lol. Hey all, are yous familiar with song-poems?

The song poem racket was a vanity operation where any amateur with $$ could write a song and buy a semi-professional pressing of it played by some anonymous studio hacks. They'd glance at a poem, figure out an approach, then grind the number out in a single take--then on to the next one, in a chain of 30+ improvised songs per day. The musicians were fueled by boredom, fatigue, substance abuse, and creative madness, a wonderful recipe for creating warped gems from strangers' personal obsessions.

A dear friend introduced the gendre to me today, her quotes above and below. I quite fancy this audacious way of rocking!

my favorite song poem. "The Beat of the Traps" is from a poem written by a housewife named Dorothy something-or-other. Dottie's deathless lyrics were immortalized by tormented song-poem master Rodd Keith and a bunch of session men, who recorded it in one take late in the day when they were all seriously fuuuuuuuuucked uuuuuup. This sloppy-ass song is frickin' MAGIC!

Most will hate it , few will love it . Saw them live some years ago and listened to most of their music over the years . Its usually just 2 guys with guitars and a drum machine/laptop for a beat but some of the stuff they have made in last 3 decades... not the kind of music most likes but few will appreciate it.

As one comment puts it Xnoybis. A gesture of benediction or ritual praise to a god or gods. A word known to the Romans and Greeks, although I don't think it comes from either Latin or Greek. It is the name of a stunning piece of music for chamber ensemble written by Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi. It is literally the ONLY other time I have ever seen the word used. Given how literate and musically adventurous Justin Broadrick is, I would be astounded if this is not where he first heard of the word.

I watch this often. I think I even posted it on Avalon a while back. This performance, was and will always be an amazing event. Everyone could use listening to it the whole way through once or twice in their lives By way of an explanation - here is one of the Japanese commenters:

Posted by Youtube commenter @穿て顎丸
Hi, I’m a Japanese, & there is a few Japanese comment.

So I want to make sure for what this concert was held.

This concert was held after big earth quake and tsunami hit Japan & many people more than the people who joined this concert…
This is the requiem for the dead people, and also cheer from the people other areas where didn’t suffer severe damage.
So this concert was really special for us.

And I got the real meaning of the ward “soulful”.

Most of us really moved and got power from this concert.

I really respect who joined this concert & Beethoven.

My English is still bad, but hope some people understand the real meaning for this concert

[HopSan]

Thanks Jaak, Anchor, and others,

Next summer, if God allows, I shall sing in the greatest choir happening of Estonia.

Thousands of singers, in a giant stadium.

Not like Beethoven, but better:

And of course, this is about music and fine heart.
All kinds of idiotic politics is far beyond my point.

Please, all let's enjoy the goodness of singing!

One of my favourite music vids. They set the music to real life footage of a pro-bmx rider's accident, amputation, and subsequent recovery. An emotional tale of loss, recovery and the power of friendship.

"The official video for 'Waiting All Night' is the inspirational true life-story of San Francisco-born BMX champion and actor, Kurt Yaeger, who became an amputee after an accident in 2006. All the characters in the clip are pro BMXers and friends of Kurt."

[Tigger]

Recollecting a specific era (from a Sydney perspective) of various nightclubs I once DJ’d at, here is one of my non-live mixes, recollecting a long-gone era of early house music in various Sydney venues throughout the 1990’s. Timings are approximate:

0:00.00 - 0:35:00:
Deep House (as per the 1990’s definition of it). Modern-day eclectic intro. Reminiscent of ‘The Albury’, circa 1993-94.

0:35:00 - 1:00:00:
Classic ‘Kinsella’s Middle Bar’ circa 1993-94

01:00.00 - 01:30.00:
Those classic tracks you heard at ‘Q-bar’ (Sydney) and / or ‘Kinsella’s’ (Sydney) in the mid-1990’s

01:30.00 - 02:00:00:
If you heard it at ‘Blackmarket’ (where “The Matrix” was filmed), there’s a good chance I was on the turntables on Thursday nights (“Hellfire”) [1993-95]

02:00:00 - 02:33:47:
Who remembers those early house days of the mid-1990’s at DCM on dance party recovery sets? Chances are, I was there [1994-1996]

• The Oldest Song In The World:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=w8tfBLvlN98

This song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, is the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the accompanying musical notes. The work was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered by archaeologists in the 1950’s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit.

The tablets, which are written in the Hurrian language using Sumerian cuneiform script, have been studied for years by a number of eminent scholars, and several theories have been advanced as to how the music should be interpreted. In my opinion, the most thorough and convincing interpretation (and by far the most musical), is that offered by archaeomusicologist, Dr. Richard J. Dumbrill, and that is the one which you hear in this video.

The long-necked lute you see me playing is a cross between the Turkish baglama and the Persian setar. I made this instrument myself as an experiment. It has four strings but the bass notes are a double course. It is tuned F-C-F. Lutes of this type have been played since the most ancient times throughout Mesopotamia and Anatolia.

The pipes you hear are replicas of the 5000 year old silver pipes discovered in the Sumerian city of Ur in the 1920’s. These are reed instruments but since I cannot play wind instruments and sing at the same time, I sampled the pipes and I am playing them by means of a pedal keyboard, similar to the kind of pedalboard used by organists. My left foot controls the lower register pipe, and my right foot the higher register. Players of these instruments used the technique known as “circular breathing”, which is still used today for wind instruments like the Armenian duduk, and the Australian didgeridoo. This song was performed live, in a single pass. Nothing was added or overdubbed.

The text of the song is not well understood because the Hurrian language has not been thoroughly studied and the original tablet has bits missing. The goddess Nikkal, like most lunar deities, was associated with fertility and childbirth. Here is a very rough idea of what experts believe is being sung by the singer. I have tried to make this poetic rather than literal.

I have made offerings to the goddess
That she will open her heart in love,
And that my sins will be forgiven.
May my jars of sweet sesame oil please her,
That she may look kindly upon us,
And make us fruitful.

Like the sprouting fields of grain,
May women bring forth with their husbands
And may those who are yet virgins
One day be blessed with children.

“ All the wars that were won and lost don’t seem to mean very much anymore”

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yjOeWiPZeZw

All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there's no England now (there's no England now)
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
All the lies of the people running round
Their castles have burned
Now I see change
But inside we're the same as we ever were

[Chorus]Living on a thin line
Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?
Living this way, each day is a dream

[Verse 2]Now another century nearly gone (gone)
What are we gonna leave for the young?
What we couldn't do, what we wouldn't do
It's a crime, but does it matter?
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
Does it ever really matter?
Yes, it really, really matters

[Bridge]Then another leader says
"Break their hearts and break some heads"
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Blame the future on the past
Always lost in bloody guts
And when they're gone, it's me and you
