing to see this (and later Beck-Ola) listed as a Jeff Beck album, as the lead singer was none other than Rod Stewart; (and the bassist is Ron Wood.)  At the time, though, Rod and Ron were mostly unknown.  The album is a blues-rock (and includes a couple songs by Willie Dixon) with what was, for the time, a harder sound.  The album is seen by many critics as a precursor to hard rock/heavy metal; and at points it does sound like it comes from an alternative universe where Rod Stewart was the lead singer for Led Zeppelin.  There are some oddities on the album; Rod sings a version of "Ol' Man River" and Beck plays "Greensleeves" and a variation of "Bolero."  Mostly, though, the album is a chance for Beck to showcase his virtuosity.

McCoy Tyner - Horizon (1979) - collaboration between Tyner and violinist James Blake; overall it works pretty well.  Good support on electric bass from Philly-based Charles Frambrough who would soon go on to stints with Art Blakey and the young Wynton Marsalis, and here lays down muscular lines on tracks 3 and 4. George Adams, a Mingus alumnus and personal favorite, joins on tenor saxophone.

Big Brother & The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills (1968)

Clive Davis (president of Columbia records) said that he played their version of "Summertime" for Richard Rogers; who grew so angry that he stormed out and vowed never to write another song. 

My personal favorite Janis Joplin album, in addition to "Summertime" it has "Piece of my Heart" and an incredible version of Big Momma Thorton's "Ball and Chain."  (A live version of the song is in "Monterey Pop.") 

The last two songs were recorded live at Detroit's Grande Ballroom.  At the time it was Detroit's premier rock venue; but like much of Detroit it fell into hard times post riot.  The club closed in 1972 and the building still exists but is badly dilapidated.

Cream - Wheels of Fire (1968)

Overlong and overindulgent, but with many flashes of brilliance.  The album is divided into a studio disc and a live disc.  Clapton playing is even better than Blues Breakers or Disraeli Gears; so maybe he can be forgiven for letting the solos drag on forever.  Jack Bruce pens a number of great songs, especially "White Room."  Ginger Baker, on the other hand, turns in albums two dead spots, the half baked Wind in the Willowseque "Pressed Rat and Warthog" and the 15 minute drum solo ( :yucky:) "Toad."

Clive Davis (president of Columbia records) said that he played their version of "Summertime" for Richard Rogers; who grew so angry that he stormed out and vowed never to write another song. 

I didn't realize that Rogers felt that strongly about Gershwin.

Just read in a completely different source another account of Rogers bitching about jazz musicians messing with his music.  The one exception being Ella.  Silly attitude really, without Miles Davis and Chet Baker who would remember My Funny Valentine anyways?  Can anyone even remember what show it come from?

Myrkur - Folkesange (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c277UL4iAC0&t=1919s)

Black Metal band Myrkur releases a full album of mostly Scandinavian folk with no metal content whatsoever. Lyrics in Danish, Swedish, and English with a mixture of original and traditional compositions. The traditional texts are stronger than the original compositions, IMO, but it all sounds lovely.

The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo (:alberta:) 1968

The Byrds had done country-ish songs before they had never been this twangy.  This was released just over seven months after "The Notorious Byrd Brothers;"  it must have been quite a jolt for Byrds fans to go from Haight-Ashbury to Nashville in that short amount of time.

There's only two compositions by the Byrds (both written by Graham Parsons) on this; "One Hundred Years" and "Hickory Wind."  There's a couple countrified Dylan songs, "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" and "Nothing was Delivered."  ("You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" only existed in Demo form at this time.  They misunderstood some of the lyrics, so when Dylan recorded his version he shot back with the line "Pull up your tent, McGuinn, you ain't goin' nowhere.")  All the other songs were covers of country songs, ranging from Merle Haggard ("Life in Prison") to The Louvin Brothers ("The Christian Life.")

I had to look that one up, and then thought, "I've seen "Babes in Arms," I don't remember that song.  As it turns out the movie is completely different than the play.

Edit: I just read that Rogers hated the Marcel's version of "Blue Moon" so much that he took out a full page ad telling people not to buy it.

Giles, Giles and Fripp - The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp (1968)

So Peter Giles and Michael Giles advertised for a singing keyboard player and ended up with Robert Fripp; who is neither a singer nor a keyboard player.  Still, I can't say they made the wrong decision.

I believe Frunk mentioned this one as an example of how messed up 1968 was; there's even photographic evidence of Robert Fripp smiling:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/90/CheerfulInsanity.jpg)

This isn't at all what I expected, it's not a proto-King Crimson album, instead it's more like a MOR Jazz-Fusion album.  It's not bad (though the lyrics tend to sound like Ray Davies' throw-aways); but it's much more like Anthony Newley's "Jazz" backing band had gone solo, rather than King Crimson.

Eddie Palmieri, Sabiduria (2017)

Palmieri has had 8 albums win Grammy awards, in 4 different categories.  His style hasn't really changed that much, the grammy people have just been confused historically about what to do with Latin music.  So Palmieri has won "Best Latin Recording" (2x), "Best Tropical Latin Album" (WTF?) (3x), "Best Salsa Album" (1x), "Best Latin Jazz Album" (2x).  This one didn't even get a nomination but it's as good or better than most of the winners and overall a decent introduction to his music as it mixes together his different genres over the years including big brass section backed salsa, Latin jazz fusion with saxophone-electric guitar duelling solos (and Marcus Miller guesting) and a couple tracks with vibraphonist Joe Locke (filling the role Cal Tjader played on 60s era Eddie records), among others.

Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation (1968)

In 18 months Jefferson Airplane had released three albums.  Surrealistic Pillow is the one with the big hits "White Rabbit" and "Someone to Love."  Though it was a monster hit, the band didn't think that reflected their real sound, and followed that up with the wildly experimental After Bathing at Baxters; which sounds like what should have been playing at the Merry Pranksters' Acid Tests.  (The real Pranksters actually had The Grateful Dead, then known as The Warlocks as their band.)  They toned it down quite a bit for this third album, and while more experimental than Surrealistic Pillow, it's quite a bit more accessible than After Bathing at Baxters.  Neither of the singles from the album charted very high ("Crown of Creation" made it to 64 on the Billboard charts; "Greasy Heart" only made it to 98); but the album itself sold well.

The opening track "Lather" covers the fear of aging (that is turning 30) in a youth-obsessed society.  I thought that was kind of funny knowing how long Jefferson Airplane or their subsequent acts soldiered on for.  They also covered David Crosby's polyamory song "Triad" which the Byrds had refused to release.  (The legend is that "Triad" got Crosby kicked out of the Byrds, but today Crosby and Roger McGuinn both agree that Crosby was kicked out for being a colossal asshole and not for that song.)

Curtis Mayfield, Superfly (1972)

Critics then and now attacked Blaxploitation flicks for reinforcing negative racial stereotypes and glorifying criminality for profit; defenders claimed they were representing the gritty reality of the streets and the lack of realistic opportunities. And Robert Townsend resolved the debate definitively in favor of the critics in Hollywood Shuffle.  What's left is what in large part made the movies a box office draw - the soundtracks. I can't recall the convoluted plot of Across 110th Street, but I can't forget the title track from Bobby Womack. The wooden acting and confused scenarios of Black Caesar were almost rescued by juxtaposing James Brown's funk with cinema verite - style New York Street scenes. And while Richard Roundtree played the body of John Shaft, it was Isaac Hayes that provided the soul.

I've never really seen Superfly having found it unwatchable, but Mayfield's music is the Beethoven's Fifth of blaxploitation soundtracks.  The  same high tenor voice behind one of the most inspirational songs of spiritual hope ever written - "People Get Ready" - here delivers messages of crushing despair and cycnicism. Some of the music shows its age, but the grooves and Mayfield's pathos are timeless. Too bad it wasn't in service of a project that merited his contribution.

Frank Sinatra - September of my Years (1968)

An oddity in the "Youthquake" era, Frank's album deals with aging, nostalgia, regret, lost love and his sacroiliac.  He released the album shortly after turning 50; while most of the songs are melancholy, it's not the downer that "In the Wee Small Hours" is.  Unlike most previous Sinatra albums, in this one he's backed by a string section rather than a big band.

Merle Haggard – Mama Tried (1968)

It's not hard to think of The Perfect Country & Western Song ("You Never Even Called Me By My Name") when listening to this.  In the David Allen Coe version he has a little skit about how he told the songwriter, Steve Goodman, that it wasn't the perfect country and western song because it didn't have anything about mama, or trains, or trucks, or prison or getting drunk.  So Steve Goodman wrote him an extra verse:

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got run over by a damned old train

Merle sings about mama, prison, getting drunk and (usually failed) love affairs.  Knowing Merle's story the songs about prison are touching; especially the semi-autobiographical "Momma Tried" and his version of "Folsom Prison Blues." (Merle saw Johnny Cash when he (Haggard) was incarcerated at San Quentin; something that Haggard credited to helping turn his life around.)

Charlie Parker Complete Studio Recordings on Savoy (1945-1948)

Normally I don't care much for listening to multiple out-takes but the Parker Savoy and Dial recordings are the exception.  Each tune is just a stripped down intro to set up Parker's solo and every solo is unique from take to take.  These recordings are now 75+ years old but still haven't lost their impact - no one since has ever been quite able to match Bird's fluency and virtuosity at his best. 

Like many wartime era and early postwar recordings, sound quality is variable.  For these ones I ripped CD imports from Japan.  Nippon Columbia owned the rights to Savoy Records for about 20 years and did a last re-release of this set before selling the rights in 2017; they did a pretty good job overall. 

The complete set of Savoy and Dial master takes is streamable on the major platforms.

I was having a bit of a Pentatonix spree. They're amazing.

Then I listened to their cover of Hallelujah. Also amazing.

Then I watched a few reaction videos of people listening to Hallelujah (Pentatonix, and a couple of Leonard Cohen ones as well). Not super impressed with the takes. I even watched a video of someone purporting to explain the meanings of the text and man... I was not impressed. Just a whole bunch of religious faff, mostly.

Anyways, now I've been listening to a whole bunch of Leonard Cohen. So that's good.

The Amazing Bud Powell Vol 1 (1952)

Plenty of album titles use this kind of hype; this one of very few that actually lives up to it and amazes.  The other example being the Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery. Although in both cases I think they had another recording that was even better - the Roost Recordings for Powell and all the live albums Wes did with the Wynton Kelly trio backing him. 

Anyways - Amazing Vol 1 is really 2 different recording sessions: a quintet from 1949 and a trio from 1951.  The qunintet is interesting - it was recorded more than 70 years ago. One year later, one of the participants - Fats Navarro - was dead, and Powell himself would be institutionalized for a year or so shortly after doing the 1951 session.  Powell would also pass away young (in his 40s).  However, 2 players on that 1949 recording - Sonny Rollins and Roy Haynes - are still alive today and last I saw anything about them, were still in reasonably decent health.

Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins – John Lennon and Yoko Ono (1968)

Yes, but is it art?

This is the album equivalent to a Warhol film.  John Lennon records the ambient noise of his house and Yoko shrieks from time to time.  It's kind of like John Cage, except I doubt even John Cage would have used Yoko Ono as a vocalist.  The album is probably more famous for its cover featuring a picture of John and Yoko naked (it had to be sold wrapped in brown paper.)  The album actually charted in the United States (at 124), though not in the United Kingdom.

Teddy Wilson - Brunswick & Columbia Recordings (1935-1941) 

Austin, TX born Wilson was the Jackie Robinson of American music, when he joined Benny Goodman's group in 1935 to play piano trio pieces with Benny and Gene Krupa, forming the first integrated group with a public profile. Wilson is also known for being hand-picked to accompany Billie Holiday in her 30s-era recordings organized by John Hammond, arguably her best.

These recordings are basically everything Wilson did in the late 30s other than for Goodman or Holiday.  Wilson is mostly forgotten by now even among many jazz listeners, but he was a big deal back then and was able to organize top tier sidemen on his projects, including Goodman and Ellington alumni like Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster, Cootie Williams, Krupa, Goodman himself, Harry James, and others, including one date with a then little known teenage singer named Ella Fitzgerald.  There are also a number of impressive solo piano pieces in the Harlem stride style - Wilson had the speed to match the top stride players, but he was also well educated and brought a technical mastery unrivalled by most others save maybe Earl Hines.

Columbia was and is a quality label and Brunswick was at the time a very solid label in the second tier so sound quality is mostly very good for prewar recordings with exceptions on some tracks.

That said I wouldn't recommend this CD based set to any but collectors. The Holiday-Wilson recordings are easily accessible through Spotify as are reasonably good selections of Wilson's early solo , small group, and big band work.  One can also stream his 50s era trio recordings with Verve, which have better sound quality - Wilson never changed his style with the times so it much the same stuff as in the 30s,.

Miles Davis - On the Corner (1972)

Davis' most controversial album; one biographer called an "insult to the intellect of the people." Widely trashed at the time, since the turn of millennium, it has acquired equally strong defenders. who see it as a musical ur text for later musical trends including hip hop.  According to his own autobiography, Davis' intent was to depart from his jazz roots for a funk-influenced sound that would attract interest among young Black record buyers.  The album flopped commercially and Davis blamed Columbia records for poor marketing.  There was some truth to that but the bigger problem can be discerned by Davis' own description of the music in the same bio: as a mix of (British cellist/composer) Paul Buckmaster, Sly Stone, James Brown, and experimental composer Karlheinz Stockhausen.  Davis may have miscalculated the degree to which early 70s youth (of any race) were yearning to get down to Stockhausen.

My own take is that it is neither a disaster nor a modern masterpiece. The harmonics are stripped down and melodically Miles on wah wah augmented trumpet and Carlos Garnett on sax duck in and out. The main action is the constant swirl of rhythm, driven by 5 or drummers and percussionists, two Fender Rhodes keyboards, a bunch of electric guitars, tabla, and 2 electrified sitars.  It is danceable but not in way a 70s era Western ear would likely feel it at the dawn of the age of disco. It's not something I'd put in regular rotation but it was worth the listen.  And despite its age, it sounds a more fresh today then much of Davis's synthesizer drenched music from a decade later.

I've been going through a list of greatest music videos and recently saw "Firework" by Katy Perry.  It's been a long time since I heard the song and I had forgotten how heavily auto-tuned her voice was, to the point that she sounds like a machine.  Of course Perry's voice is only a minor factor in her success as a singer; and the video director was clearly under no illusions about this either as he wisely focused on Katy's magnificent chest.  In this video it's so magnificent that she can shoot fireworks from it. 

It occurred to me while watching the video that this is where Marvel Comics failed with Jubilee; by shooting fireworks out of her fingertips she really couldn't do anything else.  If she had shot fireworks out of her boobs that would have left her hands free to wield weapons.  She could have been an expert swordswoman, or Chow Yun-fat style gunslinger or mistress of the nunchucks and incorporated pyrotechnics into her fighting style.

Batushka - Yekteniya 3: https://youtu.be/1a7-ggjvLIc

Accrodinng to Wikipedia:
Batushka (stylized in Cyrillic as БАТЮШКА) is a Polish black metal band formed by Krzysztof Drabikowski. Their music and lyrics, which are written exclusively in Old Church Slavonic language, are inspired by the Eastern Orthodox Church. The band members wear habits and Eastern Orthodox schemas during live performances to conceal their identities, and remain anonymous. In contrast with many other black metal bands, they use eight string guitars.

Rollins in Holland (2020)

Sonny Rollins is sitting on thousands of hours of unreleased recordings that he won't release because they don't all meet his exacting standards.  He did authorize this release so that's a good sign.  Like the title says it consists of two recordings made in the Netherlands in May 1967.  The date is significant because Rollins didn't release any albums between 1966 and 1972; this is the first recording documenting that period. It's a bit unusual as Rollins works with two very different Dutch musicians - bassist Ruud Jacobs who plays conventionally in the style of Ray Brown and drummer Han Bennink who was (and is) a fixture of the European free improv scene and here channels the energy of Animal the Muppet.  As Rollins often feeds on the energy of his side players, he has fun and plays with enthusiasm.

BBC Radiophonic Workshop - BBC Radiophonic Music (1968)

This is a collection of television themes, jingles and incidental music composed for the BBC between 1962-1968.  It's unusual in that almost all the music is electronica; performed on oscilloscopes and the primitive synthesizers from the era.  Despite that there's nothing experimental in the compositions (a couple of the sci-fi show themes are a little out there); they were for television shows after all.  Still I thought some of the tunes were interesting.  It's more impressive that they could do this at all at the time.

Both Brian Jones (of the Rolling Stones) and Pink Floyd would tour the BBC Radiophonic Workshop Studios in the late 60s.  They used some of the techniques they found there for "Their Satanic Majesties Request" and "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" respectively.

Ray Baretto - Acid (1968)

Conga master and jazz band leader Ray Baretto tried to cash in on the boogaloo craze in this one; he ended up making something that sounded like the missing link between Tito Puente and War.  It is kind of cool, all wild percussion and blistering horns on mostly soul songs ("A Deeper Shade of Soul" is probably the biggest hit from the album; or at least the only song that I had heard before.)  "Acid" was probably not the best title for this; as it's not psychedelia by any stretch of the imagination.

Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg (2020)

If you were too cool for school in the late 80s/pre-Nevermind 90s you'll probably like this.  You can hear the influence of the "Alternative" rock bands throughout, most especially Sonic Youth.  The vocalist doesn't even bother singing; she just makes wry observations and non-sequiturs throughout much like Kim Gordon.  Consequently the songs don't have a typical verse-chorus structure, they're more akin to jams.  I enjoyed it; nothing will ever replace "Daydream Nation," but this was still fun.

At my age I've found that it's sometimes hard to shake the feeling that I've heard it all before.  This album is a new one on me; it sounds like a jam session between Pharaoh Sanders and the Elves of Rivendell.  It's a musical conversation between Pharaoh Sanders and The London Symphony Orchestra, only the LSO is playing all this trippy ethereal music and Pharaoh Sanders is playing his usual sax.  It's not bad, it's just kind of strange.  I am glad to see that the Pharaoh is still soldiering on; I think he just turned eighty.

