Jansky Noise - Past Present & Future Star Music

Fats Domino passed away this week, it's one of those things where you think, wow, was he still with us. As you always thin of Fats as a man from another time. Fats Domino sold a greater number of records than anyone except Elvis Presley. He was a star, hailed far and wide. However, he felt like a very normal kid. . Right when Domino grew up in New Orleans.  His father began from a sugarcane home upriver. By 1960 the range was stacked with modest, single-family houses. Domino moved into a front line split-level home. He wasn't there to make a joke of his old friends, be that as it may. He was giving them a place to hang out and drink ale while he invited them to lunch. After a short time, Domino was in J&M Studio on Rampart Street, recording "The Fat Man." He thought of it as a standard musicality and blues song—he just made up new verses to "Junker Blues," an old tune recorded by another New Orleans piano man, Champion Jack Dupree. Regardless, Do

This week it rained for the first time in Madrid, since a long time, we really needed it, it felt like the end of the longest summer ever. The rain comes and helps clean, it helps wash away recent events. Caught up in this big river. I love the lyrics in this song. Do I love you? Yes, I LOVE you, but it's easy come and easy go. All this talking is only bravado yeah Oh, Tinseltown, Tinseltown in the rain, Oh men and women. Many memories locked in this one.The Blue Nile, so good, never forgotten, and even better in the rain.

William Utermohlen: Art and Alzheimer's from Urban Times on Vimeo . More and more, I hear references to memory. James Leyland Kirby, my good friend has been working on this theme for many a year now. As memory fades, those who are able study more and more, the loss and decay.

Come on this is incredible, Sub Rosa, on it. Great work. So on time. 

Lex by Visible Cloaks Reminds me of Dead Can Dance, and Harold Budd, two of my absolute favourites of all time.

Strange cover version, but this cassette is cool.

It is so easy to forget the importance of Kate and Peter, especially if your not from the UK, if you grew up in the UK during the 80's and 90's then you know only too well we were blessed to have this music and much more given to us, via all outlets at the time. It is easy to take this for granted, but time will show this was something else, and a majestic and pure moment. As Peter and Kate state, in your lowest moment - when you hit the bottom,  don't give up, Kate's voice will lift you, her voice directs the message into your heart and soul.  If your not able to see this now, I recommend you do some living and come back in 10 years.

True, you don't hear much on the radio, or in any place like this anymore. Without doubt this is going in the right way, shame so little in terms of vocal are projected this way. Can you feel it?

Come on! What a tune.

It is not growing like a tree  In bulk doth make Man better be;  Or standing long an oak, three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night—  It was the plant and flower of light. In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures life may perfect be. 

I have been listening to this song for longer than I have been on this earth.  However, listening now today, the meaning has transformed from it's past the present. This is partially because of the piece of triva, which I discovered thanks to a certain profile on Youtube from D umpster0101 - who states the following : " When a Man Loves a Woman - is a song recorded by Percy Sledge in 1966 at Norala Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama. It made number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts. It was listed 54th in the List of Rolling Stone magazine's 500 greatest songs of all time. The sidemen for this recording included Spooner Oldham, organ; Marlin Greene, guitar; Albert "Junior" Lowe, bass and Roger Hawkins, drums. The song is credited to Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright, who played bass and keyboards with Sledge. However, the song was in fact written by Percy Sledge himself, but he gave it to Lewis and Wright.". Apparently -

In my current mood this song is quite striking Go find your wife, tell her what you did. Dont try making this about something that it isn't.  Go find your wife and tell her your an idiot, tell her that it's not your fault and it's time to admit it. You have to forgive.  Go call your mum, tell her what you did, it's starting to make sense, now that you have kids.  Go find your Dad, tell him you forgive him, you understand it's not his fault for the life that he  couldnt live.  You have to forgive.  Go find your girl, tell here your a kid, tell her your not capable of giving what needs given. Go call your friends and tell them your a dick.  You have to forgive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a message here for many of us. At one stage or another. 

I close my eyes, and dance till dawn. Dance away the heart ache, dance away the tears.

Today I am reminded that you never know what is around the corner.  In the last few hours I have had some heavy working of my lungs. I could feel a nightmare wrongness pervading every inch of my body, and now I live this nightmare.  My eyes heavy with tears, as I hope this is a dream. It's not, it is my reality.  As my heart breaks at the loss of a grand opportunity. As I  return from the hub that was calle Fucar where it really all began in so many ways, and I arrive home in La Latina with a song locked in my head.  Perhaps  this song is here because of my old friend Tony from Tony's bar, close to Fucar, where so many magical moments began. I think it's just a mix of it all, what a way to end.  The two lines that strike me today are - " And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted ", and the harder to digest " Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember".  I started a fire, and just as spark ignited the wind changed and b

Looking for one more? Yes, I am.

Nice day in the Mercado de Cebada in Madrid, Marisco feast, and a good chat in the park with my man Pablo. Then I was reminded of Benjamin Zephaniah, some of this early stuff was so raw. Anyway, this is another vibe. Chill as I work through the night.

Yes, Cosima, this one seems bang on just now, the way I feel, as I work through things waiting for a certain Marcela to contact, what is going on? Or what is not? On the radio it´s Cosima.

Hey Melody, that was beautiful, I agree.

