thread of scottness

sweet smoke for scott-hedz

I really dig that Armenian zither clip because it really captures a sense of place, as well as the music being great & v energetic.

Couple of 78s recorded by silent movie queen Pola Negri in the 1930s:

"Tango Notturno" (1937):

"Paradis" (1934):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfs0n2rJqgo

(she even whistles part of the tune on this one)

(I started a thread about these ages ago, but nobody gave a fuck. I still love them and listen to them loads tho)

The "voice from the past" turns out to sound somewhat like a mellower version of Dagmar Krause! The guy who uploaded these has a stack of '30's Polish and Russian tango 78's up. Kind of intriguing, eh?

Thats pretty!

Here's some Jaipong from Indonesia

pola negri into jaipong is actually pretty inspired. i gotta say. thanks, you guys!

speaking of jaipong, have you guys ever seen mela liani? um, er, uh, ooooooof! look, i'm only human...

Do you like a drinking song?

http://www.drinkingsongs.net/mp3s/1950s/1950s-songs-of-seduction--alan-lomax-collector-(CD)/12%20-%20Up%20To%20The%20Rings%20Of%20London%20Town%20-%20Charlie%20Wills.mp3

i like that one. too short though.

it might not beat the album i have of German school children singing negro spirituals live in Japan, but a video of Czech orphans singing a Flemish church song in Esperanto is pretty hard to top when it comes to cultural confusion:

I started this without seeing this thread first. :(

Thread for songs that you don't think Scott Seward has heard but seem like *only* Scott has heard

You can lock my thread, mods.

All good.

more dan bau sweetness. doesn't get more E meets W than this.

you know, i DON'T have that Ralph Lundsten Discophrenia album and i really really should. I love the album right before it, Raplh Lundsten's Universe, and one of the ones after it, Paradissymfonin. i'll get it one of these days.

er, in reference to that other thread.

here is something i wrote about that Ralph Lundsten Universe album:

"Damnation in the kissmos, here comes a love-sick robot..." Stately & serene, the Swedish mothership, with cool, elegant lines and a roominess designed for maximum comfort, takes off into the unknown, finds the unknown, brings the unknown back to earth, and then has a party for all of humanity. Not that humanity deserves it. Most of humanity only WISHES that it could comprehend the majesty of a song like "Harvest In Heaven". Described as a "cosmic comedy in a transistorized meadow in the shadow of the saliva tree on the paradoxical planet", it's much too grand a construct for the average puny human to grapple with mentally. This album, even a song like "Rhapzodiac" where "the ship's computer plays a polystructural, extrasensory sensation foaming over with love", is wholly devoid of kitsch or euro-cheese datedness. (Not that I would necessarily be against any song on grounds of cheese or datedness. Just commenting on the absence of those ingredients.) It's a completely successful blend of light classical, jazz, new age electronic, and rockish stylings. Great with drugs and without drugs. To quote again from the album notes: "Strange forms of life have developed in the steaming jungles..."

Here is one you may not have heard, scott. It's called I Love to Boogie by a band called Hot Jam.

Hello, Hello Everyone! And thanx vermillion for that amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing (and also amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing) Adriano Celentano clip! What the hells is that exactly? Sadly, the 5 or so other clips of his I checked out weren't so proto-punk.

And Pash, I cared about your Pola Negri thread almost a year ago to the day....

Hello Kevin! I saved this one for the right moment and maybe that moment is now!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzQImLL6tUE

You probably already know this one but I often forget it. Love this video! Dies Irae from 1971

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B38OQ98Wu4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q5DAN5pE6w

I didn't know this one but its pretty it sounds a bit like Kerri Chandler!

I like the people at that party! Especially the hair and sunglasses of the first dude!

The Adriano Celentano and the last one are kind of the same! Music that girls that are sexy do that kind of walking dance where they pout at same time!

That is Aardvarck - Cult Copy (2000 And One remix), and I feel like I understand what scottness might include even less than before I clicked on this thread, but great links anyway.

i will watch the rest of this stuff tomorrow. just got back from an all day wedding and i need to sleep the booze off.

That is Aardvarck - Cult Copy (2000 And One remix)

Lovely isn't it!

It makes a happy face!

And Pash, I cared about your Pola Negri thread almost a year ago to the day....

You did! I appreciated it. Here is the "Paradise" number, from "at woman's command", sung in English (not as good as the french version I think):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRDLLPViYqU

The film itself is available here:

http://www.clarabow.net/videosforsale/videosforsale.html

I haven't seen it, I need to get "Barbed Wire" first. If you haven't seen "Hotel Imperial", I strongly recommend it, it's a great movie.

(apols for this brief diversion, Scott)

eh?

"Here is one you may not have heard, scott. It's called I Love to Boogie by a band called Hot Jam."

awesome! i could listen to that all day long.

