Well, damn. I checked, and I don't have any Joe Williams. That was good.
The ones that bug the lady are Catfish Keith, Sleepy John Estes, Skip James.
In the nineties, the video store I used to go to would always play some album with an annoying singer. I thought it was songs from a 60's western that they played for camp value. I just found out that it was cult favorite Scott Walker. Cult favorite Scott Walker, you suck.
I will admit that the Scott Walker documentary 30 Century Man is terrible.
Walker Bros had some great 60s pop songs.
But I'm with lemmy about Scott.
Incidentally, after that jazz blog, I think I'm all freaked about improvisation. Just heard a version of "Scarborough Fair" by Barry Dransfield with different verses and melody and right now I am wondering if Slick improvised the lyrics to "Bear Melt" on the spot.
I guess interpretation isn't improvisation though.
this is good too imo
i like many of his songs, the sea, 20 yrs afterwards and this one are my faves
what i thought about American songs, the most important thing in them is the musical expressions, sound, rhythm, improvisation too, the lyrics are mostly like pretty simple
in Russian or our songs for example the lyrics are the most important thing, then the melody perhaps,
some country music songs' lyrics sound pretty alike, but the general attitude is kinda like not very serious, even like comical, so very different
my people went to the times square, in this cold! it's quiet and windy here
i burnt something cooking the celebratory meal, it smells terrible now, hope the smell will dissipate somehow until they are back
i write something whatever and sometimes think that it'd would be kinda very convenient if it disappears like ToS' comments after sometime, especially if there are mistakes
10:Damn, is it New Year's Eve? Busy day, and very old I guess, but I hadn't realized.
"Keith Jarrett returned to improvised music, after a phase of playing entirely Western Classical music, on hearing a concert of Indian Classical music which he claims was "a reminder that what I was doing was not music" (in Carr 1991:157)."
I just remember one of the reasons I stopped listening to jazz.
Theme - Solo - Theme - Solo - Theme - Solo - Theme starts to bug me after a while.
I don't like Scott Walker. But I quite like Scott Miller of Game Theory and The Loud Family.
For a totally different take on the Blues, a couple of months ago I went to a CD release party for John Miller's new album -- his first county blues album in 30 years. I highly recommend it, if you you're interested in that.
It's been even longer since he released any township or borough blues.
10: Where are you, Charley? You're already in 2009? Happy New Year to you!
12 - c'mon, now. It's Theme - Solo - Solo - Solo - Solo - Theme. Who'd want to waste valuable solo time playing the melody over again?
Is this the default NYE thread? Home with the family - just polished off some oysters and shrimp cocktail. Happy New Year, y'all.
18: Charley jumped ahead to fight the evil robots. They're relatively simple evil robots--I think someone tapes a chef's knife to a Roomba.
Hooray, Di! I am drinking the various champagne presents I was given over the holiday.
Oh sure. *I* get deleted, but ToS stays? Nice blogmasters.
I also discovered that the little gadget thing that you use to re-seal champagne apparently moved out last year. So it's like whatever I don't drink tonight will just go to waste...
Happy New Year (in ten minutes or so), all. Make the most of that leap second!
I predict the first comment of 2009 will be in the wrong thread.
I predict the first comment of 2009 will be determined based on the wrong time zone.
the wrong time zone
I predict inappropriately normative clauses will close out 2008.
Apparently the recognition and the money are not enough any more. Winning the Nobel Peace Prize now includes as a reward being kissed by Scarlett Johansen on worldwide TV.
30: Surely our collective influence can net Emerson a Nobel Peace Prize and the accompanying reward.
The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize goes to John Emerson "for his important efforts, in many Minnesota bars and over more than three decades, to elucidate the threat to world peace posed by relationships."
See Otto, every timezone is its own special snowflake.
Wow, but NYE television is grim, in a late-nite infomerical sort of way.
Dick Clark is still rockin' the eve (!? I guess I didn't realize he was still around). The Clintons were at Times Square with Mayor Bloomberg to push the button that drops the crystal ball (which I thought was a bit tacky of them, but eh, what do I know?). And Robbie Knievel (daredevil son of his legendary daredevil father) jumped over a fake volcano in Vegas, after an extended lead-up with commentators all but openly calling for his imminent (any moment now, and hopefully after the commercial break) demise: "We can't OVERESTIMATE the DANGERS of this stunt. This could TRULY be a DATE with DEATH" (hey, "bones heal, chicks love scars", you know?).
