Re: Muxtape
Truly beautiful mux Dharma. Wonderful organic cohesion. I’ll suscribe to your tapes anytime.
Interseting to see Bruce Cockburn in there. I too have come back to him recently, after having kept him collecting dust on the shelf for a long time.
Thanks

bruce cockburn is barely known here in the uk, which is a crime methinks, but hopefully with artists like kd lang covering his songs more people will begin to discover his music

Re: Muxtapes
I like this idea, Simon. Re. your mix: Lightning posted Georges Brassens Il n y a pas D'amour Hereux on here recently (including translation for those of us who are linguistically challenged). I thought it was really lovely, and fine it is to hear another version. That one, Aaron, Salif Keita, and The Delegates are my faves of yours, but I enjoyed them all. (Snake in the Garden you could also post in movie quote thread, or in our Welsh walking weekend one.)
Here's mine:
http://bennubird.muxtape.com/
My first was chosen to reflect the main theme of the forum right now (and it's a great song anyway). The second because I wanted to celebrate late wonderful Freddie Mercury after booking my Queen tickets yesterday. For the rest it was very difficult to narrow it down. There's no coherence from one track to the next .
(I couldn't load the Marillion track I wanted, as it was almost 20MB, although did manage to load another one of almost 15MB, despite the instruction that the limit is 10MB.)
A marvellously self-indulgent exercise!
I'll listen to Dharma's now.
Nobody else going to do a tape? It would enable other members to figure out if they ever wanted to take a car ride with you.

Re: Muxtapes
Here's mine.
It's a little bit folky, but so am I. I included one religious song-not because I'm trying to convert/influence anyone-but it reflects the choir sound that I sing in regularly.
There were a number of more "upbeat" songs that I wanted to include but they weren't in Mp3 format.
http://www.badgerpepe.muxtape.com/
I would just like to highlight the first track from John Stewart-"Clack, Clack/The Oldest Living Son." This is from John's album called "The Last Campaign"-about the Campaign of 1968 when John rode the train with Robert Kennedy through South Dakota in the primaries and then sadly rode the funeral train from Washington to New York after his assassination. John, himself died recently and was included in the collage of those deceased music industry people that was shown at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony. John Stewart was the replacement for Dave Guard in the Kingston Trio. The first album that ever really got me excited about music was the Kingston Trio album that was John's first, "Close Up." I was still a youngster playing little league baseball and I would come home and listen to it with my head leaning against the hi-fi player.
A couple of years later, my father died in August of 1963. He had purchased just about every Kingston Trio album for me by that time because he liked them too. We had purchased, "Something Else" during the vacation trip in which he died and it featured the new Bob Dylan song, "Blowin' in the Wind." Martin Luther King would give his, "I Have A Dream" speech on the day of my father's funeral and several months later, President Kennedy would be assassinated in November 1963. My father's death, President Kennedy's death, and the subsequent deaths of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy would always be interwoven in my psyche. In 1969, my older brother would go to Viet Nam as an infantryman. This song is as close as anything I've ever heard which can capture the peculiar nature of all these emotions that I have about this time.
Joe
P. S. I would ride in everybody's car so far.

Re: Muxtapes
great compilation, joe
my father had a few kingston trio 45s - tom dooley, worried man, greenback dollar, etc - so i grew up hearing those records. in the late 70s i bought john stewart's bombs away dream babies album from which gold was a hit single, but after that he disappeared off the radar for me. i didn't know he died recently.
i'm gonna seek out his california bloodlines album...

Re: Muxtapes
Just had your tape on, Dharma - how very relaxing - each and every song - and suitable for this lovely Spring day, thank you!
Hi Joe. I confess yours wasn't so much my cup of tea, but I did enjoy some of them, and especially the John Stewart one and thanks for the commentary about why it's special for you. I too am a Christy Moore fan, and had to add one of his to my mix. Also have added my favourite LC cover - Ballad of a Runaway Horse by Emmylou Harris which I heard for the first time only a month or so ago, thanks to Laurie.
For me, this exercise is more fruitful in terms of getting a feel for people, than reading hundreds of their posts.
Cheers,
Diane, hoping Joe would still allow me in hs car.

Re: Muxtapes
Dharma, do check out California Bloodlines, a near perfect album and John Stewart's very best work (with the possible exception of the song "Daydream Believer" which was one of John's compositions).I was sorry to read of John's recent death.
Joe, interesting to see the Phil Ochs track . PO seems chiefly to be remembered as a protest singer but it's often forgotten he wrote some gorgeous ballads all tinged with melancholy - besides "Pleasures of the Harbour" I love "the Scorpion departs but never returns"; Rehearsals for retirement; and "Jim Dean of Indiana".

