What Are You Listening To?

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

I had to Spotify the last one to see if that is the actual title of the song.  It is.

Thanks for this info. I was questioning if everything I presumed about Azealia Bank’s gender was wrong.

Just read her bio on Wikipedia

She seems like a nice girl

Joel Culpepper - Sgt. Culpepper

new to me via a twitter listening party and am enjoying a first time listen... if one is going to wear their influences on their sleeve, it might as well be a Prince...

Sinatra at the Sands 1961 from the Vegas box I just bought



Definitely going through a Frank period

The bio by Kaplan I am reading is fantastic…

I found this rare 10” at Leesburg Dig for $1 a few months ago.. couldn’t believe it

Hanna Montana didn't do too bad a job on this

Nope.  Did you not see how subtly brilliant Hope was in that other video?  There was nothing subtle about Miley's performance.

Feels like Miley has been doing the modern version of the American songbook ...some misses, but a few gems
I thought her Wish You Were Here* on SNL was great and timely

*obviously not an American band

Mediocre cover band with one trick - vibrato.  Excessive vibrato.  I'm a little over it.

Miley's "where is my mind" cover is as painful as you would expect it to be...

Juana Molina - Tres Cosas


Calming…


Calming is good

Unique album -as many are- in Dylan’s oeuvre primarily due to Scarlet Rivera’s violin…just colors the songs differently..

Cornershop - England is a Garden Instrumentals

on an evil streaming service.. lazy or not this is really working for me... i.e the T.Rex influence comes shining through on "No Rock, Save in Roll"

I will say the three tracks in the middle are a solid jam
England is a Garden->The Cash Money ->(Mornin ben)->I'm a wooden soldier

I'm a wooden soldier is possibly better without vocals...what a freaking throwdown and Exile on M St homage with a little trippy vibe
Everywhere that Wog army roam (the vocal version) could be a outake from a 70s Jimmy Cliff session

Maybe that was a bong in the Solar Power vid?!

apparently, even sidehatch is right twice a year

The music video for ‘Solar Power’, the title track, features Lorde smoking what looks like a bong made from a fennel plant. She later confirmed this to NZ Herald, saying, “Yes I am. I took your standard apple bong and made it a bit more chic, a bit more me. I’m sure if you hit it for long enough the fennel would begin to roast.

Dukes of the Stratosphere

and then the El Goodo catalog

Reefer songs were fairly common in the first half of the 20th century.. the record label Stash has like 6-7 LPs chock full of them…this collects a few of them

I think it became more taboo to sing about reefer post WWII
