Have been obsessed with this song, and some others from Pieces of a Man for a while. It’s so damn good.

Pieces of a Man is a terribly underrated record. Lady Day and John Coltrane is one of my favourite songs of all time. And I love GSH’s spoken word. He was the original rapperstuart-sutcliffe

This one’s better though:

Am: Chicago the Musical — New Broadway Cast of Chicago the Musical (1997)*

Next: Cabaret — New Broadway Cast of Cabaret (1995)

 

*Edit: I was looking at some of the lyrics for a track from Chicago on Apple Music and they must’ve gotten their Kander & Ebb musicals mixed up because Apple Music had the lyrics for “Willkommen” put for the track instead of the actual lyrics paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif

"....When I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind...." 

"....This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around...."

Been listening to various Philip Glass albums today, now I’m on Duke Ellington’s Far East Suite.

I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

I mean, I always liked them, especially “Cherry Bomb”, “Queens of Noise” and whatnot, but maybe I have more of a taste for unpretentious, sincere, seriously hard-rocking bubblegummy stuff these days. 

Right now, it’s some old-school “horror rap” that Jules or Quarryman might enjoy. (“Defective Trip” in partic)

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

I posted this to my friends’ discord saying “This exists and I’m not mad about it” and one friend said “It works” and I replied, “Indeed, oddly enough” and my wizard-friend responded with “Well, tis rather difficult for a work of both such compositional fortitude and cultural ensconsement as Yellow Submarine not to work” and I gotta say I concur fully a-hard-days-night-george-4

Sonic Youth in the late 80s/early 90s is easily as good as any band has been before or since, IMO. This track is heavenly.

David Gilmour – David Gilmour

Quite a nice little excursion, lots of tonally Floydesque fingerprints from the period but much more relaxed structurally à la Obscured By Clouds (apparently one of David’s few listened-to Floyd records, I read somewhere that he was known to direct it into the garden of a summer’s day) .
