darkblue Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Robert Zimmerman, in his ballad 'Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues', sets the time and place to be " in Juarez - and it's Easter time too". In keeping with your Roxy Music contribution, Edith - here's Mr. Ferry again, doing it as only he does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Love it, great version. Bryan Ferry covered a few Dylan songs. Funny, you wouldn't immediately associate him with an affinity for Zimmerman's work. (He does "Hard Rain", for instance.) However, good though that was, now I want to go play "Highway 61 Revisited". All 9 tracks. Maybe I'll go put my hands in my back pockets, Bette Davis style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well, MultiEye, no one can say you're not eclectic in your tastes. Like a lot of us here, actually. Here's another (sort of) Easter-themed piece. It's Saeta, from Miles Davis and Gil Evans' "Sketches of Spain". If you want to know why it's "Easter-ish" you'll have to look it up. (By the way, I'm not particularly religious or "Christian" or anything. I just like to acknowledge special days, the time of year, etc. with music. Maybe I'll find some Passover music next...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for the "eclectic" compliment. I just searched a quick definition as I do with words unfamiliar to me & I thank you for that. As for your post I dig the Miles Davis, I'm a fan of his as well. I think his best not so popular works is the Bitches Brew album. He's done way better but this is a favorite of mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyABpbh_8iY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider B itch es Brew to be not only one of Miles Davis' best works, but one of the best works of its kind, ever. I suppose by "of its kind" I mean, music that is unique because it can't be categorized, that creates a kind of soundscape, that takes you into another world. This kind of music is fantastic; you can do nothing but listen intently to it, and hear a rich tapestry (sorry for the cliche) of instruments and sound, or you can have it on in the background and read to it. I remember I read "Paradise Lost" with B i t c h e s Brew playing in the background. It was the perfect musical accompaniment to the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a musician myself, I have a wide range of diverse taste, as it's only fair to see the whole picture & pick out what I like of a specific genre. As for creating new sounds with all the inspirations I have, I feel it's only right to not stay true to the norm. There's no right or wrong way to create music, if it's catchy & people can remember it, that's cool, but mix that usual pop way of writing songs & combine it with the sound of "**** Brew" or some grand orchestra, that's what it's all about when it comes to being creative. All the Miley whoever in the world are all about marketing schemes & it's sad the youth of today have been brainwashed into spending their hard earned money & time into this, but so be it cause nobody's the same & we all have different styles which makes us individuals. It's when one person or a group of people can change the world & relate to the music, like The Beatles, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Miles Davis & so on did. It's a great honor to have the recognition & a tremendous legacy, but it sucks when it's all a plan for money & sales & the creativity is lost. Here's some different stuff I dig in the world of great music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good stuff, db. I'll have to play it again (Tom,) and listen more carefully to the lyrics, which I get the feeling are an important part of the song. (Well, sometimes they're not. ) Apropos of nothing, I suddenly thought of this really good tv show from the late 70s, WKRP in Cincinnati. God, it was a funny show. And I always liked the theme song, 70s-smooth though it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The all-time mystery cancellation. A top 10 show when it was inexplicably cancelled at the end of season 4. I have a theory that someone became too demanding and p!ssed off the CBS brass - someone who's name rhymes with Ronny Sanderson perhaps, assuming superstar status for itself above all others. Just a theory. My Lord, but Jan Smithers was a major crush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yes, it seems as though a lot of guys preferred Bailey to the more obvious Jennifer. But they were both funny and likable. The whole damn show was hilarious. Really funny and clever. Hey, I'm definitely not saying I looked like this. But I was certainly more the Bailey type than the Jennifer type. And I did/do wear glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's a good Cure track, but it's their remix they did themselves of it & not some random person remixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkblue Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Great Beatle track, Charlotte! For some reason 'Magical Mystery Tour' seems to be one of their more under-appreciated albums - rarely do I see it mentioned as a favorite - but I love it. I actually prefer it to Pepper or White. Following on the heels of Rubber Soul and Revolver, it makes for a remarkable mid-decade trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I agree with Char and darkblue; Magical Mystery Tour is a wonderful and oddly over-looked Beatles record. I think it's because it wasn't released as an official album the way most of their recordings were. It's kind of a collection of songs they hadn't put on other albums. Maybe not, I admit I'm a little foggy on the details. But three of their most famous songs, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, and All You Need is Love, are on it, so it really is a mystery why it's not listed way up there with the others. I've been thinking about Ry Cooder and what a skilled guitarist he is. Speaking of over-looked music - only other guitarists seem to recognize his talent (but I'm not a guitarist...james??) He's especially adept at slide guitar, it's kind of a signature sound for him. So listen to "Memo from Turner", and you'll see (hear) what I mean. There was a video on youtube with the scene from the film ( Performance ) , but the music is kind of in the background, you can't make out Cooder's great slide playing very well. So I just picked this other one, with a bunch of stills from the movie, plus some of the Stones being decadent, etc. Anyway, "Memo From Turner" is a fantastic song, the highlight of that movie, as far as I'm concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
