My reccomendation is Martians Go Home! No, wait, Martians Come Back!

One of the few things my mum & I agree on is that this is the greatest cartoon ever made...

I think we should boycott the Olympics until Jim Thorpe's medals are reinstated!

I've heard his album on vinyl, a long time ago, my memory is that it was nice enuff, and Muskrat Love was the throwaway humorous aside that, of course, was the one tune others picked up on - but that's a pretty faint memory at this point. Nothing I'd pay big $ for, YMMV

I used the Loud Minority for a jazz 'n poetry mix tape I made for my brother once, I ended up concluding that it was all pretty bad poetry, except for the Wm. Blake that Mike Westbrook set to music, that's damn good poetry!

Writer Willis Alan Ramsey's version would be the original Muskrat Love http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskrat_Love - for what it's worth!

Right -- he never sold out unless (and this was the case for a good many years) he was following the then-current dictates of the CPUSA. See for example the song "Plow Under" ("Don’t you…plow under/Every fourth American boy"), the isolationist anti-war song written by Seeger and Lee Hays in early 1941 when it was CPUSA policy that the US must stay out of the war (this because Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union were still allies): http://peteseeger.net/wp/?page_id=1446 Then the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, CPUSA policy turned 180 degrees overnight, and so did Seeger, who with Woody Guthrie, and Millard Lampell wrote the rousing pro-intervention, pro-war song "Reuben James," about the sinking of the US destroyer of that name by a Nazi submarine in Oct. 1941, two months before Pearl Harbor ("Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright/In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight./And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main/And remember the name of that good Reuben James"): http://www.oocities.org/folkfred/reuben.html Didn't Woody write "On Account of the New Situation" specifically to mock his friends' flipfloppery at this time? On the other hand, I read his (Seegar's) ananlysis of Dylan's "Only a Pawn in Their Game" somewhere and he completely got that...so?

The Hank Thompson tribute to the Mills Bros. is worth checking out, and not just for the WTF factor...

This, this grooves like crazy.

The singing was pretty weak, but I felt that way about his work with Costello too.

Maybe he was trying to get in one of them Ski Party movies, like James Brown did.

They should have a deluxe edition that comes with its own lava lamp. and a bearskin rug like the one Miles was laying on or am I thinking of the wrong album? Is the bonus material Black Beauty material and isn't that a slightly different band? (I liked Black Beauty better, and yes all that Jap only stuff did have a holy grail aura back in the day) So, I followed the links and I think I answered my own Q - yes the 'bonus' material will be from the Black Beauty gig, which unfortunately makes it unlikely that we will get a complete version of that, or not...

Oh, I should get this. Did it come out on CD? MG It's pretty darn nice, as I recall, but I haven't listened to it in quite some time...not much help. am I?

If you're talking 'bout Always Something There or The Look of Love, sure, but the other late BN stuff, not really, but then what's 'straight ahead' depends on where you think you're going...

Dodds no doubt is funkier and obviously so, no?

So, what were you thinking about as the 3rd & 4th sides - maybe Circle in the Round and Dual Mr Tillman Anthony? Or that cut with Joe Chambers?

Thanks for the lovely clips, enjoyed them both. Have to admit I kinda skipped through them though, surely you didn't listen thru all hour plus of something you didn't like? Yes Power Tools is a 'better'band - but Bill is still v. much the same guy, try PT's Unchained Melody for confirmation. Or try BF's Lalalalalalla Means I Love You on youtube for some thing relatively recent of his you might enjoy, that is if you actually like enjoying things, I'm never really quite sure if you do...And yes, I love Jimmy Day's playing with Ray Price, particularly on San Antonio Rose, but I fail to see the linkage here.

or Shirley the girly, not that I'm doubting that she was, in all kinds of ways, fully grown, but it don't have the same ring to it if it don't rhyme.

I kinda like it, but then I loved the strawberry shortcake cover to the Cellar Door box.

My reference gives "Somethings Coming" for augmented 4/diminished 5, "There's a Place For Us"(aka Somewhere) and You Gotta Have Heart for ascending min7, just Watermelon Man for descending min7, and just I Love You descending and Ceora ascending for maj7, so what's that, like 2 new/more tunes?

-40+F makes people tough, and it's a long way from S'toon to Toronto, and stilll longer from there to LA.

That would be great, thanks Dana! Last night in bed I was singing them in my head and figured I might have to look at the tunes I wrote myself too since those are in my head anyway. One of them has a ascending minor 6th (same as Black Orpheus) and I was using that one all ready. I'll post my list too, it seems there are less tunes for descending intervals on existing lists. Busy day, hopefully tomorrow.
