Lee Scratch Perry's Visions of Paradise

I have this personal website compartmentalized because I realize that not every one of my friends is interested in exactly the same set of things that I am. And that’s not only “OK”, it’s beautiful.

However, I think everyone should love Lee “Scratch” Perry. If you’re not familiar with this brilliant artist, I suggest you get familiar with Google.

And I also suggest starting with this off-beat documentary: Lee Scratch Perry's Vision of Paradise | True Godfather of Reggae.

Amiina Live On Icelandic TV

I don’t know a thing about this performance. Not a year. Not the setlist.

But, gosh-dang if it ain’t pretty and well worth a half hour of your time. “Seoul” (the first song) is one of my favorite songs and surely the prettiest song featuring song and desk bells you’ve ever heard, right?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Live At Sojus (1998)

This music blog is a hobby. I do it because I enjoy sharing music. I’ve mentioned several times how much tape trading through the mail played an important role in my musical development. I’ve shared lots of live concerts that I was first exposed to during my tape-trading days.

Today we return to those roots and feature a show by Godspeed! You Black Emperor. 12.17.98. Live at Sojus, Monheim, Germany. This remains one of the most pristine live recordings I have come across. I don’t tape trade any more but this one always holds a special place in my memory. I vividly remember putting this on and writing a paper (with headphones on) in one of the seminary lobbies where I used to study.

I have also shared my personal giddiness every time one of these personally-memorable shows is already available online so that I don’t have to upload, label, and all that crap. This is one of my favorites.

Oh, and feel free to skip the “Intro.” Otherwise, Enjoy.

Setlist:

1. Intro

2. The Dead Flag Blues

3. Moya

4. World Police And Friendly Fire

5. She Dreamt She Was A Bulldozer, She Dreamt She Was Alone In An Empty Field -> String Loop Manufactured During Downpour”

Medeski Martin and Wood with DJ Logic Live: Sessions At West 54th

I still have this show on VHS.

I don’t have a VHS player.

Technically this doesn’t fall in the “I had this show via tape trading” category that a lot of things I post. I recorded this on to VHS directly from my faithful local PBS station. I remember watching it.

I don’t know if you remember, but Sessions at West 54th was a New York variation of Austin City Limits. Originally hosted by KCRW’s Chris Douridas, David Byrne took over hosting duties beginning of the second season while John Hiatt hosted the third season. Yes, PBS is that cool.

Enjoy:

I never took the time to write down a setlist but the Wikipedia blurb for this episode of the show (Season Two Episode 06 originally aired 08/14/98) lists:

• Wiggly's Way

• Coconut Boogaloo

• Latin Shuffle

Enjoy.

Fela Kuti "Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense"

Fela’s website says this is what was happening in 1984:

“On 4 September, as Fela is about to board a plane from Lagos to New York to start a US tour, he is arrested on charges of currency smuggling. The Afrika 70 musicians board the plane, believing Fela will be allowed to follow on a later flight. Instead, Fela is held pending trial.”

“The band plays a few US gigs then, with no sign of Fela, returns to Nigeria. In court, Fela explains that he declared the £1,600 found on him on a Customs Declaration form, but – to widespread disbelief - the police say that this has been “lost.” Customs officials who offer to testify that Fela is telling the truth are held in detention and so are unable to appear in court. Fela is sentenced to five years. First held in Kiri-Kiri Prison in Lagos, he is then moved to one further away, in Maiduguiri in the north of the country. Femi and Egypt 80 continue to perform at the Shrine.”

Soul Coughing (1996 Houston)

As I’ve mentioned before, one of the things I like doing here at Ye Olde Music Blogge is to post concerts that I first came across when I used to do a lot of tape trading. Yes, through the mail. People would make copies of concerts and trade them and mail them across the world. It was glorious and probably still goes on. I never had many Soul Coughing shows but I did have a cassette copy of this 11.01.97 show from the Urban Art Bar in Houston, TX.

I just realized the other day that there is also video for the show. So, I says to myself: “Self: why not go ahead and post that video for the fine folks who happen by Ye Olde Music Blogge?” And, well, danged if you didn’t know; that’s exactly what I did.

Enjoy.
