What are you listening to? Part II (The Revengening)

Sing us a song, you're the piano man.

The brass didn't like the panning shot that went all the way around to the "train tracks" with film crew and equipment.  Can't break the 4th wall.  But Billy Corgan kept it in because he loved it and his music video so it can be whatever he wants it to be.

I think it's kinda funny how he sings some of the song in the music video and other times, he's as unmoving as stone lol.  And I have no idea what's up with those two other band members in most of the shots, but they seem to be loving their time on camera.  A simpler time when things were a lot more fluid and improvisational and people were not afraid to be silly sometimes.

Best-looking "Fester" ever. Pumpkins are always a favorite of mine. I'm a notorious song looper, so Billy's nasal-voice can grate on you after a while. Same with Getty of Rush.

So my brother showed me this podcast where one of the hosts tries to help a guy find a song he remember from the late 90's/early 2000's that he just can't seem to confirm had ever existed. Weird story. He winds up getting some musicians and attempting to re-create it based totally on this guy's memory.

There was a song I was trying to remember several months ago, but all I could recall of the lyrics were 6 words: "you can feel it all over."
So I googled those words and found the song. It was Sir Duke, by Stevie Wonder.
I don't know why in the guy in the podcast couldn't do the same thing.

I don't know why in the guy in the podcast couldn't do the same thing.

Because the song was obscure. It was briefly test marketed and then disappeared. No one who had access to it thought to put it on the internet. There was literally nothing.

Billy Corgan looks like my boss.

I need to drink more.

This is an official, low-fi stream of The Amazing Digital Circus song remixes. It's for a stream for Doctors Without Borders.

RIP Ozzy

RIP Chuck Mangione.

RIP Chuck Mangione.

The music consuming public actually enjoyed instrumentals enough, so they made the pop charts. I really liked stuff like this and the Theme from The Exorcist, Pick Up The Pieces, Switched On To Bach. There was a bunch of it. Mall and market-born Muzak ruined instrumentals like the Theme from a Summer Place for me in some attempt to get you to shop longer and harder. Fucking elevator Beatles music.

The funniest/most clever music video I ever saw. Put the closed captioning on to see how deep this guy is as he drives the grandmas crazy. I swear he deserves an Oscar for those facial expressions.

Well, that fun! 😸

I scored big this weekend in the music world. My brother-in-law picked up several crates of albums from his uncle. I got 67 of them dating from 59 through 88. Most from the 60s and 70s. Most of the vinyl is in amazing shape considering their age. Some of the more interesting ones include:

Leon Russell & Marc Benno – Look Inside the Asylum Choir
Johnny Rivers – Realization
Nazz – Nazz Nazz
Canned Heat & John Lee Hooker – Hooker 'n Heat
Otis Redding – The History of Otis Redding
The Byrds – Sweetheart of the Rodeo
The Rolling Stones – Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2) with the octagonal die-cut jacket
Big Brother and the Holding Company – Cheap Thrills with R. Crumb Cover Art

I haven't listened to any of the vinyl yet because they all need to be washed beofre I put them on my turntable. I have been listening to some of the songs via other sources though. Like Johnny Winter's live take of It's My Own Fault recorded at Filmoure East in 1970.

Nice vinyl score. Leon Russell did a lot of small shows for a guy with such an enormous industry presence. I saw his name up on a highway A1A sign and ended up catching him play a tiny beach bar back in 2005. I was about 15 feet away from the guy with a cool top hat. The music was effortless for him; his voice just cuts through everything like a laser beam.
