What are you listening to? (7)
October 29, 2009 - 8:18am
The last thread was getting long, hence this new one. I've been listening to old Arlo Guthrie tapes (as well as a lot of other stuff) when I discover Arlo played last night in Ottawa, and has a concert tonight (22nd) at The Outrement Theatre, Montreal. I'd love to be there but it's impossible for me. I saw Arlo in a PBS special live in concert with Pete Seeger not long ago - that was quite good. Arlo and his entourage were also in Oakville earlier this week.
Ooops!!!! Tonight is the 29th, not the 22nd. My bad. Anyway, the Arlo concert is tonight.
Neil Young, Live at Massey Hall 1971
Excellent album, Scott.
I'm listening to Miles davis, Morpheus as I type.
I'm listening to Billy Bragg podcasts in preparation for his Upcoming concert in Victoria, BC.
My boys taped his appearance on Kids CBC. Really wish he'd come to Saint John.
You're not far from genuine Canadian folk music of a wide and rich variety. Minus one who was recently killed by coyotes.
Alex Cuba! love, love, love his stuff.
Blondie-- In The Flesh
Rare Earth - The Millenium Collection This is a band I saw perform in Ottawa's Civic Centre around 1971 or maybe earlier, can't remember the exact year. Rare Earth was the first white group signed by Motown, were a fantastic boogie band, with some good studio recordings as well. I liked them better than Humble Pie, another boogie band that was awesome. The best album by Rare Earth is "Live In Concert", one of the best pure boogie albums to come out of the 1960s, and unfortunately out of print, with used albums going for as much as $100. This album contains some great Rare Earth signature songs such as "I Just Want to Celebrate" and "Get Ready". When I was a teenager in Ottawa in the 1960s, I saw a lot of really great bands at the Civic Centre, and a lot of folk, blues, and rock performers at the old Le Hibou coffee house. God, I miss the '60s (and the '70s as well).

[Hook]
I'm grabbing grain, in the turning lane
And I gotta maintain (cause the law behind me)
I've tried to leave the game, I know I need to change
(I need to resco' again) meet me on Fondren & Main
[Z-Ro]
I was a superstar at seventeen
Famous in the ghetto, for working a triple beam
Somebody told me it was destiny, for me to suffer
Cause when the going gets rough, it only gets rougher
I had to make a quick change from Lunchables, and a spot on the bus
To eating at Papa Deauxx everyday, and a Suburban with bump
I got the game from my partna, but all he told me was Ro
Before you get your feet wet partna, you better be sho
If you get caught it's Penitentiary time, understand
Fronted me nine, and now we got the hottest on the van
My grandmother knew what it was doing, because my pockets stuck out
And plus she told me I love you, but get your shit out my house
All I ever wanted to do, was just shine a little
Bump and grind a little, and then recline a little
Trying to protain, lavish have it like the H.A.W.K
You need another zone then I'm on my way, because I'm trapped in the game
[Hook]
[Dougie D]
Well I done came from crumbs to bricks
While I'm hustling up in the city streets
On the block of Fondren and Main, coppers know where the killas be
When I get out I'm gonna make me a change
The whole situation, seemed a bit strange
Everybody wanna die, somebody brain
Dougie D, trying to collect a little change
And grip the grain, swang turning lanes
With a whole bunch of hoes, yelling out my name
Pop trunk open wide, up in down South mayn
And when I work the wood, I lean on maintain
Or put it on your brain, ain't worried bout a damn thang
Without leaving this shit, and everybody need to change
But plus again, ain't worried bout a damn thang
Set up shop, up on Fondren and Main
[Taz]
I wish I was the one with the top down
In a chromed out Benz, with all my friends
Bank account, with unlimited ends
Gripping, I ain't sweating the rent
The only problem is, I'm a FED fella
With no intentions on, taking a loss
And everytime I see the law, my heart pauses
Riding dirty, everytime I'm flossing
I got tossed in the game, at a early age
Trying to push pounds and tons
Looking for fortune and fame
Through the smoke of my Mary Jane
Trying to control the game
Instead of trying to find another way to stay paid
I was stuck at a materialistic stage
Now I have a piece and chain, with expensive shades
Trying to resco' again, now I got two chances
I could pay the cost, and everyone they take a loss
So when the laws come, shake em off
Headed for the border man, I'm making it cross
Or I could break off a tight job, and do it right this time
Is you crazy baby, I gots to grind

