With two discs of dark and thoughtful songs, Dead Kennedys released. Had just lost sin...

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 ...

Music, photography and more. Amazon: Impudently Twisting the Facts. When a Woman Appropriates Cock-Rock →. October 11, 2014. Tom Baker, The Human League, b-side, 1981. The eighties tend to blend into one long synth-pop bad-hair decade, but in fact, synth-pop was almost unknown in 1981, especially in the U.S. At the time, I was deeply into Bowie, Eno and Talking Heads, and therefore aware of Kraftwerk and Cluster and Neu! According to this somewhat uninformed article. Their first album to be released in t...
