So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[BillyBatts]

Christian McBride - New York Time (96/24 High Resolution)

[mikeweil]

This the Groove Hut reissue with all fifteen tracks recorded at those sessions in 1964. Nice Onzy Matthews charts on some tracks, great guitar by Ray Crawford. This is just as good as any other 1960's Groove Holmes recording.

Edward Dorn - "in Defense of Pure Poetry"

The guards can say what they want

And so can Vernon and so can NBC

But whatever it is they have to say

Nobody can fault the King

For squeezing the trigger on Robert Goulet

[JSngry]

I actually like Robert Goulet as a "thing"...can't stand his singing, but he's so...whatever he is, it's like finding fault with lemons for being lemony. No, they are what they are, and if you don't like lemons, don't blame the lemon. Me, I prefer limes. But lemons, there they are.

also, the older I get, the less use I have for "songs", but also the more I like hearing lyrics, as long as there are songs with words, like the man said, know the lyrics. Just playing a "song" without having the context of the original setting including the lyrics (and verses where applicable), hell if there's not that, let's just not fuck with "songs" any more. That'd be ok with me, but...

Just saying...thos tunes that take the odd jag here and there, or have the really distinctive melodic contours, a lot of the time, knowing the lyrics explains why that's happening more better than does just knowing "the tune".

This here is still a mind fuck to me, I never knew that there was a verse, and I never knew how that first Fminor chord was a resolution instead of a beginning. Totally belw me away, and I don't hear the song the same way ever again.

None of which justifies Robret Goulet, but nobody asked me, and he's been her and gone, so, he wins.
