At the moment, I'm listening to Astral Projection's "Trust in Trance 3". The first song, 'Kabalah', is probably one of their best, although the fourth song 'Utopia' is my favorite one from the album (and probably my favorite one from the artist). Good energetic goa trance.
At this moment, and I mean exactly this moment, I'm listening to Violent Femmes - Ple.. no.. now its Violent Femmes - Add it up. From Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes.

Stork is flying out Saturday. I think you know him from the phish scene.
Stork! I remember him well :) We used to hang out at a Phish chat called Land's End. My pre-SpiritPlants home. I remember hearing Stork play guitar in person, not sure where, really enjoyed it.
Phish touring days, I recall them with so much fondness. Now I hear Trey Anastasio is getting busted for painkillers :cry: And his last solo album was good too!
I think he needs to get back on the train :wink: :twisted:
Actually Stork flies out Sunday. Theoretically, considering the recent storms.

Bad Xmas musick
I must admit I'm hooked on the Phil at Warfield sets featuring J Scofield. The recording is excellent and there is so much open space in the sonic mix.
I wonder what Scofield thought of the bazaar which is da dead scene where the psychedelic tool is da rule?
lw
I bet he loved every minute of it. You prolly know he was a famous junkie for many years.........
I think maybe my jazz bud told me of Scofield's past addiction during a recent sesh with the shows as a backdrop. Suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise. I do remember he told me Miles managed to kick on his own. And that Miles once played a gig in Cedar Rapids Ia back in the day when jazz mucisians from the city were touring the U$ by train. Apparently my friend had an uncle who was an old-school jazz musician working in NY. He claimed that there once was a billboard in NYC that read: "If you think you can play, try playing in CR." hehe Apparently there was little appreciation for the finer aspects of jazz out on the prairie back in those days. But I guess Miles still put on one hell of a show those nights in Cedar Rapids....
lw
If I remember right, Miles was a junkie as a young man, from when he was hanging out with Bird, but kicked. Then when he took a few years off in his 60s hi did a whole "coke and bitches" thing.
He didn't cop to tripping, but listen to Bitches Brew. The music certainly has that certain something...........
BTW, the cds came today. An embarrasment of riches. When you have time to listen to all that music?
I'm glad to hear the discs arrived OK, bro. I guess most of the time you spend playing, I spend listening, eh? hehe
Most of my musical enjoyment these daze takes place in the afternoon, after I'm done teaching and before Laura makes it home for the evening. Doing dishes and cleaning the house has evolved into a sort of personal meditation for me during the last few years. (I tried explaining that concept to wierdo awhile back, but he didn't seem to appreciate the finer points of this exercise. hehe)
Shucks, I'm guessing that I have at least a couple hundred hours of dead/phil related sets on disc that I haven't even got around to listening to yet. And most of that was gifted to me before I had a burner. Things have gotten a little out of hand since I've put myself into that musical loop....
I'm curious to hear what you think of the Steve Earle/Del McCoury Band collaboration that was included. Word on the street is that there was a little tension between Del and Steve during the collaboration process. Del required Steve to wear their version of a monkey suit while promoting the album. Steve had a problem with that, as he claimed that the only times he was ever forced to wear a suit was on the days he was standing in front of a judge on his way into the slammer. Del also had a problem with Earle's use of colorful language on stage. Del prefers a more wholsome show, apparently. This caused Steve to make the statement during an interview that Del didn't like any cussing with his music while he (Steve) liked a little music to go along with his swearing. At least Del was able to recognize the beauty in the songs and lyrics Steve brought into the process. Bluegrass needs folks like Steve Earle to continue writing new, viable material if it is going to evolve and continue growing.
lw
hey Laughing...cause i am a curious little monkey. What do you teach?
And, yeah, doing the dishes, cleaning or cooking is indeed a great meditation and a great way to practice ones hand skills as well;)
HIGHLY recommended to all (especially males) out there :D :D
As for music, since, this is a music thread, as for the past few years, i guess i'd say its 70% electronica stuff, chill and more upbeat, 20% reaggea and world, 10% other weird stuff.
Bitches Brew's in indeed a fantastic album.
and oh man, seing the Violent Femmes live'd be real sweet.
It's been a couple years since i havent seen any live music besides psy parties, thatd be fun.
I teach english as a second language.
lw
cool Laughing:) maybe i'll ge to do that when i'll be in some weird foreign asian country;)
for more tunes, here is what i play on winamp:

