WALTON COUNTY, Ga. (FOX Atlanta) -- People gathered Friday in Monroe to remember five victims who were lynched more than 60 years ago.
In 1946, a white mob brutally murdered four African-Americans on the Moore's Ford Bridge in Walton County. {Click here for the FOX story.}
Wifey, kids and I are heading out for almost a week, so my musicological intercourse with all of you will be totally reduced until that’s over with. To placate you, I’ll share a song ivylander passed onto me without comment last year, "Darlin’ Wait for Me" composed and sung by Richard Hawley from his 2005 CD Cole’s Corner. The singing, melody and arrangement are all perfectly fine. Because it’s so simple musically, my attention wandered to the lyrics. On the surface ... MORE
Here is the first song -- there are no tracks -- on Paul's new 49:00 release -- which is available as a 49 cent download this week at Amazon. If these are throwaways, I can't wait until his next proper release. Great stuff -- more later.
Here's some more funk for a funky friday,(with a little twist o' metal). Incubus from the "Enjoy Incubus" album.So....Enjoy, already!
of a song better known as a cover version - muscular shirt-avoiding ex-junkie Iggy Pop, now four years off qualifying for free travel on the bus, took this into the Top Ten at the start of 1987, but this is the original, from Sun Records in about 1959 (all one minute 54 seconds of it), by racist paedophilic hell-raiser, and maker of some of the most exciting records ever, MISTER JERRY LEE LEWIS
Here's two more Wondermints' gems... The first is a song that would fit PERFECTLY on either "Smile" or "Pet Sounds"... it's THAT good. "Tracy Hide" features lush harmonies and pristine production. I'll follow it up with another pop knockout (in the comments) "Proto Pretty." Check 'em out
This is the first of two posts on LA's premier pop band, The Wondermints. Brian Wilson is famously quoted as having said that if the Wondermints were his band back in 1967, he would have finished the legendary "Smile" album. As it turns out, the members of The Wondermints DID help him finallly complete the great unfinished pop masterpiece. I'm going to post four of their songs... if you're a fan of shimmering melodies and perfect vocal arrangements give 'em a listen... MORE
This game has been described as a social icebreaker, a "level playing field" game for young and old, or something very elementary. It's that grade school favorite, Musical Chairs, this time rendered as a Jazz piece for piano and synthesizer. One variant didn't need music, just some fruity names. Small groups ("Pears," "Bananas," "Apples") got to circle the chairs, unless a smart aleck called "Fruit basket!" in which everyone scrambled for a vacant chair.
Can one simulate roller coaster highs and lows with just a piano and a synthesizer? Billy Barber tries his best to put us in the Summer hot seat with this lively track. Or does this music go better with a metal 'coaster?
I was looking over the Friday posts, when the urge to look skyward came over me. For Something Completely Different, the Way Back Machine has been set to 1986. Back then there was an Jazz AM station in Honolulu, and a track that got regular play popped up one evening on TV during a "signal lost" segment. I wonder if "Uncle Martin" heard this piano+synthesizer track on Radio Phobos?
