Education, Education, Education & War is the fifth studio album by English rock band Kaiser Chiefs... produced by Ben H. Allen III, and is the first Kaiser Chiefs album recorded with new drummer Vijay Mistry. The album's name is partly a reference to a line in a famous 1996 speech by Tony Blair where he emphasised the importance of education, and partly referencing the illegal Iraqi war in which he involved the UK.[2]

Yw - and all the other acronyms used on here - I hate 'em cos I am not in the know and have to look them up. Damned annoying but there ya' go...
The abbreviation yw is an internet acronym for you’re welcome. Yw also sometimes stands for yeah, whatever and you whitey.
Reply to Amity Didn't know "yw" was a thing. Just meant "you're welcome". Don't like them much myself but I seem to have acquired this bad habit from texting with my (millennial) nephews & nieces. :sweat:
Btw, the 50th anniversary release of a boxset All Things Must Pass is to include a pile of outtakes like the one I posted.
Reply to Amity I have the original and the 30th anniversary remix George supervised before he died, so I won't be got by this latest money grab (sorry Dhani & Olivia).
I geek-out on historical fictions because they more often than not get so many things absurdly (unnecessarily) wrong – especially films. Fury is that very rare, quite underrated, "war story" that gets things mostly right, which IMO makes it even more powerful (and "less Hollyweird"). Enjoy the catharsis ...

Squeeze (Slap and Tickle) TOTP 1979
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRW6Qtj7ZZM
She was frigid like a bible
When she met her boyfriend michael
He took her in his zephyr
They sat like salt and pepper
Looking out across the city
From lover's leap is pretty
The lights they flick and flutter
He told her how he loved her
Next night he called for her
But dad protected daughter
And told him she was poorly
A lie was told there surely
So michael felt rejected
This wasn't quite expected
He drove off to his local
Where he felt anti-social
She cried all night at missing
The boy she could be kissing
While he was falling over
He drunk himself back sober
And went home in a taxi
And crashed out in the back seat
He slept just like a baby
Which he hadn't done just lately
He saw her in the morning
Out with his sister pauline
She felt all shy and soppy
He acted cool and cocky
He said tonight at charlie's
There's going to be a party
I'll meet you at half seven
She visualised the heaven
If you ever change your mind
Which you do from time to time
Never chew a pickle
With a little slap and tickle
You have to throw the stone
To get the pool to ripple
That night they danced together
It looked like love forever
He put his hand on her leg
You should have heard what she said
He tried again much later
It seemed to aggravate her
He drove home in silence
Avoiding all violence
She said let's watch the city
From lover's leap is pretty
I think i need the fresh air
She put a comb through her hair
Then while she turned to kiss him
And very nearly missed him
She put her hand on his leg
He felt her tongue in his head
If you ever change your mind
Which you do from time to time
Never chew a pickle
With a little slap and tickle
You have to throw the stone
To get the pool to ripple

Y'all do realize you just have to highlight the youtube link you copied and hit the "media" button in order to create an image link, right? I've literally not listened to any music either of you have posted for this reason.
Hey I have the attention span of a gnat, don't blame me. The media button is the camera in between the eye and the twitter bird. Just highlight the youtube link in the text box and click the camera button.
This track features Steven Stills, just before Crosby Still and Nash was formed, and Al Kooper, singing and playing organ, who around that time formed Blood Sweat and Tears, although he didn't stay with them. (A highly under-rated muso in my opinion.)
This track was from a legendary 'studio jam session', featuring also some great sessions musicians supporting the star musicians. This version of Donovan's Season of the Witch was possibly THE first ever jazz rock track recorded. When I heard it, it was the height of hip, the hippest thing I'd ever heard.
Remember, 1968, when it was laid down, was 'the year that changed the world' - the Tet Offensive, Prague Spring, Kent State shootings, the assination of RFK and Martin Luther King - a world in turmoil, alive with revolution and the possibility of change.
I've just re-discovered this track, 50 years later, courtesy digital media, and am glad to report that it sounds just as good now as when me and all my long-haired friends used to get completely stoned and lie on the floor listening to it for hours on end. Steve Stills wah-wah guitar is just completely on the money, and Al Kooper's electronic organ is scintillating. An all-time great.

Finally we will be able to get to the bottom of so many issues.
In true former green anarchist, a political philosophy that I think we should now refer to as "eco-anarchism", form I give you "War Story" by Antimaniax.
In shameless celebration of the decline of Western civilization with other Anarchists, I give you "Victoria" as covered by Sonic Youth.
In the hopes that Western journalists can make it out of Afghanistan safely, I give you "This Time Tomorrow" by The Kinks
In solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees, I would like to play "Last Words To A Refugee" by Cut Worms.
None of these bands have sanctioned such a decision, but, as my doing this is via an odd kind of internet pirate radio, I don't care. Besides, I don't think that they'd really mind.

The Best of The Everly Brothers (27:53:)
20th Century Masters – The Milennium Collection
compilation, 1990 performers Phil Everly d. 2014 & Don Everly d. 2021
From Neil Young to Keith Richards, a generation of musicians revered Phil and Don’s haunting music.
US music star Don Everly dies aged 84.
Among the hundreds of hours of outtakes from the recording sessions that eventually became the Beatles’ Let It Be album, there is a version of Two of Us, taped on 25 January 1969. As John Lennon and Paul McCartney harmonise, the latter says to the former: “Take it, Phil”, a reference to Phil and Don Everly, the duo upon whom the pair had originally attempted to model themselves. On an early holiday, Lennon and McCartney attempted to impress local girls by telling them they had a band back home and they were “the British Everly Brothers”.
Thought I'd revisit this one.

Reply to Amity why thanks, Amity! You sure live up to your forum name! And I'll take this oportunity to mention my follow-up to For Sophia, a song called Imaginary Voices. Written, played and produced by me, vocal production by Austin Deadman (Chicago).
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Plato's Symposium, one of the Greek philosopher's most celebrated works. Written in the 4th century BC, it is a dialogue set at a dinner party attended by a number of prominent ancient Athenians, including the philosopher Socrates and the playwright Aristophanes. Each of the guests speaks of Eros, or erotic love. This fictional discussion of the nature of love, how and why it arises and what it means to be in love, has had a significant influence on later thinkers, and is the origin of the modern notion of Platonic love.

Wondering who I would invite to a Symposium...to talk up Love...or War.
Who here would like to make a speech ? Hmmm...
Think I'll read the Symposium first.
Lovely, thanks.
But I didn't find it relaxing. Too intent on watching the physical movements of speech and wondering about the communication. Fascinating.

A familiar experience on wood trails.
In my case, listening to but not seeing the birds.
A pity video can't capture the scents. Nothing like a forest smell - warm leaves after a shower.
The air in the forest smells good. It may smell like damp moss, rain, wet tree trunks, flowers, and needle-covered path.
It may smell like a tree stump that is already creating new life, or even snow, frost, and softwood.
According to a research, just five hours per month in a forest will greatly improve our mental health. What about, say, five hours per week, then?
Everything changes and fades into dust
Stay if you want to and go if you must
I couldn't hold you, I wouldn't want to
But if you feel blue, run to me
I'll make some coffee and just be around
And you can tell me what's getting you down
That's what I came for, born of the same law
Right through the same door you and me
And if your life gets heavy, I'll lighten up your day
Do my best to make you feel at one
It's the best way that I know; babe, I love you so
You know I'll need you till my life is done
Everything changes and love travels on
Melt in the sunshine, rest in the dawn
Just let it move you, that's all you can do
Open your heart and see the sun
And if your life gets heavy, I'll lighten up your day
Do my best to make you feel at one
It's the best way that I know; babe, I love you so
You know I'll need you till my life is done

We're in lockdown again...so here's another song (a special version) to kill some time and to kill some Covid-19. Take care of yourselves.
Zucchero
Camminato per le strade
Col sole dei tuoi occhi
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio... spara
Che bella quiete sulle cime
Mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio
Per questo troppo amore, per noi
E questo bel dolore
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai
Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te
Ho visto il sole nei tuoi occhi
Calare nella sera
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio... spara
Che bella quiete sulle rive
Mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio
Ma dove andranno i giorni e noi
Le fughe e poi i ritorni
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai
Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te
Ohoh ohoh
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio sole
Siamo caduti in volo
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio cielo
Siamo caduti in volo
Per questo amore immenso, per noi
E il gran dolore che sento
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai
Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Proprio come te

Reply to Amity I suspect when The Fabs had recorded "Something", George's marriage to Pattie was on very thin ice and his best mate Eric (Clapton) was already "courting" her (with George's approval? no less). Sad. Same wavelength as John (though not nearly as neurotic), even same as Paul who had composed a song of loss (re: Jane Asher?) a few years earlier.

Reply to Amity I think they both in their respective contexts (and decades) tried too hard to do something 'different' with Sam Cooke's version (rather than slavishly copy) and missed the mark. Paul less so, probably, than John. (NB: In John's defense, the album Rock 'n' Roll Music was 'sabotaged' by producer Phil Specter in one of Specter's prolonged binges of melodrama / madness, etc.) Their versions lack soul, I feel, because they are not well-executed as performances or arrangements. Listen, compare both to the original and judge for yourself (I can't bear to post the links.)

I don't know about you but I can 'hear' a version performed with a similiar Sam Cooke arrangement by John (lead vocal) with Paul (harmony vocal) and Paul and George (backing vocals) circa 1964, maybe on Beatles For Sale in place of "Mr. Moonlight". It could've been a perfect complement to their cover of "Anna (Go To Him)" by (IIRC Sam Cooke's buddy & occasional collaborator) Arthur Alexander from their 1963 debut LP.

With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.
The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger – a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

From a grim story. First told in a poem and then opera - 'Peter Grimes'.
The opera is set in Aldeburgh, a real town in Suffolk on the east coast of the British Isles, and a real man named Peter Grimes lived there sometime in the late 18th Century. British poet George Crabbe was a resident of Aldeburgh, and in 1810 set the woeful tale to a poem he called “The Burrough.” *
Benjamin Britten also lived in that town from 1938 until his death, and grew up just 30 miles from Aldeburgh.
The opera narrates the story of the gruff fisherman, Peter Grimes, held responsible for the deaths of his young apprentices (his fishing “first mates”), who is then demonized by his fellow villagers, finally going insane from the guilt they inflict upon him.

My Back Pages
Bob Dylan
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Girl's faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

The best song to have sex to
Pony by Ginuwine. It’s predictable: it’s the Magic Mike song. But I don’t play music when I have sex. I’ve been married for 25 years, we’re lucky if we do it. Maybe I should put it on.
Not much into playing music during sex. It feels contrived. But, Manson’s “Deformography” worked well in the past. A bit dark, but it builds in intensity and has a great rhythm. The lyrics seem sexual to me too.

