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

The internet can be a great tool for expanding knowledge and converting curiosity into awareness and inspiration.

I was listening to an Art Farmer song on Pandora, and reading up on him. Wikipedia noted his work with composer Gigi Gryce. I had never heard of Gryce, so began to read up on him. His biography is compelling, and complex, and could make a great film.

Here is his piece "Minority." Enjoy.

Good balance of driving hard be bop and intricate interweaving themes. Apparently Gryce's work does not typically allow much room for solos so it did not enjoy widespread popularity among performers who used melodies as vehicles for their performance.

For I, I recommend Interpol.

Speaking of, Slap, I feel a need to blare Antics and Turn On the Bright Lights again.
 
So, Quatermass are a power trio / prog band from the late 60s, tenuously related to Deep Purple. I put them into Pandora. They didn't do enough of a catalog in only 2 years to have an Artist Only option, so the channel plays other algorithmically-related material.

First three songs to play:
  • The Rock (The Who)
  • Matte Kudasai (King Crimson)
  • Interstellar Overdrive (Pink Floyd)
That's a helluva reference cloud.

I agree with all the rest because I've never heard of any of them. :-)

Most are probably imaginary. Slap's opium haze.

Not that he doesn't believe they exist.

I'm sure they're not the only real and spectacular things I am ignorant of. Kep is old too, but he'd at least heard of one of them.

I am working my way through his whole list now, though.

This is how knowledge spreads.

I have high hopes for a group called "Chicano Batman."
