A Music Thread [Joe Mannix]
Hitmakers have always fascinated me. Whether as producers or as musicians in their own rights who go and make music for others, they inevitably leave their own mark on whatever they make. Hitmakers can elevate people to fame and leave their signature on the tracks that did it.
Phil Spector is perhaps the quintessential hitmaker. His personal life notwithstanding, the guy knew how to make hits. His "wall of sound" was perfect for its era. It was distinctive and - importantly - big and clear in a time of low fidelity. From The Ronettes' Be My Baby to The Crystals' Then He Kissed Me and countless others, the "Spector Sound" was real and shows up throughout the era and beyond, including through covers like Rachel Sweet's medley of both of those tracks. More recently, there are people like Rivers Cuomo of Weezer. In addition to Weezer's (and Cuomo's own) large catalogue, he also routinely writes for and performs with others, often resulting in very distinct tracks with his fingerprints all over them. "Magic" by B.o.B. became a hit because of Cuomo's catchy lyrics and his performance of the hook on the track. "Stupid Girl" by Cold doesn't feature Cuomo himself but he obviously wrote much of it. Is there a producer, writer or other variety of hitmaker that tickles your fancy?Exceptional Live Performances
German metal* band Rammstein has long been known for its live shows. Their shows tend to be extremely big, high-energy and full of fire and extremely elaborate pyrotechnics. The leader Till Lindemann is a pyrotechnician and it shows. When performing their international hit Du Hast at a show in Paris in 2012, all of this is on full display. The spectacle, the pyrotechnics and the on-stage energy of Lindemann are almost unreal. This is a highly-produced music video taken from concert footage and the editing definitely plays up the performance - but the scope, scale, energy and the sheer spectacle of the thing cannot be denied. It makes me wonder if Rammstein can even perform at all while Europe is in a gas crisis.
In 2015, Natalie Imbruglia did a cover of Daft Punk's 2012 hit "Instant Crush." Her version is quite different from the Daft Punk original, especially as the song progresses. This version is also very clean and clear and easy to listen to and has none of the vocal distortion effects of the original. I have heard that one of the reasons Imbruglia covered this track is that she liked the song but found it hard to understand the words. If that was her motivation, she certainly achieved the goal. I think she did a good job on this cover.
The Foo Fighters have had a long line of amusing and fun music videos and the video for 1999's "Learn to Fly" is prime example. The band is on a trip on airplane when a midair prank by the flight attendants goes quite wrong and it is, of course, up to the band to safely land the plane. The band members all play various characters and I think is a pretty fun video.
In no particular order and no implications of quality, here are four songs I've heard recently. Chris LeDoux - Western Skies
A love song to the wide open spaces and life in the western prairies and mountains by one of the country/western greats. Evanescence - Call Me When You're Sober
This is one of a multitude of Evanescence songs about love gone wrong, but it's a lot brighter than many of the others which tend toward being lachrymose or hard-edged and angry. I think it's worth listening to, but then I'd probably listen to Amy Lee singing entries from the phone book. Cake - Stickshifts and Safetybelts
Bench seats are the essential prerequisite for fun in an automobile. The Black Keys - Sister
A great groove and a great riff to go with it from a two-man band that always sounds quite a lot bigger than it is. Bonus Elvis
This week marked the 45th anniversary of Elvis' death and this cannot pass unmarked in a music thread that falls on the same week. Here's his version of "Suspicious Minds."
Also, did you know that Donald Trump awarded Elvis a posthumous Medal of Freedom in 2018? I had no idea. Another thing I learned this week is that the discoverer of a new species of spider (Paradonea presleyi) named it in Elvis' honor.

Years ago studio time was expensive, and bands needed filler material oftentimes to reach the ~ 45 minutes of an LP. So the producer would ask "What else you got!?" and the guys would look at each other. "I dunno ... there's that one jam we play when the bar is getting ready for last call ... guess we could do that one ..." Instant hit!!
Producers and arrangers can do some pretty cool stuff too, they really have an ear for making a group shine. Good ones are in demand. It's neat to listen to demos of new tunes and hear it progress all the way to the final form it was released.

His Wrecking Crew house band had so many talents that went on to great things. Leon Russell, Glen Campbell, Sonny & Cher.
Carol Kaye on bass -- she had more #1 hits than The Beatles, Elvis and The Stones combined.
Three drummers who played with Steely Dan, the ultimate test -- Hal Blaine, Jim Gordon, Jim Keltner, and Jeff Porcaro's dad.