Well, it’s partly just preference; I just so happen to enjoy this type of music, but I’m sure there’s also personal reasons. Without writing a novel, he basically started me on the path to “philosophy” by questioning things I had taken as true. So, I’ll always be grateful for that. But yeah, not exactly role model material.
Well, it’s partly just preference; I just so happen to enjoy this type of music, but I’m sure there’s also personal reasons.
Yes. Preference or taste in music. Does that say anything at all about the person who links to a particular piece of music ? Or who doesn't want to try any other flavour ?
Elsewhere, I likened music to ice-cream.
https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/597962
Music, then, a kind of portal. There is its manifest surface, the sound, but also an invitation to enter, both as far as you like, and as far as the music will take you. My own bias no doubt shared by many, is that music that has stood at least some test of time keeps more of its promises as to what it offers.
So, returning to the music of Manson - if it is seen as a portal, or a way to 'transport' you - where does the music take you ? Elysian fields ?
Perhaps so. However, don't you think you were already on a 'quest' of sorts ? Questioning beliefs.
How long ago was that ?
How much have you questioned the 'philosophy' or motivation of the one you are grateful to ?
Do you still have him buried/burrowed in your head ?
Well, his role as singer/musician seems to have inspired a few admirers ?
Can we separate the product from the producer ?
Back to ice-cream.
I always preferred vanilla rather than the addition of synthetic flavours. I could add my favourite fruits or whatever for any 'je ne sais quoi'.
But then, I travelled to Italy. The land of music and ice-cream and the Mafia etc, etc....
Il gelato alla pesca. Classic with real peaches. Yum :cool:
And so many flavours and rhythms of music to listen to.
River strolling, head-banging; swaying or swearing...and so much more...along the way...
I'm not sure you could even think of Manson as a sweet.
However, from the types and tastes here:
https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2009/jul/14/learn-italian-phrases-ice-cream
Possibly - a hard, cold, icy, dark granito balsamico ?
Does that say anything at all about the person who links to a particular piece of music ? Or who doesn't want to try any other flavour ?
I think it probably does, but my reasons for liking X may be different than your reasons for liking X. So it isn’t like you can say “oh, you like X, you nest be Y type of person.”
I like different styles of music, so it depends. But generally speaking music that’s aggressive or controversial is kind of cathartic to me. I’m a very reserved, self-conscious person; always in control of my emotions, etc. But this type of music allows me to let go of my inhibitions.
However, don't you think you were already on a 'quest' of sorts ? Questioning beliefs.
How long ago was that ?
No. I was raised in a small town where everyone was the same. From race, to religion, to politics, to socio-economic status. As a result, you never bump into someone who challenges your beliefs. I discovered Manson when I was about 16, so 2002-2003. Something like that.
How much have you questioned the 'philosophy' or motivation of the one you are grateful to ?
I never considered his personal philosophy much. I’m not really sure what that even is. He just got me wondering things like “what if God doesn’t exist?”
I think so. His main three albums (Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holywood) were concept albums that all connected to form a triptych. So there’s multiple characters involved in the story he’s telling, and it is meant to be a story. But there’s definitely autobiographical information in it as well.

I don’t know what you mean exactly. I still like his music, at least his older stuff.
Thanks for your reply.
Re: being influenced by anyone.
Sometimes, songs get stuck in our heads. Like an earworm burrowing in. Usually, it's just a catchy song which begins to irritate after a while.
There can be certain cult-like elements which might send negative vibes or messages.
Interesting to consider music and its effects on our thoughts, emotions and moods...
Also, the philosophy of the musician/singer...

Elizabeth Alker drifts to the edges of ambient and electronic music, and explores the spaces in between. This week features soaring new music that reaches up to the sky by singer Hayden Thorpe. Hayden climbed not one but two mountains to record the music video and said of the experience, “Summit fever took over us. When you’re suspended between rock and sky there’s an explosion of the senses”. Plus a cut from a luxurious vinyl reissue of The Caretaker’s series of albums that catalogue his experience of early onset dementia, and German kosmische musik pioneers Popul Vuh invite you into their expansive cinematic world.
I don't just contemplate what good music is; I make the decisions to ensure its survival. Recently, I purchased a t-shirt on Etsy for the Factory single of New Order's "Ceremony". What I have to say of this is that you just don't want to be "hip" enough to wear it.
I will, though, and, in good time, we'll all be ready for whatever to come to an end. I have nothing else to say for now; only that there is hope for us still.

For her second solo LP, Lesley Duncan (1943 – 2010), is surrounded by great musicians including Andy Bown (Herd, Status Quo), and a chamber-pop arrangement, which is Jimmy Horowitz's specialty, realized by the violinist Jack Rothstein (Cat Stevens). The music coupled with her strong voice results in a blend of soft rock and contemporary folk.
Besides her own solo career, she was a successful backing vocalist, and she figures on many classic records (Scott Walker, Dusty Springfield, Ringo Starr, Alan Parsons, Elton John, Pink Floyd...)

Reminded me of the 'Concert for George', 29th November, 2002.
The Set List:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_for_George
Joe Brown closed the show with a rendition of "I'll See You in My Dreams" on ukulele, one of Harrison's favourite instruments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfVPMMo4HQs
********
Here you can find George's handwritten note with signature ('Keoki') and sketch, dated 2/2/99:
“Crackers” may be the perfect word for Harrison’s uke-philia; he uses it himself in the adorable note above from 1999. “Everyone I know who is into the ukulele is ‘crackers,’” writes George, “you can’t play it and not laugh!” Harrison remained upbeat, even during his first cancer scare in 1997, the knife attack at his home in 1999, and the cancer relapse that eventually took his life in 2001. The ukulele seemed a sweetly genuine expression of his hopeful attitude.

Roy Orbison and Friends - "A Black and White Night"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WLY7P07OSwI
Frim wiki : The special consisted of a performance of many of Orbison's hits at the then Ambassador Hotel's Coconut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles, filmed on September 30, 1987, approximately fourteen months before his death. Three songs, "Blue Bayou", "Claudette", and "Blue Angel", were filmed but not included in the original broadcast due to time constraints.
Other celebrity admirers of Orbison were in the audience, including David Lynch, Billy Idol, Patrick Swayze, Billy Bob Thornton, Sandra Bernhard and Kris Kristofferson. The backing band was the TCB Band, which accompanied Elvis Presley from 1969 until his death in 1977: Glen Hardin on piano, James Burton on lead guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass, and Ronnie Tutt on drums. Male background vocalists, some of whom also joined in on guitar, electric organ and keyboards were Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther and Steven Soles. The female background vocalists were k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes and Bonnie Raitt. During the end credits, several of the band members are shown talking about how Orbison influenced them.

Well, guitar geek Kimmo Aroluoma gives a detailed description of Hendrix's use of effects including the Stockholm show. Aroluoma gives the concert low marks for the performance, and one can see a lot of fiddling. I, however, like the ensemble playing between the three during show.

That piece blurs the line between ambient and...I don't even know. I'm a fan of ambient music, but don't blame anyone for not liking it. Ultimately I think I prefer music that flirts with ambient without being fully in the genre, which that album certainly does. I also make ambient music, though. :lol:

I'm only here to post a bit of music every now and then that I've encountered along my way of trying to learn Japanese. In truth I completely suck at both music and Japanese (likely to go well with my sucking at philosophy), but hey... I've a lot of free time.
Anyway...
This has a little 'Chili Peppers' influence. Some younger rockers from Oita, Japan. Nice to see that on occasion younger musicians can still rock. ;)
This jam kicked off my last (brief) stint running a night club in the East Village, NYC ("Coney Island High" defunk*d).

No. It provides a much needed respite from the pages of classical, jazz, avant-garde, etc. posted here. Keep ‘em comin’!
Glad to hear that you liked them enough to insist on some more. As to your want for them to keep on coming, I’ll happily oblige & post the few songs that I played for myself when walking home last night (hopefully you’ll like them as well).

Reply to Mayor of Simpleton Never heard of them before (more than likely ‘cause they’re not a hip-hop act proper, but a funk one), though I still liked it. Yet I definitely recognized the three guys who’re rapping on that song; two of them are members of “Jurassic 5,” while the other is a member of “People Under The Stairs.” In light of that, I’ll post a song from each group; seeing as you liked a song on which they’re featured, you also might like their own songs (although I’m far from certain about it).
Thanks for the songs. I'm quite familiar with them both (and have them in my collection).
I used to follow much more music from hip hop, as well as soul/funk/hip hop or is it hip hop/soul/funk or funk/hip hop/soul... I get all the specifics of genres mixed up, as I simply like what I like. ;)
I have to say my interests have definitely shifted toward Japan (music and much more), still I'm open to a multitude of genres.
At the moment I find Japanese Math Rock, Modern Jazz and Shoegaze/Dream Pop and classic Shibuya-kei are my got to musical interests. Things change over time, but that's OK.
Keep on posting the music you like and it's all good.
(but there is a bit of Japanese hip hop I can plague people with... ????? ;) )
(I'm sorry, but I'm back to posting jazz from Japan.)
Not sure if your apology is directed at me, but I think I may have been misunderstood. My comments about the genres posted here weren’t meant to discourage anyone from posting anything. There’s some of that I actually like. I just didn’t want @Mental Forms to feel out of place. Well, that and I do like hip-hop. :grin:
Not sure if your apology is directed at me, but I think I may have been misunderstood. My comments about the genres posted here weren’t meant to discourage anyone from posting anything.
Actually your observation was clearly correct, as the posts were mostly jazz, classic or experimental.
Basically I listen to Japanese jazz, math rock, shoegaze/dream pop, shibuya-kei and just a small bit of classic/alternative 80's/90's pop, so it's likely I'd still be posting the 'same old same old'... kind of ironic, as outside of this thread it's anything except the 'same old same old'.
My personal tastes in music has really changed over the past few years and quite drastically over the past decade. Perhaps it's just me becoming a victim of my age, as I rarely find much on the mainstream radio that can hold my attention for more than a few moments. Indeed a few artists are intriguing, but they seem to have become few and far between.
Also, let's face it... I'm likely one of the only one's who'll be posting music from Japan, so I realize the audience is very limited for these choices. It's not with the intention to be 'special' or to stand out in a crowd, but rather it's actually what I spend most of my time listening to these days. Kind of odd in a way, as I was known for using 80's/90's pop music to explain everything in philosophy and used to post an endless stream of that sort of thing with every post, whether it really fit or not.
Since I no longer like to engage in philosophy, as it has become far less about an exchange of ideas than it has become more socially diseased with critique competitions, shit posts, territorial pissing and symbolic penis measuring contests (yes... I just said that and I stand behind it) I now try to stick to posting unsolicited music that likely most folks have never heard of before (and will likely forget soon there after)
I'll deviate from my abnormal norm and just post this as kind of a better explanation and a super difficult translation: ?????????????
No doubt about that. Music is significant only if it moves you, literally &-or figuratively speaking; & due to repetition, songs or whole kinds of music can eventually fail of that effect. So I completely understand that tastes can & do change with time. Again, no doubt about it.
(but there is a bit of Japanese hip hop I can plague people with... ????? ;) )
You know, I really don’t listen to a whole lot of non-English (speaking) hip-hop (as lyricism & lyrical content are a big part of hip-hop, & I just don’t understand the lyrics of non-English [speaking] hip-hop), but I can & do make exceptions if I like the beats/instrumentals. So, with that being said, I have to say that I actually did like the beats/instrumentals of the first & the last Japanese hip-hop songs that you posted.
Also, in saying that, I’ll take the liberty of posting one non-English (speaking) hip-hop song that I do actually listen to from time-to-time (a friend of mine just so happened to play it once, a long time ago, & I was hooked by the beat/instrumental & the performer’s cadence & tone on it [even though I don’t understand but a word or two & the chorus]).
I just didn’t want Mental Forms to feel out of place.
I appreciate your effort to assure me of that with an actual reply; like, for real. :up:

The name of the group? I don't know that they had a name, or that it was anything more than a few jam sessions- his particular area of interest was the philosophy/aesthetics of improv (so, mainly jazz), and he evidently played with a lot of local musicians in that capacity, but I don't know how serious or regular any of these ensembles/jam sessions actually were.
All I remember is that he mentioned playing with some of the of the Godspeed members at the local bar that one of the Godspeed members was an owner/co-owner of (Casa Del Popolo, iirc). Very cool bar with lots of good live music, the only problem was it was a long walk/bus ride from the downtown campus area where I lived at the time.

