Music Of The Moment



Something about these tunes haunt me...in a good way, not a terrifying way.

True. Good supporting cast. Walter Matthau, Dean Jagger, Vic Morrow,Carolyn Jones. Michael Curtiz directed, based on a Harold Robbins story, Hal Wallis produced. Full on real movie. Elvis' favourite role too
 
I stumbled into a bar Friday evening and somehow the bartender was OK with me doing the playlist for the place via YouTube around 11pm. I left the bar at 1am so for two hours I got to be the DJ. I started with Louis Armstrong and progressed into music of my youth.

Changed my form with the unit chaplain to include this in my funeral music if I get killed in action.

And BTW, if you've never heard final roll call, I dare you to not get chills.

 
For those Dream Theatre fans who have always wondered what LaBrie was singing here are some translations.



 
Morrison wrote the song about his Danish girlfriend, Ulla Munch, from Vanløse district in Copenhagen who lived on the fourth floor of an apartment building with no lift.
Clinton Heylin remarks..."he turned this mundane set of stairs in an uninspiringblock of flats into a 'Stairway that reaches up to the moon/And it comes right back....to you'.
Peter Mills, author of the Morrison biography Hymns to the Silence, refers to "Vanlose Stairway" as this "dark horse of a song".
The singer also includes the lines "Send me your Pillow" which referenced bluesman John Lee Hooker's influence on his music.
Georgie Fame - well dressed as always

I like this guy's sound. The lyrics leave a lot to be desired, especially the second song

It's his vibe I like. Local guy. Sounds like he is sort of channeling Johnny Cash from the Rick Rubin sessions. Turns out that he's Brock Lesnar's current fave. Now that Brock is an offical Saskatchewan resident. Steve Austin also digs him

a little too jingly jangly

True, but it reminds me of Johnny Horton and his storytelling songs especially "Sink the Bismark"

'Cause they want you to know that they work hard & play hard, dammit!

What, what? How can you say that? They are the 1/2 spawn of the breakup of of Uncle Tupelo. Creators of alt-country. They went their way and Wilco went theirs.

Less Pearl Jammy?



 
Damn, i haven't listened to these songs sing 1973 when they were on my K-Tel LP. Hard core country

Yeah, I definitely dug the sound. Lyrical ability is overrated IMO.

Those son-volt guys are fucking awful. I don't know who uncle tupelo are either, but I'm sure they're terrible too.

its official, i'm dead from listening to this.
 


A song I played when I was first courting the old lady. She worked the front desk of the hotel I would stay at. Later, when i became infatuated with her, she told me she was aware of who I would bring back to my hotel room. I found the lyrics of this song were very biographical with respect to her and her experience, coupled
With mine. As a bad bass player I was even a worse guitar player so it took me forever to learn learn the chords for the song.

I added "more than a feeling"
By Boston to my repertoire because MaryAnn was her name. Had to sing an octave lower to make it work.

Finally, to seal the deal, i would play her my version of Springsteen's Thunder Road as the lyrics focussed on a
Damaged woman:

"You can hide ‘neath your covers and study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now, I ain’t no hero, that’s understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey, what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back you"

Whatever. It worked. We have been at each other's throats for deades.

Brings to mind G'n'R "I used to Love her, but I had to kill her"

You fucking troglodyte - not knowing Uncle Tupelo should be a crime. After the breakup Jeff Tweedy created
Wilco & Jeff Ferrar created Son Volt. You Americans need to better understand your musical roots

As for the rest, goddamn boy, you have to have to understand American country and American western. Where the intesect and where they diverge. Don't make me crush you with more US top, top classic country. You know I will.

You have to realize that America musical cheese it not regular cheddar. It is 3 year old cheddar. It is Cambozola. A mixture of tasty & stinky.

I haz a sad that I can only discuss my collection of 78's with LelandJ

The rest of you fuckers wouldn't know a 78 if it bit you on the ass

Hey, don't lump the rest of us in with that philistine. I saw Uncle Tupelo live.
 
Wow, I'm learning a LOT on this YouTube adventure. Did you know Dobie Gray was a black guy?
