Point Blank - Bruce Springsteen song

2008-03-06T05:55:46Z

One of Bruce's most beautiful songs and there is simply no way I can do it justice.
The song has meaning for me because long ago I had a girlfriend like this and actually lived many of the scenes depicted by the lyric.
Here's my attempt at a solo acoustic cover.

Please Listen To My Original Song - Your Opinions Matter To Me

2008-02-12T02:37:20Z

This is a song I wrote in 1977 about an older me reflecting back on my youth and the good times we had centered around the music we listened to back then. This time I tried a capo on the 4th fret and an E harmonica. I can play this song with my eyes closed but the harmonica parts are totally improvised on the spot. Let me know what you think (and yes it does sound like a Neil Young song...lol...the 17 year old me who wrote this was heavily influenced!).

"Harlem Streets," by Immortal Technique

2008-01-02T17:11:41Z

Yeah.... Harlem streets stay flooded in white powder
Like those motherfuckers runnin' away from the Twin Towers
Gunshots rock the earth like a meteor shower
"Bowling for Columbine": fair, given the media power
Innocence devoured like a chicken spot snack box
Government cocaine cooked into ghetto crack rock
Corrupt cops, false testimony at your arraignment
Check to check, constant struggles to make the payments
Working your whole life, wondering where the day went
The subway stays pakced like a multi-cultural slave ship
It's rush hour, 2:30 to 8, non stoppin'
And people coming home after corporate sharecroppin'
And fuck flossin'--mothers are trying to feed children
But gentrification is kicking them out of their building
A generation of babies born without health care
Families homeless, thrown the fuck off of the welfare

It's like Cambodia, the killing fields uptown;
We live in distress and hang the flag upside down
The sound of conservative politicians on television
People in the hood are blind so they tell us to listen
They vote for us to go to war instantly
But none of their kids serve in the infantry
The odds are stacked against us like a casino
Think about it: most of the army is black and Latino
And if you can't acknowledge the reality of my words
You're just another stupid motherfucker out on the curb
Trying to escape from the ghetto with your ignorant ways
But you can't read history at an illiterate stage
And you can't raise a family on minimum wage--
Why the fuck d'you think most of us are locked in a cage?
I give niggaz the truth, cause their pride is indigent
You better off rich and guilty than poor and innocent
But I'm sick of feeling impotent watching the world burn
In the era of apocalypse waiting my turn
I'm a Harlem nigga that's concerned with the future
And if you're in my way it'd be an honor to shoot ya
Uproot ya with the evil that grows in my people
Making them deceitful, cannibalistic and lethal
But I see through the mentality implanted in us
And I educate my fam about who we should trust

How to go about selling an entire music collection?

2007-12-19T19:48:57Z

Hey all,
When my dad died I inherited his entire music collection. He had an excellent collection of rare folk, celtic, classical, and rock cds of music all the way from the 50's to the 90's. Thing is, I know some of these cds are collector's items, but I don't know how to get them priced and how to sell them. There's about 2000 cds.
Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? List them individually on ebay? Make an excel doc of all of them and post it online, selling them individually or as a batch? It's a huge project and my fear is that unless I figure out the best way to do it, I'll still have most of them sitting in my house a year from now.
Can anyone help me? What would you do??
Thanks!
Kristin

Led Zep reunion gig finally here

2007-12-11T23:39:43Z

http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSL103271720071210

Wait nearly over for Led Zeppelin reunion gig
By Mike Collett-White

LONDON (Reuters) - British rockers Led Zeppelin reunite on Monday to headline a tribute concert to the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun in what has been billed as one of the biggest gigs in years.

The three surviving members of the hugely successful 1970s group that created "Stairway to Heaven" and "Whole Lotta Love" have rarely performed together since splitting in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham following a drinking binge.

By their own admission, each reunion has been a flop, so anticipation is high that the 90-minute set at London's O2 Arena late on Monday will get somewhere close to the heyday when they were considered by many to be the world's biggest rock band.

Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones will be joined by Bonham's son Jason on the drums for the one-off comeback, although there has been fevered speculation that the gig may be followed by a full-scale tour.

"Let's just do the O2 and we'll see what happens from there," 63-year-old Page told Reuters in a recent interview. "I haven't got a crystal ball here and nor have you."

Led Zeppelin sold an estimated 300 million albums and were legendary for their rock'n'roll excess, but their popularity is also attributed to the influence the music had on later acts.

