Tune of the Day
Ass Ponys - "Live Until I Die" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XN5Mtyj6NA Not my favorite song from their most excellent 1994 album - "electric rock music", but some of my favorite songs may be offensive to some people. So I chose this one which should not offend anyone..... |
Harry Nilsson - "Jump into the Fire" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfjNpgZ4C5Q Happy Star Wars Day! May the Forth be with you........ |
@slaw, Yes! "SIC", a fantastic song written by Buddy, his wife Julie (a unique, adorable singer with a few of her own albums, as well as a couple with Buddy), and Jim Lauderdale, another great singer/songwriter. If you haven't heard it yet, Buddy does "That's How I Got To Memphis"---a great song written by Tom T. Hall---on his Your Love And Other Lies album. A fantastic version! I sometimes put the song on repeat, listening to it a dozen times in a row. |
back to Brubeck........a couple years ago or so as I discovered the many wonders of music on youtube I came across a video of Dave Brubeck and band at Newport .....I think it was 1971,Dave was wearing quite a funky outfit of plaid pants ......and the video was over an hour solid and though I was somewhat familiar with his music this was my most deep immersion in it and I watched/listened to this over and over enchanted . I don't think this particular video is still circulating,at least I can't find it intact as it was. Jerry Mulligan,Paul Desmond .....wow and a reminder to myself that emotion and beauty can be transmitted musically even through meager means. I've had many a youtube musical moment,but I'd say this Dave Brubeck,and around the same time chronologically,discovering Chopin's nocturnes,after seeing the movie The Pianist , have been two of the most profound recorded musical experiences I've had . |
@slaw - What band if any, has ever covered Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive"?I can't answer that one. We'll not without Googling it! However, I do know an EXCELLENT cover of STP's - "Interstate Love Song" Steve Ferrone's Farm Fur from the album - More Head - "Interstate Love Song" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWE5QZT3k3Q And if you like that, check out "Steve's Strutt" from the same album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLHJhPOnrDw |
The bar started off pretty darn high. I’ll have to think about it a while.... It’s a great exercise in music knowledge/discovery though....? Actually, I had a music question ready to go, so here it is... What band if any, has ever covered Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive"? I do realize this can be looked up on Google. I'm relying on the good faith system. Cheers! |
A great track, Seems Like A Lifetime Ago (Part 1) from a great album: Bill Bruford's Earthworks "Random Acts of Happiness" (live) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSxBqhF-iFs |
