thread of scottness

cool! i dig it. definitely. fatback had a good song called hot box too. and i could almost swear that i had an 80's dance single by a group called hot box. but i've never heard this one before. thanks!

I don't know what music you like Scott but maybe you would like this I hope so!

Maybe you like cimbaloms!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQwYq4oKIDQ

okay, that first one you posted just might be one of the coolest things i've ever seen or heard. this month, anway. WOW! love when he busts out the harmonica. love the whole thing!

giani lincan is fuckin' badass. i want a cimbalom!

thanks for that too.

This is from a nice film which I haven't seen in a while and should see again soon!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zF_u0k1moo

that's from a Bava flick? god, i love him. i wish i was rich enough to afford those Bava boxes.

Oh you like the cimbaloms then you should check out Toni Iordache!

Also from Romania I like Romica Puceanu - great singer..

Fast Forward to 4 minutes in for the closing theme music to this TV program

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MnmS5vYReY

The whole show is on there and is very good too!

i was on a manos hadjidakis youtube jag - you've all been there i'm sure - and i came across this excellent version of "suzanne" by fleury dadonaky. i dig fleury:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mOh-QaSrxCs

um, just posting this cuz i feel like it.

That's great, Scott.

Mladen Koinarov - Devoiko Mari Hubava from the magic of Bulgarian Voices

how the hell did you find the music for that scottish thing??? did you watch the whole movie? man, those are some tense scots. the band sounds familiar. is it just a t.v. prog band?

love the zither queen, pash! great footage. sound is a little rough, but that's okay.

http://hub.tv-ark.org.uk/dsplus/m.php?p=playfortoday1972-kisses.rm

Larry Kearns with the soundtrack to Kisses at Fifty - no youtube this time sorry!

Oh you get the Play for Today music thrown in too there

I have a copy of Just Another Saturday its a very good film! I don't know who does music at end it doesn't say. Peter Mcdougall had some other good plays/movies too - I'll look for Just A Boys Game

you wanna be hypnotized? check out this vietnamese monochord virtuoso:

sweet smoke for scott-hedz

I really dig that Armenian zither clip because it really captures a sense of place, as well as the music being great & v energetic.

Couple of 78s recorded by silent movie queen Pola Negri in the 1930s:

"Tango Notturno" (1937):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYTO5DXrD-s

"Paradis" (1934):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfs0n2rJqgo

(she even whistles part of the tune on this one)

(I started a thread about these ages ago, but nobody gave a fuck. I still love them and listen to them loads tho)

The "voice from the past" turns out to sound somewhat like a mellower version of Dagmar Krause! The guy who uploaded these has a stack of '30's Polish and Russian tango 78's up. Kind of intriguing, eh?

Thats pretty!

Here's some Jaipong from Indonesia

more vietnamese awesomeness that will make yer jaw drop:

pola negri into jaipong is actually pretty inspired. i gotta say. thanks, you guys!

speaking of jaipong, have you guys ever seen mela liani? um, er, uh, ooooooof! look, i'm only human...

Do you like a drinking song?

i like that one. too short though.

it might not beat the album i have of German school children singing negro spirituals live in Japan, but a video of Czech orphans singing a Flemish church song in Esperanto is pretty hard to top when it comes to cultural confusion:

I started this without seeing this thread first. :(

Thread for songs that you don't think Scott Seward has heard but seem like *only* Scott has heard

You can lock my thread, mods.

All good.

more dan bau sweetness. doesn't get more E meets W than this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4eKchmNh3U&feature=related

you know, i DON'T have that Ralph Lundsten Discophrenia album and i really really should. I love the album right before it, Raplh Lundsten's Universe, and one of the ones after it, Paradissymfonin. i'll get it one of these days.

er, in reference to that other thread.

here is something i wrote about that Ralph Lundsten Universe album:

"Damnation in the kissmos, here comes a love-sick robot..." Stately & serene, the Swedish mothership, with cool, elegant lines and a roominess designed for maximum comfort, takes off into the unknown, finds the unknown, brings the unknown back to earth, and then has a party for all of humanity. Not that humanity deserves it. Most of humanity only WISHES that it could comprehend the majesty of a song like "Harvest In Heaven". Described as a "cosmic comedy in a transistorized meadow in the shadow of the saliva tree on the paradoxical planet", it's much too grand a construct for the average puny human to grapple with mentally. This album, even a song like "Rhapzodiac" where "the ship's computer plays a polystructural, extrasensory sensation foaming over with love", is wholly devoid of kitsch or euro-cheese datedness. (Not that I would necessarily be against any song on grounds of cheese or datedness. Just commenting on the absence of those ingredients.) It's a completely successful blend of light classical, jazz, new age electronic, and rockish stylings. Great with drugs and without drugs. To quote again from the album notes: "Strange forms of life have developed in the steaming jungles..."

Here is one you may not have heard, scott. It's called I Love to Boogie by a band called Hot Jam.

Hello, Hello Everyone! And thanx vermillion for that amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing (and also amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing) Adriano Celentano clip! What the hells is that exactly? Sadly, the 5 or so other clips of his I checked out weren't so proto-punk.

And Pash, I cared about your Pola Negri thread almost a year ago to the day....

Hello Kevin! I saved this one for the right moment and maybe that moment is now!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzQImLL6tUE

You probably already know this one but I often forget it. Love this video! Dies Irae from 1971

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B38OQ98Wu4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q5DAN5pE6w

I didn't know this one but its pretty it sounds a bit like Kerri Chandler!

I like the people at that party! Especially the hair and sunglasses of the first dude!

The Adriano Celentano and the last one are kind of the same! Music that girls that are sexy do that kind of walking dance where they pout at same time!

That is Aardvarck - Cult Copy (2000 And One remix), and I feel like I understand what scottness might include even less than before I clicked on this thread, but great links anyway.

i will watch the rest of this stuff tomorrow. just got back from an all day wedding and i need to sleep the booze off.

That is Aardvarck - Cult Copy (2000 And One remix)

Lovely isn't it!

It makes a happy face!

And Pash, I cared about your Pola Negri thread almost a year ago to the day....

You did! I appreciated it. Here is the "Paradise" number, from "at woman's command", sung in English (not as good as the french version I think):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRDLLPViYqU

The film itself is available here:

http://www.clarabow.net/videosforsale/videosforsale.html

I haven't seen it, I need to get "Barbed Wire" first. If you haven't seen "Hotel Imperial", I strongly recommend it, it's a great movie.

(apols for this brief diversion, Scott)

eh?

"Here is one you may not have heard, scott. It's called I Love to Boogie by a band called Hot Jam."

awesome! i could listen to that all day long.

OMG, that Timm Thaler thing is insane. i forwarded that to my friend lance. i immediately thought of him. lance has one of the coolest and most inspired websites just in case you have never seen it:

http://www.kindertrauma.com/

tripping over rock into series of laughter = !!!!

inability to speak german enhancement not impairment

so this wedding yesterday was awesome and i drank my weight in wine and they had a local country-fied band and the groom's young son's teen indie rock band and then the local band kahoots (the groom is in that band) played with, like, ten people on stage and they had wailing sax and nina violet on fiddle and chris brokaw on interstellar guitar and they were totally jamming like hawkwind and i wish i had an MP3 of it to share cuz it's the coolest thing i've heard live in forever and it reverberated thru the hills and over the ocean out back and it was LOUD. so loud we had to leave cuz little rufus was getting freaked out. more weddings should end like that.

bootleg live sandy denny:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzuAdomOreA

okee muskokeeeeee i'll do a countryrok one.

that milk & cookies reissue has been rockin' me all week, so that's why i thought of a pop mix. i'll do one of those after. i've got lots of cool stuff on 45 that would be good to have on digital/disc.

i'll link up my fave vids of recent weeks though:

the quick - no no girl

awesome clip of holly & the italians on the old grey whistle test:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aLZnCjD8vQ

Cool! I was listening to the Pop's Go! tonight -- found a really beautiful copy a few weeks ago.

