Love them, or hate them, the Chili Peppers are a divisive band.
I'm the former camp. Unlimited Love is a phenomenal album.

Day 30: A song from the 20s

I've wanted to post something by Therion for a while now but always went with something else. I love storytelling, I love storytelling in music. This song is about the mythical god (demon) Pazuzu, who has associations with the plague (this song came out in 2022, not sure if there is correlation with what the world was living through at the time). But he would also be invoked to protect women during childbirth, since he could ward off evil spirits.

Also this song is quite striking musically and definitely worth a listen.

Therion - Pazuzu

He basically lists problems in this song. And then says “Alors on sort pour oublier tous les problèmes”, meaning, therefore we go out to forget all the problems.

So, just dance.

Stromae - Alors On Danse

So, I love some of their work, but after Blood Sugar Sex Magic, all their songs sounded the same to me, just slowed down or sped up, mostly like their song about a bridge (which I won't name out of respect for the rules.) Mother's Milk has my hands-down favorite song. (Well, actually the Say Anything... Soundtrack had it first.)

But I worked a concert with them, and from all reports, they are lovely people (didn't get to meet them).

Completely understandable, but, there are loads of bands out there that have found their sound and stuck to it. AC/DC pops up front-and-center in my mind. Sometimes a formula just works, and cali-rock does. For me. Not for everyone. So yeah, they're divisive!

Some times you don't want to try the new rainbow colored cup; you just want some vanilla and chocolate ice cream, and that's fine too. It's familiar. And awesome

(Chad's apparently a sweetheart, as is Flea, but Tony is by all accounts a raging dick!)

And that is my point. Up to and through Mother's Milk, they had a bunch of different sounds. Mofo Uplift Party Plan has, arguably, maybe too many different sounds.

I have the same issue with Danny Elfman's work, which is part of what I am typing up now.

Day 30: A song from the 20s
Closing out Decades week, and spotlighting Jewish artists, Danny Elfman. I first saw Danny Elfman on The Gong Show in 1976. He was part of his brother's street theater ensemble, The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. Later, Danny took the core of that and created the experimental rock group Oingo Boingo. (Big fan of this era.) Then, in 1985, he took his first scoring gig, for Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. He had never attempted anything like it before, but he was outstanding, and it became a vocation. After several different films, he connected with Tim Burton for Batman, and moved to a far darker musical pallet while keeping his whimsy, a style he maintained. And while I enjoy his work, he settled into a "Danny Elfman sound," and all of his scores sound very, very similar to me, enough so I can often pick out his music off a movie trailer.

In 2021, he came out with his first non-soundtrack album in 37 years with Big Mess. And it did not sound like his other work. Then, in December of that year, he came out with Bigger. Messier. He gave his album over to other artists to remix and play with. Some mostly unknown wunderkinds, and others more well known. One of the latter which he worked with was Trent Reznor, who also moved to scoring soundtracks. That song was then remixed by Ghostemane. And the energy on this song is amazing. Dark, powerful, and original. Danny Elfman has reentered the building...

"Native Intelligence (Ghostemane remix)," Danny Elfman with Trent Reznor

I cannot express how exciting and emotional it felt to hear a new song by the Beatles last year…

My current favorite song in no small part because I drink my whiskey neat, coffee black and am a night owl who is dating someone WAY too sweet for me

Day 30: song from the 20s:
To be fair, this is not the original Fanny Bryce recording done in the 20s but I've loved Barbara's version of it since I first saw "Funny Girl" when I was a young girl.

I asked and got permission from MLAS to post this cover of My Man originally recorded in the 20s - just so you all know... I'm not making up my own rules.

Factoid: The week this came out I was in England at a Gareth Malone Sing-a-long in Tunbridge Wells and we sang this together.
