The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (TIP!)
What a wonderrful selection with musical perspective....the song
about vegetables and wind makes me cry.. but Good Vibrations is Santa
Monica in July.
For me, music always takes me back to when it was - where it was and
who I was/wasn't with when I heard it.
Once I was so taken with a Silent Poets track I replayed it so many
times, I wrote 40 pages of poetry...
When I do yoga, I hear Harold Budd/Brian Eno "The Pearl" in my head, even tho
there is no sound in the room.
When I hear "In The Still Of The Night" I think of the very first
time a boy ever asked me to dance and held me close.
Whenever I hear "White Rabbit" I flash back to an amyl trip @ 14.....
&"Whole Lotta Love" just makes me shake my long hair & do the hippie dance.
Whenever I hear Marvin Gaye sing "What's Goin' On" I get thefonky
ghetto blues...
As for N.O.W., Aphex, Orb - too many memories mushrooms, stonedness,
clouds surround my head...
In 1988, around midnite I was in a record shop in San Fran where I
regularly routed for tunes and I found "Strings of Life" second
track in on the Bside - My hair stood on end, my spine tingled...
And I'll never forget the reaktion the Beasties "Fight For Your Right
To Party" or Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" raised whenever I
dropped them in the early hours of djing....
"Stop Making Sense" Check Brian Enos "Life in the Bush of Ghosts"
Night before my Xmas holiday to the Sinai I made a mix tape of
Neotropic & 9 Lazy 9 -- pure beach music & spent 3 hours walkin along
a deserted beach on Xmas day, so whenever I hear those tunes now, I
get warm as sunshine & warp myself back to the beach....
life is life
people is people
music is music
this is what the man in the desert taught me.....
was this post too romantic? i got inspired.