Lee Morgan-Wayne Shorter Vee Jay Sessions (1960)

Vee Jay was an R&B/Blues/Gospel label out of Chicago, a rival to Chess in the 1950s and 60s, but African-American owned.  They are probably most famous for acquiring rights to the first US album release of an obscure north English band called the "Beatles" and the legal hijinks that ensued when EMI-Capitol began to realize the scale of potential American interest and played hardball to get the rights back. Vee Jay went bankrupt shortly after that but they got the last laugh on Chess - while the Chess master tapes all went up in smoke in the Universal fire, at least some of the Vee Jay master tapes are still intact.

This was before all that. Chess started up a jazz focused label on the side in the mid-1950s - Argo - and had a big hit with Ahmad Jamal at the Pershing.  Vee Jay noticed and came up with a pretty clever idea of its own.  In addition to focusing on midwest-based acts like Argo did, they went to the side players in the most popular New York based acts like Miles Davis and Art Blakey's Jazz Messenger and gave then a chance to record as leaders. That included big talents like Morgan - then the hottest trumpet player around - and Shorter who despite his young years was the musical director of the Messenger and would later supply much of the material used by Davis' 60s era second quintet.

Almost all these recordings are available to stream under their original album titles: Here's Lee Morgan, Expoopident, The Young Lions, Introducing Wayne Shorter, Second Genesis, and Wayning Moments.

King Crimson ... Islands.(1971)

A new album and a new lineup again, although this one featured the touring band of the previous album Lizard. Mel Collins's saxophone really stands out on this, perhaps their most jazz-influenced album, especially on the title track. Highlights include the funky Ladies of the Road and the haunting The Letters.
As with previous Crim albums, the band would break up after the recording; although this time it was supposed to be permanent. At least for now.

My brother got me the newest Liquid Tension disc as a gift and It's fecking amazing,

Thanks for the tip MIM, on first listening it's ....

Bloody Brilliant.

Just listened to ELO's "A New World Record" and "Out of the Blue" back to back.  Two albums released only about a year apart that marked the real high water mark for them - Jeff Lynne was always an overblown, somewhat pompous fan of the big music - but on these two albums it worked quite well, and creatively being able to put so many songs that worked is something special.  These were in successive years summer records that my mom played over and over and became part of my musical foundation.

Don Cherry - Eternal Rhythm (1969)

No, not that Don Cherry (at least as far as I know.  I don't think they've ever been photographed together :unsure:.)

On first listen this sounds like it was produced by Christopher Walken though substituting pan-flute for cowbell.  Like most free jazz it improves upon repeated listening (although even having heard it a few times I still find myself wondering when the pan-flute solo is going to end.)  It's an interesting album, overflowing with all sorts of wild instrumentation; bells, whistles, xylophones, and pan-flutes are all mixed in with more traditional jazz instruments.  It reminded me a lot of Gato Barbieri's early work; (and I would guess this is where Gato drew inspiration.)

Johnny Cash at San Quentin - Johnny Cash (1969)

The re-release has the complete concert (including the part where he plays "San Quentin" twice), consequently it's a lot rawer than "At Folsom Prison."  We also get to hear the warm up acts, Carl Perkins, The Statler Brothers and The Carter Family.  His long standing guitarist, Luther Perkins, had died between "At Folsom Prison" and this album; I think this is the reason that the songs are much quicker tempo than they had been previously.  He still has a great rapport with the (captive) audience; and he really does bring down the (big) house with "San Quentin".  The big hit off of this is "Boy Named Sue."

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica (1969)

A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous, got me?

I didn't like this the first time I heard it (several years ago), it just sounded like cacophony and off-key singing.  Now, many free-jazz albums later, I'm surprised this ranks so highly on critics' lists.  It's not challenging even as compared to the Don Cherry album I just listened to (released about the same time); much less so than The Peter Brotzmann Octet.

One of the musicians, Bill Harkleroad, left an LSD cult (it was the 60s) in order to make this album.  By all accounts being in Captain Beefheart's Magic Band was nearly an identical experience.

Goldberg Variations

Gould (1955 and 1981 - piano)
Denk (2013 - piano)
Perahia (2000- piano)
Egarr (2006 - harpsichord)

I have no objection to using modern instruments for Bach - who always kept abreast of the latest developments of keyboard instrument technology - but I think I prefer the harpsichord for these pieces with Egarr my favorite so far.  The piano versions are all quite good, Denk was my favorite with Gould 55 (38 mins) as an honorable mention if you're in a rush.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River (1969)

The second of three albums CCR put out in 1969 (Bayou Country and Willy and the Poor Boys are the others) all produced by John Fogerty and done while they were touring full time.  It's remarkable that could be done at all, much less be as good as they are.  This is an improvement from Bayou Country as they've abandoned the long jams in favor of shorter radio friendly songs.  The lyrics are even more evocative, Allmusic describes John Fogerty as the William Faulkner of rock and roll, though he could get to the point much quicker.  The lyrics also take a noticeably darker turn, (probably due to the workload), "Bad Moon" might be the upbeat song about the apocalypse ever recorded.

Santana - Santana (1969)

Santana got their big break at Woodstock and this album (released shortly thereafter) proved to be a huge hit.  They're out of San Francisco, and it's obvious here as most of the album is based around loose jam sessions similar to The Grateful Dead or Quicksilver Messenger Service.  That they were able to take Latin percussion and rhythms and combine them with the San Francisco sound is what really makes this stand out (in a year of outstanding albums at that.)  Both singles (Evil Ways and Jingo) are covers; their composition was probably still too free form at that point to come up with a hit single.  Still a great album, though.

I saw Santana live in 1985; they were amazing. They did this super extended jam session for "soul sacrifice" with what appeared to be ten different percussion artists ... it was great. The venue was an outdoor concert, I was with a bunch of guys all of whom were high on large amounts of LSD; we met up with a group of girls, all of whom were also high on large amounts of LSD; it was like the 60s all over again, by teens who never experienced it the first time - for one evening. It was truly an awesome time.

We guys actually met up with the girl group again, a couple of days later, only to discover that when not peaking on Acid and listening to Santana we had ... basically nothing in common. Ah well!

I've always heard Santana puts on a good show, but I've never gotten a chance to see him.  The only Woodstock acts I've seen were Crosby, Stills and Nash; (but by then Stephen Stills had lost his voice) and Arlo Guthrie (who was no worse a singer than he was in the 60s.)  Arlo is a great storyteller and his show was a lot of fun.  He must have been pushing 60 at the time, but he still had groupies in their early 20s.

On that subject:

Crosby, Stills and Nash - Crosby, Stills and Nash (1969)

A supergroup formed from The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and... the Hollies  :huh:?

;)

While, at the time, he wasn't as famous as the other two, Graham Nash is an incredible harmonizer and had been chafing in the Hollies for some time.  Once the band rejected "Marakesh" for not being commercial enough and decided to do an album of Dylan covers he had enough.  Unlike many supergroups they did live up to their name; this album and the follow up (Deja Vu) are incredible.  Bands with David Crosby in them tend to spontaneously combust quickly, and this one was no exception.  It's more of a surprise that they lasted as long as they did (and that they kept getting back together on and off for the next 50 years.)

On the subject of disappointing supergroups:

Blind Faith - Blind Faith (1969)

Cream has fallen apart due to conflicting egos.  Traffic has fallen apart due to conflicting egos.  I've got a great idea, let's combine the two groups.

Certainly has its moments, especially "Presence of the Lord" and "Can't Find My Way Home."  On the other hand Ginger Baker's 15 minute jam "Do what you like" while not as bad as "Toad", still is not good.  Of course the band barely survived its first tour.  Clapton was so eager to get out of the limelight that he joined Plastic Ono Band as a sideman and Steve Winwood returned to Traffic (taking the bassist Ric Grech with him.)

The British album cover was controversial  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Faith_(Blind_Faith_album)#Album_cover_controversy)at the time:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a8/BlindFaithBlindFaith.jpg)

And rejected in the United States in favor of this cover:

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/46/Blindfaithalternate.jpg)

Even today Amazon Prime has the US cover on their streaming service.  (Although the radio station I worked at in college had a print with the British cover, so it may have been released later in the United States (or US promotional copies may have had the British cover.))

I recently watched a documentary about Haight-Ashbury.  They said that the Summer of Love is when hard drugs started flooding the neighborhood and even though Janis Joplin did the majority of them when the psychedelic sixties passed into the bummer years of the seventies the neighborhood became dangerous and dilapidated.  It revitalized and at the end of the documentary and at the end of the show they tried to play it off as "A neighborhood in search of its identity"; but with the average home costing $1.2 million, I don't think the Hell's Angels are going to be moving back in any time soon.

In the mid-60s Detroit had its own artist district; Cass Corridor located south of Wayne State University.  Just like the Haight, hard drugs moved in at the end of the 60s and the area became one of the worst in the city (which, in Detroit, is no mean feat.)  In time the university bought up the abandoned buildings and no-tell motels and the area and the area, if nowhere near as nice as Haight-Ashbury, has had a comeback.  A few of the Cass Corridor artists achieved regional prominence, but the only ones (that I know of ) to make the national scene was:

The MC5 - Kick out the Jams (1969)

Recorded live at the Grande Ballroom on the most Detroit of holidays, Devil's night (October 30) (and on Halloween as well, to be fair.)  It's a breathtaking experience from beginning to end; wiith the possible exception of some by The Sonics no album had rocked that hard and that loud before.  I'm not entirely sold on their version of "Rambling Rose" and I do wish they had found something better to celebrate than the Detroit riots ("Motor City is Burning1.").  Still those are only minor complaints, this album lives up to its title.

1.) If they had stayed together long enough they could have reworked as "Motor City is Bankrupt".

The Flying Burrito Brothers - The Gilded Palace of Sin

It's a tribute to the album is that it's difficult to decide if "Sin City" is meant to be a parody of The Louvin Brothers or an homage.  It's not impossible (or even unlikely) that Graham Parson envisioned a dissolute city where Satan runs a used car lot.

Graham Parson and Chris Hillman left The Byrds to start The Flying Burrito Brothers.  This continues going from where "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" left off adding in elements of gospel, R&B and psychedelia to the Country-Rock mix they had previously defined.  While Country-Rock is not my favorite genre, I don't think anyone ever did it better.

The Temptations - Cloud Nine (1969)

Norman Whitfield and Barret Strong write an album for Sly and the Family Stone... only to discover that they were under contract with Motown :unsure:.

;)

Otis Williams insists that the title track is not a drug song and that "Cloud Nine" is just a state of mind.  I'm not so sure, but it is really funky; far more akin to James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone than Motown's previous work.  They go even further in that direction in "Runaway Child, Running Wild" where the Funk Brother's (for once) get their due.

than anything on it.  Kooper had gotten kicked out of Blood, Sweat & Tears right before their self-titled breakthrough album.  This takes the ideas of BS&T's original album ("Child is the Father of Man"), takes them further and takes them all the way to Memphis (going so far as to record a version of "Blue Moon of Kentucky.")  Some of the compositions are incredible, especially "Western Union Man" and "I can Love a Woman;" but then there's a number of spacey organ jams, sound collages and musique concrète as well.  It doesn't always work together, still I think it's worth a listen.

Jefferson Airplane - Bless Its Pointed Little Head (1969)

Released almost exactly two years after "Surrealistic Pillow."  To me it's surprising how quickly bands used to churn out albums, this is their fourth in that two year period ("After Bathing at Baxters" and "Crown of Creation" are the other two.)  This is a live album recorded at the Fillmore; it's different than the studio albums in that they do a lot of long jams and that they focus on Marty Balin's songs rather than Grace Slick's (in fact "White Rabbit" isn't on the album, though "Someone to Love" is1.).  You can hear Hot Tuna ready to break out on a couple songs.  It's decent, but the sound isn't the best so I prefer the studio albums.

1.)  I suspect that Grace went off the deep end (or further off the deep end) when she realized that she was going to have to sing "White Rabbit" and "Someone to Love" every night for the rest of her life.

Bands did record a lot back then (although in this case it's a live album), but yes that was the case. One a year, at least.
I don't think the money was there in touring at the time, and the only lucrative means was putting out an album. Also record contracts at the time were not very favourable to the artist and they were basically locked into several records in a given time. That also explains live albums and greatest hits packages.

There is also the practice of locking up artists for multi-record deals that had to be filled before the artist can move to another label - not sure if that was an issue for Jefferson Airplane back then.  Miles David churned out four or five one-word 'n albums for Prestige in the 50s so he could sign with Columbia.  And of course the most famous example was Prince/"glyph" getting albums out to free himself from Warner.

Yes, I read once that Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel got called in on the carpet by the record executives for not having an album planned for 1967.  (Art recorded the conversation and he and Paul would get high and laugh at it.)  Going two years between albums (as they did between both Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme and Bookends and then between Bookends and Bridge Over Troubled Waters was really unusual in those days.

The Beatles were really amazing in that the released two albums a year every year from 1963-1965, made two movies, had a full time touring schedule (often worldwide) and Lennon and McCartney still managed to write hits for other bands.

There is also the practice of locking up artists for multi-record deals that had to be filled before the artist can move to another label - not sure if that was an issue for Jefferson Airplane back then.  Miles David churned out four or five one-word 'n albums for Prestige in the 50s so he could sign with Columbia.  And of course the most famous example was Prince/"glyph" getting albums out to free himself from Warner.

I'm not sure of the specifics, but they did form their own record label: Grunt Records (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunt_Records).  Like Apple before them, eventually they only released the band's albums, (or bands' in this case, both Hot Tuna and Jefferson Starship/Starship were on Grunt.)

Probably the most famous is "I Wanna Be Your Man" which they wrote for the Rolling Stones, or Peter & Gordon's "A World Without Love; but they wrote hits for The Fourmost ("Hello Little Girl") and Billy J. Kramer and the Dakota's (almost all their songs other than "Little Children," in fact John Lennon suggested the stage name "Billy J. Kramer.")

Quicksilver Messenger Service - Happy Trails (1969)

Recorded live and assembled from two different shows, one at Fillmore East and one at the Fillmore West; the first side is an extended version of "Who do you Love," in which each player takes a solo.  The second side begins with Bo Diddley's "Mona" and transitions into a couple jams, one, ("Cavalry"), which would have done Ennio Morricone proud and then ending with an off kilter version of "Happy Trails" :alberta:.  I think the album works because the jams stay pretty tight and the musicians are all excellent (the aforementioned "Cavalry" sounds like it could have been recorded in a studio.)

Nanowar of Steel have a new-ish song, "Der Fluch des Käpt'n Iglo", about Käpt'n Iglo, the marketing mascot of Iglo's range of frozen fish products (I'd imagine the figure is used in other countries where Iglo operates).

A newer one for their flasgship (PUN INTENDED) product fish sticks: https://youtu.be/4w6AvoRjP0w

So now we have an Italian comedy folk metal band singing about him. In German. With a cartoon video. Produced by an Austrian label.

The Bee Gees - Odessa (1969)

You said goodbye I declared war on Spain.
Never say never say never again .

That may seem like a reasonable way to handle a break up; but there's a horrible chance that you might win; and then what?  You've really got to think these things all the way through; and sometimes you just have to let her go.  It's certainly better than having to deal with Catalan nationalists for the rest of your life.

;)

While those are the weirdest lyrics on the album, it's pretty weird throughout.  There's a song about a man stranded on an iceberg corresponding with his girlfriend who has left him for a Vicar and there's a paean to Thomas Alva Edison.  The album began as a concept album about a ship sinking; but they abandoned that early on.  It's sounds theatric throughout, some critics describe it as "Baroque pop."  They hadn't yet developed their falsettos, and the songs aren't at all funky, even knowing what's going to happen it's hard to hear this as any sort of precursor to their Kings of Disco era.  The harmonies are all amazing, though, some of the best this side of the (Brian Wilson era) Beach Boys.

The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground (1969)

This sounds like the morning after the drug fueled binge of "White Light/White Heat."  In part that's because the VU had their amps stolen so they had to adopt a more subdued sound; but I don't think even they could have topped their previous album for energy.  This has some of Lou's best lyrics on it with "Candy Says" and "Pale Blue Eyes;" and it has their usual weirdness with "Murder Mystery."  Unusually it has a number of forgettable tracks; so I think it's the weakest of the Velvet Underground's albums.

Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis (1969)

Even though Stax and Sun had fallen on hard times by then; 1969 was quite a year for Tennessee with "Dusty in Memphis", Dionne Warwick's "Soulful," Elvis's :elvis: "From Elvis in Memphis", Al Kooper's "I Stand Alone" and Bob Dylan's "Nashville Skyline."

This album was a flop when it was released failing to crack the top 40 in either the US or UK.  That's surprising since every track on it is excellent; Dusty gives it her all and she has the best recording engineers at Atlantic behind her.  She recorded an enormous number of songs at the time; and though they picked the right eleven to be on the album, the bonus tracks are surprisingly good throughout.

Joe Henderson, In N Out (1964)

Henderson was a Where's Waldo of Blue Notes mid-60s releases - just before releasing this album he appeared on Lee Morgan's Sidewinder, Grant Green's Idle Moments, Bobby Hutcherson's the Kicker and Andrew Hill's Point of Depature, displaying an impressive ability to provide support to other leaders with very different styles.  Enough to convince McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones to take a brief sabbatical from their work with John Coltrane to join with Henderson on this session (*very* brief sabbatical as it turns out - they would record the sessions that became Crescent with Coltrane over 2 weeks later).  Most of this album is more conventional than Impulse era Coltrane, but Tyner and Jones push Henderson on the title track, and he proves more than up to the task.

In the context of the time, I think of it as an anti-war song written in the shadow of Vietnam, making the point that is always ordinary folk that suffer for the vainglory of others.  In the context of our own present time, it doesn't look as good.   Ta-Neishi Coates had a brutal takedown in the Atlantic, calling it the "blues of Pharaoh"
https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2009/08/virginia/23415/
That's a good line but not entirely fair - it's more like the blues of the Egyptian peasants for the lost of their firstborn.  Maybe not the song we sing on Passover, but a song that can be sung.

Joe Henderson, Inner Urge (1964)

Tenor saxophonist's follow up with Tyner and Jones, who 9 days later would record Coltrane's Love Supreme sessions.
Overall this is a stronger effort across all tracks, with Henderson showing his mastery of all styles, shifting seamless between conventional bebop, blues, modal, Latin and free playing.

