Fun fact: It was John Mclaughlin who got Jeff Beck into jazz rock. Beck started recording instrumental jazz rock right after he saw the legendary central park concert with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. It was sort of referenced in This is Spinal Tap when the band went down its jazz rock path...And the winner is: Jeff Beck's hot bassist Tal Wilkenfeld...

I just can't stand that "lobbyists is people" line, which, appropriately enough, was turned into an ad by the Edwards camp. Seen here in the "Oops. Our Bad" ad: Ted Rall also has the anti Hillary analysis down: I forgive easily. I could have let Hillary off the hook for supporting NAFTA, screwing up healthcare in 1993 and voting for the proto-fascist USA-Patriot Act. I could have overlooked her Reaganesque cluelessness about the lives of ordinary people. (Reneging on her "baby bond" proposal that Americans receive $5,000 at age 18, she now wants to give everyone a 401(k) and have the government match it "up to $1,000." Thanks to this windfall, she says, "they will be able to access it to go to college or maybe they will be able to make that down payment on their first home." Lame idea, obviously. What I want to know is: Where can you buy a house or a college education for $1000? On the moon?) Labels: john edwards, lobbyists is people, music, oops my bad Thursday, November 01, 2007.
I still can't see myself voting for him but he truly does have radical ideas. He's openly against the drug war for example. I would give him a look. I'd also vote for David Cross if he ran for anything....

And if you recall (they'll be a quiz later) Jim Hightower also explained why we're in Iraq and it's not about democracy or "helping" the Iraqi people, unless you define helping as killing about 600000 Iraqis. We're full of help over here. We're really there so that our puppet goverment can pass something called the Iraqi Oil Law, which Hightower explained here. Or as I described it earlier this is legalized plunder. Nobody talks about it, even the dems. It would be nice if they said that we're above killing hundreds of thousands of people and taking their stuff "christian" nation we are and all that....

Joe Zawinul b. 1932 d. Sept. 11, 2007 Zawinul understood that the beauty of jazz is in its growth and reach. You're supposed to improvise and experiment in jazz. Bebop and smaller than Big Band ensembles used to be heresy too. Thank you Z for music that expanded my ear and blew my mind. I never needed drugs thanks to you. Not to mention music so futuristic fluid and cool that 30 years later it still sounds futuristic fluid and cool. By the way, Z isn't only the father of acid jazz but he was one of the first samplers. A fuckin' genius. Thanks to the Youtubes you can visit the entirety of the Z canon from his days with Cannonball Adderly: to his peak work with Weather Report and even, and I admit this as a fan, his somewhat disappointing work with the Zawinul Syndicate. Just about every song from Heavy Weather, definitely their masterpiece even though Night Passage is a beautiful album as well, is online. You can find tunes from Heavy Weather here, here, here, here and here. As for showcase pieces, I think these two songs from Mr. Gone kind of catch Z at his best. I just wish someone had taped the 79 Weather Report that I caught at the old Stanley Theater with Jaco. Still one of the most memorable concerts that I had ever seen. I was actually not a big fan of Mr. Gone when it came out but these tunes have aged very well or maybe its Jaco's sinewy live bass lines. Z or Weather Report was never as good post Jaco. Just an opinion. (Another opinion: He probably needed another heavyweight like Wayne Shorter to occasionally tell him no.) and River People: You'll never be forgotten Z. I can't imagine my life without your sound. Labels: Jazz Fascists, Joe Zawinul, music Sunday, September 09, 2007.

This is the latest version of my music channel. It currently has about 100 videos. If I wanted to be competitive with the music channels it probably needs about 300 or so. And I should add new vids to the mix all the time. I think this is the way you could create your own propaganda. Note the Chomsky and atheism clips. Just like the Geico ads. Spread the message over and over and over again.
If you're interested in creating your own radical tv station you should go to this site. The Mad Hungarian who runs this site is very cool and he added Daily Motion--where the music vids at least don't disappear--to his mix, even though you can't add too many of them. I'm curious as to what you would come up with...IN the future, ideally, you could say: "No don't watch that sucky MTV which doesn't play music anyway. Go watch AMSAT Television. That's high quality stuff." Update: It takes a minute or two to load. Sometimes it doesn't load at all... Labels: music, Personal Television Friday, March 23, 2007.
