Favoriting Acid Jazz Hands with Bronwyn Bishop: Playlist from May 27, 2022 Favoriting

Bronwyn Bishop's avatar View Bronwyn Bishop's profile Favoriting

Musical theater from off the beaten path. Obscure and unusual show tunes from within the canon and without, flops, failures, and the newest works from up-and-coming artists—plus tried-and-true hits. Also, occasional appearances from songs that are not show tunes (but only if they go really well with show tunes).

I usually need at least 24 hours notice before I can "rock out," as you term it.

I love The Black Rider, but it might be questioned whether the music is rock. Please don't ask me what it is, though.
Avatar 🎭 7:31pm
Listener Gregory:

It is based on the actual opera (or the folktale behind it), Der Freischütz by von Weber.

The internet waited until a Sparks song came to have buffering issues! Now I know for sure the world has gone to poop.

Oh buffering, up yours! Isn't Freudonia in upstate NY?

I just finished watching the Beatles documentary Get Back and was taken aback to see Alan Parsons there as the "tape operator." He was apparently an audio engineer before he began to do his own musical projects.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:49pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

I should probably get around to watching that. I grew up Beatles-obsessed and then totally abandoned them for the Beach Boys when I was 20. Which reminds me that I want my boys to have a big documentary. They could call it Getcha Back
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:50pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Yeah I left them for the Beach Boys too and never went back.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:51pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Beach Boys solidarity!!!!

I remember the specific moment when I became a Beach Boys convert. I was listening to the Sloop John B vocals-only which I had randomly come across on Spotify and wandering around Kensington, London. I had to stop and clutch an iron fence to deal with the beauty

Hello, Bronwyn and B hive.
Avatar 🎭 8:14pm
Listener Gregory:

I am glad to provide my unwanted opinion, which is that the best song from a rock opera is Love Reign O'er Me from Quadrophenia.
Avatar 🎭 8:14pm
TonyR:

FYI - "Champagne" was written expressly for the film version of "Tommy" and is sung by Ann-Margret.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:15pm
Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Oh wow I should look for that Sloop John B! I was driving around today and heard Kokomo which is kind of a cornball song and it was in Cocktail. but still the harmony and voices are so beautiful.
Plus all their songs are the best key for me to sing along with.
Avatar 🎭 8:16pm
Listener Gregory:

Gründlehämmer is validating my earlier claim about Dümstar!
Avatar 🎭 8:17pm

There's a "Rock Opera Society"? Who knew?

Welcome HyperDose, Will, Tony and Ken!!!

@Lizzie: I love Carl and Al's vocals on Kokomo (and Van Dyke Parks's accordion lol)

Escalator is an unexpected choice, BB. Good one! If only @doctorjazz were still alive to hear this. He would be so pleased!

You're surely joshing; doctorjazz has passed?

Well, he says he was going on vacation, but I suspect foul play.
To be fair, he *was* alive this morning, so...

Yeah, this morning doctorjazz was commenting about having something festering or was it some music festival. I get the two confused.

Speaking of mortality, I read that as "Scott Fagan & Trembling Balls"
Avatar 🎭 8:37pm
Listener Gregory:

Sorry! It is so often that he says that he can't tune in, and then he posts a comment saying "I managed to get a satellite signal and patch it through my car-phone to hear tonight's show."
Avatar 🎭 8:38pm
TonyR:

I'll give you "satellite", mister!!
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:50pm
WR:

According to Discogs, you are correct KWilde.

The Fagan track pulled me to the playlist page because it reminded me of very early David Bowie. Pre major tom.
Avatar 🎭 Swag For Life Member 8:51pm
diciassette:

I also got a David Bowie vibe

@TonyR, I apologize abjectly.

I am wrong in thinking this song borrows heavily from Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony??? (Rasputin)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:58pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

going into slight OT! get those lighters out!!!
Avatar 🎭 9:00pm

"Rasputin" is also an opera by major Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara.
