There was a time when…I owned the Led Zeppelin catalog on vinyl.

Here’s a favorite. If you want to understand, listen to it, then listen again just to the drums, then listen again just to the guitar, then listen again just to the vocals, then listen again to the bass and everything else. Then listen again and understand.

You need to be careful in focusing on parts on this one.

Don’t read this unless you want it to forever affect how you listen to the song. Seriously.

The bass drum pedal has a HORRIBLE squeek and once you notice it, you can no longer not hear it. It will stand out in all subsequent listens.

My old band used to always play this.

I stumbled across this a few years ago when I was on a Townes Van Zant kick. Townes reminds me a bit of Bob Dylan, great song writer, average performer. Died early of alcoholism, sad story. but many of his songs were made famous by other artists. Notably Pancho and Lefty first by Emmy Lou Harris then by Wille Nelson/Mearl Haggard and Techumseh Valley by Nancy Griffith.

But thanks for bumping this one by The Be Good Tanyas, it used to be in my regular Youtube lists until I got a new computer a while back.

Rhiannon is really interesting, she appeared a lot in Ken Burns’ Country Music series. Her depth of knowledge about musical history is really something, and I love her music.

Sometimes the classics just hit

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles and never frowns
Soon I will be president

Carter power will soon go 'way
I will be Führer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school

California, Über Alles
California, Über Alles
Über Alles, California
Über Alles, California

Zen’s fascists will control you
Hundred percent natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can’t happen here
Big bro on white horse is near
The hippies won’t come back, you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay

California, Über Alles
California, Über Alles
Über Alles, California
Über Alles, California

Now it is 1984
Knock, knock at your front door
It’s the suede denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
You’d look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don’t you worry, it’s only a shower
For your clothes, here’s a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas
Serpent’s egg’s already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

I wonder how many times I’ve posted this. I love it.

When you believe in things
That you don’t understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain’t the way, yeah

wow, at 1:17, I didn’t know Ron Jeremy knew how to play trumpet! Truly a jack of all trades.

Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables produced so many punk classics.

I have something different for you. Not good. It is actually shit. My guess AI shit. If you have a few minutes listen to this and read the lyrics. Listen to how they try to use tricks to manipulate an emotional response such as repeating in echo. Read the lyrics without the shit music. What is the message, what are they trying to convey? Banal over used imagery, check. Lack of coherent message, check. I have seen and heard commercials with more emotional honesty. AI is shit when it comes to the creative as it does not create but only emulate.

To cleanse your palate… listen to anyone or all of these.
