Guided by Voices [00:58] "Echos Myron" Bee Thousand Scat Records SCAT 35 1994 One of the many classics from this canonical lo-fi album on beautiful translucent blue vinyl. If you're the sort that digs the 33 1/3 book series, there is an excellent one on this album. Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra [03:39] "Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67: Scherzo-Allegro/Allegro; Presto" Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67/Egmont Overture Op. 84/Coriolan Overture, Op. 62/Overture "Leonore" No. 3, Op. 7a Mercury MG 50017 1953 Well, the cover says Beethoven: Eroica Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major, but instead, it's a completely different Beethoven piece by a different orchestra, on a different label. Ah well. Can't argue with free. Otto Klemperer conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra [12:52] "Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93: II. Allegretto Scherzando" Symphony No. 1 a No. 8 Angel Records 35657 1958 Supposedly this is a parody of a metronome. Gotta love musical jokes. And yes, Otto Klemperer is the father of beloved actor Werner Klemperer. Bob Dylan/The Band [18:38] "All Along the Watchtower" Before the Flood Asylum Records AB-201 1974 Some interesting items on this double live album. Some less interesting and chaotic things. All Along the Watchtower seems to be a solid symbiosis between Bob and the Band. The Rolling Stones [22:01] "Stray Cat Blues" Beggars Banquet London Records PS 539 A rockin blues number from Jagger and Richards, supposedly inspired by VU's Heroin. It also features Brian Jones on mellotron. The beginning of the end for Mr. Jones. Cannonball Adderley [26:39] "Spectacular" Beginnings Mercury EMS-2-404 1976 Recorded February 6, 1975, with Nat Adderley on cornet, Junior Mance on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Fine Arts Quartet [31:25] "String Quartet No. 6, I. Mesto - Più mosso, pesante - vivace/II. Mesto - Marcia" Bela Bartók Streichquartette Nr. 5 (1934) Nr. 6. (1939) Barenreiter Musicaphon BM 30 L 1803 This selection used to belong to the Djerassi Foundation in Woodside CA. I wonder which artist liberated this from their collection. Stevie Nicks [47:23] "Edge of Seventeen" Bella Donna Modern Records MR 38-139 1981 Quadruple platinum from everyone's favorite witchy woman, on the record label that Stevie co-founded with Danny Goldberg and Paul Fishkin. Nadja [52:46] "Skin Like Sand" Belles Bêtes Beta-lactam Ring Records 2009 The first of many tracks you will be hearing from the transcendent duo known as Nadja (https://nadja.bandcamp.com/music). This track is a reinterpretation of a solo project by member Aidan Baker entitled Songs of Flowers a Skin. Music behind the DJ: "Gomez" by Vic Mizzy
