I Had An Amplifier, Too

 

I just really like the verse:

From across the canyon a guitar plays
Through an amplifier on long delay
It was an old melody, I recognized the song
I had an amplifier, too, so I played along…

It sounds very friendly.  Full lyrics HERE.

Standing in the Doorway

Bob Dylan does not allow his albums to be streamed on YouTube, but he does allow fans to film and post his concerts.

This track below, from his 1997 Time Out Of Mind album, is a wonderful song with pretty good audio quality-- but you're going to make yourself queasy if you try to watch the video.

Intercession

"The idea that each of us can be directly spiritual is radical. Most religions are based not on teaching adherents to be directly spiritual, but in persuading them to trust in the intercession of ministers or priests. The problem with this approach is that we cannot gain access to spirituality except through the medium of a fallible human being. If we want to see Tao, we need only open our eyes and trust what we see."  ~Deng Ming-Dao

Stop!

Animal Rights

 

Moby's Animal Rights album was so poorly received that he almost left the music industry.  (He didn't, of course, and rebounded with Play and 18.)

The first time I played Animal Rights I hated it, but that was mostly on me.  I expected something different.  This album has some of his best lush, electronic grooves, which I did expect, but also some crashing, screaming, almost punk-rock songs, which I did not.

It was a little jarring at first, but the more I listen, the more I hear how the two divergent styles play off of and compliment each other-- the same way sweet and salt combine in honey roasted peanuts.

Disillusionment and angst are not new topics for Moby, but the way he expressed them in the song above is.  Full lyrics HERE.
