    Speaking of country classics, this will always be one of my favorites:

    Spoiler:


    And, you know, I grew up hearing this version my whole life and didn't know until a few nights ago that Willie Nelson originally did the song with Waylon Jennings. (I listened to that version and thought it sucked, to be honest). This was the only Willie Nelson version I could find on youtube.

    "They'd rather give you a song than diamonds and gold" is a pretty fucking awesome line, in my opinion.

    Musicians like Ellington are too often praised but not listened to—many people can tell you that he is a jazz icon, some can name a hit (“Take the ‘A’ Train,” “Satin Doll,” “Mood Indigo,” etc.), but few truly delve into the work. This isn’t just to chastise listeners—I’m guilty of this as well. Hearing scratchy old transfers from 78-rpm discs, it’s hard to tell what’s really happening, or why fans and fellow musicians were so bowled over at the time. Some instruments don’t cut through, nuance is lost, harmonies are clouded.

    Recently, however, a rare recording of “Hot and Bothered” has surfaced, along with a pair of Louis Armstrong tracks. The recording (embedded above) is from October 1, 1928, but it sounds beautifully clear—certainly better than the commonly available versions. (See the bottom of this note for a comparison.)

    The provenance of these new versions is a little foggy. A man named Jonathan Holmes posted them on YouTube, saying they were digitized by his friend Nick Dellow, an audio engineer, who got them from metal “mother records,” which haven’t degraded or been scratched or worn down like the shellac originals. It’s unclear how exactly Dellow got the mother records, how many of them of survive, or whether listeners might be in for a long string of similar delights. Apparently these mother records were sent by Okeh Records, a once-leading (and recently relaunched) jazz label, to Germany for Odeon Records to press versions.

    Here’s a delightful explanation of how mother records work, taken from the November 1918 issue of The Tonearm, a internal monthly magazine published by the Columbia Gramophone Company. (The issue also lauds the war effort and warns against the Spanish Influenza.)

    This master record as already noted is a negative. The record which we play on our machine is a positive, the exact reproduction of the original wax disc, and, of course, must be pressed from a negative. There is no reason why records could not be made from the master record, except that it is much too valuable and would soon be worn out in the press. So from the copper master record there is cast still another, a positive, known as the mother record. Several of these are made from each master record, the material being an alloy of copper and nickel, harder than the master record itself. And from these mother records—positives—are cast the stampers, from which the actual records of commerce are pressed. The stampers, of a still harder metal than the mother records, are negatives. The final record which dispenses sweet music for you at home is, it will be noted, the fifth stage in the process...

    I’m particularly struck by the guitar solo here. The guitar didn’t take much of a starring role in big-band jazz until the 1930s and the rise of the electric guitar; an acoustic instrument just couldn’t cut through the noise of a large swing group. But the guitar solo on “Hot and Bothered,” by the great Lonnie Johnson, comes through crisp and clear.

    Here, for reference, is a recording taken from a standard record:

    The Eurovision Song Contest, the pan-European musical competition known to produce kitschy acts, will air live in the U.S. for the first time ever on Viacom's Logo, the European Broadcasting Union said Monday.

    Logo, which is available in nearly 50 million homes, will show the 61st annual competition's grand final on Saturday, May 14, starting at 3 p.m. ET. It also will stream in the U.S. on LogoTV.com and the LogoTV mobile app.

    This year's contest will be held in Stockholm, after Sweden's Mans Zelmerlow won last year's competition with his song "Heroes," with the semifinals to be held on May 10 and 12 followed by the grand final on May 14. Competing will be the 20 qualifiers from the semis, the Big 5 countries of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K. and reigning champion Sweden.

    “We are thrilled that the world’s biggest entertainment show is being broadcast live in one of the biggest TV markets for the very first time,” Eurovision Song Contest executive supervisor Jon Ola Sand said in a statement. “The Eurovision Song Contest is now a truly global phenomenon, and we are extremely happy that U.S viewers now get to join those all over Europe, Australia and Asia in experiencing the grand final of the world’s longest-running annual TV music competition."

    The contest also will be seen in the 42 participating nations, as well as in China, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Portugal.

    The Eurovision Song Contest reached nearly 200 million television viewers worldwide last year. The 61st edition celebrates the theme “Come Together."

    The contest's voting rules have been changed this year. It will now see votes split, with each country's jury vote cast first. Viewer votes across all countries will be added in later and announced at the end. The idea behind the change is that a song that scored poorly with the judges could still jump should the public really like it. In the past, the winner has often been known long before voting announcements came to a close.

    So.. is this just an "International Idol" thing...I cannot take more Pop music or pretty boys or pre-teen gals.

    What is meant by "kitschy acts?"

    Default Prince Vs. Michael Jackson

    Despite the home made quality of this, it is actually worth watching. It examines and compares the trajectory of both men's music careers up until around the year 1985. It has some very cool archival footage and is informative. We do get the maker's opinions on music throughout (occasionally hilarious) and there are several misspellings on the title cards and the music that accompanies the title cards is annoying but all that aside, it's pretty neat!

    If you haven't heard Dion's New York Is My Home featuring Paul Simon, give it a listen. It's so damn smooth.

    I thought this thread was overdue.

    Perhaps we can start with a discussion of Dylan's recent Nobel prize for Lit.
