What CD is in your car sterio right now?

[Shacopate]

Me - Nelly Furtado's...Loose

Can't stop listening to it!

[DJofSD]

Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks - "Where's the Money"

[DanG]

Shac,

Hope your still calling the Jacksonville phone bandit! It’s not funny, but you cracked me up with your quote from Pulp Fiction how certain things are just “against the rules”. So true!!! :)


CD in the car…

I was sent a real nostalgia package by my buddy who imports jazz / fusion etc…All the weird stuff I listen to and most people run from. The re-mix of Gentle Giant’s brilliant ‘”In a Glass House” will be in there in 5 minutes because I need to go out. True musical geniuses and I regret not seeing them live when I had the chance. I really love these guys. :ThmbUp:


BTW: I do admit to odd tastes musically. I don’t know of many people whose CD changer has Gentle Giant, Weather Report, Dixie Dregs, Captain Beefheart, Jonathan Richmond, Mozart, Count Basie and Dean Martin all on “shuffle”!!! :faint: :eek: :cool:

[DJofSD]

Ah yes, a wide variety that only differs slightly from mine.

One of these days I'll digitize some of my LPs and have some Capt Beefheart to listen too!

[BillW]

Sirius channel 16 ("The Vault") for me (of course when "At the Races" isn't airing on channel 126 :)). The CD player gets a rest.

DanG,

You are the man, dawg! We have GOT to jam sometime. The J'ville phone bandit...LOL! He just better hope that Chi-Chi lets go of this $hit.

Right now I'm listening to Niacin...with Billy "lights out" Sheenan on bass. I'm gonna cover track 12 - Spring Rounds - and pay the royalties - with these lyrics:

The song is called Hard Spun, I'll give a prize to the first person that can correctly identify how many racehorses are named in the song.

HARD SPUN

You can't alleviate the Shacopate,
Or extrapolate diffraction

Bright lights...shine on,
Bright light shine on,

Ah-Ohhhhhh (howling at the moon)

Ha-Ha!

I'm rollin' thunder,
Pourin' rain,
Brainstorm mounts the hurricane

Cause I'm brighter than the Sistine Chapel,
My tounge cuts like a scalpel

I'll chew you up like juicy fruit,
When rakehell turns the goosey loose,
Spit you out like a strike to Sosa,
The hip-hop Cassanova

I'm a Lord at war,
Conquistador,
Crackerap never heard before

A war machine,
A gullotine,
Heads roll when they battle me

Hard spun like a gun that doesn't quit,
Run dusty run when you hear my spit

You only know the tip of my iceberg,
I'll hit ya harder than a sawed-off Mossberg

Ah-Ohhhhhhhhh

Ha-Ha!

[DanG]

Right now I'm listening to Niacin...with Billy "lights out" Sheenan on bass. I'm gonna cover track 12 - Spring Rounds - and pay the royalties - with these lyrics:
Lyric’s with Niacin Shac?

I saw them out west and they KILLED! I love 3 pieces and with no guitar it really lets the bass get mixed up front and that’s the way we like it!!! :ThmbUp:

I’ve only heard them do instrumentals, so you would be on new ground with a lyric cover as far as I know.

Take care…

[46zilzal]

"A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed"

Yep...it's in the works. Listen to Spring Rounds off Niacin "Niacin" and you'll see where I'm going.

Don't have a car, but when I had a renter last week I found a couple early Bob Dylan CD that someone had dropped in a Borders parking lot. Felt a little guilty and would have taken them back in the store if the person had paid by credit card, but they were a cash purchase by the receipt from over an hour before I found them, so now they are mine (have them on vinyl too....) Kinda cool cruising about and listening to a little Masters of War was a nice treat.

[chickenhead]

Ever noticed some songs make you drive faster than advisable if you don;t watch it?

Wreck of the Old '97 -- Johnny Cash, played at ear splitting volume, and I'll win Daytona.


Well they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Said: "Steve, you're way behind time,
"This is not 38, this is Ol' 97,
"Put her into Spencer on time."

Then he turned around and said to his black, greasy fireman,
"Shovel on a little more coal.
"And when we cross that White Oak mountain,
"Watch Ol' '97 roll."

And then a telegram come from Washington station,
This is how it read:
"Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97,
"Is lyin in old Danville dead."

'Cos he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour,
The whistle broke into a scream.
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,
Scalded to death by the steam.

One more time!

Oh, now all you ladies you'd better take a warning,
From this time on and learn.
Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband.
He may leave you and never return.
Poor Boy.


You've got the band doing the greatest train sounds in the back (a damn fast train)...you've got Johnny wailing inspired steam whistle noises...oh man what a great song.

He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,
Scalded to death by the steam.

Theme music for the movie An American Werewolf in London.

Definitely...there have been scientific studies that have proven this point....

In fact, I was going 90+ yesterday on the L.I.E.....but then again, I've already mentioned what the last CD I burned was, so that should give me a good excuse in court....:lol:

[GaryG]

Ever noticed some songs make you drive faster than advisable if you don;t watch it?I once got a ticket for going 90 on a back road and tried to invoke the Free Bird defense. Judge laughed but I still paid.

