Very sad. My favourite track of hers is from early on, when she was still Christine Perfect:

RIP Jerry Lee Lewis aka The Killer! I remember that Jerry made our show in Spain in 1990 very special. He refused to perform unless he closed the show. We had a great show!

Here you can see some footage of that show. First it's the Beach Boys' set (without Carl), then you'll see one song by Jerry Lee (he did perform more of course):

Wow, Rocker -- thanks for that. Rest in peace, that man.

To reactivate this heart-warming topic after far too long, how about this charming duet between Viagra Boys lead singer Sebastian Murphy and Amy Taylor of Amyl and the Sniffers?

I've looked all over and can find nothing.

Well let's keep hoping it gets published in some form or another. It would certainly make a wonderful read!

[Requiem]

I've been fascinated by René Leibowitz as a conductor ever since buying his luminous rendition of Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem. And then discovering I already owned a version (on a 78 rpm record bought in a junk shop) of Alban Berg's Four Songs, Op. 2 that he had orchestrated and conducted.

A couple of days ago, this wonderful album of music by Albert Roussel conducted by Leibowitz was brought to my notice. Both Le Festin de l’araignée and Le Marchand de Sable qui passe are magical listens:

[Debut]

Thanks for that, Ovi. Yes, the Everlys are special. My first taste of their music was this other-worldly 45 fading in and out on Radio Luxembourg one night in ’61. It scared the life out of me! It’s still my favourite of theirs:

Of the artists you mention, I know and love Björk’s Debut and Utopia. The great Gene Vincent cut some fantastic classic rock and roll tracks with guitarist Cliff Gallup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Gallup):

I was lucky enough to see Steely Dan play in Lucca (of all places) in 2007. My favourite albums of theirs are Pretzel Logic, The Royal Scam, the much later Two Against Nature and (at the top of the list) Gaucho:

Take care!

Quite bizarre for a BB forum that no one has responded to this yet! Your videos deserve better.

Well let's hope your message here has roused the browsers, if not the posters, into action.

I haven't visited this section in ages. But I certainly came up trumps this time. These are sensational, Guillaume. The one that sticks in my mind the most is the stamping "Reverberation", although every track is pretty blissed out.

Good luck with those vocals! That said, the tracks sound fantastic in themselves, so I hope you leave them up after uploading the vocal versions.

Thanks so much buddy! Was checking the forum to find an accurate list of all BBs documentaries and saw this. What a nice surprise! Struggled to remember my login details!

What have you been up to? What music are you into these days?

Hi Ovi. I really didn't think you'd see it -- what a coincidence. Very cool!
 
What music am I into? Well, in the past few years I've been exploring pop/rock from former Yugoslavia…

…and from the former Soviet Union:

https://endlessharmony.boards.net/thread/1937/dawn-alyans-1980s-soviet-synthpop

I've also been exploring Sovietwave (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxj6TbbtDk) and Vaporwave (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaQS379Idss), along with much Baroque music. Plenty to explore then!

As for rap, I still like MF Doom's stuff but Kendrick L is simply too heavy for me! And you? Have you found anything interesting recently?

Take care!

Heard Tavares' take on "She's Gone" while on holiday, decided to check out Hall & Oates' original and much preferred the cover version:

Love the vibe on that track! Dobie Gray’s song is perfectly suited to the RL treatment. May he rest in peace.

Ovi being the fella who tried to kindle my interest in rap and partially succeeded (for a while) -- and who makes cool videos!  

La Mulți Ani!  

I see Mr Linett looked in yesterday. I can only assume he's unable to answer your question, although it might be polite of him to say so.

All the way from Birmingham (UK), Humantide are Chris Hickling (lead vox and guitar), Martyn Barran (bass), Richard Hickling (guitar and vox) and Ryan Kerley (drums). This is "The Company Whip":

[SMiLE]

You can access some interesting things here too:  https://thecarbonfreeze.com/2019/06/11/smile-2-the-men-behind-the-music/

Good to see this linked here. The blogger has since moved on to other topics but produced some wondrous SMiLE posts over the years that are well worth investigating.

Put me down tentatively.

It only just occurred to me that you were the Aussie from Germany who arrived a little later than the rest. Very cool!

[I dolci inganni]

I think you'd need to see I dolci inganni (Sweet Deceptions, 1960) before the OST made any sense. I watched it a few days ago and was enchanted:

I’m not sure whether this falls under constructive criticism, JH, but I’d say you nailed it! And it was certainly worth the wait, as always.

If Brian is not yet aware of what you are doing for the future of his music, it’s high time he was. (Paging Howie E…)

Listening to this recent gem by Beach Boy Land's favourite mandolinist:

Earlier in the week I found myself revisiting this obscure rockabilly gem but I have absolutely no idea how I got there! Sonny Burgess's "Red Headed Woman" dates from 1956:

Really looking forward to "Rhonda". But what a wonderful way to tide us over until then! I suspect those "several people" have been watching the new video with open mouths. It's not for the faint of heart, to be sure -- but what a fantastic trip for those who can handle it! Thank you. 

[SS/WH]

Interesting topic, pm. The bonus track (actually a combination of bonus tracks) that comes straight to my mind is "Can't Wait Too Long" on the SS/WH twofer.  I couldn't believe my ears the first time I heard it -- it was like a whole new world opening up. I say combination of tracks, because its predecessor is the a cappella "Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring" and the contrast couldn't be greater, from that song's intimate chamber setting to the musical equivalent of a tropical landscape.   

Right now I'm obsessing over these three tracks, beginning with the most obsessive of the three:

"Battleflag" (Lo Fidelity Allstars ft. Pigeonhed): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bh-j4vVbTU

"Injected With A Poison" (Praga Khan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2U1SJorwK4

"The Wedding" (Man Jumping): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-U672TsDw8

This must be the most unsettling pop album closer ever:
