some live albums kick ass, it depends on the band/musician....

Live at Leeds for example.

Some live albums suck royal ass. Van Halen's 1993 "Right Here Right Now" is so grandpa, even the codger would enjoy it... maybe.
But the majority of live albums do kick ass. It's always nice to hear a polished band recreate a sound live.

Is this Moby track the substitute for today's obligatory Hall & Oates track? (See Maria and Ken's playlists for details on the H&O issue).

I've got this awesome industry "musical" promoting G.E. Electricity. "The Nuclear Kid" is my favourite gun-slingin' western on the record!

one more comment about live albums...I know someone who absolutely abhors hearing the audience. I find that interesting.
Wed. 7/9/08 3:40pm
From:
Bren Collins
The first Jandek live album irritated me because of that one guy in the audience who kept calling out "Yeah!!" every few seconds. Heh...

Hey. Remembered to tune in (at the office). Heard Moby and thought I was listening to an ordinary radio station....for a minute.

I would buy an album with nothing but the sounds of audiences. There was recently a recording put out like this but with concert intermissions, http://tinyurl.com/3eyd6j

Otis, that sounds like a Jan jelinek project....

a little concert intermission would sound good just... about... now.

How 'bout a live recording of Cages 4'33"? An occasional cough, perhaps the rustle of progrm pages . . .

This song contains invaluable advice.

Regarding that Wayne Shorter track (great choice, by the way): Those musicians whose names you don't know are named McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, and Elvin Jones. Never heard of 'em. Just a bunch of hack session guys, I guess.
Regarding Louis Jordan: Yes! Yes! More! More! Always worth hearing -- and I'm very pleased to know that he and I practically share a birthday.
Wed. 7/9/08 4:37pm
From:

Pete: Thanks for the personnel on the Shorter track. I have an mp3 and the liner notes are SO TINY.

You could play Jordan until 6pm and I would be a HAPPY man. This is the PERFECT antidote to a work filled afternoon.

I don't know 1/2 of these songs. I love it, and I my productivity has doubled over the past 1/2hr.

This Louis Jordan set is the best stuff I've heard all day. Beats Hall & Oates by miles and miles.
Thank you Irwin!

I've seen the group name spelled Tympany (not the same as the drum called tympani) -- not sure, though --
Great set...

How about some Slim Gaillard?
Wed. 7/9/08 5:04pm
From:
Peter K
Unless I missed it, I think that in "Jordan for President" (which I had never heard before either), presumably recorded sometime before the summer of 1952, he name-checks EVERY possible major-party presidential nominee for that year EXCEPT the eventual Democratic candidate, Adlai Stevenson. I'm not sure what this means, but it's kind of interesting, no?
Wed. 7/9/08 5:05pm
From:
Irwin
"Tympany" -- yep, you iz rite! I done fixed 'em all.
Wed. 7/9/08 5:05pm
From:
Otis
Slim's "Lauging in Rhythm" has to be one of my favorites of his. Right up there with "How High The Moon". I'm right with ya Dave. If not today, next week Irwin?
Wed. 7/9/08 5:06pm
From:
Listener Dave
So what would be the best Jordan compilation to buy if you didn't have $200 to blow on the Bear Family box?
Wed. 7/9/08 5:07pm
From:

np -- it's for the historical record, given the archive, lol
Wed. 7/9/08 5:09pm

The Proper Jordan box, as well as their Slim Gaillard, are both excellent and a great bargain.

Is anyone else waiting for X Ray Burns to yell "Jonesy!" or is it just me?

Charmberlain was a setup reliever until about 6 weeks ago. Don't get many wins or even saves there.

I know, I know. But FOUR LIFETIME W'S -- and he's already doing corporate endorsements?
