Kon-genial: Prog Noir - by Stick Men
With riveting performances by the modern prog-rock legends Stick Men – Tony Levin, Markus Reuter and Pat Mastelotto – , "Prog Noir" is ambitious, achieving and immediately essential. Cinematic themes, towering grooves and intricate arrangements are all on tap, and shower down in abundance. Proving conclusively that the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts, this herculean effort exceeds any perceived limitations of the trio format -- satisfying even the most devout and demanding of listeners.

Long-time fans of Stick Men and King Crimson will revel in ecstasy, as the three sonic adventurers gleefully waltz to the outer fringes, while remaining sure-footed through every scene. The chemistry of Levin and Mastelotto has never been more evident, keeping a solid, propulsive undercurrent flowing beneath the soaring presence of the ingenious 'mad scientist' antics of Reuter. ... and a profound presence Markus Reuter does prove himself to be. One could be quickly forgiven for mistaking his avid, searching, convicted playing for that of Master Fripp, if administered under blindfold! ...

Zur Zeit höre ich no Artists United Against Global Apartheid ... Oder habe ich da was verpasst?

Großartig dass einer mal festgehalten hat, wie der Chicago-Blues auf der Straße lebt: Grandpa Elliot and Stoney B. in New Orleans (1994) mit Little Walters "Just Your Fool". - dem Song, mit dem die Rolling Stones gerade groß rauskommen (weil alle froh sind, dass sie den Blues wiedergefunden haben).

Regular readers here know I’ve been begging the Stones to make a full-on blues album for years. Well… it appears they now have. Their first studio album in over a decade is called Blue & Lonesome, and features a spat of blues covers made famous by the likes of Little Walter, Jimmy Reed & Howlin’ Wolf. Personally, I would have preferred originals ... Willard: Blue & Lonesome: The Original Artists

Echte Fundstücke: die letzte Yardbirds-Besetzung vor dem Wechsel zu New Yardbirds = Led Zeppelin

Wie ich finde: einer der interessantesten Titel der Popmusik-Geschichte; - nicht musikalisch, rein titelmäßig!
[Für nicht Beach-Boys-Brian-Wilson-Interessierte: Es folgen Interna! --> also eher unten das schöne Video zu Jan&Dean ansehen ...]

Stichwort ist erstmal: Book Review (New York Times _ Books of The Times. By JANET MASLIN AUG. 29, 2016):

In ‘Good Vibrations,’ Summer Fun Soured by Mike Love’s Score Settling

This fall will bring a gold rush of books by and about musicians, with Bruce Springsteen’s memoir as the big kahuna. But the ripe Americana of surf music will be well represented too, as it was in the superb indie film “Love and Mercy.” Mr. Love’s book ranks high in gossip and readability, even if it’s stuffed with tedious chart positions for Beach Boys records. Brian Wilson has “I Am Brian Wilson” coming out in October. (Mr. Wilson, with his brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mr. Love and their friend Al Jardine, constitute the core group of Beach Boys; there have been many personnel changes.)

Dean Torrence’s “Surf City: The Jan & Dean Story” arrives next week. And last year “Long Promised Road,” a full biography of the enormously talented and most overlooked Wilson brother, Carl, was published. Mr. Love goes out of his way to diss Carl and ignore his contributions to the group, both musical and diplomatic, whenever he can.

But his biggest beef is with Brian Wilson, who has been called a genius for most of Mr. Love’s lifetime. In “Good Vibrations,” Mr. Love would like to correct that impression, although in a peace-loving, roundabout way. Though he writes, “I’ve never been competitive with Brian,” he also tosses in zingers like, “I’m a Pisces, and Brian, a Gemini; and it is said that a Pisces writes out of inspiration while a Gemini writes out of desperation.” The biggest bone of contention in the book is Mr. Love’s claim that he wrote many of the lyrics credited to Mr. Wilson and was knowingly cheated out of credit and royalties by him and by Murry Wilson, the Wilson boys’ famously abusive father.

Mr. Love, who cherry picks his facts carefully, devotes a lot of space to a lawsuit he filed, seeking to regain the credit and money he lost. He leaves out a later, more specious suit he brought in 2005, just as he is very careful to give only a fleeting, cautiously worded mention of his political affiliations. He is above that sort of thing, he maintains — any savvy performer knows that partisanship is bad for business — and would gladly perform for non-Republican presidents if they ever invited him. His personal views don’t matter. His dodginess, here and throughout the book, does....

Durch die Wüste
von Ton Steine Scherben, 1975
T/M: Rio Reiser und R.P.S. Lanrue

Ich komm aus der Wüste aus Stahl und Glas.
Ich komm aus der Wüste aus Angst und Haß,
wo die Menschen verdursten auf der Suche nach Liebe,
krank vor Verzweiflung und vom Warten müde.

Ich komm aus dem Land der vergifteten Straßen,
wo man den Tag verkaufen muß, um sorglos zu schlafen.
Wo das Leben schneller ist als ein Herz schlagen kann
und tausend Lügner sprechen bevor einer die Wahrheit sagen kann.

Ich komm vom Planeten der verzweifelten Götter.
Ich komm vom Planeten der reichen Bettler,
wo die Liebe verkauft wird und der Haß verschenkt,
wo die Mörder belohnt werden und die Heiligen gehenkt.

Hilf mir!
Hilf mir!
Zeig mir den Weg hier raus!
Laß mich nicht hängen,
gib mir 'ne Antwort,
zeig mir den Weg hier raus.
Hilf mir!

A new clip from Ron Howard’s upcoming documentary on The Beatles’ touring years, 1962-1966. There’s a website, of course, which has detailed information about a new re-issue of the Hollywood Bowl tapes, with refurbished sound from a new source and bonus tracks.

Note The Beatles’ company logo… which now publicly uses the corporate name, “Apple Corps.” This began after a series of lawsuits and settlements with Steve Jobs’ Apple Inc., which – believe it or not – resulted in The Beatles now having to license the Granny Smith apple logo from Apple Inc. in order to use it. The negotiations were kept secret, but the prevailing theory is that The Beatles basically sold the trademark to Jobs after endless litigation, and now have to license their old logo for its continued use. Aren’t you glad you don’t have rich people problems?
