What are you listening to? The world really needs to know - III

Black Swan

Black Swan

Abord the Yorikke!
Just one of those moods.
Julie London
sway with me

sway with me, everything sad -
madmen in stone houses
without doors,
lepers streaming love and song
frogs trying to figure
the sky;
sway with me sad things -
fingers split on a forge
old age like breakfast shells
used books, used people,
used flowers, used love
I need you
I need you
I need you:
it has run away
like a horse or a dog,
dead or lost
or unforgiven. C.B.

catchy little pop song that's been playing on the radio here a lot lately.

it sounds like it could have been recorded in 1964, or '74, or '84....you get the idea. that doesn't make it good of course, but it's been stuck in my head. if I'm sick of it in a few days I'll know I was wrong. heh.

the rest of the album isn't that great. although there's one song that would have been pretty good if Dusty Springfield sang it.

the last song on the album is cringeworthy dreadful. a bad Richard Marx-style ballad from '86 that someone tried to make better by adding Stax horns to it. didn't work.

ah well.

but I still love Moneygrabber!

Ponder posted a track a few months ago of this band and I liked it and dug a bit further. Another track from the same album/cd I bought:

I like that la bottine souriante tune. They sound like a good kitchen band. Big kitchen I suppose but I started thinking of String Band and La Bolduc and other stuff. Settled on Stan Rogers. (Everyone seems to either be up late or up early. New Year. Up late.)

Caught a bit of this band on PBS last night. Cared nothing for their 80's output or beyond but this album from '78 is a real gem.

Beacons by Cloudkicker- ambient instrumental progressive metal
All albums by Amon Amarth- powerful Viking metal
The Red Album & The Blue Album by Baroness- the best band I've heard in years. So much more than a metal band.
All albums by Screaming Females- power pop, I suppose. Marissa is an incredible guitarist.
High on Fire- Straight up hard rockin' metal. If you like Motorhead...
Sabotage by Black Sabbath- obviously.
Meditations & Interstellar Space by John Coltrane- so good.
Free Jazz by Ornette Coleman- what took me so long to discover this?
Reign in Blood by Slayer- this was too heavy for me as a teenager, but I really love it now.
My War by Black Flag- some good stuff on this album.

I've also been exploring classical music lately on Pandora trying to figure out what I like.

I've had those ear worms over the years. Beats the hell out of a long stretch of just static (mostly at work, but it carried on home). Now that is the definition of insanity. A couple nights ago I was singing that Stan Rogers sea shanty from above. "God damn them all" is a cool lyric to repeat. One time I had the song below going through my head until it hurt.

About this time of year I really start to hate you people that live in year-round warmth. During the winter the radio stations around here rub it in by going heavy on the California sound. I suppose they think subconsciously you'll feel all warm and toasty inside by some aural osmosis. Bullshit! Love this song, though.

Please don't hate me but I can't help finding Alannah Myles rather hot in this one. Maybe it's the black leather.

I don't know what's wrong, but thank god after five minutes it's over and I'm back to avant-garde jazz symphonies and Edgar Varese.

Thank you.

the isolated drums from this is great as well if it's your fancy -

These isolated parts are really starting to crop up. It's amazing to me how crude some of them sound and yet the final mix is just spot on (or is it just what our ears are used to?).

What's cool about this is just how how country Townshend's playing could be.