James Brown - I'm Black and I'm Proud (1969)

I think every reviewer needs to say that the children who chant "I'm black and I'm proud" on the title track were, in fact, not black (no word on whether they were proud or not.)  I think it's more remarkable that James Brown realized what his song needed was a funky children's chorus.  He was right, of course, there's only one James Brown.

"Lickin' Stick" is the other big hit on the album; he does a number of soulful ballads as well.  He has better albums, but this one is good throughout.

Right, they are pretty old to start going on world tours again.  I don't blame them, especially since back in the day Agneta and Frida were like living, dancing Barbie Dolls with amazing voices, and while I listened to the singles and thought they were great, and that they can still sing, I feel like they are probably no longer Barbie Doll-esque.  So they probably felt they couldn't put on a physical act resembling anything close to the one from their prime.

The other thing is that they might not really want to be together.  For decades they were like violently opposed to a reunion, or at least some of them were, even after they were supposedly offered a billion dollars to get back together in like 2000 or so.  So maybe now the holdout(s) (I think Agneta was supposedly the main holdout) have money issues and have caved due to that, but maybe under the condition she not have to perform on stage with the others?  I dunno, just speculating here.

My favorite band nobody heard of: Nocte Obducta. Their style is a little bit all over the place between their poetic purple prose lyrics and a tone somewhere between melancholy and despair. Their latest albums aren't quite as good, but their mid 2000s albums are excellent, with "Und Pan spielt die Flöte" being my favorite song of theirs, and I occasionally find myself humming or whistling bits of it.

https://youtu.be/7jvhgrU0ii8

I listened to some albums of theirs again during work yesterday, inspired by the band Syhlmagoghnar showing up for me on Spotify whose album Emergence scratched a similar melancholy itch.

Paul Desmond, Like Someone in Love (1976)

Desmond - best known as the horn in the Dave Brubeck quartet - is a bit too quiet and well-mannered for my taste.  That said he does play very well here in this series of takes from a 1975 club date in Toronto.  Sadly Canada does not punch over its weight in jazz as it does in comedy, but Desmond is backed by a local rhythm section that complements his style and plays more than competently.  Especially notable is Torontonian guitarist Ed Bickert, a local legend who coaxes a beautiful tone from his Fender Telecaster, an instrument that back then was very rarely used in jazz groups (Bill Frisell and others influenced by him use them now).

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline (1969)

Bob Dylan sings! :o :o :o

Bob Dylan's croon rather than his usual nasally voice must have been quite a shock in 1969 (although you can sort of hear it on John Wesley Harding especially on "Be My Baby Tonight.")  This was certainly not the first country rock album or by no means the best (it pales in comparison to The Byrd's "Sweetheart of the Rodeo"); but those earlier albums didn't have Johnny Cash singing on them.  Kris Kristofferson cited this as enormous influence on him and his generation of country music singers.  It's not my favorite Dylan album, it lacks his usual wordplay and other people did Country Rock much better than he did, but it has its moments; especially "Lay Lady Lay" and "Tonight I'll be Staying Here With You".

At a quick glance the record cover, when shrunk down on Amazon Music, looks like the play sign with the way Dylan's head an arm make an equilateral triangle.

Arlo Guthrie - Running Down the Road

Arlo does not croon on this album.   

;)

The songs are better than the second side of Alice's Restaurant; but there's nothing as engaging as the song "Alice's Restaurant."  "Coming into Los Angeles" is the big hit off of this one (aided by its appearance in the Woodstock Movie; but its still a great song.)  Most everythign else is much more folky than that; for instance he does a decent version of his father's "Oklahoma Hills."

The Moody Blues - On the Threshold of a Dream (1969)

The magnificent Moodies were finally not under the gun to turn out an album; and so were free to explore their musical ideas.  While the results are similar to Days of Future Passed and In Search of the Lost Chord (poppy radio friendly songs, mixed with longer experimental pieces and goofy poems sprinkled throughout) the experimental pieces are much more sophisticated and ambitious than their previous efforts.  The Dream which makes up the entire second side of the album was their best extended piece to date (and arguably the best in their career.)

Unfortunately there's no stand out single on the first side (although The Four Tops would go on to cover "Deep Within You.")  The album was number 1 in the UK and number 20 in the US; but none of the singles charted very high in either country.

Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago Transit Authority (1969)

They'd be Chicago on their next album (and their next album would be Chicago, but the one after that would be Chicago III.)  Like most of Chicago's 70s work this is a blues/jazz/rock fusion and goes from shorter radio-friendly hits to lo-o-o-ong jams.  Sometimes it does get a little avant-garde (my wife thought they were trying to do whale songs on their final jam), but all round it's a fine album; remarkable that it's both a debut album and a double album.

As always, Springsteen fits very well the bittersweet mixed feelings of travelling from my home in Hungary to my home in England (or vice versa).

When I've been to Pueblo, Colorado, the hotel that I've stayed at is near both a steel mill and a race track.  The first time I was there I thought "This is exactly like being in a Bruce Springsteen album."  (I had in mind "Darkness on the Edge of Town", not "Nebraska.")

It could be worse, whenever I used to go to Detroit's east side, near the infamous Packard Plant, pictured here:

I'd put on The Wailer's "Catch a Fire," the opening track "Concrete Jungle" captures the vibe of that part of the city.

Johnny Winter - Johnny Winter (1969)

This covers a large area of Blues and R&B (in addition to his own compositions there are covers of Ray Charles, BB King, Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Johnson and, in the reissue, Bobby "Blue" Bland) done in Winter's guitar driven Texas blues style (for the most part, there are a couple horn driven songs.)  The results are good; he's a passable blues singer, but his guitar work is extraordinary.

Sly and the Family Stone - Stand! (1969)

Sly and the Family Stone's best album, almost every song is about unity and togetherness.  A number of critics see this as a statement of 60s optimism that would quickly fall apart.  The bands next two studio albums, "There's a Riot Goin' on" and "Fresh" do sound disillusioned and burnt out; although there is a possibility that Sly and his bandmates might have been doing some drugs that may have contributed that (although you could make the case that disillusionment with 60s idealism may have led Sly to turn to hard drugs.)  In any event Stand! is a great album; Sly and the Family Stone at their funky psychedelic soulful best.

Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from my Friends

He did actually write a number of his own songs (with Chris Straiton), but all his big hits were covers.  On this one there's "Feeling Alright" (originally by Traffic) and the title track.  I like the way he does covers; they don't sound like remakes.  Even a Tin Pan Alley classic like "Bye Bye Blackbird" becomes a Joe Cocker blues-gospel number.  (Otis Redding was like that too; "Try a Little Tenderness" is also a Tin Pan Alley standard.)

One of my favorite albums I've been listening to the past few months is Demon Haunted Worlds by 20SIX Hundred. It goes a bit beyond the usual retro synthwave by going for a late 70s/early 80s sci-fi vibe. I would recommend if you like the Stellaris soundtrack, where it would fit in quite seamlessly.

Joni Mitchell - Clouds (1969)

"Chelsea Morning" and "Both Sides Now" are the best known songs off this one (Judy Collins had a hit with "Both Sides Now" in 1967.)  This one is mostly Joni with her guitar singing confessional songs.  It's nowhere near as sophisticated as "Blue" (just two years later); but it's still a decent album.

She painted the cover (self-portrait with a prairie lily.)

Neil Young - Everybody Knows This is Nowhere (1969)

"Neil Young" (released just five months earlier) had been a misstep; on this one he regains his footing.  This is the first album he recorded with Crazy Horse and it's much more electric guitar driven with a much heavier sound.  Some of the tracks were written when he was still with Buffalo Springfield and the album seems as a bridge between that period of his career and his next two releases (Harvest and After the Gold Rush.)

Phil Ochs - Rehearsals for Retirement (1969)

Perhaps it's not the most obvious comparison, but this reminded me of "The Chronic" by Dr. Dre.  Both albums are tied to a particular time and place (1968 Chicago for Ochs, 1992 LA for Dre.)  Riots loom large in both albums.  Ochs sings about politics and the counter-culture; Dre raps about blunts, theft and killing people - so they were both in the spirit of their respective times  (;)).

Ochs will always be "The other folk singer to come out of the Greenwich Village scene."  His wordplay is clever and he's often funnier than Dylan; but his scope is more limited (even "Pawn in their Game" which indicts society rather than an individual would have been beyond Ochs's ability) and he couldn't pen the standards that Dylan did.  Unlike Dylan, though, Ochs was a true believer in The CauseTM and he never lost faith or moved on.  He really was in Chicago during the 1968 riots and was even a witness at the trial of the Chicago 7.

Alexander "Skip" Spence - Oar (1969)

San Francisco's answer to Syd Barrett, Skip Spence was the original guitarist of Quicksilver Messenger Service, original drummer of Jefferson Airplane and founding member of Moby Grape.  Like Barrett he suffered mental health issues (most likely exacerbated by drug use) and like Barrett he had a brief solo career and then dropped out of the limelight for good.  This album is good, but it sounds incredibly burnt out.  Spence is the only musician on the album; so the compositions are a bit sparse (or at least as compared to what you'd expect from the bands he head been.)  Allegedly it was Columbia's lowest selling record at the time of release.

Bokani Dyer, Emancipate the Story (2011)

South Africa was pretty big in the jazz world in the 60s and 70s, led by Hugh Masekela and Abdullah Ibrahim, among others.  There was been a significant revival in the past decade led by young artists like Dyer, in his 20s when this album came out.  There are some consciously "African" sounds here, as on the track "African Piano" (actually Fender Rhodes), but the predominant sound is American post-bop and the predominant influences are mid-late Miles Davis and McCoy Tyner. Nothing wrong with that though and Dyer's group is on the ball.

The Who - Tommy (1969)

Pretentious, bombastic and nonsensical; all the things The Who did best.   ;)

Not the first rock opera ("SF Sorrow" by The Pretty Things was released a year earlier) and The Who had been working towards longer song stories for a while ("A Quick One," "Rael"); still this one is different from anything that came before - longer, louder and better.  The story is half-baked (the same should be said for "SF Sorrow"), but the singles are great as are the solos and jams (well, at least those not involving a French horn.)  I think "Eyesight to the Blind" is the underappreciated masterpiece on the album as they took a Sonny Boy Williamson II twelve bar blues standard and turned it into a raucous piece (Keith's maniacal drumming, as usual, was their secret weapon).  "The Acid Queen," on the other hand, is something of a disappointment after hearing the Tina Turner version.

Well each to his own.  The Ox was an incredible musician (and, IMO an under-appreciated songwriter); but I think the drums that allowed The Who to rock as hard as they did (especially since they were never the same band without Moon.)

They may not have been the same band after Moon but Moon's contribution was more to the band's showmanship then his sloppy drumming.  There's no great secret about The Who; Townsend wrote most of the material, supplied much of the pretension, and contributed the iconic guitar riffs; the band declined when he lost his mojo by the mid-70s.

Elvis Presley :elvis: - From Elvis in Memphis (1969)

The Reverend Billy Wurlitzer has a bit where he explains that if the song is about an older relative said relative is going to die by the end of the song.  You can tell they're about to die when either the song has a breakdown or shifts key.  If you see the song performed live you should shout out "Asshole" at the singer for killing his or her relative.  I was reminded of this when listening to "Oh Mama Liked the Roses."

;)

Elvis's comeback album (he had been doing soundtracks since getting back from the army) and the best of the second part of his career.  (Arguably the best in his career; though I prefer 1956's Elvis.)  "In the Ghetto" was the big hit off the album, but "Suspicious Minds" and "Kentucky Rain" were recorded in the same sessions.  At that time most of his recent albums had been recorded in Hollywood; this was recorded in Memphis and he worked with "The Memphis Boys" as his backup band creating a country-soul sound (if anyone could do it Elvis could.)

"In the Ghetto" (a Mac Davis composition) was considered a controversial song at the time; and Elvis was hesitant to record it for fear that it would alienate some of his audience.

Roberta Flack - First Take (1969)

She put together quite a lineup for her debut album; herself on piano, John Pizzarelli on guitar, Ron Carter on bass and Ray Lucas on drums.  Given Pizzarelli and Carter it's probably not much of a surprise that this is much more a jazz album than soul (except for the opening track; a blistering version of the protest song "Compared to What.")  She sounds like she wants to be Sarah Vaughan on most of the tracks here; it's not bad, but it's not what she does best.

Procol Harum - A Salty Dog  :pirate (1969)

A concept album dealing with the sea (:pirate); the music ranges from blues to calypso to singer-songwriter-confessional to Memphis soul to psychedelia to proto-prog rock.  It works together surprisingly well and the songs are good throughout.  It doesn't have any of their biggest hits ("Conquistador" in case you were looking for the second hit), but that probably helps the album (at least for new listeners.)  This would be the last album with the original line up; guitarist Matthew Fisher would leave the band soon after the albums release.

Jeff Beck - Beck-Ola (1969)

This is the end of the line for the first incarnation of the Jeff Beck Group as Rod Stewart and Ron Wood would leave to form Faces out of the remainder of The Small Faces.  It's more cover heavy and has a heavier sound than "Truth."  I had said that "Truth" sounds like a alternate reality where Rod Stewart was the lead singer for Led Zeppelin.  This one sounds more like an alternate reality where Rod Stewart was the lead singer for Black Sabbath (though with a considerably more talented band) and they decided to do a bunch of Elvis covers.  It's just not all that good.

White Noise - An Electric Storm (1969)

One of the last Electronic album made without synthesizers (the Moog has been released in 1965 and had started making appearances on rock albums by this time; most notably "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" by The Byrds.)  The first side is excellent; filled with quirky pop songs.  The second side is experimental, and just not very good (allegedly it was rushed due to record company demands).  This was put together by the sound editors from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and a lot of the first side sounds a lot like the first BBC Radiophonic Workshop compilation.

One foot in Memphis, one foot in Philadelphia (and, arguably, a hand on the Mothership, or at least Hyperbolicsyllablecsesquedalymistic sounds like a word George Clinton would have come up with) this is an incredible album.  It cooks as well as anything Black Moses had done at Stax; but its strings and orchestration foresees the world of Gamble and Huff.  "Walk on By" is the big hit off this one; but his version of "By the Time I get to Phoenix" is incredible as well.

Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking (1969)

Three Dylan covers out of eight songs; who do you think you are, The Byrds?

;)

All the Dylan covers came from The Basement Tapes which Fairport Convention had access to, but most people did not (just a few bootlegs existed at the time.)  Dylan's experimentation into American roots music seemed to have inspired Fairport Convention to look back into British folk music.  There's still some American style folk music on this (notably Cajun Woman) but songs like "Genesis Hall" and "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" demonstrate where the band was heading.  (That the band continued on at all is something of a surprise as one of the vocalists (Iain Mathews) left and the drummer Martin Lamble died in a car accident.  Not only did they soldier on, but they released yet another album in 1969.)

The gym that I go to has changed its music format from current hits to oldies (songs from the late 60s to late 90s.)  They had on "Lost in Emotion" by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam today.  I don't I've heard that since the 80s and I remember at the time being really confused as to whom "Kay Sarah" was and how she fit into the song.  (I was actually familiar with the Doris Day version of "Que Sera, Sera" at the time; but it's Que Sera, Que Sera on the song and she pronounces "Sera" like "Sarah".)

Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left (1969)

Better than most singer-songwriters, the songs are good, the arrangements are  amazing and Drake's voice is in turns powerful, weary and sincere.  The "Cheerful" songs on this don't really work (they'd be better on Bryter Layter); but there are so few of those that that's only a minor complaint.  Even as poor a stage performer as he was reputed to be it's still surprising that this didn't catch on until much later.  In addition to being good, he had collaborated with almost everyone in the late 60s British Folk revival (members of Fairport Convention and Pentangle play on this.)

This is a big change from 1967s Hello and Goodbye; that's a psychedelic album with singing that would have done Richard Harris proud.  This is a folk-jazz album (and he toned the singing way down.)  It's good throughout, maybe a bit too understated as nothing really stands out.

I've been going through a chronological list of albums; 1969 had an unusual number of good to great albums.  Some of the old guard (Frank Sinatra, Elvis :elvis:, Miles Davis) were still making good albums; a number of early 60s artists were still around (Motown, The Beatles), The Laurel Canyon Scene and Haight-Asbury were still going strong, and a number of bands that would define the sound of the 70s (Chicago, King Crimson, Yes, David Bowie, The Delfonics, Led Zeppelin) were getting started.

Yes - Yes (1969)

All the elements of Yes are already in place in their debut; wild mix of influences, lengthy solos, three part harmony and Jon Anderson's odd worldview.  The album suffers from some bad mixes; their recording team were mostly inexperienced and didn't know what to make of Yes.  There's a few standout tracks on this; "Survival" is the best.  They cover The Byrds' "I See You" and The Beatles "Every Little Thing"; both are excellent reinterpretation, "Every Little Thing" is well worth the listen.

King Crimson-Three of a Perfect Pair (1984).
Continuing with my Crims run through.  This is the third and last of the early 80s Fripp, Belew, Bruford, Levin lineup. IMO while this also doesn't hold up to the first in this series, it is better than the previous, Beat. While Side One (left side) is mostly shorter, more commercial tunes, Side Two (right side) is more expressive, free form stuff which this Crimson period primarily lacked. There is a heavy industrial sound to a lot of Side Two which is unique. The album ends with a throw back to Larks Tongues and the song LTIA Part Three, which is similar in structure to Part Two but again, very industrial and 80s sounding.
This album also holds a special place in my collection as it's the first "new" Crimson I picked after I discovered them a couple years earlier.

That may be, but I feel there are others I listened to more often than that. :hmm: I apparently listened to Spotify for 500 hours this year ... which seems about right. :lol: Top genres: Power Metal, Death Metal, Soundtrack, Synthwave, Black Metal. That .... seems right. 75 genres total. :lol:

My top genre was Baroque.  :D
Probably because my classical listening is heavily focused in that era whereas the jazz stuff is split among a bunch of subgenres.

Handel's Messiah (London Philharmonic Orchestra)

I'm not sure of the year of this; but I think it was older since the sopranos in the choir kept over-driving the microphones.  There's usually two approaches to The Messiah; my preferred way is the understated performance best exemplified by Christopher Hogwood's 1980 recording with the Academy of Ancient Music and done with a small orchestra on period instruments.  This version goes the other way with a full orchestra and large choir.  This works well in the final act when all the music is performed in major keys and meant to sound triumphant; but in the first two acts it sounds over the top for the material.