When organizers announced the concert, also featuring the Who's Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings among others, the Web site selling tickets crashed as more than a million people rushed for about 20,000 seats.

One man from Scotland entered a charity auction last month and paid $170,000 for a pair of tickets to the show.

FANS DESCEND

Fans from around the world selected by lottery began arriving in London several days ago to collect their tickets.

"We turned up on Saturday, but we were told to come back the next day as we would still be at the front of the queue," said David Beesmer, 42, a businessman from New York who spent more than $7,000 on his ticket and trip.

"I didn't want to take any risks," he told the Daily Mail.

Net profits from the concert will go to the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund which provides scholarships for gifted children.

The Turkish-born music promoter and record label founder died last year aged 83 after slipping backstage at a concert by the Rolling Stones and going into a coma.

As well as Led Zeppelin and the Stones, Ertegun and his Atlantic Records helped launched the careers of acts ranging from Ray Charles to Aretha Franklin.

He was born in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1923. His father, a lawyer, served as Turkish ambassador in Switzerland, France, England and the United States.

With older brother Nesuhi, he explored black neighborhoods in Washington and they amassed more than 20,000 78-rpm records.

Realizing he knew more about music than most label owners, he co-founded Atlantic in 1947 with blues expert Herb Abramson and a $10,000 loan from a Turkish dentist.

Its first smash hit was a 1948 rerecording by bluesman Stick McGhee of the novelty ditty "Drinking Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee."

Led Zeppelin Reunion Wows London

2007-12-11T06:20:01Z

Led Zeppelin Reunion Wows London, Keeps World Guessing on Tour
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=a6sXAi67skhY&refer=home#

By Mark Beech

Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Led Zeppelin played its first concert in 19 years, leaving a London audience of 20,000 people calling for more -- and the world guessing on whether the band will tour.

Last night's show, described as ``rock's biggest reunion'' by other stars at the O2 Arena, was hailed by fans as immaculately performed. The only disappointment was no announcement on whether it will be the prelude to a longer return.

It was billed as a not-to-be-repeated charity event, though the demand could persuade the group to join a lucrative reunion bandwagon that includes the Police, Eagles, Who and Spice Girls. ``Led Zep'' could make $3.2 million a night, Billboard estimates.

``This was unforgettable,'' said concertgoer Martin Slaney. ``It was a monumental event that I was lucky to win a ticket for. They played like they had never been apart and were note perfect. This has to go down as one of the greatest comeback concerts of all time,'' said Slaney, who works for GFT Global Markets Ltd.

The audience ovation began with the opening ``Good Times Bad Times'' as Robert Plant intoned the words: ``In the days of my youth/ I was told what it means to be a man/ Now I've reached that age/ I've tried to do all those things the best I can.'' Blistering accounts of ``Ramble On'' and ``Black Dog'' followed. Then Plant said good evening. This was just the start.

The audience went wild at the end of a show of 16 songs and would not let the band go. A storming take on ``Whole Lotta Love,'' one of Zeppelin's most famous songs, stirred up emotions after a driving set of pounding rock by founder members -- guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Plant and bassist John Paul Jones -- joined by Jason Bonham, son of their late drummer, John Bonham.

`Gig of the Century'

``We are seven years into the millennium,'' said fan Janie Oldfield, 25, from London, in an interview. ``For me, we've seen the gig of the century. It's easily the best concert I've ever seen.'' Oldfield's ticket was bought by her mother Sue, 51, who queued with her to get the pass needed to get in. ``You could sense rock history being written,'' said Oldfield, a fashion designer.

The show, in rehearsal for three weeks, included nearly all of the Zep classics. ``For Your Life'' was given its live debut. A 10-minute rendition of ``Kashmir,'' with a spectacular light show, had thousands of fans dancing to the infectious beat, including me.

The bearded Plant, 59, told the crowd that ``Dazed and Confused'' had to be on the set list and the band responded with a standout performance, equal to some of those at its 1970s peak, crowned with spaced-out feedback.

White-haired Page, 63, added a crazed guitar solo to ``Stairway to Heaven.'' It sounded even better than some of the live performances captured on albums such as ``How The West Was Won,'' ``The Song Remains The Same'' and various bootlegs.

`No Quarter'

``I was speechless,'' said another fan, Emmet Owens, 26, from Derry, Northern Ireland, who sat three rows from the front. ``I could not find any faults. `No Quarter' was amazing.''

The event will benefit the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which provides students with annual scholarships to universities in the U.S., U.K. and Turkey. The late Ertegun, an industry leader for six decades, was the co-founder of Atlantic Records. He died in New York last December from a head injury suffered when he fell backstage at a Rolling Stones concert in October. He was 83.

Singer Paolo Nutini, 20, the last British act to be signed by Ertegun, said in an interview before the concert that Led Zeppelin was ``about to prove'' that it was the best band in the world again. Foreigner's Mick Jones, also arriving for the show, said that Zeppelin's reunion ``raised the bar'' for everybody else.

Wyman, Emerson

Zeppelin, which has sold more than 300 million albums, was the biggest name on the concert list which also featured performances by Nutini, Foreigner, Bill Wyman, Keith Emerson and Paul Rodgers.

Tickets originally cost 125 pounds ($254) and were available through a ballot at http://www.ahmettribute.com . The ballot had more than a million entries. The site had 25 million hits from those trying to register and crashed as 80,000 people a minute clicked on it.

Tickets were later offered on EBay for as much as $10,000 each for ``buy it now'' sales. Promoter Harvey Goldsmith tried to prevent reselling of tickets by insisting on strict identification checks. Fans had to present a photo ID, the credit card used to book the ticket and a confirmation code. Lucky winners, who were given a non-transferable bracelet, traveled from more than 50 countries, and some queued for six hours.

The most expensive tickets were 83,000 pounds for a pair, paid by Glasgow businessman Kenneth Donnell in a charity auction.

Bonham's daughter Zoe said in an interview as the concert got under way that her brother Jason was ``not at all nervous.'' It was the first time that she had heard Led Zeppelin perform live. (For the record, Bonham was strikingly good, and Page showed no sign of suffering from his finger injury that had delayed the concert from November.)

Atlantic Label

Led Zeppelin, formed in 1968, was named after an in-joke that the band's heavy sound would ``go down like a lead balloon.'' The quartet signed with Atlantic the same year.

By the early 1970s, ``Led Zep'' was describing itself as ``the biggest band in the world.'' The group pioneered heavy-metal music with songs such as ``Whole Lotta Love'' and ``Stairway to Heaven.''

Led Zeppelin broke up after Bonham died, aged 32, in 1980. Page and Plant have often performed and recorded together since then, though not under the group's name. Jones, who played keyboards as well as bass, joined reunions at 1985's Live Aid and a 40th anniversary concert for Atlantic in 1988, also with Jason Bonham on drums.

The show was watched by Noel Gallagher of Oasis, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Dave Grohl, frontman of Foo Fighters.

Critic Killer

Of the many hundreds of rock gigs I have seen over the years, this was one of the best. If I hadn't got a press pass, I would have paid whatever for the privilege (though 83,000 pounds might have taken some explaining to my other half).

``Since I've Been Loving You'' was the sort of track to kill those critics who say Led Zep can only do loud and insensitive. It was as tender and sweet as they come, with Page adding little guitar flourishes to each line.

The show was filmed, so we can pray that it will be released at some stage. Even better would be a world tour so everyone else can see how good a rock band can be. Let's hope.

drummer maimed in July 4 Dolores Park bombing - update

2007-12-10T23:32:31Z

Good news is that depite one missing and two non-functional fingers, the 17 year old female drummer maimed by a thrown homemade bomb on July 4th in Dolores Park ( http://fullvaluereview.com/2007/07/22/roisin-isner-a-closer-look/ ) will be back on tour this month with the band Tinkture. see http://myspace.com/tinkture for dates. Oh, and it definitely was a bomb: police were led to an exploded steel CO2 cartridge at the scene. see http://youtube.com/watch?v=5zlX7JOOPE4

Also good news is that we found out who did it: piece of shit LA gangbanger, Hector Chicas aka "Scrappy", member of Santa Monica 13, a small group of lowlifes and the only gang left in Santa Monica.

Unbelievably bad news is that police have informed us that an arrest in the case is highly unlikely, even though it is officially a bombing investigation, even though they know who did it, even though there are reliable witnesses. Problem is the cops are in SF while the bomber is in LA and it's just too much trouble to properly investigate, so the SFPD brass pulled the plug on the investigation.