OMG, that Timm Thaler thing is insane. i forwarded that to my friend lance. i immediately thought of him. lance has one of the coolest and most inspired websites just in case you have never seen it:

tripping over rock into series of laughter = !!!!

inability to speak german enhancement not impairment

so this wedding yesterday was awesome and i drank my weight in wine and they had a local country-fied band and the groom's young son's teen indie rock band and then the local band kahoots (the groom is in that band) played with, like, ten people on stage and they had wailing sax and nina violet on fiddle and chris brokaw on interstellar guitar and they were totally jamming like hawkwind and i wish i had an MP3 of it to share cuz it's the coolest thing i've heard live in forever and it reverberated thru the hills and over the ocean out back and it was LOUD. so loud we had to leave cuz little rufus was getting freaked out. more weddings should end like that.

That sounds fun Scott! Maybe you could get hold of a recording of them

If you like country maybe you like Faron Young?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPdlvo4DPxc

Jack Hylton and his band!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4WP2HJlw40

i do like faron young.

have you seen this clip of hank williams and anita carter doing a duet? sublime!

it's after "cold cold heart":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgj7z11ksu8

i obviously worship youtube, and stuff like mutiple collins kids performances is just one reason why:

You like country and you're from New England, so you've probably heard it, but what the hell. Regional country star Dick Curless:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Agm8kaP84Rs

dick rules. i mostly know him from all of the trucking song comps i bought rufus. we've got a ton of them. red sovine being the other master of the truck ballad.

I was hoping to find "The Iceman", his 'not-for-airplay' novelty record from the late 70s, but there's no trace of it on youtube. I guess he's got a Bear Family box, which surprised me.

you can listen to our radio show now if you are bored:

http://wvvy.org/

it's on until midnight eastern time in amerikkka.

don't know what it will sound like though!

i put stuff on tapes and then maria puts them in the computer and manipulates them and adds stuff, so it's always a surprise to me.

we'll get the hang of what we are doing. but hopefully not too much. i like things rough & ready.

okaY if you were high right now you would be loving our show. sounds great. maria is a wizzzzzzzzzzzz. too bad nobody will probably hear it.

i really want to start an exerimental/noise/fx/tape/cut&paste/muzeeeek konkreeeete/avant whatsit mp3 website. i'm serious too. just have to figure out the money angle of hosting a site with lots of audio content. all for NEW free stuff. though i guess archival stuff too if people want to give some to me.

Chet Atkins plays "Wildwood Flower". Watch the face of the other guitarist in the blue denim jacket as Chet pulls off insanely hard-to-play licks

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oh8xin-G3o

Sleepeier take on the same tune, Oslo 1964:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdLBxcLnoyk

I like the way he looks diffident most of the time, but occasionally you see this slightly smug look cross his face, like he knew exactly how hot shit he was.

That Les Paul and Mary Ford clip is charming & funny.

more awesome random guitarage:

killer live last exit clip from frankfurt (this is actually best for peter brotzman fans, but sonny tears shit up too)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kcRw23lK6o

Maybe Scott would like to see The Changes with music from Paddy Kingsland?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoQUj4Isu-E

Man how I love Chet Atkins.

i used to check youtube for that clip of wire on the joan rivers show and i could never find it but i found it today:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WrpVS7m3tX0

you remember. when suzanne somers was guest-hosting and acting all goofy and wire were acting all wire-y. gotta love it. plus, they sound awesome and i can only imagine what the audience thought.

i used to have involved convs with some1 abt the bit where the girl is singing while standing up straight and at the end of the line breaks into dancing

(Oh, OK, so I misunderstood the thread title on purpose then ;) )

have you heard this Snail record? i think you'd totally dig it. my mom used to live w/the band in Santa Cruz in the 70s. i've heard from 2 older hippy types that lived there then that they were like the top band in the area at the time. great country rock jams and some spacier moments

i no longer trust you. this is gawdawful. disco, prog, carmina burana. almost sounds like Magma, but it's so shitty.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxSJrpPzHjc&feature=related

Scott, did you ever get a copy of the Fuse album?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzlwFNY6zOY

quintessence has a pretty great krauty vibe. i've actually been listening to a bunch of john surman and other ecm tracks on youtube tonight and didn't realize i'd changed to this before the crazy guitar kicked in.

i bought a warped copy of the fuse album! last year. bummed me out. didn't notice the warp until after i was home. so, i still need one, but no hurry, i got lots to listen to.

r.i.p. dimi mint abba. a wonderful singer. found out via email. and to be honest i only know her via youtube! so, thanks, youtube.

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

also, r.i.p. twins seven seven. another great one!

r.i.p. dimi mint abba. a wonderful singer.

I'm just seeing this now. I got to see her once (at International House, I think) and live she was amazing. Incredibly powerful voice. I haven't enjoyed the recordings as much, but had hoped to see her again. Also, the subtle dance moves of her accompaniment were great. There was one point in the show when they shifted gears and one of her musicians (her husband, I think) pulled an electric guitar out of nowhere (well, you couldn't see it ahead of time anyway).

play me a good song i ain't never heard! come on, you can do it. i'm bord...

Probably heard this, but it's good

scott i watched a terrible documentary on folk/pagan metal last night on youtube, and i actually thought to myself "scott seward would have handled this much better, and been funnier about it."

aw, thanks for the thought, strongo.

jacob i will watch those now i'm still bored but busier. don't think i've head them.
