Kostas says: 

Free Hand is perhaps Gentle Giant's most realized effort. After the excellent In a Glass House, the group further developed its Renaissance-medieval approach, producing one of the most creative and complex 

recordings in progressive rock history. Their vocal approach to the four-part fugue "On Reflection" was revolutionary for its time and is looked upon as one of the genre's defining moments. Despite the complexity of the arrangements, the music never sounds academic and in fact is very accessible thanks to several melodic hooks. The combination of superb musicianship, dry wit, and creative compositions make this an essential and historical recording.

I searched through an awful lot of live footage of the band but really couldn’t bring myself to post any (never trust a man who seems to have had a perm, over trimmed beard and a white shortsleeved safari jumpsuit would be my best advice!!) so there is this album track which I found about bearable! It’ called Nothing at All!

😉😂

Gentle Giant - Nothing At All 

Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah, this is a girl who had everything Finds she's nothing at all Now the wind seems so cold Seems so old as it laughs at her fears And her tears And as ducks swim away from her Visions of past love appear In her tears She sees love in his face as she tells him to go And so here's a girl who had everything Finds she's nothing at all What would she say if she saw him, yeah Now that she's gone, man, you're losing Now you can see what she's seeing, yeah For sure she's more than just choosing Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah, this is a girl who had everything Finds she's nothing at all

 "STICKY!!" A New Kind Of Mambo Vol. 29

"Dancing is pure and it feels good. Our bodies are supposed to be mobilized. We sit at work. We drive everywhere. Friday and Saturday night are for dancing. You guys are stupid! Look at these girls. They're dancing…

...You guys wondering why you don't get laid?Y ou're not dancing with the pretty girls. People of my parents' generation, that's how they fell in love! Dancing was their first physical contact. 'Honey, I know your father is a brute, but you've got to understand... he used to be such a dancer!'It's part of the mating ritual. Unfortunately, the mating ritual now is meeting for coffee and talking on the internet. There's no glory in that. No wonder all these guys are emaciated, effeminate,fucking little dorks. No wonder I don't have sex with anyone, I'd fucking break them.”

I'm Waiting for the Man - The Velvet Underground Live 1969

from Twilightzone

"Audio taken from October 19, 1969, End of Cole Ave. club, Dallas. Picture taken from October 15, 1969, Dallas Peace Moratorium. For such a groundbreaking band, the Velvet Underground has little footage of them performing live. That was why in 2019 is was extremely exciting to see Texas film archives uncover three films of the Velvet Underground performing at the Dallas Peace Moratorium on October 15th, 1969. These films where: a short 16mm documentary of the event with some audio and picture of the Velvets performing (and Sterling Morrison being interviewed), a silent 16mm B-roll of outtakes from this doc, and a silent 8mm home movie shot from the audience. I was curious, would it be possible to take all of this footage and try to sync it to a live recording for an approximation of what it would've been like to see the Velvet Underground perform live? Luckily only a few days after the event on October 19th, a fan would make one of the best live recordings of the Velvet Underground at the End of Cole Ave. club in Dallas. So now the hard part was, which song has the most footage them playing? From the doc there were sync sound snippets of "I'm Waiting for the Man", "Beginning to See the Light", and "I'm Set Free". To figure out the silent footage, I had to do a lot of lip reading. And as luck would have it, most of the other silent footage was also of "Waiting for the Man". With another stroke of luck, it appears like they performed "Waiting for the Man" almost identically across the two shows. So with a little bit of fudging, I tried to get "Beginning to See the Light", "I'm Set Free", and all the other footage synced up to the best of my ability. It's not perfect, but I'm very happy with the results. A big thanks to the Texas Archive of the Moving Image, and the G. William Jones Film & Video Collection at SMU for posting such incredible footage!”

St. Vincent - Cover Versions, Volume 2: 2016-2021(covers and originals!) | Albums That Should Exist

 St. Vincent - Cover Versions, Volume 2: 2016-2021

Paul he say: Here's a second volume of covers performed by singer-songwriter St. Vincent (a.k.a. Annie Clark). 

This volume is evenly split between officially released and unreleased. Tracks 1, 2, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, and 16 are the officially released ones. Check out the mp3 tags for each song for specific details about where they come from. 

The others generally come from concert bootlegs, or in-person radio station appearances, or the like. Again, check the mp3 tags for more info. They all sound excellent, except for "Perfect Day." That one was from an audience bootleg with rough sound quality. But I ran it through several filters with the MVSEP audio editing program, and I think it sounds decent now. 

Note that "Masseduction-One Kiss" isn't a cover in the usual sense. Instead, it's a medley of a song by St. Vincent with one by Dua Lipa, and performed by them together. I thought it was interesting enough to include, even though it's only sort of half of a cover version.

This album is 53 minutes long.

Here's a list of the original artists for each song:

01 Something on Your Mind - Karen Dalton
02 Bad Girls - Elegant Too
03 Crazy - Willie Nelson / Patsy Cline
04 London Calling - Clash
05 Possum Kingdom - Toadies
06 Consideration - Rihanna featuring SZA
07 And Then She Kissed Me - Crystals
08 Court and Spark - Joni Mitchell
09 Perfect Day - Lou Reed
10 Wouldn’t Want to Be like You - Sheryl Crow
11 Masseduction-One Kiss - St. Vincent & Dua Lipa
12 Controversy - Prince
13 Martha My Dear - Beatles
14 The Eddy - Glen Ballard & Randy Kerber
15 All Tomorrow’s Parties - Velvet Underground
16 Sad but True - Metallica

Here's the usual song list: 

01 Something on Your Mind (St. Vincent)
02 Bad Girls (St. Vincent)
03 Crazy (St. Vincent)
04 London Calling (St. Vincent)
05 Possum Kingdom (St. Vincent)
06 Consideration (St. Vincent)
07 And Then She Kissed Me (St. Vincent)
08 Court and Spark (St. Vincent)
09 Perfect Day (St. Vincent)
10 Wouldn’t Want to Be like You (St. Vincent & Sheryl Crow)
11 Masseduction-One Kiss - St. Vincent & Dua Lipa
12 Controversy (St. Vincent)
13 Martha My Dear (St. Vincent)
14 The Eddy (St. Vincent)
15 All Tomorrow’s Parties (St. Vincent & Thomas Bartlett)
16 Sad but True (St. Vincent) 

Here’s Volume II why it’d be rude not to!
