Prelude - After The Gold Rush (1973)

Review by Bruce Eder

Add another notch up on this rating if gorgeous harmonies and really nice-sounding covers of Neil Young songs count a lot for the listener. Prelude's second album is a beautiful folk-rock-cum-country work, with radiant singing and some beautiful melodies among the original songs — some of the lyrical content may seem a bit simplistic, but the record is pretty enough to overcome that minor drawback. It's just great listening, and the originals are as hauntingly lovely as the ravishingly sung cover of Neil Young's song that gave this album its title. In many ways, this album is a successor to that brief resurgence of acoustic Anglo-American folk-rock represented by the first Crosby, Stills & Nash album, before everybody got all heavy and angry — say, a sequel to the "Suite: Judy Blues Eyes"/"Lady of the Island" side of that record. Even more astonishing is the fact that it was produced by Ian Samwell, a founding member of Cliff Richard's group the Shadows and author of the rock & roll standards "Move It" and "Whatcha Gonna Do About It."

The National - All The Wine off of Alligator, the best cd of 2006

All the Wine

I'm put together beautifully

Big wet bottle in my fist, big wet rose in my teeth

I'm perfect piece of ass

Like every Californian

So tall I take over the street, with highbeams shining on my back

A wingspan unbelievable

I'm a festival, I'm a parade

And all the wine is all for me

And all the wine is all for me

And all the wine is all for me

I'm a birthday candle in a circle of black girls

God is on my side

Cuz I'm the child bride

I'm so sorry but the motorcade will have to go around me this time

Cuz God is on my side

And I'm the child bride

And all the wine is all for me

And all the wine is all for me

And all the wine is all for me

I carry the dollhouse, safe on my shoulders

Through the black city, night lights are on in the corners

And everyone's sleeping upstairs

All safe and sound

All safe and sound, I won't the let psychos around

All safe and sound, I won't let the psychos around

I'm in a state, I'm in a state

Nothing can touch us my love

I'm in a state, I'm in a state

Nothing can touch us my love

Ry Cooder - All Shook Up

(otis blackwell/elvis presley)

Yeah! oh!

Well, bless my soul, what’s wrong with me ?

I’m itching like a man on a fuzzy tree

The friends say I’m acting wild as a bug

I’m in love, I’m all shook up

I’m, i’m, i’m,

I’m, i’m, i’m, oh lord

Yeah yeah yeah

My hands are shaky and my knees are weak

I can’t seem to stand on my own two feet

Who do you thank when you have such luck ?

I’m in love, I’m all shook up

Well, please don’t ask me what’s on my mind

A little mixed up, but I’m feeling fine

I’m near the girl I love the best

My heart beats so it scares me to...

She touched my hand and what a chill I got

Her lips are like a volcano when that’s hot

I’m proud to say she’s my buttercup

I’m in love and I’m all messed up

I’m, i’m, i’m...

Lawdy, lawdy

I’m, i’m, i’m...

Yeah, yeah, yeah

My tongue gets tied when I try to speak

My inside’s shaking like a leaf on a tree

There’s only one cure for this body of mine

And that’s to have that girl right here right now

She touched my hand and what a chill I got

Her lips are like a volcano when that’s hot

I’m proud to say she’s my buttercup

I’m in love and I’m all shook up

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
