Title: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: dustyvalentino on March 05, 2009, 03:44:27 PM
This is a thread for people to suggest music that other members of the AMIT forum may be interested in. Thanks to forum member BPDNEDCID for coming up with the idea for this thread.

Please follow these three simple guidelines:

1. Link only to sites that are recognised as being legal. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that youtube and lastfm are legal. If anyone wants to link to an alternative site, please do your research and ensure that it is entirely 100% above board.
2. Please allow a minimum of two days before posting a new link to allow members time to listen and discuss the previous suggestion.
3. Please give other people a chance to post links. In practice this means that you shouldn't be posting two links in a row, if you've posted let somebody else post next.

You can link to any artist you want, but it's probably best to try to use some common sense - although you may be a fan of Norwegian death-metal, it may not be that appealing to a large constituency of AMIT members.  ;)

With that in mind I'll kick things off by recommending Teddy Thompson, the last artist I saw live.

Teddy is the son of Richard and Linda Thompson, but don't let the whiff of nepotism put you off. He's a very talented singer/songwriter in his own right, and just like MK he's collaborated with Emmylou Harris.

Here's a link to a song from his most recent album A Piece of What You Need with a tasty guitar solo on it. Enjoy!

OK, I have listened to both of those clips:

Teddy Thompson - I really liked the song and would like to hear more of his work.   This is getting close to my kind of music!   :)

Chris Botti -   Hmm, not really my cup of tea at all.   I think an evening listening to him would give me a headache and I would have escaped by the interval!   Ave Maria is not a song I like much anyway, but much worse when played on the trumpet.  I didn't like the sustained note either.  Sorry BPD.    :(  It's a case of horses for courses.   ;D

and that is the feedback i like to see.
people liking and not liking proposals.
i also propose for the user who proposed a song, not to defend it in case someone doesn't like it, coz what is there to defend?? tastes differ.
love this thread guys,....
so no more new proposals now for how long??
coz 2 will do for a while, question is how long...
i like teddy's father a lot, so i assume i will like him as well.
will feedback later.

Dusty, did I hear something about youtube banning 'covers' of artists' music, as being illegal because on youtube they became public performances and infringed on royalty rights?   Was it right here and my memory is going bad?    But if someone captured an MK concert, that would be legally posted?    And. . . . . are those uploads of MK official videos legal?     

At any rate, I don't think we could be penalized for posting a link to any of the above.  If the video is pulled from youtube, then the link will not work.   As long as youtube carries it, they would be the ones who are liable.

i think it is difficult to "keep" the connection between the links in the one, and the comments in the other thread....
something we need to continue to think about it...

Agreed.

I also stick by my suggestion that there be a period of time between links to give people a chance to listen and comment, whether or not that's two days I'm not sure. Maybe one day?

I expect there to be a flurry of initial activity then things to slow down once people have posted their favourite artists. At least with the two day wait we won't have the situation of sitting around for ages waiting for a reply from whoever posted the question like in the Quiz thread that we used to have.

I like this guys,good idea BPDNEDCID  ;)

Being honest,I've never heard of teddy or Chris Botti before.As per the previous posters I liked Teddy more than Chris & could definitely see myself sitting listening to him for a few hours.When I listened to the link that Dusty put up I thought that he sounded a bit like Bruce Springsteen??? so I did a bit of searching on youtube - see what you think!Maybe its just that the songs are alike?

Once again a great idea for a thread - one question though,how do we know who's next to post an artist?

The way I envisage it, ANYONE can be next to post, providing they didn't post the last link and at least two days have passed since the first recommendation, so basically anyone except me can post tomorrow.  :)
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: dustyvalentino on March 06, 2009, 02:25:37 PM
OK, my computer at work won't let me play the Amazon video, so I listened to this instead:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOP6Trju4lY

I'm assuming it's not hugely different.

I like Ave Maria, I sang it solo at a friend's wedding once.  :)

I can appreciate Mr Botti's skills as a muscian, but I wouldn't really listen to this again - I don't tend to listen to a lot of instrumental music except maybe guitar stuff by the likes of The Shadows, Chet Atkins and Duane Eddy.

But his trumpet tone was good, the start of this reminded me of the music from The Godfather.  :) I've seen him live with Sting in about 1998 I think, and I've seen Paul Simon live a few times but I'm not sure if Chris was there or not.
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: superval99 on March 06, 2009, 02:40:13 PM
It is quite a bit different from the Amazon version.  The trumpet on this sounds much more mellow, not so much triple-tonguing and no sustained notes. Obviously it's the official version, the Amazon was live.   Although I still don't like Ave Maria, this version was better for being diluted with a heavenly choir!  :)

Ha, hadn't noticed that, but now you come to mention it they are similar - though Teddy's song came our first.  :)

Never heard that version on the ukulele, but the original is my favourite TT song and maybe one of my favourite songs ever:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEhWktE3njQ

Funnily enough I just bought my soon-to-be-2 son a ukulele for his birthday - start 'em young I say!
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: superval99 on March 06, 2009, 04:22:38 PM
I find both of these songs too repetitive - too many "In my Arms" and too many "Working on a Dream" s!   :)
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: dustyvalentino on March 06, 2009, 04:25:20 PM
I take it you don't like True Love Will Never fade or This Is Us either then.  ;)
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: superval99 on March 06, 2009, 04:35:31 PM
No, I love both of those, in fact TLWNF is amongst my very favourite MK songs and I play it every day (the live version with the cittern).  BTW When I posted my previous remark, I knew exactly what your reply would be!  ;D 

I think it's because the words TLWNF are not repeated regularly throughout the song, just now and again.  It doesn't bother me one bit at the beginning either.  I loved this song right from the moment I first heard it.   It also has a very pretty melody, which the other two don't have and a very charismatic singer in MK!  ;)

I don't like "Do America" though!  ;)

In reply to Waterline man's question re how do we know who can post next, why don't we have a list, a bit like putting your coin on the snooker/pool table in the pub when you want to play the next game.

That way we have an idea of future posts in the thread. If someone who has already posted notices that the thread has stalled then they can then re-add another.

They might want to also put the date alongside their name only (2-days) hence. Bit like this:-

Pottel            Friday 6th March
Next name      Sunday 8th March  (Then, say no-one post for a day or two)
Next name      Thursday 12th March
Next name      Saturday 14th March
Etc.
Etc.

lemme know what you think...
Now to listen to these 4 links......
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: superval99 on March 07, 2009, 09:36:11 AM
Thanks Maarten for your next two contributions:

1.  Leo Kottke.   Obviously, he is amazing on the 12-string, his fingers moved up and down the fret in an absolute blur!  Just like BPD, it reminded me of Deliverance.  I enjoyed what I heard, but that is the only thing I have heard him play so far, so I don't know if I would like more of his playing.   If I was to listen for an entire evening to him in concert or a whole CD with something in the same vein, I thing it would become very monotonous indeed. 

2. David Gilmour.  I do like David very much, but I feel that Marooned would have fitted in very well on "On an Island" - it is just SO similar to the music on that CD, both style-wise and also the title.   :)

Post by: Pottel on March 07, 2009, 09:50:56 AM
yep, the division bell...awesome cd...if you wanna start to get into pink floyd, start with that one.
live version is one of three ever played, at the 50th fender stratocaster anniversary.
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: Pottel on March 07, 2009, 09:54:05 AM
i got many live shows of him, and his talking in between cracks me up every time, he is funny. and his playing is very versatile, not all deliverance-style  ;D
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: superval99 on March 07, 2009, 10:21:48 AM
Pottel, I have lots of Pink Floyd CD's, including "The Division Bell" and live shows such as "Pulse", "Live in Gdansk", "Remember the Night" and DG CDs such as "On an Island".

BTW Does Kottke sing anything?

MK will ALWAYS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! be my no.1 guitarist of ALL TIME,

BUT..........................DG is a VERY.!!!!!!!!! close no.2. 8) 8)

Like MK, he gives me goosebumps, and listening to his guitar even moves me to tears (of ecstasy)

I like many other guitarists, but the above mentioned, imho are WAY ahead.!

