I Hear A New World
http://ihearanewworld.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
I Hear A New World. Wednesday, February 14, 2007. For ultra-quixotic, and therefore probably somewhat embarassing, reasons, I penned some lines about the Wu-Tang Clan, which I thought I would share with you, my people. Since a computer crash eightysixed an earlier and loopier version of this post (best line that no longer makes sense: "don't despair karma, you are not what they say you are! I verbally assault with my tongue Goodbye Short 20th Century. Posted by the sad billionaire @ 10:49 AM. Adorno, eve...

I Hear A New World. Saturday, May 27, 2006. Here is a dumb axiom that is nevertheless useful. Different kinds of music help us understand different kinds of theory; conversely, different kinds of theory help us understand different kinds of music. Misapply the wrong kind of analytic framework to the wrong kind of examples and you end up with a big old mess. The Sopranos and Philosophy. Home Improvement and Philosophy. Bad Music: The Music We Love To Hate. Ultimately, however, "bad music" should alert us ...

I Hear A New World. Friday, January 11, 2008. If (a) Twee Fails. My brother's blog alerted me to some controversy regarding Juno's status as a legitimately "indie" film. While considering matters cinematic is outside my ken, I will echo others who claim that the search for "authenticity" in indie cinema is a fool's errand and that allegations that Juno is derivative are overstated (and poorly formulated, even if true: don't we turn to indie cinema for "more of what we know we like" in the first place?

I Hear A New World. Thursday, March 20, 2008. Once the media decided that Wright was going to be a problem for Obama, the only question for pundits, critics, and the Obama campaign itself was how best to control the damage. Lost in this rush to evaluate how well Obama has performed public contrition and denunciation of Wright are larger questions. For instance, why are African American politicians asked to publicly negotiate their relationships to radical intellectuals when whites are not? The Wright spe...

Great Music: September 2012
http://markongreatmusic.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Trumpets and Violins that you Can Hear in the Distance. Sunday, September 30, 2012. All-Chick Super Group Would Rock- and Possibly Be a Monster as Well. Or maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal in this post-feminist era. I just think the music would be good! Other combinations are possible: Paz Lechantin or Gail Greenwood on bass- maybe even Melissa Auf De Mar on bass and vocals and MEG WHITE on drums if you want a more mainstream pop/blues/rock appeal. Or Big Kat on guitar. SUGGESTED NAMES: Four Day Creep.

Great Music: JIMI HENDRIX DOES NOT BELONG IN VOLUME TWO
http://markongreatmusic.blogspot.com/2014/07/jimi-hendrix-does-not-belong-in-volume.html
Trumpets and Violins that you Can Hear in the Distance. Saturday, July 26, 2014. JIMI HENDRIX DOES NOT BELONG IN VOLUME TWO. Robbie Robertson's book on. Music Legends Icons and Rebels. The took it back. Alexis Koerner and Gil Evans have spoken of Hendrix in similar terms. Hendrix would belong in this book even if it had only 7 names. If it referred strictly to rock musicians, he would belong in the top 3, along with Dylan and the Beatles. They led, and everyone else followed. Bob Dylan- XM Radio Show.

Great Music: October 2009
http://markongreatmusic.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Trumpets and Violins that you Can Hear in the Distance. Sunday, October 11, 2009. Adrian Belew Power Trio- The Starlite Room, Edmonton Oct.9, 2009. I never liked playing in stadiums because it's not much of a musical event. The sound is usually horrible, the audience can't really see you or feel what you're doing or respond to you. I love playing smaller places because of those very reasons.". They were having. I even got to buy their live CD ("Four"). From their mom, Robin Slick, in the lobby. 8220;Afte...

Great Music: The 100 Greatest Electric Guitarists of the Blues/Rock Era
http://markongreatmusic.blogspot.com/2007/06/100-greatest-electric-guitarists-in.html
Trumpets and Violins that you Can Hear in the Distance. Tuesday, June 19, 2007. The 100 Greatest Electric Guitarists of the Blues/Rock Era. Controversial ranking of the "100 greatest guitarists of all time". Is a curious mixture of historically astute observation and almost ridiculous pandering to popular taste. In a very real sense, it is incoherent. What exactly are the criteria? Let's stick to apples and oranges, and leave the peas and grapefruits out of it. Let's start with The Top Ten:. 7 BB King (3).