So LW, you can come over and meditate at my house anytime you want.
I was on a music fast yesterday, you need a break from anything sometimes. Today it's right back in the saddle, I got 5 hours of teaching to do. I will listen to the Steve-Del stuff first.
There seems to be a forward moving faction in the bluegrass world, my friend Barfly calls it New Grass. He has been known to play slide mandolin on his versions of Welcome to the Jungle or Whole Lot of Love ect. Good stuff indeed.
As far as my listening, I been listening to mixes from a session I did with Cadillac Steiny featuring the fabulous Johnny Guitar Knox. I also have been wading through the Grateful Dead internet archive chronologically.
Yea there is definately a Blue Grass revival going on. I have a friend who plays the mandolin, it's all I ever hear over at his place.
He and a few other guys get together at a local bar to do some improvised Blue Grass, haven't got to go see them yet but I'm sure it'd be interesting.
JRL wrote: He didn't cop to tripping, but listen to Bitches Brew. The music certainly has that certain something...........
I'm not so sure Miles didn't turn on at some point...read the following from Timothy Leary's autobiography:
Timothy Leary, Flashbacks (1983):
"From 1960 to 1967 I was director of research projects at Harvard University and Millbrook, New York which studied the effects of brain-change drugs. During this period a talented group of psychologists and philosophers on our staff ran guided "trips" for over 3000 volunteers. These projects won worldwide recognition as centers for consciousness alteration and exploration of new dimensions of the mind.
"Our headquarters at Harvard and Millbrook were regularly visited by people interested in expanding their intelligence - poets and writers like Allen Ginsberg, Charles Olsen, Jack Kerouac, Robert Lovell; musicians like "The Grateful Dead," Charles Mingus, ******Miles Davis******, John Lennon, Jim Morrison; philosophers like Aldous Huxley, Arthur Koestler, Alan Watts; swamis, gurus, mystics, psychics by the troops. Scores of scientists from top universities. And occasionally steely-eyed experts, from government and military centers also participated."
(emphasis mine)
Well, I certainly think that Miles did turn on, but if I remember right, I never read anything about it in his autobiography or the half dozen or so biographys of him that I have read. I do remember him saying he didn't like pot.
Bitches Brew is particularly trippy, the tune off it Miles Runs The Voodoo Down especially.
I would also add that I take everything Dr. Leary said with a bit of salt, he was a spin doctor of the highest degree.
In all my Grateful Dead studies I never saw anything about them trippin with Leary, such different styles........
I remember reading that Leary allegedly sent the dead a bill for his contribution to their psychedelic circus.
I'm sure its possible the band found Its way to leary's during their early trips to the north east. I also remember reading something about Mickey banging some uppercrust NY socialite with digs in that general area, so who knows.
lw
Was that in Scully's book? It's a great story, who knows how acurate. I don't doubt it though, seems acid didn't work it's magic on Leary's ego......
BTW, I listened to a bit of the Steve/Del thing, good stuff!
LOL Did you catch the opening line of that disc? Its Earle saying, "Put your hat on, boy. You have to wear the hat if you're gonna play in this band. M-I-C-K-E-Y.." and boom! into the first song. My guess is that SE had final production on the disc and added that first line after all was said and done as a poke at Dels' controlling and archaic ways. hehe
lw
I did hear it, I will check it out again. Steve has been known to include studio chatter. On one record he says something like "I like the way the echo goes right through my head, I had that before but it was chemically induced"
Brother Willow turned me on to this: The Mountain- Steve Earle and the Del Mcoury Band
Iffn you are like me and you love bluegrass and old time left wing folk music this ones for you. Steve Earle is about as right on as it gets.
Now listening to a Phil Lesh and Friends Warefield show (it's out in the car. not sure of the date), also from our esteemed brudah LW. This show features John Scofield on guitar and America's sweetheart Joan Osborn.
Choice stuff, Scofield sounds like he is having a bast, I always thought he had a touch of Garcia influence especially in his acid jazz records.
And what a concept, finally a truely great singer singing Grateful Dead music!!
Good stuff!!!
Dude, that Phil show is pretty damn good. You know what the lineup was? Scofield sounds like he has great affection for Garcia, and if so playin that music must have been a blast.
Thanks again for more great music!
No problem. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Phil: Bass/vocals
Larry Campbell: Guitar/fiddle/vocals
Joan Osborne: Vocals
John Molo: Drums
Greg Osby Alto/Soprano sax
Rob Baracco: Piano/organ/vocals
Have you caught the little space segment before Morning Dew, yet? I'm pretty sure that theramine[?]- like sound is Joan's voice....
lw
Yeah, she get's pretty spacey. I love that girl. Larry Campbell plays the peal steel as well?
LOL Who's playing pedal-steel? That's the question I've been ak-sing myself this last while, too, as there is no credit given except that which I posted above.....
lw
Getting into the second disc now. I dig the Dark Star and the jam into Morning Dew. I am not so sure about the Other One.
I mean it's great knowing that the Grateful Dead repitoire lives on, but damn I miss Garcia.
Yeah, that fiddle fueled Other One is definitely one of a kind. But its growing on me OK. The included version of the Wheel has been a little tougher for me to get into....
lw
I like the long prelude to Dark Star, they kind of hinted at Wharf Rat and some other stuff.
You can tell that most of the band(all but Phil) havn't been playing this material for the requisite 40 years(so far, as Phil reminds us). It's always a trade off between freshness and familiarity.
Long live Phil Lesh!!

There's this Los Angeles psychedelic rock band from '67-'69 called the West Coast Pop Art Experimentation Band I've been into the past few days. They remind me of New York's Velvet Underground from the same time, dark, kind of twisted, very melodic when not outright terrifying. Very obsessing once you get hooked. They made five albums in their time, worth looking for in whatever way you find your music :twisted:
Witchita Lineman-- The Meters
The Alchemy of Scott LaFaro---- Ornette Coleman
Middle Class Whiteboy-- Mose Allison
Junco Partner----- Proffesor Longhair

Of other albums has been Mantaray - Numinous Island, and some various old LPs of Ten Years After, Jefferson Airplane and stuff like that.
I can't stop playing everything randomly. I did stop the other day and play 4 of the 6 CDs of the Beatles Ultra Rare Trax collection. "Get Back" sung in German was the most memorable. But at the moment, it's "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker," Ramones, 1979/10/13 - Northwestern University. I wonder what's next...

Zaum is an off shoot of the famous (or infamous, if you will) TOOL.
They are a side project of Danny Carey's (TOOL's percusionist). The member list also includes Chris Pitman, Vince DeFranco, Marco Fox. They only cut a demo album with just a few tracks but they are surely an interesting act! Danny is one of the most amazing drummers!
I think Zaum was Danny's as well as TOOL's inspiration for some of the live instrumentals that were recorded for the Salival CD/DVD set.
My favorite tracks are Apparatus & MerKaBa.

Below is a link to one of the hottest dead shows I ever caught. Unfortunately, I'm listening to it for the first time ever right now. I had no idea the show was as smoking as it is. This was the day I ended up in the medical tent behind the stage with a severe case of acid refulx while the opening act, David Lindley was finishing up. I remember my buddy, Chet pulling me out of the pound before the Dead came on. As far as the actual show goes, I remember lounging in front of the stage when Phil made the comment of the band taking longer between songs than earlier in their career. And I distinctly remember Bobby being the hold up. After that he manically tuned his gat between songs and raced up to the mic like a sprinter at the line. But I don't remember jack-shite about ANY of the stone-cold jams that are melting my speakers as I type....

I just got a couple of new CDs:
"Heliopolis" by Filteria. Good new goa trance. Lots of energy.
"Vibration Four" by Midijum Records. It's a progressive and psychedelic trance compilation. Kind of laid-back.
My goodness.... I hit deadbase a little bit ago and happened to take a listen to this, the last GD show played at Alpine Valley, WI. It was a crazy rainey night and prolly the most fun I ever had at a dead show. Period. Start to finish. Check it out y'all...

Took another listen this morning to the first set of the above show. Bobby just rips, Jerry is fluid as hell and well, Phil is Phil. I remember the Desolation Row from that night so vividly. I flashed on the fact that the song's lyrics captured a certain essence of the whole GD scene that was viewed one way from the outside and another from those in the know, which even then was a shifty proposition.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.........
They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row
Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You Belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row
Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row
Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
Inside of a leather cup
But all his sexless patients
They're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser
She's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
They all play on penny whistles
You can hear them blow
If you lean your head out far enough
From Desolation Row
Across the street they've nailed the curtains
They're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera
A perfect image of a priest
They're spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get Outa Here If You Don't Know
Casanova is just being punished for going
To Desolation Row"
Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row
Praise be to Nero's Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody's shouting
"Which Side Are You On?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
Fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them
And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea
Where lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much
About Desolation Row
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row
My Brothers I stand before you ready to admit to my sin. Yes, I have sinned and your mercy and understanding I do beg.
You see, although I once swore that friends don't let friends listen to MP3 (or apple's compression standard) I finally got an IPod.
BUT IT WAS A GIFT I SWEAR!!! :o
And so, I have been downloading and converting shows (ITunes DOES let you change the settings so your files aren't competely screwed by the compression) and listening to them on my Ipod.
The further network is pretty cool as I recently installed it on my Mac.

