USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

[burd]

My wife had a truly inspired idea for saving money on the ceremony - have it during the Sunday vigil mass (Saturday evening). It’s an old custom, but still valid. That Mass usual lay has ~350-400 people, add in our guests, and it was around 600, probably more. My wife would know how the exact number. We probably had 300 people at our reception. We did more of a party thing, carnival games outside, a food truck and different windows around the site that just kept churning out the food and drinks, not a sit down service with assigned seats, etc.. So that number can only ever be a guess.

That sounds like fun and, like you said, an inspired idea. We had 4, excluding the official: her parents and mine in a country house we had remodeled while occupying. It was right for us. A lot of good but different ways to skin a cat.

38 years ago today, the band Falco released the album "Falco 3." That inventively named album contained the hit "Rock Me, Amadeus."

While standing in front of 600+ people, most of whom I didn't know, just before my wedding started. The entire time I was standing there, more or less alone, this was running through my head:

On a dais, on a dais
On a dais
On a dais, on a dais
On a dais
On a dais, on a dais
On a dais
And now I'm standing on a dais

And it kept a smile on my face the whole time.

Janis Joplin - Kozmic Blues (Live)

The recorded version is slightly better, but this performance is near perfection.

As a kid born in '67 that grew up in an era when AOR radio was king, there were bands/artists I became a fan of that at some point I was stunned to learn one the members died at the age of 27. Not always 27 but often. Janis, Jim, Brian, Jimi and Pigpen come to mind.

In any case when you're 10, 12, 15, it's a bummer to hear of their demise. But when I realized that Janis was one of them it ranked near the top of losses that left a mark on me. My brother was a big fan so I got to hear her a lot. My brother loved to torture me, but he introduced me to Janis, Prince, Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Dead, Boz Scaggs, Edgar Winter, Allman Brothers, etc and those reveals will forever be etched in my soul.

She's absolutely a legend, but I think is often over-looked.

She brought them to their feet at the '67 Monterrey Pop Festival, her first major show with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Great footage on the movie about that event.

That’s some serious Anglophile stuff going on there. The problem is, it’s hard to argue against them even though I’m not a Radiohead guy.

Currentism. The greatest album of all time is Kind of Blue, by Miles Davis. I doubt any album in their top ten is in the actual top 100.

thats at 38, its all Beatles and Pink Floyd until I stopped at 40. Kanye ahead of the Allman Brothers or Steely Day, get the **** out

I approve. Schubert approves. Goethe approves.