Connie Han, Iron Starlet (2020) - 20-something pianist plays her own compositions and others by drummer/producer Bill Wysaske; strong frontline support on trumpet (Jeremy Pelt) and sax (Walter Smith III).  The music is mostly 21st century takes on an array of post-bop forms c. mid-60s to early 80s, with Han shifting from acoustic piano to Fender Rhodes as appropriate.  The marketing is . . .interesting. Album covers for this musical subgenre typically feature abstract art or a photo of the leader at work, whereas this album cover features Han posed draped on her piano in a revealing leather outfit with a raised eyebrow.  It seems to be working to some extent: Han has over 100,000 monthly spotify listeners which is pretty good for a relatively new artist in this niche.

Edmar Castaneda & Gregoire Maret, Harp vs Harp (2019) - Gimmicky concept consisting of (mostly) duos with Castaneda on harp, Maret on harmonica; vocals added on 2 tracks and banjo on another two.  The title is misleading, this is a collaboration not a cutting contest, with Castaneda showcasing the llanera harp's potential as a rhythm instrument.  Liked the lively first track; the rest was solid but didn't quite live up to that promise.

Miles Davis - In a Silent Way (1968)

I see a critic from Blender described this as a proto-ambient masterpiece (and he meant that as a compliment.)  This is the beginning of Davis's electric period.  It doesn't really sound by like a precursor to Brian Eno's solo music; it sounds more like a low-key Bitches Brew (Davis's next album.)  It's certainly more accessible (and much shorter) than Bitches Brew.

No that claim makes no sense for In a Silent Way.  There was a lot of music around that time that was trying to bridge the gap between bop and rock using a "chill" vibe - the first Charles Lloyd quartet comes to mind with Dream Weaver and Forest Flower.  ECM was founded in 69/70 and focused heavily on this style.

The proto-ambient claim could have made for more sense applied to On the Corner, which originally was conceived as blend of Stockhausen with a funk beat except it didn't quite turn out as planned.

Since you people are a sophisticated bunch, has anyone here tried Idagio? It brands itself as the go to place for streaming classical music. Spotify has a lot, of course, but sorting through it is woefully painful, because e.g. "Artist" for a symphony might list the composer, or the orchestra, or the conductor and there is no consistency between how the various distributors maintain their libraries on there.

It's true that the conventional streaming services make a mess of indexing Western concert music.  That said, with experience it's usually not hard to find what you are looking for (if you know what you are looking for).  the service looks intriguing, but it would mean carrying another full price streaming app.  I don't think the economics work unless that's the only music you listen to.

I was reading an anthology of poetry and came across the following from the Elizabethan poet Thomas Dekker:

QuoteGolden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

Care is heavy, therefore sleep you,
You are care, and care must keep you ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

I didn't know that's where Paul McCartney cribbed those lyrics from.  (The anthology was from 1941 almost 30 years before Abbey Road.)

Can't wait for their album to come out next month. They're in Vienna in March, and I would very much love to see them live, Corona permitting.  :)

They're often labeled "folk" metal because they incorporate Indian instruments and stylistic elements, but they sounds too "modern" to be "truly" folk metal IMHO. Wiki lists them as folk and nu metal, and sure, they have a melodic vocalist who does the Hindi lyrics, and a more rap-ish singer who does the English lyrics, I feel it does them a disservice considering how maligned the genre generally is.

Lorna Shore have had a rough time. Their old vocalist left in 2018. They got a new one, recorded an album, and then it turned out he was a sexually abusive POS, so they kicked him out.

The found with Will Ramos a new singer for their tour, he stayed on and they put out a new EP last year. The first single from it was "To the Hellfire", and ... well, best to listen for yourself:

https://youtu.be/qyYmS_iBcy4

The guy's vocals are incredible and he also put out a video where he does the vocals in a single take.

I recommend the video if you like your metal dark and heavy, don't need intelligible lyrics, love things to be maybe "a bit" overproduced, and need your breakdowns to be HEAVY.

Listening to some old school Neue Deutsche Welle, when it was yet a more underground and experimental indie scene rather than the a catch all term for popular German language music it became a few years later and led to many originators turning their backs on the genre.

A song I was not familiar with was Foyer des Arts with Wissenswertes über Erlangen: https://youtu.be/IkVM1Jt55kQ

It's a weird piece with basically a tour guide pointing out spots in Erlangen and later segueing into "tourists" talking about other nice places in Germany (all small to midsized towns) and mentality of their people (which sounds weird, but I've heard people have those discussions). I was generally confused by the song, then looked up the band and saw: Oh, it's Max Goldt. That tracks. :lol:

He's a satirical writer who I came to love in the 90s when he was writing for the monthly magazine Titanic. As Wikipedia explains: "Max Goldt's writing style is characterised by a fresh, frequently ironic perspective on familiar aspects of everyday life; seemingly tangential changes of topic, triggered by unexpected (yet arguably logical) associations; creative use of language, often combined with a critique of linguistic conventions in journalese and everyday language; frequent references to pop culture; ambiguity as to whether or not the narrator is relating the first-hand experience, opinions and sentiments of the author."

The Bengali Bauls - At Big Pink (1969)

Yes, that Big Pink.  The Bengali Bauls visited The Band in 1969; according to Robbie Roberston's autobiography "Testimony" they tried to jam, but it was just too weird for The Band just watched as The Bengali Bauls recorded an album.  From what I've read (though I make absolutely no claim to be an expert at being an expert in Indian music) this is akin to Indian folk music; while Ravi Shankar is more like Indian classical music.  This is pretty weird; with songs like "I Alone Have Caught a Fish" and "With What Flower Shall I Worship Your Feet?" still it's not bad.  If you can put up with sitar music you might like this.

The Bengali Bauls got a chance to meet Bob Dylan when they were staying in upstate New York.  They're on the cover of John Wesley Harding with Bob:

(https://www.hetplaathuis.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Dylan-Bob-John-Wesley-Harding-AU-1991-RH600.jpg)

One of the more amusing anecdotes from "Testimony" is that Allen Ginsburg showed up at Big Pink to jam with The Band with some air organ he had.  Robertson told him that The Bengali Bauls really wanted to see him again; so he immediately left and The Band was able to compose in peace.

While Big Pink did have a recording studio (both this and The Basement Tapes were recorded there); Music From Big Pink was recorded in Manhattan in A&R studios.

The Shaggs - Philosophy of the World (1969)

(They were named after the hairstyle; before Austin Powers (Yeah Baby!) Americans were mostly blissfully unaware of the British definition of "Shag.")

Their father (or maybe their grandmother, the accounts vary) was told by a palm reader (or had a premonition) that his daughters would become a successful pop group; so he pulled them out of school and made them practice every day.  They played at a nursing home and their town's community center and then he struck a deal with a shady record company to record an album (who only pressed 100 of the promised 1000 albums and then fled).  The results are one of a kind.  The songs have greeting card style lyrics, the singing is tuneless, the instruments sound cheap, the drummer seems to be playing another song than the rest of the band and the songs defy any sort of compositional logic.  It's not good, but it is fascinating; sort of like the musical equivalent of a primitive painter.

The group soldiered on until their father's death in 1975, then broke up and never performed again.  As you probably guessed (if you don't already know their story) Frank Zappa got his hands on one of their albums and said it was one of his favorites which led to their rediscovery (among the sort of people who would listen to Frank Zappa's favorite albums.)  The group allegedly hated the album and could not understand there was a resurgence.

Toots and the Maytals - Sweet and Dandy

Toots is still finding his way here; some of the tracks are a little rough and even the hits (Sweet and Dandy, Pressure Drop) aren't as polished as they would be in a few years.  Still its a fun album and there's a couple nice surprises along the way.

I don't really want a record player. I am happy to just listen to the album digitally. But I like the band a lot so wanted to support them.

Indian band Bloodywood have released a third song with video from their debut album. Previous songs were Gaddaar (about corrupt politicians stoking divisions and hate to win elections and enrich themselves), Aaj (about not giving up in the face of adversity), and now another awesome song (this time against rape):

Koko Taylor - Koko Taylor (1969)

Produced (and mostly written) by Willie Dixon; so I thought this was a passing of the torch album, but I see Dixon is only about 13 years older than Taylor.  In any event this is a great album; Koko belts out the Chicago style blues like only she could.  Her duet with Willie Dixon, Insane Asylum, (though it does sound suspiciously like an electric St. James Infirmary Blues) is on fire.  Some of the songs have rock influence; I thought that was kind of funny like Dixon had stolen from the people who had stolen from him.

The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed (1969)

Continues on in the same style as Beggar's Banquet; with maybe a slightly heavier sound.  There's a couple misses on it; most notably the re-working of "Honky-Tonk Woman" into "Country Honk," but the hits are great.  "Gimme Shelter" seems to foresee their participation at the Altamont Free Concert (about a week after the album was released); and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" will forever be quoted by pop-psychologists.  The two roots tracks "You Got the Silver" and their version of Robert Johnson's "Love in Vain" are both extraordinary; I think that's the best remake of a Robert Johnson song.

John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band - Live Peace in Toronto 1969

John slapped his band together practically the morning they were set to fly out.  (He had never drummer Alan White before; so white thought one of his friends was prank calling him pretending to be John Lennon.)  The results, on side one, are surprisingly good - something of a garage band take on rock standards (Blue Suede Shoes, Money and Dizzy Miss Lizzy) and Lennon/Beatles tracks (Yer Blues, Cold Turkey and Give Peace a Chance) if your garage band had John Lennon and Eric Clapton in it.  Side 2, where Yoko Ono... er... vocalizes is... uhm... a unique experience.  I can only assume that this album didn't survive into the 22nd Century; because Star Fleet could have totally used Yoko's vocals as a convincing substitute for the songs of humpback whales.

Fairport Convention - Liege and Lief (1969)

While they had a traditional English folk song on "Unhalfbricking" ("A Sailor's Life") and clearly showed some influence from English ballads on "Who Knows Where the Time Goes;" in this one they go all in.  All but two songs are arrangements of traditional English folk songs.  It does give the album something of a Renaissance Festival (HUZZAH!) vibe, (in fact in the bonus tracks there's a version of "Sir Patrick Spens,") but it is well done.

Melanie - Melanie (1969)

Different than most of her later work; this is confessional singer-songwriter music with elaborate orchestrations.  Sometimes it turns sappy or (like most of her later hits) childish, but she's also capable of sentimental and darkly funny as well.  The biggest fault on this album is she's still trying to find her way as a singer; she sort of sounds like New Yawk's answer to Grace Slick which doesn't work well for ballads.

I've been listening quite a lot to Namewee (aka Huang Mingzhi) after I first listened to his It might Break Your Pinky Heart (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Rp7UPbhErE) and posteing about it earlier in the thread. Basically every line and image in that music video is taking the piss out of the Chinese Communist Party, its supporters, and Xi Jinping personally. Naturally, Huang Mingzhi is banned in mainland China. He also went through a stint of being banned in Malaysia for his songs addressing social issues in that country (he's Malaysian Chinese, but lives in Taiwan).

The man is really quite prolific, usually collaborating with a different artist on each track. The music videos typically tell a story and are - conveniently - subtitled in English, Malay, and Chinese. In many of the cases the videos are loaded with symbolism and references, but not always (or maybe I just miss them, that's very possible too :D ).

One category of Huang's work is what I might call working class ballads.

Stranger in the North - 2016
A song about traveling to Beijing and looking for work dealing with themes of dislocation, alienation, pursuing your dreams but being discouraged, and longing for a home you cannot return to. As much of Namewee's work it effectively juxtaposes the beautiful pop-singing with rapping - in this case reflecting a 1st person view and a narrator respectively.

The song was originally a collaboration with Wang Leehom, a very popular clasically trained Taiwanese - American singer with a strong career since the early 2000s. However, in late 2021 Wang's Japanese-Taiwanese wife came out with allegations of verbal abuse, infidelity, and solicitation of prostitutes which led to Wang putting his career on indefinitely hold.

The video currently has more than 187 million views on youtube:

Stranger in the North has been covered by a number of Chinese pop-stars and internet personalities. One of them is Deng Ziqi (aka G.E.M.) a major pop singer from Hong Kong. Namewee and G.E.M. recorded another version of the song together in 2017.

Visually it's much less interesting than the original MV as it's basically just two people singing in a K-box. But G.E.M.'s voice absolutely lovely IMO. The English subtitles are subtly different in places, but I'm not sure whether that reflects a difference in text or it's merely an artifact of translation.

Currently at a little over 4.8 million views:

Sha Na Na - Rock n Roll is Here to Stay (1969)

As a rail engineer I feel obligated to say that a locomotive is a dangerous machine and trains cannot stop quickly; so please do not put yourself into the path of an oncoming train to retrieve a high school ring like the young lady does in Teen Angel.

 ;)

If you've ever seen the Woodstock movie there's a part with Sha Na Na in it near the end and the whole audience is going  :huh:.  1969 was the very beginning of the 70s era 50s revival; Elvis had his comeback album, The Flaming Groovies covered an Eddie Cochran song on "Supersnazz" and Al Kooper covers "Blue Moon of Kentucky" on "I Stand Alone."  Those were different than the 50s original: Elvis was going all Country-Soul, The Flaming Groovies look forward to The Ramones as much as it looks back to Rockabilly and Sam Phillips wouldn't have produced any number like Al Kooper.  Sha Na Na is different in that the remakes they're doing are very much in the spirit of the 50s singles they're covering; the problem is that they're never as good as the originals.

Time is a funny thing, it was about 10 years between the day the music died and Woodstock.  The Dell-Vikings to Jimi Hendrix seems like an unbridgeable gap, but today that would be like remaking "Call me maybe" or forming a One Direction cover band (not that I'm advocating doing either one of those things.)

It shows the power of desegregation plus technology.  You free white musicians to incorporate (appropriate?) the blues and soul; you free black musicians from the restrictions of the chitlin circuit and open up their engagement with the Euro-American avant garde.  You throw in technical innovation in electronics and electrical amplification in a context of a culture open to change.  Hendrix is an interesting case - after stagnating for a while in the traditional R&B circuit he made his breakthrough after teaming up with an Elvin Jones disciple from Ealing and a grammar school boy on bass.

They're much deeper than you'd think.

The one thing that struck me about Sha Na Na is that they sing both Doo Wop and early Rock and Roll.  In the 50s the musical styles were distinct and, (to the best of my knowledge), there was no crossover; but by the late 60s the two styles had become conflated.

As an example check out Elvis's :elvis: version of Rogers and Hart's Blue Moon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1PqU16gHbc) and the much more famous The Marcel's version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmCn_r_FCBo).

Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs (1970)

Recorded over a two year period (interrupted by some stints for psychiatric treatment) and with five different producers this one is all over the map.  Some of the songs feel underdeveloped (mostly those produced by Roger Waters and David Gilmour) especially Dark Globe, which seems to have the making of a great song - if it wasn't done in one take.  Even the more developed ones tend to sound burnt-out.  I had called Alexander "Skip" Spence "San Francisco's answer to Syd Barrett;" and, at least in the sense they both sound burnt out, this album bears a resemblance to Spence's "Oar."

There are a few tracks that I really liked, "Golden Hair" (a James Joyce poem set to music), "Octopus" (the albums sole single) and "Terrapin" are worth a listen; but overall I don't think the album works.

Still listening to Namewee / Huang Mingzhi. I thought I discussed the track that drew my attention to him to begin with on languish, but apparently I didn't. So I'm going to go into a bit more details now and cover one of his political songs.

Glass Heart

Like I mentioned briefly in my previous post, the song is a densely packed critique of the PRC and its defenders - both visually and lyrically. I'll discuss a number of the elements and metaphors - though I'm sure I'll miss some.

The song is addressed to "little pink" which is a term denoting Chinese nationalists (esp. on the internet) and their fragile glass hearts (that is, the ease with which they are upset or offended - essentially a way to say snowflake). The opening shot features (Xinjiang) cotton prominently, a reference to the use of slave labour and the practice of economically lucretive genocide, while the hobbit like environment indicates the official Chinese depiction of idyllic harmony.

The green leeks that the panda is carrying (and later chopping up) represent the common Chinese people ("harvesting leeks" is an internet expression meaning to take advantage of regular, poor Chinese people). NMSL is a short form for "your mother is dead", a favourite insult of Chinese keyboard warriors.

Namewee is collaborating with Kimberley Chen - a Taiwanese based singer - so when she sings "You claim that I belong to you... and urge me to declare our inseperable relationship and take care of your heart of glass" the political implications are pretty clear (referring not just to Taiwan but also the PRC claims in the South China Sea). The plush teddy bears don't look explicitly like Winnie the Pooh, but that's why they're there. There are a few other references that specifically call out things that Xi has said that have been mocked as being foolish or ignorant (the bits about walking 10 miles using a single shoulder and the one thousand is certainly beyond expectation - basically Xi was boasting about dumb ass stuff in his past).

The reference to hami melons is another slave labour cash crop, while Apple and Pineapple refers to media repression in Hong Kong. The rainbow motifs contrast Taiwan's tolerance vs that of the mainland.

There's a whole bunch more to it - especially if you speak Chinese and are attuned to Chinese internet/ pop culture.

Musically - the song is another duet, a charming little pop song with R&B style elements, no rap, and a catchy chorus.

Kimberley Chen and Namawee are completely banned from mainland China as a result of this song.

Currently at: 43 million views on youtube.

Alestorm, the Sco'ish Pirate Metal band are coming out with a new album: Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum ( :lol: / _bleeding: ). The first single is "Magellan's Expedition."

Surprisingly for Alestorm, generally known for their silly and comedic elements, the song is a fairly straight retelling of the journey.

Still, the song is pretty good, IMHO.

Unfortunately, the video is a bit "eh" (no comparison to e.g. Fannybaws which featured Peter Dinklage as the eponymous diminuitive pirate or even the one for Fucked With An Anchor which was shot in the recording studio).