We learned of Scrappy's identity through an SF musician, Eric Shea, formerly of the band Parchman Farm. Eric does a weekly hotdog thing at the Casanova Lounge. Eric reposted an email about the incident on July 5th through myspace. A surfer friend of his in LA got back to him that day saying that some gangbangers he knows were on the beach in Malibu talking about it that day, july 5th. One of them, Hector Chicas, aka "Scrappy", told of how he was in Dolores Park the night before and was throwing bombs, how one came too close to some girls, how they headed back to LA that night to "get the fuck out of Dodge". Hector said, "I hope I didn't hurt her too bad." Witnesses claim that the assailant ran after the attack, only to come back soon after to set off more explosives and was seen laughing about the incident with his group of thugs. Witnesses describe a long-haired attacker while Scrappy's mugshots show him with a shaved head; Santa Monica PD confirm, however, that Scrappy had grown his hair long. SMPD also confirm that Scrappy lives with his mother in Malibu and is a complete asshole who gets drunk, does insane things and then fights the cops. Scrappy's myspace is http://myspace.com/bronzesuperman Apparently, criminals often have myspace pages under their real names filled with uplifting spiritual jargon to show their parole officers...they then have another page showing who they really are: scum.

Unfortunately, the surfer in question is unwilling to contact police and Eric Shea is unwilling to name him. Eric said that if he did name him, he would "never be able to surf those points again". His concern is his LA surfing priviledges! What a spineless, self-absorbed worm. Basically, Eric Shea is ensuring that Scrappy goes unpunished. Here is an email fron Eric to the drummer's father:

Chis, we can do two things now. 1.) I can alert my attorney Matt Gonzales about this and have Sergeant Carl Fabbri arrest you (months ago I filled out tons of paperwork about your harrassing me to help build the case should it come to this). 2.) I can succumb and give you the name that you keep harrassing me for, providing that you first take the libelous information down that you just posted up. I'd rather do the latter and keep everyone's holidays relatively happy. But that's up to you.

Can you believe it?? So far, Eric hasn't "succumbed". Perhaps the SF music community would like to tell Eric what they think of him: his phone number is 415.756.8448, email mondaynighthoot@yahoo.com, myspace http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=11670478

if you have any helpful info, please contact the drummer's father: chrisisner@hotmail.com and please repost this far and wide.
thanks.

My ABBEY ROAD Crossing + my cover of I'll Get You

2007-11-20T07:12:34Z

Something different from me here. In August of 2001 we were in London and visited the Abbey Road Studios (U2 was in London and rumor had it that the band was using the studio at the time)
This video was shot by my wife and she managed to capture my crossing Abbey Road when traffic was clear! The sound in the video is not very interesting so I paired it with my solo acoustic cover of an early Beatles song, I'll Get You and it just so happened my audio recording was the same length as my video clip!

I Now Have 3 Songs on Clear Channel radio!

11/13/07 Update: This Morning Clear Channel notified me that another song I submitted has been selected. The song is a cover I did of my good friend Rob Moynes' song BUCKETS OF TEARS. Rob is a truck driver from Ottawa and wrote a great song here.

I just created a new video playlist for the 3 songs I have on Clear Channel. If you go to this playlist you will see the songs with the links to clear channel in the description for each. It is a very easy way to click all three without having to watch the videos again! Any help would be much appreciated by Rob, Howard and Me!

Zen blues quartet new CD!!!

2007-11-07T21:10:35Z

Dear Friends,

Zen Blues Quartet©, and Shunyata Records®, is proud to announce the release of the Band's 2nd CD, "Again and yet again"!! Following up the well received debut Album "Zen Blues Quartet", this CD moves to another level altogether, as a powerful and unique voice in Modern Blues Music!

ZBQ is:
Mike Finnigan - B3 and Vocals, (Jimi Hendrix, Etta James, Peter Frampton, Rod Stewart, Ringo Starr, Dave Mason, Joe Cocker, Bonnie Rait, Crosby Stills and Nash...), Steve Ferrone - Drums (Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Average White Band...), Tim Scott - Bass and lead vocals (Jack Mack, Tower of Power, Robben Ford, Stevie Wonder...) and John March - guitars, producer and mixer.

This is an explosive and amazing CD of Modern Blues and Soul music, with unbelievable vocal performances by Mike Finnigan and Tim Scott, great funky grooves and burning Guitar!!

