Augsburger Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) http://youtu.be/KjMDESjuYEE Much like some of my favorite Hubert Laws stuff. What really makes this song is Cornell Dupree's guitar, often overlooked but Cornell is excellent and not given nearly enough attention that he deserves. And now this http://youtu.be/0Rr_6VNF2To juxtaposed with this http://youtu.be/bn5TNqjuHiU . Not what I remember of Janis in the olden days but cool nonetheless.

Dusty Chalk Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 <3 Groove Metal, old-school or otherwise. But that's not what I'm listening to: listening to Gazpacho's Demon again. Sounds really good on non-crap speakers (finally set up the computer monitoring system again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Speaking of old school. "If it was never new, and it never gets old, it’s a folk song." Edited April 21, 2014 by blessingx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) Randy Newman in glorious mono (and a pretty ugly cover) #2 on Second Discs Must Have RSD Releases Prior to the release of 1968’s self-titled debut, Randy Newman was a staff songwriter for Los Angeles’ Metric Music, a West Coast answer to the Brill Building where he worked alongside the likes of Jackie DeShannon honing his skills. The back of the LP, now being reissued for RSD in its original mono edition, read: “Randy Newman creates something new under the sun!” And while intended ironically (irony being one of Newman’s favorite weapons, always at the ready!), it wasn’t far from the truth. Produced by his childhood friend Lenny Waronker and quirky wunderkind Van Dyke Parks, Randy Newman featured some scathing social commentary sheathed in large, gorgeous orchestrations by the composer himself. Even this early on, it was evident that Randy learned something from his uncles, Lionel and Alfred Newman, two of the most illustrious composers in Hollywood history. The young Newman was the rare talent equally gifted in both melody and lyrics. “Davy the Fat Boy” and “So Long, Dad” are uncomfortably hysterical, while “Love Story” plainly tells the story of a couple from marriage to death, playing checkers all day in a Florida nursing home. Newman’s unique humor was already in full bloom, to wit this exchange from “Love Story”: “We’ll have a kid/Or maybe we’ll rent one, He’s got to be straight/We don’t want a bent one.” All of these songs were delivered in his off-hand, growl of a drawl, providing a contrast to the beautiful arrangements. When Randy Newman turned serious, the results were heartbreaking and simple (though far from simplistic): “Living Without You” or the oft-covered “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today,” which managed to be both cynical and achingly sad. A major new talent had arrived. Edited April 22, 2014 by blessingx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Every now and then, NPR's "first listen" albums really are worth listening to. This one, so far, seems to be of that variety (about 12 minutes into it and still a big pile of chilled out goodness).http://www.npr.org/2014/04/20/303388443/first-listen-rodrigo-y-gabriela-9-dead-alive?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20140421 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