Quote"Magellan's Expedition" – an epic quest telling the tale of Ferdinand Magellan's historical circumnavigation of the earth in 1522. The official video was filmed on location in a castle, features tons of pyro, and of course, a huge yellow laser-eyed rubber duck fighting a young maiden warrior, transforming her into a real, beautiful duck! Featuring majestic orchestral backing, whirling folky violins and huge Latin choirs, this song is classic ALESTORM like you haven't heard in years – a real throwback to the early days of Captain Morgan's Revenge!


For reference, Fucked With an Anchor (a great earworm and amazing singalong):


And Fannybaws with awesomely bad CGI effects and wonderfully disinterested Peter Dinklage.

I was listening to Alestorm's latest studio album, Curse of the Crystal Coconut when I was taken out of it a bit when in Wooden Leg Part 2 (The Woodening) there's a section I would swear was done on a C64 SID chip.

Cute, I thought, and kept working. On Spotify the album is the 2 disc deluxe version. Disc 2 is the same songs as the main album, but done in C64 8bit sound, and bitcrushed vocals. It's lovely, though now I want instrumental versions. :lol: :punk:

Italian dwarven power metal band Wind Rose are coming out with a new album in June, their second with Napalm Records. They've released two songs/videos so far. If you liked their previous album Wintersaga and its fantasy power metal with dwarven choir vocals, then you will like this.

Last month they released Gates of Ekrund (https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Ekrund) (one for the Warhammer Fantasy fans :P ) with a rather lovely CGI battle:


Yesterday they released Together We Rise. It's good, but I think Gates of Ekrund is much better; and the CGI is also not quite as good in this:

Charles Mingus, Jazz Workshop Concerts 1964-65

Today is the 100th anniversary of Mingus's birth.  His music sounds of his time but still fresh, he pushed against the boundaries of convention but stayed listenable.  1964 is peak Mingus IMO; Eric Dolphy was a key contributor until suddenly dying that summer from combination of an undiagnosed diabetic condition and medical negligence by a Berlin hospital.

Blind Guardian are working on a new album, too. Depending on whether or not you count their latest (2019's Twilight Orchestra: Legacy of the Dark Lords, which was fully orchestral, with Hansi Kürsch's vocals being the only band member performance), it will be their 11th or 12th studio album since the band's founding in 1984.

They were one of the first metal bands I was really into, from 1992 onwards. Their early albums (1988's Battalions of Fear, 1989's Follow the Blind, 1990's Tales From the Twilight World, 1992's Somewhere Far Beyond, 1995's Imaginations From the Other Side) had a steady upward trajectory in terms of quality, culminating in the excellent concept album Nightfall in Middle-Earth from 1998, adapting motifs from the Silmarillion. Personally, I would divide the band's history into two sections: before Nightfall, and after. Imaginations had been a shift in tone, but Nightfall is IMO the real watershed for them.

2002's A Night At the Opera was still great IMHO with several excellent songs, but there was a drop compared to Nightfall, and in hindsight it was "a little" overproduced. But Nightfall had been on a level that would have been difficult to repeat, either way. A Twist in the Myth followed in 2006, and was - to me at least - another drop in quality.

So I was skeptical when At the Edge of Time came out in 2010. However, I loved the album. Yes, the songs are still overproduced and bombastic, but the quality of the songs was just much better than on the previous two outings. Unfortunately this was not quite repeated with Beyond the Red Mirror. It's not a bad album, but I would rank it between Night at the Opera and Twist in the Myth.

Twilight Orchestra: Legacy of the Dark Lands didn't grab me much, though I may need to give it another chance. I like metal/classical mixes, and Blind Guardian have continuously added orchestral elements and experimented, trying to find the balance between sounding awesome and being hilariously overdone. But a purely classical album from them is not really something that grabs me.

Anyways, they've released two songs from their upcoming album so far.

Secrets of the American Gods: It's fine. Listening it one or two more times probably needed for me to "click".


The other is Deliver Us From Evil. And I love this one. It sounds familiar but new, and I enjoy it a fair bit. Blind Guardian is one of those "feel good" bands for me - their texts usually are inspired by fantasy novels and adjacent genres, they have a rather pleasant sound overall, and Hansi's voice is still killing it. :)

They popped up for me a few years back with their cover of "Diggy Diggy Hole" on some reaction channel.

That title is a good link to the meme discussion:

The origins of the song was the Yogscast streaming Minecraft and one of the guys badly improvising a basic dwarf/digging tune. The clip achieved meme status, with some remixes, until eventually the Yogscast made it an orchestral dwarven anthem with a cartoon animation video to go along with it. Which, eventually, was covered by Wind Rose.

The evolution is summarized in this video (it contains full versions of the Yogscast and Wind Rose versions, too):


In short: the internet is weird. :P

Brides of Lucifer - your answer to the question "What if metal classics had their vocals replaced by female choir?". The result is a bit of a mixed bag, with some quite good (Pantera's Walk, Dio's Holy Diver, Manowar's Warriors of the World), and some not so good (Chop Suey!). YMMV.

IMHO the best cover from their album is of Behemoth's O Father O Satan O Sun which was a bit of a surprise:

New video out today by Rammstein:


Title: Angst (Fear).

Not terribly subtle, it looks at "traditional" Germans' fear of the "other", personified by the Black Man (who, tellingly, is absent throughout the video and therefore more imagination than real - the only people of color seen are the refugee mother and child). It references the old kids' game "Wer hat Angst vorm Schwarzen Mann?", see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Bulldog_(game)#Black_Man

Also not very subtle for the Germans to eat what Wikipedia calls "Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats", generally now called "Schokokuss" (chocolate kiss) or "Schaumkuss" (foam kiss) since the old names "Negerkuss" (negro kiss) or "Mohrenkopf" (moor's head) have fallen out of fashion. (In Austria, they're called "Schwedenbombe", i.e. "Swedish Bomb," because a Swedish friend helped the Austrian producer Niemetz to develop them for the Austrian market at the time.)

I like folk songs.  European or French Canadian folk songs appeal to me, for some reason.  This one is from New Zealand, 18th century, sang by shore whalers, originally.  It can be heard on Tik Tok, some dance fad:

I also have a fondness for rock/metal covers of popular songs.  I usually have to have like the original song to like the cover, though, so no cover of Despacito will make me love the song :P

So, here's one from Bryan Adams, originally:


The singer is from Halocene (clearly the band's leader, her husband playing second role). Cole Rolland is the guitar player, he seems really good (He's also done a Bon Jovi cover).  Don't know the bassist and drummer, they seem ok.



Now, of interest to the geeks out there (do we have any here? ;) :P )
Less "traditional" than the other one, but still pretty good. :)

Dicke Titten - aka Fat Tits. They lyrics reflect the POV of a middle aged lonely man, looking for a woman. He stresses he doesn't demand much: she doesn't have to be beautiful, she doesn't have to be rich, or smart, and she even doesn't have to kiss him ... but she must have big tits.

Warning: around the 4:15 mark, during the end credits, you briefly see blurry black and white boobs. :P (which is a lot more restraint than I expected from the video's title - no reverse birthing in bloody detail this time ;) ). It does mirror the ending of their Zick Zack video where one of the grannies briefly flashes her boobs at the end. :lol:

Also, the video, according to the end credits was filmed in Ellmau, in Austrian Tyrol.

Keith Jarrett Trio - Standards Vol. 1 (1983)

First album from the "Standards Trio" - Jarrett, Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette - which performed and recorded for over 30 years.

This is an exceptional group that defined the piano trio for their generation, but for me it is marred by Jarrett's vocalizations. Such vocalizations are not unusual in piano players - Thelonious Monk, Oscar Petersos, Bud Powell, among others, but Jarrett's on this album (and some of the other Std Trio recordings) are so loud and extreme that I find it hard to focus on the music.

It's hit and miss for me. The Imperator soundtrack was great ... but seemed to only have a handful of songs. Problem is that with how long you play their games, the soundtracks become repetitive quite fast, and usually they're not of the quality that you'll happily listen to them for countless hours on end - YMMV, of course. E.g. the music in Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim doesn't bother me in the slightest even after countless hours of playing them, and there's plenty themes from them I'm very fond of. With Paradox games I find it better to put on some period appropriate playlists on Spotify or Youtube and have those on, or create my own.

MC5 - Back in the USA (1970)

Nowhere near as raw and exciting as "Kick out the Jams;" but it has its moments.  This is sort of their take on old time rock 'n roll (the opening track is "Tutti Frutti" and the closing is Chuck Berry's "Back in the USA"); loud, fast and revolutionary; but also all about adolescence.  Allmusic describes it as prefiguring both punk and power pop; I could sort of see the Ramones doing some of these songs (minus the revolution of course, they just wanted to sniff glue and be a lobotomy.)

John Sebastian - John B. Sebastian (1970)

Sometimes sappy, sometimes silly, often in the spirit of the times; but much more eclectic than The Lovin' Spoonful  (he even has the Ikettes singing backup on one of the songs.)  This moves away from the Spoonful's poppy sound to more confessional singer-songwriter territory.  For the most part it's pretty low key affair, a lot of the songs sound like songs to be sung around a campfire.

Just heard on NPR that Linda Rondstadt is Mexican.

I googled it, and all I can get is that her paternal grandfather was half German half Mexican.  So her father was presumably 3/4 Mexican.

No mention of Linda's mom, so I'm guessing she was gringa.

She did a number of Spanish language songs (I think mostly Mexican folk songs) later in her career.

The nerd podcast I listen to; Fallo de Sistema, had two of Michael Jackson's recording engineers on.  They were in Madrid to deliver a Captain Eo seminar (no, I didn't know there was such a thing either.)  They had worked with him between Bad and HiStory; I learned that Jacko would warm up for two hours before singing on the records.  There was pitch correction back in those days, but (of course) they never had to use it for Michael.  In some songs you can here Jacko dancing, if you listen carefully; they didn't mic his feet, it was spontaneous and it's recorded through the voice mic.  I also learned that the great gloved one would sometimes compose songs by beatboxing them out;  and they'd build the songs over that ("They Don't Care About Us" was one example they gave.)

Paul McCartney - McCartney (1970)

Recorded at Paul's home studio; it's certainly less slick and well produced than anything The Beatles had done.  It's not bad, "Maybe I'm Amazed" is a good song, and there are some interesting musical ideas on a couple others (though they don't seem completely developed.)  There are also points where he really could have used John around to tell him his song was awful, notably "Teddy Boy."

Fun videos too, but man did Bryan Ferry in later years over-do the American crooner with perfect teeth look.

Also brought back found memories of spending a chill evening/night in a club with Phil Manzanera (Roxy's guitarist) , Andy Mackay(Roxy's sax/oboeist) and their band.

I really liked the Eno-Manzanera projects like 801, how could they only do just three gigs before coming up with a superb live album.

And 'Diamond Head' was pretty good also.

Happened to watch an old TOTP from February 1980, amongst the various pop acts, was an AC/DC performance; a bid odd and it seemed to be their original singer; turns out it was Bon Scott and arguably this was his last performance* as he drunk himself to death with a week whilst staying in London.

They have to rank up there as one of the bands with the biggest gap between how popular they were in their time vs how forgotten they are in later days.

QuoteFlying pigs and drugged-up sheep: the inside story of rock's most outrageous cover art

Mark Blake's Us & Them is an entertaining biography of Hipgnosis – the maverick artists with a flair for overblown, death-defying designs

On 3rd December 1976, a 40-foot inflatable pig broke its mooring above Battersea Power Station and took off over the London skies. Warnings were issued on TV and radio, flights from Heathrow were halted and the police sent a helicopter up to chase it. Down below, members of Pink Floyd leapt into their cars and fled the scene, a photo shoot for their album Animals, which is arguably more celebrated now for its extraordinary cover than the music it contains.

It was a decade when record sleeves were considered so significant, fans would carry LPs under their arm to advertise their tastes. Psychedelia opened a door to new ways of visualising music in the 1960s, before progressive rock brought sleeve design to a whole other level of overblown grandeur, involving elaborate gatefolds featuring abstruse concepts and impossible scenes.

At the heart of this were two arty misfit friends of Pink Floyd from their Cambridge school days: fiery intellectual Storm Thorgerson and urbane wide boy Aubrey 'Po' Powell. They were barely out of their teens when they created the dazzling psychedelic cover for Floyd's A Saucerful of Secrets in 1968. Calling themselves Hipgnosis, they rapidly became the most influential album design company in the world, creating iconic art for many of the most celebrated musicians of the era.

I can understand the likes of Jeff Lynne re-recording his classic tracks/albums, in order to gain a new copyright for something they never had a decend royalties deal on.

And at the same time, try to improve it.
And if you're Jeff Lynne play virtually every instrument a well.

The Moody Blues - Every Good Boy Deserves Favor (1971)

I haven't listened to this in a very long time.  I remember hearing the lyrics in "My Song"

Love can change the world
Love can change your life
Do what makes you happy
Do what you know is right

And thinking "Mike, you gotta pick one or the other."

 ;)

This is better than I remembered.  The rocker "The Story in Your Eyes" is one of their most sophisticated and one of their best.  "Emily's Song" is also a standout track.  There is no goofy Graeme Edge poem, but there's still certainly plenty of Moody goofiness (most notable "Nice to be Here") and the arty tracks are as wonderful and as cosmic as ever.

I've heard Waters wanted Dark Side of the Moon to have a "Dry" sound (that is, without after effects.)  It would be interesting to hear his vision (well, that's an awkward phrase, how about "Hear what he intended") but I don't think it would work out as well as the original.

it's probably going to be similar to his recent version of Comfortably Numb. It's atmospheric, but stripped down of any "rock and roll" whatsover

Fela Kuti - With Ginger Baker, Live!  (1971)

Not an album to soothe your migraine to (;)).  Ginger is only on about half the tracks; other than the bonus track (Ginger Baker and Tony Allen Drum Solo) it's a Fela Kuti album rather than a Ginger Baker one.  It's a good representation of his early sound; and, while the band isn't as big as they would become, they still cook and still sound great.  The sixteen minute Ginger Baker and Tony Allen Drum Solo isn't my thing; they are great drummers but sixteen minutes is way too long for a drum solo.  (I guess it would actually be a drum duet in this case.)

Surf's Up (1971)

This is more of a Carl album than a Brian one; the harmonies are still gorgeous, but nowhere near what they had been on the previous "Sunflower."  The subject matter is all over the place from a couple surprisingly political tracks ("Don't Go Near the Water" and "Student Demonstration Time") to the weirdness that had been present since Smiley Smile ("A Day in the Life of a Tree," and "Take a Load off your Feet," which is about feet) to a full blown Brian Wilson existential crisis ("'Til I die.")  There are some real gems notably here Carl's "Feel Flows" and Brian's "Surf's Up."  It's good, maybe too strange to be great.

Isaac Hayes - Shaft: Music From the Soundtrack (1971)

I read that Black Moses had a high squeaky voice before puberty.  That must have been quite a surprise to his classmates.

The theme song is awesome; the the 20 minute groove "Do Your Thing" is pretty cool, the rest of the album is serviceable.  If nothing else it's better than the movie.

The Bee Gees - Trafalgar (1971)

I'm really not sure what to think about this:

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sTmHfgy2yuw/UtVGd5vgDUI/AAAAAAAADEw/ozYeE9vpxro/s1600/100914+482.JPG)

Even though that's the gatefold and the cover is Pocock's "Battle of Trafalgar" there's only one song about the Napoleonic Wars (Walking Back to Waterloo; there is a song called "Trafalgar" but it seems to be about introspection.)  "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" is the biggest hit off of this (it was originally written for Andy Williams, but I don't think he would have sung it the way they did.)  The rest of the album is okay; nothing else really stands out.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Pictures at an Exhibition (1971)

After listening to this I've come to realize that Vladimir Poutine has a point; he's not entirely wrong to hate and fear the west.

 ;)

This isn't the worst adaptation of classical music to rock that I've ever heard (A Fifth of Beehtoven or maybe Night on Disco Mountain deserves that prize) still I didn't think this was good.  I really don't get the appeal of Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

I'm a big fan of Prog rock; but I don't rate ElP that highly. I do like some of their stuff, but by and large they needed a producer to tame their excesses

I think their appeal was partly because they were a supergroup, already big names in their own right, and what they were doing was seen as pretty avante garde at the time.

And they scored an MOR hit with Lucky Man, that helped

And live, watching, Emerson stab his keyboard with a knife or play as his keyboard flew and flipped upside down would have been a novelty.  Like I said they were excessive.

They quickly wore out their welcome though.


Their first album and Karn Evil Nine are their best

EDIT: Actually the album is not Karn Evil Nine, but Brain Salad Surgery. Karn Evil Nine, being the only thing really worth listening to on it.

Roy Haynes is 98 today.  So Roy Haynes.

Mentioned this before but will again while its still true.
In 1949, Bud Powell led a small group recording at WOR studios in New York.  The following year, the trumpeter Fats Navarro died.  Powell suffered severe physical and mental health issues, effectively ending his career by the late 50s and contributing to his death by his early 40s.

But two participants in that session are still alive more than 70 years later.  Roy Haynes and Sonny Rollins, both in their 90s.  Knock wood.

The recordings can be heard until the album title, The Amazing Bud Powell Vol. 1.  The title is accurate in all respects - it features Bud Powell, he was amazing, and it was released before volumes 2 and 3.

Anthony Braxton - For Alto (1971)

About 3/4 of the double album is made up of sonorous, haunting solo sax pieces.  On the remaining 1/4 he sounds like he is torturing a burro.  It's impressive he got a saxophone to sound like that, (assuming he was actually playing saxophone and not, in fact, torturing a burro,) but it's really not my thing.

Paul Simon – Paul Simon (1972)

(This is actually Rhymin' Simon's second solo album.  His first was unreleased in the United States.  He made in England after he had broken up with Art Garfunkel for about the fourth time, but before "Sounds of Silence" became a hit.)

Comparison's to "Bridge Over Troubled Water" are inevitable as this is the fist album after the final breaking up of Simon and Garfunkel (other than a couple concerts and a few tracks on Greatest Hits albums.)  There aren't any show-stoppers like "The Boxer" or "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," but he continues with the broader experimentation and instrumentation of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters."  It's not the big leap that "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" was ahead of "Bookends" (or, for that matter "Bookends" was ahead of "Parsley, Sage Rosemary and Thyme.")  It still sounds like Paul is writing his solo songs for Simon and Garfunkel; it's not bad, but it's hard not to notice Art's absence (not that I think Simon and Garfunkel could have survived into the 1970s, even if they had more compatible personalities.)

