Hello Steve, The mile high sun can be intense, hope you get the pool cleaning wrapped up before noon. What a voice Tami has. Have a great week, don't work too hard, thanks!
We went to a farmers market afterwards. Waiting in line in the Sun we were not sweating but you could feel your skin cooking. Cool front heading our way! Tami had such a powerful voice, I really enjoyed those albums
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 I live in Wilmington,NC. Debby is coming our way! Have a great day.
I love the dancing women.
Well gosh darn it Martin who doesn’t !
Great show as always with interesting bands. Great to start my Sunday with family. Take care Steve. Art
Thanks Art, I keep dropping a little more country in those shows
Fun pickups Steve. Screaming Blue Messiahs have a bit of a Cramps vibe. Take care.
SBM have been a favorite group of mine for years but I think I’m the only one that thinks so lol. Their lead singer can really belt out a tune in a hard hoarse voice. You have been quiet Will, I see you finally dropped another video
I used to know a girl who rowed in the dragon boat races here. Akido has been shown on here from time to time, it has long been on my radar but never yet came across a copy. File next to Cymande, Osibisa and similar afro-rock fusion bands of the time. Randall Nelson has also talked about Tami Neilson a number of times, her songs sound quite showtune-y here, I could imagine them in a play or film. have a good week Steve
Doug, Akido was something new to me and now I find other people have it, so much for rarity lol. Somehow I have missed people talking about Neilson. She was a nice surprise, my country section has been growing Doug. You also have a great week.
Hello Steve; Starting off with a cultural experience. O.R.B., a 60's psych pop sound is evident. Tami Neilson, Koko Taylor reborn with a touch of broadway. Akido, Afro funk with a 70's sound. Serving Blue Messiahs, guitar & slap drum rock. Kronos Quartet, perform Philip without scratching the Glass. take care, Tina & Pat!!~
I was worried I would not survive a Glass Attack on my ears but it was surprisingly melodic, whew. Neilson was the surprise for me, wow, what a power packed voice. They label the album country, I may have to add a second cube for country music!
Never owned anything by Screaming Blue Messiahs, but you make them sound interesting, so I'll have to check them out. Have a great week Steve.
Michael, their music is so inexpensive. I highly recommend Gun Shy though Bikini Red is also a rocker. They have been a favorite group since the 80s
Hiya Steve! What an eclectic lot this week! Screaming Blue Messiahs is a band that I do not know, but I would snatch that one up without a second thought just based on the cover alone - the P-47 is my favorite WWII-era aircraft. Thanks for another great video!
P 47, thank you Dave. I use to have all those planes memorized. Screaming Blue Messiahs album can be found for cheap. Gun Shy I feel is there best followed closely by Bikini Red. I love both of those albums. Cheap Heat Dave
I almost thought Tammi was singing with Willie Nelson. I like her voice . As always enjoyed the show !!
She has a wonderful voice Dave, it was strong and powerful I was really impressed with her
Hi Steve, nice to Good and Gone. I taped it from a friend back in the 80’s when it first came out. I bought a second hand copy about 20 years or so ago from (Amazon?) and that kick started my vinyl revival. Several years later and I am and much poorer financially but culturally richer 😂. Andy
lol Andy, damn that vinyl and the pocket book but at least when you talk with others they can now comment on how cultural you have become. It’s a trade off Andy
I love the sound of the clarinet! 😆
I actually have the Akido album.
Dave, sorry, maybe I just heard a lot of bad clarinet players in band lol. Somehow I’m not surprised you have Akido. You have very eclectic tastes
This was a real musical education. I didn't know about the expanded Screaming Blue Messiahs release. I'm a big fan of that Kronos Quartet record.
they are a great band. all of their albums are worth having. they were an amazing live act.
Brian, that album came out in 2016. It even had some live material on it. Some of those songs really changed, in my opinion for the better. The Akron us album was very good. I use to have some of their music in CD. Need to pick up some more
INteresting stuff as always, Professor....not one of them are really what I would put on as a casual listen, but some of it would be worth checking out online, for sure, the usual "not in my wheelhouse", I guess. Have a great week...
