moondog

Moondog was the alias of Louis T. Hardin (May 26, 1916 – September 8, 1999). He was a New York City street musician and former beat poet who was blinded as a young adult. From the late 1940s until 1974, he was a permanent fixture, busking on 54th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan. He was known not only for his music and poetry, but also for the distinctive Viking garb that he wore, including a horned helmet. He routinely gave away copies of his work to anybody who would take them. In this way, he came to the attention of producer James William Guercio, who took him into the studio to record an album, released as Moondog (1969) on the CBS label. The track Stamping Ground, with its odd preamble of Moondog saying one of his epigrams, was featured on the sampler double album Fill Your Head with Rock. A brief phrase of another track on the album, Bird's Lament (In memory of Charlie Parker) was sampled by Mr. Scruff as the basis for his 7-minute track Get a Move On. A second album produced with Guercio, and featuring both him and Moondog's daughter as vocalists, contained song compositions in the forms of canons and rounds. It did not make an impression on popular music as the first had. The two CBS albums were re-released as a single CD in 1989. via Year of Release: 1969 Label: CBS Genre: Classical/Experimental Bitrate: 256kbps Track List: 1. Theme 2. Stamping Ground 3.

"Question Mark recorded this album in 1974 in Kenya, the land safari parks, of elephants & lions. 5 musicians, all English vocals, heavy fuzz guitar, 8 freakin tracks. If you think BLO and WITCH where great African albums, you will love this one. It beats most bands from Africa such as OFEGE, CHRISSY ZEBBY, RIKKI ILILONGA and MACK SIGIS PORTER, unless you are only into African rhythms and chanting. This album has mostly western style songs with great and heavy guitar sounds all over but with an strong African touch of course." A1 Have You?

#1 and the amputees friend

Malcolm Smith XXXXXXX BEEEP>#*@&#%/ EDIT /Mert Lawwill from 'On Any Sunday' Mert's career included 17 National championship wins from TT events to the big daddy of them all ‚"The Mile." However Mert is probably most well known today for his role in the iconic movie "On Any Sunday" that was on the silver screen back in 1970. If you have not seen this film do yourself a favor and rent it or better yet pick up your own copy as more than likely you will watch it more than once! In 1964, Harley-Davidson recognized Lawwill's burgeoning talent and signed him to a factory contract. Lawwill would stay with Harley-Davidson for the rest of his career. (riding street, dirt, trials, etc. all on Harley) no HOGS. Mert Lawwill's 1969 Harley-Davidson KR750 After a career-ending crash in 1967 that cost him his arm, Factory Harley-Davidson team racer Chris Draayer called on his teammate, the legendary Mert Lawwill, to build him an adequate prosthetic hand for riding his motorcycle. mh Lawwill built a single prototype prosthetic as a favor for his friend Draayer that carried him through eight years of riding and racing without incident. More recently, articles featuring Chris Draayer and his ‚Äúone and only of it‚Äôs kind‚Äù handlebar attachment had fellow one-armed cyclists calling on Lawwill to head back to the machine shop. Mert fine-tuned his original design and prepared for quantity production with the collaboration of DKG machine shop owner Dave Garoutte. Well known for fabricating products for the bicycle and motorcycle industries, DKG has been in the business since 1978. The result is the updated Mert Lawwill Quick Release Handlebar Attachment for both above and below elbow amputees. Visit http://www.mertshands.org

good and bad moments

ecause Dylan wrote such dense and distinctive songs, covering his work necessarily involves as much impersonation as interpretation. In fact, the best songs on I'm Not There are the ones where the artists seem to be having a great time being Bob. Chan Marshall mimics his cadences on "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again", and her pronunciation of the world "mama" is one of the album's best moments. Craig Finn sings "Won't You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" with a chuckle in his voice, as the Hold Steady relocate the song to the Minneapolis streets of Separation Sunday. And Stephen Malkmus, who gets a whopping three tracks, gives some of his best and weirdest performances since going solo. The cast of I'm Not There is admirably diverse, mixing relative newcomers like Karen O and Mason Jennings with veterans like Willie Nelson, whose despairing "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)", from 1978's Street Legal, is a good argument for a full-length collaboration with Calexico. Roger McGuinn's voice has aged considerably over the years, but he sounds both surefooted and surprisingly tender on "One More Cup of Coffee", another perfect match with Calexico. And Richie Havens' uniquely jumpy energy jolts "Tombstone Blues", surpassing mere imitation and ratcheting up its wordy tension. Perhaps it's a testament to the potency of his peculiarities-- rather than to the strength of his convictions-- that Dylan's songs are so successfully coverable in so many different styles. They're challenging undertakings, but possible, inspiring varying degrees adventurousness in some artists and reverence in others. Despite a stellar backing band (including members of Sonic Youth and Television), Eddie Vedder's "All Along the Watchtower" sounds just like every other version of the song and Mason Jennings can't do anything with the iconic "The Times They Are a'Changin'" other than render it faithfully. It's a crazy, mixed-up world, though, when Jack Johnson's medley of "Mama, You've Been on My Mind/A Fraction of Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie" has more smarts and soul than Sufjan Stevens' "Ring Them Bells", which begins as a fairly uninspired cover but sails off into a tediously overwritten coda that strains patience and good will. But that's really the only truly objectionable track on this long album, which sounds much better on your stereo than it did on paper. With so many different types of musicians contributing to these 34 songs, I'm Not There could have turned out like so many inconsistent and forgettable tribute soundtracks-- listened to once or twice, then shelved for eternity-- but instead it plays like a real album, focused on the music and leaving the myth to the movie. — Stephen M.