Well, I am rarely impressed with mixes as I pride myself on painstakingly assembling mixes and have done so since my high school days when I would woo various gals with my compilations but you've done a nice job of construction and I tip my hat in your general direction.

Two cuts: The Wynton Marsalis Where Y'all At? and the Fais Do Do by Lefties Soul Connection. The former serves up an outstanding syncopated plate that drives with a time signature from another planet as the skin man is able to play willy nilly while the bass appears random though is the only stablizing entity. The later settles in a groove that would be the envy of any fledgling jam band.

Thanks for the link. How can I download more than just the first 3?

thanks for giving it a listen. i didn't even think anyone would....just threw it out there and with the hopes someone would appreciate it and if anyone happened to be into funky things....they would def be turned onto it.

fyi...i changed the link on vol 5, so now it can be downloaded. as for the others...i do not have enough server space to serve them up and they are buried on some older externals....perhaps i will dig them out soon and re-up them.

vol 9 should be on the way by the end of the month.

The Truth...

In the years since its release, "Eminence Front" has become the most consistently critically acclaimed and recognizable song from this album. Many people who dislike It's Hard as a whole still think "Eminence Front" is one of the best songs The Who have ever recorded.

New music doesn't sound as good...

The key to the problem is that, in making the soft parts of a track louder (in the process making the entire track loud), you lose detail in the song: The difference between what's supposed to be loud and what's supposed to be soft becomes less and less. The result is that, sure, the soft parts of a song are nice and loud, but big noises like drum beats become muffled and fuzzy... http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/33549

I remember the first time I went from 2 inch / 24 track analog to 32 track digital and thinking it was going to be so noise free that it would be pure. It was quiet allright, but it lacked warmth somehow.

Since then digital has come a long way though mic technics and room acoustics still remain play a big part towards personalizing a sound. I'd rather record with the sound of it's delivery rather than trying to get a sound with outboard effects.

Point taken Mack;

It is a matter of personal preference in the end. There is great irony in how many modern digital synthesizers are attempting to mimic the analogue patches of Zawinul for example.

While my recording friends have played me some stunning recordings that have been released lately, I do admit when shopping for new speakers I take two recordings with me and they are both about 30 years old. (I do admit to using the remastered version of both)




“Studio Tan” by Zappa (The digital remaster is amazing)
“What If” by the Dixie Dregs (Produced by the genius Ken Scott)
Both are near perfection to my ear and cover so many styles and ranges. :ThmbUp:

Duly noted Dan. I know Lou was/is an institution in the greater Manhanttan area and one summer I spent on the Rhode Island coast in college some guy would continually try and recruit me as a Lou enthusiast but it never took. He's the ultimate 3 chord king. Come to think of it Walk on the Wild Side is two chords for the entire song. I think it must be some sort of resentment thing with me that these cats are able to get so much milege out of three chords while I'm trying to write stuff with augmented 5th's and diminished 3rd's. In the end little matters but the hook. Just don't ask me to listen to Sweet Jane :ThmbDown:

A composition commemorating the foiled Napoleonic invasion into Russia always struck me as an unlikely patriotic piece frequently used in 4th of J celebrations as I would opt for the nationalistic program music of Wagner though fear it would be construed as being too reminiscent of The Third Reich

That is a great song. My dad was a big Johnny Cash fan, and I remember that song from when I was a little kid. While visiting my parents a few years ago, I pulled out the album and gave it a spin.Here is an "alternate" version to Wreck of the Old 97:

I was goin down the mountain
Makin 90 miles an hour
When the chain on my bicycle broke
I was skinned all over
By the rocks and gravel
And punctured to death by the spokes

[Pace Cap'n]

That ain't the way I heard it!

Wreck of the Old 97:
Odd story of how several people stepped forward to take credit for writing the song in '24 that went all the way to the Supreme Court with no resolution.

Woodman Guthrie, Flatts & Scruggs, many recorded the ballad.

Well they gave him his orders at Monroe, Virginia,
Said: "Steve, you're way behind time,
"This is not 38, this is Ol' 97,
"Put her into Spencer on time."

Then he turned around and said to his black, greasy fireman,
"Shovel on a little more coal.
"And when we cross that White Oak mountain,
"Watch Ol' '97 roll."

And then a telegram come from Washington station,
This is how it read:
"Oh that brave engineer that run ol 97,
"Is lyin in old Danville dead."

'Cos he was going down a grade making 90 miles an hour,
The whistle broke into a scream.
He was found in the wreck with his hand on the throttle,
Scalded to death by the steam.

One more time!

Oh, now all you ladies you'd better take a warning,
From this time on and learn.
Never speak hard words to your true-lovin' husband.
He may leave you and never return.
Poor Boy.

It was an "event song". The wreck was in 1903 on the outskirts of Danville, VA. There is a plaque where thr train left the trestle but is now just off a ramp for US 58.
