What are you listening to Part 'You Linear Thinkers ... Arrrghhh'
I'm about to listen to Rachmaninov's "All-Night Vigil", as performed by the Latvian Radio Choir (Sigvards Klava). The CD arrived by post this afternoon, and I'm eager to unwrap its contents....
I know it's an oldie, but I like it?
Don't Let Me Down as sung by a 2 year old and his daddy. Really cute!
Here's an oldie from '72, by one of the better bands that "never made it". The Punk Band "The Dictators" did a cover of this in the 80's, I believe. Nice slide guitar here:

Before Buster Poindexter got Hot, Hot, Hot, he was David Johansen, and he freakin' ROCKED
Here's a song that probably began life as a work song, akin to a "stomp and go" sea chanty. Originally, a "Black Betty" was the truck used to move prison inmates from job to job in the Southern U.S. states. But it morphed along the way.
Here's Leadbelly:

Of course yer more familiar with this by Ram Jam
Blind Willie Johnson, "In My Time of Dying"

Some English Cover Band doing the same song:
This song is credited as laying the groundwork for maybe the psychedelic sound ten years later. Deffinately lead the way to heavier rock genres.
Seeing Tommy_Paine in this thread reminded me of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHuIj3dYVhM]Mira Bilotte's cover[/url] of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBV6hH7pGlU]this[/url] Bob Dylan song.

On account of tonights Only in Canada segment on CBC News the National, about midnight activities during the solstice in White Horse, including, among other things, night gardening.
I've never been much of a Slayer fan, but today's passing of guitarist, Jeff Hanneman led me to stumbling across Hellsongs, a Swedish band that does indie-folk covers of metal classics.

I'm getting a bit manic. Any recommendations?
..maybe some dylan depending on your intent. did you want to fly with it or try and ground yourself? or something else.
I'll try Dylan. Trying to ground myself. That has many different meanings. ;) So, probly, something else.

Why did everything
Every little thing, every little thing
With you and me have to be so political?
Bob Dylan - With God On Our Side
Oh my name it ain't nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And the land that I live in
Has God on its side.Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.The Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns on their hands
And God on their side.The First World War, boys
It came and it went
The reason for fighting
I never did get
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And then we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war comes
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.

Rebel Diaz- "I'm An Alien"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbXHJPWvOg8#t=25
“This song and video are inspired by the actions of youth in Arizona defending immigrant rights; by the urgent struggle to change the narrative on the issue of mass incarceration; by our friends, families, and neighbors struggling to live a life of dignity in the face of constant attacks on workers, immigrants, and youth. We are called aliens to deny us our humanity. But with “I’m An Alien” we reclaim the term. We will not let ‘legality’ as defined by this oppressive system to determine our worth as human beings.” – Rebel Diaz

Was talking to my 29 year old kid the other day. Her self-described retro hippy friends are listening to Dead Can Dance. So great to hear that this music transcends generations, just like I listened to Bob Dylan and The Velvet Underground when I was young (no, I'm not THAT old, it was a decade or so ahead of my time). Now, if I can get my youngest to stop listening to Bruno Mars and start listening to Patti Smith, I'll consider it a job well done.
I used to know the lyrics and sing so many of his long songs on me guitar. I was so much older then....
Here is my latest collection of favorite songs from Toronto.

So beautiful. Thank you.
..glad you enjoyed it unionist! i sure am enjoying rediscovring their music. i first became aware of sweet honey at the wpg folk fest back in the early 70's shortly after the group started up.
..the 2nd post in #199, a song began that wasn't finished. here it is.
I Remember, I Believe performed by Sweet Honey in the Rock
..it is said that our formal histories are written by the victors. and our real history, buried in struggle, are written in folklore. or something like that. this song is a way that it is passed from one generation to the other. from person to person. i find this piece quite beautiful and deeply moving at the same time.
