![]() ![]() Wineboy - John Abram - nothing to do with Brown Bunny or even Pussy Train but a nice little trumpet piece to end things and go back to bed. The first minute is acoustic but I couldn't resist a little rock and roll with my coffee. This kinda reminds me of the opening theme from Firefly. I was their roadie one rainy day last April. I Don't Know - Kim Fields & October Skies - getting away from Brown Bunny and so long as we're doing the acoustic thing today, I thought I would slip this in from local western-tinged October Skies. Leave all the days behind - John Frusticante - a vocal piece, reminds me of Joseph A. Milk and Honey - Nick Drake - The John Franks version appears on the soundtrack and he wrote it but here's Drake covering it with the sounds of the ocean in the background (found object? - referring page, Drake)įalling - John Frusticante - Frusticante's acoustic compositions litter this roadtrip soundtrack and pretty much define the overall sound (found object - referring page, Frusticante - this is an awesome website for exploring his music and mind). (found object? encoded at 32 kbps - referring page, Junkies) This morning's mostly acoustic mix inspired by Brown Bunny, soon playing in your local mediaplex if it isn't already.īeautiful - Cowboy Junkies - This cover of the Gordon Lightfoot song isn't on the soundtrack but Lightfoot is. Leonard Bernstein, October 1965 (New York Times) My youngest child, old-fashioned and sweet.Īnd he stands on his own two tonal feet." Two long months of avant-garde wandering. With its tonics and triads and E flat major.īut there it stands the result of my pondering, These psalms are a simple and modest affair, And then I came up with the Chichester Psalms. Played with the forearms, the fists and palms With squadrons of vibraphones, fleets of pianos Titles too beat for these homely tetrameters Pieces called "Cycles" and "Sines" and "Parameters". "Perspective in Music" the new terminology, The serial strictures, the dearth of romance, I mean, I'd rather listen to Handel - he's English, right - or the new Fall CD.Ĭhoral Society of Greensboro/Greensboro Symphony Orchestra Still there's better stuff you could be putting on your shelf, I'd wager. ![]() HEY, tryin' to say something good here, work with me. "As Long as It's Purple and Green" works for a few minutes, at least. "The More it Changes" isn't a bad tune either and to be fair, I think their later '90s stuff is semi-ok if you check out the Epitonic link. again, yay for the deconstructive power of digital audio (and video, whatever). "Maniac" has some nice guitar work (from future full-fledged member Bob Pistoor) and "The Month After" has a nice hook - although it does stand for a little editing - I've deleted just about everything and faded it out after 4 minutes. If you really must, I recommend "Maniac" and "The Month After". Since LPD seem to be a much loved band, hmmm go figger - there's tons of MP3s out there - check here for legals, here, too I think and here for the entire album on a thank-God-for-us-winning-the-Cold-War probably illegal but really fan-love Russian site. If you have a good song editor, I suppose you can fix the songs - yay deconstruction! - but is it worth it?Īlso, the lyrics and the whole Moody Blues low-fi thing just grates me (and the last cut " Regression" makes this POINT all too clear) - y'know like the way Tood Rundgren's voice makes me kinda nauseous. The problem with LPD is many - first why do they feel like appending many of their songs with these fucking tedious "psychedelia" epilogues that go on forever - I suppose it would "trip you out" if you still smoke dope but I don't and so I'm bored. what with all his literary snobbery towards me - he sighs at me because I haven't read Joyce and made fun of the whole whateverday they had recently, go figure - it's nice to know his musical tastes are so laughably sucky - makes me think perhaps he's got it wrong with books too.). I'll say this much for them ( LPD, not my RC year(s)) - they're better than Robyn Hitchcock (and so long as YOU brought up the subject, I have to say I was delighted to find Hitchcock AND U2 in my brother-in-law's rather dismal CD collection snicker snicker haw haw- not to mention all that really, really, really bad jez, er, Jazz that was in there. So.I'm not a "Dots" fan and since this is a cut-out, I'm guessing this got in my collection during my rawk critik year(s) for which I still do pennance every day, every night. it's not really a slag but I'm just not feeling too nice right now and I'm gonna have to load on some abstract object - it's better than kicking a dog, right? Well maybe it is a slag and I know this band is well-loved the world round so I'm probably gonna lose a few readers so just chalk it up to other things. Yeah, so this is kinda a slag so if you like teacups and daffodils, you might want to opt out. ![]()
