Postwar atmospherica. High bop modernism and Afro-Latin sounds, twilight exotica and soundtrack moods, soul stompers and weepers, hypnotic R&B and blues, mystical '60s pop, lonely country, lonelier rock 'n' roll, instrumental weirdness, electronic creaking. Bringing worlds beyond into the worlds at hand.

![]() i may've liked the accordion in exceptional cases in many styles of music, (not polka!) - but i especially like it in good flamenco; and in Yann Tiersen's (?) soundtrack to amalie - at least... |
![]() |
![]() That Barrier Brothers number was great. Sometimes I forget how wonderful banjo can sound. I used to listen to more bluegrass. |
![]() |
![]() @coelecanth that might be my favorite context for accordion as well. |

![]() Sacre bleu! Good evening fellow flameurs! |

Little Danny:
I totally agree Melinda. Much bluegrass starts sounding pretty same-y quickly. But the best stuff - the high, lonesome sound - is transcendent |
![]() |
![]() I think I like most banjo contexts, too, with the exception of Shakey's-style. I forget what it's really called. |

Doug! Always so honored to have you here. I know your time is rigorously scheduled over the next 12 hours or so |
![]() |
![]() i'm not familiar with shakey... but i especially like when it is picked, but not a speed contest. (ie some Neil Young or Gillian Welsh...) |
![]() |
![]() Shakey's was a themed pizza chain, my memory is fuzzy but I think dorky music was involved. |
![]() |
![]() [or "i believe" on r.e.m.'s album "life's rich pageant"] |

![]() hey, i just realised that song, "i believe", has both banjo AND accordion. |

![]() LD i was thinking of "for the turnstiles" by N Young; though i know he did other good songs early on with a slow-picked banjo. {were we talking about Neil Young recently?} - i never heard of that pizza chain! |

![]() there was a shakey's around here ... a few decades ago. i remember it being buffet style... |

Thu. 4/13/17 11:35pm
MrFab:
Shakey's is cardboard crap pizza,yet theyve been in business for ages and are inexplicably still around. Pizza parlors used to have this old-timey Dixieland theme, e.g. Straw Hat Pizza. Which is odd since pizza didn't become popular tll after Italian immigration started having an impact. Pretty sure Satchmo and Kid Ory weren't munching on pepperoni pies back in the day. | |
![]() |
![]() okay. i just want to say then - explore his 80s catalogue at your own risk. you've been warned! |
![]() |
![]() internet research found this about shakey's: Shakey personally played dixieland jazz piano to entertain patrons and hired the original members of the Silver Dollar Jazz Band for $10 per person plus all the beer and pizza they wanted—he soon realized it was cheaper to pay the musicians scale—this brought the music of Lu Watters to the Sacramento area and caused a local sensation. Jazz historian K. O. Eckland gives this band the credit for the jazz revival in Sacramento ... |

![]() @Little Danny - future themed show idea -- jazz artists that crossed over to the pizza parlor scene... |

Danny - I will go against all the doubters and say dive right into Neil's 80s genre-hopping work with relish, and in order. I got into him big in 1980. A great time to be alive and following him in real time. |

![]() @Dan - the other really great "In My Tenement" is by Jackie Shane on Sue. I found that 45 in a 50-cent bin because it was cracked - but it played! I even got to play it out a few times...and then the crack started to make me nervous for the needles. The 45 in recent years has seemed to go up in value, don't think I'll be finding again in the cheapie bins anytime soon... |

it's a curio for sure. But still very much the GP/Rumour sound. |
![]() |
![]() haha, my warning isn't based on my own opinion, but the general consensus; though the 80s did spawn his worst albums, it also had some very good, if not excellent songs. i just thought someone who's just being exposed to Neil Young should start with the small mountain of Extraordinary material of the first decade or so of his career. |

Dano59:
Coel -- yes it was atypical enough to get sued over by Geffen, but as Neil said, 'that was better than a Grammy'. I actually think Hawks is a lot like Star'n'Bars; Re-Ac-Tor is the most stupid fun rock n roll record in existence; Everybody's Rockin' is charming;etc. etc. Old Ways is beautifully recorded (digitally - a first back in '85) |
![]() |
![]() Thanks Danny! have a great week! tchau, camaradas |
![]() |
![]() Dano, i do not agree on all points! -but re-ac-tor was pretty damn good, and trans gets dissed way too much |
![]() |
Fri. 4/14/17 12:07am
Dano59:
Trans has some great non-techno content too. I've played a lot of Neil songs (leaning to the mostly obscure) with other obsessive Neil fans and the MOST fun one to play in an ensemble is Surfer Joe & Moe the Sleaze! Thanks for commiserating - see y'all late next Thu |
