We're going to flip back to 2010, Thailand, a movie, a comedy whose title is given in English as Holy Man 3. In a short cameo, a white-haired comedian, who's made up to look older than he is, delivers a combination chant, incantation, and love spell, hamming it up as if a bit agitated and unsettled by the power he's pretending to unleash, while those...
This was the special pleading I did on bsky on behalf of my three bonus nominations for Tom Ewing's World Cup Of 1975.
Waylon Jennings "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way"
To make a case for a second Waylon Jennings cut, "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way," this is where country sounds most like the Velvet Underground, grinding into the ground and into the drone and a voice poised between disillusion and excitement.
Ali Chukus & His Peace Makers Dance Band "Ana...
Right now, as I write this – March 18, Mountain Daylight Time, 10:00 PM – if you (or I, or anyone) are physically in the United States, you can be seized and taken prisoner without any charges being put against you – much less proven – and be put on a plane and sent to a foreign prison; and the people who do seize you and who spirit you away don't even have to release your name or...
"If I were a young person I think I'd be most interested in having old folk like me write about what things were like back in the day: what the Fillmore was like, what the crowd was like at a Dolls show in the early '70s, etc." So Lucy Sante wrote me recently [i.e., October 1997]. Good timing, as I...
Not only did they play dress-up – you know, like little kids let loose in their big sister's wardrobe – they played music. Really, it was a lot like how they looked. It was tough – it was a hard r&b sound, like the Stones infusing soul with nasty blues riffs – but it...
I related very well to what Liz wrote about playing dress-up with her roommate. Interesting: When I was a freshman in college my roommates and I would do the exact same thing. We'd go to the clothing stores or thrift shops and buy the...
If Trump and Musk and their people continue to defy judicial orders, what will happen and what do we do about it?
I mean, what do we do now? What do we do in the next ten days? These are genuine questions. I'm looking for guidance.
I'm not a political...
Like her colleague MC Pipokinha, Ari Falcão sounds insistent, grabbing, enticing, potentially lacerating...
"That gotta be the craziest one in the group. Hey! Dat gotta be – She's scary, I'm not even gonna hold ya -- She is scary, and she hardest one in the group. SHE GIVIN HERSELF A CHOP CHOP IN THE VIDEO!" ...
In September 1988 a woman gave a tremendously touching and edgy live performance, left me thrilled and with a lump in my throat and with lots of questions. "Eying someone in the audience, she breathed 'I really need you,' a tinge of sarcasm in her tone." Is quite possible that some of the edginess had to do with (unknown to me) her having been hired to pretend to be somebody else! In Wikipedia she's mentioned once, "a blonde woman named Anne," it says. If I had any...
Am expecting to link my original June 2011 LJ writeup on Miss A's "Breathe" in a couple of days; in the meantime I'm reposting here its original comment thread. This particular thread became very important to me because in it askbask gave me the beginning of a primer on dancers and choreography in K-pop, and he embedded some terrific...
Writer/producer Shinsadong Tiger made music that was catchy and excellently danceable. Korea had normalized, and sometimes sweetened, a lot of sounds that had been wilder and more explosive in electronic dance subgenres and in hip-hop. The results were…
We're doing Black Pop History Month '78-'81 at the People's Pop Polls, and here are three discoveries from '79, the latter two firmly in the category What Was THAT?
Paulette & Tanya Winley – Rhymin' & Rappin'
Tanya's the great discovery here, less grab...
"That's Not How It Is," my favorite Toby Keith song, from Unleashed: Keith could be really sexy and really funny – this unhappy one's not funny, but he keeps his wits about him, matter of fact when the facts are sad. The singing is...
The last album I really listened to as an album was Taylor Swift's Fearless. Which isn't to say that there've been no albums since then that have had an identity for me, such as a common sound to the whole thing or interesting ways the tracks play off and sometimes against each other. In Babes Wodumo's Crown, for instance, from my...
In the 1954 prison film Riot In Cell Block 11 (scored by Herschel Burke Gilbert), the musical prelude starts with high drama and then stops dead for two beats, then starts the drama again.
Meanwhile, a long time earlier, in a...
Funny beats! Tied to riffs that resolutely don't go anywhere, but don't go away, either. There've been several of these recently, all Brazilian funk, all fluttering around the number 10 spot on my 2023 singles list. Each is a combination of...