It's the greatest breakup song of all time and Dylan plays the best version. The bitterness is wonderful. "You just sort of wasted my precious time." Perfect. But I like that Tedeschi mixed the pain in too. That adds something good to the bitterness. I don't see it as sentimental.
I can't say you treated the song unkind. You could have done better, but I don't mind.
Reply to Changeling
I have always been a Manic Street Preachers' fan. I like their music, including that including Richey and afterwards. I think that my favourite album is ' This is My Truth, Tell Me Yours'. The track ' Motorcycle Emptiness' does stand out in their early work, and I do appreciate, 'The Holy Bible' album although Richey' s mental torture is evident and I would probably find listening to it too often a bit too much.
Lateralus might be the best metal track ever recorded.
Yeah, no kidding. All the Fibonacci stuff itself is impressive, but doing that and making a great sounding song takes it to a level I don’t think anyone has reached.
Yeah, totally agree. I’ve recently started trying to make/record music and take it a bit more seriously, so I’ve been trying to pay more attention to song structure, production, etc. when I listen to music instead of just listening for enjoyment. I’ll have to sit down with 10,000 Days and relisten to it.
I imagine the human voice slightly predates the wooden stick as the first musical instrument. There's a reason pop music is/was arguably the most successful art form in history (I guess that's a whole different can of worms).
Reply to Noble Dust
I have listened to the 10.000 days album several times now. The way bass and percussion move and change together permits the other effects.
The drumming is so certain to itself.
I like the way the rhythm guitar in 'right in two' becomes the melodic line.
Danny Carey is a jazz drummer by trade. I always felt his playing was as emotional as it is technical, a rarity, especially among metal drummers. I think you can see that here:
Reply to Tobias I fault that song primarily for a couple of historical inaccuracies. Rasputin was probably not the "Lover of the Russian queen" and I have not seen sources supporting the claim that he was "Russia's greatest love machine". Otherwise it's pretty much spot on.
Reply to Jamal I will not fault you for calling into question whether Mr. Rasputin was indeed involved with the Tsarina, but I take issue with your implication that he was not Russia's greatest love machine. True, we might quibble over the greatest. I am sure Russia harbors many a great love machine, however, he must be ranked among the greatest, love machinery wise that is.
Just a thought about watching live performance. I watch a lot of live plays on video.
This is a pop dance jazz number from a band I don't know. (They're playing a cover). But, notice how the girl sings with her heart and really feels the riff of the guitar player. The drummer is using electronic drum kit as this is not an auditorium performance, so makes sense. But I would like to see him play the acoustic one. The bass is awesome, too. Notice that he's playing it with the melody all through-out the song. All in all, everybody is enjoying playing it. The girl is attractive AF. The voices are harmonized well.

Reply to Noble Dust I never really got into the Cardiacs--I think the vocals put me off--but I do like one of the bands that came out of the Cardiacs, called Knifeworld.
I'll check them out tonight. I'm not a huge Cardiacs fan, but got into them through Oceansize; their lead singer Mike Vennart is a huge fan. You can maybe here some of the influence in the second half of this song, starting around 5:02:
Cool, I like the use of the horns on the first track. I definitely hear the Cardiacs vibe. How are they connected to Cardiacs? Also, as someone who moves in and out of different music circles, you might be the first person I know who has even heard of Cardiacs.
Yeah I think that's one of the things that really attracted me. They did a lot of stuff with bassoon as well. This was the first song of theirs that I heard, one of their best:
There seems to be an interesting niche of British music surrounding Cardiacs. Fascinating. I think I liked the first track you posted more, but this is interesting. Feels more proggy. Some Ian Anderson vibes or something.
If we're still trading tracks, this is the Oceansize magnus opus. The ending is profound.
Feels more proggy. Some Ian Anderson vibes or something.
Prog feels like my musical home. I don't know about Ian Anderson; what I hear is the influence of Henry Cow (now that's a weird rabbit hole for you if you don't know them; Fred Frith is one of my favourite musicians).
If we're still trading tracks, this is the Oceansize magnus opus. The ending is profound.
For some reason I assumed they were American, but I see they're from Manchester, and they were starting up around the time I was living there. I'd never heard of them.
I quite like it and I recognize the artistry, but it does have that solemn, portentous 90s guitar rock sound that I'm not that into. Maybe it'll grow on me. I appreciate learning of their existence.
I know of Henry Cow, but haven't listened. Where should I start?
Yeah, Oceansize is a pretty niche cult band. I sort of grew up with the 90s guitar rock sound, so I don't mind it, but it's definitely dated. Which is a shame because Oceansize's musical ideas are pretty interesting, but it's definitely overshadowed by the dated sound. The kids tell me 90s grunge is coming back, though.
I know of Henry Cow, but haven't listened. Where should I start?
Not sure it matters with Henry Cow. Legend or Western Culture. But I’m a bit more familiar with solo Fred Frith. Gravity and Traffic Continues are very different but both fantastic.

I love George Harrison but had no idea about this film-making collaboration. What a crew!
Apparently, the lyrics had a bit of a sting in them. Subtle.
In the 2011 documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World, directed by Martin Scorsese, Gilliam recalled that late in the production of Time Bandits he came to see the song's lyrics as "notes" from Harrison on the things he liked and disliked about the film and on how Gilliam was "too arrogant and not listening!" Gilliam added: "And I thought it was the most brilliant, subtle, clever thing a man could ever do, to write a song. He's writing about things that he felt strongly about and yet he's too polite and decent and, I think, respectful of other artists, whatever form that takes, to interfere."

What is it about ELO? Even the mention makes me smile.
Perhaps it's Jeff Lynne.
Again, there's a George Harrison connection. 'The Traveling Wilburys (sometimes shortened to the Wilburys) were a British–American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Originating from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine...'
From Cloud Nine: "This Is Love" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released on his 1987 album Cloud Nine. Harrison co-wrote the song with Jeff Lynne, who also co-produced the track. In June 1988, it was issued as the third single from Cloud Nine, peaking at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart.

Thank you :sparkle:
Beautiful and exactly what I was looking for this morning. I'm in that kind of mood.
A little bit sad and surreal. Seeking calm. Found it here. Japanese Zen.
Certainly no need to look up the lyrics!
But my curiosity was piqued as to the meaning.
What, where are the Five Mountains?
Poems of the Five Mountains - An Introduction to the Literature of the Zen Monasteries by Marian Ury
This second, revised edition of a pioneering volume, long out of print, presents translations of Japanese Zen poems on sorrow, old age, homesickness, the seasons, the ravages of time, solitude, the scenic beauty of the landscape of Japan, and monastic life.
Composed by Japanese Zen monks who lived from the last quarter of the thirteenth century to the middle of the fifteenth century, these poems represent a portion of the best of the writing called in Japanese gozan bungaku, “literature of the five mountains.”
“Five mountains” or “five monasteries” refers to the system by which the Zen monasteries were hierarchically ordered and governed. For the monks in the monasteries, poetry functioned as a means not only of expressing religious convictions and personal feelings but also of communicating with others in a civilized and courteous fashion.
If he did (pre disagreement with Wagner about Christianity) it would be in this mode:
Bryn Terfel :heart:
Back to Nietzsche. He admired Goethe's Faust, which bears comparison to Mozart's 'Don Giovanni'.
And so the return to Bryn. I think Nietzsche is a frustrated Donny G :monkey:
A selective biography of the great Friedrich Nietzsche, to the tune of Nena's '99 Red Balloons'.
Perhaps a little off in points, hopefully more interesting than a dreary textbook :D
You may guess, part way through, that i can't speak German, and thus, my pronunciation may be more then a little off..
words:
in a little town they called Rocken
Friedrich Nietzsche's name
was first written
born to a Lutheran Pastor
who shortly died, Nietzsche sobered faster
But as a child, a prodigy
was the word used to describe Nietzsche
he excelled at school and promised fame
but the antichrist became his name
a scholar of philology
which led him to write the birth of tragedy
an exploration of the grecian arts
which wasn't well received in many parts.
but he soon found his real calling
as he turned to philosophical mauling
starting off with schopenhauer
As the antichrist became his name
a proponent of relativity,
and the lack of objective morality
Nietzsche's works were quite controversial
unlike Hume, that giant turtle.
in an intensely atheistic turn
Zarathustra became the source of his learning
it's here that he grabbed his claim to fame
and the antichrist became his name
(the bit where it all goes wrong..)
Wohin ist Gott?
rief er, ich will
es euch sagen!
Wir haben ihn getötet,
Gott ist tot!
Gott bleibt tot!
Und wir haben ihn getötet!
Wie trösten wir uns,
die Mörder aller Mörder?
now after that interlude
Nietzsche went mad,
and his work was 'improved'
by his awful nazi sister
who shoved it all in front of Hitler
the philosopher of the third Reich
was an ironic position for someone like him
who despised nationalism
and hated antisemitism..
and so it seems, that was his life,
a relatively short one of plenty strife
but now thanks to Walter Kauffman
he's regaining his reputation
a life of scholarly pursuits
is finally bursting into fruit
i'm glad of Nietzsche's final fame
though the Antichrist, he does remain..
thanks for listening :]

Reply to Amity
The message from Hicks I hear relates to how Nietzsche said that one has to be careful who one decides is an enemy because one elevates them by fighting them. So, by fighting Christianity he became stuck with it.

Hmm. Yes. I see your point.
Some don't see beyond the slogan: 'God is Dead'. A stuck refrain.
But he lifted up Christianity for inspection, highlighting and revealing its defects.
In a lyrical, creative way...as in TSZ...echoing his love for music and composition.

So perhaps not harsh enough to be counted as 'nu metal'.

