9:08am : the only Saturday I get up early & the whole peanut gallery is still asleep. Morning Bob.9:09am : Listening from a rainy Atlanta this Saturday, Bob. Nice start!![]()
9:13am : i believe that at the very least we're a macadamia nut gallery.![]()
♥ 9:18am :
I knew this wasn't Laura. Vertigo, got it.
Busy grading.![]()
♥ 9:18am :
I'd prefer the cashew gallery. Good morning, gents.![]()
9:18am : Thought I recognized that theme. Vertigo is one of my two fave films![]()
♥ 9:19am :
what's the other, tomB?![]()
9:20am : Badlands![]()
9:23am : Morning all!
Who did the music for Badlands, TomB?![]()
9:23am : i prefer cashews as well, but macadamias are the most expensive nut. i will leave silly remarks to everyone else. i'm silly remark - ed out this a.m.![]()
♥ 9:28am :
wiki on Badlands score: "The film's score makes repeated use of the short composition Gassenhauer from Carl Orff's Schulwerk, and also uses other pieces from the Schulwerk. The same piece was used for a scene in the film Ratcatcher and used as an influence in the film Monster and Finding Forrester. A cover of by Hans Zimmer entitled "You're So Cool" is used throughout the film True Romance."![]()
♥ 9:40am :
I watched Badlands with my (at the time) 6 year old daughter. We both liked it. Incidentally, "True Romance" is one of my all time favorite movies. (I'll say in the top 5)![]()
9:41am : Oddly, the screen credits for Badlands note an instrumental "Migration" by a James Taylor. Also, I think Nat Cole singing "A Blossom Fell." I don't watch DVDs, but noted in my 2nd viewing the name Carl Orff but blanked on the German title. So I mistakenly began specializing in Carmina Burana.![]()
♥ 9:43am :
Wow, I haven't thought of this "out west, out to the burlesque" tune since it was on the charts in the UK forty years ago (I lived there at the time)9:51am : This joint is BillyDeeWilliams smoove!![]()
♥ 9:53am :
...Good old almonds - nuts are great - delish&nutrish...
- Get a laptop streamin' @ work in forseeable future - & this'll be great...
- Tadd Dameron - thot it sounded beaucoup Birth of Kewl...'Where Love Is'' just the sort of 60'PunkPop I like...do *not* hate your Program, Sir...![]()
♥ 10:09am :
About hearing Family live (Tull and Gabriel were influenced by their stage presentation), they actually did a one-off reunion show in London last month. (I looked them up after you played "Burlesque")10:13am : NOW we're talking!![]()
10:17am : Wow... the Travis Shook track is really nice. Thanks Bob!![]()
10:18am : I concur.![]()
10:30am : Mary Wells rules Motown.10:30am : Why is Chandler Travis better known? Why?10:32am : That should read "Why ISN'T Chandler Travis better known?"10:37am : Hey there, we say Quixotic as 'Kwiksotik' rather that 'Keejotik' or whatever as it's a word that became popular in the 18th-c. in England, where folks still said Don 'Kwiksot', not having yet corrected their pronunciation to the Spanish manner which we now favour. When we say Quixotic we're referring to the complex of ideas that originated at that moment in England in response to Cervantes, not directly to the original Spanish text, so it makes sense to use the English pronunciation.![]()
♥ 10:41am :
That's very interesting, Richard. thanks for that.![]()
♥ 10:43am :
time to brew another pot o' joe.10:44am : The Travis Shook album was recorded in both 1973 and 1974. It's Not Too Late is from the 1974 sessions.
Great to hear a Steve Shook mini-set on WFMU.![]()
10:47am : So the album came out in 74, Keith?10:53am : I think so, but I seem to remember the sessions at Great Northern Studio being in the fall, so the album might not have come out until '75.![]()
10:56am : OK another brain-tester: was this Ardolino's recording debut, or did it follow the NRBQ recordings?![]()
♥ 10:59am :
man, BB active on the comments this AM. Way to go, Bob!11:00am : Tom's recording debut was the Froggy Went A Courtin' session, which I think preceded the Travis Shook album.
