Album #99: “I’m A Lonesome Fugitive” by Merle Haggard & the Strangers (1967)

a pretty decent country record.

the opening track on here, the title track, was not written by merle himself, though many think that he did as he apparently served a couple years in san quentin.

From the book “ 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die”, published in 2005 by the by Universe Publishing. Part of the 1001 Before You Die series, it compiles writings and information on albums chosen by a panel of music critics to be the most important, influential, and best in popular music between the 1950s and the 2010s. • • WOW! That’s some feat for Alice In Chains to be included with their album Dirt. As fellow “Chainers” we all think that’s a given. But if you look at the bigger picture and the massive amount of music that’s been released from the 1950’s to 2010’s it’s absolutely mind boggling. What an honor for the band and for us the fans! • • • • • • —————————————————— #nehistripesseattle #LSMS #LSMSAiC #aliceinchains #laynestaley #chainer4life #mikestarrforever #1990s #seankinney #jerrycantrell #the1loveaic #grungeera #dirtalbum #mindfuck #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie https://www.instagram.com/p/CqJ7GwFL4T3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Frank Sinatra – Too Marvelous for Words

(link za pjesmu) Album broj 7/1001. Hajde da istražimo kakva je veza između ljubavnih stihova o nekome ko je pre-čudesan za riječi i nekih starih rječnika.

Ako je prvi album Frenka Sinatre koji se nalazi na ovoj listi od 1001-og albuma koje morate čuti, In the Wee Small Hours, bio posvećen baladama i propaloj ljubavi, ovaj album iz 1956. godine, Songs for Swingin’ Lovers,  je pun poletnih pjesama u kojima se slavi radost života i pozitivna energija koja dolazi iz magične zaljubljenosti. Kao i za prethodni Sinatrin album, pjesme (nijedan orginial, sve su već ranije objavljivane) je aranžirao genije orkestracije, Nelson Riddle. Sve je savršeno prepakovao u sving stilu, koji se do tada uspješno transformisao iz plesne big band džez muzike i na velika vrata ušao u svijet pop muzike. Pjesmu Too Marvelous for Words (Suviše čudesna za riječi), o djevojci čija se ljepota ne može opisati riječima, Frenk počinje veoma ležerno, orkestar ga u stopu prati, nastavlja malo dinamičnije da bi je zajedno sa orkestrom sa kojim se savršeno spojio, završio furiozono, na starinski način, kako i priliči maestru.

Ovu pjesmu sam izdvojio i zbog jedne lične asocijacije vezane za stihove „... Ti si puno, previše, i jednostavno, veoma, veoma/ Da ikada budeš u Vebsterovom rječniku...“ Moja majka je bila profesorica engleskog jezika i po kući su nam se uvijek motali neki rječnici, i njene druge stručne knjige. Od svega toga mene je privlačila jedna velika, debela, knjižurina sa tvrdim koricama koju sam povremeno prelistavao: Vebsterov rječnik. Bio je specifičan po dvije stvari: na svakoj stranici je imao po neku ilustraciju za riječ koju objašnjava i za svako slovo postajalo je udubljenje, polukružni izrez, tako da si lako mogao da dođeš do početnog slova riječi koju tražiš. Dušu dalo za radoznale istraživačke prste da listaju i prevrću stranice do mile volje. Ovi rječnici američkog engleskog su se pojavili negdje početkom 19. vijeka, i ostali do dana današnjeg veoma popularni. Majke već odavno nema, rječnik skuplja prašinu na polici već više decenija (mislim da je danas prvi put otvoren poslije više od 30 godina – slike priključene ovom postu) a ja se prisjećam nekih davnih dana djetinjstva.

Da se vratim na ovu pjesmu koja odmah nakon spominjanja Vebsterovog rječnika, nastavlja sa: „...  I tako pozajmljujem ljubavnu pjesmu od ptica/ Da ti kažem da si predivna/ Suviše čudesna za riječi“. Ko zna, možda bi ovi stihovi mogli da se upotrijebe kad sljedeći put pokušate da na neki novi način kažete nekome koliko vam znači.

Japan - Quiet Life "JAPAN releases the LP "Quiet Life" on Hansa Records in England. Tracks on the new album are "Fall In Love With Me," "Desperate," "In-Vogue," "Halloween," "Alien," "The Other Side Of Life," and the title track "Quiet Life." There is also a cover of the Velvet Underground song "All Tomorrow's Parties." The LP marks the change in Japan as a guitar-glam band, to more of an electronic funk inspired group. Reviewing the Lp, Sounds magazine said, "You never know quite what to expect with Japan. In a seemingly ceaseless quest for success, their short career has to date spanned at least four markedly different musical styles. And yet somehow, despite the often calculated, contrived nature of these moves, the band have never become victims of the changes..... While I'm unsure that Japan will ever become a 'major act' (this despite the 'big in '80' predictions currently being bandied about) 'Quiet Life' is already an album of the year. And this with the current 12 months barely four days old. Believe it." - Post-Punk Diary, George Gimarc . #Japan #QuietLife #OnThisDay #MusicHistory #PostPunk #OnThisDay #OnThisDayInMusicHistory #PostPunkHistory #Glam #GlamRock #January4 #January41980 #1980 #80s #80sMusic #1001Albums #1001AlbumsYouMustHearBeforeYouDie #440 #PostPunkDiary #PostPunkChronicles #NewRomantic #DavidSylvian #RichardBarbieri #RobDean #MickKarn #StevenJansen #SimonBell #AllTomorrowsParties #MusicJournalism #JSimpson https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpmhepIRr2/?igshid=1pxbi7ngfzlif

Album #96: “Surrealistic Pillow” by Jefferson Airplane (1967)

this record was okay.

i don’t know if it’s because i thought this record came out later (always thought it was an early 70′s record) that it felt a little ahead of it’s time.

the record was okay, but all the songs where Grace Slick is the lead vocalist absolutely whip ass. this was her first record with the band, which was their second overall. they should have written more songs for her to sing.

