I am really enjoying the latest episode of Switched On Pop about the worst pop lyrics through history.

I had no idea people were so offended by John Mellencamp singing "slurpin' on chilli dogs" in Jack and Diane. And I never even noticed that Billy Joel says "tonic and gin" when everybody knows it's "gin and tonic" in Piano Man.

Do you desire love? Desire for that special person of your preferred gender to look at you with those adoring/lustful eyes (as seen on TV)? One of your best possible options is

1. Play something with strings
2. Sing this
3. At night
4. To the person

A day of sitting around waiting. One of the data centres I support is putting in additional DR network links to their Azure Cloud Services together with new firewalls. While not doing the work myself I was on call for testing. So a stack of CD's beside me, I fired up the HiFi and spent the afternoon listening to a mix of current and 1980's music from my CD collection. With the odd interruption from work when I had to test things. #Music #CD

I really really wish there would be a HD remaster available of this concert. I recorded it on VHS sometime in the late 80s to early 90s - the tape's been long since eaten by the VCR monster. I'm not entirely sure what it is that makes this so memorable, but somehow this has been on the back of my mind for over 30 years. I think it was quite unsuccessful back in the day, but there just is something there...

During the late 1950s, it was quite common to have references to current hit records in the lyrics of new songs. In some extreme cases, the lyrics were almost totally constructed of other song titles. These are the first five examples of this that came into my mind:

LEADBELLY
Leadbelly
Canada compilation reissue

It’s finally raining after a long stretch of brutal heat (thank god I wasn’t here), and it’s much needed.
There’s a lovely, gentle ambience outside, so I’ve got my windows open, and spinning THIS.

Kurt Cobain gave Huddie Ledbetter a remarkable second life some 45 years after his death. I know I myself wouldn’t be as well-schooled on his music without Nitvana’s rendition of “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?” from their legendary MTV Unplugged performance.

This is a killer compilation, with “Death Letter Blues”, “Black Snake Moan”, “Bull Cow”, and “Blind Lemon” on it (to name a few).

There is no better artist to drink Scotch to than Ledbelly.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
The Battle Of Los Angeles
2018 U.S. reissue

As per the power of @derbadian ’s suggestion.

Rage Against The Machine lit my 15 year old soul up when that first album hit.
I was such an angry kid; a child of divorce, lonely, disillusioned. A magnificently raw, teenage nerve.

I still love and respect all three of their studio albums, and still can’t figure out how they pulled it off.
They were a band that used their music as a vehicle for their politics. The politics came FIRST. It was not the other way around. And somehow, they became HUGE with that blueprint. Quite an incredible thing.

They were a greatest entity than the sum of their individual parts. Tom Morello’s crazy-ass guitar playing remains criminally underrated.

This will always be my favorite record of theirs.
Slayer after slayer.

THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS
The Moray Eels Eat The Holy Modal Rounders
2002 U.S. reissue
[Sundazed]

For years, friends urged me to try this record, but I never bothered.
It just didn’t seem like the kind of thing I’d be all that interested in.
I mean… Peter Stampfel HIMSELF loathes it. So why bother?

It took me finding a used copy out in California to finally give it a try. And what I’ve found is a weird, dumb curiosity of a record.

Apparently, the label mixed it in a more #psychedelic fashion (the band was not there), and chose not to include grooves in between the songs (an odd choice indeed). Add on top of that a band that was ZOOTED on copious amounts of drugs during recording, and you kinda get why this album is so off kilter and wildly uneven.

“Bird Song” did eventually make it into the film Easy Rider, per Peter Fonda’s request, and they’d go on to open for Pink Floyd.

Odd little record.

All these years later I see exactly why my teacher wanted us to watch it. The truth in that story never left me, and it is a big part of why I reject capitalism entirely today.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZaHf8RP6g

#Music #Capitalism #AntiCapitalism

That is the real precision of Interstella 5555. It shows how gatekeepers and managers often begin as supposed allies, only to turn into parasites that demand obedience. Resistance becomes irrelevant, silence and compliance become the only thing that matters to them. By the end, the music the band once owned has been taken, molded, and repackaged to keep the spotlight right where the manager wants it. It is not simply a battle over songs but over identity. The film might glitter with cosmic lights, but at its core, it is about the quiet cruelty of exploitation and how easily dreams can be reshaped into something unrecognizable.

#Music #Capitalism #AntiCapitalism

When I was in school from 2013 to 2016, my music teacher was the one who first made me look at this film in that way. They showed me how this was not some distant sci-fi tale but an allegory for what actually happens to artists. At first, the relationship between band and manager looks almost balanced. There is a promise of mutual benefit, a sense of working together. But over time, the balance shifts. The manager demands changes, reshapes the band into something more marketable, and strips away their voice. Because of the contract, the band cannot refuse. If they try, they lose any chance at survival in the world they have been forced into.

