'cloud perspective #1'
april 3 - laid out my first piece of the season, 'cloud perspective #1', which i think is the beginning of a new series.

april 8 (today) - NPR posted new music and by the 2nd song, i was hooked.
the shouting matches, 'grownass man'

actually, it's been a good week for my ongoing music education.

it was the 40th anniversary of led zeppelin's 'houses of the holy'. i discovered 'the crunge' is their funk tribute to james brown...well of course it is.

on april 5, 1973, david bowie released the single 'drive-in saturday' (this is really great 1973 live footage from uk's 'the russell harty show'). still brilliant after all these years.

yesterday, i discovered the  fatboy slim/christoper walken video (with lead vocals by Bootsy Collins, directed by Spike Jonze, and featuring actor Christopher Walken, who trained as a dancer before his acting career).

Muddy Waters was born april 4th, 100 years ago, to help make the blues.

watched dick cavett's august 19, 1969 'woodstock' show, with joni mitchell, who forfeited woodstock (august 15-18, 1969) to perform here, 'jefferson airplane' and 'stills & nash' who arrived from the festival tired & muddy. steven stills performs a beautiful '4 + 20 years ago' (+ another beautiful version, 1969, big sur).

and then last night we watched michael rapaport's documentary of 'a tribe called quest'. this + ice t's 'something from nothing: the art of rap' documentary is what i've been looking for to teach me about a music genre that i love but know nothing about. a genre so compelling that i'm (un)willing to dodge and wade through the  misogyny to get to its singular groove.

and finally i discovered, sadly because of his death, jason molina, whose song 'John Henry Split My Heart', has indeed captured my heart and caused me to pick up my bass again. rest in peace mr. molina.
