Best Band Photo Of All Time: Turds of Misery « Weather Station 1

Barry and I used to have a mini-competition on who could come up with the best band name a la Spinal Tap. His stand by was always “Perforated Beef Jerky”. I think these guys one. And they get bonus pints for actually going through with it. No devil sign in the air and chant it “Turds Rock! Turds Rock! Turds…”

Russian Cheese Music

So I don’t know wtf this song is about. As I keep listening I am waiting to be punked. But no, this is for real in all of its glorious commie glory. This thing is ripe for internet meme. I do wish for what ever drug hommie is sucking down.

We Are The World [acoustic and way better]

Beats out the Lil’ Wayne inflicted and star studded version that is to raise money for the earthquake wrecked Haiti by a few hours. Beats it in quality too. Much better. Good enough to beat a few more bucks out of my wallet again. Enjoy, and donate.

Maurice Andre and Dizzy Gillespie

This is sublime. Maurice Andre records were a mainstay of my musical education. Crystal clear sound and impeccable taste in musical choice. He set the standard for BAroque brass playing. Period.

Then surfing around for a repost of his glorious version of the first movement of the Haydn I found this. Dizzy and Maurice jamming out. Wow. Slightly square but he hangs with a god of jazz.

Perfect for Metal Mondays. Enjoy!

Why American Music Is Great

[Via Boing Boing]

Leonard Bernstein encapsulates the essence of the borrowed, stolen and melting pot majesty that is American folk music. It is the stuff most Americans have not understood and ramble ignorantly around with Lady GaGa pumped directly into their ears. [before you call me out for hating its on my ipod too] I wonder what Lenny would have said about post-disco pop and rap? It would be nice to have someone bring to light how utterly and wonderfully derivative they are both to the laundry list of music he quotes off but to the American experience in the national forum like he had in all of his tv series. We hate public tv and corporate monsters are more concerned with late night tv, the internets will dose out the red pills slowly.

He follows up his ode to the language and music by passing the baton off to Aaron Copland for a little bit of his own melting pot masterwork, “Fanfare for the Common Man”.