Elvis Presley – Money Honey

(link za pjesmu) Još jedan sa 1001 liste. Prvi Elvisov album iz 1956, koji je imao nevjerovatan uticaj na rokenrol. Bijeli momak koji svira crnačku muziku i još se pri tome na sceni ponaša nedolično – skandalozno vrti kukovima. Album ima puno obrada a ovu pjesmu je uradio Jesse Stone za Drifterese koji su je snimili nekoliko godina ranije. Jedna kapitalistička (ali prilično univerzalna) pjesma u kojoj se sve vrti oko para. Svi traže, od gazde koji hoće svoju kiriju, preko momka koji bi htio da ga cura finansijski podrži, do cure koja ga ostavlja jer on nema kinte – sve u krug. Dobar ritam, gitara i bas dižu prašinu, i naravno Elvis koji je ovdje u životnoj formi. Album je pun mladalačke energije i za to doba je tretiran vrlo buntovnički - manje zbog tekstova koji su uglavnom ljubavni, a više zbog prkosnog stava i brisanja rasnih granica.

Album #85 “Headquarters” by the Monkees

this is what i’m going to refer to as the Monkees “breakthrough” record, not insofar as it is the album that broke them into the mainstream (their previous two records had both reached no.1 on the billboard charts), more in the sense that this is the first record where the Monkees themselves finally had creative freedom over the record.

the Monkees had been frustrated that, being hired to play the roles of a band on television, their previous albums were recorded by sessions musicians which they were only asked to sing over. as such, one can’t help but imagine the relief they must have felt to finally be given then opportunity to do something themselves.

i liked this record. you could tell that this is the sound of musicians finally set free, though there isn’t anything that makes this record really stand out from the crowd. apparently it was knocked out of the no. 1 spot by the Beatles’ Sgt. Peppers, and like... yeah. that record kinda eats this one’s lunch.

Duke Ellington - Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue

(link za kompoziciju) No. 6/1001. Prije ovog nastupa na Newport Jazz Festivalu 1956. godine, Duke Ellington je imao gomilu briga. Vrijeme velikih žurki gdje su nastupali big-bandovi, koje su bile popularne 30-tih i 40-tih godina XX vijeka, je nepovratno prošlo. Umjesto džeza i svinga koji su ranije držali primat, sve više se slušao rokenrol (i tu je bio vidljiv uticaj tehnologije – da bi se glasno čuo više ti nije trebalo 20 i više muzičara na sceni, dovoljno je bilo da odvrneš pojačalo i eto ti urnebesne svirke). Dok se velika većina drugih orkestara već raspala njegov big band je i dalje bio aktivan, ali na granici preživljavanja - neredovni angažmani su bili nedovoljni za opstanak. Duke je muzičare plaćao iz svoga džepa od tantijema za kompozicije koje je ranije uradio. U tom periodu nije imao ni ugovor sa diskografskom kućom tako da nije bio u prilici da nešto zaradi od prodaje ploča. Na rubu očaja dobija poziv za @newportjazzfest. Koncert je počeo pomalo konfuzno (neki članovi benda su se pogubili – valjda je i kod njih izdominirala žeđ za pivom), morali su da naprave pauzu da bi se pokupili. U drugom dijelu koncerta su se stvari polako zahuktavale, publika je počela da reaguje na njihovu svirku. Onda je Duke najavio jednu staru stvar sa kojom je orkestar na probama dosta eksperimentisao ‘Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue’ (Smanjivanje i pojačavanje u plavom) pokušavajući da joj ubrizga dodatnu energiju. Klavirski uvod, orkestar u punom zamahu i malo pošto je počeo solo na saksofonu (na ovom snimku počinje oko 4:03 i završava na 10:24) koji je izveo Paul Gonsalves, jedna plavuša u maloj crnoj haljini ponešena muzikom se diže i počinje da igra. Pridružuje joj se još par ljudi iz prvih redova da bi ubrzo čitava publika bila na nogama. Oduševljenje i pozitivna energija su bili toliki da nijesu dali da se završi koncert, stalno tražeći još. Nakon ovog nastupa karijera Duke Ellingtona i njegovog orkestra je dobila novi zamah – stigao je ugovor sa Columbia Records, redovno su izdavali nove ploče, stalno bili na turnejama gdje su im koncerti bili rasprodati. I to je tako trajalo sve do njegove smrti 1974 godine. Šta je ovaj nastup značio za Ellingtona možda može opisati malo modifikovan stari stih Partibrejkersa: „Jedan koncert menja sve“.
