Eww, I don’t want him to spray me in the face with that air gun! You stay behind that drum set Mr. Chigurh, and don’t choke me with the hand cuffs I just put on you!
Selling her soul to the Devil for a Stairway to Heaven seems uncommonly dumb. Like selling your penis to organ peddlers in exchange for a night after the surgery with a sexy woman.
Early bebop was often difficultly complex. Monk said of those early Minton’s days: “we wanted a music they couldn’t play”, the being the white musicians who so often took this music mostly originated by blacks and essentially taking it over, especially financially.
Salt peanuts is, to me, the classic pretentious bebop tune.
But for the most part, even when they started off with disjointed, complex themes, it soon turned into groovalicious music that you didn’t have to count off on a slide ruler. Music like this:
, like this:
As much as I love the weirdness factor and the willingness to explore, much of this sounds like they’re using a musical essay form to take a calculus exam.
Which nit ain’t to say that Miles et al didn’t start off w/ I Got Rhythm as their derivation point, especially since it was one of them tunes everyone loved to play and so was easy for band members to learn.
Just the compositional church lady in me fingering her crotch and sniffing, is all.
which, of course, only serves to prove somebody’s point, and I’m stomping all over someone’s lawn, and when I want to hear music in which I have to struggle to maintain my sense of place, I go for the likes of this:
Apparently the kids are into something called: ‘Lady Gaga’ or something. Which looks basically like a cross between Madonna and ‘Ziggy Stardust’-era David Bowie.
BTW, what is or are these Grammys of which yez speak? I’m envisioning a talk show with aging Hollywood gals in their jammies. Apparently, they like to promote young people’s music?

I heard Hatfield and The North are wearing Armani.

Best new artist (via Crotchbat):
January 31, 2010 at 9:06 pm
The name Crotchbat is impressive.
January 31, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Satan’s God by Crotchbat was awesome until they started playing it at EVERY Bah Mitzvah.
January 31, 2010 at 10:42 pm
You just made me spit blood out of my nose. Literally. That was funny!
February 1, 2010 at 7:32 am
lol, no, Crotchbat is a music collector, I got the video from his blog here.
I’m surprised the cops didn’t pull the plug on that idiot. It sounds like the actual band finally showed up to shut him up, but in a genial way.

Those are the lyrics to ‘Stairway to Heaven’. Fuckin poseur.

Oleo is a transmogrified I Got Rhythm. See if you can hear it.
February 1, 2010 at 10:56 am
You had me at trasmnogrified.
February 1, 2010 at 10:59 am
Aye, ’tis, although I pick the nit of noting that I Got Rhythm’s chord sequence must surely be older than George or Ira.

A lot of bebop-era jazz was derived from the “Great American Songbook.” That + blues, and off they went.
February 1, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Oh, and see “rhythm changes.”

It seems Beyonce did a song called ‘if I were a boy’ which OUGHT to sound like this: (Italian original Nina translates)
I’d have enough intercourse, if I were a boy …

I can’t see the YourTube from work, but I assume some French drummer Prog-Rock guy won the Internets/Grammys.
Yes?