#Music #Capitalism #AntiCapitalism

I remember when I first saw Interstella 5555. It was like watching the curtain get pulled back on a system that was set against artists from the start. Beneath the colors and music was something darker, a story about gifted beings who create from the heart, only to be trapped in contracts that take away more than they give. It is not just a bad deal on paper, it is a slow rewiring of who they are, until their purpose stops being expression and becomes a product. Earl de Darkwood is not just a villain for the sake of the plot, he is the embodiment of an industry that shapes, controls, and drains its talent until there is nothing left but what can be sold. And once that value has been extracted, they are discarded without hesitation, like the scene where they plunge into lava after delivering the golden record.

While out dancing last night, the DJ played Sade's classic Smooth Operator.

And now I cannot get it out of my head that it has some really weird geography descriptors.

"Coast to coast, L.A. to Chicago, Western Maine" ??

What coast is Chicago!? the coast of Lake Michigan?

what the hell is happening in Eastern Maine that the smooth operator is only operating in Western Maine? A quick look at the map shows that there are basically no cities at all in Western Maine- so that's a strange place to be.

A quick look at a lyric site seems to think that the line is western male and not western Maine. I guess that makes slightly more sense, especially since he considers Chicago a coast and he only goes back-and-forth between LA and there.

but then she starts mentioning Key Largo, which is distinctly further east than Chicago.

this song is breaking my brain, and I am still not convinced that that line is western male. 🤣

Well, this turned out to be one hell of a scattershot playlist.

Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song
https://youtu.be/1kAIMlISHhU

For years I never understood why a song about the South included such a NY way of saying "Vicksburg"... turns out Mountain is from NY. The song is just about a Southern lady. Get your cowbell fix here.

Mountain - Mississippi Queen
https://youtu.be/qEnF6EB-yMs

This is my favorite Spaceslug side project. There's some words I didn't expect to type today.

Mountain of Misery - Not Away
https://youtu.be/ktnQcB6IvCA

My favorite song for luring unicorns into a trap to steal their kidneys.

FilmCow - Candy Mountain
https://youtu.be/CsGYh8AacgY?t=120

Speaking of unicorn related songs, this one is an instrumental metal track by a fictional band as featured in the webcomic Questionable Content. 🤣

The inimitable David Byrne has a new album coming out and is about to commence a 50-date North American tour. He talked to @RollingStone about the title of his new record ("Who is the Sky"), how Fred Armisen convinced him to try stand-up comedy, and why there won't be a Talking Heads reunion. "Musically, I’ve gone to a very different place. And I also felt like there’s been a fair number of reunion records and tours. And some of them were probably pretty good. Not very many."

R.E.M.
When The Light Is Mine: The Best Of The I.R.S. Years 1982-1987
2006 DVD issue

You’d be hard pressed to find a bigger, more obsessive fan of the early R.E.M. than me. The pre-Warner Bros. stretch of albums are impossibly good, just one after another after another.

I was really happy to find this out in L.A.; a collection of all their early videos, with live television performances and interviews.

If you infatuated with the early days of the band like I am, this is a treasure trove of R.E.Gems.
Ugh. Sorry about that. 😂

Oh my heart is breaking
I'm just feeling like a boy"

PORNO FOR PYROS
Pyrotechnics: Porno For Pyros' Latest & Greatest
2024 U.S. pressing
Ltd. Ed. Clear w/Orange Splatter #vinyl

I was NEVER a Jane’s Addiction fan. I felt (and still do) that they were one of the most overrated bands ever, with a circus clown for a frontman.

It wasn’t until Porno For Pyros that I gained ANY respect for Perry Farrell musically, and even the PFP albums on whole weren’t that great for me, though I dug the singles.

I found this in a used bin out in L.A., and figured I should grab it for those handful of songs I like; “Pets”, “Tahitian Moon”, and “Cursed Female” being the main attractions for me.

Now, the bad:

I can do without the Lou Reed cover here, and the techno-y electronic Daniel Avery remix of “Pets” is terrible. And the best thing I can say about the three new songs is that they’re average at best.

Essentially, I paid $12 for 3 songs I really like.

@Guillotine_Jones @Kierkegaanks we

well, thank you - I’m glad to have inspired some research… 😉

yes, they purposely chose that name - as fitting their #music

and yes - it’s still a great piece to listen to on a long drive.

“…Most of the album is taken up by the 22-minute "#Autobahn" … The song was inspired by the group's joy of driving on Germany's autobahns, and recorded music that reflected a trip emulating the sounds of a vehicle…”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn_(album)

THE REAL KIDS
All Kindsa Girls / Common At Noon
1999 U.S. 7” single reissue

Continuing to plow through the records I bought while I was in California.

From my hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, I’m not sure I’d call The Real Kids a great band.
I think they’re mostly remembered for having one really great SONG, and that’s about it.
I got rid of my copy of their 1977 self-titled album because other than “All Kindsa Girls”, it never did a damn thing for me.

Which is great that I found this in L.A.! Great #powerpop song, which the band has been dry-humping for almost 50 years.

One part night at the museum, one part oddball heist, one part romance. Although "heist" might be the wrong word, since he seems to have broken in to fix things rather than take anything.

Since I've been having a lot of fun adapting classical music to chiptune style, I thought maybe I should follow all the way through and make an entire asset pack for RPG-type games...? Since I'm not composing everything from scratch, it could be very affordable relative to the amount of music. This is "Torrent" by Chopin, which I think sounds very Boss Music...
