NPR Gets Spiritualized (2012)

Screen Shot 2020-06-04 at 7.17.57 AM.png

Thanks to a friend with a great name (Brent. His name is Brent. Actually, you might know him from his previous recommendations here at Holiday at the Sea: An Hour With Pink Floyd), for posting this fantastic 2012 Spiritualized concert from the 9:30 Club in Washington DC. on May 10, 2012.

I don’t know that I really need to say much more other than enjoy.

Setlist:

  • "Hey Jane"

  • "Lord Let It Rain On Me"

  • "Headin' for the Top Now"

  • "Walkin' with Jesus"

  • "Oh Baby"

  • "Rated X"

  • "Born Never Asked"

  • "Electric Mainline"

  • "Soul on Fire"

  • "I Am What I Am" *

  • "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space" *

  • "Mary"

  • "Stay with Me" *

  • "So Long You Pretty Thing" *

  • "She Kissed Me (And It Felt Like a Hit)" *

  • "Come Together" *

  • "Cop Shoot Cop"

NPR’s original page adds the following commentary:

“Pierce almost died twice in the last seven years, once from double-pneumonia and once from degenerative liver disease which necessitated chemotherapy. He recorded Spiritualized's remarkable new record, Sweet Heart Sweet Light, while recovering from the latter, and its songs don't hesitate to leer into the abyss. Even as they swagger and seethe, they document a frail and flawed man's circuitous journey through self-inflicted agonies and righteous redemption, and back around to agony.

That said, a Spiritualized concert is the stuff of big-hearted, spaced-out, bliss-packed joy and celebration. Sweet Heart Sweet Light overtly pursues salvation through divine intervention — it doesn't take a careful parsing of lyrics to figure that out — so it's appropriate that Spiritualized in concert can convey the spirit of a revival show.”

Faran Ensemble Live

ea1dfae027be7268f871ba737da9412b_400x400.jpeg

Israel’s Faran Ensemble live “Mezrab recording from 2015-04-22.”

I first heard Faran Ensemble while looking for music for the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow and their track “Reflection” appeared on Episode 03.

I couldn’t find a setlist for this show but there was some commentary on the video’s page which is included below.

Enjoy.

“The Faran Ensemble was formed in 2009 by three musicians sharing similar musical vibes and values, who decided to embark together on a spiritual quest. Their journey, expressed in music and sound, reflects the beauty of nature, travelling through different sceneries, from the clean and quiet desert to luscious green hills, sometimes even passing through the hectic noise of the city.

Their instruments belong to the ancient traditions of the east, allowing the musicians to combine mystical sounds with modern influences. In their music, Mediterranean landscapes weave an enchanted soundscape, a magic carpet to take the listener on a voyage to faraway lands.

The ensemble’s name, Faran, refers to Wadi Faran, a dry desert riverbed which in winter fills with water and life and in summer is silent and pristine. The Faran crosses three countries, but ignores all artificial human borders.”

The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band

Screen Shot 2020-06-13 at 2.29.09 PM.png

So much to tell you about here.

Music-loving, like life, is a journey of learning and exploration. I recently posted a live session by Sarathy Korwar and friends for a site called The Boiler Room. I featured Korwar’s track “"Bismillah" from his 2016 album Day To Day on Episode 08 of The Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow.

I had not heard of The Boiler Room before this but I have since become quite enamored. Their Facebook “About” section says:

“Boiler Room televises underground music as it happens from around the world to a massive online community. By doing so, we create windows into scenes and sounds from every corner of the globe, connecting millions of music heads with the specific music they love. This communal participation has redrawn the map for underground culture and proven that mass audiences now subscribe to alternative choice.”

And that’s a vision I can get behind.

I recently came across a 2016 live set from The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band. I featured the band’s Thai band’s song "Lai Wua (Chasing the Cow)" from their 2016 album Planet Lam on Episode 11 of The Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow.

There is a link on the video’s Youtube page that says: “TRACKLIST & DOWNLOAD HERE” but the link doesn’t go to anything and the video’s page at the Boiler Room page doesn’t include a setlist so if you have that information it would be greatly appreciated. Though not knowing the song titles (or words for that matter) doesn’t inhibit the global choogle.

Eishan Ensemble Live For Phoenix Central Park

Eishan Ensemble’s Afternoon Tea At Six has been one of my favorite albums 0f 2020. In fact, I recently featured the track “Signs” on my Apothecary of Wonders playlist.

The group’s official website says:

“Led by acclaimed Persian-Australian tar player and composer, Hamed Sadeghi, the quintet Eishan Ensemble draws on contemporary and classical music traditions of both East and West. Eishan’s repertoire consists predominantly of Sadeghi’s original compositions with diverse improvisatory idioms featured powerfully. Variously described as “Persian chamber jazz” and “Middle-Eastern jazz fusion”, Eishan defies neat labels.”

Here is a three-song live set they did earlier this year for Phoenix Central Park.

The deets:

Eishan Ensemble:

  • Hamed Sadeghi | Tar

  • Pedram Layegh | Acoustic guitar

  • Michael Avgenicos | Saxophone

Stevie Wonder live for Musikladen/Beat Club (1974)

Screen Shot 2020-06-11 at 6.07.26 PM.png

Get down with Stevie Wonder live on the German television program Musikladen/Beat Club in 1974.

The Youtube page provides the following information:

“Stevie Wonder 1974 concert on German TV show Musikladen/Beat Club.

I recorded from the European TV channel VH1 in 2003. I wish this would be released on DVD! If someone can help me identify the musicians, it would be great. One of the ladies, Afro and a polo shirt, singing backing vocals is Denice Williams. She was part of Wonder's female background singing group Wonderlove. I think this is the partial lineup, based on what Stevie says at 23.15: Reggie McBride plays bass. Michael "Mike" Sembello on guitar and keys, Ollie E. Brown on drums.”

Zakir Hussain & Rakesh Chaurasia at ICE Kraków 08.07.2015

Screen Shot 2020-06-01 at 1.55.30 PM.png

Thanks to my friend Alex for the tip on this 2015 live set featuring Zakir Hussain on tabla, percussion instruments and Rakesh Chaurasia playing bansouri.

The video’s page gives the following info:

“ZAKIR HUSSAIN is undoubtedly one of the greatest legends of world music, virtuoso of the tabla, and artist who tours and records with many other acclaimed musicians, including those form the world of jazz. His father was the famous musician Ustad Alla Rakha. Thanks to his father, Zakir learned to play musical instruments from his youngest days. He started performing as a teenager, and when he was 19 years old, he travelled to the US for the first time, appearing alongside Ravi Shankar. Audiences remember Hussain’s acclaimed albums, especially “Making Music” recorded for the famous ECM label. It is regarded as one of the finest musical fusions of the East and the West. Hussain was accompanied by John McLaughlin, Jan Garbarek and the legendary Hariprasad Chaurasia – uncle of Rakesh, who joins Hussain in Kraków. Hussain has worked with McLaughlin many times, for example when creating recordings with his groups Shakti and Remember Shakti. He also worked alongside Bill Laswell, leading the group Tabla Beat Science bringing together acclaimed tablists and percussionists. He has also co-created the outstanding projects Planete Drum and Global Drum, and worked with some of the greatest musicians of all time, from George Harrison and Van Morrison to Pharoah Sanders and Charles Lloyd. He is a living legend himself.

RAKESH CHAURASIA is more than just a nephew of Hariprasad Chaurasia – he is also one of his most talented pupils. He plays the bansouri, a traditional South Asian bamboo flute. He has worked with musicians including Talvin Singh, participated in recording dozens of albums, and he leads the RAF ensemble – Rakesh and Friends. Recorded at ICE Kraków 08.07.2015.”

Southern Jukebox Music Presents Bitchin Bajas (02.14.18)

info_bitchinbajas_byjeremiahchiu_01.jpg

Being a music fan is highly a subjective thing. We all have different preferences and that includes band names. I don’t care how good you tell me they are, I just can’t see myself listening to a whole of Diarrhea Planet. Or Radical Face while I’m thinking of it. But, then again, everything is subjective and subject to change, right?

Despite years of reading such enticing descriptions as “expansive, looping, shifting synths and rhythms” and even despite their ties to Holiday at the Sea favorite Natural Information Society, I resisted the music of Bithin Bajas because of their name.

