What song are you listening to right now? (2 Viewers)

Jefferson Airplane - Today (1967)

Vocals: Marty Balin

Fun Fact: Jerry Garcia plays the simple, repetitive but poignant lead guitar riff on the song.

Marty Balin on "Today": "I wrote it to try to meet Tony Bennett. He was recording in the next studio. I admired him, so I thought I'd write him a song. I never got to meet him, but the Airplane ended up doing it"


 
I've gotten into a new (to me) country artist - Tyler Childers. May be too "folky" for some, but I'm a big fan - especially of this one, "All Your'n"

I like Feathered Indians better, but yah, good song.

I like that one as well - was very surprised he didn't play it when I saw him this summer. He did play All Your'n and his other hits.
 
Stand or Fall - The Fixx

One of the samples on Black Sheep's "Similak Child." Jerry's simple little harmonic was lifted and used throughout the song.
 
Savoy Brown - Louisana Blues (Live 1969)

Vocals by Lonesome Dave (later of Foghat).

Kim Simmonds guitar playing is at the top of his game here.

Fun Fact: This is a cover of an old Muddy Waters R&B tune.


Spotify does not carry this live version of the song.
 
Ramada Inn
Neil Young and Crazy Horse
at FarmAid 2012

Watched this from about 10 acres of empty parking lot, after dark, just a few empty carts from vendors left around, no one else in sight. They were all in the stadium which was packed to the gills. Wife had a panic attack in there so we left earlier. And in this huge empty lot there were 2 folding chairs in a random location, which turned out to be the only spot you could see through the evergreens and see the big screen. So we sat there, best seats in the house. Moon was full, Neil was blasting, and we got to slow dance for about 15 minutes of Like A Hurricane. Just her, me, a huge empty parking lot, a full moon, and Neil Young singing. It was like another planet. I don't know if it was the best moment of my life, but it's the wonderful one I remember most frequently.

Do we get to say Wikki Wikki Wikki again?


Wikki Wikki Wikki!
Shut up


Hard to believe how hip hop evolved over 40 years.
Enjoy this blast from the past.
 
Tom Verlaine - Breakin' in My Heart (1979)

From Television's Tom Verlaine's solo LP. The B-52's Ricky Wilson with added guitar.

Great guitar jamming tune. 🎸


 
Older, but I just put them on repeat:

Kansas City - New Basement Tapes


Hurricane - Band of Heathens

 

The Pooh Sticks - I'm In You (1991)​

The Pooh Sticks were a Welsh indie pop band from Swansea, Wales.

Here on this tune with an absolutely epic, 9 minute guitar solo. 🎸 🤯

At the 3:30 mark, you're thinking: 'why is the song this long?'
By 5:30, 'Okay... this makes sense'
When the song finishes at 14:30... you think 'Why did they end it?'


Not available on Spotify,
 
The Newman Family - Two Ton Mama (1970)

🎶
Well, I'm your two ton mama
The meat shakin' on my bones
Well, I'm your two ton mama
Meat shakin' on my bones
Everytime I shake
A skinny woman ah loses her home
🎶

Funky R&B blues soul track with great harmonica, guitar, bass (and even a washboard).

 
The Hollies - Look Through Any Window (1965)

Edited NBC Hullaballoo TV show appearance. Remastered and remixed stereo sound taken from the studio original recording.

Co-written by Graham Gouldman of 10cc.

On the charts:

#4 UK
#3 Ireland
#3 Canada
#32 US Billboard Hot Pop 100

 
I'm curious if this tune hit anywhere besides SF in the 80s...

 
I am not familiar with the original version of this song by Tom Waits. Caught this rendition by a dude named George Krikes on Rick Glassman’s podcast with special guest Teddy Swims.

I don’t want to grow up (original by Tom Waits, this version performed by George Krikes).

Tom Waits knows how to write songs, but I've always liked other artists covers of his stuff better (such as this) because of his vocals.

The version I'm most familiar with is this sped up one by The Ramones.

Also a very cool rendition of it. It’s definitely a sign of good song writing when a song can be performed in completely different music styles and translate well.
 
He Loved Him Madly - Miles Davis, from the 1974 double LP Get Up With It

Davis' tribute to Duke Ellington, who used to tell his audiences, "I love you madly."

Takes up the whole of Side One - 32:13 - it's a blend of avant garde space music influenced by German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen (called "the father of electronic music)

Black funk dreamscape, it careens between extremes, as Miles presages everything still to come: ambient, no wave, world beat, jungle, new jack swing, post-rock, even hinting at the future sound of R&B and chart-topping pop. With Davis' adoption of the electric organ, rather than run the voodoo down, now Miles could conjure it all by himself.

sublime

This was Miles 50th album in 24 years, the last from his electric fusion era.

The following year, declining health and several addictions led to a 6 year hiatus from touring or recording. During this time which Columbia released three live albums from it's archives. His triumphant comeback and the final prolific decade lay over the horizon, though; by 1974, "everything was a blur" and some wondered if he would ever work again.
 
Paul Revere & The Raiders - Just Like Me (1965)

Cover of a song by The Wilde Knights, a Washington State band from whom Paul Revere & The Raiders bought the song rights to for $5,000 and rearranged into a Kinks style Garage Rock classic with Mark Lindsey's over-the-top vocals.


 
The Knickerbockers - Lies (1965)

Everyone thought this was The Beatles when it came out.

John Lennon is said to have remarked that he didn't remember recording the song when he first heard it.

He also reportedly said, "They sound more like us than we do". This led some to call "Lies" "The greatest song The Beatles never recorded"


 
Peter Frampton, R & R HoF induction. Got a soft spot as he was one of the 1st concerts I attended in the 70's. Seems genuinely happy and joyful during his performance. A really great speech too.
 
Great fall album. Can't believe it has been 16 years.

Apple music?? What are trying to create here, anarchy?

I actually liked Apple Music when I test drove it recently. Better than Spotify, but Spotify has more underground punk/hip hop so I’m sticking with it despite the sound quality and other advantages of Apple (from what I’ve heard).

lol. My daughter wanted Apple Music and we have a family plan. Prices have continued to creep up ,but they tied in extra storage and news and such.

My daughter turned 21 earlier this month and she was listening to the album when I recommended. We went to the concert in August in KC. I like that she still hangs out with me so I think I’ll be paying for the subscription for the foreseeable future.

Nice, dude. Good moments.
 
“Can’t Stop” - Red Hot Chili Peppers

the world I love
the tears I drop
to be part of the wave can’t stop
ever wonder if it’s all for you
