It’s time for the #thursdayfivelist and today’s theme is ‘Father.’
Things are gonna get weird here. Buckle in. The ‘80s were a weird time.
1. Starting with an old classic that reminds me of my own Pappy whom I lost to poor health when I was young.
Dan Fogelberg, “Leader of the Band” (1981) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KwLbdPIOOkM&list=RDKwLbdPIOOkM&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB
2. Next is a song most of you probably never heard before because you’re too young. When this song came out about teen pregnancy, some Christian-owned radio stations actually refused to play it. 😅
Madonna, “Papa Don’t Preach” (1986) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G333Is7VPOg&pp=0gcJCZoBo7VqN5tD
3. Despite the Christian Right’s campaign to squish Madonna’s controversial smash hit into oblivion, she rose to the top and stayed there. But Danny Aiello who played the father in Madonna’s video decided to sabotage his own career by making an ‘answer song.’ It is truly awful.
Danny Aiello, “Papa Wants The Best For You (1986) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1xg11hwVs-M&pp=0gcJCcUKAYcqIYzv
4. Now things get even weirder, but music was like that in the ‘80s. Here’s the incomparable George Michael of Wham! with “Father Figure” (1987). The PMRC did NOT like this song, either!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m_9hfHvQSNo
5. My favorite on the list; was listening to this on my walk today, actually! A fun story about a dad in a modern-day dystopia and a creature in some Scottish loch…
The Police, “Synchronicity II” (1983)
About half a year ago I switched from Spotify to Tidal. While in a wider view the both are so similiar, that I would recommend the switch, here are a few things that bother me:
- when you pause a song on your phone and then want to continue to listen, it starts over the song.
- same thing happens with albums. Say you are listening to an album and you pause (i.e. because you need to attend a meeting at work) then come back and want to continue to listen after a while, it starts over the whole album (is this a cookie thing?)
- the phone app, the desktop app and the web player are not synced. So I can't listen to an album or a playlist on my way to work on my phone and then continue to listen to that same album or playlist on my computer at work. Instead it will start over (see above) the album that I was listening to yesterday on the web player.
In my day to day use those are just small things that bother me a little. Minor bugs really. I'd still recommend switching to Tidal or any other service that pays better per stream than spotify.

Im only speculating, but I bet the tracks (almost all of which are more than 15 yrs old) I _can't_ re-download from Beatport are gone not because Beatport removed them, but rather because the label or artist pulled them.
Doesn't matter, I still have my original downloaded files, but the fact that 75% of my Beatport catalog over 15 yrs old is still available to me is pretty fucking good.
Anyways - #Beatport - #music download company that knows whats fucking what.
Time for a tease of Other People's Music. This thread will give you the first line of each of this week's OPM reviews, plus direct links to the music, socials, & full review. If you can't wait, you can read the full post here:

The big difference re: #music is that unlike #movies or a series, is that #licensing, even for #commercial use, is relatively straight-forward.
- Worst-case I send an eMail to #GEMA and request a quote, since they are the one-stop licensing option for music.
- That doesn't exist for #movies nor is there a #FRAND-style licening mandate that would provide #consumers with a fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory access to a licensed copy to keep for a one-time-purchase.
- Instead the #Copyrightmafia wants to "have their cake and eat it too" by charging huge fees for #BlankMedia whilst criminalizing #Copying directly and indirectly [#DRM vircumvention as #felony]!
Big fan of being able to find labels by location on #Mirlo.

Turkish blues - a painful love song
Bir Yaralı Kuştum
Song by Gaye Su Akyol ‧ 2018
Keder, feza üstüne
Yayılır elem içimden gökyüzüne
Onu benden çok sevmiş
Paramparça bir hikâye
Ömür ömür üstüne
Yaralar sirayet etmiş her yerime
İzini kaybettim artık
Yarım kaldı bu hikâye
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
Acın içimde bıçak
Kesiyor damarlarımdan eski ben'i
Yakalandım sevda çölüne
Su ver yangınıma, heyhat!
Yıkın bu şehri yıkın
Sokağı, sevdamı, hatıramı yıkın
Geceler saklar sırlarımı
Bitmiyor bu yangın
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
Bir yaralı kuştum
Uçtum uçtum senden uzaklara
I Was a Wounded Bird
Song by Gaye Su Akyol ‧ 2018
Sorrow upon sorrow
Anguish spreads from within me up to the sky
He loved her more than he loved me
A story shattered into pieces
A lifetime upon a lifetime
Wounds have spread and seeped into every part of me
I have lost his trail now
This story remains unfinished
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you
Your pain is a knife inside me
Severing the "old me" from my very veins
I have been ensnared in the desert of love
Give water to my burning soul—alas!
Tear down this city, tear it down
Tear down the streets, my love, my memories
The nights keep my secrets hidden
This fire never ends
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you
I was a wounded bird
I flew and flew, far away from you

