  2. John Martyn - Solid Air


    Danny Thompson, who played bass on this album—as well as lots of others—died last week.

    I saw Martyn live in 1985, at one of those free festivals put on by the GLC, when they were using up all the money before being disbanded by Thatcher. I think he was a bit lost on me at the time. I was waiting for Gil Scott-Heron to come on. I wish I'd appreciated it more, but there you go. Looking at the setlist, it would've been great.

    I probably don’t need to say what a fine album this is.

    There's a rather good docco about Martyn made by the BBC, Johnny Too Bad, which is well worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0DVynJD4jE&t=4s(it's on YouTube) It might be time to give it another watch.

  4. Who's streets? Our streets! Vanavond was de Nijmeegse #Heksennacht 🧙🏼

    In #Nijmegen werd door een grote groep mensen gedemonstreerd tegen #Straatintimidatie en vóór straten voor iedereen. ✊🏼

    Mannen; toon je #Solidair. Zég niet alleen 'Ik respecteer vrouwen', maar hándel ernaar. Doe stappen terug, geef ruimte, luister, zie je medemensen als medemensen.

    En toch ook even; if you don't like abortions, get a #Vasectomy. Serieus, maak een afspraak met je dokter. 👏🏼

  5. 1000 Day Album Challenge (#57) John Martyn: Solid Air (1973) [26.02.24]

    don't know what's going wrong in your mind / and I can tell you don't like what you find / when you're moving through / solid air…

    I guess you could say that I was a latecomer to Solid Air. I bought it 30ish years after its initial release. I’m not sure I had even heard of John Martyn before the late-90s and early-00s when I began to see Solid Air regularly name-checked by DJs and tastemakers to whom I paid attention. at the time, the tune Solid Air seemed to have gained quite a cachet among chill out DJs.

    so glad I bought this album because it is an amazing one. there is a strong late night vibe to it. I would be hard pressed to assign Solid Air to a specific genre which I guess is often true of great records. John Martyn seamlessly combines elements of rock, blues, folk and jazz to create a sound that is uniquely his own.

    it turns out I already knew one of the songs on Solid Air. I immediately recognized May You Never from Eric Clapton’s Slowhand (1977). I wouldn’t say I dislike the song, but it really is the most straight forward, dare I say ordinary, song here. I would think one would only cover this tune if (s)he were to dramatically rearrange it which Clapton doesn’t do it all. (in case you’re wondering – John Martyn’s version > Eric Clapton’s version. it ain’t close.)

    for me the showcase tune here is I’d Rather be the Devil, a dramatic reimagining of Skip James’ Devil Got My Woman. Martyn’s take is downright scary. he really works the echoplex, a tape delay effect. I’m sure I had heard it before on other songs, but it truly stands out on I’d Rather be the Devil.

    do yourself a favor and check it out. the chance of a true music fan being disappointed seems quite slight to me.

  7. Interessante uitspraak van #meloni over #migratie, ze wil het probleem fundamenteel oplossen. Prima, laten we dan ophouden met oorlog voeren en elkaar met respect behandelen, de verschillen accepteren, het klimaat redden, voor elkaar zorgen.
    #gelijkwaardig #menswaardig en #solidair zal dan de basishouding en meetlat moeten zijn.

    @ozcanakyol ..voor 'rotte vis' in onze samenleving op 'onze kosten'.

    Ik heb ze niet 'besteld' om dat te doen.
    Maar beste Özcan, nu is hét moment om #solidair te zijn met al die #boas die bereidt zijn om onze #Wetten én onze #grondwet te #handhaven voor óns, zelfs met een #kopvod.

    Dus morgen een nieuw #artikel van je?

    'Als je niks meer kan, word je kamerlid van #PVV of #FVD'.

    Én een excuus voor al ónze #boas? Zou je sieren.
