>5 zenomax: inspired the memory of a Ben Johnson poem, put to music by the lovely and terrifying SWANS: "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes".

(I'm at work and am blocked from posting links to any videos or whatnot, not to mention following up on the above tempting links.)

I think that would be an interesting thread to itself: poems set to music. Usually I discover the song first, and only later realise the lyric was cribbed from a poet. But there may be exceptions, I'll have to mull that over.

Another favourite. Peggy Seeger gets it just right.

7 elenchus don't forget that Shakespeare has also been put to music. This (and others like Under the Greenwood tree) are quite acceptable.

>35 zenomax:: This is actually a parody by Bram Vermeulen and Freek de Jonge of the following:

http://www.youtube.com/v/xUQdSVBYR2A

They covered ten Dutch classic pop songs in a more or less distorting way.

Let me misuse this space to plug my folklore group:

http://www.youtube.com/v/JIdIMiCH8Z0

Are you in that video yourself Pim?

And onto a completely different tack.

Little Tich was so nicknamed because when he was born he seemed quite large. This was not long after the famous Tichbourne claimant - who was rather corpulent.

So the baby was known as Tichbourne - or Tich for short.

Of course as he became famous his stature lead him to attract the prefix 'Little', thus up to my parents generation people of particularly small stature were often known as Tich.

Anyway, here he is, in his famous shoes.

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

This feels like a time so long ago as to be another age, and the piece itself is so strange as to be almost indescribable. But really, isn;t it something great to observe - a privilege.

>38 zenomax:: yes, in the centre, white shirt with red embroidery.

I'll take your folklore and up you some vintage Black Sabbath.

Screw the metal thread. The atmospheric Spiral Architect belongs on the music thread.

SBS was the first album i asked my parent's to get for me. They thought it was inappropriate for an 8 y.o. ...

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath inappropriate for an 8 year old?

Phooey to them!

I was listening to Black Sabbath, the first album, when I was eight months old.

Saw 'em at this Paris concert in 1970, when I was one.

You lucky dog. That looks like a great show!

I saw Black Sabbath in September 1975 for the Paranoid Tour at PDX's Memorial Coliseum. I was on the floor probably 30 feet from the stage when Ozzy started ripping his fringed leather tunic off and threw it into the center of the crowd. Then he took off his silver platform boots and threw one off to stage left and then the other stage right to my feet. I carried that boot around for 26 years before I finally gave it to a kid who adored him. Kinda wish I had not done that. The Osbournes show started a few months later in 2002. *sigh*

That is so awesome I am at a loss to say anything else!

Here is my current Sabbath-related obsession:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MLp7YNTznE

I don't care much for Ozzy alone, but Crazy Train is amazing.

Merely okay, but really okay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSnj8X1zAZI

Randy Rhoads rockin' the Train live on that same show: http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=JRbPWcLode0&feature=related

What a bunch of burnouts. Ozzy looks like the Corey that is still around. Feldman?

I'm feeling guilty about the burnout comment. Randy was not a burnout, he was a big talent. Only in my forties, now, do I understand how young he was at 25, when he was killed.

However, Harry Shearer had to have been inspired by that bassist when he was mulling over his look for Spinal Tap.

Don't feel bad for too long Slick. That is precisely what Ozzie & Co. are at the moment, no matter how much pleasure they gave us once upon a time.

geneg's John Logan post on another thread put me in mind of this tune, which I like a whole lot better, from former Moody and future Wing, Denny Laine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVbEfk_Zve8

Hey slick,

Did you know that "Mr. Crowley" is about Aleister Crowley?

Rudy Sarzo wrote a great book about his year-and-a-half in the Randy Rhoads/Ozzy-era lineup. Off The Rails: Aboard the Crazy Train in the Blizzard of Ozz. In its preface, he hauntingly describes Randy waking him up one morning on tour in support of Diary of a Madman (not the book by Gogol!), and asking Rudy if he wanted to go catch a ride on an airplane. Rudy said no; he was too tired; he had other things to do. Of course that was the doomed flight that took Randy's life. Being too tired saved Rudy's life.

And just think, had Rudy died, who'd of been the bass-licking bassist on Whitesnake's Whitesnake album?

