I'm not clicking the link - I'm pretty positive about that!  |

The first time I heard 'Don't Worry Kyoko, Mummy's Only Looking For Here Hand In The Snow' was on the B side of 'Cold Turkey' in 1969. Then a few months later, an extended version filled most of side 2 of the Plastic Ono Band's album, 'Live Peace In Toronto', which basically meant that we had all gone out and bought a one sided LP. Luckily side 1 was wonderful....Blue Suede Shoes, Yer Blues, Dizzie Miss Lizzie, Cold Turkey...etc.
Cold Turkey, the original Apple recording, is a stunning record, it's got such an amazing sound...

er, I don't understand the reason for starting a thread in such a negative way, it's er, not good...
No I don't mean the video of the Yoko Ono Plastic Ono band; I felt that was interesting with a message of hope.

"Such a negative way" would be "er,its really terrible" which it is. REALLY terrible.
Interesting maybe, in the same way tracey emin is.

Yes, interesting in that it is a different sound to the standard Western scales and chords put together simply.
As for Tracy Emin, she went up in my estimation after I saw her intelligently and patiently answering inane questions in a TV interview.

Music and art come in many different forms, some of which is designed to make people question whether it is actually music or art.
I do like some avant-garde music and I used to be involved with people that played it. In fact I have done a few avant-garde 'squeak-bonk' gigs myself.
If this discussion continues, please let's try and keep it on the subject of music as there are plenty of places on the Internet to discuss Tracey Emin's work, some of which I like.

I think it was worth bringing up, a/ as it is a slide tune, and b/ as its being touted as the worst Glastonbury performance ever. I don't care if anyone loves it or not, but there's your reason for a 'negative' post. I'm on the side of the great players who don't get heard enough.

to call my tastes in music "eclectic" would in fact, be generous.
can recall having much harsher terms leveled at the often off beat
directions my favorite playlists of bygone periods have gone.
was a diehard Pink Floyd fan from the first time i was awakened at
about 1:00 in the AM when radio station KSJO played "Interstellar
Overdrive" off their '67 debut album, Piper at the Gates of Dawn".
saw their Winterland* show from "The Dark Side of the Moon" tour
in San-Fran, done to acknowledge their fan base in that area/era
from the earliest experimental period of their offerings. same, an
abstract list of music that went from the likes of, "Seamus", "San
Tropez", "Mudmen" [which was eventually grafted onto], "Fearless",
"Atom Heart Mother", "Grantchester Meadows" into deepest darkest
psycho-delia as per the "Ummagumma" album.
got every vinyl they released up to "The Wall", when the band
turned abruptly into songs that didn't move me much. with the
exception of "Comfortably Numb". right when they found a sound
that got more radio air play.
listened to the "Fugs" extensively until Frank Zappa picked
up the ball and ran with it, and i became a "FZ&Mothers" fan.
i have ventured into Andre Segovia, Sons of the Pioneers,
Hank (Sr) Williams, The Dillards, Zephyr [before Tommy Bolin
went on to The James Gang, and Deep Purple], Leo Kottke, Django
Reinhardt, John Gorka, Shawn Mullins, Dire Straits/Mark
Knophler, Willie Nelson, too many blues artists to list in
a fair manner, etc, etc....could go on and on 'till it
bored you to tears.
lately, have been on a Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway and
Betty Boop kick. [you might be surprised at the music
played in the Fleischer Brother's cartoons bearing her
name...]
don't care whatcha call it, if i like it, i'll buy it.
didn't/can't listen to Yoko in O.P. sound card issues.
doubt i would like it, as her voice gets an "armor
piercing treble" rating in my books. couldn't say it
pulls 30+ inches of mercury, however. i'd have to
listen to it first to make that call.
from out where the busses don't run...

deuce,
RE:
..."I'm on the side of the great players who don't get heard enough."..
did a youtube video search of, John Gorka and Leo Kottke-- "Furniture"
same from Gorka's album "Out of the Valley".
no luck, only a cover which didn't credit Gorka or Kottke except for
writing/playing the original song.
song could be named 'the depressions of a touring musician'.
should you ever stumble on the disc, the interweaving of Leo
Kottke and John Gorka playing acoustic finger style together
in this darkish minor key out pouring is highly recommended
in my play list.