I'll give Paul Simon credit for not trying to follow the singer-songwriter craze of the era, "Blue," "Plastic Ono Band" and "Tapestry" all came out in late 1970 or 1971.

Eubie Blake - Memories of You

These are a collection of Blake's songs from the late 1910s and 1920s.  They're taken from piano rolls so, unlike a lot of early jazz recordings, the sound is crisp.  There's some debate over these are really recordings, or if these are a proto-jazz form like ragtime or the stride; but that's well beyond my understanding.  To me they sound like music that's usually paired with the silent Felix the Cat cartoons.  His best known pieces are on this, Memories of You and I'm Just Wild About Harry - the latter comes from a musical, possibly the first African American musical produced on Broadway, probably the first that featured a serious love story between two African-Americans.  (Scott Joplin had written a musical and maybe an opera as well :unsure:, but those weren't performed on (what was back in those days called) The Gay White Way.)

Whether or not these are really jazz, Blake was the real deal.  As a young teenager Blake used to put on his one pair of long pants and sneak out of his parent's house to play piano in a whore house.  He lived a very long life, he was forgotten after the 20s, rediscovered when "I'm Just Wild About Harry" became Truman's unofficial campaign song, forgotten again, rediscovered in the 60s and ultimately awarded the presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan

"Weird Al" Yankovic was only very mildly known in Germany when I grew up - Fat and Eat It had made it on the (sparse) German video clip shows of the day more as an oddity than anything else.

It was in 1992 that a friend bought his 1991 album Off the Deep End and I copied it to tape from him (remember those days? :P ).

At any rate, yesterday after work I felt like listening to something amusing on my way home and put on this album on Spotify.

The songs are still funny, but I feel Trigger Happy, which felt like an over the top parody in 1992 feels a bit too real in 2023, when folks get shot for ringing the wrong doorbell, turning into the wrong driveway or accidentally mistake a stranger's car for their own.

He had wanted to do a parody of "Black or White" as the lead single on that album.  Fortunately Michael Jackson told him no.

My personal favorite by Weird Al is the video for Dare to be Stupid. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMhwddNQSWQ)  He made a Devo video better than Devo ever did.

Also see his biopic if you get a chance.  It's easily the most factual and accurate rock biopic ever made.   ;)

Alice Coooper - School's Out (1972)

It's hard to listen to the early Alice Cooper and think what might have been if only his band had been able to put up with the guy in make up with the snake.  They're far ahead of Aerosmith in terms of the garage sound and, for theatrics, Kiss wasn't even formed yet. 

It wasn't to be and they'd go their separate ways in a few years.  This is a great deal of fun; with the best use of a children's choir this side of The Wall.  This is Cooper's first concept album and, other than the title track, there's no hits and almost nothing else he performed in concert (Public Animal #9 has sometimes popped up.)  The songs are more story oriented; I think "Gutter Cats vs. the Jets" (POW!) is great.

Big Star - #1 Album (1972)

You can hear the bands they'd influence on this (notably Tom Petty and The Eagles.)  To me they sounded like a poppier take on the harder blues-rock bands of the time like Mountain or Fog Hat.  It's good, but I don't really get why they're legendary (other than they never really made it big.)

Superfly - Curtis Mayfield (1972)

I hadn't listened to the lyrics that closely before; they might not be as brilliant as the music, they're still well done.  They capture both the bravado of the protagonist (especially Superfly and Pusherman) as well as the desperation of the characters (notably Pusherman and Fred is Dead.)

Mayfield grew up in Chicago (in the Cabrini-Green Projects) the other Impressions were from Chattanooga.  I read a critic who said that this had to be a solo album as the Impression's country drawls wouldn't have fit the tone.  I'm not so sure, though, Issac Hayes grew up on a farm.  (Although this is a much better album than "Shaft.")

I wonder who did the flute on "Fred is Dead," I don't think even Motown's flautist, Bean Bowles, ever got his flute to sound that funky.

I haven't checked out Anthony Vincent in a while (I think he also took a break?), but someone sent me a link to his "Cha Cha Cha (Käärijä) in the style of Rammstein" which came out a couple of days ago. Well, the style works pretty well, because the Finnish Eurovision entry already sounds very much like a slightly softer Rammstein (hell, the singer has basically the Rammstein logo tattooed on his chest, albeit with a different "R" :P ).

Anyways, he's done some more "song in x styles", and while I thought some of his older stuff was better, these two were still pretty fun. :)

Supertramp - Breakfast in America (1979)

The album works on the strength of its singles (The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger, Breakfast in America and Take the Long Way Home.)  I think those are the finest songs Supertramp made.  There's a couple other good tracks on the album (I like Gone Hollywood and Child of Vision) but the other ones are mostly forgettable and the three on the second side (Lord is it Mine, Just Another Nervous Wreck and Casual Conversation) seem to run together.  There's occasionally an interesting solo, but not so interesting I could remember which song which solo came from.

Child of Vision was closest for the original concept for the album, where two people (and specifically the two songwriters, Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson) constantly talk past each other.  It's an interesting concept, but almost certainly wouldn't have worked as well as the album they made.

The Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady (2001 re-release)

I'd never listened to the Buzzcocks before; they never had a charting single in the United States.  I read they reunited and opened for Nirvana for Nirvana's final tour, but I must not have paid attention (and grunge bands were always doing weird things anyway, like when Soundgarden played with that spoon virtuoso.  It was best not to get too involved.) 

In any event this is pretty good.  While they clearly took a lot of inspiration from The Stooges, they remind me a lot of The Ramones in that they could be funny or heartfelt; but always adolescent.  (And, like the Ramones, they have an awful lot of singles considering there's only so much you can do with three chords in three minutes.)

Recorded a couple of old 'Top of the Pops' earlier, watching them, there's some good singles amid some real dross, but the real stand out was:

Donna Summers - 'I Feed Love'

I can't remember it's impact at the time, but it sounds near revolutionary compared with the other singles on the programme.

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dreams (1993)

Takes the ideas from Gish and moves them far ahead with a much fuller and much heavier sound.  It's surprising this was made at all; James Iha and D'arcy Wretzky broke up (not that they actually played on the album), Jimmy Chamberlain's substance abuse problems got worse, and Billy Corgan was... well, Billy Corgan.  (I guess he was even more Billy Corgan than usual when making this album, but even average level Billy Corgan provides a hefty challenge.)  In any event everything works on the album from the rockers to the dream pop ballads.  They'd go even bigger (and longer) in the next album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

The Doors - LA Woman (1971)  :cool:

The end of the line for the Doors.  This is their blusiest album, but most of the blues songs ("The Changeling", "Cars Hiss by my Window", "Been Down so Long" and the John Lee Hooker cover "Crawling King Snake") are forgettable, with the exception of "WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)" which Jim gives more poetic lyrics to than the others.  This has two of the best Doors longer pieces "LA Woman" and "Riders on the Storm"; I think those are the best since "The End" on their debut album.  "Love Her Madly" is the other big hit off of this; it's pure Robby Krieger, but in my opinion, having the guy who could write the pop tracks is what made The Doors The Doors.  The other tracks are "L'America" which was written for an avant-garde film, and sounds like it; and "Hyacinth House" which starts out promising, but really doesn't go anywhere.

I don't think The Doors ever lived up to their first album; they had a number of good songs, but it just never seemed to come together the way their "The Doors" did.  Dying at 27 was probably the best career move for Jim; they may have been able to make a couple more albums, but I can't imagine them surviving on into the late 70s.  The rest of the band tried to soldier on and Ray Manzarek does sound remarkably like Jim Morrison, but they could never bee The Doors without Morrison.

Madonna - Ray of Light (1998)

Holy cow!  Madonna can actually sing.  :o

 ;)

Okay, I think we knew that since "Like A Prayer."  Still this album surprised me, there's no ear-worms, some of the songs are challenging and it's consistently good.  The album combines the 90s era techno with Middle-Eastern rhythms (Madonna had recently converted Kabbalist Judaism), it struck me as Madonna's most "Detroit" album (although I think she was trying to be British at the time.)

It's not on this album, but in the song "Open your Heart" if his heart is closed shouldn't he have the lock and Madonna have the key?  :unsure:

I think his anger and rage at economic inequality is genuine and well expressed - and it obviously resonates across the world.

Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets (1973)

Sort of Glam Art Rock; knowing Eno's story you can imagine this being the missing link between early Roxy Music and David Bowie's Triptych.  (He does try to sing like Brian Ferry on a few songs, not all that successfully.)  The lyrics are suitably weird, including, among other things, a celebration of A.W. Underwood (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._W._Underwood) a man from Paw Paw, Michigan who could allegedly set things on fire with his breath.  (Paw Paw is Michigan's answer to Macondo. ;))  The music is pretty cool, especially the title track; I like that because it sounds like a series of different musical ideas which eventually unite.

And if you throw in Wolverhampton, with the likes of Beverley Knight and through in the wider West Midlands I think it rivals the Mersey Beat and could mount a challenge on London as the heart of modern English popular music.   :bowler:

That is still broadly true... But make a compilation of top tracks from the 10s (too early to say for the 20s but it looks potentially worse...I don't think I've encountered any good bands formed this decade yet) and any random week from the musically better decades before will be an absolute joke.

As long as I'm here:

Oscar Peterson, London Concert (1978)

First track is an up-tempo take on "It's a Wonderful World", with Oscar showing off all his virtuosic tricks.  And I think, Damn! Why don't I listen to more Oscar Peterson??

Second track is "People," much of it played schmaltzy a la Streisand.  And I think:  Oh yeah, that's why I don't listen to more Oscar Peterson.

I'll say this - when he is on and the material matches the man, there are few that could match him.

Well I took a listen to 'Who's Next' and am not sure where I stand on the issue, the three musicians sound in balance and together, though one could say this is probably Moon's most together and controlled performance on a studio album.


Also just giving The Cult's 'Sonic Temple' a listen, what a fine album.   :)

Chick Corea - Light as a Feather (1973)

There's still a lot of Samba influence on this; though it's much funkier than João Gilberto (there are even funky flute solos  :cool: .)  Flora Purim does a fine job on the vocal tracks but, in my opinion, the wildest ride is the closing track "Spain."

Gram Parsons - GP (1973)

Parsons' first solo album (and only one released during his lifetime); this is also Emmylou Harris's breakthrough album.  The album isn't as consciously Merle Haggard as "Sweethearts of the Rodeo" or Louvin Brothers as "Gilded Palace of Sin," he seems to be finding his own voice a bit more here.  It's not as revolutionary as his previous albums, though, other acts had started catching up (notably The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band who's "Will the Circle" was released the previous year) and lyrically there's some misses here (notably "The New Soft Shoe.")  Still a good album, especially the Harris-Parsons duets.

The title track was written for Martyn's friend Nick Drake; the album does sound something like a tribute to Drake (though nowhere near as bleak as "Pink Moon.")  It's eclectic, pushing Martyn's folk music into jazz and blues territory; but undeniably mellow.

Iggy Pop and the Stooges - Raw Power (1973)

If you're going to go out, go out with a bang; Iggy's performance is both brilliant and unhinged.  The original mix (done by David Bowie) is muddy; but it was done with a minimal budget.  The 2023 mix is much cleaner; but even the Bowie mix is raw and exciting.  I was going to write "Why were the Sex Pistols such a big deal?  The Stooges were every bit as raw and as loud and they were much better musicians (admittedly that was beside the point)", but then I re-listened to Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps."  You could say the same thing about Nirvana and Neil Young, but there was nearly a generation of kids who had never heard "Rust Never Sleeps" when "Nevermind" was released.

John Cale - Paris 1919 (1973)

I had found this album on some "Greatest Album Ever Made" list or other, after hearing it I had to look up to make sure that it was the same John Cale as the Velvet Undergound's electric violist.  It was indeed, while I'm familiar with Cale's avant-garde work, the fact that he made a baroque pop album I found mind blowing.

He doesn't have the range of the BeeGees (and he doesn't have anyone to harmonize with) but a number of compositions on this are excellent.  It's too bad we're all too old for a college dorm room bull session; as this would be the crowd to analyze the lyrics to the title track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5YHqWqhFkU) with.

Todd Rundgren A Wizard, A True Star (1973)

Todd had been hailed as the male Carole King with the success of Something/Anything?  This follow up album is in a decidedly different direction.  Rundgren had been using hallucinogens and (according to him) this album reflects that, where songs don't really begin or end conventionally they just occur (going into a medley of I'm So Proud/Ooh Baby Baby/La La Means I Love You/Cool Jerk at one point and a rendition of Never Never Land from the musical Peter Pan at another.)

There are no singles on the album, though the anthemic "Just One Victory" sounds like it could have been one.  The album wasn't a commercial success, but he had been so successful as a producer that he could do what he wanted in the studio and not be overly concerned about it.  This isn't going to be for everyone, but I liked it.  It reminds me of some of the weirder Beach Boy experimentation.

That could be, it certainly is over-played.  I wouldn't put that in my top five most hated Christmas songs, though.  (Let's see: Dogs Barking "Jingle Bells", "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas", "Last Christmas", Madonna's version of "Santa Baby", Paul McCartney's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time," and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" so not even in the bottom six.)

Since I don't have Sav's patience - my favorite albums from 1973 in one go:

McCoy Tyner, Enlightenment: Tyner put out a series of great albums in the early and mid 70s; this live date is one of his best.  Lacks the supporting cast of Extensions, also released in the same year, but Tyner stands out all the more because of it.

Elvin Jones - Live at the Lighthouse: live double album from Tyner's former bandmate and Coltrane alumnus. Master class from drumming GOAT.

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire: Five decades out, it's clear that jazz-rock fusion was a dead-end, and rock-and-roll itself is declining into senility.  Still the very best fusion albums stand the test of time; Mahavishnu' Inner Mounting Flame was among the very best, and Birds of Fire is the annex to it.

Dave Holland, Conference of the Birds: If you are a white 20 something from the Midlands trying to get street cred as a bass player, you can do worse than get picked by Miles Davis to feature on Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way.  Holland parlayed that cred into a long successful career as a leader, starting with this one.  Taking on two leading avant garde saxophone players, he provides six original pieces that regular humans can listen to.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Prepare Thyself to deal with a Miracle: To the extent Kirk is remembered today, it is for playing 3 reeds at once and his late career gags with Jay Leno.  The fact that he was the equal of the great sax players of his day got lost. This album is top notch late Kirk, full of joy, fun, a little weirdness, and Grade A blowing.
 
Donald Byrd - Blackbyrd: jazz-funk classic and last commercial success for the original Blue Note Records; now best known for inspiring Nas' NY State of Mind on Illmatic.

Charles Brackeen – Rhythm X: An Ornette Coleman album, featuring Ornette's supporting cast, but with Brackeen as leader instead of Ornette. Brackeen is no Ornette Coleman, but he can play, and more importantly, he can give his sidemen room to work, resulting in one the finest performances in Charlie Haden's long and distinguished career on the bass.

Herbie Hancock - Sextant: Hancock released two albums in 1973.  One of them, Head Hunters, became first jazz album to ever go platinum.  The other was Sextent, a commercial flop.  For my 2 cents, Sextent is the better record but YMMV.  Either way, tolerance for early 70s synth effects is required.

Pharoah Sanders Izipho Zam: like Sextent, this is easily identifiable as a product of its time, from the Swahili title to Leon Thomas' yodeling vocals, and Sanders' transitions from trancelike drones to wild honking. Billy Hart holds it together on drums.

Quote from: The Minsky Moment on December 26, 2023, 01:53:14 AMSince I don't have Sav's patience - my favorite albums from 1973 in one go:

McCoy Tyner, Enlightenment: Tyner put out a series of great albums in the early and mid 70s; this live date is one of his best.  Lacks the supporting cast of Extensions, also released in the same year, but Tyner stands out all the more because of it.

Elvin Jones - Live at the Lighthouse: live double album from Tyner's former bandmate and Coltrane alumnus. Master class from drumming GOAT.

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire: Five decades out, it's clear that jazz-rock fusion was a dead-end, and rock-and-roll itself is declining into senility.  Still the very best fusion albums stand the test of time; Mahavishnu' Inner Mounting Flame was among the very best, and Birds of Fire is the annex to it.

Dave Holland, Conference of the Birds: If you are a white 20 something from the Midlands trying to get street cred as a bass player, you can do worse than get picked by Miles Davis to feature on Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way.  Holland parlayed that cred into a long successful career as a leader, starting with this one.  Taking on two leading avant garde saxophone players, he provides six original pieces that regular humans can listen to.

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Prepare Thyself to deal with a Miracle: To the extent Kirk is remembered today, it is for playing 3 reeds at once and his late career gags with Jay Leno.  The fact that he was the equal of the great sax players of his day got lost. This album is top notch late Kirk, full of joy, fun, a little weirdness, and Grade A blowing.
 
Donald Byrd - Blackbyrd: jazz-funk classic and last commercial success for the original Blue Note Records; now best known for inspiring Nas' NY State of Mind on Illmatic.

Charles Brackeen – Rhythm X: An Ornette Coleman album, featuring Ornette's supporting cast, but with Brackeen as leader instead of Ornette. Brackeen is no Ornette Coleman, but he can play, and more importantly, he can give his sidemen room to work, resulting in one the finest performances in Charlie Haden's long and distinguished career on the bass.

Herbie Hancock - Sextant: Hancock released two albums in 1973.  One of them, Head Hunters, became first jazz album to ever go platinum.  The other was Sextent, a commercial flop.  For my 2 cents, Sextent is the better record but YMMV.  Either way, tolerance for early 70s synth effects is required.

Pharoah Sanders Izipho Zam: like Sextent, this is easily identifiable as a product of its time, from the Swahili title to Leon Thomas' yodeling vocals, and Sanders' transitions from trancelike drones to wild honking. Billy Hart holds it together on drums.

Are you a fan of Gato Barbieri?  I'm just curious because I think his two best albums are from 1973 "Bolivia" and "Part 1, Latin America."

(Latin America has some of the best liner notes that I've seen.  They describe how he made the album with a band in some remote corner of Peru; they'd have to do things like stop production if they broke a drum head to slaughter a goat to make a new head.  One of the players said that he was an 800 year old magician; but the next day admitted he was lying and was really only 500 years old.  "Latin America" is the perfect title for that album.)