Think of the reality show Mr. Crowley might have mounted.

This song kicked my butt on the way to work today. Its a build-up thing. If you can stand it (enjoy it even!) it will eventually reward your attention.

Acid Police - Boredoms

On a similar note (one! with exceptions):

Sheets of Easter - Oneida

omg, slick... I feel so old.

Speaking of old...

My first concert, at 14, was at the Paramount in PDX (now the 'Schnitz') 9th row center aisle for Foghat - Energized

Then the Memorial Coliseum for ZZ Top - Fandango

Black Sabbath Paranoid (see above)

My first outdoor concert was at PIR (Portland International Raceway) in 1975. The headliner was Bachman Turner Overdrive

Their opening act was a burgeoning band you may have heard of - Aerosmith

My favorite Paramount concert was in 1977 - Rush - A Farewell to Kings

My favorite outdoor concert was at Red Rocks Amphitheater (outside Denver) in 1985. You may have heard of him too... Clapton is God

You've seen a lot of Canadians! Love'd that vid of BTO. All those beardos stompin their feet and crunchin away.

Tani,

You saw Rush pre-Permanent Waves album? You da woman!

Maybe you should get'cher self educated on Ozzy, tomcat! I read that before you deleted it.

Should I start an Ozzy 101 thread for Beginners in the way of Ozzy?

lol
what is Ozzy?

Oh, 'Rique! To see Geddy, Alex and Neil at the Paramount (very intimate setting) was the ultimate musical experience! The sounds that come from just those 3 musicians... I have no words elaborate enough to express how I loved that evening. *sigh* Missing my collection right about now...

As would be expected, all my concert experiences are pre Ozzie.

My first concert was a recital with Jascha Heifitz. From there, culturally, it was all downhill, or not, depending on how you look at it.

Saw:

Chuck Berry
Joan Baez
Bob Dylan (many times)
Jefferson Airplane (as often as possible)
Big Brother and the Holding Company opened by Jeff Beck
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Zephyr (featuring a very young Tommy Bolin)
The Grateful Dead
The Allman Brothers
Traffic
Procol Harum (several times)
The Who
Cream
Jethro Tull
Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys
Dixie Chicks (before the became famous)
Paul McCartney ( not, unfortunately, the Beatles)
Led Zeppelin
The Kinks
The Band (several times, with and without Bob Dylan)

I tire of this. Those are just the ones I can remember. Oh, my misspent youth.

59> What is Ozzy?

Ozzy is a prince of darkness.

And now that you know what Ozzy is, it's important not just for you, tomcat, but for everyone, to ask yourselves, whenever you encounter a moral or ethical type quandary that leaves you scratching your head: What Would Ozzy Do? (WWOD).

I saw the Grateful Dead 4 times, during the first week of my very first professional job. One could easily do that when working for a US military weapons systems research facility in the early 1980s...

LOL 'bout that blog, EF!

While I'm here, stating the obvious, I had always known that phrase as WWJD (What Would Jerry Do?).

#65 - Bwahahahahahahahahhaha! Too Freequen' funny, 'Rique!

I remember when Black Sabbath played Atlanta some time in the early '80's, not because I cared about Black Sabbath, but because the local ASPCA was all upset and in the news over making sure he was not allowed to bite the head off a live bat during the show. I think they settled and he bit the head off a rubber chicken.

Yesterday Chris and I were trying to remember what was Ozzy's band's name (he is having this memory issue where he knows something but can't produce it) and it took me forever to get to Black Sabbath.I went so far afield I won't even share all my guesses. It was such a relief when I got there and he could sigh and say "Yes!"

IANAMH (I am not a metal head) is my only defense, I realize it's weak.

IANAMH either, Anna. However, back in the day, Sabbath was only considered 'Acid Rock' in my book. When he started biting bats' heads off, I was heading towards other musical tastes.

Chris says that back in the day it was all rock and the categories are marketers jumping on the bandwagon.

Regardless of this, he himself classified Sabbath as "proto-metal."

Acid rock? Anyone remember Hot Tuna?

Being a rabid Airplane fanboy, (not so much Starship) how could I not remember Hot Tuna.