Cheers   BBB

ps. If they ever worked together on a duet album, i fear my brain would EXPLODE.!!!! :o :o ;D
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: superval99 on March 08, 2009, 09:54:45 AM
BBB, MK will always be my No.1 too, for the simple reason that he can play such a variety of music and styles so impeccably, which is why I can never, ever get tired of him.   He excites me more than anyone else could ever do!  :)  He does all this without losing his own very recognisable and inimitable style!  :P

I am a fan of DG and EC too, but even these two do not produce this amount of variety.  DG's style is amazing and I enjoy listening to him, but it does sound very samey at times, just as I remarked before that "Marooned" from the "Division Bell" could easily have come from "On an Island".   ;)
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: dustyvalentino on March 09, 2009, 10:18:40 AM
OK, I guess it will take a little while for things to settle in and we are still establishing the rules at this point... BUT!

Pottel, you posted TWO links! The way I saw it, one person would recommend ONE artist (every two days). In other words, you should have suggested Leo Kottke or DG, but not both. :)

Is that OK? In terms of the number of links, I think it's OK to follow up your initial link with "supporting evidence", ie further info on the artist you are recommending/other songs by the same artist. I guess what i am trying to say is that I think we should only be discussong one artist at any particular time. OK?  :)
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: Waterline Man on March 09, 2009, 01:05:14 PM
Marteen,r u cheetin man ::) ::)

Seriously though,
Leo Kottke - I've never heard of him before but he can seriously play - I can see why MK & GF hold him in such high regard.

DG -to me he's Pink Floyd & I was never a real big fan I'm afraid.Yeah I know I'm a sad git but I was never really into PF :o :o

Its MK 8) for me I'm afraid,I can listen to him all day,every day & not get sick of it ;D - my kids are getting brain washed at this stage.There is a bit of "can we put the radio on for a change Dad" coming out at the moment though??????

Ok,I'm going to jump the gun & go next?

Dusty is going to be happy with this one,but I think that Big Country were one of the most under rated bands to ever come out of Scotland.They were BIG in our school days & I was lucky enough to see them live once - should have asked Stuart Adamson for his autograph but su're thats life.The afore mentioned Stuart Adamson is no longer with us which is a pity as he is a big loss to everyone including the music industry.
For anyone thats not familiar with them,they had big hits in the 80's/90's like, In a Big Country,Where The Rose Is Sown,Wonderland,Chance,Harvest Home,Lost Patrol,Just a Shadow,East Of Eden,Steeltown,look away,King Of Emotion,Ships & many more that you can freely find on youtube.
The one that I have picked is a song called John Waynes dream,which is not one of their most prominent,it was recorded on the Final Fling tour in Barrowlands Ballroom in Glasgow May 2000.

Take a look at Bruce Watson the other lead guitarist :o :o,is he into his music or what????

Ah shoot, I couldnt help myself,

In an effort to steer this Thread away from tennis shoes and back on topic (sorry guys!), I would like to add another link to the ever growing list of music we are sharing.    This next track comes from a jazzy/alternative artist by the name of St. Germain.  According to Lastfm: "St. Germain is the stage name of Ludovic Navarre, a French musician whose style merges jazzy house music with acid jazz."   The following track, entitled SURE THING, comes from his 2000 release, TOURIST, and the song features guitar and vocal work by the late, great John Lee Hooker.  This is simply a groovy, slick and chill song that I think many people here will enjoy.  It is the kind of song you can put on late at night and drink a beer to while smoking a cigar... or whatever you may do to relax!  If you do enjoy this track, also check out the track LAND OF... from the same release.  Here is the track on Lastfm:

Peace.

Well, I said that I thought things would slow down, but I didn't expect them to slow down so quickly!

Seeing as nobody else has, I'll make another recommendation:

Cory Branan. I don't know much about this guy and I kind of stumbled on him by accident. I heard a song by him called "Crush" on a podcast and it really stuck in my head, so I sought out the album it came from, The Hell You Say. Here's Crush:

http://www.last.fm/music/Cory+Branan/The+Hell+You+Say/Crush

I think it's a great song, and in fact the whole album is fantastic. He's a singer songwriter in the alt-country/Americana vein with some really great lyrics that are quite different to a lot of other stuff out there. Mostly acoustic but a few electric tunes on the album too, like this one:

http://www.last.fm/music/Cory+Branan/The+Hell+You+Say/Miss+Ferguson

Another great tune from this album:

http://www.last.fm/music/Cory+Branan/The+Hell+You+Say/Troublesome+Girl

Anyhoo, check it out, it's a great album.

