"Like many things in Las Vegas, the elements of the Punk Rock Museum that are vulgar, cynical and/or tasteless are fairly easy to spot. So let me say quickly that a lot of the museum is also very cool."

"She shot the The Beatles in 1963 and found them 'very bright and interesting.' Not long after, she captured Bob Dylan, still just in his 20s, and recalls: 'I think I was the only photographer at the gig.' Then, in 1967, there was Jimi Hendrix, who got slightly more than an interview and a shoot. 'He was a very nice, gentle man,' Wilmer remembers. 'I even gave him a lift in my car!'"

I ran a music blog called The Ten Thousand Things from 2005 to 2011. Most days I would post a downloadable mp3 with some pithy info & links to get more official stuff about the music. Holy cow, was it eclectic.

Much of it is still browsable at the Internet Archive.

Screenshot from the music Blog "The Ten Thousand Things" from March 2005 showcasing Les Paul. Text reads in part:

With his 1937 creation of the solid-body electric guitar Les Paul, The Wizard of Waukesha, opened the door leading away from Django Reinhardt and towards Jimi Hendrix and Robert Fripp.  But in 1947 he created this, the first true multitrack recording, which ultimately begat Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lee Perry, and The Bomb Squad.  Much of what we consider music from 1950 forward would have been impossible without this technology.

Although stunts involving re-recording a musician playing alongside a recording of themselves had been tried earlier by Sidney Bechet and others, Les Paul was the first to record parallel tracks on a single piece of tape in order to have control at a later time of the "mix" of these elements.  He also did it all in his home studio, and released these bizarre experiments to great commercial success.
Screenshot from the music Blog "The Ten Thousand Things" from March 2006 showcasing My Life In The Bush of Ghosts. Text reads in part:


BRIAN ENO & DAVID BYRNE: QU'RAN March 31, 2006 On April 11th Nonesuch are releasing a special 25th anniversary edition of My Life In The Bush of Ghosts, the record which changed the course of music by combining found vocals with “world” music influenced musical collages, giving rise to a new genre of sampled music and influencing everyone from Public Enemy to... Moby? The new version contains all of the original tracks remastered, plus seven previously unavailable outtake tracks. Well, almost all of the original tracks... the track featured here, Qu'ran, has not been included on most versions of the record since shortly after it's initial release. A partial explanation for this comes from the enoweb site: The lIslamic Council of Great Britain had approached the record company with a complaint about the use of the “found” material [a ritual chanting of the Holy Koran. Actually, I'm surprised that anyone got permission to even tape it in the first place]; There are some expressions of Islam in which *all* music is considered “haram” [| think that's the Arabic term, anyway] - or against the teachings of the Koran. There is an argument about whether or not Mohammed (pbuh) stated that “music” for use in certain Islamic festivals or special occasions *is* allowable, but that's for folks who know the Surahs better than I.

Screenshot from the music Blog "The Ten Thousand Things" from March 2005 showcasing Carl Orff. Text reads in part:

CARL ORFF: MUSICA POETICA March 7, 2005 Although | had heard quite enough of his Carmina Burana by the time | was thirteen years-old, some of Carl Orff's less flogged-to-death stuff is very ear-worthy. This piece was used to great effect in Terrence Malick's 1973 film Badlands, giving the outlaws-on-the-run flick a mythic quality it might otherwise have lacked. A soundtrack for the film has never been Tue eimsr oiciral mecorpine in released and recordings of this piece were very rare until this RO G "eobHARION CD was released in 1995 commemorating the centennial of PEREORMER S Witd WAB “WOKES b pirth s This is a fragment of a larger work, Schulwerk (literally “school work”), that was written as part of a children’s musical education project that Orff devised. The music is simple because it was meant to be performed by children just learning to play their instruments. This same piece was also, uh, “heavily referenced” (ripped off) by Hans ZImmer for his 1993 score to True Romance. You can get the CD here. 0 COMMENTS

I'm working on a video on the history of music. From the very first percussion instrument to the introduction of western notation and so on and so forth. I'm wondering if there's anyone here who might have access to information to help me confirm some archeological details. Or otherwise has studied music history.

I will credit anyone who helps.

Authors and musicologists Kerry O'Brien and William Robin have written an essential evaluation of the history of minimalist music titled On Minimalism.

The two joined host Lawrence Peryer on the new episode of the Spotlight On podcast to discuss the book, why we should look beyond the big four (Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and La Monte Young), and how the aesthetic strains found in almost all modern music is a sort of victory for minimalism.

This is such a compelling and entertaining conversation … tune in! → https://www.spotlightonpodcast.com/on-minimalism-kerry-obrien-and-william-robin-in-conversation/

Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton (1926--1984) was an American rhythm and blues singer and songwriter. She was the first to record the hit song "Hound Dog" in 1952. A twelve-bar blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller was Thornton's only hit record, selling over 500,000 copies, spending 14 weeks in the R&B charts, including seven weeks at number one.

I love how this unknown museum curator was somehow able to organize a bunch of old wind instruments into such a visually stunning display.

#flute #oboe #recorder

A collection of approximately 50 flutes, recorders, and a few oboes and other small and unidentified reed instruments - perhaps early clarinets - from various historical eras, with the flutes all arranged horizontally, and the recorders and oboes vertically. The entire collection is behind a glass display case, and the overall layout produces a wonderfully pleasing visual effect. 

From the musical instrument collection at the Horniman Museum in Forest Hill, South London. https://www.horniman.ac.uk/

At a time when punk rock was new, Queen suddenly epitomised everything about the old rock aristocracy that the critics now held in contempt... so they released their most popular album yet

The great Otis Redding was born on this day September 9, 1941. In 1967, he performed with many other acts in a momentous music festival that would shape future music festivals. It was stated by many, that his amazing performance at the festival had the loudest crowd reaction by far. Sadly, only a few months later he would die in a plane crash.

Can you guess where this music festival took place?

So, old school pianists are like THIS, but modern school pianists are like THIS, right? Ha ha!

Maybe you had to be there.

1847 caricature cartoon showing the "old school" and "modern school" of pianists.

By "Picheta", (Gabriel V. Gaona), published in periodical "Don Bullebulle" Mérida, Yucatán, via Biblioteca Virtual de Yucatán

#Picheta #cartoon #1840s #pianists #Yucatán #MusicHistory

19th century engraving, black ink on aged yellowed & spotted paper. 
Text "PIANISTAS - Escuela Antigua  - Escuela Moderna". 

Shows two caricatured thin-waisted men playing piano keyboards with sheet music. 

The "old school" pianist is bent low over the keyboard with his hands resting on the keys; the "modern school" pianist leans far back with his hands moving high above the keyboard. He wears 1840s fashionable long sideburns.
