We have no bananas today, that is...

Dan, the Sixty Minute Man The Gangster Of Love The Midnight Mover

Yes, we have no bananas.

One of them, at least.

This Amazon reviewer gives me pause to perplex: Whoever this person is, I think I'd feel safer wearing bullet-proof earmuffs in their presence!

Dude, it's "Bernadette". There is no reply. Not from you, not from me, not from anybody. Stuff like that is just... BAM, here's life, now go along and live. Commentating on it is just wasting time away from doing that. But that's "Bernadette". Not all things are.

Sorry, it was an improvisation. It got deleted, oh well. I know it wasn't malicious, you're not the kind of guy. Now, it's like, reposting turns music in the air, gone forever, never to return, into a fart, in the air, sure to linger, and sure to come back again, even less fresh than before. All I can say for sure is that "Bernadette" is the truth. This other stuff...not so much.

And you can't make a camel lead you to water, even if you'd drink it when you got there!

And not all freeway traffic results in 50 car pileups.

good luck finding it today...been out of production since the early 80s...too bad.

From Amiri Baraka hating hard bop to Cornel West's history of failed marriages. Nice thread.

Mostest favorite soft-drink ever.

The Dovells Johnny Bristol Pistol Pete

Two of the tunes here end up on Come to My Garden a few years later.... All told, and interesting album fow how things are done more than what things are done...Charles Stepney definitely had a vision.

What's a good example, currently, that fits this description? Or, if there is nothing current, how far back do you have to go to find pop music that fits this description? Just curious. Monday. Really good house/broken-beat/"nu-jazz" music. Georgia Anne Muldrow Shafiq Hussein In all cases, "pop" most assuredly does not equate to "popular", but like I said, it ain't my world.

Bottom line, if you fuck with people's money, they gonna get pissed, Jew, Gentile, Arab, Mafioso, Military-Industrial Complex, anybody. That, Dear Friends, is the True Lesson Of The Story.

Hmm. Never seen that side before. Interesting set list -- populist stuff (Taste of Honey/What Kind of Fool/Sermonette, etc.) but also some very hip standards (In Love in Vain, Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out). There is some stuff on here that is jaw-dropping casually freakygood, all the more so because of the somewhat somnambulistic backing.. "Midnight Sun" is just SICK! Now spinning

Really good news for pop music would be grooves that don't plod, textures that evolve as the song goes along, and harmonies that surprise, but hey, it's not my world, ya' know?

Ok, thanks for the tips, I checked her out and I think I'm gonna pass. She's got a real voice for sure (always appreciated, believe me), but her phrasing is always square on the beat, doesn't float, and there's not a lot-of intra-phrasal dynamics. Everything sounds kind of plodding to me (not helped by the sing-song melodies and also-square-on-the-beat backings), although that's probably too harsh a word, given the general connotations. She's not gonna be for me, but hey, she doesn't suck either, so good for her. Live long, prosper, and we'll continue to live lives of non-intersection. Win-win!

Picked it up thinking it was going to be a big-band backing, took a few tunes to adjust to the fact that it wasn't, as well as that there weren't going to be any real solos or obligattos by either Carmel Jones or Teddy Edwards, as well as that Ernie Freemans' organ was just going to hold those chords on and on, but - after making those adjustments, Sarah's in great form here herself, and hell, it is her album after all.
