Music EN ↓ 506 episodes

My Fellow Americans, Life is actually just a microscopic, deluded moment in time, so let's cut to the freakin' chase. One look at our impending election debacle can solidify my case. It has been my contention since birth, that the answer to every difficulty we encounter on this sacred yet demented Stone, can be revealed with ultimate clarity through the ultra neurotic engagements of Music, Art, Literature, Film, Poetry and a good Pastrami sandwich. Why would any sane human spend so must time on a film set (Do you know how long you gotta wait until your 8 second deliverance of an edited beyond...

"WAVING LIKE NEW" LOOK SHARP! by Joe Jackson (A&M, 1979) In the late 70’s the Punk movement had begun to dissipate, and the emerging Angry Young musicians were engaging more style and sly humor. Similar to his contemporaries Elvis Costello and Graham Parker - both of whom I adored - Joe married inchoate rage with intelligence and taste, and his early albums were irresistible. Look S...

"CAPTAIN BILLY’S MAGIC 8 BALL" -MAYNARD FERGUSON- "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA?" FEATURING THE ALBUM "CHAMELEON " BY MAYNARD FERGUSON IN HIGH DEFINITION WITH THE CAPTAIN'S NARRATIVE -EPISODE # 70 -THE CAPTAIN EXPLORES HIS COVE OF 8 TRACKS TREASURES FOR INSIGHT AN 18.09.2022 42:40

WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? "CHAMELEON" by Maynard Ferguson (Columbia, 1974) I admit that I’m woefully unequipped to discuss Big Band music, or any Jazz for that matter, in great detail. Although, throughout my life I’ve developed a passion for the odd jazz master here and there, and as a matter of personal pride I’ve always strived to be conversant in the subject, at the very least. However,...

BILL MESNIK PRESENTS: "CAPTAIN BILLY’S MAGIC 8 BALL" -THE SEEDS - "GERMINATING IN THE SOIL" FEATURING THE ALBUM "WEB OF SOUND" IN HIGH DEFINITION WITH THE CAPTAIN'S NARRATIVE -EPISODE # 70 -THE CAPTAIN EXPLORES HIS COVE OF 8 TRACKS TREASURES FOR INSIGHT 11.09.2022 41:06

"GERMINATING IN THE SOIL" THE WEB OF SOUND by The Seeds (GNP Crescendo, 1966) 1966 was probably the high water mark year for Garage Rock: There was Gloria by Shadows of Knight; Psychotic Reaction by Count V; Talk Talk by the Music Machine; We Ain’t Got Nothin’ Yet by The Blues Magoos, and the Eldorado of the genre: 96 Tears by ? And the Mysterians - just imagine all that Fuzz -Farfisa ri...

"SEX AS SPIRIT" LET’S GET IT ON by Marvin Gaye (Tamla, 1973) In the 1950’s, Americans with seduction on their minds put Jackie Gleason’s records on the hi-fi; in the 70’s it had to be the late, great Marvin Gaye. Speaking from personal experience, making love to Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On was a free passage to a timeless paradise of spiritual transcendence. The luscious, multi-layered...