I think of them as sort of "nu metal" in the sense that they played with a lot of the shitty nu metal bands of the time; they were all playing the same circuits. But yeah, they're a diverse group. Out of that list I like "funk metal" the best. :lol:
"Post grunge" is another term for that scene, of which there are only two other bands I consider worth listening to; Tool and Rage Against the Machine.
I forgot Nine Inch Nails; Trent is a genius. Those other bands are definitely a cut above the drivel, but do nothing for me...I get the appeal of System of a Down, but Serj annoys me. Don't know what to tell ya. If you have examples to sway me otherwise I'm all ears.

I agree, but wasn’t lumping them in with nu metal. I just find it confusing how you can like NIN/Ministry, but not Static-X, or how you can like Rage, but not System. Static-X is like Ministry 2.0, and System is pretty similar to Rage too.
I just re-listened to Chop Suey. This songs blows.
:rofl:
I think it’s pretty good, but not their best. They’re first album was more aggressive, and probably more experimental as well. Here’s a couple examples.

'Our hearts are broken' or so we are told.

We are in for at least 10 days of fully rehearsed, televised mourning and remembrance rituals.
I am no royalist but I admit to feeling sad and shedding a tear. BBC coverage has that effect.
I am not a fan of soap opera either but hey, let's be good neighbours for at least a day...a minute?

Reply to Amity The somewhat mawkish Neighbours theme was written by songwriters Jacky Trent and Tony Hatch. They actually wrote one of Scott Walker's greatest songs, Joanna. Oddly enough I was listening to it last night.
Gotta ask how old you are, I'm sorry. Just a litmus test.
Personally I consider curiosity to be a good thing, promoting neuroplasticity and what more, so I'll counter first as I'm equally curious. What sparked it, was it the average age of the songs or was it the frequency with which they are posted or do you use it somehow as an offset against my posting behaviour in general? Should I feel offended in any way or are you perhaps the Confucian proverbial teacher?

Just that Kate Bush has suddenly become big with gen Z after a song of hers was in Stranger Things.
I see. I was about 6 years old when her first album got published back in 1978. She has always intrigued me but I only started to appreciate her music during the early 90's. She has written many great songs but I consider "The man with the child in his eyes" to be her opus magnum as it is one of those rare songs I could never get enough of.
Whoda thunkit, the song is very popular in Galway, Ireland. It's been recorded by a bunch of Irish performers. Here's a wonderful performance in, yes, Galway:
The way he puts his hand in his pocket and then immediately takes it out and then strokes his chin. He's clearly uncomfortable. He's spent his whole life in a glass box (studio) and then is suddenly on stage in front of thousands of people.

Self-awareness is hard to get rid off for some of us. I used to have some singing ambitions myself but I couldnt get past the stage-fright so I gave it up eventually. I still sing though but only when there isnt another soul in the vicinity.
Self-awareness is indeed strange. As a musician, I had stage fright for the piano, but never for anything else; singing in front of people gave me a rush, and still does, theoretically, but it's been pre-covid. Poor Hanz, on the other hand, looks like he's on stage for the first time. Anyway, we can let him be.

I'm not a Modest Mouse fan; Can't stand dude's voice, but that was ok. I assume it's early period. I can see the appeal. But yeah I don't like this at all.

I was a tad toasty last night, so I should clarify. There is of course agreement and disagreement of taste. My issue is that when you ask me if I "agree" with a song, that's a non sequitur. You need to clarify what the agreement or disagreement is about. Are you asking if I agree with you that it's a good song? Then say so. that said,
Reply to Seeker yeah not as catchy.
die antwood is not my favorite. I think it takes some skill to be edgy without crossing the edge and being just weird for the sake of being weird. I don't like to be too critical of art though.
Have to say I removed the video's after rewatching it as it landed very differently than back when I used to enjoy it, a changed sense of awareness I guess.
Reply to Yohan diverse taste goes for you too apparently :cool:
I like all sorts of music so long as there's any true musical value to it, to my particular taste atleast, ranges from catchy vocals and melodies to great guitar rifs/licks and not neccessarily limited to that. Like you I also have some romantic views concerning certain music, the distinct sound of the Beatles for instance being some of it as it really takes me to another time and place.
I was thinking about taking it easy on yourself, myself, ourselves.
In general. Not about romantic break-ups.
But this kinda sound is easy on my ear, right now. So here it is:
[quote=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatboy_Slim]Norman Quentin Cook[1] (born Quentin Leo Cook, 31 July 1963),[2] also known by his stage name Fatboy Slim, is an English musician, DJ, and record producer[3] who helped to popularise the big beat genre in the 1990s. In the 1980s, Cook was the bassist for the Hull-based indie rock band the Housemartins, who achieved a UK number-one single with their a cappella cover of "Caravan of Love".[/quote]
From the mid-1980s onward, Walker revived his solo career while moving in an increasingly avant-garde direction; of this period in his career, The Guardian said "imagine Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen". Walker's 1960s recordings were highly regarded by the 1980s UK underground music scene, and gained a cult following.
Walker continued to record until 2018. He was described by the BBC upon his death as "one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history".
[...]
Crucial differences came via the more avant-garde orchestrations of his arrangers (primarily Angela Morley (at the time known as Wally Stott), Peter Knight and Reg Guest) and by Walker's own approach to lyrics, which involved a cinematic mise-en-scene approach once described as "unsettling short stories, all the more creepy for their delicate orchestral backdrop."
I hit on this one yesterday and didn't last for more than 30 seconds!

I love/d this song but paying more attention to the lyrics:
[...]
Just trust in me like I trust in you
As long as we've been together
It should be so easy to do
Just get yourself together
Or we might as well say goodbye
What good is a love affair
When you can't see eye to eye
If you don't know me by now
You will never
Never, never know me
Sometimes we don't even know or trust ourselves.
As for 'just get yourself together'!
Then the threat... :naughty:
This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie

Being, as I am, a tad peeved at always hearing the opinion that music isn't as good as it used to be, I've been listening to some new and newish music.
My left ear is currently fucked up as it is every so often, so I'm taking a break from listening to music until it heals, as I'll otherwise lose my mind if the stereo field is off. There are some names I know but don't know the tunes, but the only ones I know well from this list are Owen Pallett and Makaya McCraven. Pallett is nice; I remember years ago having my music compared to his, which at the time I didn't take as a strong compliment. Makaya on the other hand is it. So much tension, so many thoughtful grooves, such an unstructured approach to what I can only call post-jazz.

Thanks for sharing. My ears aren't so good that I can tell much of a difference between all the remixes.
But I enjoyed listening to your picks and the YouTube run-on to a song I hadn't heard before:
The major difference that I call tell listening to the 2 disc CD edition (not streaming on Youtube) is the superior sound image, clarity and brightness of this modern stereo mix compared to the primitive, slapdaah, "panning" stereo of the mid '60s. I still prefer the mono mixes of all their albums up to and including the "White Album", as the band did too from what I understand. However, Abbey Road, their only fully 8-track album, was not mixed in mono.

From wiki:
Although it is an Orbison solo single, Orbison's fellow Traveling Wilburys bandmates, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne, co-wrote the song and played instruments on the record [...]
Orbison gave his only public rendition of the hit at the Diamond Awards Festival in Antwerp, Belgium, on November 19, 1988, just 17 days before his death and before the single was released. This footage was incorporated into the song's music video. A 2014 version incorporated videos of rehearsal and practice sessions.
First time listening to Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart. I'd been led to expect unlistenable cacophony but a lot of it's really groovy to my ears.
Yeah, Tomas is always impressive, as well as Meshuggah. Kinda apples and oranges to me though with Sepultura. To me you can feel their personal connection to the music. Almost like it’s spiritual, soulful. Meshuggah is strict precision and technique. More machine like. Both impressive, but for different reasons.

Reply to 180 Proof smh, that was such a ridiculously stacked lineup... Chick and Herbie Hancock on keys/piano? And John McLaughlin on gee-tar? Just unfair. Its honestly sort of crazy how many people played with MD only to go on to become huge stars in their own right. Seems like MD basically functioned like a highly prestigious one-man music college- what a beast!

I love that. Believe it or not, I even bought the CD!
I was introduced to Coltrane during a module on 'How to Listen To Music'.
The best OU experience ever with exceptional student discussions sharing favourites and own music.
A real ear-opener I will never forget :sparkle:
Reply to busycuttingcrapReply to Amity That was the track that got me into jazz. To this day I never tire of it, which is more than I can say for some of the other stuff I was into at the time.

I'd have to say that Chick Corea/Return to Forever first got me into the jazz vicinity (i.e. fusion), but it was Coltrane- and the track "Afro Blue" specifically (which I've probably listened to literally hundreds of times, and never get tired of)- that got me into jazz proper. Music just doesn't get any better than Johnny C.

Oddly, for a long time the only fusion I really listened to was Weather Report. It’s only recently that I’ve begun to listen to Chick Corea/Return to Forever (which is even more weird because I went to see him in concert many years ago). I’ve been enjoying Romantic Warrior and The Leprechaun. The latter is total cheese but these days I can enjoy such things without shame.

Weather Report is great, too. Love me some Jaco Pastorius. But Stanley Clarke and Return to Forever are on another level (imo), and Romantic Warrior especially (that was the first RtF album I ever heard, and I was instantly hooked).
And yeah some of that 60-70s fusion/prog can get a little corny at times, but the musicianship is always legit :fire:
The G.O.A.T. (seriously, it may be the best album ever). I had to re-burn myself a new copy just the other day because the one I had was so scratched and beaten up from use (I still live in the stone age and use CDs/CD players almost exclusively).
I will say, though, that I enjoy the hell out of Spotify (which I use on my computer); being able to listen to pretty much any music you can think of without having to find and pay for particular CDs is pretty awesome (especially live albums or rare releases). I've discovered a lot of bands and musicians that I probably otherwise would never have heard of or had a chance to listen to.
And then when I find something I like, I'll often then go and buy the CD version. But there's no way I'm giving up on my CD collection, I've been curating that sucker for ~30 years at this point!
Wow, I'm ashamed of how far behind I am on this thread. Some wiki rabbit trail today put me back on to this obscure English early modern composer. There's an austerity that speaks to my present musical mind.
As to the Coltrane conversation re: @busycuttingcrap@Jamal@Amity@180 Proof, I'm partial to his last years. This track, Welcome, is to me his magnum opus. Devastatingly beautiful and life affirming. A true "tune" in the tune-iest sense.
After first hearing the album Aethiopes by rapper Billy Woods a few days ago, I've listened to its tracks multiple times and will continue to do so.
Lyrics are inspired and impose depressive, murky landscapes to convey weighty visuals and abstract mind states; words are delivered with intrepid surety.
Instrumentals are homogenous and dignified. An amalgamation of vintage, perhaps Medieval, sounds.
The album title is an Ancient European term for African people.
The album cover is a tinted portion of the painting Two Moors by Rembrandt.
"Asleep at the wheel
Gently over the guardrail, flipped heads or tails
One died, she survived
Asked why, replied, "God's not real"
Ducked the question
In a hospital room full of flowers, I plucked the best one
In a world full of cowards, it's bound to be tension"
- Christine (featuring Mike Ladd) written by Billy Woods and Preservation

I find Depeche Mode to be a wonderful band. The whole era of electric eighties, including some of the darker stuff is loved by many. I also like Marc Almond so much. However, I am not able to link to You Tube on my phone and spend so much time playing discs in full. I even like Duran Duran, who are often viewed as a boy band, but some of it like, 'Seven and the Ragged Tiger' album goes beyond pop.

