What Are You Listening To Right Now (Part IV)

[Vyn]

One more before I buzz off to other things:

It's a YouTube Day. Or, rather, a Tidal Day. But I can't link Oh, Happy Day from Tidal, so here ya go:

That one and the Nina Simone are two of my favorite songs.

That one and the Nina Simone are two of my favorite songs.

The (seemingly) unbridled sledgehammer of emotive force they unleash reaches out of the tiniest speakers to smack a person upside the head. I can only imagine standing in front of The Edwin Hawkins Singers as they belted out Oh Happy Day. Talk about getting blown away!

Homefry metal!

New BLACK LABEL SOCIETY!!

That riff! Holy moses! Could do without the damn cow bell though...   

[Vyn]

That tune cranks!

I was listening to it and thinking, "I don't hear any cowbell."

Then the cowbell appeared lol

[Zzzptm]

Doing my funk show for next week, so the playlist has got all kinds of goodies, ending with Funkadelic "One Nation Under a Groove." Get it on the one!

Metal Church - In Mourning (The Final Sermon - Live In Japan)

[Vyn]

The new Tyr is on the rig this afternoon. Still loving the remaster work they did, man, great job. One thing that I find odd, is that they did not include a reproduction of the original inner sleeve. I've actually got my og copy of Tyr on eBay as I type this, but kept the original inner sleeve because it's pretty cool, and has all the lyrics and such.

Tyr has been going for biiiig bucks on ebay but I do ponder if the remaster set has brought the prices of the originals down...but either way I think you're still up for a rather good pay day...more than I could ever afford to pay that's for sure!

[Vyn]

The remasters probably cut into the price some, we'll see what this goes for. I have a handful I tossed up there that I can't trade out, if they sell for $20 a pop, I'll be happy.

Cesar Cui's etudes for Piano and Violin.

Nice and smooth for a Sunday morning.

Clash - Give 'Em Enough Rope

(Haven't listened to it in years, not as good as I remembered!)

[Vyn]

Nothing as high-brow as Z's selection from the belyayev circle, and lacking the social agitation of "The Only Band That Matters". But a beautifully sunny late Sunday morning in the midwestern United States finds me spinning the decidedly low-brow and self-centered musical stylings of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac:

While the Clash had the social message, looking back they were quite patchy song writers. One thing I noticed in playing the debut and Give 'Em Enough Rope is how muffled and indistinct the vocals are... not great if you're trying to get a message across! I do think London Calling is where they got things right... one album of decent songs, sadly spread over two albums!