Forgive me for my sins! :lol:
Jiku submitting to MP3,IPod's, "compression" :shock: ---- Jeez, makes this 'ole Ludditte remove his foil hat and scratch his balding tufts 'o grey :wink: ------------- sal
I'm stuck on that show above from apline valley in 89. The second half of the first set is pure tension and it just builds up to Deal. Then on to the second set and a much needed release springing eternal from the opening notes of Box of Rain.

Victim Or The Crime
Lyrics: Gerrit Graham
Music: Bob Weir
Patience runs out on the junkie
The dark side hires another soul
Did he steal his fate or earn it
Was he force-fed, did he learn it
Whatever happened to his precious self control
Like him I'm tired of trying to heal
This tom-cat heart with which I'm blessed
Is destruction loving's twin
Must I choose to lose or win
Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed
These are the horns of the dilemma
What truth is proof against all lies
When sacred fails before profane
The wisest man is deemed insane
Even the purest of romantics compromise
What fixation feeds this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs
Am I living truth or rank deceiver
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Or the crime
And so I wrestle with the angel
To see who'll reap the seeds I sow
Am I the driver or the driven
Will I be damned to be forgiven
Is there anybody here but me who needs to know
What it is to face this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs
Am I living truth or rank deceiver
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Beware--- Slim Bawb and Gator Bait
Slim Bawb aka Bob Pearce is my good friend who had a band called the Beer Dawgs //http://beerdawgs.com/ for the past 20 years including the first 9 years with your's truly on bass (my "rock star" years). Bob disbanded both bands and moved to Austin last year but reunion tours are planned.
Gator Bait is Bob's acoustic band. Good stuff. Bob's a sly songwriter and the side is packed with rootsy goodness.
Immortal and 1349 - Good old black metal ;)
A Love Supreme--- John Coltrane
I LOVE that album, JRL. Coltrane. Words fail.

Talk about a blast from the past....
This was my second dead show. I didn't think anything could top the wierdness of the first one, but it might have happened real early in the first set of this show at Alpine Valley. The boyz had barely made it through the first song of the evening when a crazed, hairy and completely naked hippie landed in our midst on his way down the hill, pulling up short and pointing to his exposed crotch. "Red pubes," he said, almost as much a question as statement of fact. Then his eyes got big and he turned and burned toward the stage at the bottom of the hill, security forces close behind, but losing ground as far as I could tell..... About then, Bobby makee it to the verse in Ain't Superstitious" where he askes to be met at the bottom of the hill with his running shoes and it all makes sense in the strangest way..... hahahahaha

Tanks...
lw
Great show, no? And what about the Other Verses?
Interesting hearing the added verses to the Other One. Prolly too personal for Weir to do it that way day in, maybe.
That show is a great example of their early raw energy, imo. But I prefer later eras when the boyz slow things down a bit, spread out and seem to get it under a little more control....
lw
Well you know me, the early weird stuff tickles my fancy. But that particular show seemed to be a breakout one for them.
I've been rifleing through the archives chronologicaly, in the first few years you can hear the music evolve almost weekly.
Talk about a blast from the past. This is one of the first shows I was gifted from the deads' earlier years back in the daze of my misspent youth. My buddy Chuck and I spent many days and nights cruising the back roads of the prairie with sistah Maria, eating candybars, drinking soda pop and fiddling with the controls of a 10 band graphic EQ...
Needless to say, this sbd version sounds way better than my old, multi-generational cassette copy. Catch a listen from Trucking on through Morning Dew for an intense musical treat during the daze of one drummer.

BTW I am a fan of the one drummer Dead shows.
I admit it....Fall Out Boy. ;^)
Adam
LOL JRL... Dat's why I made the one drummer comment, bro. Just trying to entice you into giving that musical passage a listen.
lw
Well now I am gonna have to check it out. So much music so little time.
As far as the Billy-Mickey dicotomy goes, I once heard my band leader friend Barfly say to drummer Valentino the 12th, " I need you to be more Billy and less Mickey tonight......"
To my ears sometimes Mick sounds like he needs a bit to much attention for my taste in drummers. Kreutzman on the other hand is a stone groover. Phil said about the second one drummer era "Bill played like a young god"
I agree with that part about Mickey needing attention. He REALLY came off that way the last tour da dead did together a couple of years ago. Kinda turned me off a little....
lw
The words 'prima dona' come to mind. I heard he is somewhat psycho too, but then, what drummer isn't at least a little bit psycho? :lol:
Drummers are indeed a neccasary evil. Given Kreutzmans reported penchance for violent confrontation, I imagine it's only Mick's martial arts training that has kept him alive and in one piece.
I got 2 words for the the kind of stuff Mickey plays: groove kill!
From what I understand, Billy and Mickey have had a pretty stable relationship through the years. Kind of interesting, considering Billys' penchant for violent conflict resolution and Mickey's ego.
lw
Well bless their souls for being who they are and doing what they did. I wouldn't be who I am if they hadn't of done it. They will always be my inspiration. I feel so close to them. like family. Like big brothers watched from afar.
The music never stopped
You know, I have to admit that I am starting to take a shine to Joan's singing with Phil. At first I wasn't quite comfortable with it, but now, its like wow! Like when she is singing harmony on 'He's Gone', but she is so far out front it makes it sound like a whole new melody.
I really like that Ryan Adam's song 'Cold Roses' too. I've been noodling with that on my acoustic. Great tune!
I love Joan! Damn, I love Joan! Is she married?
To me she just sings with a big open heart, oh so human. Dig her with Phil, the Funk Brothers or the Dixie Chicks.

weird- I thought I had posted about 2-14-68 last night.
That is the Neal Cassidy wake show. You can hear Weir and Lesh crying as the sing the Other One.
That seems to be the month they broke through, the music is often totally thrilling. You can hear Garcia transending all the praticed licks and scale patterns to the freedom of pure expression.
Spudboy lives!!!
2-14-68 was the Neil Cassidy wake show as well as the celebration of Tiffany/Lavelle's new born daughter. (Lavelle is a brotha into cowboy outfits and harleys back in the day.)

lw
Operator eh? Sounds interesting. I heard a strange song the other day...then I figured out I was just tripping and the phone was off the hook. I believe the song is called Busy Signal.
It's kind of a freaky tune.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_signal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_signal)
Operator was released on American Beauty with PigPen on vocals. I really like the original sound, highlighting pig's voice and light on the instrumentals in the background.
Operator, can you help me, help me if you please.
Give me the right area code and the number that I need.
My rider left upon the midnight flyer,
Singin like a summer breeze.
I think shes somewhere down south, down about baton rouge,
But I just cant remember no number, a number I can use.
Directory dont have it, central done forgot it,
Ive gotta find a number to use.
Trying to check out her number, trying to run down her line.
Operator said thats privledged information,
And it aint no business of mine.
Its floodin down in texas, poles are out in utah,
Gotta find a private line.
She could be hangin round the steel mill,
Working in a house of blue lights.
Riding a getaway bus out of portland, talking to the night.
I dont know where shes going, I dont care where shes been,
Long as shes doin it right. long as shes doin it right
Not sure who penned this one...
lw
I'm pretty sure Pig penned this(heehee). The original cut is filled with that ragtime fingerpicking stuff that Garcia did so well.
As far as my listening goes: Ella Fitzgerald Jams with: Harry Edison, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Eddie Davis, Joe Pass, Tommy Flanagan, Ray Brown and Louis Bellson.
That actually is the name of the record, great stuff!
I'd be surprised if pig wrote that one. The lyrics are just too darned concise to be written by someone just dabbling, imo. But I've searched the net for credits and have had no luck. The for sure site appears down. But I think Laura maybe gave em a book for christmas one year that has the answer. I'll look.
Manu Chou's "Clandestino" is spinning as we speak.
lw
Manu Chao lead to Ziskakan...
lw
I am pretty sure Pig wrote it, actually. Or at any rate he got the cred.
Pig was a bluesman for sure, and as such was knowlagable about the poetry of song. I mean long before there was Dylan and Hunter there was Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon(weir wrote with him) and Howlin Wolf.
PS I am sure if you asked them, Hunter and Dylan would acknowledge their debt to the afformentiond great ones.
Well, a fellow can be knowledgeable about the poetry of song and not be able to pull off those lyrics, imo. I just didn't know piggers was a wordsmith of that calibur. But I'll take your word for it.

I've been putting together a new stereo system as of late. At this point I'm considering not spending any money on a new cd player and instead going with a tricked out (tubed) usb digital to analog converter (DAC) between the mac and stereo amp. Then I'd be able to use the mac cdp as a disc transport and allow for streaming/internet radio onto our main system.
At this point, the above seems like one of the best solutions while waiting to see how the cd/dvd format wars play out. For substantially less than the price of a state-of-the-art cd player, I'd be able to set up a quality usb DAC and a large enough HD to transfer all of the cd collection to disc. From what I've read, lossless importing of data allows for cd quality playback from a digital source.
lw
You could also look into some of the newer iPods or related 'mp3' players. Some of them allow for having their firmware updated, and you can get software that will let them play FLAC format which means being able to download LOSSLESS music and play it without having to convert to AIFF or burn to CD. From what I have heard they make 'plug in' stations for cars or home stereos so you can plug your ipod in and play LOSSLESS from there.
Granted the only advantage with this is the portability of the ipod so that you can listen on your home stereo, with headphones while walking, or in your car/truck, but when and if I can invest the $, I think this is the route I will go.
I emphasize the LOSSLESS only because a lot of people immediatley think ipod = mp3 equal lossy music, but thats no longer necessarily the case...
The ipod might eventually rise to hi fidelity, they still have a way to go, imo. Even if they can do lossless, jacking into a system through the headphones still produces too much potential "jitter" from what I've read up to this point. But I'm guessing they will eventually get it right.
There is a product called a squeeze box that takes the computer/stereo interface to a level higher than the ipod currently is able. (And is wireless to boot.) But the luddite in me is attracted to the scott Nixon tubed usb dac....

Good stuff, Senor. Gatemouth was right on, squarley between genera. I cried when he died.
Now it's Taj Mahal "the hustle is on" check out shoutcast and punch in blues on genre----lotta great offerings
I love Taj. I used to see him in the 60s with his great trio with Jesse Ed Davis (the indian of the group). Taj is a real treasue, a one man repsository of the true american culture.
BTW Senor, were you in No Cal in 1969? And if you were did you go to the Lake Amador Gold Rush Festival?
Yesssiirrree, Taj is sumpin special... I can remember back in the day, I used to try and get people to listen to him. Very few made the effort to expand their musical genres... 10-15 yrs go by, and all the 'music afficianados' started telling me Taj Had it Goin On!!! Though I am always gladdened to see anyones misical horizons broadened, it always struck me as sorta funny to watch peeps 'come around'..... As far a concerts in Cal back in the dawn of history.... The only jam I heard in N.Cal back then was some anti-war jam in Golden Gate Park. Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver played....Joplin (who appeared for maybe a minute and stomped off the stage for reasons never given) Heard Neil Young play in a pizza parlor (Shakeys??) in Sacremento ...... Heard Santana at whatever the local Sac junior College is called.... Back then, I sorta shied away from attending festivals per se, because they always wanted something exhorbitant like $8 or $10 to get in (the nerve :D )--- sal
You missed a good one. The bookers were hip beyond belief. I remember these acts: Santana, Bo Diddley, The Sons of Champlin, Ike and Tina Turner, Taj, Albert Collins, Cold Blood, David Lindley's band Kallidescope. Linn County, Southwind and more I can't remember, 18 hours of music.
Taj played a July 4th festival in Sioux City maybe a decade ago. After his set, he ended up next to us in the crowd in front of the stage, grooving for pretty much the rest of the evening. And during the dozen years or so that we've attended that gig, Taj is the only performer I can remember who took advantage of that laid-back setting and kicked their heels up with the common folk down front.

The Best of BeauSoleil.
Last Saturday night, KD and I hung out at a favorite burger joint in Seattle, Dick's, and I ran my iPod through its paces while writing...listening to some bands I had albums of but not played much...in particular:
Appleseed Cast--Peregrine (2006)--deep psychedelic rock from 2006
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sq ... fyxq9dldse (http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0pfyxq9dldse)
My Bloody Valentine--Loveless (1991)--an hour of beautiful noise, I think I'm getting it more
http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sq ... frxqw5ldse (http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:d9frxqw5ldse)
Oh, yah, also been enjoying Chicago's first album, Chicago Transit Authority (1969), of late...before they went shlock in the '80s, this band rocked and jazzed and blew doors out!

Man, the musical drought appears to be about over here in Ioway. I'm hoping to catch Ziggy Marley, George Clinton, RatDog, The Wailers and Burning Spear , who are all playing individually during the next ten weeks within easy driving distances.

Great name! SKYHIGHATRIST!!!!! 2 and a half stars just for that.

Great record, Modern Times is as well. Dylan is the consumate blues man these days, but he always was.

