Yoyomi - One Night In Bangkok (2021)

Murray Head cover I like better than the original (never cared for Head's vocals which I found irritating and seemed self-conscious or stilted)

Yoyomi is a South Korean K-Pop, R&B, Dance Music singer and actress.


Sorry, no Spotify version available.
I found this oddly fascinating.

Couldn’t find it on Pandora either.
But there is This gem
 
War Song
Aino Venna


I never would have heard this song if it wasn't the into song for "All the Sins"

 
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone
 
Laura Nyro - Goodbye Joe (1966)

Others had hits with songs from her first album: "Wedding Bell Blues," "Stoney End," & "And When I Die," but I liked this one the best (which was the second single released off the LP). I never read an interview where Nyro discussed this tune, but I am guessing from the lyrics that the "Joe" referred to is a generic "GI Joe" who has been drafted and probably going to Viet Nam.

Spencer Davis Group - Gimme Some Lovin' (American Bandstand TV Show 1967, just song, no band appearance)

The kids almost can't get on the dance floor fast enough to dance to this.

Note there are several people of color, which was unusual for network TV at the time.

Vocals: Stevie Winwood.

From Wiki:

"Winwood's distinctive voice led some to believe he was Black" (Ya think?)


 
What the hell happened to this guy?

Weirdly, I sort of knew he was losing it with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but everybody loved that album. You picked an interesting song. I just got to his Yeezus a month or so ago. (I think I wrote about it in the mid-year draft thread.)

There's a downward spiral there that I can't explain. I don't think anybody can. He strikes me as completely and utterly lost. Thing is, he sees and speaks about what he thinks is the truth and it's difficult to get someone to be self-aware and conscientious (I mean, it's more than that but it would be a start) when they're that self-assured.

I did maybe do an exercise with approximately thirty-one songs of his. :whistle: I am not sure if that will ever come to fruition, or even if it should. There are people that are way more deserving from an ethical/moral standpoint. His actions and words are the pits. It's just that he changed everything in hip hop. Nothing has been the same since he began.
 
Spent some time the past couple of days watching/listening to The Last Waltz.

I can’t stop smiling and crying. So much talent on one stage just enjoying themselves.

When I was in the Navy, momma would faithfully send out 2-4 VHS tapes every week I was overseas. Football season, it would be two college games and at least 3 NFL contests. We would play those over the ship's cctv, the boys were really appreciative.

Early on my last cruise, she sent me the CMA awards - not my thing but that's cool - and a new copy of The Last Waltz. We showed each once on the shipwide, and then I put them both in the First Class Petty Officer lounge. For the next 180 days, one of them was on continuous loop. Once in awhile the fellas would throw a movie on but everyone loved to watch/listen. I know literally every second on that film.

Favorite moment was Neil Young saying what an honor it is to be up here with these guys and then playing Helpless - with Joni Mitchell backstage singing backup.

:love:

My last deployment was my first as an E-6, and I will forever be grateful for the tiny sanctuary of that lounge, the friendships that were deeply formed, and the brilliance of The Last Waltz.
 
Rosalie
Alejandro Escovedo
(fiddle player and backup vocalist is Susan Voelz)

This was on his first tour after avoiding the fact he had hepatits C and kept pushing it for 7 more years until he was hospitalized near death. He recovered after a long time, and to ease back into performing live he formed the Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet. One of the first stops on the first live tour was in Annapolis MD, which I got to see only because I'd heard one of his songs on Down To The Promised Land and decided 'what the hell, he sounds, good, I'll get tickets'.

"To ease himself back into touring, he formed the Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet with Standefer, second cellist Matt Fish, violinist Susan Voelz and acoustic guitarist David Polkingham. When they visited the Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis, Md., recently, the five musicians—dressed all in black—sat in a semi-circle of wooden chairs and played old songs and new ones with a hushed intimacy that coaxed previously hidden nuances from the former. In the lobby, they were selling their two-CD, 14-song, web-only release, Room of Songs."

No drums, no electric, just strings and singing. The sound level went from pin-drop quiet to blastingly loud, just voices and strings. For the encore they all walked off stage, took their instruments with them, found 3 spots in the crowd between tables where 3 of them could stand and the 2 cellists could sit, and played/sang a bunch more songs with no mike. It's the best show I've ever seen.


edit: apparently the misspelling "hepatits" passes the filter here
 
Thin Lizzy - Rosalie (1975)

🎶 She knows music, I know music too, you see
She got the power, I got the power, Rosalie🎶

Bob Seger cover. The song "Rosalie" was written (by Bob Seger) in tribute to Rosalie Trombley, the music director of CKLW-AM in Windsor, Ontario, which was an important Top 40 radio station in the 1960s and 1970s.


 
Sir Lord Baltimore - Kingdom Come (1970)

Title track from one of the first albums (if not the first) to be described as "heavy metal" in a Creem Magazine LP review. 🎸
