Where's the zipper on that thing for when the piano needs tuning ????

Nice.

Never in a million, gazillion years would I have put those two together, wow! Interesting, to say the least...undecided whether or not I actually like it.

and welcome to PW ! You made quite an entrance

Welcome Densi

Thanks piano joy and wayne I have spent hours on this thread today and have been relishing it.

This is an example of "found" music. kutiman surfs YouTube for music clips and then arranges them into complete works.

Well well well.
Rossy does not usually get excited by radio station music anymore.

I hate the pap our commercial stations pump out day after day.

All was nearly lost and futility was reigning in the airwaves department .

UNTILL, I happened across www.radiotuna.com , there I clicked "ambient" because i wanted background sounds without chatter.

I then got a drop down menu and picked "ethereal" because I thought it would be nice to have my head in an ethereal place.

Then, I clicked on "abnormally dead air" (radio from the grave) as the choice of ambient, ethereal music supplier.


AND THAT, is when I had my first taste of an exciting london outfit called "Lahannya" ( have you heard of them?) me neither...

It is refreshing when someone has something to say in a song, i thought it may be a thing of the past, but lahannya proved me wrong to think that... very very wrong.


Lyrics such as; ""I stand my ground and I will not back down, I've played a faithful slave far too long, no one can force my mind, I stand to crucify the Dystopia they have spun."

The melody line sung over such a heavy backing such as this just blew me away, from the song "the stand"

Then "cacoon" also from the "dystopia album" which I am going to buy, yes I am going to buy it which is unusual for me as i usually just download like normal folk.

But lahannya can have some of my meagre funds for inspiring me again.

here is "the stand" and cacoon, you judge for yourselves but dont start to argue with me about it because I wont be listening to any criticism of lahannya.

cacoon was filmed during the london riots and has footage of the riots in it.

The wonderer returns lol Not bad posts Rossy, reminded me a bit of Florence against the machine.



Songs where the singers mean what they say are always the best

Lovin this!

Lahnnya is a nice find, Rossy.

And Gabrielle Aplin, Wayne.

Typo? Or cryptic comment?

Yes, which reminds me...



(The subtitles really make it...er...)

Maybe Dylan would have made better music if he had not gone electric.

The boos what a reaction.

Maybe The Beatles would have made better music if they'd continued wearing themselves out touring instead of letting the creative juices flow in the recording studio, furthering studio technology and changing the way music was produced while developing Revolver and Sgt. Pepper.

Maybe we'd have developed better technology if we hadn't spent all that money going to the moon.

Maybe Dylan was inspired by all the bigots booing.

And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country
Luke 4:24.

I like Dylan's response here.




Just a different time I think I cant see The Rite of Spring causing a riot today but I suppose it might depending on where it was performed. I can understand why people where upset and I also think it is a legitimate thought which is not bigoted for example If Dylan had of focused on his acoustic techniques instead of going electric who knows what he would of come up with.

And maybe if Richard had noticed this was only your third post densi , then he may have been kinder than he was.

Dont panic though !! Dylan never actually claimed to be a musician, just a poet.

As to the electricification , it was all the old folk types with their beards and elbow patches demanding that everyone who does folk has to be acoustic or its not "proper"

Dylan was an a r s e, after what he did to joan beaz he deserved to be booed on that particular tour of the UK.

which reminds me....

Oops!

Unkindness was intended for the stuck-in-the-mud, bigoted, folk types who booed at the concert, not at densi!

"And maybe if Richard had noticed this was only your third post densi , then he may have been kinder than he was"

There is always one

Densi, Richard is a nice, intelligent chap, and he will eventually grow on you, so pay no mind... (and he did explain...)
I always liked " Mr. Tambourine Man", and hey, anybody who can play guitar, harmonica AND sing is A-OK in my book!

By the way, Richard, " and the Beetles would have made BETTER music..."
Now, I believe I know what you meant, but that's a fairly gutsy statement. I like their earlier music FAR more, but geez....

How nice of you, piano joy, to point out that I'll grow on people...


eventually!


I think densi and I cross posted so he may not have seen the explanation, but hey, densi, welcome to the thread!


Also, I believe '62-65 was close to perfection, spontaneous, and alive. But just so that we're clear here, what they wrote later might have better than it turned out to be as opposed to better than '62-65.

Mushrooms grow on people as well, for instance, ages ago I couldnt be bothered to change my socks. They were really good socks, long, black and warm.

I hated looking for them in the mornings when I could hardly see properly ( I say "mornings" but what I obviously mean is dinnertime onwards, as it is not gentlemanly to get up before noon) Anyways, to cut a short story up into bits to make it a longer one by re-arranging the bits and stuff, I decided to keep my socks on at all times day and night.

Remember the "mushrooms grow on people too" bit?

How was I to know what was hapening under the socks, I dont have x ray vision.

Mushroom growing kits in boxes from B&Q dont do very much , even though they were on special offer and Dipsey purchased one.

She followed all of the instructions carefully:

Two months later and once again there are no fruits of the sporadic nature growing in that damn box.

My dad is going to have a crap christmas, as well as dietery obeseities (diebeties for short) a knackered knee he now has shingles.

That means he cannot go anywhere were folks know him for christmas ., as every one who does will not go near him, I can assure you , no one in their right mind wants shingles for christmas, excepting of course Kate middleton.

kate wants my dads shingles so she can go back into the same comfy NHS hospital that gave a flying F*** about her morning sickness.

This is an attempt by kate to get more public sympathy for not being able to keep the British stiff upper lip in the face of a severe physical malady,
like having legs blown off in the trenches for example.

I told my dad to keep the shingles for himself and not to give them kate through casual sexual contact.

I hope he listens to me for once, just for once dad would be nice.
