Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (2 Viewers)

[Eephus]

I thought we did.  

It's been added to the Dayton list

 

[Eephus]

243.8 or 12 - Duke Ellington and Jimmie Blanton  - Mr. J.B. Blues (Take 2)  (1900s on 9)

Bassist Jimmie Blanton played with Duke Ellington for less than two years (1939-41) . This period is widely regarded as the peak of the Ellington Orchestra. The Blanton-Webster Band also featured Ben Webster on tenor.

Blanton died of tuberculosis at the age of 23 and Webster quit in 1943 after an altercation with Ellington. But more importantly, the strike by the American Federation of Musicians and the resulting recording ban kept Ellington out of the studio for two years during WWII. The musical landscape changed after the war and big bands were on the outs.

Cool story but in the course of typing it up I changed the pick from a big band number to a duet with the Duke and Blanton that highlights the bassist's wonderful talents.

 

[Ilov80s]

There is 95% chance I make a bonus 1900s Pick tonight, maybe even 2. 

 

[Eephus]

The full recorded output of Ellington's Blanton-Webster band is on a compilation album.  75 sides recorded over two years. Amazing stuff.

The full recorded output of Ellington's Blanton-Webster band is on a compilation album.  75 sides recorded over two years. Amazing stuff.

Nice, I will have to check more of that out. If anyone here listens to this playlist and appreciates some of this older music a little bit, I will consider the playlist a huge win. I know the music is old but it was good stuff. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

There is 95% chance I make a bonus 1900s Pick tonight, maybe even 2. 

There is 100% chance I make 2-3  bonus prog picks and add about 45 minutes to the mix.  

 

[Eephus]

244.8 or 12 - U.K. - In the Dead of Night  (I Prog)

Supergroup consisting of members from Yes, King Crimson, Roxy Music and Soft Machine formed as Prog's big wave was receding in 1978. They sure picked a boring name too.

Round 244

1900s on 91

Charlie Parker - Ko-Ko

is Dayton a dice roll and it's in circulation for draft status?

Charlie Parker - Ko-Ko

Lets go, love it

 

[Ilov80s]

is Dayton a dice roll and it's in circulation for draft status?

I think Dayton is a roll off to see which proposed categories are now in the mix to be selected in the future.Play in game kind of thing. Also great picks today. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I listened to the Stones mix on my dog walk tonight (a real stretch). We did a nice job of hits with deep tracks. It was nice on a surprisingly sunny and warm day.

I am about to fire it up. This is kind of shocking but my knowledge of the Stones is a little superficial.

Round 244

Nausea - X (The Noble Eightfold Path)

 

[simey]

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille, with 400 children and a crop in the field

Round 244

Lucille - Kenny Rogers  (Willie's Roadhouse)

 

[Eephus]

Round 244

1900s on 91

Charlie Parker - Ko-Ko

This song will stand out in the 1900s mix a little like it did when it first came out. It's musically more of a kind with songs recorded decades later on our Real Jazz playlist.

Bebop started happening during the musicians strike so its origins weren't recorded. When the recording ban ended in 1944, Bebop emerged as a fully formed entity.

I am going to draft some songs that also stand out. Not so much because they sound as futuristic as the Parker song but just because of the variety of musical styles the category allows for.

It's an interesting category and all the songs are shorter than a bass solo.

The studio version would have been even more appropriate because it features Waylon Jennings, but it's not on Spotify. 

ETA: Per simey's suggestion it was moved to Bluegrass Junction.

BONUS O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini 

Composed and performed in 1918. Shout out to A Room With a View.  

Although originally performed in 1918, the opera Gianni Schicchi wasn't recorded until mid-century. I added the oldest recording I could find on Spotify to the playlist, this 1950 version with Grete Rappsardi performing the role of Lauretta.  If you can find an older one, feel free to replace it.

The things you learn in a draft.

Yes? 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

   We just on random bonus night Friday?

If a category is retiring, I haven't put a Neil song in it yet and there were other things I wanted to do with my "real" picks that day, I often use the bonus for that (if I can find something appropriate). Which is what happened here.

There are no Neil songs there, so if you'd rather put it there, fine with me.

Although originally performed in 1918, the opera Gianni Schicchi wasn't recorded until mid-century. I added the oldest recording I could find on Spotify to the playlist, this 1950 version with Grete Rappsardi performing the role of Lauretta.  If you can find an older one, feel free to replace it.

The things you learn in a draft.

If you think it is out of bounds for the the recording date, feel free to remove it. I was not thinking about recording date vs date the music was written and popularly performed. 

 I appreciate your dedication and my next pick is totally in your honor.

If a category is retiring, I haven't put a Neil song in it yet and there were other things I wanted to do with my "real" picks that day, I often use the bonus for that (if I can find something appropriate). Which is what happened here. 

Gotcha.   I just skimmed through - I didn't see that it was a Neil pick.

Bonus Friday night

Josephine Baker - La Conga Blicoti  (1900s on 19)

from 1936

 

[Ilov80s]

   We just on random bonus night Friday?

There aren't any fascists here, draft the song you want.

There are no Neil songs there, so if you'd rather put it there, fine with me. 

I put it there.

Early recording technology is one of the main things unifying this playlist.  The old scratchy sound with drums and bass buried way down in the mix makes the songs sound like they're coming out of the distant past, which of course they are but the fidelity of a record from the 50s sounds closer to a modern recording than one dating from the 1930.

1900s on 19 was prime time for fascists

This is last call for Willie's Roadhouse, and Johnny isn't on there yet, so...

Bonus Willie's Roadhouse

Big River - Johnny Cash

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Well, RW also said he is going Prog x2, and his might get a little metal-y, but not sure.  There is one band that I am not a huge fan of that I think "needs" to be on a prog list so if he or somebody else doesn't take something I will probably bonus it up tonight.   In the meantime, let's get in some more 70s proggy goodness

I HEART PROG

243.XX:  CAMEL -  LADY FANTASY:  ENCOUNTER/SMILES FOR YOU/LADY FANTASY

Link

You know it's prog when there are lyrics like "saw you sitting on a sunbeam".

 

[KarmaPolice]

Alright, let's keep rocking the 70s prog.

I HEART PROG

244.xx:  GENTLE GIANT - THE ADVENT OF PANURGE

Link

 

[KarmaPolice]

Yes, I realize I am doing it wrong with a sub 5min song..   

 

[Ilov80s]

1900s on 19 was prime time for fascists

Tear the Fascists Down

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I put it there. 

Which means it's time for...

ANOTHER BONUS PICK! 

Are There Any More Real Cowboys? -- Neil Young ft. Willie Nelson (Willie's Roadhouse)

For whatever reason, aside from the Journey through the Past soundtrack that was released against Neil's will, Old Ways is the only Neil album that's not on Spotify. However, this duet with Willie also appears on a compilation album of Willie duets that is on Spotify.  

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Yes, I realize I am doing it wrong with a sub 5min song..   

Some might say that's a good thing in this case. I know several people who like prog but think Gentle Giant is a bridge too far. I haven't heard enough of their stuff to weigh in.