Good to know. I never really listened to this or them before.
I just wanted a song that screamed out ''Wrong!''
I guess it comes from a place of anger...rather than sweetness and light :wink:

Depeche Mode are a great catharsis for anger and I recommend the album 'Violator'. For anger, especially about the state of the world, I recommend one of my favourite albums by 'Mindbomb' by The The.

I do like the Nine Inch Nails, especially 'The Downward Spiral', and a lot of goth as catharsis, but mainly for melancholy moments. I really like the Jesus and Mary Chain's 'Darklands'. One band who I find invigorating are the Mission and I do like some punk for coping with anger. I do find some more recent stuff too, like 'Brutalism'

I have heard a little of Black Grape and quite liked it, but not as much as Shaun Rider's Happy Mondays'. As far as knowing British music, I am in the process of moving and keep digging out music from so many obscure bands in England and some in America. I adore The Stone Roses, The Stranglers and The Psychedelic Furs, and some current ones. I even wonder if it such music captures insights which are beyond the scope of the logic of philosophy and my line-up for tonight includes The Charlatans, Caz Coombes of Supergrass, The Cure, The Fall and possibly The Artic Monkeys...
Y'all know the story of Miles cover of that song? Supposedly Miles was driving around the Upper East Side and saw David walking down the street. He pulled over and was like "Come check out the version of your tune I recorded, dude". He brought David back to his place, played him the track, and David in no uncertain terms told him how much he hated it. Miles kicked him out.
Sometimes I take a left
When everything is right
And I can see the road
When I turn out the light
I sleep under the stars
And then it starts to rain
Take cover in a bar
And run into a friend (x4)
Till the sun comes out again
Fell asleep in LA
Woke up in Bangkok
Gave my soul to a babe
In a pawn shop
Oh my ee oh my home
Could be anywhere
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
Any road, any road, any road
Oh my ee oh my home
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
I may have roamed these streets
A hundred times before
And when I finally meet you
I'll roam a hundred more
And maybe we'll go north
And maybe we'll go south
Just to keep on rolling, rolling, rolling
Is what it's all about
Fell asleep in LA
Woke up in Bangkok
Gave my soul to a babe
In a pawn shop
Oh my ee oh my home
Could be anywhere
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
Any road, any road, any road
Oh my ee oh my home
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
Oh the last thing I remember
Before she broke my heart
We were riding in a rickshaw
Down Sunset Boulevard
And I asked her where we're going
She said, "baby don't you care
Any road, any road will take you there"
Fell asleep in LA
Woke up in Bangkok
Gave my soul to a babe
In a pawn shop
Oh my ee oh my home
Could be anywhere
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
Fascinating artist. I used to work at a music venue, and one night she performed a sold out show. Bjork was in the audience. After the show, I was heading downstairs to the office to get my stuff and leave for the night, and the two of them were ever so slowly walking down the stairs having a close, intimate conversation. I had no choice but to tippy toe out of ear shot behind them and try not to be noticed, until they made it to the green room.
Reply to Noble Dust I love that album. Despite the perceived corniness, they seem to have remained cool ever since the eighties. An affection for Hats by The Blue Nile signals your aspiration to be a sophisticated urbanite.
Reply to 180 ProofReply to Moliere One of my very favourite musicians. I love his compositions and his co-leadership of Weather Report but I first got to know him through his work with McCoy Tyner:
[quote=George Harrison, 1988 & 1989][The Beatles] [i]can't exist with just the three of us, but at the same time, we could all be on the stage together I s'pose.

My brother and I have really different tastes in music. Over the years that I've given him music as a gift, the only one he has really liked is Chris Smither. I'd pretty much given up on buying him more music until I started listening to Ray Wylie Hubbard. Now I just sent him a copy of one of his albums for his birthday. This song, "The Messenger" is on the album I got him, but this is a different version, one I like very much:
I’d heard this song a few times over the decades but never took any notice. Then on Sunday night I was walking down the street and there was a guy singing it accompanied by electric guitar and a backing track. It was weirdly, deeply affecting, not because it was an overly-emoting slow version—it wasn’t—but maybe because the strength of the song came out better when sung in a lower register.
The trouble is, neither the original nor any covers I’ve found online come close. Still, it’s a very good song in itself, despite its cheesy eightiesness.
The only reason I like that song is because it was in Twin Peaks: The Return. It reminds me fondly of the fucked up time in my life when I was watching that fucked up show.

I geek-out on historical fictions because they more often than not get so many things absurdly (unnecessarily) wrong – especially films. Fury is that very rare, quite underrated, "war story" that gets things mostly right, which IMO makes it even more powerful (and "less Hollyweird"). Enjoy the catharsis ...

She was frigid like a bible
When she met her boyfriend michael
He took her in his zephyr
They sat like salt and pepper
Looking out across the city
From lover's leap is pretty
The lights they flick and flutter
He told her how he loved her
Next night he called for her
But dad protected daughter
And told him she was poorly
A lie was told there surely
So michael felt rejected
This wasn't quite expected
He drove off to his local
Where he felt anti-social
She cried all night at missing
The boy she could be kissing
While he was falling over
He drunk himself back sober
And went home in a taxi
And crashed out in the back seat
He slept just like a baby
Which he hadn't done just lately
He saw her in the morning
Out with his sister pauline
She felt all shy and soppy
He acted cool and cocky
He said tonight at charlie's
There's going to be a party
I'll meet you at half seven
She visualised the heaven
If you ever change your mind
Which you do from time to time
Never chew a pickle
With a little slap and tickle
You have to throw the stone
To get the pool to ripple
That night they danced together
It looked like love forever
He put his hand on her leg
You should have heard what she said
He tried again much later
It seemed to aggravate her
He drove home in silence
Avoiding all violence
She said let's watch the city
From lover's leap is pretty
I think i need the fresh air
She put a comb through her hair
Then while she turned to kiss him
And very nearly missed him
She put her hand on his leg
He felt her tongue in his head
If you ever change your mind
Which you do from time to time
Never chew a pickle
With a little slap and tickle
You have to throw the stone
To get the pool to ripple

Yep! Probably Dave Stewart, not to be confused with Dave Stewart.
Dave Stewart the producer?
Aha.
This track was from a legendary 'studio jam session', featuring also some great sessions musicians supporting the star musicians. This version of Donovan's Season of the Witch was possibly THE first ever jazz rock track recorded. When I heard it, it was the height of hip, the hippest thing I'd ever heard.
Remember, 1968, when it was laid down, was 'the year that changed the world' - the Tet Offensive, Prague Spring, Kent State shootings, the assination of RFK and Martin Luther King - a world in turmoil, alive with revolution and the possibility of change.
I've just re-discovered this track, 50 years later, courtesy digital media, and am glad to report that it sounds just as good now as when me and all my long-haired friends used to get completely stoned and lie on the floor listening to it for hours on end. Steve Stills wah-wah guitar is just completely on the money, and Al Kooper's electronic organ is scintillating. An all-time great.
He got his start with Pharaoh Sanders I think.

Stay if you want to and go if you must
I couldn't hold you, I wouldn't want to
But if you feel blue, run to me
I'll make some coffee and just be around
And you can tell me what's getting you down
That's what I came for, born of the same law
Right through the same door you and me
And if your life gets heavy, I'll lighten up your day
Do my best to make you feel at one
It's the best way that I know; babe, I love you so
You know I'll need you till my life is done
Everything changes and love travels on
Melt in the sunshine, rest in the dawn
Just let it move you, that's all you can do
Open your heart and see the sun
And if your life gets heavy, I'll lighten up your day
Do my best to make you feel at one
It's the best way that I know; babe, I love you so

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Ah, Venice - La Serenissima. Wish I was there...
Quoting Zucchero
Camminato per le strade
Col sole dei tuoi occhi
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio... spara
Che bella quiete sulle cime
Mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio
Per questo troppo amore, per noi
E questo bel dolore
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai
Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te
Ho visto il sole nei tuoi occhi
Calare nella sera
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio... spara
Che bella quiete sulle rive
Mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
Ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio
Ma dove andranno i giorni e noi
Le fughe e poi i ritorni
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai
Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te
Ohoh ohoh
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio sole
Siamo caduti in volo
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio cielo
Siamo caduti in volo
Per questo amore immenso, per noi
E il gran dolore che sento
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai
Sogno, qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Buono come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
Che illumini il cielo
Proprio come te
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di buono
Che mi illumini il mondo
Proprio come te

Ever since I heard the Animals sing that, it has become the soundtrack of more of my life than was strictly necessary.
The Animals version was the first I heard too. For me, then, just a bit of pop.
So, being misunderstood - that sounds like the start of a long story.

??!
Thank you.
My Back Pages
Bob Dylan
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Girl's faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

Not much into playing music during sex. It feels contrived. But, Manson’s “Deformography” worked well in the past. A bit dark, but it builds in intensity and has a great rhythm. The lyrics seem sexual to me too.
As for other events, I think bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Stone Temple Pilots are great to listen to on long drives.
Having listened, read the lyrics and his background - interesting how it might 'work' for some.
Manson. Not for me. But thanks for sharing. What is it about Manson that attracts ?

Quoting Amity
Well, it’s partly just preference; I just so happen to enjoy this type of music, but I’m sure there’s also personal reasons. Without writing a novel, he basically started me on the path to “philosophy” by questioning things I had taken as true. So, I’ll always be grateful for that. But yeah, not exactly role model material.
Yes. Preference or taste in music. Does that say anything at all about the person who links to a particular piece of music ? Or who doesn't want to try any other flavour ?
Elsewhere, I likened music to ice-cream.
https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/597962
That was in response to:
Quoting @ tim wood
So, returning to the music of Manson - if it is seen as a portal, or a way to 'transport' you - where does the music take you ? Elysian fields ?
Quoting Pinprick
So, this has more to do with the lyrics ? The message sent out ?
From the song you linked to:
Quoting Amity
Where is the philosophy here ?
Quoting Pinprick
Perhaps so. However, don't you think you were already on a 'quest' of sorts ? Questioning beliefs.
How long ago was that ?
How much have you questioned the 'philosophy' or motivation of the one you are grateful to ?
Do you still have him buried/burrowed in your head ?
Quoting Pinprick
Well, his role as singer/musician seems to have inspired a few admirers ?
Can we separate the product from the producer ?
Back to ice-cream.
I always preferred vanilla rather than the addition of synthetic flavours. I could add my favourite fruits or whatever for any 'je ne sais quoi'.
But then, I travelled to Italy. The land of music and ice-cream and the Mafia etc, etc....
Il gelato alla pesca. Classic with real peaches. Yum :cool:
And so many flavours and rhythms of music to listen to.
River strolling, head-banging; swaying or swearing...and so much more...along the way...
I'm not sure you could even think of Manson as a sweet.
However, from the types and tastes here:
https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2009/jul/14/learn-italian-phrases-ice-cream
Possibly - a hard, cold, icy, dark granito balsamico ?

