Digney in Burnaby

I was trying to find an early version of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat (Theme for Lester Young) but couldn't find the Mingus recording that I have from the early 1960s that I love so much (the bass just rumbles at the end). So how about, and I'm being serious here, a . Not bad at all. Simplicity and emotion always work.

Song 10?
 
Hey Digney in Burnaby: Goodbye Porkpie Hat originally appeared on Mingus' Ah Um from 1959 (if I recall the date correctly). As an upright player who spent 5-6 years playing jazz in the Boston scene, this album spoke to me like very few others. Mingus was much like Buk; very prolific, and controversial. Then again, the similarities end somewhere near there. Buk never screwed 17 (sic; may have been more) Mexican whores in the same evening and then had to jerk off to get through the night.

Well, at least to my knowledge. :D

Okay, I found the track I love. Guess it's actually a tuba rumbling with the bowed bass. Recorded September 20, 1963 according to the liner notes. I first got it on a cassette with no info and low fidelity. Just ate the whole series of songs up. Theme For Lester Young was/is outstanding.

Beneath The Underdog, yeah!

Hey, Lou Reed released a few good albums -Berlin comes to mind now- and the VU has quite a few great songs. I'll probably buy a ticket to see him this summer. He'll play in a beautiful spot 15 minutes away from my place to an audience of 1,000 or even less than that.

But MMM will seem a nice joke to you if you listen to Neil Young's Arc. That's what I call torture feedback noise. I've never been able to listen to the entire CD, and it's only 30 minutes long. And while MMM could be considered an experiment from the 70's, Arc was out of place as soon as it was released in 1991. Blame it on Sonic Youth ;)


Here's the info re. the upcoming Lou Reed show (it's in Catalan!):

I love SAHB.
Really? I thought you guys were just being pomo. ;) The Sensational Alex Harvey Band is one of those outfits that seemed to come through town playing support on one tour or another every year in those mid/late 70's arena rock days.

I saw them a couple of times, but they left me kind of cold. It seemed like Broadway show music, and I wanted to rock out, man! That, and the guitar player dressed like a puppet or a doll or whatever he was, creeped me out.
 
SAHB-70's for sure a little dated and more Spinal Tap than I care to admit but I think you can hear elements of AC/DC in there and I bet we all have albums and bands we liked then, that we woulld be reluctant to admit now -might be another new thread-worst album in your collection here's a bit of trivia-ZAL also played guitar for Nazareth-Love Hurts Sonofabith-and SAHB still tour even though Alex is dead-and there is a SAHB cover band too

Ah, that would be from the Impulse! issue of Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus. I suppose that one could argue that the title was really Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus, and the last Mingus was just who the album was done by, but I've said Mingus enough at this point. :D
 
One might question the legitimacy of calling it an autobiography, however. In more than a few cases, Mingus treats the truth like a wad of salt water taffy. But it is a great read. It reminds me a fair bit of Buk in many ways.

yeh, he IS great.
only, all the live appearences i've seen so far (on tv and video) were really lame. (and from his very many live albums i dislike half of them). still i would go there, if i had him play so close to me.

so, since you gave the 'Berlin'-album, here is:
16. LOU REED: 'The Bed'