I haven't heard any of the albums on your list, I'll have to give them a go.

I'd heard an album he did called Caliente, but not the two you mentioned.  Not sure how I ever missed Bolivia, given that it has Lonnie Smith on it and Stanley Clarke and John Abercrombie. AND Airto - is there anything from the 70s he didn't get on?  Great line up.

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure (1973)

A brilliant, disturbing art-rock cacophony; this is the group's second album and the last one with Brian Eno.  The love song to a blow up doll "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" is one of a kind.  I was surprised at how much "The Bogus Man" sounded like Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" (though this was well before even the Landslide had brought down Fleetwood Mac.)  Brian Ferry credited Cole Porter as an influence to "Do the Strand," with its discordant sax solos that's quite an interpretation of Porter.  In any event I loved it; but I realize this one isn't for everybody.

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (1973)

When I was a teenager I remember Dragon Magazine (:nerd:) used to have an April Fool's edition which included some of the odder letters they had received.  There was one that I remember which was really rambly and ended with "Also, why do you think there are naked babies on the cover of Led Zep Album?"  Why I don't know why Dragon Magazine would be an authority on the subject (other than they both ripped off Tolkien), I still think it's a fair question.

 ;)

More musically diverse than their previous work: sometimes that works the reggae influenced "D'yer Mak'er is a lot of fun; other times not so much their attempts to be James Brown and the JB's in "The Crunge" leave something to be desired.  Robert Plant's lyrics are sometimes a stretch ("This is the mystery of the quotient/Upon us all a little rain must fall"), but at least no one had a bustle in his hedgerow this time through.  Other than "The Crunge" the music is fantastic; some of Page's best work to date and the rest of the band is solid as ever.

On the subject of Robert Plant's lyrics; I once heard an interview with Ian Anderson where he addressed the feud between Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin.  He said it was his fault because, in an interview, he said something along the lines of "If you took my lyrics and Zeppelin's guitars you'd have a tight little band; thus earning Plant's enmity.  (I imagine the rest of Jethro Tull knew who they were dealing with by that point.)

I hadn't heard of it before listening to the interview; so I'm not sure how long it lasted or how significant it was.  You might be interested in the interview; it's on the 1996 Special Edition of "Aqualung."  I found it on Amazon Prime Music (it's probably the other services as well.)

David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (1973)

(https://direct-ns.rhap.com/imageserver/v2/albums/Alb.200332525/images/600x600.jpg)

I once went as Aladdin Sane to a Halloween party.  Nobody got it and I got a headache from not wearing glasses for several hours.   :(

Still an iconic album cover and an iconic haircut.  Written on the Ziggy Stardust tour of North America and recorded shortly thereafter, the album does have something of a whirlwind feel to it.  Bowie seemed trapped by his alter-ego and didn't know how to get out until Young Americans (really David Live, but that's an album for fanatics only.)  Aladdin Sane and Halloween Jack are simply variations of Ziggy and Pinups is Ziggy sings mid-60s British rock (not that I don't love Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs, and even Pinups has its moments.)  This album is saved from being a reiteration of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust by the addition of avant-garde jazz pianist Mike Garson; his solos are phenomenal and it gives the album a wonderfully off-kilter sound. 

The main problem with the album is that Bowie doesn't seem to know if he wants to do another straight-ahead glam rocker or a retro-futurist torch singer album.  (While it's easy to find fault with this I've never faced a dilemma like this, you haven't either, in fact I'm pretty sure that only David Bowie has ever faced a dilemma like this.)  The songs individually are all great (except his cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together," which was a bad idea clumsily realized), but it doesn't play together the way that the previous album did.

The Wailers - Catch a Fire (1973)

As I mentioned before, I usually put this album on when I go through Detroit's east side, especially in the area by the Packard Plant.  While there are a number of upbeat songs, there are some that sound flat out apocalyptic.  "Concrete Jungle" and "400 Years" just seem to capture the vibe of that part of the city.

In my opinion this is The Wailers best album; they never harmonized better and they were never better produced.  Having Peter Tosh write and sing lead on a couple songs adds a depth to the album.

The album has a perfect end with "Midnight Ravers", but listening to it with the bonus tracks ("High Tide or Low Tide" and "All Day All Night" works out too.  I think that's because "All Day All Night" manages to sound like a sinister song, despite the lyrics.

Paul Simon - There Goes Rhymin' Simon

More of the continuation of the work he did on "Paul Simon."  He does more harmonizing and has someone to sing the falsettos, so some songs sound closer to Simon and Garfunkel then what was on his previous album.  It's a decent album all around "Kodachrome" and "Loves Me Like a Rock" are the big hits off of it.  I think anyone with a  Christian religious background will immediately recognize that he lifted the melody for "American Tune" from "Oh Sacred Head, Now Wounded."

Had Paul Simon ended his musical career at the end of the 70s, I think his studio albums from the era ("Paul Simon," "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" and "Still Crazy After All These Years,") would be remembered as solid continuations of Simon and Garfunkel adapted for the '70s.  They're good, but none of them are as remarkable as either the first side of "Bookends" or "Bridge Over Troubled Water".  As it is, though, listening to these it feels like we're just killing time until we get to "Graceland."  (Of course no one at the time had any way of knowing that.)

Hawkwind - The Space Ritual (1973)

A lot of the bands I've listened to of late are ones that I have heard before and from artists that I've followed extensively.  I never listened to much Hawkwind (although I once saw The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain perform Silver Machine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EX4hxiRCZ0) (oh and that's not a guitar on the end, it's a bass ukulele. (;))))  I think that's one reason that I have mixed feelings on this album: on the one hand the music is great, they rock really hard and it's so tight that it's hard to believe that it's recorded live; on the other the Astral Poetry is kind of stupid.  I love the Moody Blues, so it's likely that if I had listened to this when I was younger I would think Hawkwind was brilliant (if a tad goofy) as well.

What she got ain't rock'n'roll, and it really blew my groove

It was (Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven)
It makes me wanna scream
(Bach, Tchaikovsky, violins)
Turn it off, that ain't my scene
Well, I'm sorry girl, here's my confession
I suppose a rock's out of the question?

Mott the Hoople - Mott (1973)

From what I've read, a lot of people wondered if Mott could survive without David Bowie.  They did, and came back with an even better album than "All the Young Dudes."  I'd put this as one of the masterpieces of Glam (admittedly not a huge category) along with "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust" and "Electric Warrior."  They couldn't survive success, though, and Mick Ralphs would leave to form Bad Company after this album.  Ian Hunter would go solo shortly thereafter. 

It seems like there shouldn't be so many songs about loss innocence and regret after just one successful album (All the Way to Memphis, The Ballad of Mott the Hoople); but that is what Ian Hunter did best.

George "Pops" Foster - George "Pops" Foster and Art Hodes (1968)

Recorded shortly before George "Pops" Foster's death; this is a conversation between Pops and pianist Art Hodes with an occasional break for songs.  It's interesting in that Pops seemed to know all of the first generation of recorded Jazz musicians from New Orleans (I mean the good ones, The Original Dixieland Jass Band doesn't show up in any of his stories) and he just casually mentions Louis Armstrong, Kid Orly, Sidney Bechet or King Oliver as he's going along.  They are fascinating tales of brothels, rotgut, goat-carts and losing his band in New York City (I mean they wandered off and didn't know where they were.)  The music isn't bad; but not as interesting as the stories.

The New York Dolls - The New York Dolls (1973)

No, I don't think it would actually be a crime to fall in love with Frankenstein; although you may want to check your state and municipal law.

Three chords, no talent, the New York Dolls were punk before we had a word for it.  Unfortunately, at the time they got lumped in with the Glam movement (largely because of the way they dressed) and I have my doubts a lot of Mark Bolan's fans would appreciate this. 

I came across a factoid that they were named both the best new band and worst new band in the readers poll of Creem magazine.  They do sound like they're carrying on the torch for Iggy Pop and the Stooges or the MC5; but at the same time they seem too weird for Detroit.

This is a series of singles by the "Hot" subset of a larger dance hall band (the Phil Specht Orchestra.)  It's surprising to me they had so many singles in such a short time (there's 19 songs on the album, although I guess some of them could be the B-sides.)  It's also surprising that there are songs sung from a woman's perspective sung by men.  That could have been more common in the 1920s, but I haven't encountered it yet.

Just shooting from the hip - in that era women weren't allowed in bars or taverns, so you had to have male performers?

In America of the 1920s no one was allowed in bars or taverns.   ;)

(They did have women singers on a couple of their songs, (and they were a dance hall band,) so I don't think that's it.  Though the tradition could have come from an earlier era.)

Stevie Wonder :cool: - Innervisions (1973)

I was recently reading the Michelangelo part of Vasari's "Lives of the Artists," he described Michelangelo's (relatively few) completed sculptures (with typically Vasarian hyperbole) as done so that if a single grain were removed the entire work would fall apart.  I thought of that when listening to this album; changing a single note might not destroy the album, but nothing could have improved this.

I think this is Stevie's best album; just raw straight ahead funk interrupted, just long enough for the listener to get his breath back, by the occasional wistful ballad.  It's also a large influence on hip-hop (for better or worse) with the introduction of skits.  He'd have several more great albums, but nothing as tight and together as Innervisions.

The Isley Brothers - 3+3 (1973)

The first album to officially list their younger brothers and a son-in-law as part of the band (hence 3+3.)  This is much more rock influenced than their previous albums and includes covers of James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," The Doobie Brothers' "Listen to the Music" and Seals and Crofts' "Summer Breeze."  (As a fair warning, not even the Isley Brothers can give James Taylor songs soul.)  "That Lady" is the big hit off of this one, but it's solid throughout.  The cover:

Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On (1973)

His first album since 1971's "What's Going On," this album covers decidedly different subject matter.  (I'm surprised "You Sure Love to Ball" was released as a single, that's a little racy.)  Marvin had achieved almost complete creative control over his albums during "What's Going On," and he uses it with a multi-layered funk album (which is all about sex.)

Most of the recording was still done in Detroit either at Motown or Golden Studio, but production was moving almost entirely to Los Angeles and a few tracks were recorded at Hitsville West.

Maria Muldaur - Maria Muldaur (1973)

I found following from Wikipedia about Midnight at the Oasis:

She has acknowledged that people do approach her at her concerts or events and claim that this song has inspired sexual encounters, loss of virginity, and pregnancy.

and thought that was funny after having just heard Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On" (both released the same week); her songs are a little more subdued than Marvin's.  Also I will always associate the song with "Waiting for Guffman," it's not the most romantic rendition of the song, even if Fred Willard does have what most men would dream of.

 ;)

In any event this is kind of a 70s soft rock take on folk music.  It works out for the most part.  She assembled quite the band, with no less than Dr. John on the piano.

Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle (1973)

In most ways a step in the right direction from "Greeting from Asbury Park, NJ."  The band is really starting to gel and developing the sound that would define Springsteen for some time to come.  He's moved away from the folk inspiration from the previous album to a more old time Rock and Roll and R&B sound.  The problem is that the compositions aren't quite there.  There's no duds like "Mary Queen of Arkansas" or "Does this Bus Stop at 83 street?" but, other than "Rosalita", there's no gems either (unpolished though they were, the previous album had "Growin' Up," and "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City" as well as hits for Manfred Mann "Blinded by the Light" and "Spirits in the Night.")

Interestingly, his lyric role model moved from Bob Dylan, to Van Morrison; and he creates a romantic look back at suburban New Jersey the way Van Morrison did for Belfast.

I assume some people here will be familiar with Orphaned Land, an Israeli metal band.

One of their more well known songs is Norra El Norra from 2004:


To quote from https://genius.com/Orphaned-land-norra-el-norra-entering-the-ark-lyrics

QuoteThe lyrics for "Norra El Norra" derive from the Jewish prayer service for the night beginning Yom Kippur, the Jewish "Day of Atonement". Jewish prayers follow the paradigm of what might in other contexts be called "praise service"; on that most holy of nights, the congregation sing praises to God to "soften Him up" before asking Him to forgive their sins. "Norra" is the Hebrew word for "terrible" or "terror-inspiring", and "El" is a form of God's name. "Norra El Norra" is an appellation that translates to "Most Terrifying God", appropriate for prayers on the night on which Jews believe God passes judgement on them for their behavior the preceding year.

In the context of the "Mabool" album, the characters sing this praise to God as the flood rains begin and they enter the ark, to thank Him for sparing them from obliteration.

There's now a ... well, I guess you'd call it remix? :D Normally not much into such techno/dance stuff, but somehow it reminded me of early 2000s video game soundtracks a bit, like C&C Generals maybe?

I've been reading up on Motown.  When they were starting in the late 50's it was just accepted that everyone was going to work for an automotive company.  Smokey Robinson was planning to be an electrical engineer, but took what we would call a "Gap year" in order to try to make it as a musician; which obviously worked out.  Eddie Holland (of the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team, and a singer in his own right in the early days) was planning on becoming an accountant.

Also in the early days the British record companies viewed Motown as "Race" music who they thought would have limited appeal in the UK (the only radio station that would play them was a shortwave station) however the companies also recognized the quality of the compositions; so a number of artists recorded Motown covers.  This changed after the Beatles recorded three covers on "With the Beatles" (Money, Please Mr. Postman and You Really Got a Hold on Me) and The Rolling Stones covered "Can I get a Witness."

Interestingly enough, all three Motown songs were cut from the US release of "Meet the Beatles," called "With the Beatles;" (to no great loss.  I don't think the Beatles covered Motown very well.)  The Rolling Stones were much better, "Hitch Hike" and "Just My Imagination" are both fine covers.

Listening to some of the old Motown songs, I think it's funny that it's the Marvin Gaye estate that's suing people for copying the feel of a song.  Had that rule been around in the 50s and 60s Motown would have been sued out of existence before Gaye released his first single on the label (I'm Afraid the Masquerade is Over (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOxSLb_c_k0).)

Back in the early days Berry Gordy had a rule that if a record was selling within 100 miles of Detroit, Motown would have its own version.  Sometimes the results are dreadful It (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsU6reIg7ew) by Ron and Bill (Ron White and Smokey Robinson) was their attempt to cash in on "Purple People Eater."  Other times they work out My Beloved (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD6C8gB0hZk) by the Satintones is the Motown version of "There Goes my Baby" by the Drifters.  Sometimes they're really blatant rip-offs Blibberin' Blabbin' Blues (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7mq9hWPoDI) by Gino Parks is obviously "Yakety-Yak" by the Coasters and Popcorn and the Mohawks' Shimmy Gully  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6a_fUHb3A0) is a sped up version of The Hully Gully by the Olympics.  (They did actually get sued for Tomorrow and Always (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9ePgZKuG14) by the Satintones (a rip-off of "Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow" by the Shirelles); but they did copy most of the lyrics as well as the tune.)

Fortunately they eventually quit doing that and developed The Motown Sound, but that would take a long time.

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound (1973)

Allmusic describes this as a melding of the hard rock of their previous album, Foxtrot, with the eccentricity of the albums before that.  I thought then Peter Gabriel got the eccentricity in the divorce, Genesis got the hard rock and the prog must have been sold off to pay for the lawyers.

Knowing what would happen you can sort of hear both sides of Genesis melded together; especially the sole single "I Know what I Like, (In your Closet.)"  Most of the album, though, is much more prog than that.  It works on the strength of the groups musicians and Gabriel's imaginative lyrics; but, in my opinion, they were both better off going towards shorter poppier songs.

I may check that out.  Moving away from Dylan was definitely the right call for him.  His most dylanesque song "Blinded by the Light" is okay because they really sound like they're enjoying themselves.  I dislike the far more serious Manfred Mann version (even if they are singing about feminine hygiene products.)

I'll always prefer Herbie Hancock the pianist to Herbie Hancock the organist and I'm not a big fan of the whistles on "Watermelon Man;" but "Chameleon" is a great jazz-funk fusion and the other two tracks are pretty good.  I think this is the second largest selling jazz album of all times, (behind "Kind of Blue)," so it's quite a bit more accessible than most jazz-fusion.

David Bowie - Pinups (1973)

The last hurrah for The Spiders From Mars, but unfortunately the weakest studio album of Bowie's 70s era work (I prefer it to "David Live").  Bowie did a number of covers over his career, but an album of covers just didn't work out.  The only song that's better than the original is "Sorrow" (originally by the Merseys.)  He deserves credit for trying to do something different with "See Emily Play," but it's just not very good.  The other songs are very much like the originals.  It's not bad, but as compared to his other work from the era it's a disappointment.

The Who - Quadrophenia (1973)

Inevitably this will be compared to "Tommy."  The story is much more coherent (admittedly that's not high praise) and composition is more sophisticated; using leitmotifs to imply characters or occurrences.  The problem is the hits aren't as good as those in "Tommy."

The strength of the album, in my opinion, is the lyrics.  Townshend manages to capture the confusion and alienation of youth very well.  This is especially impressive as The Who are reconsidering the period of their own origins.  I think there would have been a tendency to wallow in nostalgia for Mods or, perhaps, critique it.  The album does neither, but instead simply presents it.

Interestingly, my two favorite Who albums are the ones immediately before and after the rock operas (The Who Sell Out and Who's Next respectively.)  I think they avoid the excesses of Tommy and Quadrophenia while still being loaded with great songs.

For having the better hits, I was specifically thinking of "Pinball Wizard," "Acid Queen" and "I'm Free;" I don't think Quadrophenia has anything as iconic as those tracks (the first two would go on to become hits for other artists.)  I do really like 5:15 on Quadrophenia; it seems like a great throwback (though considerably more sophisticated) to the "Maximum R&B" that defined their early sound.
Title: Re: What are you listening to?

Quadrophenia may not have had "hits" but it had some classic radio staples such as Love Reign Over Me, The Real Me and Dr. Jimmy.

I like Baba O'Reilly from Who's Next, but Behind Blue Eyes is a bit overplayed. Although just looking at it, I can see some great tunes on it too like Going Mobile and Bargain.

Could be an age and stage thing. I agree Sav, there are bigger hits on other Albums.  But Quadrophenia is my sentimental favourite. Perhaps because the lyrics spoke to me when I heard them in the 70s.