OK, this thread seems to have died a death.

Anyhoo, I heard a fantastic track by Chris Isaak on teh radio called Cheater's Town.

I went and got the album, called "Mr Lucky".

Funnily enough, I put it on my iPod at the same time as Get Lucky. I have to be honest, and say that as good as Get Lucky is, so far I've been enjoyinging Mr Lucky even more.

I can't find anywhere online to listen to Cheater's Town, so just take my word for it. :)
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: IrisRose on August 18, 2009, 06:26:44 PM
I used to like Isaak's music, but sadly, I learned of his personality from former friends, and I just have a difficult time with him now.   Like Mel Gibson.   I used to think the was the sexiest thing on earth (next to Robert Redford and Dusty.)   Now, after his outbursts I can't stand to look at him.    I should be more forgiving.   No one's perfect.  Least of all me.

I bought the album that has Wicked Game on ita while ago, because that is an amazing track (and video Pottel!), but to be honest I got bored half way through the album and I've never listened to all of it.

Currently, my favorite album is Porcupine Tree's "The Incident", which just came out in September. PT just continue to amaze me. Love their sound. I got a chance to see them in NYC about a month ago, and I can't wait until they come back to the US early next year.

This guy from Canada plays a mean National lap steel. His new CD is called Bread and Buddah, and features 10 good tracks including 2 with amazing Indian sounds and vocals.....
He wrote his first song at 46 and it's thought that he is close to 70 years of age.

Hey Ian, I saw Harry Manx at a local venue just two months ago. He was terrific, does the rhythmic picking thing then adds Indian flavored slide over the top. He does a cool cover version of 'i'm on Fire'.
I wouldn't think he's anywhere near 70, he looks quite youthful live.

I am into the music of Loreena McKennitt for more than two years now, but it was not until last night that I heard on the radio a very rare Remix (left) of my favourite song "Caravanserai"(which is in a stunning live version on the right). This version is really awesome in my opinion, but I found out that this remix album is out of print obviously. So I suggest to you to listen to Loreena's music, and also, to answer me if someone has some idea how to get this remix album which has a lot of more other remixes
of Caravanserai on it as I understand.  ;D ;D ;D

If some 14 year old kid emailed PCM to say that they had built a red strat like MK's, would they arrange for him to come backstage? Maybe, but probably only if he had cancer (cynical, but likely).

Would MK famous for being a stickler for detail, then take a guitar he has never played before, the wiring of which could be dodgy and cut out at any time, and use it live?

Never in a million years. No chance.

I recently "discovered" Al Stewart's Year of the Cat. I highly recommend the album! It's fantastic from beginning to end. Incidentally, Al Stewart was born in Glasgow like MK, and oddly enough some of the songs on Year of the Cat have very similar lyrical themes to MK songs. (Songs about historical events...people..."characters"...) Interesting.

Usually 'electronic' music doesn't do anything for me, but this is an exception. Perhaps it has something to do with the footage, where does it come from?

BTW, recently I learned that Top Gear is a great way to get introduced to some interesting pieces of music, derived from soundtracks mostly (Hans Zimmer etc.).

Superval, have you ever listened to Giocondas' smile by Hadjidakis? One of his most popular, produced by Quincy Jones back in the 60ies, all instrumental. Probably my favourite record from this great composer, eventhough the Greek elements in this record are less "to the front" and obvious than the rest you mention.  I am surprised you know "Magnus Eroticus", his other masterpiece, since it is sung in Greek and that must be a boundary of some sort. How come you got to know all these recordings? Anyway, Portuguese Madredeus  were a big hit in Greece 15-20 years ago, with "O Pastor", and that goes to show that your connection with Hadjidakis' music is somehow correct! I loved them as well, bought 3 of their albums, but since I lost touch. Good to be reminded and remembered. "Existir" is their famous album, I guess it is not that hard to find. Now this would be a nice topic for a new thread: suggestions about music of a more "ethnic" nature. Of course people from UK and USA would have too much new suggestions, since the bulk of the music we listen to, come from these countries.
Anyway, if you liked Hadjidakis, you might as well try Manos Loizos, or a new group called Mat se dio ifesis.

