Can you honestly say that it's better than Strawberry Fields? 02:26:25 Oh, unquestionably. 02:26:35 brb 02:26:42 how so? 02:26:58 It's just full of emotion, and passion. 02:27:14 And w/o there'd likely be no Strawberry Fields. 02:27:30 I find that the way SF was written was just incredible... listening back to Lennon's early takes yields a range of feelings, from the dreamy Spanish... [cut to answer your claim] 02:27:38 possibly 02:27:53 But without Beethoven... 02:28:16 * AaronSw goes to put on SF... 02:28:17 brb 02:28:21 O.k> 02:28:27 * AaronSw disconnects 02:28:29 as I was saying... 02:28:47 you can feel how SF was written when you hear it in the context of the early takes 02:29:22 but then the way it was tweaked into the master. Unbelievable. The outro sequence, with the train, the way the ambience changes a minute into the track... it's just wonderful 02:29:27 and the Cranberry Sauce 02:32:00 Rhapsody In Blue is good because it combines the Jazz feel with the kind of Russian feel... er... how better can I put it 02:32:29 it's like nothing else in that period, even though it really revolves around that central riff 02:36:17 * AaronSw reconnects 02:36:53 * sbp wonders how many people have picked up on the Prokofiev influence, if any 02:37:19 What album is it on? 02:37:45 I think we studied that in school once... 02:37:50 what album is what on? Strawberry Fields? 02:37:57 Magical Mystery Tour 02:39:36 Prokofiev was the one who wrote the war piece based on an old folk tune, right? 02:39:46 the intro to RIB is quite scary, though... 02:40:24 he wrote "Peter And The Wolf" 02:41:01 deltab has quit 02:42:14 if I was in that concert hall in 193x when Gershwin premiered RIB, I probably would have cried... if I was in Studio x at Abbey Road when The Beatles recorded SF. Well, who knows 02:42:47 Heh. 02:46:27 I can't believe I can't find Strawberry Fields... 02:46:59 deltab has joined #swhack 02:47:17 It's on Magical Mystery Tour 02:49:05 I know. 02:49:09 Ah, here it is. 02:49:21 too many beatles records, I say 02:49:32 and you think that "Good Vibrations" is exactly #100? 02:50:54 could you give a top 5? 02:52:10 I don't know about exactly... 02:52:57 Bohemian Rhapsody is on there 02:53:33 as is Abbey Road side 2 02:54:52 Hmm, I hate to admit this but I don't think I've ever listened to Strawberry Fields quite like this. 02:55:39 like what? like *really* listen? 02:55:47 Yeah. 02:55:53 I think I get something new out of it everytime I hear it... 02:58:48 actually, you might really appreciate The Rain Song 03:03:51 * sbp works out the first 30 seconds or so of RIB 03:04:16 Pff, and I would have hoped that OLGA could provide the rest, but nope: http://www.olga.net/dynamic/browse.php?local=classical/g/gershwin_george/ 03:08:13 The Rain Song? 03:08:25 * AaronSw commandeers BenSw's computer temporarily 03:08:36 heh, heh 03:08:45 Backing up my whole machine, and as you might guess it's taking a while 03:08:46 yes, The Rain Song 03:09:01 The Rain Song, Houses Of The Holy, Led Zeppelin 03:09:06 a while: yeah 03:09:27 I should be able to use it again once it gets past the "Scanning" phase. 03:09:52 Hmm, looks like it hit the HTTP archive... 03:10:03 apx. 110,000 files so far 03:10:45 ugh 03:12:04 Hmm, I like Strawberry Fields, but I don't see why it's your favorite song... doesn't hold together well IMO. 03:12:41 it holds together remarkably well for when John was trying to do, I think 03:13:05 s/when/what/? 03:13:18 er, yes 03:13:33 I used to regard "I Am The Walrus" as the best song ever, but then I listened to SF closely... 03:13:41 trying to do: and what was that? 03:14:06 I don't know, but if you listen to how the song progressed, it's fascinating 03:14:37 and he *still* managed to come up with the best song ever (IMO), so that's just scary 03:14:45 progressed: Where would I do that? On the anthology? 03:15:03 yeah, and through some Napster cuts 03:15:12 well the best song you've ever heard... 03:15:15 when Napster was around... 03:15:20 try AG for the second take 03:15:42 no, I seriously wonder how anyone could ever beat it 03:15:55 because it carries all of the culture behind it too 03:16:07 and you can only really have that period in musical history once 03:16:10 TODO AaronSw: rain song, strawberry fields take 2 03:16:27 well, get the initials and take 1 first 03:16:55 Take 7 is also interesting. The first minute of the main version is from that 03:17:13 ugh, i can't find anything in ben's room... 03:17:48 even Ben? 03:18:13 heheh 03:18:16 He's not here\ 03:18:38 he's out watching tv 03:18:55 Hmm... I think that in some regards my songwriting abilities are limited by the intrument I play 03:19:23 not surprising, i think that in some regards my thoughts are limited by the language i speak 03:19:30 say I'd been able to come up with RIB and SF in one evening. I'd do them on the guitar, play them to people, and they'be like, "what's that ment to be?" 03:19:37 yeah 03:19:45 it really bums me 03:20:15 man, that opening glissendo is *so* difficult on the guitar. Have to bend up about 5 fret's worth 03:22:53 fret? 03:25:23 deltab has quit 03:25:38 yeah. A semitone of space, marked on the guitar by huge lumpy bits of metal that span the fretboard 03:25:54 put your finger behind one, pluck a sting, you have a note 03:26:06 s/sting/string/ 03:27:12 ah 03:31:10 up to 240,000 files or so 03:32:01 Ben is back. 03:32:55 deltab has joined #swhack 03:33:04 deltab has quit 03:33:04 deltab has joined #swhack 03:33:10 having a bad net hair day, deltab? 03:33:15 * BenSw is AaronSw 03:36:41 when it comes to expression of thought, English is about as useful as a triangle 03:37:51 heh 03:39:24 but there are patches in musical expression too... there are still a couple of forms of music that I can kinda feel, but don't have any songs to say "ooh, that's the kind of thing I mean" 03:39:45 Love And Theft was a great find because it patched up quite a few holes that really needed patching 03:40:50 heh, if someone asked me to describe exactly what type of music I want "patched"... 03:41:07 ...you can just imagine me getting a triangle, and banging on it fuiously - this is the kind of thing! 03:41:20 ting-ting-ting! 03:41:25 Heh heh heh. 03:42:41 but really, I'm looking for a kind of post-30s Jazz type of feel. i.e. Jazz, without the Jazz element 03:42:59 Riiight. 03:43:10 310,000 files 03:43:17 ting-ting-ting! 03:43:53 y'know, like those five piece Jazz/Blues combos.