The Wailers - Burnin' (1973)

Released just six months after "Catch a Fire" and the last album featuring the original lineup; Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer would leave after this one and the band would become "Bob Marley and the Wailers" after that.  Given those factors this is surprisingly good; with some of the Wailers best known songs: "Get up Stand up" and "I Shot the Sherriff."  The album is much more confrontational than their previous work; going so far as to answer Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers to Cross" with "How many rivers do we have to cross, before we can talk to the boss" in "Burnin'".  I don't think it's as good as "Catch a Fire," but it is better than any of the other Wailers or Bob Marley and the Wailers album that I have heard so far.

The Incredible Alex Harvey Band - Next

What was the fascination with Jacques Brel in the early 70s?  There was Rod McKuen, David Bowie, Scott Walker and Alex Harvey all singing translations of his songs.

In any event this is a hard rocking glam album with the occasional cabaret song thrown in.  It's more Sweet than David Bowie (in fact it was produced by Sweet's producer, Phil Wainman), "Gang Bang" or "Giddy Up A Ding-Dong" sound like they could be Sweet songs.  On the other hand they were capable of a great deal more sophistication; both lyrically (such as the sinister Faith Healer) and musically (as they turned Jacques Brel's next into an over the top tango.)

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery (1973)

I was amused at the Allmusic review which goes on a bit about the improvement Pete Sinfield's lyrics brought to the album.  While that's not wrong, he does write about Gypsy Queens, Vaseline and guillotines.

This does have some high points; I like the honky-tonk Benny the Bouncer.  The obligatory romantic ballad ("Still you turn me on") is as dreadful as ever.  Jerusalem is an interesting idea; but I've heard it done better.  Karn Evil 9 is okay; not something I'd listen to very often, but it's better than most of ELP's extended pieces.  I think this is their best album (of the one's I've heard.)  The other ones I really don't see the appeal, but this one I could see why someone would like this.

Yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with this band. I think the stuff they do that is good, is really good, but they can be quite terrible as well. I'm a prog rocker, but I don't rate these guys that high. Mind, they're all very good musicians, but just over the top with their pomposity, I guess.

I think they're usually more intent on showcasing their virtuosity than writing a good song; which is why it often comes across as over-the-top pomposity.  The Moody Blues, in my opinion, were more successful at the classical-rock fusion as they put priority on songwriting.

James Brown - The Payback (1973)

Intended to be the soundtrack for the sequel to Black Caesar.  James Brown says it was rejected for not being funky enough; but no one else remembers it that way.  Though almost 75 minutes, there are only eight songs; each one a slow-cooking James Brown groove masterpiece.  The Payback and Forever Alone are the better known songs, but each of them is solid.  This, surprisingly, would be one of James Brown's last great records of the seventies as it sounds like that groove could go on forever (though maybe not in the disco era.)

The Chieftains - The Chieftains 4 (1973)

At times like a cèilidh at the pub at times like a chamber music concert at a college auditorium; but it works well together.  This is the first of their albums with their long serving harpist Derek Bell.  They'd have their breakthrough in the United States shortly after releasing this.  My parents were folkies and, while they always preferred The Clancy Brothers, they listened to The Chieftains a lot as well.

We finally lost Roy Haynes at age 99.  I think Sonny Rollins only prominent musician left from that generation - guys who played with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in the 1940s.

Haynes started out as a drummer for Lester Young playing in a 1930s swing style, but kept on top of things enough to be used on some live dates by John Coltrane in the 1960s and kept on playing to the 2010s.  He's probably on over 1000 recordings, but my top 3 are:

The Amazing Bud Powell (1949-51): one of the ur-musical texts of the bebop era.

Jackie McLean, Destination Out (1963): McLean had to battle a reputation as a Charlie Parker imitator - sadly including following Parker's heroin problem. He kicked the drug, had a breakout album with 1962's Let Freedom Ring, breaking with the old style and embracing the new. Destination Out was a follow up and probably his best; Haynes' drumming is a big contributor.

Dizzy Reece, Manhattan Project (1978): Jamaican trumpeter, well-respected among fellow musicians but sadly under documented and mostly forgotton.  Love the side personnel on this one, led by Haynes.  Recorded by a now long defunct mom-and-pop label based in Chicago.

Bonus Selection: Track 3 on Sonny Rollins, Road Shows Vol 2 (2011).  Live track from Sonny Rollins's 80th birthday show at the Beacon theater in 2010, where Rollins was surprised by special guest appearances from Ornette Coleman and Haynes (Christian McBride on bass). Only time Coleman and Rollins played on the same stage.

Cortijo and his Time Machine (y su Máquina del Tiempo) (1973)

Puerto Rican conga master and band leader united with some younger Latin jazz musicians and created this fusion album.  It's incorporates elements of funk and uses some of the more exotic instruments of Latin America which made me think of psychedelia.  The result is like a collaboration between Niles Rogers and Tito Puente with maybe some inspiration drawn from the 13th Floor Elevators.

Charlie Rich - Behind Closed Doors (1973)

This has a very seventies pop sound melded into country; it's densely layered with orchestration throughout.  It sometimes gets sappy (notably "We Really Love Each Other") but, for the most part it's solid.  "Behind Closed Doors," and "The Most Beautiful Girl" are the big hits off of this.  It's strange some of the things you remember.  I remember "The Most Beautiful Girl" being a hit; although I must have been very young when it was released.

Steeleye Span – Parcel of Rogues (1973)

Originally conceived as an theater piece as the background to Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped.  This album takes traditional Scottish and English Ballads and puts them to electric guitars and drums (for the most part, the title track is sung a cappella.)  It's not really folk-rock; rather it's more like electric folk.  Steeleye Span was part of the late sixties-seventies British Folk Revival (originally it began a spinoff of Fairport Convention.)  It's different from the other bands (that I'm familiar with) from the movement with it's heavy use of electric guitar.

Michael Petrucciani Trio, Live at Jazz Club Montmarte (1988)

Live double album, just re-released on streaming services presumably because of Roy Haynes' recent death (Haynes drums in the trio).  Petrucciani was one of the best pianists of his generation but died tragically young due to a rare and uncurable bone disease.  Three top players in their prime on this one. Haynes cooks.

Cal Tjader – Primo  (1973)

Sort of a Mambo-Bop fusion by Latin Jazz vibraphonist, Cal Tjader.  This is one of his last albums, he had started with Dave Brubeck back in the 1950s and then fell in love with Mambo and released a series of Latin albums.  He's got a great band backing him (six percussionist with none other than Tito Puente on the timbales, for one), but I'm not a huge fan of vibes; so this wasn't really for me.

Classic "American" animation, done by a good Japanese studio, TMS (Cobra Lady Oscar/Rose of Versailels.) so above average though varying in quality from an episode to another. The featurettes on the DVD have the creators saying they did not have the  animation A-team for all episodes.

Ella Fitzgerald - Ella in London (1974)

Recorded at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in Soho.  I think her voice was starting to go a little at this point, not like Billie Holiday or anything, but I don't think sounded as sharp as she did in her 50s and 60s era American Songbook recordings (of course that could be due to this being a live album.)  In anyway it's a lot of fun, especially as she scats her way through different genres like country and western or soul train music.

The Grateful Dead - Anthem of the Sun (1968)

I've been reading a biography of the Grateful Dead; and I can see some of the elements from their story in these songs now.  The most notable one is "That's It for the Other One," which is about their time with the Merry Pranksters.  "Cowboy Neal" is Neal Cassady (Dean Moriarty from On the Road) who did in fact drive the Prankster's bus.  "Caution (Do Not Stop On the Tracks)" (in addition to being good advice) was one of the first songs they composed when they were a very loud bar band called The Warlocks.  They were jamming and Pigpen started singing/mumbling about a gypsy woman.

Even by their standards this one is out there, it's several studio recordings and live shows spliced together in sort of a musical collage.  They were trying to make something avant-garde like John Cage or Karlheinz Stockhausen (at one point they put a gyroscope on a piano to produce aleatoric music), the problem is their skills as producers and sound engineers were lacking at this point so it tends to sound muddy more than anything.  Though it is probably as close as one can get today to attending an Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

MIKE - Showbiz (2025)

I came across this on Pitchfork; they described him as sounding like MF Doom.  They do have quite similar voices, but they're worlds apart in terms of content.  MIKE's work is confessional, while Doom raps about food and being Dr. Doom.  It isn't bad, but all the songs have the same slower tempo and, to me, all started to run together (most likely because I'm older.)

The Byrds - Eight Miles High (1966)
John Coltrane - India (1961)

Oexmelin in another thread was talking about history involving making causal linkages. For some reason, my youngest son became interested in 1990s era heavy metal - over the weekend we were watching a video of Neil Young playing at Bob Dylan's tribute concert (the one where Sinead O'Connor got booed) and he starting to complain about Young's playing.  I pointed out that Neil Young was definitely an influence on Pantera, his favorite band. He responded that Pantera had not mentioned Young as an influence, citing the unquestioned authority of Wikipedia.  But I responded that Eddie Van Halen was listed as an influence, and Eddie was definitely influenced by Neil Young.

That brings me to son 2, who is musically inclined and was talking yesterday about late 60s psychedelic rock and 60s-70s prog rock and the carry over influence.  I mentioned off-hand that Coltrane had started all of that stuff, and he scoffed.  So I played the two songs listed above.

Eight Miles High is a pretty important milestone in psychedelic rock - the Beatles and the Yardbirds were playing around with similar ideas, but Eight Miles High hit the radio before Revolver was released.

Coltrane's India was played live in 1961 but not released on record until a few years later.  Eight Miles High isn't exactly the same song but it is pretty similar.  The bass line is turned into a rock vamp, David Crosby's rhythm guitar takes on the role of McCoy Tyner's heavy left hand, and McGuinn tries his hand playing Coltrane-like lines on lead guitar.   Michael Clarke is no Elvin Jones, but then again Coltrane and Dolphy didn't have the Byrds spooky vocal harmonies and the Byrds managed to complete the song in a radio friendly duration as opposed to India which filled most of a 60s era LP side.

It's probably true that lots of the 60s/70s bands didn't listen to Coltrane, although without looking it up I'm 99% sure King Crimson did and probably Jimmy Page/John Paul jones too, among any others.  But even the ones that didn't were influenced because they all listened to the Byrds.

Melbourne, Florida is not exactly a high culture mecca so if you like classical music you have to take what you can get.  A couple weeks ago we saw a string quartet perform Vivaldi's Four Seasons; that was passable.  For their encore they played selections from Astor Piazzolla's Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.)  I hadn't heard that before.  Their version, unfortunately, was flat and lifeless, but I found a version conducted by Piazolla and that was every bit as manic as his other works.  He does make some musical references to Vivaldi and more generally to the baroque.

The Grateful Dead listened to Coltrane, they credit him as an influence; that's something else I learned from their biography.  I'd expect that a number of the San Francisco Bands from that era who had roots in the art scene (The Great Society, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape) also listened to John Coltrane; he was a regular performer in San Francisco and their style of jamming owes a debt to jazz improvisation.

I really don't know about the Los Angeles bands; they seem more influenced by folk and the Wrecking Crew (although someone in The Doors was a fan of Kurt Weill.)

Bix Beiderbecke - At the Jazz Band Ball (released 1990)

I found a quote from Randy Sandke saying "If Louis Armstrong is the Sophocles of jazz, Bix is its Aeschylus."  That amused me, though I have no idea what the Aeschylus or Sophocles of jazz would mean.  (Presumably Dizzy Gillespie is the Aristophanes of jazz, who is the Euripides?  Maybe Miles Davis?) I've read other critics that thought Beiderbecke is only so well remembered (relative to his contemporaries) because he lived in Chicago which, unlike New Orleans, was a music industry hub at the time.  I think some of the critics ire comes from that a lot of his recorded work is commercial standards; but when he does jazz he does it very well.  This collection has a bit of both.  I did like his jaunty take on "Old Man River," Paul Robeson will always have the definitive version, but it was nice to hear it in a different light.

The issue with Beiderbecke is that for most of his very short career, he played for non-integrated white dance bands like the Whiteman orchestra, that were very commercial and featured musicians who may have had technical merit but no jazz feel.  There are exceptions like Frankie Trumbauer but overall Bix didn't have many recordings that match the small group Armstrong Hot 5s and 7s. That said, there was a period of a few months in 1927 when Beiderbecke released a series of singles featuring small groups playing the equivalent of jazz standards: Traumbauer played on most of the sides, and a young Jimmy Dorsey makes an appearance on a few singles.  Those singles were collected in Volume I of the same 1990 Columbia compilation release you were listening to.  Bix's rep as a jazz player to a significant extent rests on those recordings and I think based on that it is well merited.  Were there other good players that remain obscure because they didn't get a similar opportunity to record?  Probably but that's always been true.

Sparks - Kimono My House (1974)

The title is a pun on Come on-a my House, the Rosemary Clooney song.  They don't actually sing that song (though they did sing Do Re Mi from The Sound of Music on their previous album.)  This is Sparks first foray into glam rock; this is unusual.  They adopted the electronica and experimentation similar to David Bowie or Roxy Music, but the lead singer (Russel Mael) sings almost everything in a falsetto.  Some of the songs work very well by doing this, others are just strange.

My 12 year old son is a rock n roller :punk: who was unfortunately just born a few decades after his favorite genre of music stopped being super popular. But he has a band of kids who go around and play in various venues. Usually Greenday and Led Zeppelin and that kind of thing. So I go to a lot of youth music stuff now.

Recently, he performed at the school talent show, Possum Kingdom by the Toadies (he assured me afterwards he didn't really want to die, it is just the lyrics of the song).

But anyway during the show the kids were doing their various stuff, usually to the sorts of modern pop songs I am used to in these kinds of shows. But at one point this girl gets up there with her piano and informs us all she is going to play her favorite song, which is by John Lennon.

So now she has my attention. I am thinking "wow this 13 year old kid's favorite song is by Lennon? What could it be?" So my brain scrambles for a bit and think well it's probably not "Cold Turkey" or "Tomorrow Never Knows" so it's Imagine right? It's got to be Imagine. Ok, kid, let's hear your best Imagine.

So she starts playing and I suddenly realize her favorite song is "Let it Be" and it was all I could do to not jump and say "hey kid that's Paul McCartney not John!" but I restrained myself. She did a good job (just the piano part, she didn't sing or play the guitar solo or anything). But what does it say if you buy the music for any Beatles song Paul wrote? "Lennon-McCartney" so joke is on you Paul. Kids are going to think all your Beatles stuff was written by John until the end of time.

I don't know. I just was highly amused by that.

Nice story, Valmy

I've been reading more of the Grateful Dead biography and learned that they would do shows with Quicksilver Messenger Service called:  The Quick and the Dead.   :cool:

They were also "Rival" bands in that Quicksilver Messenger Service was psychedelic cowboys  :alberta: and so The Grateful Dead were psychedelic Indians (psychedelic cultural appropriation?  I don't know, Jerry Garcia probably had some native ancestry.)  They'd have gave pretend shoot outs and things like that.

Nah, he's been living in Austria for over 10 years now. :P He's just not into metal. He's well integrated - loves his beer, loves steak and burgers, has an Austrian partner and a kid with her ... his brother at MIT is much more traditional - no alcohol or beef, eating mostly vegetarian and rarely eating non-Indian food, had a big Indian wedding two years ago ... my colleague is clearly the "bad boy" in the family. :D

I don't know. I just was highly amused by that.



I am glad you let it be

10cc - Sheet Music (1974)

They had been a studio band and after working on a hit record for Neil Sedaka decided to make it on their own.  I'm unfamiliar with their work (they were much bigger in the UK than the US,) but this is actually pretty good.  They sort of remind me of Queen, both able to do the rockers as well as the oddities (one song is the story of a bomb on a plane as told from the perspective of the bomb.)

Weather Report - Mysterious Traveler (1974)

I'm not familiar with Weather Report, from what I've read the bands previous work had been avant-garde free jazz.  This is more a funk-jazz fusion.  It's got a driving funky beat throughout; I thought it was good.

Yep, quality musicians and a tight outfit* was always impressed by the little I heard.

Weather Report was basically a jazz version of a supergroup, with Shorter and Zawinul collaborating.  They broke into the mainstream when Jaco Pastorious joined (Heavy Weather album), then fizzled out along with the fusion genre more generally.

The times are a changin' for sure. Just in a much stupider way than in the 60s.

Gary Burton - Hotel Hello (1974)

This one really wasn't my thing.  It sounds like it's written to be background music and I'm really not much a fan of the vibes (Burton's principal instrument.)

That's the classic ECM sound; where jazz goes to become ambient.

For something in that general sense, Crystal Silence - from the year before with Chick Corea - was a better offering IMO.

Even better would be Bobby Hutcherson, who had lots of good output in the 1970s. Cirrus was released in 1974; it also has peak Woody Shaw on trumpet.

Jethro Tull.  Rock island. Follow up to their Grammy Award winning Crest of a Knave, this one was much maligned. Listening to this for the first time in years, there's much to like. More bluesy than anything since their debut, to me this is a worthy entry in the band's catalogue

:cool:

I should dig that out.

Just found an old Philips MP3 player with a pile of flacs on it, not bad sounding, just listening to 'Songs in Red and Gray' by Suzanne Vega. :wub:

For some reason this song showed up in my feed. I guess I'm some kind of watch list now. :(

Speaking of 1970s and 80s era music, I heard Al Green was tossed out of the building yesterday during Trump's speech.  Which is unfortunate because I can't think of a venue more in need of his message.

This Al Green spent the 1970s being a lawyer instead of a musician.

Going back to what I was saying before, my son is big into rock n roll and just this afternoon he is grooving along and I walk by and am like "hey that's the Traveling Wilburys." And he responds "oh yeah they are really good." "Hey did you know Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and George Harrison were in that band?" "Who are they?"

It is amazing how these kids just find stuff online, without being introduced to it by me or anybody else. And it is entirely divorced from its cultural context or the fact these people are rock stars or whatever. It is 100% just about the music. It's interesting because when I was a kid if my parents didn't have the album, it didn't come on the radio, and it wasn't on MTV I wasn't going to hear it. So everything I got was culturally curated in someway. Where as they are getting it in this state where things are coming to them from an algorithm entirely based on their own tastes isolated from everything else.

It's kind of beautiful but also kind of odd.
