Signing Off On Madam Medusa - Riffs and Licks

http://steelbrassnwood.livejournal.com/202509.html

Signing Off On Madam Medusa - Riffs and Licks. 01:44 pm April 20th, 2013. Signing Off On Madam Medusa. Following the death of Margaret Thatcher, I found myself thinking frequently of UB40's great song about her, " Madam Medusa. From their first and best album, 1980's. Their later pop successes with "Red Red Wine" and "I Got You Babe" often overshadow their much heavier and more serious early work. 1980 was the year of. With two discs of dark and thoughtful songs, Dead Kennedys released. Had just lost sin...

She Had the Will (Etta James, 1938-2012) - Riffs and Licks

http://steelbrassnwood.livejournal.com/201674.html

She Had the Will (Etta James, 1938-2012) - Riffs and Licks. 01:11 pm January 21st, 2012. She Had the Will (Etta James, 1938-2012). Come a Little Closer. But by the 1980s, she was in career limbo again, still battling addiction. But she came out of the Betty Ford Center, went down to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and recorded.

This Is, Indeed, a Disco - Riffs and Licks

http://steelbrassnwood.livejournal.com/203476.html

This Is, Indeed, a Disco - Riffs and Licks. 01:41 pm August 24th, 2013. This Is, Indeed, a Disco. This ain't no disco? That Talking Heads lyric was always misquoted (as David Byrne complains in his new book. But from the look of the charts, this is, indeed, a disco. The two biggest hits of the summer (certainly my two favorites) are straight-up, unashamed, and wonderful disco songs. Daft Punk already has my vote for album of the year. I've enjoyed their other work, but. Meanwhile, was the founder of Chic...

Old-Time and Open-Source - Riffs and Licks

http://steelbrassnwood.livejournal.com/197534.html

Old-Time and Open-Source - Riffs and Licks. 10:25 pm August 28th, 2010. There's an old-time song I like to sing called "Lazy John." For a long time I only knew two verses to it, then I heard someone else play it and he sang a third verse. I liked it and asked him where it came from and he said he'd heard it from another singer. Why did that matter, and why did I never try to write my own verses? Again, these are the survivors, the instruments people saved and used and loved, that still have resale value ...

Riffs and Licks

http://steelbrassnwood.livejournal.com/tag/via%20ljapp

11:18 am October 7th, 2012. No one seems to have broken in, at least, and the windows are intact. But that looks a dead bird over there and I hear mice. The rug will have to go, and probably the furniture - yes, definitely, looks like the mice got into the couch. It'll take some work to spruce it up but it's nice to be back in the old place. Solid words and writing, not like the cheap drywall at Facebook. I wonder if all the neighbors have moved away? Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

Nite Flights Finally Land - Riffs and Licks

Nite Flights Finally Land - Riffs and Licks. 10:58 pm June 7th, 2011. Nite Flights Finally Land. It doesn't matter how much music you listen to or how knowledgeable you think you are. At some point, you'll stumble across someone and wonder how you could possibly have not known about them. Better yet, you'll listen to this artist's work and say to yourself, "ooooh, so. Is where (Bowie/Eno/Iggy/Nick Cave/Joy Division/etc) got it from. Black Tie White Noise. Scott Walker: 30 Century Man. In a Syracuse recor...

February Harmonitronica - Riffs and Licks

http://steelbrassnwood.livejournal.com/194266.html

February Harmonitronica - Riffs and Licks. 12:33 am February 2nd, 2010. Introducing . harmonitronica. As some of you may remember, I was experimenting with some electronica approaches last year, and I'll be going much farther in that direction this year. I started writing this song and programming the drum loop. The lyrics are somewhat incidental, but more prosaic in origin than they might sound. The jam I run on Sundays. Is in a bar with a fireplace. More songs to come. But now, sleep. Or Leave a comment.
