Revisiting The Band records in the wake of Robertson's death I've remembered one of the reasons I'm a lukewarm fan: when Manuel pushes his voice up into its squeaky upper register I find it actively annoying to listen to. It kinda ruins "I Shall Be Released" for me.

when i think of nashville skyline coming out the same year (and on the same planet!) as in the court of the crimson king i realize what horse i ride into the 70s. it isn't the dusty one. it's the shiny robo-horse. i'm actually riding it with Can and Donna Summer and George Clinton. it's a big horse! (and hey go check out that dusty dusty him sad 70s west coast thread i like a LOT of country rock...)
― scott seward, Friday, 11 August 2023 16:32 (eight months ago) link
and then you say but scott why do you have to pick one horse why not pick more than one horse and i say nope you only get one horse. and i choose to move forward and as much as i love the home truths and mother and the fireplace and the pot of beans over the fire and ovaltine and mended socks darned with a darning egg and dusty hippies i go onward and upward. just like kurtis mantronik did. just like all jamaican/arab-americans raised in canada and new york did.

but then you ask scott why are you listening to Swedish rock bands from 1967 if you want to go forward???? but that's the thing Mecki Mark Men are STILL moving forward on that record as we speak. in a different timestream to be sure but they are still evolving past their roots of river wolves and beaver stew and taking off into a dark cold void unimaginable. its all in their manifesto:

Kate is extremely entertaining in this thread.

it can sometimes be confusing to refer to an album called 'the band' by the band called 'the band'

i would have preferred the Small Faces backing Dylan up in the 60s. I am absolutely on board with this. I mean, not instead of The Band, but in addition to, like if Dylan had also toured in ‘67-‘68.As it happened, Ian McLagan was in Dylan’s 1984 road band. During the first show, McLagan was scrambling: songs were in different keys than they’d rehearsed, and Bob played a bunch of songs they hadn’t rehearsed. After a couple more shows, McLagan found Bob in the hotel bar and made some setlist suggestions. Bob said, “Hm, that’s a good idea. You know, why don’t you write those down for me.” So Ian made a list of songs he thought would work and gave it to Bob. For the rest of the tour, none of those songs were played.

that is so cool about miles and i can see for miles. very funny too! miles was so funny. he was the original internet troll too. i love those interviews where someone will ask him who else he likes on trumpet and he would just say that he liked al hirt. you know that had to burn up all the serious bop trumpet dudes. though miles did call him a white uncle tom as well. even in a compliment he had to bash you!
(and al hirt was no joke as a player don't get me wrong, but still...)

the real reason 1973 is the birth of rap? the release of "Bad Bad Leroy Brown". Truth! Best top ten gangsta rap single of all time.

x-post - dylan is totally the folk miles davis. they have that same ability to stagger people with a compliment.

Dylan apparently went thru a period where was was obsessed w/Beck (Hansen, not Jeff)... so, no shade on Beck (or Buffett), but it's totally not unreasonable to think he was sincerely praising Buffett.
