Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, New York - archives opened! Check out ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST


 

 seeing as how my entire raison d’être for doing this was to share links to other blogs posting ROIOs that I liked and hope that my taste was suitable catholic enough to warrant other’s interest here is today’s post from Paul at ATSE . . . .mentioning a new batch of recordings via the legendary Guitars101 . . . . . follow his links heck visit his site and place your orders or try the list!

Another Poll

Here's a really interesting thing that just happened. Yesterday, somebody posted a list of dozens of newly liberated bootlegs, nearly all of them recorded at the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, New York. They're generally from about 2012 to 2019, though there are some exceptions. They include many of the biggest name musical acts to pass through there. Here's the list (scroll down the thread a bit to see it):

https://www.guitars101.com/threads/you-didnt-get-this-from-me.843644/

Actually, I see that's only a partial list. Here's a PDF file of the complete list, which is twice as long:

https://pixeldrain.com/u/86W6nJCY

If you're interested, I highly recommend you grab the ones you want for yourself, while the grabbing is good. Who knows, the links may all die at any time. 

There's good news and bad news. The good news is that, of the ones I've sampled so far, the sound quality is fantastic. Every single one is a soundboard. Many also are high quality videos. The bad news is that most of them are mono, and most are just a single sound or video file, with no song list or anything else. I can't do anything about the mono, but I could fix the other issues. I want to take some of these and give them my usual treatment, chopping them into mp3s, giving them song titles, making cover art, and so forth. But I can only do that for a small percentage of this very long list, especially since I have so much other music I want to post too.

So that gets me to a poll. If you want to see me fix up and post certain concerts from that list, please write which ones you want the most. Just give the artist name and year, and I can figure out the rest. To keep things reasonable, please list no more than ten. I don't know how many I will convert, but I'll try to do at least the top vote getters. Thanks. Paul ATSE

Prurient · Some Pain Has To Be Endured (Retaliation) [Dominick Fernow]

 

Prurient - Dominick Fernow

some contemplative ambience for a Saturday

Iranian Jazz · Silk roads fade, but melodies remain | 1 Hour Endless Night

So how about some Iranian music!?  . . . .don’t know where I found this last night wandering the blogosphere but here . . . . . .  it caught my ear

Iranian Jazz · Silk roads fade, but melodies remain | 1 Hour Endless Night

we are separated by nothing but language and joined by music

Toumani Diabaté - Elyne Road

 Might start the day with some peaceful contemplative meditation musics . . . we love Diabaté


‘The Mandé Variations’ is probably the most ambitious and challenging African instrumental album yet released. It is at once the definitive statement on where the kora is today and simply one of the most beautiful and melodically accessible albums you will hear this year. An important album for Africa, an important album for the world.

Recorded unaccompanied and entirely without overdubs, ‘The Mandé Variations’ is an African classical album that rocks and swings, that has learnt from Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix, yet remains entirely true to the kora player’s Mandé griot tradition.

Superbly recorded so that we can hear every touch of the strings, every throb and creak of the instrument’s wood and sinew, ‘The Mandé Variations’ takes us not only to the deep places of the Mandé soul, but almost physically into the kora itself. This is the ultimate statement on one of the world’s great instruments – until the next Toumani Diabaté album.

Postmodern Jukebox - Soul Love (David Bowie cover) featuring Sweet Megg

  . . . in their usual inimitable style


Enjoy David Bowie's “Soul Love" transformed into a jazz ballad featuring Sweet Megg🎶

THE NOTELINE - That's Life

 A sad one to start the close of day with this one . . . . posted only nine days ago do we know this or this guys (band?)

Sometimes walking away is the only way to save your heart. "That's Life" is a minimalist acoustic indie-soul ballad for the mature heartbreaks—the ones where you aren't angry, just exhausted, and realizing that sometimes the good ones simply have to end.

THE NOTELINE - That's Life

🎵 Genre: Indie-Soul / Acoustic R&B 🎧 Music production by The Noteline 🎵 Listen to the rest of the journey:    • The Noteline Official Releases  

Kelly Boesch UPDATES - Play It Late / Kelly Boesch - This Tiny World / Kelly Boesch - Saffron & Smoke

 Another gem from Kelly Boesch and this one struck me by the rendering gof people the skin tones and the flesh the quality of the materials used to ‘dress’ her imaginations! May have missed this one before . . . . . . 


Kelly says: I had a blast making this video. #VEO3 does modern dance so well. #Midjourney kills it with the scenes and art. Using my style ref code gives these images so much cool detail. I want to paint some of these paintings. The song is called Play It Late, Play It Loud, this is only the partial song. The full song will be out shortly on streaming and Bandcamp. Song made using #suno and lyrics by Kelly Boesch.
Ready for a new year and a new outlook. Hope and positivity


Kelly Boesch - Play It Late



Kelly Boesch

Tonight Kelly said: I was playing around with some fashion tonight hanging in my room in London. Having the best time here. Went out shopping today and was looking for a fun blouse. Couldn’t find anything I loved. Tried some textures and patterns for fun. Really love some of these. I was trying to get some fuller sized models. There is a mix here. They are getting better. I have to be very specific. The song is called This Tiny World. It’s been out for a while. 

This Tiny World

[Verse 1] 
Do we truly see what we hold? 
It’s easy to get lost in the noise 
Can we open our hearts to each other? 
Just one life 
Just one spark 
Isn’t it beautiful?

[Chorus] 
This tiny world 
Floating in the silence of the dark 
We hold this tiny world 
A precious light inside the stars 
This tiny world

[Verse 2] 
Time to pause and breathe it in 
Feel the sunlight on your skin 
Step outside and feel the life 
Just one life 
Just one spark
Isn’t it beautiful?

[Bridge] 
Spinning in the deep blue night 
There is no place to hide from sight 
It’s fragile and it’s all we know 
We have to love it, help it grow

[Chorus] 
This tiny world 
Floating in the silence of the dark 
We hold this tiny world 
A precious light inside the stars 
This tiny world

[Outro] 
Just one life 
Just one spark 
This tiny world

Saffron & Smoke
Kelly says: 
I love when I am playing around with images and get some fashion that I absolutely love. These were made using Midjourney V8.1. Just stunning. There is so much to look at here. The colors, the patterns, the accessories. It’s my new couture line 😄❤️. The song is one of mine that has been out a while called Saffron and Smoke. It’s on my latest album too.
