Song of the Day (or welcome to the ADD Generation).....

[sphinxsix]

Their first original!

One of the songs that were killed by radio..

Or maybe one of those which it actually didn't manage to kill..

Depends probably as usual on one's point of view.

I'm not into family movies but some family music is pretty good - Dub Fx, his wife, daughter and ..Sister Saritah

This should have become a big hit!

I played your 2 minutes long song of the day through my 'desktop' Adam speakers and left home when it was coming to its end. I was a little surprised I heard music still playing after I came back (didn't notice this was a playlist)

Couldn't be any other.

Thanks for reminding me of this album, haven't heard it for 20 years.

Fite Dem Back

Linton Kwesi Johnson

We gonna smash their brains in
Cause they ain't got no fink in 'em
We gonna smash their brains in
Cause they ain't got no fink in 'em

Some a dem say dem a niggah haytah
An' some a dem say dem a black beat ah
Some a dem say dem a black stab bah
An' some a dem say dem a paki bash ah

Fashist an di attack
Noh baddah worry 'bout dat
Fashist an di attack
Wi wi' fite dem back
Fashist an di attack
Den wi countah-attack
Fashist an di attack
Den wi drive dem back

We gonna smash their brains in
Cause they ain't got no fink in 'em
We gonna smash their brains in
Cause they ain't got no fink in 'em

This definitely sounds real.

A guitar motif came to my mind this morning. Took some time to remind myself its musical context..

I just love his warm up at the beginning of this great concert 

Saw him years ago live in London. At some point someone threw a football onto the stage, BS started to juggle it (and he was good at that!) while still singing. The crowd went crazy.!

Some amazing, danceable Shostakovich avec l’Orchestre National de France.

 

 

There is something I don't quite understand about the acoustics of performances like this one. When you listen to single voices (e.g.the first minute of this video) the room acoustics usually just ruin the pleasure of listening, OTOH when you listen to the mix of the whole - there's not much problem with it. Is the diversity of (usually non-audiophile I guess ) rooms acoustics reason for that.? Or maybe additional reverb added at the mix stage.? Someone's got some other idea.?

At least COVID times provoke some new questions as far as room acoustics are regarded..

I saw this Fripp formation live in the Central Park back in the 90s. This was an unforgettable experience!

Yeah, absolutely bird music! 

Moving both posts where they belong! 

BTW, black swans (Cygnus atratus) are very common in the Hague, was quite surprised when I saw them there for the first time.

 

After all that has been said here, this:

looks like a provocation, but i will resist the temptation to respond to it 

 

As for the SotD I listened recently to both versions and I don't know which one to choose..

A provocation after provocation 

 

Was wondering yesterday listening to this song - was it in any way popular in the US back in the 70's.? 

 

 

[sphinxsix]

I think I actually prefer this version to the original one
