In honor of Marlene D...

 

 

[C.Bogle]

Or a blue's based trio, something along those lines. They broke up just about the

time heavy metal became a popular term I believe. Then along came Led Zeppelin,

Deep Purple and others. Eric did change his hair style quite often. There is a funny

video of them with Eric's Afro and he looks quite cheeky too, Lord Clapton of Afro

upon the Scalp.

[C.Bogle]

That's a pretty good knock off of Marlene's voice and tone. I have a CD of Marlene's

greatest hits somewhere, including See What the Boys in the Backroom Will Have.

I couldn't place that Beatles' song immediately, but it's from the US album The Beatles'

Second Album, damn how did they come up with these clever titles. I haven't listened

to that one in years.

[C.Bogle]

From the outer reaches of the Funkosphere, aboard the mighty Mothership, on a mission

to eradicate the musical blahs, and to spread the word that Funk is its own reward, Parliament

with Flashlight, back in the days when George had monochrome hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[misswonderly3]

Funk-a DELL-ic ! Parliament really knew how to legislate. I have some concerns about that flashlight, though.

 

Here's an even earlier trip down funkery lane, Sly and the Family Stone, getting down to some serious grooves on the Andy Williams show. Andy Williams + Sly Stone...now that's funny.

by the way, tracey, I'd never heard that version of "I Call Your Name". I never even knew the Mamas and the Papas covered it. They got kind of a country thing going with it, didn't they?

[C.Bogle]

Yes, the flashlight could be...symbolic...of the spiritual light that shines through the

worldly darkness. And Sir Nose, looks like something out of A Clockwork Orange.

Andy Williams and Sly, perhaps even stranger than that Bing Crosby David Bowie duet

on The Little Drummer Boy. It's hip on the Mothership.

Over in Jake's thread there's a clip of the late Ronnie Dawson. One of my listening pleasures is the Rhino CD set - Hot Rods And Custom Classics - which features Ronnie's only 'Hit' the great (rockabilly/doowop?) 'Action Packed'. The rest of this CD set Features great American 'Car' songs from the 1940's to the 1980's. There's really not a bad track in this whole collection.

 

A few selections from the CD.

 

*Phranc - '64 Ford*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8TnGx0BK94

 

*Chuck Berry - No Money Down*

 

 

This is not the version from the CD but Suzy has nicer legs than John Hyatt so I'm posting this version.

*Suzy Bogguss - Drive South*

 

 

*Canned Heat - On The Road Again*

 

 

If you love your car and you have a few bobs to spare, you owe it to yourself to get this CD set.

 

Best wishes

Metairie road

[C.Bogle]

I'm not too familiar with Ronnie Dawson, but I am with Canned Heat. Sometimes it's

not the spare change, but the spare time that's the problem. So much to listen to,

not enough time.

[C.Bogle]

Hawkwind in the early 1970s had a space rock vibe going. Forty years later,

they're still around! There are enough ex-Hawkwind members to form a

small English village. Hawkwind playing Master of the Universe. Wow,

look at all the far out colors, man.

Tom T. Hall, in simple praise of a tall cool one, I Like Beer.

As who doesn't. Especially on a 35 degree August day ( about 80 degrees for you folks).

 

Here is a very beautiful simple little song, written by Gillian Welsh, this version performed by Emmy Lou Harris, "Orphan Girl":

[C.Bogle]

I wouldn't mind an ice cold White Russian either. Nice selection. I haven't played

that CD in a while. I saw Emmy Lou in a small venue about a dozen years ago.

Lovely voice.

Something like that. They covered a few others songs too. John Phillips was, among other things, a genius at choral arrangement:

 

Their take on "My Girl"

 

 

[C.Bogle]

A one album wonder, but quite an album. 4 Non Blondes with What's Up.

[misswonderly3]

Interesting pics of the M and the P's , tracey. My Girl , probably because it's such a pretty song, has been covered by many different artists (even the Stones had a go at it).

[misswonderly3]

The Non Blonde who's singing looks a bit like Ann Hathaway (well, come on, a bit ). Fun video. I like the big hat.

 

Remember the Seinfeld episode in which Kramer and George are talking about what it is to "yearn" ?

Seems to me that Morrissey's all about yearning in this song, "Never Played Symphonies" :

Time is catching up even with the Moz. He's been yearning for a quarter of

a century now, no small accomplishment. Perhaps he would not subscribe

to Oscar's saying that the only thing worse than not getting what you want

is getting what you want. Heaven knows he's yearning now.

 

How come George and Jerry always decide to follow their yearning when they're

standing on a pier/boardwalk? Maybe it's the sea air.

[C.Bogle]

New Order playing Age of Consent. My, look at all the purty flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[misswonderly3]

That's a purdy good song. I don't mind one image on the screen if the music playing is good; anyway, that's when I catch up on Finnegan's Wake. Always keep it handy for these moments.

 

However, you'll have a lot to look at with this one. Frank Zappa live, and shirtless to boot. Bill Holden's got nothin' on Frank. (or maybe that's the other way around.

I like this version because they do a lot of the background melody with voices instead of instruments. It's different and well-done, I think.

[C.Bogle]

Frank's not looking too bad for a regular guy. I guess that no drugs policy

worked out, that and the weasels ripped my flesh exercise regime. I keep

meaning to post a Mothers' video, but I always forget. Have to look for a

good one on YT.

 

I thought it was Finnegans Wake.

[misswonderly3]

tracey, I went back and listened again to the M and P's My Girl, this time paying more attention to the music than the visuals. Your'e right, they use vocal arrangements like instruments. I guess that was one of their specialties.

[misswonderly3]

The apostrophe after Finnegan was deliberate. That James Joyce needed someone to look after his punctuation. My plan is to re-edit Finnegans ( ' ) Wake from start to finish, adding the necessary punctuation marks where Joyce forgot them. Although I have been advised I should start with Ulysses and work my way up to Finnegans Wake . Coincidentally, Frank Zappa did a song called "Apostrophe". I must have been thinking about that when I wrote that post.

 

How come Dylan never appears in any of these music threads? Is he one of those "love him or hate him, and I hate him" artists? I say, Dylan forever. With or without punctuation. This is a great song that nobody seems to know about. If you don't like the lyrics you can just sing Phil Spectre's "And Then He Kissed Me" along with it:

 

 

[C.Bogle]

That will be a time consuming task. Maybe it wasn't purposeful art or lack of

grammatical knowledge, but poor eyesight that led to Joyce's unconventional

punctuation. This is a step forward. Now even the non-professors can be kept

busy for decades. I'll start and stop here. Riverrun,

 

I like Dylan, and may post a video, I'm sure there are quite a few good ones.

But not this one. When I clicked it on I got the old corporate message: This

video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment. It is no longer available

in your country. Oops. I've meant to post Van Morrison, but he is, or at least

used to be, very stingy with what is on YT. Maybe that's changed.
