Hi Gaylord! Here to self-medicate a case of the blues... I know can count on you as an enabler.

Good afternoon, all!

@P-90: I hope I can move your blues out of the red and into the black.

@bill: Oftentimes, most certainly, but probably not today.
  Sun. 5/8/16 5:13pm Fjolla:

Gaylord! You killed me with Baris Manco's Gülpembe- which means 'Pink Rose' and is a song about loss...I spent all my teenage summers by the coast in Turkey!
I am remembering our talks after the Faust show lovingly! Greetings!
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:14pm Sem Chumbo:

Hiya, Gaylord, and all. Wings to McCartney so far. Hmmm. Catholic enough for me.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:17pm Gaylord Fields:

@Fjolla: Thank you for checking in, and for the translation! (I didn't pick up much Turkish in my 10 days there -- just enough to yell at taxi drivers trying to cheat me.)

It was a joy sharing popcorn with you after the Faust show. I hope all is well.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:18pm Gaylord Fields:

@Sem Chumbo: Yes, my shows will have a bit of subtext running through them at times.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...it's like - What If there was this boy band of former teddy boys that formed a little R&B club band that got huge & turned out to be world-class historical geniuses & style, cultural - even philosophical / mystical & political icons all @ once...Yeah right that'll happen...
  Sun. 5/8/16 5:19pm P-90:

Hiya, Sem. Nice to see you around more often.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:20pm Gaylord Fields:

@Revolution Rabbit Nov63: "Alchemy" is the word I use to describe the phenomenon to which you allude.

There are many very good reasons for Dylan to have gone electric, but here's a new theory.

Dylan and the Beatles had a dialectical relationship quite similar to that of Cash and Dylan. One would influence the other and v.v. Dylan's acoustic folk deeply influenced John and the Beatles from 64-66. I'll Follow..., You've Got To... and Norwegian... especially, and later carried on with Revolver, made Dylan's style, to the man himself, too mainstream & predictable, too old hat. He wanted to shake up our expectations again, shed his old skin, and become something new, so he went electric. Did what THEY had been doing before THEY were influenced by him. Being Dylan, he probably wanted to prove that he could actually do their electric rock thing better than they could.

This (Norwegian Wood, etc.) is strongly analogous to Side 2 of G’NR N Lies. It immediately made the beat band scene turn more folkie, acoustic and introspective, killing off hair-pop-metal (G’NR) and beat-band-simplistic-pop-rock (Beatles). The harder thrash and death metals that followed, and became more popular in the wake of Lies, a market for people who didn't want bubble- gum or ballad-folk metal, is analogous to the pysch, proto-prog, acid, blues and other rock genres and subgenres that followed in the wake of Norwegian.... (The Beatles, of course, didn't fade away, as G’NR did, but continued to be a relvant part of the reaction against the rock rebellion that they themselves fomented.)
  Sun. 5/8/16 5:34pm bill:

when you by older music for the show, are you going out of your way to find either stereo or mono mixes
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Dylan loved Little Richard before Woody Guthrie.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:37pm Scraps deSelby:

H'lo Gaylord, h'lo people people. It's sunday (sunday! sunday!) here in Snohomish County, Washington, a beautiful day I think (I can't tell weatherwise); it's rehab day every day for a while, and sunday means a day off from rehab.... yeah. Love this music.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:37pm Gaylord Fields:

@bill: It depends on the record label and the era, I guess. Sometimes I just go by gut as to whether I want the mono or stereo copy of an LP. Sometimes I just buy what's cheaper, if I don't have a preference.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:38pm Gaylord Fields:

@Scraps deSelby: Welcome! It pleases me to know that you're enjoying what I'm doing in such sympathetic surroundings.
  Sun. 5/8/16 5:38pm bill:

soundtracks work better in mono

@Scraps deSelby: I love living in a world where Germans can get down and get funky with the best of them.
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:46pm Scraps deSelby:

when you say "soul makossa", immediately in my mind the album cover, a happy face of a woman, with the name of the album, forms
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:47pm Scraps deSelby:

Gaylord: yea verily
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:48pm Gaylord Fields:

@Fox (Rā-chul): Glad you are here, whenever you're here!
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:50pm Scraps deSelby:

(when I say "album cover", I mean The Lafayette Afro Rock Band; apparently they're a lot of "Soul Makossa" albums)
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:54pm Gaylord Fields:

@Scraps deSelby: Oh, I remember 1972-73 being lousy with "Soul Makossa" cash-ins (and that's a good thing).

@Mr C: This set is for all the mothers out there -- and we both know who they are!
  Sun. 5/8/16 5:59pm JakeGould:

Wonder which has more covers? "Grazing in the Grass" or "Soul Makossa?"
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 5:59pm Gaylord Fields:

@ Fox (Rā-chul): Thanks for clarifying. Glad you're here even when you're not "here"!
Avatar Sun. 5/8/16 6:00pm geezerette:
