Genesis - Tresspass to Then There Were Three, nothing else (Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound are the best) Saw "The Musical Box" perform the whole of the Lamb a few weeks back, using the original costumes! Unbelievable

Has anyone else used this service to find old, nearly forgotten favorites? If you haven't, you should. Over the past couple weeks I've downloaded several songs, including a few I already have on both record and CD. For some reason, the iTunes versions sound better than I've ever heard them before.
A few examples of what I'm talking about: Billy Thorpe's Children Of The Sun, Peter Frampton's Do You Feel Like We Do? (the live version, of course) and Lou Reed's live Intro / Sweet Jane (and I think I'm gonna go back and get the rest of that phenomenal album 'Rock and Roll Animal'). In each case, iTunes has made available remixed versions that sound much, much better than any previously released print. Musical elements that were hidden in the background and that you had to strain to notice are now so clear that you can't miss them. The selection on iTunes is wide but not comprehensive. Some albums aren't complete. One irritating case in point is Little Feat's 'Wating For Columbus'. The original vinyl record, as well as a CD print that was released in the mid 90s, includes the unforgettable live version of Dixie Chicken in a medley with Tripe Face Boogie. The iTunes album leaves out Dixie Chicken but includes the other half of the medley. It even includes material that wasn't on the original release. To my mind, this ommision is unforgiveable unless iTunes is waiting for a cleaned-up remix to be produced by the record label. Another ommission is the single version of Edgar Winter's Free Ride. The album version is available but the single was much better and is almost never heard today (I still have the single and an mp3 so I haven't forgotten it).

The liberal Crooks & Liars video blog has lately been posting a number of live performance musical videos. One of the best so far is Tower of Power performing What Is Hip?, posted just last night. The link is to a webpage and it loads very slowly, but it's soooooo well worth it. I promise you won't be disappointed. The horns will absolutely blow you away!
Just click the link at C&L and go do something else for a while. When you start the video, be sure to crank the sound up LOUD!

Anyone out there fans of this radio program?
While there are some bright moments, my impression is that this program is a great pox on U.S. public music radio. A friend and I refer to it as "Burb Cafe", as in "David Dye lives in a pretty small musical world". High quality elevator and office music for people not really into music. Makes me hate the term "singer/songwriter" more than ever. David once had Taj Mahal on as a guest. Taj (bless his soul) told David that "World Cafe" was "apartheid radio". For real "World Cafe", go to WFMU-FM 91.1/Jersey City, NJ; 90.1/Hudson Valley, NY – We're an independent freeform station broadcasting at 91.1 fm in New York, at 90.1 fm in the Hudson Valley, and with gobs and gobs of online offerings.. Free form - Glorious radio semi-anarchy. Go to http://wfmu.org/listen.m3u?show=19122&archive=27716 (mp3 for broadband, archived for two weeks) or http://wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=19122&archive=27715 (realplayer for the bandwidth impared, archived perminently) for archived version of a Moondog special done earlier today. By the way, dj Irwin is, amongst other things, the producer of the Raymond Scott reissue compilation "Reckless Nights and Turkish Twilights", featuring the monster tune "Powerhouse". Moose

I'm not going to post a list of all the muic I like, at least for now, as it would probably take several weeks.
However, this week I've been listening to the music of Jimi Hendrix and some odd bits of Black Sabbath.

Last time I checked it was Zep's Stairway with 436 commercial recordings.
Speaking of covers....check this out Forbidden one of the funniest ideas I'd seen in a long time, the irony's classic. Anyone heard Dions "Bronx Blues" yet? It's his first in ten or twenty years, I'm not a big fan, but love this album.And Tool's new one too.

There are +/-100 cover version mp3's available at
Stairways to Heaven, Stairways to Hell (MP3s) - WFMU's Beware of the Blog See alsoShred Zeppelin - WFMU's Beware of the Blog In all, the WFMU blog is a massive source of oddities, both musical and non-musicical.
WFMU has been called the best radio station in the United States. I'm a believer. See also WFMU - Wikipedia Now, for cover versions in general - I would strongly suspect the most covered tunes are some of the jazz standards. God only knows how many recorded versions there are of such things as Round Midnight and so many other tunes. Moose

Americablog today posted this link to a Schoolhouse Rock video about the Mayflower (the blogger was trying to make a point about GWB acting like a king but let's please leave that out of this thread). It was fun to watch, and it got me thinking about some of those other famous SR 'toons.
It didn't take much digging to find a few more favorites: Conjunction Junction, I'm Just A Bill and Lolly Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here. I used to know all the words to these. Wow, Saturday mornings sure were fun when I was kid! Hope someone here enjoys this kinda stuff as much as I do.

Have you seen this album?
Some of it is atrocious, but the rest of it is really good.

My neighbors are too far away to annoy without an outdoor concert.
Lately I have not been listening to anything. Been very busy.The last time I sat down to play I jammed a bit to Blues traveler. Been really liking the feel of Sweet pain. It's a tasty tune. Peter Gabriel,Sting,Rush,Michael Hedges,Blue man group,Ian Moore,ACDC,Seal,Typo negative,Robie Robertson, Kenny Wayne Sheppard...just a smattering of things I like. |

Now, for cover versions in general - I would strongly suspect the most covered tunes are some of the jazz standards. Hells yes. How many times was Stairway to Heaven supposedly covered? A measley 400+ times? From the AllMusic database: Stairway to Heaven - 201 Your suggestion, Round Midnight - 1165 One of my favorites, Summertime - 2155

Music in the 1970s didn't get any better than Little Feat. The first time I was allowed to go on a long-distance trip without my parents I went to Atlanta to see Little Feat with some friends. Probably the best concert I've ever been to.
This live recording is from 1975. It features the late, great genius of Little Feat, Lowell George. Edited by berberry, : No reason given.