Zen Blues Quartet is comprised of some of the best session musicians, who have worked as sidemen for the some greatest Blues, Soul and R&B artists in the world. (Please see credits list below). Zen Blues was originally formed as an opportunity to play Blues the way the musicians wanted to, without being beholden to a Label or specific Artist. The first CD was done as an experiment in Art for the sake of good Art, and it did exceedingly well. The new CD is a tour de force exploration of Modern Blues. Like nothing you have heard before!!

Veteran sideman and B3 virtuoso Mike Finnigan has joined the band as the new Keyboard player and Vocalist extraordinaire!! Plus we have the LA Horns featuring: Bill Churchville on Trumpet,
(Willie Nelson, Joe Cocker, Elton John, Rickie Lee Jones), Rev. Dave Boruff on Tenor and Alto Saxes (Everyone!! lol),, and Ed Wynne on Baritone and Tenor saxes. Plus many special guests sitting in on the CD, Marty Greb on Keyboards, (Bonnie Rait, Aaron Neville, Rick Danko), Curtis Salgado on Blues Harp, (Robert Cray, Steve Miller, Santana), Carmen Grillo on Vocals, (Tower of Power and Sons of Champlin), and many others!!

Comments on the new CD:
"At a time where the Music Industry is changing rapidly, and it seems that great music is forgotten, Zen Blues Quartet is the proverbial Light at the end of the tunnel!" Rabid ZBQ fan!!!

"This project started with the belief that basically we all missed hearing great tunes, with a sense of something powerful and just a a little bit dangerous. Music, at least for me, has gotten a bit formulaic and I wanted to make something that took chances and explored powerful spaces. I think I have always wanted to make one great recording that just shows what happens when good players get in a room and really tear it up! I am honored and proud to have made such a beautiful and powerful CD with such great musicians. Every time I hear Mike or Tim sing I am reminded of why I wanted to play music in the first place. That powerful, hair standing up on the back of your neck, chills up and down your spine, heart pounding feeling, that only happens when you are hearing the real deal! Mike and Tim are the real deal, and I am proud to have been able to help bring this Music out into the world!" John March Guitarist/Producer for ZBQ

If you pre-ordered your CD it will soon be in your hands!!! We are going to ship by 11/29!!!

OZZY OSBOURNE - BLACK RAIN

2007-11-01T03:31:30Z

I forget exactly how long it's been since it's release dat but it has been out for a while. I finally got it today and honestly think it is his best cd EVER. I love ALL of his cd's but this one if great. I dont read much about it before so didnt realize Black Rain is talking about sending our chilren off to the dessert to die. All the lyrics in all the songs are incredible. All the instruments are great but the guitar is incredible. I should really know this but have to find out if it is still Zakk Wilde on guitar? INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

LOVES IT!!!!!!!

I got a new Papa Roach cd today too called the Paramour Sessions. I think it's new. I dont know much about them but I really like this music and have one of their other cd's. This one is pretty cool. My supervisor told me she thinks they might Christian guys? Not that it matters. Just a tid bit of info. Supposedly P.O.D. and Creed are too. I love ALL POD but only got into the first Creed cd called My Own Prison. I do like Creed on the Stoned Immaculate tribute cd for the Doors. They did Riders on the storm.

I'M NOT IN LOVE - 10CC song

2007-10-23T17:41:46Z

As Monty Python would say "and now for something completely different".
I just learned this song while recording it and quit after many tries and FINALLY playing it all the way through. One of those nights when I shut the door and was determined to at least get one full take. So here it is for better or worse...exhausting....Love the song BTW, no way anyone can even touch the lush production of the original (with 256 layers of vocals!).

Is anyone here actually going to pay 150 bux to see these guys? Is there an opening band on the tour? I love them but their tickets need to be cheaper and they need to put out a new album and Michael Anthony needs to be a part of it. Fuck Wolfgang! These guys are total dicks now. Fuck Van Halen! They are assholes!!!

I reserve the right to change my mind. Right now this is truly how I feel about them.

Making A Comeback ... the Rules!

2007-10-13T14:24:44Z

"DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS!" so said LL COOL J in an early album of his. We've all seen The Artist rise to new heights, just as we're still watching the deconstruction of Britney Spears unfold before our TV. Here's the thing, if you were called in to shelf some advise on what's required for an artist to stag a successful coemback, what rules would you wish for him/her to adhere to?

Mine would be to first get involved into a mind cleansing program, at least to get rid of all the bad garbage in his/her system.