Peter Gabriel, 1989
This is a live recording. Pretty tight.
I think it probably does, but my reasons for liking X may be different than your reasons for liking X. So it isn’t like you can say “oh, you like X, you nest be Y type of person.”
Quoting Amity
I like different styles of music, so it depends. But generally speaking music that’s aggressive or controversial is kind of cathartic to me. I’m a very reserved, self-conscious person; always in control of my emotions, etc. But this type of music allows me to let go of my inhibitions.
Quoting Amity
Well, it’s both. I mean you can find anti-religious music in many genres, for example, but they all don’t resonate the same way.
Quoting Amity
I don’t think this song’s particularly deep.
Quoting Amity
No. I was raised in a small town where everyone was the same. From race, to religion, to politics, to socio-economic status. As a result, you never bump into someone who challenges your beliefs. I discovered Manson when I was about 16, so 2002-2003. Something like that.
Quoting Amity
I never considered his personal philosophy much. I’m not really sure what that even is. He just got me wondering things like “what if God doesn’t exist?”
Quoting Amity
I don’t know what you mean exactly. I still like his music, at least his older stuff.
Quoting Amity
I think so. His main three albums (Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holywood) were concept albums that all connected to form a triptych. So there’s multiple characters involved in the story he’s telling, and it is meant to be a story. But there’s definitely autobiographical information in it as well.
Quoting Amity
Lol, sounds about right.
Thanks for your reply.
Re: being influenced by anyone.
Sometimes, songs get stuck in our heads. Like an earworm burrowing in. Usually, it's just a catchy song which begins to irritate after a while.
There can be certain cult-like elements which might send negative vibes or messages.

For her second solo LP, Lesley Duncan (1943 – 2010), is surrounded by great musicians including Andy Bown (Herd, Status Quo), and a chamber-pop arrangement, which is Jimmy Horowitz's specialty, realized by the violinist Jack Rothstein (Cat Stevens). The music coupled with her strong voice results in a blend of soft rock and contemporary folk.
Besides her own solo career, she was a successful backing vocalist, and she figures on many classic records (Scott Walker, Dusty Springfield, Ringo Starr, Alan Parsons, Elton John, Pink Floyd...)

Frim wiki : The special consisted of a performance of many of Orbison's hits at the then Ambassador Hotel's Coconut Grove nightclub in Los Angeles, filmed on September 30, 1987, approximately fourteen months before his death. Three songs, "Blue Bayou", "Claudette", and "Blue Angel", were filmed but not included in the original broadcast due to time constraints.
Other celebrity admirers of Orbison were in the audience, including David Lynch, Billy Idol, Patrick Swayze, Billy Bob Thornton, Sandra Bernhard and Kris Kristofferson. The backing band was the TCB Band, which accompanied Elvis Presley from 1969 until his death in 1977: Glen Hardin on piano, James Burton on lead guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass, and Ronnie Tutt on drums. Male background vocalists, some of whom also joined in on guitar, electric organ and keyboards were Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther and Steven Soles. The female background vocalists were k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes and Bonnie Raitt. During the end credits, several of the band members are shown talking about how Orbison influenced them.

Well, guitar geek Kimmo Aroluoma gives a detailed description of Hendrix's use of effects including the Stockholm show. Aroluoma gives the concert low marks for the performance, and one can see a lot of fiddling. I, however, like the ensemble playing between the three during show.
I like that.

Andy Akiho: "Ricochet" (Ping Pong Concerto)
That piece blurs the line between ambient and...I don't even know. I'm a fan of ambient music, but don't blame anyone for not liking it. Ultimately I think I prefer music that flirts with ambient without being fully in the genre, which that album certainly does. I also make ambient music, though. :lol:

But I want them near me
Your gaze

And the words I’ve borrowed from you
They’re all here,
They’re still here,
The truth is...
Your sugar was so sweet
I’ve been poisoned by it
But I will never say
It was your fault or such, sugar
Yes.

No. It provides a much needed respite from the pages of classical, jazz, avant-garde, etc. posted here. Keep ‘em comin’!
(I'm sorry, but I'm back to posting jazz from Japan.)
(For "Cowboy BeBop" fans ...)
Recently I tend toward avoiding music from 'the West', but if (western) hip-hop... well for me... this...
Thanks for the songs. I'm quite familiar with them both (and have them in my collection).
I used to follow much more music from hip hop, as well as soul/funk/hip hop or is it hip hop/soul/funk or funk/hip hop/soul... I get all the specifics of genres mixed up, as I simply like what I like. ;)
I have to say my interests have definitely shifted toward Japan (music and much more), still I'm open to a multitude of genres.
At the moment I find Japanese Math Rock, Modern Jazz and Shoegaze/Dream Pop and classic Shibuya-kei are my got to musical interests. Things change over time, but that's OK.
Keep on posting the music you like and it's all good.
(but there is a bit of Japanese hip hop I can plague people with... ????? ;) )
Not sure if your apology is directed at me, but I think I may have been misunderstood. My comments about the genres posted here weren’t meant to discourage anyone from posting anything. There’s some of that I actually like. I just didn’t want @Mental Forms to feel out of place. Well, that and I do like hip-hop. :grin:
Actually your observation was clearly correct, as the posts were mostly jazz, classic or experimental.
Basically I listen to Japanese jazz, math rock, shoegaze/dream pop, shibuya-kei and just a small bit of classic/alternative 80's/90's pop, so it's likely I'd still be posting the 'same old same old'... kind of ironic, as outside of this thread it's anything except the 'same old same old'.
My personal tastes in music has really changed over the past few years and quite drastically over the past decade. Perhaps it's just me becoming a victim of my age, as I rarely find much on the mainstream radio that can hold my attention for more than a few moments. Indeed a few artists are intriguing, but they seem to have become few and far between.
Also, let's face it... I'm likely one of the only one's who'll be posting music from Japan, so I realize the audience is very limited for these choices. It's not with the intention to be 'special' or to stand out in a crowd, but rather it's actually what I spend most of my time listening to these days. Kind of odd in a way, as I was known for using 80's/90's pop music to explain everything in philosophy and used to post an endless stream of that sort of thing with every post, whether it really fit or not.
Since I no longer like to engage in philosophy, as it has become far less about an exchange of ideas than it has become more socially diseased with critique competitions, shit posts, territorial pissing and symbolic penis measuring contests (yes... I just said that and I stand behind it) I now try to stick to posting unsolicited music that likely most folks have never heard of before (and will likely forget soon there after)
I'll deviate from my abnormal norm and just post this as kind of a better explanation and a super difficult translation: ?????????????
Quoting Mayor of Simpleton
Quoting Mayor of SimpletonNo doubt about that. Music is significant only if it moves you, literally &-or figuratively speaking; & due to repetition, songs or whole kinds of music can eventually fail of that effect. So I completely understand that tastes can & do change with time. Again, no doubt about it.
Quoting Mayor of Simpleton Likewise, bro. :cool:
Quoting Mayor of Simpleton You know, I really don’t listen to a whole lot of non-English (speaking) hip-hop (as lyricism & lyrical content are a big part of hip-hop, & I just don’t understand the lyrics of non-English [speaking] hip-hop), but I can & do make exceptions if I like the beats/instrumentals. So, with that being said, I have to say that I actually did like the beats/instrumentals of the first & the last Japanese hip-hop songs that you posted.
Also, in saying that, I’ll take the liberty of posting one non-English (speaking) hip-hop song that I do actually listen to from time-to-time (a friend of mine just so happened to play it once, a long time ago, & I was hooked by the beat/instrumental & the performer’s cadence & tone on it [even though I don’t understand but a word or two & the chorus]).
Quoting Pinprick I appreciate your effort to assure me of that with an actual reply; like, for real. :up:
Also, I’ve never heard that Saul Williams song before (t.b.h., I’ve probably never heard any song by him, though the name does sound familiar). It was sweet. Yet the opening line of that Saul Williams song, I’m not sure if you know this or not, is actually taken (I’m certain, by way of inspiration) from Biz Markie’s the “Vapors.” It’s said at 0:34 into its video.

Cool. I wasn’t aware of that.
Quoting Seppo
Was it A Silver Mt. Zion?
The name of the group? I don't know that they had a name, or that it was anything more than a few jam sessions- his particular area of interest was the philosophy/aesthetics of improv (so, mainly jazz), and he evidently played with a lot of local musicians in that capacity, but I don't know how serious or regular any of these ensembles/jam sessions actually were.
All I remember is that he mentioned playing with some of the of the Godspeed members at the local bar that one of the Godspeed members was an owner/co-owner of (Casa Del Popolo, iirc). Very cool bar with lots of good live music, the only problem was it was a long walk/bus ride from the downtown campus area where I lived at the time.

Here's another version of the same song by Tedeschi. This time it's the organ solo.
Great song, great musicians, but I don't like it, they overplayed it and over-sentimentalised it, and clearly thought twice or even three times. I wish there was something they could sing or play to try and make me change my mind, but they entirely lost the vitriol and irony of the original. And you even linked it twice!
It's the greatest breakup song of all time and Dylan plays the best version. The bitterness is wonderful. "You just sort of wasted my precious time." Perfect. But I like that Tedeschi mixed the pain in too. That adds something good to the bitterness. I don't see it as sentimental.
I can't say you treated the song unkind. You could have done better, but I don't mind.
@unenlightened
Let's try this instead:
I can't say you treated the song unfair. You could have done better, but I don't care.
Great ensemble playing between Bass and second and first Guitar (depending upon the part of the song).
Hendrix does a beautiful rendition on the "Blues" collection, but I cannot find a You Tube version worth posting.
I have always been a Manic Street Preachers' fan. I like their music, including that including Richey and afterwards. I think that my favourite album is ' This is My Truth, Tell Me Yours'. The track ' Motorcycle Emptiness' does stand out in their early work, and I do appreciate, 'The Holy Bible' album although Richey' s mental torture is evident and I would probably find listening to it too often a bit too much.
I feel that 'The Wind Cries Mary' by Hendrix is a wonderful track and it sometimes gets overlooked amongst his songs.
Interesting play of piano as percussion versus melody. Or both, if that is the movement.

Interesting choice. Lateralus might be the best metal track ever recorded.
Yeah, no kidding. All the Fibonacci stuff itself is impressive, but doing that and making a great sounding song takes it to a level I don’t think anyone has reached.
Indeed. Also love this track and this album in general, I feel like it's pretty underrated. The production alone is a lot more detailed.
Yeah, totally agree. I’ve recently started trying to make/record music and take it a bit more seriously, so I’ve been trying to pay more attention to song structure, production, etc. when I listen to music instead of just listening for enjoyment. I’ll have to sit down with 10,000 Days and relisten to it.
That is one tight band. I did not know of it.
They're apparently that tight live as well; no studio wizardry required.
I've started listening to choral music. There is something about human voices, especially lots of human voices, that is very comforting.
I imagine the human voice slightly predates the wooden stick as the first musical instrument. There's a reason pop music is/was arguably the most successful art form in history (I guess that's a whole different can of worms).
I have listened to the 10.000 days album several times now. The way bass and percussion move and change together permits the other effects.
The drumming is so certain to itself.
I like the way the rhythm guitar in 'right in two' becomes the melodic line.
Danny Carey is a jazz drummer by trade. I always felt his playing was as emotional as it is technical, a rarity, especially among metal drummers. I think you can see that here:
This is a pop dance jazz number from a band I don't know. (They're playing a cover). But, notice how the girl sings with her heart and really feels the riff of the guitar player. The drummer is using electronic drum kit as this is not an auditorium performance, so makes sense. But I would like to see him play the acoustic one. The bass is awesome, too. Notice that he's playing it with the melody all through-out the song. All in all, everybody is enjoying playing it. The girl is attractive AF. The voices are harmonized well.