Anna, Chris is absolutely right about the music industry parsing the music to the nth degree. The complete commercialization of something I feel a proprietary interest in (how many of you remember when there was no Rock n Roll, much less acid house, metal, or even proto-metal, I remember the fuss "Rock Around the Clock" made), I grew pretty disgusted with much of it. It was at that time I, as a consumer of R n R, realized I was being packaged and sold to the music industry. It was at that time I decided I was not going to play their game and dropped out. Hence, stuck in the music when the music came from garages, back yards, the noodlings of session musicians on a lark, and boys living in the backrooms of bars in places like Hamburg. i don't need no painted faces, bat biting, hats that look like neatly stacked turds (I see Devo is out and about again), fireworks, and other gimmicks. Give me five people who honor the music.

Pardon my French here, but my credo since about 1976 has been fuck the music industry, it doesn't honor me, and I damn sure will not honor it.

I think that process of parsing and distinguishing is how people think, especially younger folk. Also, people, again especially younger folk, like to distinguish themselves so they are not "like everybody else" even if they are like a lot of people. Maybe the music industry has exploited this natural tendency, but I don't think they created it and it doesn't bother me.

Don't mess with Devo. Or Kiss. Or get me started on punk rock and the American independent/DIY scene.

73: I sort of see where you are coming from. But I think a parallel which is indeed unfortunate, is that once people decide on their niches they don't necessarily jam with people from other ones. Some of the best music I hear is crossover stuff - e.g., Irish musicians jamming with rappers, etc. That is the kind of thing that makes me feel excited. One of the things I like about Pink Martini, for example, that they sort of defy categorization by playing stuff from all over the map.

If the categories had been as well-defined back in the late 60s, would Donovan have been in the position to introduce Led Zeppelin to each other? Who knows, but the looseness of the categories back then allowed for more cross-fertilization, and a lot of creativity, it seems to me.

I don't want to sound all "kids these days" though, there are lots of people today who do expand out of their marketing niche and who are damned fine musicians.

Hot Tuna!!! Keep on Truckin'

72> your rant reminds me of the Floyd's observation of the music industry circa 1975. The lyrics to "Have a Cigar" sung from the unwittingly uncool perspective of a greeeeedy music exec:

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far,
You're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it if you try;
they're gonna love you!

Well I've always had a deep respect,
and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic,
that is really what I think.
Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You've gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green;
have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start,
it could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

Oh, how I love Pink Floyd!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sVShT6nVTA

Me too.

My biggest concert?

Hmmm.

Prob'ly U2 when they went HUGE in the States, Spring of '87, in support of The Joshua Tree.

Lone Justice, a country-folk-rock outfit opened for them. They had a recent hit called "Shelter," out, and were fronted by the lovely Maria McKee.

U2 - Jeal-ous!!!

Saw these boys in 1976 a year before the crash. The good, they do die young.

My favourite Floyd joint:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyqgjCKm9nQ

Simple Man rocks. Never much cared for their confederate flag shit, but those good 'ol boys could play. Besides your pick, Tani, here's my fave: Saturday Night Special.

If I had to pick between the Dark Side and Wish You Were Here albums, I'd go w/the latter.

Have to agree with you on SNS, 'Rique... Course, their are few that I don't like... and I agree with you on the southern cross.

Welcome to the Machine One of my favorite of all time 'driving' albums. We used to put this on and smoke a doob, while driving down the Oregon coast. wow... I guess I did have some fun with my ex-husband. ;-)

In the late 70s early 80's The Kendell Planetarium @ OMSI put on the 'Heavy Water Light Show'. My favorite one was with Pink Floyd's The Wall and I started to peak during Comfortably Numb (we dropped some liquid LSD for that one)

Still have my MEDDLE LP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCgQuj8v2gg&feature=related

I'd choose Meddle over Dark Side too.

Here's my review, that includes song links, of another classic album: http://enriquefreequesreads.blogspot.com/2010/07/2112-by-rush.html

Atom Heart Mother was always my favourite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcT-xjnHCLA

The exquisite memories I have from 1976 and 2112 cannot be published here... ;-)

My memories of 2112 are probably a bit different...my younger brothers and I used to play the 8-track and act out the drama. Good times.