"bein free is like bein on lock, niggas still kick it with ya but try to get some of what you got"
DAMMM u tellin me that aint true? lol
Yeah, I'm telling you that. There's nothing there. No truth, no significant meaning. Just a little self-absorption, and too much consumerism.

Wu Tang - C.R.E.A.M.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjZRAvsZf1g
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C.R.E.A.M. get...)
Yeah, check this ol fly shit out
Word up
(Cash Rules Everything Around Me) Take you on a natural joint
(C.R.E.A.M. get the money) Here we here we go
(dolla dolla bill y'all) Check this shit, yo!
Verse One: Raekwon the Chef
I grew up on the crime side, the New York Times side
Staying alive was no jive
Had second hands, moms bounced on old man
So then we moved to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo rockin the gold tooth, 'Lo goose
Only way, I begin to G' off was drug loot
And let's start it like this son, rollin with this one
And that one, pullin out gats for fun
But it was just a dream for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smokin woolies at sixteen
And running up in gates, and doing hits for high stakes
Making my way on fire escapes
No question I would speed, for cracks and weed
The combination made my eyes bleed
No question I would flow off, and try to get the dough off
Sticking up white boys in ball courts
My life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater
Times is rough and tough like leather
Figured out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick tight clique and went all out
Catchin keys from across seas
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's
Yo brothas respect mine, or anger the tech nine
Ch-POW! Move from the gate now
Chorus (2X): Method Man
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C.R.E.A.M.
Get the money
Dollar, dollar bill y'all
Verse Two: Inspectah Deck
It's been 22 long hard years and still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm alive on arrival
I peep at the shape of the streets
And stay awake to the ways of the world cause shit is deep
A man with a dream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M.
Which failed; I went to jail at the age of 15
A young buck sellin drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not touch
The court played me short, now I face incarceration
Pacin', going up state's my destination
Handcuffed in back of a bus, 40 of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
But as the world turns I learned life is Hell
Living in the world, no different from a cell
Everyday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base
Smokin bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not depressed
But I'm still depressed, and I ask what's it worth?
Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained working hard may help you maintain
to learn to overcome the heartaches and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
and stray shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I be living proof
To kick the truth to the young black youth
But shorty's running wild, smokin sess, drinkin beer
And ain't trying to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected for now, but yo, it gots to be accepted
That what? That life is hected
Chorus -- 3X
Cash Rules Everything Around Me
C.R.E.A.M.
get the money
Dolla dolla bill y'aauhhhaaaauhhhhahhhauhhhhll, YEAH
yee RIP ODB
I love dat tracc aint listented to it in awhile tho I was bumpin ODB today tho
O baby I like it rawwwww lol
edit - Boom Boom if all u heard of Ro is what I recently posted I cu. Go listen to other shit like No Help, T.H.U.G, and other shit he got some deep ass shit u know.
But Wu tang is better regardless.
lol manz still debate whoz verse was better Rae and Decc both come hard. Raez verse is more personal and Decc takes it to a next level u know but still this shit is classic. I think Deccz verse overshadowz Raez cuz itz second I wanna try n see how it would sound if it was reversed u never know.
Alrighty then!
That's interesting about the reverse thing Rexdale_Punjabi. Decc definitely hit it at the end but I'll think about that with Raeqwon second.
Z-Ro - Let The Truth Be Told
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tDMxT3s6BM
2nd verse dont deserve to be on the tracc Hook]
Time to let the truth be told, it ain't no brighter days
Cause when it all unfolds, a nigga gon just pass away
These haters, trying to stop my grind
But I bet them hoes, can't block my shine
So tired of taking losses, not this time
I can't save the whole world, I'm just trying to look out for mine
[Z-Ro]
I been getting a lot of exposure lately, on niggaz songs and in they videos
Cause they know I'm a O.G., not an original gangsta but an organized general
They see me pulling up in my 300 banging, gators on my feet and jewelry dangling
Everybody love the way I look on the outside, but inside I be paining
Is it ever gonna stop raining, nothing but thunderstorm clouds hover above me
Shit I use to break my back to make sure my niggaz was straight, but they still don't love me
That's why it's no more pain on my lower arm, and one deep tatted on my other arm
If you see me looking in y'all direction, I'm not about to speak fin to do you motherfuckers harm
Got seventeen albums and they all selling, so tell me why the fuck my pockets ain't swelling
Ain't never did nothing to nobody, that didn't have it coming to 'em bitch I'm a felon
Feel like I was failing God tell me when I'm gon win, you know when I'm blessed you know when I'm gon sin
You were there at the beginning of my days, I'm just hoping I see you after all my days end
And I don't give a damn what these people say, half the people in the church got evil ways
I was just looking to make a lil' scrilla, but it turned a lil' Christian into a lil' killer
From label to label and gun to rifle, it's a forward march ain't no time to retreat
If you able to save a nation go 'head, but I'm struggling to get myself some'ing to eat
fucc I was thinkin of bolding the reales lines but might as bold everything lol
on top of that boom boom all I can say is u mentioned that ur 50 something or some shit. So, ur a old ass white dude obv u aint gonna understand shit. Why I feel dis shit? Think about it like dis wa 2-3 dayz if 1 of the niggas never knew da face n if a nigga never thrown somethin dis lil nigga wouldnt be posting on this I would be posting from the devilz doorstep.
Do u c me? Dont come n talk to me bout this or that if u aint never put no work in and never been thru shit. When I think I cud killed anytime literally It dont even faze no more I got used to it. Cuz Itz been like that since day 1 dont believe me? Lol go bacc to where Im from ur ass could still get blown up by a land mine like one of my many niggas RIP.
And thats why I dont give a shit.
Go and even hold a k then come talk ull be where I was b4 I came to dis country ull be at the level I was at as a kid.
Like shit white boi u really dont know.
So move off dis NEXT.