Crosby Stills Nash & Young Cover - Country Girl (w/ harmonies)

2007-10-04T06:19:49Z

I took my solo acoustic cover of Country Girl (from the Crosby Stills Nash & Young album Deja Vu) and added vocal harmonies where they belong. It made me realize that first of all one guy armed with only a guitar and one microphone can't ever hope to come remotely close to beautiful CSNY harmonies. They are masters of harmony and the best in the world so I could have easily just said forget it but I had to try anyway just to see what I could do with it. I gave it my best shot.
I carefully overdubbed about 4 vocal harmonies one at a time (a lot of work). Give it a listen and see what you think. A real tough song to cover vocally for sure!

Collaboration on Original Song with BMI songwriter

2007-09-28T20:38:28Z

Lyrics written by BMI songwriter Howard C. Holbert with music composition and song performance by Me. My first song listed as co-author and registered today with BMI. Here's a rough demo solo acoustic version:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LB6vISIgSw

No Promises

Just in case I might be wrong,and today is all I get,
I’d like to say how much I Love you,and hope we never forget
tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young ,or old alike,
and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight,

so if your waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
Tomorrow may never come,
So stop wasting your time away

No Promises.....There are no promises

When you didn’t take the extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
Too busy to grant someone what could be their last wish,
so hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,
tell them how much you Love them, and always hold them dear,

take time to say I’m sorry,
forgive me, or it’s OK,
and if tomorrow never comes,
you’ll have no regrets today.

No Promises.....There are no promises

So Just in case I might be wrong,and today is all I get,
I’d like to say how much I Love you,and hope we never forget

Led Zep set for London reunion gig

Led Zeppelin set for reunion gig in London

LONDON (Reuters) - Rock legends Led Zeppelin were set to announce a one-off comeback concert on Wednesday nearly three decades after disbanding.

The group split in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham and have performed only a handful of reunion gigs, last taking the stage 12 years ago at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Music Web site NME.com reported the show will be held in November in London.

Bonham's son Jason is expected to wield the drum sticks for the band known to many fans simply as Zep.

Rounding out Led Zeppelin, rated the best ever hard-rock band by U.S. channel VH1, would be its classic founding trio of singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones.

NME.com said it would be a one-off show, not a full-fledged reunion tour.

Plant and Page have joined forces over the years, notably on an album in 1994, but Jones has been more distant. When Bonham passed away after a long battle with alcoholism, his bandmates said Led Zeppelin, formed in 1968, had died with him.

November is the scheduled release month for a greatest hits collection from the band.

The reunion gig is slated for London's 02 Arena, which has a capacity of 20,000.

Jazz Legend Joe Zawinul Dies at 75

2007-09-11T17:15:28Z

another one lost......Glad I saw him when I did

By VERONIKA OLEKSYN – 1 hour ago

VIENNA, Austria (AP) — Joe Zawinul, who soared to fame as one of the creators of jazz fusion and performed and recorded with Miles Davis, died early Tuesday, a hospital official said. He was 75.

Zawinul had been hospitalized since last month. A spokeswoman for Vienna's Wilhelmina Clinic confirmed his death without giving details. His manager, Risa Zincke, said Zawinul suffered from a rare form of skin cancer, according to the Austria Press Agency.

Zawinul won widespread acclaim for his keyboard work on chart-topping Davis albums such as "In A Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew," and was a leading force behind the so-called "Electric Jazz" movement.

In 1970, Zawinul founded the band Weather Report and produced a series of albums including "Heavy Weather," "Black Market" and "I Sing the Body Electric." After that band's breakup, he founded the Zawinul Syndicate in 1987.

Zawinul, who was born in the Austrian capital, Vienna, and emigrated to the United States in 1959, is credited with bringing the electric piano and synthesizer into the jazz mainstream.

This past spring, he toured Europe to mark the 20th anniversary of the Zawinul Syndicate. He sought medical attention when the tour ended, the Viennese Hospital Association said in a statement last month.

Austrian President Heinz Fischer said Zawinul's death meant the loss of a "music ambassador" who was known and cherished around the world. "As a person and through his music, Joe Zawinul will remain unforgettable for us all," Fischer said in a statement.

Austrian Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer praised Zawinul's "unpretentious way of dealing with listeners" and said he wasn't "blinded by superficialities."

"Wherever he performed, he impressed with his playing," Gusenbauer said in a statement.

Zawinul's son, Erich, said his father would not be forgotten. "He lives on," Erich Zawinul was quoted as saying by APA.