TAD
Inhaler
2021 U.S. Ltd. Edition RSD Reissue
Tan, Black, And Red Swirl vinyl
One of my favorite albums growing up as a teenager.
“Grease Box” is the absolute jam, and that song was a big deal for me and my friends back in ‘93.
So much so, it was the only cover song the FIRST band ever played in did. It was incredibly easy to play, and TONS of fun.
The whole album smokes from start to finish. Throat Locust, Leafy Incline, Luminol… just one great “grunge” tune after another, all accentuated by incredible production.
Inhaler sounds MASSIVE in every way, and a lot of that has to do with producer J Mascis & the incredible mixing job by John Agnello.
One of the most criminally underrated records from that whole early #90s boom, before things went to complete shit around late ‘94.
Great Tad Doyle quote:
“I wasn’t a lunberjack. I just played one on TV.”

"Said the President, he's got his war
Folks don't know just what it's for
No one gives us rhyme or reason
You have one doubt, they call it treason
I said we're chicken feathers, all without one gut
Tryin' to make it real, but compared to what?"
verse 3
Roberta Flack's - Compared to What?
from her 1969 Debut album, First Take.

Some great music from the 80s, no.31
David Bowie. Lets Dance
David Bowie's hard edged Let's Dance is a statement of where he was in the early 80s. Its a robustious bit of pop, driven forward by a receptive riff on keyboards & guitar, and showcases Bowie's distinctive vocals. As always, it also shows Bowie both moving forward but also keeping certain elements of prior phases of his creative career. While I might prefer earlier phases, this remains a great record!
Listening to some old Seattle grunge, the club stuff.

Well, this week has so far involved a seizure from Jarrah (he missed a dose of his medication, which doesn't bode well for reducing it over the next month, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it), a night of digestive issues for me, and a call from Dad late this afternoon, who thankfully didn't need the hospital this time (probably just dehydrated and low blood sugar; I went over and made him a cuppa and a sandwich).
It's Tuesday. Wtf. I'm putting in an order for less drama for the rest of the week please.
However! Good things are happening all the same:
+ Kid4 has been playing Diablo 2 and loving it and keeps asking me stuff and last night we had a chat about some things (waypoints and identifying items) and he said, 'It's so great to be finally playing a game that I can talk to you about!' (because I play few games, but Diablo 2 is one of my very faves)
+ we have a hot day forecast tomorrow but after that, hopefully it'll be into cooler weather
+ the kitchen stayed clean until the weekend! I say 'stayed clean' – I mean, I kept it clean. Obviously it's a bit messy now given the last couple of days but I feel like it's not overwhelming. Also, the fam is helping with this – yay for a virtuous circle
+ fit in a good trumpet practice before Dad called. I missed so many days last week and I really noticed the difference in my lesson
+ I ordered a record for my birthday soon and it arrived and I'm so delighted 🥰

It's my Caucasian left hand holding a record. It's The Blues Brothers Soundtrack from the film and it has a picture of Jake and Elwood Blues sitting on the bonnet of their car. They're both wearing black suits and dark glasses. The record cover has a blue background and – get this – the record itself is blue too! It's beyond cool. I've wanted this record since I first saw the film when I was 13.

Whoa, oh mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north, and south, and east
Whoa mercy, mercy me (mercy)
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury, oh, oh, mercy, mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be, oh no
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?...

