Greatest Hits of the Clavinet

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Stevie Wonder, "Superstition"
Steely Dan, "Kid Charlemagne"
LCD Soundsystem, "Yeah (Pretentious Version)"
Phoenix, a couple tracks on United

...and probably a million disco-funk tunes.

When played as a bass line, the clavinet sounds fantastic!

I love the little stabs between these lines on Phoenix's "If I Ever Feel Better"

'They help me going through hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe'

Led Zeppelin - "Custard Pie" (a "superstition" rip but oh well, JPJ was on fire at this point).

hi, what time are you going on tonight?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 5 May 2004 23:11 (twenty-two years ago)

both "Trampled Under Foot" and "Custard Pie" have clavinet. But yeah, the former was the "superstition" sound-alike.

wow, partial cred restored.

I think we're on around 10 or 10:30. Sadly, there will be no clavinet solos.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Wednesday, 5 May 2004 23:18 (twenty-two years ago)

okay, i'm gonna stop by around 10pm. nice!

cool - it'll be good to see you, it's been awhile. You'll have to tell me tales of the No Fun NY thing...

Terry Adams of NRBQ owns this instrument. He's definitely the only musician who's ever thought to ride a clavinet across the stage.

"Take Me Home and Make Me Like It" LX Chilton

Ditto the collected works of NRBQ.