This I still love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az2UI1lpRbc

Phil Spector was famous for his "wall of sound" sound. This is a wall of fury - and well-produced, to boot! It used to give our parents no end of concern I am sure. Was that the point? I really don't think it was.

I've probably mentioned the obvious, before. My favorite Floyd is "Animals".

WOOF,WOOF, woof woof...

85: Me, too!

Recovered from the wreckage of CBGBs:

This was a great concert:

Saw this guy back in the day, before he made it, at a street festival:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN9-K0aZXRg

It was clear he'd make it.

Whoa. Grandmaster Flash and the Shirts at CBGBs! You got around.

Flash and the Shirts were both the same summer, back when I was a teenager. Just GF was at the festival - he was sans the 5, the first time I'd seen someone really doing the turntables.

As much as I love Floyd's Animals... it brings back some rather bad memories of my ex. Which really sucks, because it was so damn good.

On a happier note I was glad that my tastes rubbed off on my son... His favorite brings back cruising memories with him up and down I-5 in my 280zx every weekend for visitations.

Another song that just slays me: Badfinger's Passed Fast

Wow, how eerie... I just heard Badfinger on Sirius this morning.

I saw these folks in concert here in Atlanta, hot from a stint at Country, Bluegrass and Blues - and Other Music for Uplifting Gormandizers, a music venue in NYC that was popular at the time.

gene: surely you meant this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gapS4CrWtts

CBGBs: Great shows, so long as you didn't have to go to the bathroom. Except that, going to the bathroom also meant going backstage so there was that advantage, if you could make it there.

Ethiopian Blues:

Ok, folks I'm done, I hit a bit of a speed bump. I searched for "Mongolian Polka" and got this Metallica ditty instead:

"We built the ships
For war and for peace
We built that church
In whose gardens we sleep"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUsxR9UI75M

That's The Way

Heard this on Sirius this morning... Love those guys!

Of all the above (excluding Zep) I enjoyed the Chinese fusion most (excluding the sax heavy portions of the piece - I just don't love the sax.) Those who haven't checked it out, really should - when the band kicks in its quite good.

Zep - what can you say? They were one of the marvels of the 20th Century.

The Ethiopian blues was great and the Chinese fusion would have been better without the sax. Don't get me wrong, I like a good jazz sax, but that didn't go well with the Indian violin imo.

Loves me some Robert, Jimmy, Johnny & Bonham! And as always the song remains the same

"The emotion and the vibe is so intense. Its so beautiful to know that Led Zeppelin stands tall as gods. When Page picks up a guitar its loike Zeus picking up a thunder bolt and when Robert wails on a mic its like the Angels calling and when John Paul Jones hits a key or plucks a bass string its a groundbreaking moment and when John Bonham hits the drums with fury its like an earthquake nothing comes close to Zeppelin. They are the Hammer Of The Gods." posted by xThExRoVeRx

The old world - Buried in the black snow

Interesting piece, slick. Haven't come across that before.

The atomisation of the various members of Crass (far left punk group) is interesting. They have generally moved to the far right but have continued, on the whole, to make interesting and challenging (if occasionally tainted) music.

This project by Tony Wakeford weaves an album of songs around the works of M R James.

2 excerpts:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVYoOwX6zCU&feature=related

I find the political movement from far left to far right interesting. The two are hardly a gnats nuts apart in their belief that they have all the answers and as soon as it can be arranged they will tell you what they are and what you must do to implement them. Both the far left and the far right are about the same thing, the accumulation and exercise of power. In my political cosmology we live on a circle, not a line. For all intents and purposes, with the exception of the methods they use to hide their real agenda, Authoritarianism (the far right) and Totalitarianism (the far left) are in the same spot on the circle. An authoritarian was often a totalitarian who grew up. They are the same people.

I agree gene. I have always felt that those predisposed to be on a far wing could - in many cases at least - just as easily be on the left or right.

They are like banks, both of them, they tender you a bumbershoot and take it away when it starts to rain.
Good to hear your voice Gene. We need your spunk around here.old boy.

Atlantis does go on but it has a wonderful outro that makes up for its silly intro.

Fair enough Z. It was a part of my childhood. I was raised on a dairy farm.

Nice post slick.

As a confirmed child of post punk (as i guess you may be too) I rejected all such music out of hand in the past. Now I am sifting through to find the interesting cherries.

Still a bit too flowery for me - I do like my music pared back and with a degree of cynical undertone.

There is no genre or subgenre I don't like - but I'll admit that in some genres I am choosier than others!

Lemmy! How old is he anyhow? Here's a fun video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzJfInW9Kx4

Is that Neil from Young Ones on drums?

Is that Martin from the Salon in the crowd at about 1:15?

The original upsetter.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN0PI5b4Nww

Yep I see Martin all over the place too!

Can it really be he?

Fusion! Ace of Spades performed for The Young Ones

My favorite Donovan - a lite jazz flavor.

Another great favorite of mine by him.

I like Donovan too. So gentle. You think you can write him or one of his songs off, then you find him/it in your head days later!

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

From Belgium.

So refreshing. Like a palate cleansing sherbet! Listened to their cut Bosses de Crosses after that, also good. Very different.

For a change - pictures instead of sound.

> 155 nice description slick. It was a new discovery for me too.

> 156 like it. So much still to discover...

153: My son sings that song all the time.

152: Thank you! That was a blast from the past. In college Donovan was my obsession and I had almost all of his records ever released (and let me tell you the ones from the 70s are pretty silly but nothing was beyond my collector mania). I even had one record that had been produced/released in Germany.

Speaking of silly Germans, James Last - Giant Man

#156 and #157 can be played together. However, For Against's Purgatory Salesman would probably make a better match.

slick - good call - tried 156 & 157 and they work together.

Made me think of this as an alternative soundtrack to 157.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LShwMxHOtak&feature=related

Your suggestion is far better than mine! Just about anything would work, really. The video is vague enough you can shade it however you want. I guess this is a case of eisegesis!

Proust on a particular phrasing used by Baudelaire:

"It would seem impossible to better that."

>148 slickdpdx:, 150 if I could go back in time and stop Dick Cheney from being born, the next stop would totally be 1972 to celebrate with Hawkwind.

Also, fuuuuuck, I just remembered reading about The Young Ones years ago and wishing there were some way to see it. And now there is! To the downloadatorium!

In the meantime, is this thematically apropo?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbAWBElA6dA

You can play 163 and 164 at the same time!

Gads Z. I bought that Fahey album on wax many many years ago. There was Gordon Bok and one of my special favorites Leo Kottke.

>165 slickdpdx: whoa! nice.

165 yes, good call slick.

164 Martin - do you mean the comedy with Rik Mayall or the movie with Cliff Richard? Both fantastical in their own way.

166 P my first exposure to both JF and LK was that Takoma record which also featured Peter Lang. Can't remember its name, but bought it for the LK pieces, with JF an afterthought. Now, approaching my dotage at an ever increasing pace, I have to say Fahey is the one who comes across as the giant, although I will always have much affection for Leo.

>168 zenomax: the former, per comment 151:) But Cliff Richard is also more or less great.

Well I'm not sure I'd say he was great, fantastical more in a kind of creepy, pixieish kind of way.

Talking about weird echoes from the past...

Nice one slick.

On the ball as usual.

Nice version of the NMH classic.

slick - don't know about you, but this song always reminds me of Chris Knox (without the edginess).

#173: What a sweet voice that fellow has!

#174: Musical savant Jay Reatard was going a Chris Knox direction before he succumbed. I don't see the connection of the Pertwee vid. I think you mis-linked!

#175: I dug the Darin. I have sharp ears.

Jung called the introverted intuitive (one of his 8 types of personality preference) the seer, prophet and crank.

So here's David Tibet.

#177: perfect visuals: sounds like a Nikki Sudden in a worse mood.

A local: Doom Town
The Wipers

Back in Judy's Jungle - Brian Eno

Mentions both cauliflower trees and cauliflower ears. Also, sheets of foolscap, don't ask me why. And, Blighty.

Nice one slick. Foolscap - very underrated in the Arts in my view.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnXD6VWsbIw

Like those guitars at the end of the song. Good stuff.

Don't know much about this guy. So not sure if this song is representative. But I like its dreamlike repetitiveness.

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

This follows the song on ~129 on my playlist. The transition between the 2 songs always gives me a quiet pleasure.
