Female player on stage here! I always like to give them some promotion because ladies get given a mic and relegated to fluff so often that many of them don't pursue anything higher.
Not too late for this old fart to add California Punk to my repertoire. Well I’m going to try it Sunday. Interesting how the music scene still adds an English accent.
Joni's 80s albums aren't exactly the greatest. Just, really not great. Although I might have to reevaluate them. This one, which I kept an eye on at my local record store, is one I've always liked and felt it was her best 80s album. My Secret Place is something she'd definitely write, The Tea Leaf Prophecy is one I always liked. Anyway, I went record shopping, found this for a few bucks and grabbed it. This and finding the Charade soundtrack was a good find.
Charade, for those that don't know, this is a great movie. Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, it's great fun. And it's Henry Mancini. Bought this on vinyl for $3 yesterday.
LOVE the main title, have played it before. He also doesn't get credit for the whole Panther soundtrack, which is stamped into my brain from cartoons growing up. I mean, he does, but I don't think people really listen to the in-scene music all the way thru like they ought to.
Some of those waltz tempo but poppish tunes sometimes make me think of Paris, and I'm now interested in why. Bluesette, The Umbrella Song, Charade, and a mutation of Fool On The Hill for a Mary Tyler Moore theme (I swear I can remember this --I am NOT confusing it with Room 222-- but the last time I looked on YT, I came up empty). Room 222 is in 7/4 anyway. Everyone I have ever tried to tell this to in public has referred me to Room 222.
Haven't visited Paris, so this is completely from a stereotype POV, musically. Kind of like one might associate slow tempo mandolin tunes with Italy.
Lady Gaga performing at Biden's inauguration, last year's Super Bowl halftime show having the likes of Usher, Lil Jon at the DNC, and now Kendrick performing this year. For us Millennials. this is our moment. I'm still bummed I couldn't see Kendrick for $20. Few things illustrate generational change to me like last season’s halftime show and now this season’s. https://t.co/m3aOGe87s6— Jane Coaston 🏔️ (@janecoaston) September 8, 2024
Anyway, some Kendrick tracks, from the start, to when he got big, to of course, his Drake diss tracks.
Looks like Dave Grohl will be a Poo Fighter once again. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...s-become-father-baby-born-marriage-rcna170498
Not including Prince in the RS top guitarists list may have fueled his sick solo at the end of As My Guitar Gently Weeps at the R&RHOF ceremony A so-far unreleased Netflix documentary, though - we’ll get to that - is said to give credence to one particular theory that’s been bubbling under for some time. its list of the greatest guitarists of all time. The magazine, it should be noted, was co-founded by Jann Wenner, who also happens to be the co-founder of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. https://www.musicradar.com/artists/...-cold-dish-of-revenge-served-to-rolling-stone
JEJ's death gives me a reason to repost my fave Curtis Mayfield tune. This is the theme of a film he starred in with Diahann Carroll. Ridiculously cool vibe built around a simple, repeating bass line. Early 70s greatness for real. You had to be there. And also two from Frankie Beverly and Maze. Cool hit tune and one of the greatest slow jams of awwwl tahm
Ahh...what coulda been “I told Noel Gallagher that Oasis sounded like Guns N’ Roses. We gave them some crazy speed and they were up for the next three days.” You can blame The Brian Jonestown Massacre for Oasis nearly splitting up in 1994 https://www.loudersound.com/news/bl...assacre-for-oasis-nearly-splitting-up-in-1994
