Sunday Music/Open Thread [CBD]

Good song, from a group I have never heard of.

Open thread.....

And below the fold, some Yes.....

Utterly devastated beyond words to have to report the sad news of the passing of my dear friend, bandmate and inspiration Chris Squire. #yes

7 Re SpaceX launch failure this morning. Looks like it was something in the second stage. First stage apparently worked fine up to the point they were ready for staging. Started spooling up the second stage, got an overpressure indication in the oxidizer tank...and BOOM. At least this was what limited info they had at the presser a little while ago. Needless to say, SpaceX is still analyzing the telemetry.

You really do have to go completely away from the popular music industry to find it, but there is good stuff being made.

Original? Eh, yeah, that's hard to do. But good nonetheless. It just takes time and effort to find it.

I've seen Yes and ELP live more than once over the years. I never would've figured those two bands would tour together, seeing as how they loved to compete against each other for the title of Best Prog Band Evah.

I emailed Chris Squire a few years back to tell him that although he didn't know it, he taught me a lot about playing bass. Never heard back, but that's no surprise. He was voted Best Bassist in a lot of Guitar Player (No Bass Player mag back then) polls right before Jaco burst upon the scene.

78 Chi-town Jerry:

"There is no new music any longer.. all just variations on something already done.."

That's how it always has been. Even "original" artists are just somewhat more clever in recombining their influences.

As a musician I usually despise music critics but I read a great article once by a guy who was critical of an attempt by Paul McCartney to write a classical piece. McCartney had made a big deal about how he wasn't going to listen to classical music so he could "do his own original thing". The critic pointed out how the Beatles spent years woodshedding on old rock 'n roll (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Everly Bros. etc.) before they started writing their own songs.

McCartney had made a big deal about how he wasn't going to listen to classical music so he could "do his own original thing". The critic pointed out how the Beatles spent years woodshedding on old rock 'n roll (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Everly Bros. etc.) before they started writing their own songs.

As another musician, I've noticed how hooks and melody lines are becoming more and more simple. "Rap music" is notorious for this, dependent as they are on loops and repetition instead of actual music form. It's ruining a lot of listeners, IMHO.

Samples are OK, I guess. Thanks to that, we now have Aerosmith again. IIRC, they'd broken up at the time and only reformed when Walk This Way got sampled by some rapper.

103 Lord Huron is excellent! I saw them last year opening for Alt-J. Their new album is fantastic. The guy who started the band actually has an art degree from UMichigan, and their shows are very artistic and interesting.

And oh, RIP Chris Squire. I was a HUUUUGE Yes fan back in the day, though somehow I never managed to see them live. Rick Wakeman was my favorite Yes member because I was a keyboard player and he is a wizard of the keyboard.

The Tin Pan Alley guys were saying that about rock in the 50s and 60s. I suspect there is still a lot of good stuff out there but it may be harder to find because media is more diffuse these days. No more Elvis or Beatles on Ed Sullivan taking over the country.

You'll definitely want to visit Jumpin' Jacks on NY Route 5 in Scotia, just across the river from Schenectady.

208 203 Thinking about what flag (or flags) the gray team should carry into battle for Civil War reenactments -

- Jolly Roger pirate flag
- banner that says "South"
- Miami Dolphins flag (1960s-era logo)
- orange flag with big blue "01" outlined in white

In the what's-in-a-name file, there's Belarus which means White Russia as in white race, meaning no conquest by and subsequent interbreeding with the Mongols.

230 Finally catching up on who the Jets drafted. SI gave their draft an A, so I feel pretty good. I really want them to go deeper into the playoffs next season, or at least win a game or two. . . .

Posted by: logprof at June 28, 2015 05:01 PM (XHz/D)

231 --and the Islanders got the first ever draftee from China. And yet the NHL is pigeonholed as a "provincial" "niche" sport.

Blackhawks, Kings, Ducks, Capitals, Jets, Predators, Islanders, Panthers, Sabres.

Devils, Blues, Bruins, Flyers, Coyotes.

Incidentally, did you know those bungling NY law officials kept people from returning to their homes or kept them locked int their homes while they haplessly searched for ONE MAN?

I woulda told them to go screw.
