Good band. Saw them play this tune a heck of a long time ago .. :-)

Good bass in that song. But the greatest rock must be Black Hole Sun from Soundgarden.

Or I just clicked on the first thing in the suggested video's at the right. Yes, that must be it as the lyrics mean shit.

Audioslave Show Me How To Live - lyrics

another Cornell collaboration

Can top that.

Lemon Jelly - Nice weather for the ducks

The lyrics and tune are actually an old Dutch nursery cryme.

Devo - Through Being Cool

The video's noteworthy as well.

Rickie Lee Jones

not sure Beverly Sills could do this, the one time I got it all the way more or less perfect, I'd done cocaine. Hadn't done it before, and never did it after, precisely for that reason. The folly of running repeated experiments for corollaries between performance-and-drug seemed apparent . . . :)

also, the piano in a past life, covered both these tunes:

Sade

(they're too gooey for me now . . . :)

I like a few of her songs. The female Tom Waits.

Sade - Like a Tattoo

To me Regina Spektor is easily the best female singer/songwriter of recent years.

Sade and Rickie were sweet - liked the music - never owned an album though.

Yes, Rickie Lee, Sade sweet. but Tom Waits, now there's a soul-full . . . :)

Both Danny's All-star and the Sade tune I was hired for vocals. This is how this early career went - doing solo original things I wanted, then getting hired for vocals by various local groups. That rickielee tune took me almost 2 months of constant practice. The deal was, I'd do a 'set' with a given band/group, sort of a guest-thing, and they'd do one of my tunes with me, but I mostly did this alone or public-solo, and only when I wanted. The last thing was for some studio work wherein 3 of my own comps got space, but the thing is I'm not into any of it anymore. Those are lost somewhere in the zen analog garden and I don't seem to care. I picked up the guitar to raise my chops again on a half-dozen original tunes to play for someone a few years ago, but it's funny how once big it was and now how far away it seems, how long ago . . . .

I should save for another thread sometime why it lost its value for me. It's probably a little weird, and it has to do with a repulsion to notoriety - at least the kind that that kind of public performance can bring. One thinks if you're performing in public, that you belong to the public, in a sense. It really annoyed me that 'off-stage,' some people seemed to feel they had some sort of rights to your attention and time; that you had to talk to everyone, respond to everyone's anything, and I'm probably sounding mean and small about right now, but I really disliked being accosted and/or expected to continue pleasing/performing wherever I appeared near and around the thing. Do it long enough, and people will also think you want to be 'found,' acknowledged everywhere (invited everywhere; outgoing everywhere). It drove me nuts; it just drove me nuts, like being a suet cake upon which all and sundry might freely peck.

Okay, I said it. There's a little neurotic pye with which you can round out all the reasonable-ness and niceness :)

Jamesh . . . I just remembered this afternoon that I mentioned this once before years ago, and it was you who provided a story along similar lines about Doris Lessing and her dislike of what comes with notoriety.

If they're playing their pentatonics without the flat 5th they're not playin' the blues.
they might think they are playin' the blues but they're deluded.

If the context is blues, the flat 5th must be there as content.

blues is meaning of a kind.

therefore in all cases,

Context + content = meaning.

first time I met the blues,
oh yeah.
