median speed

Billy Joel, Where’s The Orchestra? Is this an especially bittersweet and maudlin speed?

Does harmonic tempo carry emotions by *nature*?

Kanye West: Contemporary Socrates, Plato or Reagan with the Benefit of History?

When I heard this track on the day it was released, I thought to myself: there is much more to this man than just being a [colored man] from Chicago with a nice flow.

When I was a child on Chicago many restaurants were open at lunch and had bands like you hear about he Beatles in Hamburg now. That, but simple lunch. I remember strolling around Chicago at 4-6 years old, with all the bad memories cut out (our memories are so pink sometimes – well, mine are), and the songs in my time, in my parents’ library was essentially – Bach, Beethoven,

Beatles, Bacharach, Debussy, Ravel – as my dad was an eye surgeon [in training] at Northwestern University and the aforementioned composers set me on a path of [Pat Metheny / Lyle Mays] addiction and the conviction that with no way to explain this to myself – and this is true not only for a high percentage of not only musicians and non-musicians, that there were certain still un-copyrightable [grove patterns]. That said, if any of us make it to heaven you know Bo Diddley is going to be there. Can you image if could have copyrighted the foundation of 1/2 of pop music?

Bo DiddleyIn that light, I think Kanye can pick up the Bo Diddly torch and with reason and mercy and ease over whining and having reason bypassed straight to slogans where Socrates would even say: I thought this would have stopped by now, by good for Mr. West.

“James”, “The First Circle”, Pat Metheny Group Matherton Tempo Diagrams

James and The First Circle tempo illustrations by Rudy and Tucker.

The song The First Circle by the Pat Metheny Group, in particular this live version from their album called One From the Road has Been recognized by many people in the music industry as music simply too original to be pigeonholed. . As a gues on jazz albums, Pat with any group was able to sell at the level of pop musicians of their time. The difference between that Metheny group and the pop musicians was that The PMG’s better songs develop over 7-10 minutes – pieces where attention that many escape in to, many have not heard yet.

Happy Birthday, late *great Sandy Dennis