A Great Day in Harlem or Harlem 1958 is a black-and-white photograph of 57 jazz musicians in Harlem, New York, taken by freelance photographer Art Kane for Esquire magazine on August 12, 1958. The idea for the photo came from Esquire's art director, Robert Benton, rather than Kane. However, after being given the commission, it seems that Kane was responsible for choosing the location for the shoot. The subjects are shown at 17 East 126th Street,[a] between Fifth and Madison Avenue, where police had temporarily blocked off traffic. Published as the centerfold of the January 1959 ("Golden Age of Jazz") issue of Esquire,[4] the image was captured with a Hasselblad camera, and earned Kane his first Art Directors Club of New York gold medal for photography. It has been called "the most iconic photograph in jazz history," - Wikipedia

Cut Me Deep (A Story Of Indie Pop 1985-1989)
2024 UK 4xCD Box Set
THIS was something I just couldn’t pass up.
There were just too many amazing artists and too many great songs to not buy it.
Each CD has over 70 mins. of music on it, and it’s the kind of thing where you can just pick ANY of the four, let it play from the beginning, and be completely happy.
It really is an embarrassment of #80s indie pop riches.
I’ll let you read the tracklist on your own to see what I’m talking about.
This might be my favorite thing I’ve bought all year.
Which is wild, because it’s CDs!

MERCURY REV
Deserter's Songs
2018 U.S. reissue
A perfect album for quiet, chilly Monday afternoon.
An absolute musical masterpiece and one of the finest albums of the #90s .
It’s still the only Mercury Rev album I need. Whenever I hear ANYTHING else by them playing, my immediate thought is “Why isn’t Deserter’s Songs on?”.
When I first bought this on CD in ‘98, it was the first album I had become completely immersed in and obsessed with since Radiohead’s OK COMPUTER, which came out in May of 1997.
For the following 16 months, most everything else I heard came of banal and underwhelming.
Until Deserter’s Songs arrived in September of ‘98.
Just a beautiful, inspirational and timeless sounding record made for a day like I’m having today.

Olivia (Live 2020 Basement Sweatpants Version)
Back at the start of covid me and one of my kids did a sloppy semi-live version of my song Olivia for an online thing. Beer and many false starts but it’s an honest performance, aside from the bass track I put on after. So sue me. Thankfully you can’t hear the dogs galloping above us upstairs, which is one of the many fun perks of recording in our basement.
Felt saucy, might delete later.

I don't enjoy going to #orchestra concerts with a conductor. I end up watching the conductor since that is often my job. It makes the #music too predictable. Hard to be surprised. I prefer conductorless ensembles - both for playing and listening. The musicians play differently without a conductor.

I finally released Maolan, DAW for #Linux and #FreeBSD! It was a great joy learning all about #Rust and #audio in a project for #music production. I'm sorry to say that #OpenBSD and #NetBSD are still not supported by the underlying libraries, but once they are, I'll work on support for those operating systems. On the other hand, Windows proved to be near impossible to support, so I removed the support for it. Maybe at some point my best man will add OSX support, but as their baby is on the way, I wouldn't count on it. Anyway, the site is https://maolan.github.io and the only missing piece is "support the project", because I'm in Serbia. Enjoy!

“this is not my face and this is not my life
And there is not a single thing here I can recognize
this is all a dream and none of you are real
And I'll give anything, you know, I'll give anything”

Paul Hardcastle. 19
Yesterday's choice, reminded me of this other classic of cut-up, Paul Hardcastle's more political stomper focussing on the age of US soldiers in Vietnam (using a documentary narration as its source). Now we might question its political thrust, but the stuttering (n..n...n...nineteen) ended up being pretty influential. Maybe not a timeless record, but an interesting production time-capsule, evocative of a moment.

HEINS HOFFMAN-RICHTER
Music To Freak Your Friends And Break Your Lease
2023 U.S. Ltd. Edition Reissue
Pewter With Black/Gray Splatter vinyl
A weird choice for a quiet Sunday morning, but I was in the mood for it.
Originally released in 1974, this was touted as “A Symphony for Tape Delay, IBM Instruction Manual, & Ohm Septet” was credited to “recognized raconteur, genius, composer, musicologist, conductor” Heins Hoffman-Richter.
The liner notes informed the listener that Hoffman-Richter “died from an ear lobe tumor”. 😂
This of course is all very hilarious &complete bullshit as the real artist behind it is renowned cult musician and poet Rod McKuen.
Featuring no real songs or traditionally structured compositions, this bat-shit crazy record is McKuen’s very own Metal Machine Music.
If you like Wild and weird #electronic music, #experimental sounds or #musiqueconcrete this may be for you.