I feel like I can step inside this modified version. The audio is so close, I am at home, it´s the weekend, sun is shining in the window, and Ryan is bathing me as he always did, with the best in 80´s audio, I am splashed with sunshine.  Listening to Ryan Paris is like digging out my old Lamborghini Countach.  It sounds so fresh and at the same time absolutely 80´s retro bright, Ryan like the car a best friend, and one that has shared so many emotional moments and times. Beam some sunshine into your heart by employing Ryan Paris and this super version. A classic ride. Thanks for the tip James.  We're walking like in a Dolce Vita This time we've got it right We're living like in a Dolce ...

Reminds me of so many things. Spanning the Boards of Canada, early Daft Punk, Super Tramp, and back around spilling all over and into itself. The beat is addictive, melody playful. I will be keeping a wee eye out for Compton White.

This one I am posting as a last song of the night. As my heart right now has been given. X

Long time since I could say I am liking some of this new material, but here I have to say, yes!!

You got me burning like fire. Let´s go to Egypt and do it on the pyramid, let´s goto Egypt and do, do do it on the pyramid. Great work out here. Transporting us to a place. You got me yearning for your body, as greedy as a Crocodile.

Weekend is here, soaring heat in Madrid, you cannot argue with this one.

It´s hot but we are keeping cool in the summer.

It's got all you need for it to be as big as you can get. Very catchy this one.,Right now just 2,511 views on Youtube. When will it go a million plus?

Everyone is playing this!

 

I am loving the fact I have no idea what Ffiper are saying here, it´s all just underwater, reversed and delightfully lost. Catchy tune for sure, bass line works, as does all the composition. Check their Control.

Sometimes you hear something and it just reminds you of Ibiza 1989. Here is one of those tracks, that really captures the easy breeze and feel of those summer days. Great work from Jonny Miller, let´s see where he takes things next.

Goto Give it to my Man like Beck, he has always had the skills to knock out a catch tune, and once again he rides like cowboy into the cherrypop sunset on this poptastic little ditty. WOW!!

Drop dead leg work from Cyd Charisse, and it's true that our man Mike Jackson, got his look and a few moves this this. 

Taking time to rewind and review music from my past. Ian does NOT get much of a mention around these parts. Yet, without doubt he was ahead of the game, and mixing up quite an incredible combination of musics. A real old school hack.

So much work has gone into this art. Must see.

Ahead of the game on this one. Getting political, you cannot deny, why sit and wait for a meltdown? The times have changed, but something have not.

More investigation required, brass up the clam.

Good advice from Oby, she is my OB1 today. I´m having fun now, of course. As ever. Having a ball.!!!

A little bit more of the other. Crossing into another space, since the music cannot go forward it´s logical it has moved here.

An interesting project for Carl Craig to have his music taken to this level. Since the original already maybe considered a hit, I expect this to do well. So much to do in the Techno Space. Looking forward to hearing some of the other works.

That melody came again and again and it keeps on coming.

This one almost slipped through the net.

Many years have passed, but since about 2003 music has stopped moving forward. There has been no progress, everything now is retro, but listening to this music we made back in the day helps me to try understand our position right now in the world.

Title: "Ghostdigital's Latest Track: Punk DIY Electronics Meets Political Commentary in the Depths of the Cod Wars" Today, we've got an exciting track to dissect, one that dives deep into the murky waters of political history, and emerges with a sound that's both gritty and groundbreaking. A Look Back at the Cod Wars Before we delve into the music, lets have a think about the theme here - The Cod Wars were a series of confrontations between the United Kingdom and Iceland spanning two decades. These skirmishes had a profound impact, effectively bringing an end to British long-distance fishing and resulting in a wave of trawlermen losing their livelihoods. It marked the conclusion of a generations-old tradition of distant-water fleets mainly based in Grimsby and Hull. Large British vessels with crews of up to 30 used to spend months at a time in the seas off Iceland, returning with bountiful catches of cod, destined for chip shops and fishmongers all across the UK.

Great name used my Mick Harris of Scorn fame. Never heard this till recently, but it's a brutal cut. Special very european sounding, so he nailed it.

Intense month, gotta keep on pushing, as the big man Rock stated : The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! " — Author Unknown

What a day! Always just the best, listening to Jimmy Durante and then the Gristle. So much M´cr here.

My friends at the 10 LABEL in Japan have sent over this new release. It's a sampler from their soon to be released Album Faces Past LP. Some really industrial, spacey ambient deep techno. I especially like the Hacking Infinity track, quite Jeff Mills as is the Armour To Paper. If you looking for deep grinding dysfunctional techno, check this sampler.

Christmas is over, I have my memory locked in now. It's the memory of all my family singing at the top of there range, at my parents home, in my old studio (the den). A moment I can savour. Now Christmas has passed as sadly have George Micheal and Carrie Fisher, what a terrible year it has been for the stars, dropping like.... So, at home, I dug out  some music I recorded on tapes, music that is over 20 years old now. The second tape I found had no writing on it, so I put in the only tape player we have in the house, and it just has a loop of George Micheal singing his song - Praying for Time, it's looping over, and over, none stop. Just 90min. of the same loop. Incredible. That tape has been sat in a draw for 20 years, or more gathering dust, I don't understand why it's got a short section of the song looping, and it's never been erased, it's never even been played, I don't even know how it got here. Incredible timing!!! Only yesterday

When your day is dark, and there seems to be no light. The Black Night may or may not offer refuge. Worst case senario, time to think and find the way forward. Each and everyone of us has a black night, the key is finding your way to the light.