Yeah, mon.
Modern Times and Love and Theft are on the regular rotation as well.
lw
Jim White, Transnormal Skiperoo....
lw
Beach Boys- God Only Knows and Good Vibrations
Blue Cheer- Outside Inside Owsleys other band, the first heavy metal punks and still on the road.
Hail H.I.M. - Burning Spear -
Our new 30 watt battery powered amp for the kitchen showed up the other day and I couldn't resist dropping it into the main system. The dang little thing is blowing me away right out of the box.
Owlsey's other band, eh? That sounds interesting....
lw
You not hip to Blue Cheer? They were his bad sons, maybe not smart like the Dead guys, but wild and dangerous. And loud, I mean LOUD. The drummers Mom was the distributor for Owsley in Sacramento, though the boys got into hard drugs early. But some good songs are Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger, Feathers From Your Tree, Summer Time Blues, A Gypsy Ball, and a bunch of others. They would turn you inside out, bloody and battered, like taking acid with the Hells Angels at Kesey's place.
Amy Winehouse
Mindless self indulgence-Stupid MF :D
GD 4-24-72 in hd.....
lw
I been digging shows from 72, it's no secret that I am not a Mickey Hart fan. And there is much better stuff around then what ended up on Europe 72. Seems to me they were playing it safe for Warner Brothers. I also heard that there was a lot of overdubbing on the record.
David Lindley and Hani Naser live in japan playing real good....
lw
Btw, I never listen to Europe 72, as it is a compilation of more than one show if'n I remember correctly.
lw
Blue Cheer :shock: --- Owsleys other huh?? Hmmm, who would thunk it eh?? I mean, the Dead were just a bunch of dirty hippies, foisting off chaotic sound on stage as if'n it was coherent music.... :wink: That said, Blue Cheer was the first indoor concert, big auditorium show I ever saw....The whole gig was such a super time for me... The crowds energy, the beautiful hippy babes floating by... At the time, I was way into Cheers' version of Summertime Blues, and when the time came for them to get to putting it down live, the bass player broke a string... After making a few frantic gestures, signalling the other members, he tossed his axe about thirty feet into the air and let it land on the stage with a hellish twanging.... Then he picked the thing back up and continued for what had to have been a 12-15 min version of 'Summertime"... Great energy / great memories; but then, who doesn't remember with fondness their first few concerts..... Ahhh, those were 'da daze.........
Bob Dylan - Slow train Coming -
lw
Blue Cheer your first concert?? So thats the orgin the superhero Senor Salvia. They were a great band if a bit raw. Dickie Petersen (the bassplayer/singer who IS Blue Cheer) was about 30 years ahead of his time with his punk metal attitude. And they were loud! I mean LOUD did I say LOUD???
Listening to them today, I realize what great band they were, ballsy, weird, innovative. But Dickie still has the band, I think Paul Whaley, the original drummer who was one of the first double bass hit the drums hard guys, is back. They played at this loca club a couple months ago, and ten jumped in their van on their way to new England somewhere. Dickie must be tough old bastard to be out there on the road like a kid.
1st big auditorium show.... I'd seen maybe 100 small acts in lounges, as well as played some gigs myself in our lil shitty band.... Even saw MC-5 in a local private womans college 2500 seat auditorium a month or so before I saw Cheer.... "course what really got senor set on his lifelong road to perdition was seeing Quicksilver at two free outdoor jams a few months before I saw either MC-5 or Cheer............ That, and just a "smidgeon" of sugarcubes and sunshine 'circa '67 :D :roll:
Never saw Quicksilver, but I tripped with the first album many times. I remember being down at Hoffman Park(perfect name for the hippie hang out) coming on to some potent tab that I had crushed and snorted and hearing Who Do You Love blasting on someones early 8 track and it being so perfect.
Never saw Quick :shock: :shock: ...... Snortin 'cid eh???? Ha, even senor never tried that..... (never liked anything nasally)..... "course, I must confess to mainlining some purple barrel one time.... It was crummy though... Musta been the reduction in potency from the heat as well as chlorine from the water...... Ah well,,,, live and learn........
It was quite a rush, but some of the binders and stuff were nasty. One guy had acid in a powder form, I'm sure it wasn't pure or anything, but a tiny line was a dose. Once I was boasting of my acidic prowess and he layed me out a massive dose ( he muttered "Veteran you say? We will see about that") I stumbled down to Hoffman Park, got my self lost in the nature area, though for a while I was sure I was on the moon.
Off track, here we come!
I'm pretty sure my first "big" show was a traveling group of duet singers made up of Tammy Wynette and George Jones, Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, as well as Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner.
I remember standing in line after the show with my mom and sister to get autographs on 8"x10" glossies of the performers in all their rhinestone glory.
Unfortunately, my parents didn't let me dose back then, but I'm sure I had a nicotine contact high going. It was the early 70's. Even respectable mothers used it as a gateway to mommies little helper....
Oh yeah... GD 10-19-73 in glorious HD on a new battery powered amp...
lw
mY first show was merl and the strangers whit some of the above mentioned gang at the seattle ophra house.
loved it mom and dad didnt let me dose either :cry:
bto at the local skating rink :lol:
it gets a little blurrrry from there.
jfurry
My first big rock show was The Rolling Stones at Sacramento Memorial Auditorium cap. 3300. Must have been 65 or 66, Tickets were $3.50. There were several opening acts including the Standells and the Stones played way less than an hour.
Oh, first big ROCK show, eh? Blue Oyster Cult with Brownsville Station opening.
lw
Not sure if Styx qualifies as rock, but I saw them in sixth grade for the Grand Illusion tour. Don't remember much... :lol:

Live at Winterland
I just turned sixty, so now I am officially, "stuck in the sixties".
Love the Pizza Tapes!! And Magical Mystery Tour!! And Live at Winterland!!
Today at my festival gig on the breaks I heard some great zydeco. Didn't catch artists names expect for local greats Mumbo Gumbo. Don't know if this was why but their keyboard/accordian player was subbing on drums for us. If you ever watched Northern Exposure, it was Mumbo Gumbo on the theme music.
Northern Exposure was about the only program on network TV that I've dug in the last 20 years. We recorded every episode on tape.
I be wanting to pick up Hendricks Live at Winterland. I bought his BBC sessions the other day. The mids and highs sound pretty good on that one, but there is little or no bottom end.
lw
Live at Winterland is great. Sounds like Jimi was surfing the acid wave that drove the Dead at Winterland.
Again today I listened to Zydeco all day on my breaks at the big crawdad orgy in Isleton. It's about as close to Mardi Gras as I wanna get. Average day today: they only had to send the lifeflight helicopter in once to get a fight victim out.
Dead - Reckoning -
Brings back memories...
They do a cover on this disc called "Monkey and the Engineer." Its a tune they played less than a handful of times over their entire career.
Anyway, one night in LA at the Forum I run into a friend from the dead scene named Monkey. There was nothing unusual about running into Monkey. I saw her at most every show, but always in the parking lot. Because up until that point, Monkey had never managed to get into a show. And I'm guessing she had been part of the rolling scene for at least a year at that point. But Monkey made it into her first show that night in LA. I saw her walk in the door and congratulated her right then and there. Then the show started and Monkey and the Engineer made its way into that gal's first set. The serendipity of that one about put me over the edge.

