Random Songs

[marcski]

We've got one thread for beer, lunch, dinner, and the one that nobody cares about....so why not songs??

Check out this version John Scofield with Martin, Medeski & Wood...wow!

 

[marcski]

And these guys..... The original of course with Lowell George...perhaps the most underated American Rock band??

You asked for random.

[marcski]

You asked for random.

Yes, I did say Random...I should have prefaced it as "Random GOOD Songs"

My 15yo and 10yo kids were captive with me in the car last night. Forced them to listen to Aerosmith's greatest hits, now that they know who Steven Tyler is. They informed me Rock is dead. It's for old folks. Told them their Pop and Rap stuff has nothing on Rock. I was told Rap = Poetry. I said THIS is poetry... and of course they pick up on "judge's constipation", and LOL at me.

Damn, hadn't heard that GS Heron had died. Only 62. That sucks.

Only 62 years old, damn is right. R.I.P.
:sad:





Gil Scott-Heron, the poet and recording artist whose syncopated spoken style and mordant critiques of politics, racism and mass media in pieces like “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” made him a notable voice of black protest culture in the 1970s and an important early influence on hip-hop, died on Friday at St. Luke’s Hospital in Manhattan. *** He preferred to call himself a “bluesologist,” drawing on the traditions of blues, jazz and Harlem Renaissance poetics. Yet along with the work of the Last Poets, a group of black nationalist performance poets who emerged alongside him in the late 1960s and early ’70s, Mr. Scott-Heron established much of the attitude and stylistic vocabulary that would characterize the socially conscious work of early rap groups like Public Enemy and Boogie Down Productions, and who has remained part of the DNA of hip-hop by being sampled by stars like Kanye West.
“You can go into Ginsberg and the Beat poets and Dylan, but Gil Scott-Heron is the manifestation of the modern word,” Chuck D., the leader of Public Enemy, told The New Yorker in 2010. “He and the Last Poets set the stage for everyone else.”

Horrible news. Gil-Scot was definitely in a league of few...and his imprint on today's music is very understated. His music is a great legacy.