Re: Muxtapes
Hi all,
I've changed my muxtape to reflect a little more John Stewart via covers by Nanci Griffith and Bill Staines plus one of my favorites of his-"Dreamers On The Rise." I also added Brandi Carlisle since I figured that I had enough old dead guys and needed to actually have someone who was on the way up in the music business.
I am still enthused about all the music that you folks have shared. I listened all day at work today with people coming in and asking what that racket was all about (at least there wasn't a lot of dope smoking music in anyone's mix).
Dharma, there is a lot of John Stewart stuff out there that is not well known. The "Bombs Away Dream Babies" (the name is courtesy of Dave Guard) was certainly his only commercial hit, but he passed out tapes at most of his concerts of many experimental works. It is not very well known but when he left the Kingston Trio, he and John Denver were going to form a duo but John Stewart didn't think that John Denver was commercial enough (probably a bad decision in retrospect). It was at this time that Stewart wrote, "Daydream Believers" and Denver wrote, "Leaving On A Jet Plane."
Bartleby, I love the non-protest stuff best from Phil Ochs. His songs like, "A Boy In Ohio," "Changes," & "Jim Dean of Indiana" are in my mind his strongest work. I also love the poems like "The Bells" and "The Highwayman" that he set to music. It is certainly a shame that his reputation as a protest singer precludes his reputation as a great songwriter. Our friend, Lightning here on the forum, knew him.
Diane, I am glad that you listened to my selections, but it doesn't surprise me that they aren't your favorites. I am determined to keep working on you until folky, trained voice, religious music is your very fave! Until that time, please feel free to share the great music that you are listening to with me-I really like it! And you can ride in my car anytime-though I would probably drive on the wrong side of the road.

Re: Muxtapes
My tape has gone rather jazz vocal all of the sudden. I have those streaks... Tonight is one of those nights.
Its really great to listen to your tapes. Feels like walking into your living room.
Joe, If I where to ride the car with Diane, I'd take her up the Alaska Highway to dig some gold in a Yukon fresh water brook. So I guess I ought to start working on a pretty damn good roadtrip mux.
Some great music is being left out for the moment since Muxtape doesn't take mp4. The wizard of mux behind it say he's working on it.

Re: Muxtapes
Sorry if this post keeps breaking up, but I am typing it whilst crossing the Atlantic.
That's kind of you to say you really like my tape, Joe. I have listened to your updated one. I enjoyed that more! I am intrigued by that treatment of Yeats' poem. You are welcome to work on me in the hope of conversion. Of course we can't all like everything and vive les differences, but I have been switched on to a lot of new music from being on this forum. And there is no wrong side of the road.
When I heard your Daniel Lanois song, Simon, I wanted to add The Maker, sung by Willie Nelson on Teatro, and just spent half an hour fruitlessly looking for it. Damn! I'm not sure whether I'll be able to create a new muxtape tonight, because I keep dropping my oars in the water.

Re: Muxtapes
Ok, I've adjusted my muxtape
http://www.badgerpepe.muxtape.com
I love Arlo's voice-both solo and in harmony so it is great that I can feature two songs here with him in that role.
I just downloaded a bunch of Broadway songs from my cd, "Ultimate Broadway" but they aren't in Mp3 form so you are safe for now.
Dharma, your last mix is so nostalgic-these were the songs of my youth. I can especially remember Nilson's ""Everybody's Talkin'" from both "Midnight Cowboy" and also some mix super 8 tape that a high school friend of mine played as we zipped through the back roads of Wisconsin-(there was an oar dipped in somewhere). This all took place somewhere around the time that I played "The Old Revolution" to an audience of about two in the Maple forest woods of Wisconsin with a couple of very pretty girls ignoring me. They still do-even my beloved, Anne, does these days.
Simon, if you can get Diane up to Alaska-I promise to join you there-as Anne and I have discussed this trip forever. My grandfather was a driver in the first group of trucks that made the trip up the Al-Can highway.
Diane, your new mix is even better-say a couple of "Our Fathers" and "Hail Mary's" and maybe mine will improve, too.
Love,
Joe

Re: Muxtapes
Improve? Joe, I am just a few songs into your new tape, and it is lovely. Thought I'd mention it now, as I may not get to the end of it before I need to leave the computer. You are upping the ante. I'll be back.
ps No rush to convert Ultimate Broadway to mp3
.
pps I made it to the end. I had no idea Lost Him in the Sun was Nancy Griffiths. I hope you realise Muxtape may excommunicate you for loading multiple tracks from Christy Moore. But I sure won't be the one to tell on you.