lw- idan reichel? i was addicted to a few of those songs last summer.
"Im telech" was one of them
(if you go, who's going to hug me,
who am i going to stand by the window waiting for....)
i've been listening to Amy Winehouse lately. Such a great voice, such a miserable state of body health.
hoping to open my channels to more serious listening - school's cranking down to a close.
yay! no deadlines!
Isn't Amy great!!! If just survives a few more years what wonders will she produce.
"The serendipity of that one about put me over the edge."
After a while in that world you start taking synchronisity for granted. don't if it happens more or you just get tuned in to the frequency.
LOL I was wondering if'n that reference might get you out of lurk mode, sistah-j. I stumbled onto idan reichel through a link on a reggae site awhile back.
I was just about going to finally buy Amy's disc with rehab on it the other day but stumbled unexpectedly into the jerry garcia material exclusive to Borders Books and there went my entertainment dollars for the week. poof! Like dat...
judih: Nothing to do with the topics above, but you should check out the movie "Once" if'n you get the chance. Mrs lw did awhile back and we both have become addicted to the soundtrack and the artists who made the movie/music. Anyway, an irish singer/songwriter meets a female pianist from eastern europe and they collaborate on a bunch of breakup tunes due to mutual personal circumstances. And one of their musician friends decided to make a movie about them. They did it on a shoestring budget and ended up winning an academy award for best original music and got nominated for a couple of grammies in the process. Check it out.
lw
I been watching Steely Dan 11 August 2003 on Youtube.
Mamas and Pappas, Procul Harem, Travelling Wilburys
Hero Of The Day by Metallica from Load
Taj Mahal compilation. Sly and the Family Stones Greatest Hits, Graham Central Station
I listen to some Monk from my cds now and then but mostly I listen to the radio. I'm cheap.
JRL likes to gig me when I make a tiny mistake like saying pbs instead of npr or fiddle instead of guitar. Pbs is tv and npr is radio, practically the same thing, right? In that spirit I'll point out that the title of this thread is misspelled, the final word should be "to" not "too"
Gotcha!
:wink:
Stoney relax man. I don't know about you but I am gonna try to get along.
Have you heard the Monk with Coltrane stuff that was released a while ago?
Bobby Womack, Sly & Family Stone
Monk & Coltrane :shock: --- Sounds tasty... Gimme some more info purdy pleeeze!!!!
Been listenig to Sly on the way home from Tahoe. I will dig up the name of that cd with Monk and Trane. It'e either John Coltrane with the Thelonius Mnk Quartet Or Monk with Trane's. Either way its a fine example of one of the golden eras of jazz.
JRL, that was supposed to be a joke. TV and radio being the same thing??? Your spelling was incorrect, if that's an attack then sue me.
Been listening to them classics of the 90s, blind melon and soundgarden just to name a few
Maybe my humor gland has atrophied. If it was a joke I apologize. I am not gonna fight with you.
Did I tell y'all my Bobby Womack story? Evere see the Comitmments? Its a movie about a fictional Irish R and B band. This old con artist trumpet player promises that he can get Wilson Pickett to their show. He never showed, noone believed the dude, the band broke up. But at the very end, a big caddy pulls up and Wilson Pickett says "I is this where the Commiments are playing and drives off.
Exact same thing: I was playing with Frankie Lee at the Boom Boom Room in SF across Geary from the Filmore, Frankie said Bobby Womack is at the Fillmore and he's coming across when he gets done. Never came in. Well I was the last one out, and I was loading my car and a big caddy pulled up, dude driving said, "Is Frankie Lee still here? Tell him Bobby came looking for him"

Wow. This is your brain on music!!
thanks for da Axis, JRL. Too much. My mind soars into the coda. I looped that once into a ten minute repeater, pumpin... 8)
Lately I be diggin Voodoo Soup, some really tasty Jimi licks and twangs.
I've been listening to the remastered version of Axis: Bold As Love, my favorite Hendrix record. 40 years later(could that be?) it still blows my mind every time. Jimi created a timeless world of magic that still takes me away..........
Jimi Live at Filmore East. Sounds great.
Thanks for the tip, jrl.
lw
Is that The Band of Gypsys? Or is there another one from the Fillmore?
Yep. The Band of Gypsies. And I'm really digging that configuration.
lw
I think the Cox-Miles rhythm section was really what Jimi had in mind with their deep R and B roots. Noel and Mitch, as good as they were, and they wouldn't have been with Jimi if they hadn't been good, were Chas Chandlers business decision. If Jimi had come out with an all black band, who knows if Anerica would have embraced him the way it did.
Heard an old Brit broadcast and interview of Ritchie Havens, last evening on the BBC.... Not very good fidelity, granted, but the surging vibes and energies made it really worthwhile...... "Clap your hands - clap your hands - Sometimes I feel like a motherless child"
I was just thinking about Richie Havens the other day. I really dug that little guy that played guitar with him.
Jimi and the Experienced Band of Gypsies - Berkeley, 5/30/70.
Steeldriver - self titled -
lw
Was that the Cox/Mitchell version of the Experience? I saw them prolly within a week either way from that date at the Cal Expo race track.
Jimi did not look good, maybe 15 years or more older than his 27 years. He looked alternately tortured and bored. Their already had been rumors of his death going around, as much as year before.
Bluze tonite!! The real shit: Sonny Boy Williamson and Elmore James
Timeless stuff, if you haven't heard it check it out. Spiritualy powerful. Sonny Boy is a free soul at play and Elmore's goin down fast. This is the blues I fell in love with 40 years ago and it still floors me everytime.
Yep. Cox/Mitchell.
The berkeley show sounds pretty good and has decent energy. But I could see how Jimi could get bored under those circumstances. The Fillmore East New Years Eve/New years sets were basically four sets in two nights where many songs were performed four times. (Jimi even jokes about the band only knowing eight or nine songs. ) But that format would get old quickly, imo. And the Berkeley gig showcased basically the same material.
One show per night, two sets per show would have given the dude some space to stretch out, maybe. Who knows. Dude apparently got bored easily on stage.
lw
Elmore and Sonny Boy!!!..... Prepare to be blissed out supremely... Have a great time bro.............
lw, I think Jimi's problems went "a little deeper than that". A lot of it was sheer exhaustion, his business was such a mess and so many people depended on him for the cash flow (sounds familar don''t it?) that he couldn't get off the road to reninvent himself.
He didn't play like someone who got bored easily. Or maybe he did, cause he was always looking to jam with people that would let him go somewhere else. What I wanna know is when are they gonna release the tapes of him and Miles? Also I heard of jams with John McGlauphlin.
One of da bredren sent me a DVD doc about the late great SF guitar player John Cippolina. He was a total gem and the epitome of the old Haight St vibe. It has great clips of John playing with Quicksilver and more clips of later bands he was in. Whatever band he was with, and he was usually in 5 or 6, he brought a whole other dimesion to. His guitar style which was entirely as distinctive as any of the other SF greats(Santana, Garcia, Jorma, Terry Haggerty) but not many have continued it.
I will post the name of it next time I watch it, it seemed a bit low budget, but really good.
Graceland- Paul Simon
I just stumbled upon this guy and I can't stop listening to him, ya'll should check 'em out. His name is Bon Iver you can hear his music at www.boniver.org (http://www.boniver.org) and www.myspace.com/boniver (http://www.myspace.com/boniver)

