Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Clementine” by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

by

Man, the balls on this guy. For years he’s been following his muse by foisting every type of music onto his unsuspecting public with the expectation that his audience is going to eagerly lap it up. We’ve had the faux rockabilly of The Shocking Pinks, the somewhat Republican country of “Old Ways,” half-baked concepts like “Greendale,” the inspired electro-pop of “Trans,” the “Metal Machine Music of “Arc,” the ham-bone “T-Bone” of “Re-Ac-tor,” the smooth soul of “Are You Passionate?,” the juxtaposition of excruciating kiddie choruses with left wing political views on “Living With War,” not to mention his numerous films…some good and some really dreadful. Which brings us to “Americana” and it’s concept of taking old public domain folk and children’s songs and electrifying them. As an audience we’ve been with him for every turn…and the reason for this is that even when his concepts are really misguided, they are still worth a listen and more importantly, his records are always INTERESTING! “Americana” is no different…the concept sounds really awful on paper, and the initial spins bared mixed results. But with repeated listening, Neil’s latest is one of his better records…one I keep coming back to and probably will as time goes on.

Song Of The Day – “Get A Job” by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

by

This ain’t your daddy’s doo wop…nor is it your sister’s “American Recordings” by Johnny Cash. What we have here are four crusty guys digging up some crusty old tunes and playing them the only crusty way they know how to. Nothin’ fancy…one take and done. You can practically feel the camaraderie and familiarity these guys have with each other in every note. This Neil Young sounds awful on paper. When I first heard about the premise of him doing old Americana songs recast for Crazy Horse, I though it was gonna be awful…and on some of the tunes here, I was completely right. But the record does have its charms, and it certainly has lots of crunch. On this track, Neil and the Horse ride back into Neil & The Shocking Pinks territory with a cover of The Silhouettes’ doo-wop classic, only this version is rickety, a bit clumsy and totally charming. Some of the tracks work really well…”Clementine,” “Gallows Pole,” “High Flyin’ Bird,” “Travel On” and “Jesus’ Chariot”…while others are completely dreadful…”Oh Susannah,” “Tom Dula,” “This Land Is Your Land,” “Wayfarin’ Stranger” and “God Save The Queen.” Note to Neil: Everything you do isn’t pure genius. Just because the tape is rollin’, doesn’t mean you have to release it. This record would have made a great EP. So, does it pass my Neil test, meaning will I play this album a few months from now? Probably not…there’s only one Young record released in the last decade that I go back to and that’s “Prairie Wind.” Neil needs an editor…but in the meantime, keep on rockin’ and releasin’ the tunes. It gives me something to write about.

Music By The Letter On The 3D RadioActivity

by

As technology has diversified, posted letters have become less important as a routine form of communication; they however still remain but in a modified forms like email.  The development of the telegraph around 1792 shortened the time taken to send a letter by transferring the letter as an electrical signal between distant points, which is sort of what we are doing this time on The Award Winning 3D RadioActivity, sending you two hours of great music about this form of correspondence and more.

Letters can be the collected correspondence of a writer or historically significant person.  It is a written message containing information from one party to another. The role of letters in communication has changed significantly since the nineteenth century. Historically, letters (in paper form) were the only reliable means of communication between two people in different locations.  Letters are still used, particularly by businesses, for official notifications. This is because of three main advantages:  No special device needed – almost everybody has a residence or other place at which he or she can receive mail; “Catch-all” advertising, more commonly known as junk mail; and Physical record – important messages that need to be retained, like invoices which them can can be kept relatively easily and securely.

Music By The Letter On The 3D RadioActivity
Additionally, a letter is part of the system of writing, such as the Greek or Russian alphabet and its descendants. Letters compose phonemes and each one represents a sound in the spoken form of the language.  Letters, as elements, have prescribed orders. This may generally be known though collation is the science devoted to the complex task of sorting of letters and words in different languages.  Here are some great examples  in a musical format.

We will be looking at numbers next time then give and take over the next two weeks for Halloween, sobe sure to let me know by visiting and liking The 3D RadioActivity on Facebook if you have any suggestions for the playlist, or click on my name below to send an email to me!