I'll check them out tonight. I'm not a huge Cardiacs fan, but got into them through Oceansize; their lead singer Mike Vennart is a huge fan. You can maybe here some of the influence in the second half of this song, starting around 5:02:
Cool, I like the use of the horns on the first track. I definitely hear the Cardiacs vibe. How are they connected to Cardiacs? Also, as someone who moves in and out of different music circles, you might be the first person I know who has even heard of Cardiacs.
Oceansize is one of my favorite bands. One of their best:
Yeah I think that's one of the things that really attracted me. They did a lot of stuff with bassoon as well. This was the first song of theirs that I heard, one of their best:
Quoting Noble Dust
The lead guy, Kavus Torabi, was in the Cardiacs in the early 2000s, and Tim Smith of the Cardiacs had produced some of his music in the 1990s I think.
Quoting Noble Dust
Cool. I especially like the tinkly bit in the middle, and generally the whole thing has a satisfying anthemic quality.
There seems to be an interesting niche of British music surrounding Cardiacs. Fascinating. I think I liked the first track you posted more, but this is interesting. Feels more proggy. Some Ian Anderson vibes or something.
If we're still trading tracks, this is the Oceansize magnus opus. The ending is profound.
Prog feels like my musical home. I don't know about Ian Anderson; what I hear is the influence of Henry Cow (now that's a weird rabbit hole for you if you don't know them; Fred Frith is one of my favourite musicians).
Quoting Noble Dust
For some reason I assumed they were American, but I see they're from Manchester, and they were starting up around the time I was living there. I'd never heard of them.
I quite like it and I recognize the artistry, but it does have that solemn, portentous 90s guitar rock sound that I'm not that into. Maybe it'll grow on me. I appreciate learning of their existence.
I know of Henry Cow, but haven't listened. Where should I start?
Yeah, Oceansize is a pretty niche cult band. I sort of grew up with the 90s guitar rock sound, so I don't mind it, but it's definitely dated. Which is a shame because Oceansize's musical ideas are pretty interesting, but it's definitely overshadowed by the dated sound. The kids tell me 90s grunge is coming back, though.
Not sure it matters with Henry Cow. Legend or Western Culture. But I’m a bit more familiar with solo Fred Frith. Gravity and Traffic Continues are very different but both fantastic.
Pleasant instrumental sound but I much prefer the invocations of Jean Michele Jarre, Mike Oldfield or even Vangelis!
I'll check it out.
What a delicious double-first for me. Thanks for finding and sharing :cool:
I love George Harrison but had no idea about this film-making collaboration. What a crew!
Apparently, the lyrics had a bit of a sting in them. Subtle.
In the 2011 documentary George Harrison: Living in the Material World, directed by Martin Scorsese, Gilliam recalled that late in the production of Time Bandits he came to see the song's lyrics as "notes" from Harrison on the things he liked and disliked about the film and on how Gilliam was "too arrogant and not listening!" Gilliam added: "And I thought it was the most brilliant, subtle, clever thing a man could ever do, to write a song. He's writing about things that he felt strongly about and yet he's too polite and decent and, I think, respectful of other artists, whatever form that takes, to interfere."
What is it about ELO? Even the mention makes me smile.
Perhaps it's Jeff Lynne.
Again, there's a George Harrison connection.
'The Traveling Wilburys (sometimes shortened to the Wilburys) were a British–American supergroup consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty. Originating from an idea discussed by Harrison and Lynne during the sessions for Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine...'
From Cloud Nine:
"This Is Love" is a song by English rock musician George Harrison that was released on his 1987 album Cloud Nine. Harrison co-wrote the song with Jeff Lynne, who also co-produced the track. In June 1988, it was issued as the third single from Cloud Nine, peaking at number 55 on the UK Singles Chart.

Very interesting, thanks, I didn't know any of that. I just discovered this song/artist the other day.
If he did (pre disagreement with Wagner about Christianity) it would be in this mode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag3rjWFhohM
Pretty sure he would have despised 20th century pop music.
Bryn Terfel :heart:
Back to Nietzsche. He admired Goethe's Faust, which bears comparison to Mozart's 'Don Giovanni'.
And so the return to Bryn. I think Nietzsche is a frustrated Donny G :monkey:
And here Bryn plays Don Giovanni, hiding behind the pillars from one of his many conquests.
The truth being revealed to her:
Alternatively, the message could have been:
But...I don't really understand the message :chin:
Do you think N would like this, or even sing along?!
'The Nietzsche Song'.
The message from Hicks I hear relates to how Nietzsche said that one has to be careful who one decides is an enemy because one elevates them by fighting them. So, by fighting Christianity he became stuck with it.
Hmm. Yes. I see your point.
Some don't see beyond the slogan: 'God is Dead'. A stuck refrain.
But he lifted up Christianity for inspection, highlighting and revealing its defects.
In a lyrical, creative way...as in TSZ...echoing his love for music and composition.
Thanks for sharing :sparkle:
Why don't they count?
I loved this- the voice and music, the changes... raw and cool emotions; dreamy and sexy :cool:

I think of them as sort of "nu metal" in the sense that they played with a lot of the shitty nu metal bands of the time; they were all playing the same circuits. But yeah, they're a diverse group. Out of that list I like "funk metal" the best. :lol:
"Post grunge" is another term for that scene, of which there are only two other bands I consider worth listening to; Tool and Rage Against the Machine.
:brow:
Cherry Waves is close to my favorite Deftones song, but I gotta disagree that all other nu metal bands suck, lol.
How can you like Rage, but not System of a Down? NIN and Ministry, but not Static-X? Explain yourself!
I forgot Nine Inch Nails; Trent is a genius. Those other bands are definitely a cut above the drivel, but do nothing for me...I get the appeal of System of a Down, but Serj annoys me. Don't know what to tell ya. If you have examples to sway me otherwise I'm all ears.
I just re-listened to Chop Suey. This songs blows.
First couple minutes good, but goes on too long and gets too religious at the end.
I agree, but wasn’t lumping them in with nu metal. I just find it confusing how you can like NIN/Ministry, but not Static-X, or how you can like Rage, but not System. Static-X is like Ministry 2.0, and System is pretty similar to Rage too.

'Our hearts are broken' or so we are told.
In the soap opera that is the UK, everything stops for tea, Tory leader contests, the Queen's death but Royal lineage goes on and on and...
We are in for at least 10 days of fully rehearsed, televised mourning and remembrance rituals.
I am no royalist but I admit to feeling sad and shedding a tear. BBC coverage has that effect.
I am not a fan of soap opera either but hey, let's be good neighbours for at least a day...a minute?

Gotta ask how old you are, I'm sorry. Just a litmus test.
Personally I consider curiosity to be a good thing, promoting neuroplasticity and what more, so I'll counter first as I'm equally curious. What sparked it, was it the average age of the songs or was it the frequency with which they are posted or do you use it somehow as an offset against my posting behaviour in general? Should I feel offended in any way or are you perhaps the Confucian proverbial teacher?
Just that Kate Bush has suddenly become big with gen Z after a song of hers was in Stranger Things.
I see. I was about 6 years old when her first album got published back in 1978. She has always intrigued me but I only started to appreciate her music during the early 90's. She has written many great songs but I consider "The man with the child in his eyes" to be her opus magnum as it is one of those rare songs I could never get enough of.

Still Crazy After All These Years, 1975
Paul Simon
Whoda thunkit, the song is very popular in Galway, Ireland. It's been recorded by a bunch of Irish performers. Here's a wonderful performance in, yes, Galway:
Nothing awkward about it, the man seems to be utterly enjoying the entire thing, as would I I guess, epic stuff.
The way he puts his hand in his pocket and then immediately takes it out and then strokes his chin. He's clearly uncomfortable. He's spent his whole life in a glass box (studio) and then is suddenly on stage in front of thousands of people. He looks like if my dad accidentally ended up on a stage in front of five thousand people. It's like a Steely Dan concert.
Or as I for that matter :sweat:
Self-awareness is hard to get rid off for some of us. I used to have some singing ambitions myself but I couldnt get past the stage-fright so I gave it up eventually. I still sing though but only when there isnt another soul in the vicinity.
p.s.
Your last post video isnt working.
Self-awareness is indeed strange. As a musician, I had stage fright for the piano, but never for anything else; singing in front of people gave me a rush, and still does, theoretically, but it's been pre-covid. Poor Hanz, on the other hand, looks like he's on stage for the first time. Anyway, we can let him be.
Hmm, and now?
Works.
Dig the Nick Drake by the way.
Discovered his music only a few years back. Despite the fact he only left a few albums and wasnt well known at the time of his death (1974) he left an impression for the ages.
For the 1,000th time, what the fuck do you mean by "agree?"? That's not how taste in music works. Everyone likes what they like, and whether or not our tastes aline isn't important; there's no "agreement" or "disagreement"; there's only taste.
I disagree.
Nah.
By the way, I found this a while back and thought someone like you might enjoy it. Basically a music theory deep dive into NIN and other 90’s alt bands. Mostly over my head, but still interesting.
I'm not a Modest Mouse fan; Can't stand dude's voice, but that was ok. I assume it's early period. I can see the appeal. But yeah I don't like this at all.
I want to watch the NIN deep dive, but 40 minutes is a commitment. I will watch soon. Edit: watched a few minutes, and it's great. A testament to Reznor's genius. Also, is she single...
I was a tad toasty last night, so I should clarify. There is of course agreement and disagreement of taste. My issue is that when you ask me if I "agree" with a song, that's a non sequitur. You need to clarify what the agreement or disagreement is about. Are you asking if I agree with you that it's a good song? Then say so. that said,
Agree????!!!!???!!???
I don’t think all of them are that long.