That old psychedelic chestnut: Aoxomoxoa
David Bazan = Excellent!!! www.myspace.com/davidbazan (http://www.myspace.com/davidbazan)
Oh and, Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Early Animals / Surfaris (yes, those guys) / Electric Alarm Clock /
The Surfaris!!! First record I ever bought was Surfer Joe b/w Wipeout! And maybe the third band I ever saw in person was the Surfaris at a shopping center opening.
Ron Wilson, the leader, drummer and singer of the Surfaris lived his last few years here in Nocal. He was a couch loving pot head who died a few years back. My drummer friend Booty met him and said "You're the guy that wrote Wipeout, I don't know if I should shake your hand or smack you silly"
:) --- As a drummer I can not tell you the number of times I have heard that inevitable shout out... "Drum Solo!!, Play Wipeout!!!" There finally came a time when I just flat out refused to play the thing... (I'd just spaek into the mike "How about the solo from Inna Godda Da Vida instead??" and then launch into it... I must say, I heard Wipeout playing at the grocery store the other day.. Had me smiling as I walked down the aisle...
I cut my teeth on surf music, even after the Beatles were all the rage. Here 180 miles from Surf City surfers and surfing were actually the pre hippie, pre Beatle long hair dope smoking acid eating rebels.
My brother got turned on to weed in 62 by a lengendary surfer type named Personious. They had to cross the river to West Sacramento to cop Prince Albert cans from scary Mexican gangsters.
Great back in da day stories, gents.
"Culture" - Why Don't You Trust Me?
lw
We got millions of 'em, bro
Through the magic of Youtube I have been checking out one of my old favorites: the LA band Spirit. I saw them a couple times in '68 at our local psychedelic ballroom, the Sound Factory.
My musical cohort Mr. Foster and I are on this mission to learn a unch of the great songs from the 60s figuring we already know a lifetimes worth of blues. Here is a smattering of tunes we have added to our book: Purple Haze, Wind Cries Mary, Foxy Lady, Here Comes the Sun, If I Fell, I Should Have Known Better, Jumpin Jack Flash,I Got A Line On You (by Spirit), Sweet Child of Mine(I realize its not from the 60s but its a cool song) and more. We plan to add one or 2 a week of tunes like these.
The challenge for us is to render these tunes that were heavily produced in a power trio format. And though the blues nazis give us funny looks we get a lot of good response and we are having a blast!!!
I've oft thought of tossing my derby into the ring one more time musically; doing much as you mentioned... senor has a certain fantasy 'bout selecting a series of tunes that mostly come from the mid-late 60's /even early 70's.. It would just have to be a blast to play 'em once again. let alone possibly being a bit of catalyst for ???? senor would be remiss if he did not tell bro JRL that he must not forget "Pride Of Man"... Gotta add that to the playlist, or it jess ain't Kosher!!!!!
Well yu know me Kosher at all costs. I love that first QMS record and Pride of Man kicks it off perfectly.
We are really having a blast playing these tunes. Besides the aformentioned ones, last night we played Day Tripper, Yes It Is, Natures Way and prolly some more I can't remember (we had copius amounts of the local Norcal foothills main cash crop).
Oh yeah, we also did that rave up rocker "I Saw Her Standing There"
What a bar band the Beatles must have been n their Hamburg days.
I just revisited Smile - Brian Wilson
My soul has just been kissed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Kan - Mustt Mustt
That's on of our favorite Nusrat discs.
We were lucky enough to catch him live before he died.
lw
I watched the incomparable Taj Mahal on Ovation TV in Taj Mahal Live from Santa Lucia. Taj's current band The Phantom Blues Band is so great. He's got Mike Finnegan of Electric Ladyland fame on B-3 organ.
Taj is, has been, and always will be one of my very favorite musicians.
His blending of so many traditions into a seamless whole is in my opinion where the leading edge of the world's music is these days, and no one does it better than Taj.
I saw him many times back in the day, with is first band, with the late great Jesse Ed Davis on guitar. The records they made still sound great today. Me and my rock guitar hero buddy Mr Foster cover Easy Rider and Six Days On the Road from Taj's first record. Great stuff!!
I've been listening to a lot of Snooks Eaglin that we use as break music at shows. Snooks is an old blind guitar player from New Orleans and really one of the best anywhere. Very eclectic, from Nawlins swamp to straight ahead jazz. Check him out!
The Love You Save-- Jackson 5
Junior Brown- Highway Patrol, My Wife Thinks Your Dead
Have been trying to break into the realm of underground hip hop lately and so far it's been a craps shoot. But I like Immortal technique, he is fricking amazing, though a bit angry prolly for most folks. And 'Sole is pretty good, so are the 'blue scholars, 'atmosphere and Dr. Octagon
Funny thing about music, if it's good, it's good. If it's not, their is just no accounting for taste. Right?
We've caught Junior Brown a couple of times. I was a little out of the loop the first time and prolly real lucky not to get busted for smoking da kine by all of the highway patrolmen in the audience.
lw
I opened for Junior once but couldn't stick around for the show, had to drive up to Truckee.
That boy sure can play the geetar!!!!
These daze its been Dylan, the Dead, reggae, repeat.......
Btw, picked up Dylan's latest awhile back. its slowly growing on me.

Back then, while the Dead were selling out large venues, riding the "Touch of Gray" wave, Jerry was still able to play intimate theaters that felt more like family affairs than mega-parties.

I saw Garcia/Saunders twice in the 70s, in a club that held maybe 500 people. Tickets were easy, prolly not even a sell out.
Been listening to the raw tracks that will hopefuly be the next Bayou Boys akbum, recorded live at the John Ascuaga's Rib Cook Off in Sparks NV. The sound man just rolled some discs with a quick mix, but I think if we do some creative editing and mastering we got another cheap CD to put out. Recording costs-$0.00
phish's reunion album, Joy, got some mighty nice songs on it...
A mix CD of Diana Krall tunes for a recording project. Some jazz standards and gems like Peel Me a Grape.
By the Light of the Moon-- Los Lobos
19 Greatest Hits--- The 4 Tops
JUst want to see if this works....

