It wasn't about 1983. You don't hear the penny whistle break in Fool? This is a lot of in a tree house, sun filtering thru the leaves sounding stuff. Kids outside at recess stuff. Banana seat 4th grade Saturday morning stuff. YT "Bedrock Rockers (an animated band on the Flintstones' Pebbles & Bamm Bamm segment) being with you and Sunshine Man and especially Summertime Girl. It's some of David Gates' best work. Never mind, I'll do it for you when I get back home. You're not the first not to get my happy tastes. I started a thread asking what people heard, using three or four of these. No one got it and the thread died miserably.
Artist I've rediscovered: Gary Davis. I first heard this musician on a mix by Flying Lotus (Lovers Melt II, which has been a go to for romantic evenings). He only released one album, then decided to make gangster movies. This album though, is brilliant. I was 23 years old and all I know is I was devouring anything Flying Lotus suggested. Gee Dee: Perfect music for skateboarding at sunset in a park on near a body of water. Every time I hear this I imagine myself biking or skating along the Detroit riverfront at sunset. Stay With Me: First song I heard by him. Just knew it was different when that's the opening track on that Flying Lotus mix.
I always love this phrase. Depending on the situation, one can draw the inference that it means "everyone has their own tastes" or "go ******** yourself."
Photograph- Ringo Give Me Love, Give Me Peace On Earth- George Band On The Run- Paul All three tunes dropped over a seven-month period in 1973. I knew they had to be within a couple years at least, but I wasn't expecting seven months. George co-wrote Photograph with Ringo, but still an amazing feat for three former band members to be able to create songs like these (and aren't terribly similar) as individuals. John Lennon released a 1973 album, too, but you can't fault the other three for that, lol
Never did finish that thought... around the time I thought to make that mixtape, it was becoming painfully clear that the kind of songs I was looking for weren't being made anymore. So I'm searching the corners of my mind thru the 70s and this tune just jumps out at me, all perfect for the task, even lyrics. Making the tape transformed that song from being a decent tune I heard on the radio back in middle school to something that'll stick with me for life. The others on that list I had liked for years.
Flying Lotus. The man is related to Alice Coltrane (Wife of John), Ravi Coltrane, and Marilyn McLeod. McLeod wrote the song Love Hangover. I first heard FlyLo in 2006, 2007 on late night TV. Adult Swim. I listened to some of his stuff for the first time in ages and, damn. Still good. Camel is a heart of the summer heatwave song when you and your gf are just lazing in a cheap apartment at 22 years old. But his album Cosmogramma, I maintain is one of the best albums of 2010. Do the Astral Plane is still a trip.
That's cool, kind of an 80s vibe. We skated to Zeppelin BITD, and some guys dug Nugent. I didn't hate Nugent's playing, but needless to say he doesn't get much YT time, now that I know who he really is.
Early 80s, good ear! Skate music as I know it was from the Tony Hawk games. A lot of punk with some rap mixed in. I’ll post some when I’m not on my phone. As for Nugent, like Kid Rock, ugh.
I've been obsessed with song the last couple of days. Harry Hosano was also part of YMO for reference. But this, that's brilliant. The original version, then this live version, which they play as a country song. Holy crap.
Bob Beamon has "jumped" into a new line of work. He's a drummer for the B.O.N.E. Squad. https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...azz-drums/?itid=hp-more-top-stories_p004_f005

I haven't watched a Super Bowl halftime show in years, because I always felt it detracted from the gravity of the moment.
Sometimes the worst thing a group of adversisers can do is list an artist's age. I passed over this quite a few times because the flugel player is being dismissed as young. But this is a gfreat take with a great backing ensemble that's playing off him. Also not just blindly aping Wheeler. Of course, it's also my fault for not listening first, but most of the times I've given an ear to a young jazzer, his youth shows somewhere. I'm not hearing that in this video.
I don't care for Peter Gabriel, but I always liked this. I just learned the tuning, right now I'm trying to get the timing down. Same tuning for the 2nd song, with bass played by Jaco Pastorius. That was easy to figure out and play.
