Host ,'Not Fade Away'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I too am excited about the new Wilco lineup.
Another question, does anyone happen to know what song was played at the beginning and end of last night’s episode of the Sopranos?
They use music wonderfully on that show, yet give it no space in the credits. I hate that.
So - he just seems too mature and successful to want to do the crazy dramatic rock band thing
Ah. That makes sense with the not making sense thing.
In 1970 McLaughlin was recording Jack Johnson with Miles & rocking way harder than the Burritos ever did, not that rocking out was really their shtick (signed, "The Heretic who still doesn't really get the Gram Parsons fuss"). In 1970 Charlie Haden was leading the original Liberation Music Orchestra - I assume the version Nels Cline was in was one of Haden's/Carla Bley's periodic reformings of the group - and while he never joined the Burritos he did make a couple albums with Cream's Ginger Baker 25 years later. Going Back Home, which also features Bill Frisell, is really great.
Well, I tried to pick people that could conceivably have played with the Burritos, knowing Charlie's country music background, and figuring McLaughlin's fluid, melodic style would've worked better than...say, Sonny Sharrock.
Joe, I'm listening to a compilation titled Jazz and Cinema and its got Miles tracks from Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud and Art Blakey from Des Femmes Disparaissent and Mal Waldron/Dizzy from Cool World and Duke Jordan/Art Blakey from Les Liaisons Dangereuses and Coleman Hawkins and Oscar Peterson from Les Tricheur.
Not bad for $4 in the cut out bin. It's oh so existential.

Want. Really really a lot.
t edit Though I'm not Joe.
Want. Really really a lot.
Gee, if only I could burn it...
adds Teppy to the list of promised mixes and burns, which will be receiving some attention now that the ding dang book is done.
No big.
Still not Joe.
Still not Joe.
You can be Joe. From your part of Ohio it's almost required, Teppy Jo.
the Geraldine Fibbers mined the same territory as Wilco.
I don't know about this. The Fibbers were deconstructing country from an indie-rock perspective (and covering both Can & George Jones and stunts like that), but I think Wilco's take on American music is less intellectual & more emotional in its origin. God knows I love the Fibbers desperately (as well as Watt's Engine Room rock opera and Nels's own skronk-jazz), but I think Jeff Tweedy is the embodiment of indie zeitgeist, the Songwriter of My Generation, the guy with the ambition & talent to bring crazily divergent genres together seamlessly. Having Nels on his team may be the most exciting rock news I've heard in a while.
Feel free to burn a second copy if you get around to it, David. I can send you the Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud soundtrack, Steph. Does the comp have any John Lewis/MJQ? He did a lot of soundtrack work, most notably Odds Against Tomorrow. I really dig "The Golden Striker" too, written for No Sun in Venice. Anything from Martial Solal? Do you have his "Breathless" soundtrack? I don't, and don't really remember the score, but I have a couple of his CDs that are pretty great.
