I am Music

Two versions of Dazed and Confused, the first by The Yardbirds. Jimmy Page is a hoot, in full psychedelic regalia.

Here's a cover version by some band called Led Zeppelin. Guy singin' here has a voice that could punch a hole in a concrete wall.
 
This really takes me back!

Ah, the Sixties! Free love! Drugs! Long hair! Radical politics!

Here's a clip of the Jefferson Airplane playing The House at Pooneil Corners on a Manhattan rooftop in 1968, filmed by famed Frenchie auteuriste director Jean-Luc Godard (he's like the first person you see in the clip). Great song, which segues, to my ear, from 4/4 to 7/8 time. There's even an old Sunn amplifier in it. Very, very cool.

But not the ultimate in coolness, by any means. That may be this clip of the Velvet Underground doing Venus in Furs circa the Andy Warhol Exploding Plastic Inevitable days. Do I spy Bobby Mapplethorpe among the celebrants? I'm not sure, but I think that's gotta be Edie Sedgwick doing that bouncy 60s bunny dancin'. The only thing that's missing is maybe Nico and Andy hisself, but that guy with the whip makes up for them being MIA.

Almost.

Pooneil Street is just so awesome!

I mostly listen to jazz now, but Jefferson Airplane is so refreshing. (Isn’t / Wasn’t Grace Slick so sexy?)

Over the years my ear has become more educated. Hearing the back beat and the instrumentation is so novel. For a bunch of “free spirited” hippies, their music was very tight, poignant and even today very appropriate.

Do you check out the couple in partial dress? That’s the sixties. She just wrapped in a bed sheet and he with a scarf. I’m going to break out my albums tonight and just jam!

Actually, I was never a fan of T. Rex, Mr. Tung, but I was big into Richard and Linda Thompson, so that post was golden. Oh and Tessie? I way liked that cigarette thing. Former smoker, you know. :cool:

Oh, gawrsh, I'm am feelin' so semimental right now that I'm gonna actually post the Left Banke lip-synching (dig the groovy voice over lead-in!) Walk Away, Renee. Supposedly the lead singer had a cold during the recording session, which gives the song its kind of, I don't know, suppressed(?) quality.

Dig it, pleaple.

I read an article (really!) that said one's musical tastes are formed in one's early teens. So cut me some slack here. I was, like, in seventh grade when that song came out. My idea of a hot date was talking to the girl. I didn't have a lot of dates. Perhaps two.

I don't know about that early-teenie sets your aesthetic thing though. Why then would I like stuff like this?

Not performed quite right, though. It is titled "Clapping Music" and is meant to be performed by people, uh, clapping. It's cool anyway, because of Evelyn Glennie, who is profoundly deaf yet who is the (wait for it) premier classical music percussion soloist in the world. I got to see her perform here in Seattle. When playing with an orchestra, she performs bare-footed, as she senses the music through the vibrations in the floor. Just after the start of the piece Der gerettete Alberich (way cool piece, actually) by Christopher Rouse, one of the cellists fell over unconscious. Fainted. Ms. Glennie kept playing for a bit, as she couldn't see anything, being the soloist at the front of the stage, nor could she hear that anything had happened. The guy was OK and the performance was restarted and swell. Life, you know?

One of the most interesting things about this clip is that Ms. Glennie speaks with a very defined Scots accent. That isn't odd, as that is her heritage. But she's deaf! I suppose under the circumstances, any accent would be understandable, but why Scots?

Yeah, yeah. I'm just curious.

God, I love music.

Just a comment.
