PaperThinWalls Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 An abnormality in the BB's discography. Love that Tom Waits stuff too. Really like the Russian Dance song, The Briar And The Rose. Probably my favourite Tom Waits album. Wonderful pick. I absolutely love all the work that came from the "Smile" sessions. "The Elements: Fire" has such a childlike dementedness to it that I adore so much. Great backstory to the song, too. Regarding Waits' "The Black Rider," have you seen the musical the album is based upon? Currently the original Magic Bullets production is on YouTube, but I've held off watching it until someone translates all the German dialogue into English. What I've heard and seen, though, is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 With you on the Smile stuff. I was very happy for Brian, tears in my eyes, that he was able to finish it but I still remember my excitement in the late 90's when the only way to hear it was by pieced together fragments on tape. Haven't seen the Black Rider musical, it's been something that I've been meaning to check out but I think as a stand alone album it works quite well. Some lesser known Beatles stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaperThinWalls Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 ^ Ha! Nice! Ray Davies' wit is to be admired that's for sure. Brian Eno's first, underheard single (w/ a goofy performance to boot): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Eno's first, underheard single (w/ a goofy performance to boot): Poor Eno. heh... I always found Eno a bit goofy until he found solace in keyboards and ambient music. I think anyone who isn't familar with Eno might know this bit of music he created. "The thing from the agency said,’We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah- blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional,’ this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said ‘and it must be three and one quarter seconds long.'"

PaperThinWalls Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a6A6oTFdcw Highlight from a so-so album. There's an earlier version out there that he did during the After the Gold Rush sessions that has a sweet piano riff, but I prefer this rockabilly version slightly more.

In November 1983, following the commercial failure of Everybody's Rockin', Geffen sued Young for $3.3 million, on the grounds that this record and its predecessor were "not commercial", and "musically uncharacteristic of [his] previous recordings." Young filed a $21 million countersuit, alleging breach of contract since Young had been promised no creative interference from the label. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq-MeRMgTQQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