So this might be too obvious...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9QDuvmg6is

really digging this track from the new urfaust ep:

http://www.myspace.com/urfaustfans

(oh, it's the untitled one. second one on their list of songs. great synthdoom nuttiness.)

i think maybe there has never been a cooler chick than the girl from Prisencolinensinainciusol (Hello Everyone's first link). at exactly 1:49 i fall in love. every time.

loving this:

also, since i was just listening to it, here's one of my fave songs of all time. don farden's (i'm a HUGE don farden fan) "Belfast Boy" - his epic tribute to George Best - with one of the greatest way ahead of it's time synth riffs ever. why nobody did an acid house remix is beyond me.

(sound quality isn't the hottest, but, whatever...)

thanks, scott, i always thought Ferrante & Teicher had some hip shit. great video.

and i only knew Don Fardon's "Indian Reservation". that song is amazing.

this is for you. do you know the flamenco prog group Carmen? here's their track Stepping Stone. kinda reminds me a bit of a funky version of System of a Down (in a good way, since they're one of the few nu-metal groups i don't turn off when they come on the radio or mtv)

SCOTT!! attention!!

This mix is called "Take a stroll through your mind" and is a selection of songs with a psychedelic feel from around the world. All of the music is from the late 1960s and early 70s (1967 - 1975) when psychedelic sounds spread to all corners of the globe. There is something about the warmth and the tone of this music, especially that fuzz guitar that sends me into ecstasy. It make me feel as if I am wrapped in cotton wool. While psychedelic music can often sound like a bunch of stoners making a freaked out racket, all of the songs here are exquisitely joyous, beautifully crafted pieces of music, often with ideas and production that still sounds ahead of the curve. Not all of these tracks are intentionally psychedelic, but all have that certain something that can transport one to another place and another time. All the tracks were recorded from vinyl and in some cases the records aren't in tip top condition or were fairly poor pressings to begin with (especially the African records), so apologies for the fidelity in a few places. Hopefully the wonder of the music still shines through. Once again we aren't making a tracklisting available for the podcast but if you want to know what anything is, feel free to get in touch and we will let you know. None of the tracks are mixed but are all segued together. In order, the tracks are from the following countries - USA / Zambia / USA / USA / USA / UK / Algeria / Egypt / Brazil / Nigeria / Mexico / Mexico / USA. The mix contains 13 tracks and lasts 69 minutes and the download is a 192kbps mp3 (90mb). Enjoy.

have you heard this Snail record? i think you'd totally dig it. my mom used to live w/the band in Santa Cruz in the 70s. i've heard from 2 older hippy types that lived there then that they were like the top band in the area at the time. great country rock jams and some spacier moments

there is fodder for deejaying on that manzarek album. for realz. wonder if there were 12 inch remixes?

i no longer trust you. this is gawdawful. disco, prog, carmina burana. almost sounds like Magma, but it's so shitty.

Scott, did you ever get a copy of the Fuse album?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzlwFNY6zOY

quintessence has a pretty great krauty vibe. i've actually been listening to a bunch of john surman and other ecm tracks on youtube tonight and didn't realize i'd changed to this before the crazy guitar kicked in.

i bought a warped copy of the fuse album! last year. bummed me out. didn't notice the warp until after i was home. so, i still need one, but no hurry, i got lots to listen to.

r.i.p. dimi mint abba. a wonderful singer. found out via email. and to be honest i only know her via youtube! so, thanks, youtube.

r.i.p. dimi mint abba. a wonderful singer.

I'm just seeing this now. I got to see her once (at International House, I think) and live she was amazing. Incredibly powerful voice. I haven't enjoyed the recordings as much, but had hoped to see her again. Also, the subtle dance moves of her accompaniment were great. There was one point in the show when they shifted gears and one of her musicians (her husband, I think) pulled an electric guitar out of nowhere (well, you couldn't see it ahead of time anyway).

play me a good song i ain't never heard! come on, you can do it. i'm bord...

Probably heard this, but it's good

scott i watched a terrible documentary on folk/pagan metal last night on youtube, and i actually thought to myself "scott seward would have handled this much better, and been funnier about it."

aw, thanks for the thought, strongo.

jacob i will watch those now i'm still bored but busier. don't think i've head them.