Hi VGONIS2002!   No I haven't heard Gioconda's Smile, but I will look it up!   Thanks!

About the Greek music.  I first heard this music when I was at a restaurant at Kastro in Kefalonia.  I asked the owner of the restaurant what it was called and it was "35 Songs of the Roman Marketplace" - a double album, which dates back to 1935.  As I said, it suits the mood perfectly when I am in Greece, on a beach or on a mountainside, but I listen to it also when I am in my own home quite often.

I first heard "Magnus Eroticus" and "Village Named Desire" when, once again, I was in a restaurant, this time in Samos .   It doesn't matter to me that these songs are in Greek, because when I listen to them, my thoughts return to where I heard them!  It brings back memories of sunshine and the smell of herbs  :)

Pottel you amaze me! PF,BD,DS,MK and Aphex twin! That is what I call diversity! (I know what you are thinking right now, but it is a guilt free past for me!)

I have somewhere the Aphex DVD with the videos. Come to Daddy is scary, but what really gave the creeps (and a lot of laughter right) is this one!

Jackal, you can feed on hamburgers or you can feed on duck liver pate. (or whatever)   ;D No insult taken! I get your point. But these artists and acts are just the ones that surfaced from the underground scene that has been influencing and giving new ways of expression to ALL music. Like rap and electronic music (I would say blues and jazz but I am afraid I will be summoning the wrath of many readers! ;) ), have done 30-40 years ago. You don't actually have to like it. You just have to accept its existence and potential value. I have discovered so many things that owe to this music, from aesthetics to structures that even if I just listen to them rarely compared to  my favourite artists, I respect them and try to keep an ear to that direction.   I think that you should also try them, or at least give a try to Greek folk music, and of the balkans in general. . It is so rich of ideas and ways to express, that I still wonder why big acts haven't discover it, yet. (Zeppelin tried to do a similar thing with no quarter, but with eastern influences, and the movie broken flowers brought into our attention the Ethiopean take of jazz-rock and P. Simon and and and )
 
Pottel, I agree with you! Bring new suggestions on!

Rollergirl, originally I had the curiosity to watch it just for the aesthetics of the video. You don't have to like the music, ( which brings to my mind a similar discussion not so long ago   ;)  - but no, no comparison whatsoever) just take some good ideas from it!

You have my sympathy. I know that back pain is very bad because it restricts you, in addition to the actual pain and thought of the probable damage. But I also know some 100 year old people that go running! But you have moved to the next level, you will be more careful the next time! ;)

As for childbirth, I get the meaning, but in some cases the pain just gets bigger. ;D  (I adore my kids, but if you have seen "Married with children...)

Here in Greece it is either listening to this or our politicians. I prefer this.  :P

Thank you for your sympathy. So you mean I have moved to the next level, a level where you don't run down frozen kids' slides?  ;D (yes, that's what I did, at my age....). Time will tell  ;)

True but it's a different kind of pain once the child is born. (next level kind of pain I guess  ;D)

I agree with you, it's better to listen to music, even music one doesn't like, than listening to politicians, especially greek ones (although I wouldn't understand what they're saying, may sound like music to me)

You don't have to like the music,  just take some good ideas from it!