I've been working on a prototype for an instrument that fits an entire keyboard in a compact space.
This is tuned in 4ths like a bass guitar, if only it had 12 strings and a really wide neck.

Dear #PeterCapaldi, #DoctorWho, and #music fans!
Does anyone have a video of the new version of the song "Beautiful and Weird", the one about Ken and Anne Marie?
I fell in love with the song at the Newcastle gig, went back to his first album and found a totally different song with different lyrics and story!
I found a short clip of it so I know I'm not going mad. Another video I found infuriatingly cuts off right as he's introducing the song!
Great gig. Catch him while he's on tour!

Score!
I went to a random Estate Sale this afternoon on the street above mine. And although there were no records, there was THIS beautiful entertainment unit, which was the perfect solution to my electronic component chaos.
Everything is now vertical and on top of each other, instead of spread out randomly horizontally. The unit was on castor wheels (which I’ve removed) and has lovely spring loaded glass doors.
The best part… it was ten bucks!
I could not be happier with how it looks, and “Chaos Corner” now looks neat and organized.
I removed the dual tape deck and stored it away, as I haven’t listened to tapes in a very long time, and I slid that wooden slat out and opened up the bottom, which now is extra storage for “current rotation” records.
I think it looks killer.

Today, I have had "Mary Ellen Carter" running through my mind all day at work, ever since I posted it here last night. I introduced it to a co-worker who had never heard it, and we talked about why it spoke to us as it did.
Here's the thing we noticed. The song does not conclude with the successful raising of the ship. It leaves the outcome still pending. That's because it's not about celebrating a victory. It's about sticking to persistent commitment when we're still in the middle of messy effort, when tomorrow is still unknown. This isn't a song we sing after it's over, it's a song to sing while the struggle is ongoing.
I'm still doing my solo protest vigils, holding up my sign on street corners. I was out there for an hour, after today's work and mass, on a cold windy day. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I've found it's a big help to me if I sing as I stand there, to pass the time and keep my spirits up. So this was my song for today's vigil, and it served as a good rouser on a cold afternoon.

Hello friend! 👋
I'm Vinterkarusell.
I'm a #music producer with a strong passion for #photography \\ music‑wise I bend towards #EDM, while photography stretches from drone/aerial shots to architecture and everyday stills.
A big believer in #privacy, digital independence, #FOSS and #Linux.
When I'm not crafting noise or framing pixels, I’m reading terms and conditions of whatever just to feel something.
Also, I get paid to talk. Not paid a lot, mind you—I just talk a lot.

#X_Song_Raetsel Runde 130 #Musikraetsel #schenklradio Heute mal wieder Bluesrock - und zwar aus meiner Gegend. Ihr hattet ja jetzt ein paar Tage Zeit um eure Rätselfähigkeiten zu schulen, drum legen wir mal los. Ich entführe euch an die Bergstraße. Da werden nicht nur leckere Weine gekeltert und Kartoffelchips hergestellt, nein da wagen sich auch junge Musiker an das Genre Bluesrock. Sie kommen aus einem Ort der den Namen des edlen Rebensaftes in sich trägt und haben hier zusammen die Schulbank gedrückt. Sonst ist mir über die Band nicht viel bekannt. Ihr Name hat etwas Fruchtiges in sich - "Nebenbeere" könnte man ihn übersetzen. Wen suche ich heute? Hast du eine Idee? DM an mich! Bei richtiger Lösung gibt's +1 Stimme für alle für die heutige Samstagsshow auf Gerne Boost / Renotes !
I can’t stop listening to this album. It sounds amazingly beautiful. Not perfect, but beautiful! As some kind of magic.
I discovered #Kite after someone shared a new album by Anna von Hausswolff here. She was a nice discovery for me, but Kite is just the treasure!

1982 Canada 10” Compilation
Great little mix of stuff for a chilly Saturday morning, featuring artists that appeared on the EG label.
There’s a few different versions of this comp that came out, depending on the market in which it was being sold.
The U.S. version has a completely different track list and was a traditional 12” record. THAT version had a King Crimson track on it that’s absent on this 10” Canadian version, as well as a few other differences.
It’s a killer comp regardless of which one you have. This Canadian one has Adam And The Ants, Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, Jon Hassell, Longe Lizards, and The League Of Gentlemen to name just a few.
One of my favorite compilations ever.