They have some haunting music in addition to their more common "industrial metal" sound.
"Wo bist du" is just amazing, as is "Stirb nicht for mir / Don't Die Before I Do"

I had no idea they covered that. I'll check that out. I find Billy Corgan more than a bit grating but the man is very talented. He's also something of a hitmaker in his own right and he was largely responsible for Hole's only remotely accessible album "Celebrity Skin." He did Courtney Love a pretty huge favor by taking care of that record for her.

You can draw a nearly straight line from Memphis through Muscle Shoals to Nashville. Where blues and jazz mixed with country.
So many great R&B artists went to Muscle Shoals, including Aretha. The house band looked like white crackers who worked at the local bank branch

Jim Steinman and Meatloaf created a demo of Bat out of Hell with just Steinman's piano and Meatloaf's singing that got rejected by every music label in the country,
But their hopes went up when industry legend Clive Davis gave them a personal audience..
But Davis only invited them in to tell them -- in person -- how much they sucked.
All was lost until Todd Rundgren came in and bankrolled the whole project himself. Rundgren hired an ace team of musicians, produced it , and played motorcycle guitar. It was and still is one of the biggest selling records of all time.

"Hurt" became a Johnny Cash song after he did it. That version is haunting and dramatic and distinctly his. I even have an listen to the original, but the original doesn't feel like the "real" version to me after hearing Cash's. I also feel this way about Cash's version of "I Hung My Head" by Sting.

Legal definition of Fraud includes : failing to correct an impression that is false and that the person does not believe to be true if there is a confidential or fiduciary relationship between the parties;
So, naming a Bill which will INCREASE inflation, an inflation reduction Act, meets the definition of Legal Fraud... as WE have a fiduciary interest in our government... through Taxation and spending.
Fraud, is a Felony, and can get you up to 30 YEARS in jail... if it is large enough... you know... like when you commit fraud about BILLIONs of dollars?

Amy Lee and pretty and has one powerful voice. I can't say I'm a fan of her music. I'm probably not the demographic. Yes, she can sing anything and sound great.
Natalie Imbruglia is also pretty. She's 47 now. Seems to have aged reasonably well. Never know in her industry. It tends to chew people up and spit them out.

That is a superb example. Joan Baez wrote some good music but her way of playing and singing the songs was... subpar. Not a big folk music fan, though.

Some say Stevie Ray's version of Voodoo Child is better than Jimmy's. I think Stevie Ray's version, while very good, is more mechanical than Jimmy's. When Hendrix played it, it sounds like it just flowed out of him.

Amazingly, the lyrics express a certain ambivalence about being German for some reason.
They did a video, which they obviously spent millions on, highlighting various events in German history. All of the band grew up in East Germany, and it turns out that Till Lindemann (the lead singer) with the right makeup is a dead ringer for Erich Honecker, the last leader of East Germany.
Somewhat NFSW.

I have read people who said they never had ever considered how it must have been for the south to face being crushed and having all their hopes they were fighting for ruined. Then having the north crap all over them for 100 years. This song helped them think that through for the first time.

This is an interesting thing when it comes to pre 1970 or so pop music. If it was mixed carefully at all, it was mixed for the low fi equipment of young people. Single speaker car radios, transistor radios, non-stereo record players. If you want to hear the mixes that the Beatles were actually involved in you have to listen to the Mono Masters box set.

I have a theory that music from a time period is shaped by how people listen to it.
In the distant past, people listened to it live, so it had a different, more complex and subtle feel to it. When records came out, the music was pitched and recorded in a way that played well on the old record players. When transister radios came out, the music was toned to play well through that; headphones and high-fidelity sets gave us stuff like Yes. Modern music is all squished down headphones and streaming, so its very simple in structure and repetitive.
Also I think the idea that music sounds like the noises people most often hear in the world around them fits as well. When people were more rural, you got music that sounded more like rural sounds: wind, birds, etc. Urban music gives us rap and metal. Tech age music gives us tech sounds.