Rexdale Punjabi is disrupting threads where I post, that's what. He's either a troll, or just a jerk.
Rexdale_Punjabi, you can't talk to people like that. I'm closing your account.
Too bad.
I was hoping he'd be able to figure things out and settle in. I thought he had something to contribute, and that there was much he could learn here.
I'm listening to the chainsaws trimming half the canopy off of the 120 year old manitoba maple out back.
Never heard of that group. Whatever happened to nice names, like 'The Cowsills', and 'The Bay City Rollers'.
A recent Channel 4 documentary, Who Got The Rollers' Millions?, explored the speculation about what happened to the supposed financial fortune the group generated in their career, with accusations that it was defrauded from the group by their management and record company. There are claims that the group sold 100-300 million records and generated the equivalent of five billion pounds in revenue, with the band members themselves earning very little.[1] [2] [3]. According to BBC they sold 70 million records. However, even this figure has been disputed by several sources, not least their former record company.[1].
In March 2007, six former members of the group (Faure plus the "classic line-up") announced a lawsuit against Arista Records in hopes of claiming what they describe as "tens of millions of dollars" of unpaid royalties. Nobby Clark has threatened to sue the other band members if their lawsuit is successful, stating that he was the creative force behind the band's success, despite the fact that he left the group in 1973 before the bulk of their fame and fortune began.[2] [3]

