Love

Jackie DeShannon knows what we all need.

Lyrics by the late Hal David.

"In June 1968, following the shooting of Robert Kennedy but before he died (approximately 26 hours), the Jackie DeShannon version was played over and over on Los Angeles radio stations as an audio vigil. This also continued for a few days following his death."     wikipedia

Sea of Destruction

Poor naked wretches, wheresoe'er you are,

That bide the pelting of this pitiless storm,

How shall your houseless heads and unfed sides,

your looped and window'd raggedness, defend you

From seasons such as these?

                                                          King Lear, William Shakespeare

Idiot Wind

Gary Moore and Friends

Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Cozy Powell, and Gary Moore.

This Phil Lynott ballad was sped up by Brian Robertson for Thin Lizzy's Johnny The Fox (1976) album.  Gary Moore would revive it's original softer sound for his 1979 solo album Back on the Streets.  The above Old Grey Whistle Test performance is the definitive version.  Watch at 2:40 when the twin Les Pauls let loose.  Mercy!

Ballrooms of Mars

You gonna look fine
Be primed for dancing
You're gonna trip and glide
All on the trembling plane
Your diamond hands
Will be stacked with roses
And wind and cars
And people of the past

Robert Lee Burnside

R.L. Burnside from The Land Where the Blues Began (1978).

I first heard Burnside, along with Joe Callicott and Houston Stackhouse on volume 2 of the Arhoolie Mississippi Delta Blues "Blow My Blues Away" compilation.  The two volumes collect recordings made by George Mitchell in 1967 & 1968.  Highly recommended!  Burnside's wiki is an interesting read and offers some excellent links to interviews and tribute sites.

Charlie Palmieri!

Charlie Palmieri will blow your mind.

Ennio Morricone

Ennio Morricone's 1972 soundrack to Un Uomo Da Rispettare (A Man To Respect). 

I first heard this on the Crime and Dissonance compilation and it grabbed me by the face and left squeeze marks.  Give it a full listen and pull together your crew for one last job.





1970's Italo ill-noir.

This poster is for the disco version of Un Uomo da Rispettare released as The Master Touch.

The Hamburg waterfront looks like nice place for a picnic with your crew.

The Master, a man to respect.

Elephants Memory/Luscious Jackson

Elephant's Memory's, "Old Man Willow" from the Midnight Cowboy soundtrack (1969).

Luscious Jackson's "Life of Leisure", from In Search of Manny (1992).

I dug this most deeply when it first reached my ears.  Back in the day one of my sisters had the Midnight Cowboy soundtrack and Luscious Jackson's "Old Man Willow"  keyboard sample was instantly familiar.  Spooky, forboding psychedelia. 



John Starks!