TC, not even Ms Neilson got you excited, sigh, I have failed you again. I appreciate you at least always tuning in and commenting. It is always a pleasure to hear from you
Hi Mike. Orb are sounding very UK sixties pop psych on that track. Quick sound like they're worth exploring further. Loved seeing the Dragon Boat race. Cheers Mike
Hi Mike, Dragon Boats were a lot of fun but sadly they did not let me help paddle one. I felt so left out Mike. Check out the ORB, I think they fall within your wheel house. The whole album is quite good From Mike to Mike I think your will like it
Seems like you're really busy with the pools. Hang in there - summer is halfway through. I have a Screaming Blue Messiahs record! It's a 7" called Wild Blue Yonder. Thanks for showing the records Steve!
I must say the pool business is running pretty smooth. The going to work at 5 AM 6 days a week does get tiring but most days I’m done between 2 and 3 which is real nice. Fall and winter is coming, quiet season Randy
Steve 🎉. Those boat races were cool 😎.
I liked the Aussie ORB sounds. I look for it. Thanks for the heads up. BTW ORB worked with David Gilmore too. Happy listening 🎶
I did not know ORB worked with Gilmore. I’m sure he approved of that PF sounding track. They would not let me paddle a dragon boat sadly
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 one day grasshopper, you will paddle the dragon boat 😆
ORB sound interesting. Definite funk undertones. The second sample really sounded like Syd Barrett. Tami does have a good voice. It's real throwback 60s/70s soul. Akido sounds amazing. I'm going to have to look that up. And more classical! But really modern stuff with Glass. Great selection again, Steve. Cheers
You would enjoy ORB Andy. It falls in your wheel house. Akido and Tami were both surprises to me. So much good music that we don’t know about Andy. If only we had the room and mo eh to be able to get it all. I showed classical from a group that’s not dead! Bonus.
Have a great week and month😁
Same to you, summer is winding down
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 It can’t come fast enough🥲 I’m ready for cooler weather
Morning Steve. I just finished my lunch... LOL... Early Bird gets the worm. Then he puts it on a hook and catches a fish. I just left. LOL
Damn right Bobby, get that worm so you can get that fish. Who needs sleep, obviously we don’t!
Go Tami!
She was a real surprise, what a voice!
I paid $18.00 for a bacon and egg burrito at an Epilepsy Walk fundraiser! I about had a seizure myself when I got my change! I thought the lady in the food truck said $8.00! The burrito was not much bigger than a burrito from Del Taco or Taco Bell! O.R.B. Has a very cool sound and feel to them. Tami’s got it goin’ on!! Very nice Classical recommendation, Steve. Have a great one.
Wow, $18 for a burrito and you don’t even get a place to sit and relax! I have seen a lot of crazy prices. Mexican food trucks are everywhere in Denver! I always hope I can show something new and interesting Lot of cool music but you know as you look through 50,000 records lol.
Wow what a banger this one was. A real eye opener of new music I hadn’t heard before. Or perhaps more appropriatly a real ear opener. When this video started I thought I would only have 3 words for you Mr. Carlson. Orb, Orb and more Orb. Okay maybe thats more than three words but who’s counting. What a truly terrific band. Talk about channeling the soul of some 60s psychedelic. But they went beyond even that. Aside from the last two tracks which for some reason wasn’t my favorite, this album was incredible. But no it doesn’t stop there. I now have six words for you. Kingmaker, KIngmaker, give me some more damn Kingmaker. What a true surprise and a real gem. I can see where you say David Lynch but I also would add I could see this album being a soundtrack for any Tarantino film. Not to mention she has the voice to rival the legendary Shirley Bassey to contribute her own James Bond theme song for an upcoming film. I dont care what anyone says. For whatever reason I find this album Kingmaker and Tami Neilson to be absolutely compelling. Not in my wheelhouse but it absolutely is now. Much appreciate Mr.Carlson for the introduction.
