March 11, 20224 yr More Blue Coast. As always prettied up, melancholy covers from a likely sparse basement just a little while ago.

March 13, 20224 yr I will listen to that one, Dusty. I find this one amazing: It's a pity this video is such poor quality
March 13, 20224 yr Awkward listening this morning. Continuing the choices by cover hit The Ultimate Gary Glitters. I knew Rock & Roll (Part 2), but little else on it (which is pretty bad). Have ton of holes in my musical history, but wondered why he had multiple greatest hits collections so jumped on Wikipedia. Man, that's a downfall and an awful lot of people hurt.
March 13, 20224 yr Yep. Gary Glitter follows Jimmy Savile in infamy. So many children hurt, and way too long for this to come to light.
March 13, 20224 yr He's currently serving a 16 year prison sentence in England, which may well be a life sentence.
March 13, 20224 yr The Wildest! (Expanded Edition) Louis Prima, Keely Smith, Sam Butera And The Witnesses 1957 Example: (I could pick so many)
March 14, 20224 yr Alexander Hawkins Ensemble - Step Wide, Step Deep Available at your music providers and Qobuz too https://open.qobuz.com/album/5028159000349 Kind of very free for my blood
March 15, 20224 yr So, I was watching an Ed Sheeran cover by Scary Pockets, and I thought to myself, what am I missing with Ed? I just don't get it for some reason. I have heard his music all around and many covers. So, I sat down and listened to and hour plus of his songs. They were recorded well, the melodies were nice, the lyrics were mostly sentimental but well crafted. But still nothing caught me, nothing to say, 'Ah, now I get it'. And in the end maybe that is it, it is nice, but not for me. 🤷♂️ etc... Edited March 15, 20224 yr by mikeymad
March 15, 20224 yr ^ maybe it's just that he's a Ginger? "‘People never knew what a ginger was in America,’ singer said" "Ed Sheeran says South Park joke about ginger hair ‘f***ing ruined’ his life" https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/ed-sheeran-south-park-b1985485.html
March 15, 20224 yr hmmm. But I like Bonnie Raitt, Tori Amos, Reba McEntire, Florence Welch. Oh wait - they are all female..... hmmmm Ah ... Trey Anastasio, I like him... Ha, I win! Wait ... what did I win?
March 15, 20224 yr Good example: Take an Ed song and turn it over to Pomplamoose, and they make an incredible musical number out of it. Anyway moving on: Blues-ette (Japanese Release) Curtis Fuller Quintet 1959 https://album.link/us/i/1433694962 Example:
March 16, 20224 yr Marais: Pour la Violle et le Théorbe Hille Perl 2004 https://album.link/us/i/1369347975 Example:

March 18, 20224 yr I can't think of anything else that so successfully escapes the "contempt of familiarity", or captures so successfully both the disenchantment and enchantment of an era.
March 18, 20224 yr Especially when you consider the crossroads they were at without Syd. An astonishing accomplishment. Edited March 18, 20224 yr by swt61