But the good folks over at Southern Jukebox Music remind us of why sometimes it’s worth looking past the name. Bitchin Bajas “is a band operated as a side-project by Cooper Crain, who is also guitarist/organist of the band Cave. The other members are Dan Quinlivan and Rob Frye.” Southern Jukebox Music is the project of Matt Beachey who records live performances on a Realistic TR-3000 reel-to-reel. Yes, he lugs that thing to and from shows. Why? He says:

I choose to record shows this way because (a: I just dig the sound of almost anything on tape, and I still haven't found a satisfactory substitute, and (b: I find that sometimes setting up a weird, clunky process of recording invites unique performances out of people. Digital recording has done wonders in democratizing the art of on-the-fly live recording; still, I think there’s something worth keeping around about the way sound waves cling to the iron grains of magnetic tape, and then play back a little jumbled up—a slightly impressionistic version of whatever was recorded. And I guess maybe I feel a sort of kinship with bootleggers of yore who hauled their reels to Grateful Dead shows, putting in the extra effort to make a lasting record of the night, albeit a colored and faded one. Sometimes a grimy record of the past better suits your memory anyway.

Whatever the reasons, we’re glad he does it and happy to support on Bandcamp where any proceeds will go to the artist. We first featured a selection from Southern Jukebox Music in August 2019 with Chris Forsyth and the Broken Mirrors Motel Band’s 07.11.19 performance. Today we feature Bitchin Bajas “Live at the 7th Street Entry.”

The Deets:

  • Live at the 7th Street Entry. Any proceeds will go to the artist.

  • Released June 15, 2018.

  • Composed and performed by Bitchin Bajas, recorded and mixed by Matt Beachey

Phil Cook and Oliver Wood Cover John Prine In Quarantine

Screen Shot 2020-05-19 at 11.53.53 AM.png

The other day Phil Cook posted to his Instagram page:

That’s The Way The World Goes Round by John Prine

I got a text from Oliver Wood over a year ago wanting to get together and spend a day with him in Nashville writing music. I was nervous and excited as Oliver was one of my favorite songwriters and singers around. We hit it off famously and have gotten together more since then. We were supposed to spend a week together in April but those plans got shut down by the pandemic. So we found something else to work on together. Today we lovingly and humbly dedicate our version of John Prine’s “That’s The Way The World Goes Round” to Fiona , Jody, Tommy and Jack. Long Live John Prine!”

Oliver Wood commented:

Excited about collaborating with my musical soulmate Phil Cook He took my plain rendition of a John Prine classic and made it a party. Here’s to many more parties and collaborations Phil! And Much love to the Prine family.

Naan Violent Treefort

CrHmhqFVUAAzCvn.jpg

In case you missed it, I posted two tracks from Atlanta’s Naan Violence in September, 2019. I also posted one of their songs in The Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow, the global-music, Xenophobia-fighting weekly music podcast I did for a year.

From Episode 14 of The Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow:

“We first heard Naan Violence when this track was posted by our friends over at Aquarium Drunkard. The group's label, ZAP Cassettes describes them as: "a freak-in transcendental free-sitar underground super-group from Memphis, Tennessee, the home of Isaac Hayes. Lilypadinman.com says: "Fronted by sitar player Arjun Kulharya, Naan Violence creates dreamy, mirage-like sitar music that evokes the mystery of an endless expanse of desert sand. It’s traditional sitar music re-invented for a barroom audience." Aquarium Drunkard describes the music as: "Layered with analog synthesizers, acoustic guitars, flute and tabla, Naan Violence’s expansive palette of sound feels at once organic and untethered." However you'd like to describe the music, we dig it and we think you might too.”

Here is Naan Violence “on Radio Boise's Global Grooves as part of their Treefort 2018 in-studios.

Aquarium Drunkard calls it “Transcendental free sitar music” and that seems just about right.

Oki Ainu Dub Band

1_3jhfbe44an7umt7fxawly.jpg

Oki Kano (加納 沖, Kanō Oki) was born in Hokkaido, to a Japanese mother and an Ainu father (renowned wood sculptor Bikki Sunazawa) and grew up in Kanagawa Prefecture. After graduating in crafts at the Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music, he moved to New York in 1987, where he worked as special effects artist on film productions. He returned to Japan in 1992, and was presented with his first tonkori - the traditional stringed instrument of the Karafuto Ainu.

Oki uses the tonkori, an Ainu stringed instrument, in his performances and mixes traditional Ainu music with reggae, dub and other styles of world music. He also plays guitar and traditional Ainu percussion instruments.

Dive in to the band’s music.

First up is “Suma Mukar”:

Next is the title track from the Sakhalin Rock album Sakhalin Rock.

And here is a live performance

Doug Burr Celebrates On Promenade With Trouble

One of the “good” things to come out of Quarantine 2020 is that a lot of musical artists are having impromptu live sessions and releasing lots of nuggets from their own vaults.