This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
I just think this is the thing to do
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet, you'll meet another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Take my handkerchief, wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, you'll find another guy
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's kiss and say goodbye, pretty baby
(I'm gonna miss you)
Please, don't you cry
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
Let's just kiss

[quote=Wikipedia]Cornelis Vreeswijk (8 August 1937 – 12 November 1987) was a Dutch-born Swedish singer-songwriter, poet and actor.
He emigrated to Sweden with his parents in 1949 at the age of twelve. He was educated as a social worker and hoped to become a journalist, but became increasingly involved in music, performing at events for students with idiosyncratic humor and social engagement. Cornelis Vreeswijk is considered one of the most influential and successful troubadours in Sweden. In 2010 a Swedish drama film, called "Cornelis", was made about his life. It was directed by Amir Chamdin.[/quote]

My left ear is currently fucked up as it is every so often, so I'm taking a break from listening to music until it heals, as I'll otherwise lose my mind if the stereo field is off. There are some names I know but don't know the tunes, but the only ones I know well from this list are Owen Pallett and Makaya McCraven. Pallett is nice; I remember years ago having my music compared to his, which at the time I didn't take as a strong compliment. Makaya on the other hand is it. So much tension, so many thoughtful grooves, such an unstructured approach to what I can only call post-jazz.

Thanks for sharing. My ears aren't so good that I can tell much of a difference between all the remixes.
But I enjoyed listening to your picks and the YouTube run-on to a song I hadn't heard before:
Interesting to read different interpretations:

Your 'gummies' - fruit gums? :chin:
The major difference that I call tell listening to the 2 disc CD edition (not streaming on Youtube) is the superior sound image, clarity and brightness of this modern stereo mix compared to the primitive, slapdaah, "panning" stereo of the mid '60s. I still prefer the mono mixes of all their albums up to and including the "White Album", as the band did too from what I understand. However, Abbey Road, their only fully 8-track album, was not mixed in mono.
Btw, the gummies are strawberry ("fields") and blueberry ("meanies") flavored, 65 mg each. :yum:
Oh, naughty sweet tooth :mask: I used to love wine gums to death :love:
Just wondering about your choice of vino.
Cairn O' Mhor produce strawberry and blueberry wine, sparkly and one called 'Gangs wi' Haggis' :party:

Thank you. It's healing more quickly than last time.

What say you
Yeah, Tomas is always impressive, as well as Meshuggah. Kinda apples and oranges to me though with Sepultura. To me you can feel their personal connection to the music. Almost like it’s spiritual, soulful. Meshuggah is strict precision and technique. More machine like. Both impressive, but for different reasons.
Oh for sure, I wasn't trying to compare the two. I guess I had in my mind that you've posted other metal; I could be remembering that wrong.

WHATEVER GETS YOU THRU THE NIGHT. (Ultimate Mix, 2020) - John Lennon (official music video HD)
The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love
Take care. Stay well @180 Proof :heart: :flower:
I love that. Believe it or not, I even bought the CD!
I was introduced to Coltrane during a module on 'How to Listen To Music'.
The best OU experience ever with exceptional student discussions sharing favourites and own music.
A real ear-opener I will never forget :sparkle:
I'd have to say that Chick Corea/Return to Forever first got me into the jazz vicinity (i.e. fusion), but it was Coltrane- and the track "Afro Blue" specifically (which I've probably listened to literally hundreds of times, and never get tired of)- that got me into jazz proper. Music just doesn't get any better than Johnny C.
(and if you enjoy My Favorite Things, you should also check out Blue Train and especially Giant Steps- two of my absolute favorite albums of all-time)
Oddly, for a long time the only fusion I really listened to was Weather Report. It’s only recently that I’ve begun to listen to Chick Corea/Return to Forever (which is even more weird because I went to see him in concert many years ago). I’ve been enjoying Romantic Warrior and The Leprechaun. The latter is total cheese but these days I can enjoy such things without shame.
Weather Report is great, too. Love me some Jaco Pastorius. But Stanley Clarke and Return to Forever are on another level (imo), and Romantic Warrior especially (that was the first RtF album I ever heard, and I was instantly hooked).
And yeah some of that 60-70s fusion/prog can get a little corny at times, but the musicianship is always legit :fire:
Giant Steps, 1960 (37:03)
John Coltrane & co.
The G.O.A.T. (seriously, it may be the best album ever). I had to re-burn myself a new copy just the other day because the one I had was so scratched and beaten up from use (I still live in the stone age and use CDs/CD players almost exclusively).
:clap: :100: Yep, can't shake my attachment to CDs & DVDs (the way I shook off vinyl and tape over thirty years ago).
I will say, though, that I enjoy the hell out of Spotify (which I use on my computer); being able to listen to pretty much any music you can think of without having to find and pay for particular CDs is pretty awesome (especially live albums or rare releases). I've discovered a lot of bands and musicians that I probably otherwise would never have heard of or had a chance to listen to.
And then when I find something I like, I'll often then go and buy the CD version. But there's no way I'm giving up on my CD collection, I've been curating that sucker for ~30 years at this point!
As to the Coltrane conversation re: @busycuttingcrap @Jamal @Amity @180 Proof, I'm partial to his last years. This track, Welcome, is to me his magnum opus. Devastatingly beautiful and life affirming. A true "tune" in the tune-iest sense.
Does this mean you agree or disagree? Your statement is quite obtuse... :chin:
Well, I would have to agree.
We're all in the same boat mate! The song is like a website - you havta know how to listen to it!
I am alone in my room studying law because I have an exam tomorrow. Vaporwave gives me a relax mood! I am in the perfect environment to listen it!
Lyrics are inspired and impose depressive, murky landscapes to convey weighty visuals and abstract mind states; words are delivered with intrepid surety.
Instrumentals are homogenous and dignified. An amalgamation of vintage, perhaps Medieval, sounds.
The album title is an Ancient European term for African people.
The album cover is a tinted portion of the painting Two Moors by Rembrandt.
"Asleep at the wheel
Gently over the guardrail, flipped heads or tails
One died, she survived
Asked why, replied, "God's not real"
Ducked the question
In a hospital room full of flowers, I plucked the best one
In a world full of cowards, it's bound to be tension"

I find Depeche Mode to be a wonderful band. The whole era of electric eighties, including some of the darker stuff is loved by many. I also like Marc Almond so much. However, I am not able to link to You Tube on my phone and spend so much time playing discs in full. I even like Duran Duran, who are often viewed as a boy band, but some of it like, 'Seven and the Ragged Tiger' album goes beyond pop.
Good to know. I never really listened to this or them before.
I just wanted a song that screamed out ''Wrong!''
I guess it comes from a place of anger...rather than sweetness and light :wink:
Depeche Mode are a great catharsis for anger and I recommend the album 'Violator'. For anger, especially about the state of the world, I recommend one of my favourite albums by 'Mindbomb' by The The.
My favorite cathartic angry music is probably Nine Inch Nails.
I do like the Nine Inch Nails, especially 'The Downward Spiral', and a lot of goth as catharsis, but mainly for melancholy moments. I really like the Jesus and Mary Chain's 'Darklands'. One band who I find invigorating are the Mission and I do like some punk for coping with anger. I do find some more recent stuff too, like 'Brutalism'

You seem to have a broad knowledge of British music. What do you think of 'Black Grape'?
I have heard a little of Black Grape and quite liked it, but not as much as Shaun Rider's Happy Mondays'. As far as knowing British music, I am in the process of moving and keep digging out music from so many obscure bands in England and some in America. I adore The Stone Roses, The Stranglers and The Psychedelic Furs, and some current ones. I even wonder if it such music captures insights which are beyond the scope of the logic of philosophy and my line-up for tonight includes The Charlatans, Caz Coombes of Supergrass, The Cure, The Fall and possibly The Artic Monkeys...
My favorite from that album is Guinnivere:
It still feels like travelling from one place to another.
Y'all know the story of Miles cover of that song? Supposedly Miles was driving around the Upper East Side and saw David walking down the street. He pulled over and was like "Come check out the version of your tune I recorded, dude". He brought David back to his place, played him the track, and David in no uncertain terms told him how much he hated it. Miles kicked him out.
Brilliant.
I had no idea this existed.
A parallel of the harmony and the pacing.
People I respect are Beck fans, but I never wrapped my head around his music. Thanks for this, I like it. Reminds me of Robin Trower.
Haha, funny to watch him in a more contemporary context. I think of him as a member of the short-lived Mahavishnu Orchestra.
In fact I'll raise you one Jan Hammer to one Richard Barbieri:
You nicked this musical raise thing off @unenlightened - are you all philosophers or goddamn poker players????????!!!!
No, no, I do proper thread theme tunes that relate to the topic, like this:-
Sometimes I take a left
When everything is right
And I can see the road
When I turn out the light
I sleep under the stars
And then it starts to rain
Take cover in a bar
And run into a friend (x4)
Till the sun comes out again
Fell asleep in LA
Woke up in Bangkok
Gave my soul to a babe
In a pawn shop
Oh my ee oh my home
Could be anywhere
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
Any road, any road, any road
Oh my ee oh my home
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
I may have roamed these streets
A hundred times before
And when I finally meet you
I'll roam a hundred more
And maybe we'll go north
And maybe we'll go south
Just to keep on rolling, rolling, rolling
Is what it's all about
Fell asleep in LA
Woke up in Bangkok
Gave my soul to a babe
In a pawn shop
Oh my ee oh my home
Could be anywhere
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
Any road, any road, any road
Oh my ee oh my home
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there
Oh the last thing I remember
Before she broke my heart
We were riding in a rickshaw
Down Sunset Boulevard
And I asked her where we're going
She said, "baby don't you care
Any road, any road will take you there"
Fell asleep in LA
Woke up in Bangkok
Gave my soul to a babe
In a pawn shop
Oh my ee oh my home
Could be anywhere
And any road, any road
Any road will take me there

Fascinating artist. I used to work at a music venue, and one night she performed a sold out show. Bjork was in the audience. After the show, I was heading downstairs to the office to get my stuff and leave for the night, and the two of them were ever so slowly walking down the stairs having a close, intimate conversation. I had no choice but to tippy toe out of ear shot behind them and try not to be noticed, until they made it to the green room.
I just occasionally hear bits and pieces of hers and haven’t taken a deep dive.
@Jamal agree?
Anyway — Her Tom Petty cover is great — though my wife, who’s a huge Petty fan, wasn't as enamored.
Your Mother Should Know (48:38), 2023
Brad Mehldau
Indeed. Evidence of their lasting influence can be found in bands like The 1975. There's some Michael Jackson in here too.
I'm medium on this band overall, but this lyric is one of my favorites in current music:
"The war has been incited
And guess what, you're all invited
And you're famous
Modernity has failed us."
Juju (42:07), 1965
Wayne Shorter - ts (d. 2023)

And the trio upped intensity at the 7 minute was great.
Wayne solos at 5:09 and it’s brilliant. A great man who enriched our lives, RIP.
But tonight I am partying…
I'll have to listen to more Wayne now. That was great.

No-Man, nice.
Exactly.
Profound heart pounding absurdity.
The AI selected a new one for me today so I share.
1969? Wow.
The trouble is, neither the original nor any covers I’ve found online come close. Still, it’s a very good song in itself, despite its cheesy eightiesness.
The only reason I like that song is because it was in Twin Peaks: The Return. It reminds me fondly of the fucked up time in my life when I was watching that fucked up show.
If you're a Lynch fan, I recommend.
Here's a band that gets a bad rap, if you ask me:
lol figured it out pretty quick
spookybands is my new favorite artist, folk and country but very sad.
@Jamal @Noble Dust @Jack Cummins agree?