Hi VGONIS!    I agree entirely!   I equate it with some of the couture fashion shows from Milan, London, New York, etc where the clothes appear ridiculous and unwearable, but there is always something from them which will appear later in the high street shops that will be the very height of fashion for the ordinary woman in the street.   The same with music.  Something, no matter how small, will emerge from even the most unlistenable errrr, music and become the latest hit!   ;)
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: Jackal on February 17, 2012, 08:17:09 PM
I agree VG and Val. It can be "new", strange and inaccessible, but I steer clear of things that are outright ugly and vulgar. There's too much beautiful art to discover, so I'll happily skip the other stuff.
Title: Re: The Official New Music Thread
Post by: superval99 on February 17, 2012, 08:24:19 PM

Post by: vgonis on February 17, 2012, 10:13:30 PM
Pottel, I went there both days, but had to settle for a view far away from the stage, namely the rocks outside the theater, overlooking the theater and most of Athens! (The sound is fantastic up there, but the distance is a bit of a problem) For my wallet 40-50 Euros/day were too much even 6 years ago. I chose to buy their records instead. I found out about them in 1994 and really tried to follow their releases. Not like with MK, just albums and some maxi singles with the songs I like best.    These are the photos before the concert, and I have to find the rest. (Probably in color film, that wait to be filed...) Sorry for posting the same one twice!

At the same theater our man performed in 2008! This is a picture from the summit to show you the view! (this one from a Blues Brothers concert, late 1990ies.)

By the way, Europe thread doesn't allow me to post! Any ideas?

Superval, you said the magic words: little time. On these grounds I have to agree with you and Jackal, but the thrill of finding a new sound is very big, and if you don't search you don't find.  And yes, I agree, I don't have to dive in the pigsty to get the pearls, when there are plenty in the ocean or some fancy shop, but the metaphor thing is going too far to even understand what I am saying. I just think that discovering means that you might step on an ugly mine, even if it is hidden inside a beautiful prairie. You can't tell if something is beautiful until you taste it.  
I am not in favor of music just because it is "new", since new is every music that I listen to for the very first time. Or maybe it isn't. Because when you listen to the rolling stones you can hear Robert Johnson somewhere there, laughing along with the devil at the crossroads. And when something sounds  strange to your ears it must be at least intriguing to even label it as strange. As for inaccessible, well, some times I have to take the word of my friends for some things. They have devoted the time to listen closely and repeatedly some things before suggesting them to me. But they can't give me their experience as well. They can only reassure me that this difficult, seemingly inaccessible music, will reward me after repeated plays. One example for me is Kid A by Radiohead. I couldn't listen to it. And a friend of mine insisted it was great. I took this tape during my summer holidays and listened to it every day. He was right. Still not my favourite Radiohead album, but indeed, great.  I didn't know it was beautiful, until I understood it. Someone else had to tell me so. And yes many times I disagree with their choices, but I can only say that I don't understand it.  After all the very effort to define something as art, is a restrain. And art should have none of those. I always judge the result and not the means and i am certain of one thing, that I might be wrong.

Who likes Philip K. Dick? I am about to finish one of his non sci-fi books, "Mary and the Giant". A very nice book, and guess what the plot revolves around a music store. Some nice insights about music, before the rock' n' roll era. I liked one particular part. Quote:" Let's try and be reasonable.I agree that we have to be clear about the means and the end. But sound is not the means and music the end. Music is a term of evaluation, that applies in familiar sequences (motives) of sound. What you call sound, is just music you don't like!" Reply: "And what's more, if I kick a bunch of bottles, twice, I have the right to claim that I have composed something that is called Etude in Glass, isn't that so?"  (I am sorry for this on-the-fly translation. I have the book in Greek and I have to translate back to the original language English. ;)  )

The Harper Simon is very reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel. It is good that some children do not avoid sounding similar to their famous parents, if that means giving us such good little songs.
The Geraint Watkins song was great!

Absolutely!

Great roots music from a young singer/songwriter who still knows how country/folk/americana (no matter how you call it) should sound like. Amazing!
Not like all of this crap most country music stations are playing all day long.
I`ve discovered Tyler Childers about a year ago and since then he is a regular on my jukebox.

He is a total mess as a person, but artistically is a genius, which is what I like from him.

I'm fan of his music more or less since 2005, and I know from that moment he was an ass, that he was on alcohol and drugs, he's been on rehab multiple times and looks like he's sober from long ago, but he never stopped being an ass, only that the #metoo and #cancelationculture were not trendy yet...

Artistically he was a genius, and it's still very good, his last record is very good in my opinion.