And I've been searching high and low for Daffy Duck singing the Beatles Birthday song but no luck. It starts out quick tempo just like the Beatles version, and then breaks down from there into nothin but laffs. You thhhay it'th your birthhhday??
Just noticed I no longer have the Plastic Ono Band Live In Toronto LP recorded I think in 1969. Is there a good recording of "Give Peace A Chance" on CD anywhere?
Amy Winehouse...Back to Black..."Me & Mr. Jones"
Ellen Foley - Spirit of St. Louis.
Good voice, and the Clash was her back-up band on this one. They wrote half the album, too. Atypical tunes though - written specifically for her, I imagine.
JB..."I Feel Good!"
Was (Not Was): I feel better than James Brown
Was (Not Was): I feel better than James Brown
I can't imagine that...but I'll try...'just a little bit harder'...
I'm playing the Stone's Forty Licks on my laptop and listening through headphones. I've had this album a few years, but never heard it on headphones before - it's awesome this way!
Just finished watching and listening to all four hours of "The 25th Anniversary Concert for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" at MSG, NY. I've been to the Hall of Fame in Cleveland (2002). Concert highlights for me included performances by BB King, Stevie Wonder, Simon and Garfunkle, Dion, Sam Moore, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Riatt, Jeff Beck, John Fogerty, Mick Jagger, Crosby Stills & Nash. There were a lot of performers I never ever got into such as Bruce Springsteen (although his band was awesome tonight), Metallica, Ozzy Osborne, U2, Sting, and a bunch of other performers whose names escape me. Lou Reed performed with Metallica of all things - he was better with the Velvet Underground.
Saturday Night Blues (recorded).
The Best of Jesse Winchester - and especially The Brand New Tennessee Waltz. I saw Winchester play at the Le Hibou Coffee House in Ottawa in the 1970s.

Great song! Great video too.

I'm listening to "Gunsmoke" on http://cfcr.ca/
Matt Dillon is bing played by William Conrad, that big guy who drove a big Ford Lincoln Continental on Cannon in the early 70s.
Last three songs to play
Hero of War - Rise Against
Hammerhead- Offspring
Opiate- Tool
Going to see Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker soon. Listening to Satisfy You currently.
Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi - from the CD: Films About Ghosts
Peaches - 'Fatherfucker' (album)
Kraftwerk - Minimum/Maximum (2-disc live album)
I saw them years ago at the Ricoh Centre here in T.O. That was a very good show.
Neon Indian's really cool album "Psychic Chasms"
It reminds me a bit of the Peter, Bjorn and John album "Writer's Block", but is far more reliant on the electronic. A smooth listen, some particularly catchy tracks include 'Should have taken acid wtih you' and 'deadbeat summer'. I'd really suggest getting this album and giving it a listen.
Also of note is Surfer Blood's first(???) album, Astrocoast, which is full of great and crunchy licks. I got hooked on the song 'Catholic Pagans' and haven't looked back.
John Coltrane's Blue Train (1957). Wow, could he blow.
"Let's Just Get Naked" - from the album relish (1995) by Joan Osborne (ex-lead singer for the Grateful Dead). It's loud.
Brian Eno Before and After Science. It is soft.
Eta: I'm now listening to Another Green World by Eno. A mature student lemt them to me yesterday. Turns out we went to the same junior high school at the same time. He is a year older than me.
Martha Wainwright (2005) (self-titled CD) It's a great album, but my ears hurt when she does "Bloody Mother F***ing Asshole". Her version of "Ball and Chain", "This Life", "When The Day Is Short", and "Whither Must I Wander", on the other hand, are sublime, wonderful listening experiences. I have her new album on order, should be here in a few days. I'm in such awe over this musical family - her father, mum, brother, and aunt, and even the extended family are superb musicians.
I stumbled on this video accidentally looking for a live version of Poor Poor Pitiful Me by Warren Zevon, but it is also attached to an absolutely killer cover of Cadillac Ranch. It was one of those 'holy shit!' moments when I heard the song.