Zawinul played with Maynard Ferguson and Dinah Washington before joining alto saxophonist great Cannonball Adderley in 1961 for nine years, according to a biography on his Web site. With Adderley, Zawinul wrote several important songs, among them the slow and funky hit "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy."

Zawinul then moved on to a brief collaboration with Miles Davis, at the time Davis was moving into the electric arena. It was Zawinul's tune "In a Silent Way" that served as the title track of Davis' first electric foray.

Funeral plans were not immediately released, but Vienna Mayor Michael Haeupl told reporters he would be given an honorary grave in the capital.

Favourite Movie Soundtrack Album

2007-09-07T20:42:44Z

All right happy people, so far that I've been here, there's one subject of music that we've barely talked about, and that's our love for movie soundtracks. It is known that much sountrack albums are made and released just so the movie studios can further capitalise some additional gain on whatever movie they're vying to promote, but nonetheless there have been ones that have remained ever indelible in our hearts.

For me, I've got two:
1) PURPLE RAIN: Prince & The Revolution
2) The BEST MAN soundtrack

Lyrics you thought were something else.

2007-09-02T23:16:59Z

What are some song lyrics you used to think said something different? Then finally discovered they were saying something else.

When I was really young I knew I was gay. Every time the Police song Roxanne would play in the car I would clam up. I loved the song but when Sting sang "I won't share you with another boy." I thought he was saying "I was playing with another boy." For some reason it used to embarass me. lol That song was very provocative to me when I was in elementary school.

I do this all the time. People crack up. I actually can't think of too many off the top of my head at the moment (redundant ) but a couple of weeks ago at work my friend Vince was in my office using the scanner / fax thingy and I had Pink Floyd Playing. I started singing and changed the lyrics to

"Homo. Homo again! I like to be queer when I can.............. " ".......It's good to stroke my bone beside the fire."

This guy must be 85 years old now. : ) He has been around FOREVER!!! Maybe he has found the elixer of life like that lady in All About Eve. Maybe rock & roll is keeping him alive. I think it's why I'm still here. Long live rock & roll !

The Trouble With R.Kelly

2007-08-13T19:32:25Z

First there was the arrest for sleeping with a minor, and then the videotape showing him doing it. I've got to say, the first time I saw it, I found it hard saying it was him ... but then again, I guess I was wrong. And now the fact that if he gets sentenced for it, it's going to be 15yrs in the slammer.

Anyone here think he deserves what's coming to him?

Songs that touch the heart.

2007-08-13T19:29:31Z

Songs that are meaningful and special. The lyrics really speak to you. This is one that really gets me emotional. It was out prior to 9/11 too. I think of 9/11 and the times we live in when I hear it now. I have it on Don Henleys hits cd called Actual Miles.

New York Minute -

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he wont be down on wall street
In the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesnt matter anymore
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebodys going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get a little strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fools advice
And take care of your own
One day theyre here;
Next day theyre gone
I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
Baby, Ive changed. please come back.
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know theres somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
You can get out of the rain
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute

Tarantula video. The music is pretty good. Killer guitars. I was into them (like Nirvana) when they first started out and like their ealier stuff. Then Sharon Osbourne paid 1 or 2 million dollars so she could break her management contract with them. She said no price was too high to not to have to ever look at or speak to Billy Corgan EVER again. If she still hates him I do to. FUCK YOU BILLY CORGAN!!! Whiney assed little bitch cunt!!!!!

My Original Song up to #20 at Neil Young's website!

2007-07-19T05:40:51Z

My original song is climbing the Protest Video chart at Neil Young's website. It is now up to #20 (out of 260). You can help it go higher by going to the website and clicking on the link there. I guess songs are rated by number of views they get.

Song is called "Where Is Your Soul?" and you'll see the link at #20. I am totally amazed that an amateur like me with just a simple microphone and acoustic guitar could get this high. It really does come as a surprise especially because this particular song is unrehearsed and just played from the gut. I have heard that Young likes that method of recording so perhaps that's why he chose the video for the list.

Here's the link to the website and Thanks for your help!

Some guy wrote a new book about his death. I will probably read it at some point. The Jim Morrison chapter in The Covert War Against Rock is pretty interesting as well.

Fresh, jAzzy, sexy. Amy is a delight.
I heard rehab long ago and am sick of it. Never gave the singer a second thought, then I head some others by her. HAWTDAMN, what a treat!