It's squished down and streaming, but the equipment is pretty damn good now and the bandwidth is available. Even pretty cheap headphones often sound decent. My own dark suspicion about this is that they're using computers to write the music. Feed an algorithm, say, 20 years' worth of top 10 hits and let it generate music (structurally and in terms of arrangement, anyway). Hand it off to songwriters and producers to take that framework and wrap a song around it.
If they keep repeating the process and feed the new top 10 hits back into it, all output will approach the same result as the algorithm continually redigests its own creations. I have no idea if this is what is going on, but it could explain why popular radio music sounds so mutually similar now in terms of structure and across genres. Or I just need to start yelling at kids to get off my lawn. I dunno.

quite a few singers are from the neighborhood notably Mario Lanza who are a school chum of my Father then there is Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydel, Chubby checker (who used to sell chicken and sang going down the street) and las but not least Fabian who was (discovered) sitting on a stoop (entrance stairs) by someone who thought he had the Elvis look. Fabain couldn't sing very well. No South Philly Music story has to include Bandstand that was broadcast now far from the neighborhood. Dick Clark mentions with humor that the Catolic School kids that came to the studio from school started a national dress fad because the kids wore their pleatre dskists and white blouses and the guys many opf whom still had thier tis on that were the uniform of my day.

Consider that it might be the play selection algorithm that makes everything sound similar. The people making the music may offer more variety, but if the stuff being played on the radio (is that still a thing?) or the streaming service could be limited.

He did. He lived it. He was an actual rodeo man and sold tapes out of his truck. He hit it really big when a fan of his - Garth Brooks - mentioned him in the hit song "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)" ("A worn out tape of Chris LeDoux / Lonely women and bad booze / Seem to be the only friends I've left at all").

On another topic, you have to separate musicality from pure show biz.
Show biz is smoke bombs, flashing lights, fog, too loud music, make up, costumes, stuff being lowered from the cat walk, stuff being lit on fire (like a piano in Jerry Lee's case), any other number of cheap thrills.
Musicality has nothing to do with any of that.

Stevie Ray Vaughn was an unreal talent. Dude played his ass off. His tricks - like swinging the guitar around and playing it behind his back - are damned impressive showmanship, too.

I had a friend with one of those in high school, he got it cuz in only cost him $500. 1st and 3rd worked, 2nd and R didn't. If he ever pulled into a place where he couldn't go forward after parking, anyone in the car with him had to get out and push.

I imagine he learned how to park carefully. I had a car with a bum starter I couldn't afford to fix at the moment and spent a few months roll-starting it. I learned two things during that period:
1. To always - without exception - find a slope to park on
2. I could roll-start that car at surprisingly low speed and I could away with parking on very minor slopes.

CCR songs will always have a special place in my heart.
When I first started dating my first ever girlfriend in college back in 1995, she was a social work major. One of her requirements was to do volunteer work each weekend. She volunteered at a local food bank and cooked and served food. One weekend I went to visit her at Indiana University, she said we would have to get up early on Saturday morning to go to the food bank and asked if I wanted to go with her. As a guy in the first stages of puppy love, of course I said yes.
I don't remember anything about what we did there or the people or anything other than CCR was playing on the radio in the kitchen while we worked. And every day after that, whenever I hear CCR, it takes me back to that day, to that feeling of innocence of young love.

Another reason I love music is the recall. And sometimes weird triggers. I haven't smoked in a very long time, but every time I hear "Daria" by Cake, I crave a cigarette for some reason that I do not understand. If I've been drinking, it is a serious craving.

My parents believed rock 'n roll music from after about 1966 was of the devil. I only heard some when my brother got a bootleg radio and picked up local stations in Mexico playing it...

I like "Layla" a lot but it honestly always bugged me a little bit that it's two songs grafted together with all the subtlety of a brick through the window. I love both halves of the song, but the transition into the piano exit throws me off to this day.

Yes it is! And definitely triggers. I can listen to the 80s channel on Xfinity while I work and certain songs will send me back to different years of my life during grammar school. When I hear some 90s songs, it sends me back to high school (early 90s) or college (mid to late 90s). And then hearing certain groups or songs that were popular in the 2000s, I am sent back to my 20s and early 30s and things that were going on in my life back then.
Certain songs or groups I listened to over and over again during different times in my life and when I hear them now, it sends me right back there for a few moments. Sometimes it's a happy memory and sometimes not.
But yeah, music is awesome and its interaction with the human mind and emotions is powerful.

Huh. Before now, I can't think of a time I've seen (heard) the recorder being played seriously.

Sinatra, Davis Martin are some of my all time favorite singers as they epitomize that 50s style. I ran into one of the coolest bit of Rat Pack history in the most unexpected place. Well, for me it was unexpected. Parry's Lodge, Knab, Utah found its fame as the go to hotel in the 20s - 50s when Hollywood was filming westerns in the area which was a lot. The fun part is all the rooms are named after famous actors who stayed in specific rooms. The Rat Pack had one side of one wing bearing their names. "Conveniently", all the wives' rooms were on the other side of the wing and it is pretty easy to guess why which I will leave to the fertile imaginations that come and go here.