Thanks lepidoptera, and welcome to babble!
radiorahim and I are taking turns playing YouTube tunes on the power speakers he has on his desktop computer. Here are our most recent selections (not necessarily in the order played):
Him: Heart of Glass - Blondie
Me: Rebel Rebel - David Bowie
Him: I feel love - Donna Summer
Me: Reminiscing - Madison Avenue (seriously, this is an AMAZING cover of this song, I love it)
Him: Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies
Me: Mad Donna - T. Rex
Him: Beast of Burden - Rolling Stones
Me: Telegram Sam - T. Rex
Him: Dirty Boulevard - David Bowie and Lou Reed
Me: 20th Century Boy - T. Rex
Him: More than a Woman - Bee Gees
Me: I just want to be your everything - Andy Gibb (it was revenge)
Him: Reminiscing - Little River Bed
Me: September Morn - Neil Diamond (don't ask.)
Him: Get Back - Beatles
There may have been dancing, but we're not telling. :D
I just watched another incredible episode of Elvis Costello's "Spectacle" on CTV - last year he had the best concert performance ever from Rufus Wainwright and his mum Kate McGarrigle, and tonight he has Jesse Winchester singing "The Brand New Tennessee Waltz" - one of my my favourite songs, ever - I saw Winchester perform it live at Ottawa's Le Hibou coffee house on Sussex around 1970. Lots of memories flooding back tonight.
Also on the program with Elvis were Sheryl Crow (she was great!), Neko Case, and Ron Sexsmith.
Sheryl Crow IS amazing. Thanks! That'll be my next selection, Boom Boom! She does an amazing version of Cohen's Hallelujah.
He's playing this really neat version of Good Morning Starshine by Serena Ryder.
I had never heard her before. I'll be looking for an album by her.
Yeah, I like it too! I'll also be looking for Madison Avenue. They seem amazing! I found that version of Reminiscing while looking for a rap song with the licks and chorus from that song sampled in it. Never found the rap song, but that one's great!
We've been playing some of Heart's live stuff now, like Mother Earth Blues/You Shook Me and Unchained Melody. Which of course "Led" us to Zeppelin's You Shook Me. (It's like, Heart's a gateway drug to Zeppelin.)
radiorahim just played Back on the Chain Gang by the Pretenders and now he's playing Perfect by Fairground Attraction. I hadn't heard that last one before I met him, but I'm hooked!
Edited to add:
Okay, we've moved on to Patsy Cline - I Fall to Pieces, and Crazy. Which of course, led to Tammy Wynette: D.I.V.O.R.C.E. and Stand By Your Man.
And then we discovered, in related videos, Stand By Your Man by, believe it or not, The Blues Brothers, and the Dixie Chicks!
Michelle, my last gf lived in Winchester, Virginia, birthplace of Patsy Cline, and I spent a summer there, and have a couple of Patsy Cline souvenirs from my visit to her birth home and the store built around it. Winchester is a beautiful small city, home to the Annual Apple Blossom Festival, and probably the longest summer parade in the world of fire trucks. I have her Greatest Hits album and play it often.
Speaking of Winchester, I've seen Jesse Winchester perform live in a small venue almost 40 years ago and hearing him again last night makes me want to build up my collection of Jesse Winchester albums (I have four).
Can anyone recommend which Sheryl Crow album to buy? She sang "Leaving Las Vegas" last night, but I don't have any desire to hear it again. She's a beautiful woman - almost reminds me of the young Joni Mitchell - with a great singing voice, but I'd like to hear her on some better lyrics.

Still the constant #*&^%# harp music. I was hoping for better when Frank Zappa got here, but I think he's waiting for Captain Beefheart to join him, then they'll really start cookin'!
I saw Zappa and Beefheart at the same concert in Ottawa around 1968, maybe a bit later.
Did they do "Muffin Man?"
I know people who turn up their nose at Zappa and say they prefer Beefheart, because Zappa's too [strictly?] commercial.
I never saw Frank, but did manage to see Dweezil last summer, and had a blast singing along with Inca Roads and Montana. It was a little disconcerting to see all those old fat guys in the audience, though.
They did all the stuff they're known for - up to that point in time. Was a long time ago, can't remember which songs they did.