I dunno. Maybe next year Mr MC and I should spring for a babysitter?
Am I the only one here who remembers Ten Years After (?) doing "Baby Please Don't Go" at Woodstock? (I mean on the film, not in person - I wasn't *that* into the scene Back In The Day) Not so much white guys "stealing" black music as doing something very different, but (IMHO) equally compelling with it.
36:I know of many versions, there are 468 listed in allmusic.
For those into that kind of psychblues Van Morrison's with Them was good, for example. Like House of the Rising Sun, it was a standard for psych. Oxford Circle, Raik''s Progress, Beacon Street Union did versions.
I couldn't find a YouTube link but the reinterpretation considered a milestone in psych was in 1967 by the Amboy Dukes. Honored in the Nuggets compilation and collected elsewhere.
18 -- Bei der schwiegereltern. My brother in law made a 5 course dinner, and served 4 white and 3 red wines (including a 96 Pauillac and a 94 Pomerol). Then we shot fireworks along with half the village.
There are a long list of reasons we don't live here, but they sure know how to do NYE.
It is so cold here, like Minnesota cold. 10 degrees and 20 below with windchill.
I wouldn't go out at all except for the fact that I have to go pick up a prescription. I do not relish waiting for that bus or walking the 8 minutes to the stop.
read, we love you, and if you're ever overly-worried about your writing errors, ask us for suggestions.
Read welcome and even solicits writing and grammar suggestions, but we're too polite here.
Gonerill has instructed me not to be a weather chauvinist, but yesterday I waited for it to warm up to -4 before going out.
thanks, BG, i love unfogged too :)
and i totally solicit any grammar suggestions
that wish for disappearing comments was not about grammar though, i mean, like, mostly,
just to leave one's trace, good or bad, like, forever in the internets is kinda disturbing i thought then
read, your adoption of "like," which I think is relatively recent, is both grammatically perfect and stylistically quite nice.
grammatically perfect and stylistically quite nice
i read 43 with some suspicion coz i thought the use of like was somewhat like deprecated around here and even read it was included by ogged into his list of the untouchables something, iirc
and i use the word to say things which i don't mean exactly but which are pretty close in meaning, coz i don't know its substitute synonyms, most probably
so it's not for the style, i mean, but if it sounds informal, then it's okay, coz i intend all my comments informal or humorously
read, I'll only say this once, because if it's a stylistic choice you've made deliberately, then it's your call to make: you could improve the readability of your comments immensely in my opinion if you used capital letters at the beginning of sentences and for proper names and used proper punctuation at the end of sentences.
Your call, and I love having you around even without the caps and periods.
Hpy nw yr. ll m cmmnts wll b dsmvlwd ths yr.
sure, i use the caps and punctuation in my formal correspondence
informally, it's just for the errors concealment purposes, so probably i won't change that, not until when i'd feel that there are no any mistakes like for sure
Hpy nw yr. ll m cmmnts wll b dsmvlwdskipped over ths yr.
Don't listen to Chopper. I love the non-capitals.
See, the Asian Mind does not understand capitals.
If you look at Germany you can see the harm that capitalization can do. (Which would be: "If you look at Germany, you can see the Harm that Capitalization can do".)
caps and punctuation are merely prototype smileys
their use is accordingly deprecated
43 - no sarcasm at all, I like the way it scans and it's a fun touch of colloquial English in the middle of your otherwise somewhat formal diction. Also conveys the quality of uncertainty you're aiming for.
I also like when David Foster Wallace used to start sentences with, "And but so the point is...", as I hear myself say such things when animated. These are nice touches, in my opinion. And Ogg*d's idea of house style is, itself, deprecated. Ben's, of course, canonized. And then there's what I've come to know as Becks-style, which comes recommended by all the best.
When I of Germany this Evening think, I CharleyCarp's Wife or at least her Relatives want .
Surely "When I of Germany this Evening think, want I CharleyCarp's Wife or at least her Relatives".
