Re: What are you listening to right now?

^ I love The Who, Pete Townshend is my favorite pop composer. His angsty, working youth lyrics and his juxtaposition of hard rock and melodic, harmonic soft rock do it for me. Quadrophenia and Who's Next are masterpieces. Also, essentially playing rhythm guitar while Entwhistle played lead guitar on bass was bloody brilliant.

My favorite track from that album...

Great track.

Unfortunately I got "Video unavailable" with that link, this one works though;

Real drums would help this a lot.

Re: What are you listening to right now?

RIP Brian Wilson.

We've all heard the old Beach Boys classics, and there's certainly nothing wrong with them but I've always liked this, lesser known song;

Aren't You Glad (from "Wild Honey");

Yes.
A genius.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAmOI4GFnQ0

I've never heard that, but it's really nice.

OT but considering this is the official Beach Boys YT channel, that buzz that appears on the left channel is rather surprising.

Yes that's pretty good.
I'm tempted to say... monumental.

I can still hear the much-hated Bee Gees kick drum ("you should be dancing") but it's not too high in the mix this time.

EDIT: (3 hours later) it's really good!

RadioTray-NG

Don't worry, I didn't suddenly become a big fan of classical music, but I remembered to try out my radiotray  script with that genre for the first time.
I was surprised myself. 

Classic FM Radio

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart  -  Rondo for Violin and Orchestra in Bb K.269
Ralph Vaughan Williams  -  49th Parallel
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Mitsuko Uchida  -  Piano Concerto No.23 in A major (3)

Agreed! Listening now outside on headphones while watching the sunset. The mix is great, you don't get any really heavy bass drum thump until 20 minutes in, and even then it comes and goes pretty quickly.

Lol @ "much-hated Bee Gees kick drum". Later known in Euro-Disco, with the high hat off-beat, as *BOOT-tss BOOT-tss BOOT-tss BOOT-tss*.

Not to be confused with bassist Bootsy Collins, who is another beast entirely.

Nice, high hat off-beat starts at about 52 minutes, but the bass drum isn't the standard *thump thump thump thump*. Nice flow.

I will continue my search for the roots of the blues and forgotten artists.
After that I'll see what happens next.

Classical music?

Maybe, there is a possibility.
Bookmakers would describe it as 50% for YES and 100% for NO. 

Just kidding, I really enjoyed listening to this today.
It was relaxing.
When I have time, I'll dive a little deeper.

Re: What are you listening to right now?

^^ I needed a break from this club. Turn that jungle music down, just until we're out of town.

A different club... Bootsy Collins - What's Bootsy Doin'? (1988)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0end00L … NalAZbjVDE

Bootzilla destroys Tokyo, Toho Studios in ruins!!!

80s gated-reverb snare FTW. Vocoder, envelope filtered bass, probably some Yamaha DX7s, the works. Is that Kim Fields, 'Tootie' from 'The Facts of Life', in Bootsy's lap at the end of the video? Shake that floppy disc.

Yes yes! YES!! That, exactly!
If it hadn't been for the Bee Gees and Olivia Newton-John I might have got into a whole stream of music that I have ignored over the years. Sorry Gutterslob.

Re: What are you listening to right now?

^ Let's not forget Rod Stewart (Do You Think I'm Sexy) and especially The Rolling Stones (Miss You and Emotional Rescue) for perpetuating this musical abomination. Disco doesn't suck, but that "BOOT-tss" thing does.

BOOT-tss done with style, Donna Summer - I Feel Love (1977), one of the first main-stream electronica (disco) songs, featuring the Moog synthesizer...

Re: What are you listening to right now?

Lol, core memory. Classical chamber music camp in southern Vermont (String quartets, piano trios, that sort of shit). I'm 16 and hanging out with college kids and smoking pot for one of the first times, 1981. Cellist Dave Runion, a huge Stones fan, had special ordered the new Stones album to be delivered to the Putney School where we were staying, and had brought a stereo and turntable to the camp (CDs didn't exist yet). This track comes on...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDiYf5FZybg

He literally took the vinyl off the turntable and thumb-tacked it to the wall of his cabin, never to be heard again that summer.

Perfect, 'Miss You' is the next track in that playlist on my end.

Dave crushed the final movement (basically a cello solo) of Messiaen's 'Quartet for the End of Time' in the last concert of that summer (dammit, can't find a recording where the piano isn't too loud. Tashi has a good one.

(Not Dave.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtYn_Ddrzao

Huh, I guess they played it out of order, because I'm sure V was the final movement that night.

Tashi, here it is...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hC6aFF9CwBY

Piano is still too loud, if you ask me. I don't have a score to check, but I think the piano is supposed to sound like it's in the distance. And if not, that's how I'd interpret it.

Yeah, no. This is the type of music that made me quit being a classical violinist/violist.

And fuck The Nutcracker. Consider my nuts cracked. Screw you, Pyotr, you couldn't write inner voices for crap. You were no Mozart.

I don't know if they're actually on the track, but guitarist Buckethead is in the video, fo' sho'. And maybe bassist Marcus Miller, I can't tell if it's him or not.

It is according to the credits. Also Victor Wooten (another bassist) and Dennis Chambers (drums). And Dave Stewart on synths and guitars, I think. Isn't he one-half founding member of Eurythmics? He is.

All Time Album of the Year #1 Funkateer.

And my favorite Bootsy bassline, the chorus (and the whole track) from George Clinton's 'Some Of My Best Jokes Are Friends', ft. Thomas Dolby (1985)...
