Jethro Tull - Bungle in the Jungle
Since posting in the Gella and Winston Wolfe apartment topic yesterday, I’ve had this song in my head. It could have been a lot worse

Where I was tonight:
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
First concert of the WILD GOD tour in Oberhausen ,Germany
I only filmed this small clip from Jubilee Street to capture the atmosphere, I don’t attend a concert only to watch the show on a tiny cellphone screen. Also there’s already videos of the concert popping up on youtube.
It was, once more, a great concert. What was the besg song I heard today? Can’t decide, there were so many. So here’s the title track of the new album for you, which I really llike.
p.s. Oops, I didn’t want to make that a 50+ mb file for just one minute. Didn’t notice that on uploading. I used a set of settings where, as it seems, the image quality of the source file has a big effect on the size of output file. You learn something new every day.

Happy Birthday to one of my all-time favourites Bryan Ferry, who is turning 79 today! He’s been with me since the early Roxy Music albums from the first part of the 1970’s. Their first five albums are to me still one of the best album runs ever.
I’d like to celebrate Bryan Ferry with a song for Europe called…well, A Song For Europe. Happy Birthday to Bryan Ferry

El Paso is one of the greatest country songs ever written, with lyrics that in itself is almost a movie script. The song was written and sung by Marty Robbins, and became his signature song, and a staple in the history of country music. Today it’s 99 years since Marty Robbins (d. 1982) was born

I want to celebrate the memory of Cliff Burton, the bass player on Metallica’s first three albums. He was a very talented musician, who died in a tragic car accident in Sweden 38 years ago today. He was only 24 years old. To Cliff Burton

Here’s a tribute to Kris Kristofferson, who passed away two days ago at the age of 88. He’s really one of the greats, a truly legendary songwriter, with songs like Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through the Night and Sunday Morning Coming Down to his name. I can’t think of much more to say at the moment, except thank you for the songs Kris, you will be rememberd!
Kris Kristofferson - To Beat the Devil (live 1989)
Back in the latter part of June this year, I made a post for Kris Kristofferson’s 88th birthday. And here we are, a little more than three months later.

Thank you Grumpy for these memories. On UK TV this morning it was mentioned that he landed a helicopter (Yes he was an Helicopter Pilot) on a certain lawn belonging to Johnny Cash. As Kris left the cockpit in his cowboy boots he held a demo tape so Johnny Cash could listen to his music. RIP Kris

Yes, there’s so many memories with these songs. I came to think of The Highwaymen now, probably the most super supergroup ever. The only one still with us is Willie Nelson. At 91 he’s got a new record coming at November 1. The title track was released as a single in mid August. In light of Kris Kristofferson’s passing, this song got an even deeper meaning now.

Udo Juergens would have had his 90th birthday today.
He sold millions of records, was from Austria, and the first Austrian to win the Eurovision song contest in 1966. (Grand Prix de l’Eurovision de la Chanson at the time).
He loved the ladies and had kids outside his marriage, and said he doesn’t regret anything.
He sang in different languages, mostly german.
He passed away in 2014
One of his best songs amongst many, that I like most:
Udo Jürgens - Merci Chérie

This one is for my wife, who passed away some 2 months ago. I’m a little melancholic over it today, and I know I posted the song from Simply Red in a previous post.
This is the original by the Stylistics.

Wow, I remember seeing that movie too back in the day. Great movie! And just like you, his music came a little later for me. Except for one song, but then sung by a certain lady sometimes called Pearl.

I’m not a regular in this topic simply because most of popular music is pretty much interchangeable to me. Around '96-'98, at age 20, I discovered 3 musicians of whom I became a really big fan, and that seems to be enough for me. No one else ever managed to ascent into their ranks.
So let me preach to you the Gospel According to Nick Cave. Because I’ve been having a wonderful week, having been to two of his concerts, both times in the very front rows of the floor, and I need to vent some enthusiasm. I’ll try to keep it short and only show you two things now.
First is the song that got me hooked. Back in '97 I sometimes had the radio on late at night, falling asleep to it. On night, in between the rock/pop mush of the radio came this song and I was suddenly wide awake, hoping for the radio guy to tell me the name of this artist. He did. And the next weekend I bought my first album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. You may know this from the radio, and your first reflex might be to consider this mawkish (?), try to shove that away for the moment. The writing is simply beautiful and the sound is so rich, yet so simple. Just add a bass guitar to the piano and that’s all you need. And the whole album “The Boatman’s Call” is like that, musically held back, warm, and beautifully written. Only later would I learn that the Bad Seeds are also very much capable to blow the roof of a concert hall. But what got me hooked first is Nick Cave’s wonderful writing.
And then here’s one of my favorite Nick Cave things these days, which isn’t actually performed by Nick Cave. The Mercy Seat is an earlier, iconic Bad Seeds song and a concert favorite. The song of a death row inmate waiting for his execution on the electric chair. Here it is covered by the great old Johnny Cash, in the American Recordings era, similar to Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt”. This song and Johnny Cash are a perfect match. And it gets even better, some guy on youtube made a brilliant video to this, starring James Gagney as the condemned. I’m a movie guy and I just love that old Film Noir imagery. There’s just so many good things coming together here to form the perfect storm.
Edit: Dammit, why doesn’t it display the thumbnail?
