Joshua Walker Trio - Jazz, in some cozy little cafe called Utopik in Montreal. If any of you get here (in Montreal, I mean) this is one place you shouldn't miss! Music every night, excellent atmosphere, you can play chess, internet, close to home (well, to my home, at least! )...

Happy happy me! My father was finally able to recreate his Supertape 1 - an old reel-to-reel party tape he originally put together before I was born! - and I got a burn of it from him yesterday.
Track listing: intro to Mommy, What's a Funkadelic? Thus Spake Zarathustra (did I spell that right?) Goin' Mobile To Cry You a Song Peace Frog Rock N Roll Stew All Along the Watchtower Slippin into Darkness Asshtonpark Woman One Way Out (the mystery song we're calling Rock N Roll Lament) Stairway to Heaven Bitch Runaway Child Today Helplessly Hoping Gimme Shelter Smiling Faces Southern Man (live 14 minute cut)

Ooh, Percy Hill... I've only heard what is on the website loaded onto the media player. Sounds ever so groovy, though. You're right about it sounding like The Atoll. Aren't live jam bands great?

Yes, they are! And my favorite one is hosting a seven day party in Key West starting in a couple of days.

The Great Nations of Europe Had gathered on the shore They'd conquered what was behind them And now they wanted more So they looked to the mighty ocean And took to the western sea The great nations of Europe in the sixteenth century
Hide your wives and daughters Hide the groceries too Great nations of Europe coming through
The Grand Canary Islands First land to which they came They slaughtered all the canaries Which gave the land its name There were natives there called Guanches Guanches by the score Bullets, disease, the Portugese, and they weren't there anymore Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really gone You've never seen anyone so gone They're a picture in a museum Some lines written in a book But you won't find a live one no matter where you look
Hide your wives and daughters Hide the groceries too Great nations of Europe coming through
Columbus sailed for India Found Salvador instead He shook hands with some Indians and soon they all were dead They got TB and typhoid and athlete's foot Diptheria and the flu Excuse me - Great nations coming through
Balboa found the pacific And on the trail one day He met some friendly Indians Whom he was told were gay So he had them torn apart by dogs on religious grounds they say The great nations of Europe were quite holy in their way
Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really gone You've never seen anyone so gone Some bones hidden in a canyon Some paintings in a cave There's no use trying to save them There's nothing left to save
Hide your wives and daughters Hide your sons as well With the great nations of Europe you never can tell
From where you and I are standing At the end of a century Europes have sprung up everyone as even I can see But there on the horizon as a possiblity Some bug from out of Africa might come for you and me Destroying everything in its path From sea to shining sea Like the great nations of Europe In the sixteenth century

Bob Schneider is a musician. If you get the chance, check out his song, Come with Me Tonight. The video for it is pretty crazy...

During the winter holiday I saw a concert that he gave in Italy - don't know the year. Maaan, this guy sure knows how to make strange concerts! Besides the fact that he's built like a warrior and his bold head looks scarrier than my fist...
When he sang "Downside up" he and the woman singer in his band were attached to a circular scene above the real one and were actually singing upside down. Or downside up... The woman's long hair pointing towards the ground really made an interesting view!!
"Growing up" was another shock: he got himself into a plastic bubble - actually a bubble into antoher bubble and walked around the scene like that... You could see him inside through the transparent bubbles. And the people from his band were walking aside from his path.
And then you get him riding a bycicle when singing Salisburry Hill...
Or the "don't ajust your television" message during "The Barry Williams Show".
Anyway, I like the normal versions of the songs better than the concert ones, but the set-up was just excellent!

That's funny, Corwin, because I am such a live music gal. I like the studio recordings, and buy them to support the bands, but give me a good soundboard recording any day.

Liz, the thing is that all the live versions that he played were a little more "electronically" sounding than the normal versions, and I'm not much into that. Moby aside, that is.

Corwin, In the past inordinate amount of years, and probably because my husband was/is a huge Dead fan, I tend to go to see live music first, then get the studio versions. Because the bands we like are primarily live bands(as opposed to going on tours every now and then), we hear the songs before they are recorded. I hear what you are saying, though. I used to feel the same way. Many people are disappointed by live music because it is not the same as the cd, or because they do way-out stuff like you dscribed.

The new Chemical Brothers has a lot of really good stuff on it. There are a couple cheesy tracks, mainly marked by the times when they decided to bring in some singularly bland rappers to stand in. Unfortunately, they chose one of these pieces to be the single. Can't figure that one out. As far as new techno goes, I liked the latest Crystal Method album just a bit better. But Chemical Brothers are never bad, and this may not be their best album ever, but it sure isn't their worst. Worth every penny.
I'll be back with the Metheny report, as soon as I have a chance to form an opinion. I love when two good albums are released on the same day.