I'm sure that many of you are already tuned in to what Exotica Music is and is all about. For those who are not, however, allow me to introduce The King. Martin Denny invented the genre and he did it all by himself. People like to point out that Les Baxter wrote the song "Quiet Village" in 1951, but it was Denny who recorded the Quintessential "Quiet Village" in 1957. And he did it on his own terms, with his own band and with his own bird calls. This record came out four years into the Exotica craze in 1961. Percussion was a big thing about that time, so Exotic Percussion was just natural. The instruments listed as having been used on this record include: Tuned Burmese Gongs, Wood Chimes, Steel Chimes, Samisen, Magna Harp, Celeste, Celestette, Ipo, Marimba, Bongos, Wind Chimes, Vibes, Piccolo Xylophones, Marimbula and Everyone's Favorites, of course, BOO BAMS!!! via 1. My Tane (My Man) 2. Cumana 3. Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise 4. Day Delight 5. Moonlight on the Ganges 6. Cherokee (Indian Love Song) 7. Misirlou 8. Anna 9. Song of the Bayou 10. Moonlight and Shadows 11. My Shawl 12. The Girl Friend of the Whirling Dervish ... at this time, it feels necessary to say that there is no obsession with exotica in the way of the trend that flooded lp stores with selling this vinyl for too much $ as well as why certain folks listen to it. this is music plain and simple. not a kitschy movement of hipsters with clever wit. if you can't see 'Moonlight on the Ganges' on a mix tape next to 'Pale Blue Eyes' etc. then, well... sorry.

Zaireeka for Mobile Phones?

Last month, Flaming Lips leader Wayne Coyne announced that the band planned to release a free new song every month in 2011. Now, Coyne tells Spin that the band has plenty of other cool stuff in the works this year. First: A collaboration with chillwave don Neon Indian. Coyne tells Spin that the band is going to New York to work on tracks with Neon Indian and longtime producer Dave Fridmann, and they want to release the music as quickly as possible: "We're going to do two or three songs with him, and that shit should be ready to go pretty quickly. I have a couple of tunes that he's heard, and we'll just do that shit and fix that up and fuck around together." Coyne recently posted a demo of a track that may become a Neon Indian collab. Coyne also tells Spin that he'd like to record similar collaborations with bands like Deerhoof and Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffitti. The band is also getting together a big vinyl box set, Heady Nuggs: The First 5 Warner Bros. Records, 1992-2002, hopefully out in time for Record Store Day. (The Flaming Lips Tweeted a photo of the cover earlier this week.) And even more excitingly, the band is working on a phone-based reissue of Zaireeka, the 1997 album that many fans have still never properly heard. Zaireeka was originally released on four CDs, intended to be played simultaneously on four different CD players. (Pitchfork's own Mark Richardson wrote a book about the record.) For the reissue, the album will play simultaneously on four different cell phones. Coyne tells Spin that the phone version of Zaireeka will be out in the next 10 days. Below, Coyne and bandmate Steven Drozd demonstrate how the reissue will work, proving in the process that it could be even more difficult to cue the record up on cell phones as it was to get all four CD players playing at the same time: more.. Quite stoned.

liner notes: A visitor to a plush New York cafe commented wonderingly upon leaving: "I always thought I'd forgotten how to dance. But it wasn't me -- it was the music. I couldn't follow it. Now the things those three people play -- well, I can dance to that, all right." "Those three people" were The Three Suns, and the compliment wasn't unusual. For twenty years the trio has been turning out bright, bouncy music with a strong rhythmic beat that is perfect for dancing and/or just plain pleasant listening. This album is, in fact, by way of being a 20th anniversary package -- it contains an even dozen of the trio's most popular tunes of the past two decades. But something new has been added: they have all been freshly recorded in "Living Stereo" to keep pace with the current era of faithful sound reproduction. Originally the group consisted of a Hammond organ, guitar and accordion, but for some numbers the threesome has added to the instrumentation. Peg O' My Heart, for instance, has a celeste and a vibraphone in this arrangement; you'll hear twin pianos in The Petite Waltz and Jet. And the addition of bass and drum is new to the group for these numbers. But the basic personality of The Three Suns' music remains unchanged. It's still the same mellow, non-jangling style that has resisted -- and outlived -- all the freak music fads over the years. The trio hit the big time at the Piccadilly Circus lounge in New York. They were virtually unknown when they began a two week engagement. They stayed for seven years, and finally left to answer the tremendous demand for their services from hotels, theaters and night clubs across the country. Their theme song, Twilight Time -- written by the Suns themselves -- became their first million-record seller. A knowledgeable man in the music industry pays them this tribute: "They make more music than any other three men in the business. More important, they helped popularize the small groups in hotel dining rooms, and it's now a common thing." And, if you'd like a further testimonial you might ask Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower, who once named them her favorite recording group. But it's purely non-political listening pleasure you'll get from this album. MARTIN BURDEN The New York Post The Three Suns - Twilight Memories (1960) 1. Twilight Time (3:12) 2.

the three suns must've been pretty big in south africa to warrant this local pressing from the fifties. i know little about them, apart from that "moving and grooving" is a space age milestone. this lp has their soothing accordians, and mostly has a feel of the islands. i associate it with "the versatile mancini." Of course the theme is around the world so we are also treated to arabic moments and full on space age hifi action. via 01 - come back to sorrento 02 - in a persian market 03 - lady of shangri-la 04 - a song of old hawaii 05 - blue bells of scotland 06 - the sheik of araby 07 - galway bay 08 - in a little spanish town 09 - on a little street in singapore 10 - mexican hat dance 11 - far away places 12 - song of india 13 - alouette 14 - londonderry air 15 - hindustan 16 - bali ha'i 17 - april in portugal 18 - viennese refrain ... i am still searching for the KING of all suns LP's online.
