Post cool music here!

You could post something you like... I'm going into too much of a Dir en grey phase now to find new stuff and my sister keeps bugging me to send her music.

I should try mailing her some Merzbow.

I didn't know that one, it sounds very '80s, but cool.

Dutch television organised a hard rock concert performed by a choir of elderly last year, and they were such a charming hit, they're touring Germany now. Here they are, the Golden Oldies, flashmobbing Berlin with Rammstein's Die Sonne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRHTTngU5H8

Hey they're great, Anakronik! Here it is: the Wipeout off Back To The Beach soundtrack, by Herbie Hancock, with Dweezil on guitar, Terry Bozzio on drums... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INdKbZB1mBA

I'd never heard of that tune.

This song later got covered by Joe Bonamassa, but this soft Curry voice... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWjEq5yA9mM Sloe Gin.

I know Bonamassa's version (I actually bought the CD for my dad) which is pretty cool, but it's true Tim Curry's voice is interesting, I'd like to hear a combination of both, Joe playing guitar and Tim singing.

On the topic of Wipeout, try this, it's right at the start, the MOI doing a cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTOv1YZXZqM BTW, it'd be interesting to know what happened to the original of that production.

It would be! Apparently all we know - outside of the vault - is what's on the label, which is probably, and partly wrong.

An educated guess puts the date, place as Dec 7-8 1968 at Shrine Exposition Hall, LA, CA which is not what's on the label. Here is a history and makeup of the record and what's on it: http://www.zappateers.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=18544

It's notable that this was not a Bunk Gardner tape as those make up the bulk of the '68 tapes and source was not provenanced there.

For comparison, another track from this record, "Copenhagen Night Music" has been confirmed as from Copenhagen show 10 03 1968. Though probably not one of the Bunk Gardner tapes, I asked Joe about this - if we could see it released -and he said that tape was in the vault and was used as live portion in Uncle Meat's "Ian Underwood Whips It Out", but that it was 'not properly recorded'. Whatever that means.

There could be a tape of that Shrine Expo Hall show w/ Wipe Out on it in the vault. Or there may not be.

There is another example or two of The Mothers playing that song, but the Detroit recording at zappateers are hard to hear what's going on. Distant, distortion, old, whatever.
Detroit: May 17, 69; and one that sounds better, & may have been a Bunk tape. Now you can get it on ebay or at zappateers for free.
Central Park, NY: Aug 3, 1968, here, abt 54 minutes into it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj4nd0rmAuQ


For some crazy reason, I've been listening to Herb Alpert this summer. There were some of those records at home where I grew up. So it makes sense that way. I can't get over how good some of it was, but have to question, isn't that just old synapses being strummed again so it sounds good to me? They were very popular over here.
An example:

Of course, I don't believe this is a live performance. They sound exactly like the record.
Their persona too is a gimmick like miming for the camera. they were totally fake, posers on a soundstage. Italian and Jewish kids that grew up in Brooklyn&Queens acting like a mariachi band. For most of the '60's, too, not just a one off and they had very little actual experience with Mexico. Except Tijuana, as tourists. And Tijuana then was not really a dangerous place. But the music, the execution of what it is, isn't terrible. In fact they try lots of styles and had benefit of a lot of fame and units sold, etc. etc. which made it possible to do arrangements that were Morricone or Phil Spector inspired, use sound techniques honed at Golden Sound Studios in LA, etc.
