This isn't something I do a lot, but at least this time I have a good target to get it out of my system: This particular cut being played in this Music Factory is one of the worst recorded pieces I've heard -- worthy of Atrocious Music.

To identify it further for those listening on archive, it was the piece just before the MGM Records ad.

Wonder what was up with the GWTW s/t. Music performed by an orchestra "from" the movie was released in '61 on MGM, but the actual s/t didn't appear until '67.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:21pm
Irwin:

Sopwith Camel were one-hit wonders, but that one hit became a standard: "Hello, Hello."
  4:21pm
Listener Robert:

It also had that quality that I couldn't say, "So bad it's good." Badly sung to a bad arrangement of bad music. Not on key, but not Sprechstimme, and not cute like a child or someone trying to sing on key. Too much cymbal in the mix too.

Dr. Demento was playing LB in the mid-'70s. Pretty sure that's where/when I first heard him.

Thanks, dgg. I don't know what possessed me to look at that Wikipedia entry, because I'd thought all the humor in Lord Buckley was encompassed in his performances, recordings of some of which I'd heard, but I picked up a little tidbit in the article: a clue to what the hand-acted Chez Bippy segments on Soupy Sales's show were named for.

'Bitches Brew' started the day after Woodstock. Leisurely in a way, & in another always the subsurface roiling w/ Miles under the surface Cool - which fits the album title - & Woodstock intense in its' way too - full of strungut political frustration (Hendrix's National Anthem) last summer of the 60s, if you actually watch or listen to it. Contrast to the Music Factory around two years earlier.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I'm always on about how the expanded Silent Way box was a revelation for me. 1st - the acoustic to electric transition was not just suddenly BB whomp there it is - & also how it relates to the forming of Ambient w/ Joe Zawinul. Mixing & major Editing were Rawk~Pop - in Jazz you were supposed to just know how to blow & get it - like all those divine BlueNote rekkids...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:48pm
Parq:

If I recall, he got a lot of flack from traditionalists for that new direction. I seem to remember reading a news article about how he was not, for the first time in years, on the roster of what was then still known as the Newport Jazz Fest. Someone was quoted as saying some newspaper-friendly equivalent of "fuck Miles", adding "he's playing rock now!" Oh well.

I'm kinda the same way about classical. Kurt G. plays it now and then...and Irwin via Tom Wilson gave air time to Bach today! Also, Doug Schulkind plays lots of jazz from those decades, but again the tracks tend to be limit-testers.