That is fantastic that I had some music that pleased the ear! I have completed my mission! Tami Neilson was new to me also and wow is she good. Great call about a Tarantino film. Also I had read a review where they also mention Shirley Bassey, nice call out. I plan to find some more of her music, such a powerful voice. There is a lot of great new music that is worth investigating Thank you for the very kind words.
Gidday Steve, nice to see you have some Ozzie & Kiwi records in your collection. One of my favourite Ozzie bands is from the 2970s, Skyhooks, their "Living in the 70s" album (SMX45157) is one you might try and check out, it's on discogs and not cheap. Thanks.
Ken, Skyhooks sound great, love their vibe but wow it is pricey especially shipping from Australia. Guess I will have to check streaming Fantastic music though. Thank you for bringing them to my attention
The O.R.B. samples were great. Tami’s vocals reminds me of Wanda Jackson. I’m in the wrong business. I paid $15 for an Italian sausage sandwich from a food truck at a summer festival.
Mark, the whole point of a food truck was to eliminate all the overhead of a self contained restaurant to serve great food at a better price. Wow has that concept changed! Cheaper to go to a restaurant now. Denver has a billion Mexican food trucks, most have a specific location they set up ever day. Tai Neilson is someone you would appreciate, maybe she tried too many styles but what a voice.
I think that Kronos Quartet record is regularly used in adverts in the UK. I have the Kooyanquatsi soundtrack they did with Phillip Glass. Interesting film..but only to be viewed once though. . Im going through a creative lull at the moment..plus im devoting al ot of my time to watching the olympics..& when I say Olympics I mean The Beach Volleyball.
I have a channel that has all the Olympic events, every country ! I can pull up replays. I have logged in 100s of hours since I have it on at work also! I loved the biking events, the box racing and kayak racing was great fun. 10,000 meters, awesome. Now I’m into rock climbing. Handball was outstanding. I generally watch the women over the men, it just seems more pleasant to watch lol. I just had to make sure you knew your loyal fan base feels cheated by your lack of video output haha. Between the Olympics and Tour de France, I have not played much music.
Kronos Quartet is a name that Mazzy drops quite often.
Look how classy my channel has become Richie. I use to have some CDs from them. Good stuff
Morning Steve. Was that you in one of those dragon boats? Very commendable 😂😂. People love food trucks for some reason. They must be minting it. My goddaughter is in Australia and she’s moving and has a job in Tasmania for six weeks. Maybe she can pick me up some albums😊. Great stuff. Guess it’s not good to go into a customer’s backyard to clean the pool at 5 in the morning when it’s still relatively cool. Cheers.
Well lucky for me we don’t do residential pools, only apartment and HOA complexes. We can get there as soon as we have a little sunlight. Jack, you got people all over the world don’t you. I think I would go visit the goddaughter in Tasmania, I would love to see Tasmania just because the name sounds cool lol. Denver is packed with food trucks, especially Mexican food. Tacos on every street corner Jack
That’s pretty weird Steve! Ha ha. Just kidding! Wow, your library of albums is growing again. Hey, I know you said you’re not a whiskey guy, but get that Willie Nelson “Stardust” album and drink some bourbon!
Get Phases and Stages first and drop some acid.
lol Richie, such a bad influence. Me on acid sounds like a complete disaster !
Michael, Stardust is always rated as a top album, maybe I am becoming more countrified? Who knows, maybe I will try it. As far as albums, another purge will be coming, only so much room
Need to get more Glass. I purged my old ones.
I was a little nervous about buying that but I found it to be quite melodic so let’s call that safe music Jeff lol
When I was on Toronto Island there was Dragon Boat races & festival going on. Good times.
Nice one getting the new Orb Mike. It's been quite a while since they've released anything. I have actually been to Tailem Bend when I was a kid. I don't remember much about it. I had tix to seem them play but they've cancelled all of their shows because of an unspecified injury to an unspecified band member. Sorry Mike they weren't called Frowning Clouds. That was another great garage rock band that a few members of Orb were in with dudes from Ausmutents & Living Eyes. All great bands worth your time Mike. Sassafrass...yep Mike that is fun to say. An NZ rockabilly singer. That is unique. Big voice! Ronnie Lane who woulda thunk? Sounds good that Akido record. Screaming Blue Messiahs I feel like I know, but not sure why. Nope upon hearing them I don't think I know them, but they sound bloody good! Wow Mike really getting your Avant Garde on at the end. Kronos Quartet does Glass. You are a culture vulture. Cheers...Mike
Screaming Blue Messiah had the one hit- I Wanna Be A Flinstone. The song does not do them justice. I have learned some thing about Tailem Bend, they got a great bakery, no record store but some darn tasty pastries. Mike, you ever spent time in NZ. That is a bucket list country for me. It seems to have about everything except guns. Ms Neilson has a heck of a powerful voice, I have become a fan, just part of my down under section of my collection! I am trying to help the masses of VC members become more cultural with all of this classical music. As a Mike, it’s about spreading the love of all music except polka. There is no place for polka
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 Mike I could be the only Australian who has never been to NZ....yet! Records or pastries that is almost an impossible choice!
Interesting albums as usual.
Ive gotten Kronos already because
Philip Glass is a favourite. Isnt that Corroncho 1 and 2 (Phil Manzaneras
Roots from Columbia something for you?
Hasse, I use to have a few Kronos CDs but I’m not going to work on their back catalog. I do like their music though. Figured I should show some modern classical
Based on the cover they could call themselves Frowning Duck Clouds. Another woman empowerment artist. She doesn’t need men until the road needs to be repaved or her pool needs to be cleaned. I like the clarinet. Trombone is the instrument I can’t care for. I bought the 7” of I Wanna Be A Flintstone. I should check out the album.
Screaming Blue Messiah had that one hit Richie. That album is good but I really love their first album Gun Shy. Both albums can be found for cheap. lol, empowerment until you need a pool cleaned, that is funny. I am not a fan of jazz trombone but it’s brass so it gets a pass, clarinets just squeak so much. Amazing my kids didn’t play it to bother me lol.
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 I’m not a fan of the Big Band sound but I do like Benny Goodman.
Thanks for the shoutout! Again , glad you like Ms. Neilson. Apparenly, the Neilsons only pub out one CD in 1996. I'll have to check my hard drives and I'll get back to you. I do have some Blue Messiahs but I'm not sure about that one. (a very blind buy, back in the day) Speaking of Earworms... This one is always in my head. "Don't Call Me Baby" by Voice of the Beehive. ua-cam.com/video/quD5B-la-ug/v-deo.html
Great Darrell, all I need is another earworm song. I have not heard of Beehive but they really had great harmonies. Ms Neilson was pretty amazing, huge thank you for the download and introducing me to her music, pretty amazing stuff
Hi Steve, go down under and then to the west, maybe. What stoner you say? Oh do they do boogie woogie music? O.r.b does it stand for something? I’m full of questions for some reason today. Yea Akido is on the wantlist. Have you shown this record pre flood maybe? Must’ve been another channel. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
I have no idea if ORB has a more deeper meaning Steve, no doubt there is some special meaning that they keep to themselves, probably some Aussie kind of thing. I have not had Akido before but another person mentioned they seen that shown periodically It was new to me! I did take you on a musical journey this week, I am the Walrus- coo coo cu choo
i agree food trucks are pricey, but the food is sooo good! are you familiar with the band CARDIACS ? they are one of my faves. their albums are hard to find and expensive . i scored a CD copy of " heaven born and ever bright " check ,em out! ORB sounds interesrting
Wow Bruce, you’re right, even the reissue of the Cardiacs are expensive. They put out a lot of music. I will listen to some of their stuff but to your point a CD would be the way to go.
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 check out " sing to God "
You're going ok saying it, Tailem Bend has a good bakery, but certainly not a record store...
lol, well good to know about the bakery! Do you live in that area or just visited it on some travels?
@@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147 I live in the same state and have to go through Tailem Bend to get to the state capital, Adelaide.
Great selection, Screaming Blue Messiahs, love 'em, brilliant. Got the O.R.B album a few weeks ago, still not sure, a bit disjointed, I love the heavier tracks like 'Can't Do That' but the Floyd influence just is not for me, never been a fan. Heard of Tami Neilson, but not got any of her albums, reminds me of the first album of Irish singer Imelda May before she sadly went from rockabilly to pop. Can I add a recommendation, which may be to your liking, the London band CROWS have a new album coming out in September but their first, self released EP although hard to find is excellent as are both the full albums, Silver Tongues & Beware Believers. ua-cam.com/video/OWmva0945M4/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/l0-u94OyrHs/v-deo.html
The Crows sounded excellent. I saw one US seller had them but I will try locally first. Totally loved their sound Bug. I have a soft spot for early Floyd so the one ORB track I rather enjoyed. I also have no reference point to their earlier work. Great music. With Neilson, I think she tried to do too many different styles on her albums. I do like her rockabilly music best, it has a wonderful rocking feel to it. Now I need to see how I can get some Crows!
Glad you like the sound of Crows, always unsure of recommending bands to people. Crows are a slow burner, known but not big, I got the first EP in 2016 and saw them do an instore at a record shop in Brighton. I've had a quick look at my local shops inventory and their stuff seems hard to find if you miss it when released.
The term is pool boy, not pool old man. You are subverting a naughty movie cliché. Um, good for you?
Now for something a little more serious: the creation of life on this planet. According to the Bible, among the last things God did before He rested was create all the animals on our planet. It seems that Australia was the last place He worked on. It's like God was using leftover parts for Australia.
"Hmm, I've got a bill left, some fur, webbed feet, spurs, venom, and eggs." Tosses some crazy-looking thing together. "OK, got some spikes, more fur and eggs. Guess I'll put two egg-laying mammals here." Thus making Australia the only place with egg-laying mammals. "Got a pouch, long tail, two giant legs and two small ones. I'll have that tail work as a fifth leg. This guy can stand upright." Laughs imagining the creatures boxing each other with their little front legs. "And another pouch, big ol' honkin' black nose. Oh, I put a lot of those eucalyptus trees here. I'll make this tree hugger love the leaves."
On His rest day, He muses: "What a strange place. I put all those odd animals and deadly insects there. Environment is really tough too. Anyone who lived there would have to be tough. I bet people wouldn't even send prisoners there. They'd have to be mad to the max."
It's been said that the other gods in the multiverse think our God is a slacker and that He likes to hit the Cosmic Bong. It's been said that these gods say, "Look at all the crap he lets happen. Put down the CB and do some work." Notice the lowercase h in that quote. It reflects our God's lowly status among His peers. They even claim God got stoned before He populated Australia. Judging by the names of the animals, I think they could be right: platypus, kangaroo, a koala bear that's not a bear, a wombat that's not a bat, a Tasmanian devil that's not a devil, a King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and an O.R.B. (Overtly Ravenous Bunyip).
Yes, could be that God is a stoner. Which makes me wonder, if God created humans in His own image, are Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, and Tommy Chong the Three Most High Men?
Also, I know God is called Most High sometimes in the Bible. This could be considered another notch for the stoner claim.
Just some thoughts I share for fun. They're not meant to offend a minister's son. Now I'm gonna run.
Till next time, stay groovy, mate.
"Travelling in a fried-out Kombi / On a hippie trail, head full of zombie"
You are the MAN Roman. You have truly explained so many questions that I have had. God was a stoner, why didn’t I see this more clearly. If I had known this Sunday School would have been much more interesting especially as I can bring this revelation to light. No doubt my dad would have appreciated this as a dinner table topics. Yes, this is another chapter in your soon to be book Roman Explains The World, Deal With It!
