What are you listening to? The world really needs to know - III (2 Viewers)

[Purple Stickpin]

here's Shrapnel with a song off their only single, Combat Love.

Nice Burgundyglo 4001.

 

[mjp]

Not to mention the Junior and the Mustang. They probably couldn't afford to buy back those guitars today.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Too bad there isn't any viddy; Sassy could just rock the house on up numbers like this. The bass player on this date is a young Charles Williams, who became better known as Buster Williams. The only reason I know this (not being smart enough to research it back when I got the CD) is that I saw a gig at the Village Vanguard back in the 90s sometime and on a break, I was chatting with the group and mentioned how much I dug Sarah and the whole Kirk Stuart trio at the Tivoli in '63. The bass player smiled, "That was me, you know."

Well, that was so good:

And yes, mjp; them axes ain't $325 anymore.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Like many female jazz singers of the 40s, 50s, and 60s (wait; even today??), Sarah was pretty much forced to re-do the pop stuff to make a buck for the talentless money-makers at the record companies. Even then, she could kill it:

Better yet, she still had enough in the tank to come back with shit like this to satisfy her soul:

Sorry for the pops and clicks - I wanted to find a viddy of Sweet Georgia Brown that absolutely melts your teeth, but I'll have to listen to that myself.

You can't make that shit up.

I think I know what you mean. Would like to know more about this beautiful woman. Anyone? Should have created a thread for the posting.

 

[Digney in Burnaby]

Another bunch of Ronnie Hawkins castoffs.

Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain

[This video is unavailable.]

"death of Hendrix did not bother me. Janis Joplin death particularly saddening, terrible to me because to put it
shittily, I related to her. she had the courage of a mountain, understand? don't worry about vocal chords...wrote an 8 or ten page tribute to the guts of Joplin but so filled with love, I had to destroy. [***]"

(Living on Luck, p. 117)

 

[nado]

Always good to hear some Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks

 

[hank solo]

Off Topic:

"When his friend Peter Edler invited him to read at The Bridge, a book store off Hollywood Boulevard, Bukowski said yes. The date was set as Friday 19 December, 1969 [...]​

The evening was such a success, Peter Elder invited Bukowski back the next night to do it all over again."​

(Sounes: Locked in the arms, p. 102f)​

So, two readings must have been planned in advance, rather than a second one happening just because the first one was 'such a success'.

 

[Stavrogin]

Thanks for that, solo. I sure hope the good folk smart enough to cough up a whole one dollar got their money's worth. $1 - Christ!

Back on topic:

Been sort of quiet on the forum for a few days. Liven it up with a little 70's funkiness - forget the cowbell, give me more talk box? mouth organ? whatever that damn thing is called at 2:24.

[number6horse]

..."give me more talk box? mouth organ? whatever that damn thing is called at 2:24."

It's called a talk box. The mouth organ was used in a whole other kind of 70's funkiness.

Yep. Or the flyer she's holding was made after the fact.

 

[nervas]

Bright Eyes - Jejune Stars (and lots of duran duran, for some weird reason)

 

[Stavrogin]

Went digging for some music (looking for a cd by The Jam) and dug up these that I haven't listened to for a good while.
English Settlement by XTC:

And a best of cd that has one of my favorite covers:

 

[Mark73]

 

[Black Swan]

 

[Stavrogin]

In recent years I've come to appreciate the Buckley boys. When Jeff was alive I couldn't stand him - I mistakenly cast him as poster boy fodder for the lonely teenage girl crowd. Wrong! Grace is a great record and then you think of what might have been:


Browsing another forum I took the time to listen to this song. And I found myself thinking, what a damn good song.

 

[mjp]

Johnny Wakelin & The Kinshasa Band, Black Superman, a novelty song that's been bouncing around in my head for 36 years.

 

[Black Swan]

Gil Scott Heron
Ain't No Such Thing As A Superman :)

Tiny Tim - Tiptoe through the Tulips

[This video is unavailable.]

Why there hasn`t been any ultra slow motion splatter-gore-torture scene to this song in any David Lynch movie I truly don't understand.

 

[Stavrogin]

Only because I know many of you fuckers love this series and this song ( and I like you cocksuckers - for whatever that's worth):

[Digney in Burnaby]

Who you callin' a cocksucker, you cocksucker? (Lenny Bruce anyone?)

Lots of songs come to mind. Here's a rioting top ten from Time of all places.

Personally my guilty pleasure is Generation X (one of those "folk devils/moral panics" from years gone by).


That, or this gem that accurately portrays the English:

(Actually, I'm half deaf in one ear from a sinus cold that's fucking entered my eustachian tube. Mostly I hear Metal Machine Mucus.)

 

[Stavrogin]

Digney - you ass. I know it's Miller inner-ear infection or not. Heh.

Miller knows the of it all:


Miller, full or not, fills it up down the road.

 

[mjp]

Metal Machine Mucus

Ah, yes, Flu Reed, classic.

 

[Digney in Burnaby]

In the Afterword to the 1997 edition of Neil and Me by Scott Young Scott is told by a Glaswegian that Neil once busked in Glasgow near the train station. Scott eventually asks Neil to confirm this and Neil says yeah, he made about a pound. And it was filmed. I guess this is a portion of the film.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put A Spell On You


The Jam - That's Entertainment

 

[Stavrogin]

I've always had this habit of making a beeline for a person's music-book-movie collection to snoop at what they listen to -read-watch. It's a compulsion I can't help - especially with the 1st visit. When younger it was narrowed down to records and books. A girl's collection of records usually consisted of these: at least one Emerson, Lake & Palmer record was a certainty, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Carole King's Tapestry - check, Nick Drake, James Taylor, Bob Seger's Night Moves, Hall & Oates - sweet Jesus, please don't play that, Peter Frampton's live record, Melanie, Van Morrison's Moondance or Astral Weeks and so on. Now some of these records I liked but it was typically on the secretive side. And then I think of things I had them listen to while cruising aimlessly about for hours and can only conclude that women folk are far more durably patient. The point of all this babbling is I stumbled upon a song I hadn't heard for ages - the last time was long ago on some girl's record player.

 

[hank solo]

The Beatles - Help!


The Jam - Town Called Malice
