lovehatethings goes live for the first time ever at the Imperial Pub in downtown Toronto with some storied exploits of your humble content creator as a musician... and I wrap it all up with a song.
The second Tuesday of each month is live podcast night in the back room, on stage, with fun and merriment a-plenty. All are welcome.
Klaus Schulze, who WAY BACK was with Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, has been a solo performer for decades. The following two clips show you what kind of differences and similarities over 30 years of evolution makes. You'll probably find the clips similar on a surface listen, but listen to tonal quality and the style of layering employed.
I would expect you to listen to 30 minutes' worth of the two clips, but by jumping around you should be able to see and hear some real differences in technology and real similarities in style even with the new tools.
I just remembered how great this song is. Gabriel certainly wrote songs that spanned the gamut of styles from Sledgehammer to Biko to Moribund the Burgermeister. While I always loved his work with Genesis, and I enjoyed his solo work, I never obsessed over buying the "new" disc while growing up.
I got "turned on" to this song from, of all places, the film Angus, which included a sentimental scene that this song rose above. Gabriel has the perfect voice for this and I hope you like it too. Don't expect any hard rocking here... very mellow.
I'm going autobiographical on one of the most embarrassing, yet most genuinely enjoyable aspects of my life. I don't expect people to understand, but maybe it's something that everyone can relate to - at least on some level.
Ween's diversity is amazing, and if you haven't heard any of their original stuff, I'd definitely recommend the "Chocolate and Cheese" and "Pure Guava" CDs. As this happens to be an absolutely wicked cover that sounds nothing like most of the rest of their stuff, I thought some people would find this an interesting bridge between a band you're probably very familiar with and one - not so much.
