good music on youtube - Page 124

During the composition of my post in the concerts thread, I was serendipitously led to this track (thank you youtube autoplay) with: John Lee Hooker, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, Carlos Santana, Charlie Musselwhite and others I can't identify.

Wow, what a constellation of talent.

Air - Mike Mills (2004)

The song has three sections. The 4/4 first section has a very plain synth sound playing a wandering theme of 16th notes, over acoustic guitar, very reminiscent of Bach or it may even be a borrowed Bach theme.

This is pleasant enough, but it's rudely interrupted by a piano: also playing 16th notes, but over a 9/8 time, in an insistent repeating pattern. The 9/8 confuses us, and we struggle to resolve what has happened, partly because some of the underlying percussive sounds haven't changed since the opening. Are we stuck here?

As suddenly as the piano arrived, it leaves; now the song returns to 4/4 in recovery, and the original acoustic guitar background is back. Everything is calm now.

Strings enter, filling out the sound. They take time to tentatively graduate to 16th notes, but when they finally do, they are playing the original wandering theme.

It's the payoff. Everything has led to this. The plain vanilla analog synth that established the theme has been replaced by organic, human orchestration, and it's remarkable and beautiful.

This song is a beautiful morning, interrupted by a rude thunderstorm, returning slowly to beams of sun until the full glory of the day is with us.

This song has made me cry.

OK now that I've ended the thread.

I did enjoy this 1979 20/20 segment on this "New Wave" music. I was 17 when this aired and it does define my generation a li'l bit. Early X. For those of you born 1961-1967, enjoy?

Like all generations, it is funny to see the previous generation reporting on our trend. Kids these days! I remember a lot of hilarity poked at GI and Silent generation reporting on Baby Boomer phenomena.

part 1: Blondie, Devo, Elvis Costello, Clash

part 2: Talking Heads, Klaus Nomi

Limey, what is it about Scotland that it produces so much amazing music?

I dare anyone to hate this. You cannot.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-04-2015, 04:22 PM

For one thing, vocalists like Maggie Bell.

I beg to differ. Well, hate isn't the word, so, I guess you're right, after all. I'll use firm dislike.

ETA: I'm so picky when it comes to music, I prolly shouldn't count, anyway.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-05-2015, 05:24 PM

Sure it does...

In a bid to find something I can listen to, I've been exploring older country music. In the "Word Association" thread I came up with Merle Travis, guitar picking fool, and, homeboy. So, I went looking for some "Travis Picking".

I don't ordinarily go for playlists on YouTube, but, someone put together one for the album "The Atkins – Travis Traveling Show" (Travis was a major influence on Atkins' playing style), and, if you like guitar, I strongly encourage you to give it a listen.

Chet Atkins in the left ear, Merle Travis in the right ear. Some of the best picking you'll hear. They talk some over the music on a few of the tunes, but, it's interesting, and, it doesn't detract too much from the tuneage.

Alrighty, then. I just found out playlists won't embed like a regular video,

, so click here to go to YouTube to hear it. Well worth the click.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-07-2015, 09:48 AM

Outstanding!

In older Country & Western, there was some great stuff mixed in with normal wailing, whining and selling beer.

Gravdigr · 09-07-2015, 12:56 PM

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I'll have to check out some more of his stuff before I commit.

He looks familiar.

My latest musical discovery is Postmodern Jukebox:

Haley Reinhart<--->

Meh, I kinda liked her rendition of "Oops".

I really liked watching her renditioning it.

Undertoad · 09-28-2015, 06:44 PM

This was the British guitar sound of the early 1990s. In case you weren't aware. Get lost in the swirrrrrrrrling chords, did everyone have a chorus pedal, were they like really cheap there or something?

If this band did not exist Radiohead would not have existed. I imagine. In my head. Nobody has said that, I think. Except me.

There's no reason not to get the band back together...

xoxoxoBruce · 09-30-2015, 04:26 PM

I like these dudes, anti-ticket music for night driving.
