Friday Video | The Maniacal Magic Of Keith Moon

..And the rest of the gang: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Who..including the eternally awesome(IMO) Keith Moon with a pretty good studio version of, "Who Are You?" :



With some clowning around by Moon, Townshend and the guys.
If there are haunted, cosmic album covers the Who's "Who Are You" would be my top pick. Keith Moon is front and center, seated backwards on a stage chair, on the back of the chair is printed, "NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY". Keith Moon was(as we all know) "taken away" shortly thereafter. A challenge perhaps to the F.S.M.? Who knows. Still a mysterious coincidence.
..and by the way is it just me or is that duct tape holding Moon's headphones on?

Friday Video | Randy Newman, A Few Words In Defense

Randy Newman has been putting out great music for a long time. I've got a couple of his late seventies albums in the ol' Dean Library and they still sound good. He also composes great music for films(Toy Story,etc). Here from Macworld Expo 2008 is "A Few Words In Defense Of My Country" from Harps And Angels:

Friday Night Video | Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic Vol.1

I got the Jackson Browne cd "Solo Acoustic vol. 1" a few days ago. It's just a lot of his music played live and acoustic in concert. I hadn't heard a lot of these songs in a long time, "These Days", "Your Bright Baby Blues", "The Pretender", and the last time I had heard them was from my old record collection. They sound just as good on this cd. Or as good as the memory anyway. Very simply done, pretty much guitar and piano, and the interaction with the audience. As with any music I'm listening to at any given time the songs are running through my head. So here's one of Mister Browne's acoustic American musical masterpieces:


This is one of the better videos with a song from the cd I could find. Check more of them out on YouTube, etc. His music's well worth a listen, and he's got a long catalog of good music. I'll get Solo Acoustic Volume 2 next.
This will be my last weekend post till Sunday at least. Try not to miss me to much(WAAH!). I'm going to the mountains for a visit and for a break. Been a long week. No computer or Internet access "tubes" where I'll be.
Night all and have a nice weekend. American troops, heads up and watch out for each other! Iraqis I'm still sorry for what my leaders have done to you and your country. Be safe..ALL.
