  3. Maravillas de Mali – Rendez-vous chez Fatimata

    amf.didiermary.fr/maravillas-m

    “Rendez-vous chez Fatimata” est la signature d’une lointaine époque musicale, ancrée dans le Danzón (l’un des rythmes au tempo lent, qui s’interconnecte au Son Cubano) avec bien sûr des éléments de rythmes maliens.

    Avec ce groupe mythique des années 60, c’est toute une nouvelle génération de musiciens qui montait sur scène. [...]

    amf.didiermary.fr/dance-with-r

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.

  9. Wolfman Jack

    The radio legend was born on January 21, 1938. He made his mark on the "border blaster" stations back in the 60's and 70's ... the radio stations just across the US/Mexico border. Over there, stations could transmit at power levels that would literally "... kill birds..." that flew too close to the tower. At night, The Wolfman's howl could be heard clear across all 48 continental states in the Union. #wolfmanjack #60smusic #70smusic #80smusic #90smusic

  11. Harper Valley P.T.A.
    By Jeannie C Riley

    Well, it happened that the PTA was gonna meet
    That very afternoon
    And they were sure surprised
    When Mrs. Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
    And as she walked up to the blackboard
    I can still recall the words she had to say
    She said, "I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA"