Ouch, a seven minute tambourine solo. And I thought you liked me.
No pain intended, bro. My first impression was that I was watching an asian shaman more than a musician, but I have been known to have a large imagination.
lw.
That was basically a tambourine joke, musician in joke stuff. It's amazing how a tambourine can kill a groove. Worst is the girls that come in the club packing tambourines. I have seen drummers come over their set ready to throttle.
The clip was actually pretty amazing. She's playing it like a tar with jingles.
Beatles, Beatles and more Beatles.
Did I mention the Beatles?
I don't think its a chick playing that riq, btw.
lw
My bad.
Speaking of tars......
I've been listening (and playing along on tar) to a disc called "Music of Upper and Lower Egypt as of late. And I've been drumming along on dumbek to a Tinariwen disc entitled Amassakoul. So, I guess you could say that I've been digging the rhythms of north Africa and have a desire to incorporate that style into the americana we be playing out locally.
lw
We got a new TV and a Netflicks account recently so I have been digging me some music vids. Last night it was The Last Waltz.
This has to be one of the very best concert videos ever. Catches all these great artists at the peak of their powers. Besides the Band tunes, especially anything Rick Danko sings, favorites were Joanie Mitchell and Muddy Waters.
But it's all good!!!
New TV and netflix via internet, by chance? Or just the regular mail order bidness?
We're looking to connect tv and internet one of these daze.
lw
Just be mail thus far.
Netflixs is the best entertainment deal going.
Have you seen Rockin the Red Dog yet?
NOpe. Not yet.
I will now, though. Thanks again ,I'm guessing.
lw
It's the absolute best film about the roots of the whole scene. The Red Dog in Virginia City is where the psychedelic dance-concert was invented. Then it migrated back to SF and the rest is hysteria.
Abbey Road....
Abbey Road: total masterpiece. I am quite obsessed with the lads. Been working on "Don't Let Me Down" to play with Everyman Jack this Sunday night.
Beatles: I want you (Shes so heavy)
Gawd, Abbey Road, whoosh!
Diggin my faves Revolver, Rubber Soul too.
Latest new disc, Prem Baba hinarios, pure inspiration. Viva Beija Flor!
The Beatles made 13 of the best records of all time in 7 years! We will not see their like again!
Lennon and Harrison live!!!!!!!!

Faith and the muse
On E day(Elvis's birthday) I watched a vid called Elvis on Tour. If any one doubts E's divine origin needs to check this out. It will make all of you into Presletarians like me.
Praise Elvis!!!
A bunch of Jeff Beck tunes off youtube: Cause We've Ended As Lovers, Freeway Jam, Led Boots, Diamond Dust.
I got a email from this guy Damon Jones who is a Beck fanatic and can play just like him. he wants to do some gigs. I got my work cut out for me........
Ziad Rahbani - "Bil Afrah"
I think they mat be Egyptian. ANyway, this is an old-school desert-folk hoe-down with oud, flute, violin, accordion, tambourine, fish skin hand drum, etc..
lw
Early Beatles- All I've Got to Do and You Really Got a Hold on Me. Prime Lennon as soul singer tracks, great arrangements, production and performance.
They must have been a hell of a bar band.
Helm: Inteen.....
JRL; Do you know Mark Bell from the Bay area? He's become an online friend of mine in the last while. He teaches and performs worldwide. I've been lucky enough to get some swell technical playing tips as well as a line on some good music. Anyway, Helm is one of grammy winner, Mark Bell's projects that just came in the mail and got its first listen. And I must say, its my kind of snake charming music....
lw
Never heard of that Mark Bell, had a friend by that name, but no relation.
NP: Stealin (Birth of the Dead)
"Awtar" by Ali Hassan.
This iraqi plays a mean oud. And I just read that there happens to be a young refugee from Iraq living in Iowa who has won a grant to return to Bagdad and study oud with Ali Hassan for a month.
lw

Most of my listening is "work oriented"
I have been "boning up" on some tunes for a reunion show of the Beer Dawgs,
the band I was in 86-95, my rock star years.
[url]http://www.myspace.com/beerdawgs/url
The show is on April 10th at the world famous Torch Club in downtown Sacramento. We are on at 2 PM.
"Madar" by Samer Farah and Faisal Zedan
Most of my listening as of late has also been "play oriented." (Could turn into work oriented.) I've been feeding the gat man a steady diet of middle eastern acoustic music. Next thing I know, he's learning arabic chords and progressions and things are starting to heat up.
The guitar slinger and I took a trip up to Ames the other night for a session with another friend on stand up bass. We all see a lot of potential, and are looking to make it a regular thing. (It took a "Blackbird" to get the teenage daughters into the basement for a listen.) I think the power of the Beatles over today's teens is just amazing.
Still pondering names... "Ricky and the Nuckel Draggers" and "The Unitards," are my current faves. hehe
lw
Not just teens, I have a 7 year old bass player student who came to his first lesson wanting to learn Hey Jude, the we did Drive My Car and many more.
I love band names, I used to have big lists of the best and worst. One of my favorites: The Grateful Dead Kennedys.
names i have toyed with or used: The Cheap Substitutes(my agent hated that), Organic Chemistry(lasted a year or so)
Beet the Meatles( a vegan band?) the Hip Replacements.... but now I just call it Joe Lev and Friends. I actually have a gig at a retirement community next week, I guess that's our new demographic. JL&F gigs don't happen a lot so i am jazzed.
LOL The wife has a family friend with children. After hearing one was a big beatles fan, I began making copies of discs for the kid when my wife would go for a visit. Then he actually sent me a disc of trance drum mixes that I've listened to more than once. Turns out the kid is only like 8 years old. hahahahha (I thought it was her teen aged boy.)
lw
Just got back from the gig and we listened to two CDs by Johnny A as we drove the 120 mile round trip. Johnny A is a transcendental guitar genius who seems to have the entire history of guitar playing as the palate he draws from. There is nothing a guitar can do that he can't make it do as well as anyone has ever. We were trying to trace his influences: Chet Atkins, Jimi Hendrix, all blues guys, The Ventures, spaghetti westerns, Wes Montgomery, country pickers of all sorts, John Scofield, 60's soundtrack stuff, Allman Bros, San Francisco psychedelia and on and on.
He just might be the best guitar player on the planet, check him out. He only has 2 cds out, didn't get well know till he was in his 50s.
GD 87-3-1
3-1-87, eh? I was there.
Everyone was happy to see jerry back in action and he didn't disappoint.
Glad to see you getting into some shows from the 80's brawh.
Btw, does that show feature a Harley on stage getting the shit revved out of it during Hell in a Bucket?
lw
Thats one of the shows we saw the DSO do. I think the Harley was the next night.
Maybe no harley that run....
My friends the biker band the Fryed Brothers have a recording of a Harley that they subliminally bleed into the big drum solo.
A bootleg of Phil Lesh sitting in with The Black Crowes at the Fillmore.
Don't have the exact date here in the house(discs still in car) but a Phil and Friends show from 2007 with Warren and John Scofield.
Blow By Blow --- Jeff Beck
Something Else! --- Cannonball Adderly
