1973/74 | Michael Jackson's Year In Review | the detail. Hotney 15 Streams • 2 years ago

1973 and 1974 saw the Jackson 5 truly go global with the brothers touring Japan, West Africa, Australia and South America, as well as them embarking on a successful run of performances in Las Vegas.

The schedule was now becoming predictable for the group, recording was followed by constant promoting and that followed by back-to-back concerts and so and so on. At the end of 1974, the Jackson 5 was allowed their first month break since they hit the big time 5 years before, but could it go on much longer?

#soundgarden #pearljam #templeofthedog #grunge

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Still a staple of rock radio to this very day, the Seattle supergroup Temple of the Dog would release their only album in April of 1991 that was self titled. What may surprise people is that the album wasn’t a big hit initially and it stirred up controversy and bad feelings afterwards. That’s what we’re going to discuss in today’s video.

Temple of the Dog would get their start almost a year before their record came out in March of 1990 when frontman Andrew Wood of the up and coming seattle rock band mother love bone would pass away due to a drug overdose. Former soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell was friends with Wood and even lived with him for a period of time. According to Gruntruck Drummer Scott Mccullum who talked to cornell around this
time he would reveal in the mark yarm book everybody loves our town. “I remember chris
being really pissed at Andy shortly after he died. I was really surprised by that. He
was really mad and upset that he had done what he did. He was really hurt.”

Cornell who was on the road with Soundgarden at the time would immediately pen two tracks about Wood titled ‘Reach Down’ and ‘Say Hello 2 Heaven’ that would eventually make their way onto the temple of the dog album. Upon writing the songs Cornell would provide demos of the tracks to Wood's girlfriend. Eventually Wood's former bandmates in mother love bone and future pearl jam guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament would hear the tracks and be blown away. They would end up pushing Cornell to release the material. Cornell would recall “My initial thought was I could record them with the ex-members of mother love bone as a tribute single to andy. I got a phone call from jeff saying he thought the songs were amazing and let’s make a whole record. The record would be made up of material Cornell wrote and recorded and material the members of mother love bone recorded before and after Wood’s death.

It was during the rehearsals that Cornell came up with the song hunger strike that he thought was a filler song to round out the album to ten songs. Also present during the rehearsals was singer Eddie Vedder who had just flew in from California to audition with Wood’s former bandmates in a new group they put together called Mookie Blaylock that would eventually rename themselves Pearl Jam.

Cornell would remember “Eddie was sitting there kind of waiting for a mookie blaylock
rehearsal and i was singing parts and he kind of humbly but with some balls walked up to
the mic and started singing the low parts for me because he saw it was kind of hard.

We got through a couple of choruses of him doing that and suddenly the lightbulb came
on in my head. This guys voice is amazing for these low parts. History wrote itself
after that , and that became the first single.” And Vedder would appear on the other tracks "Pushin Forward Back," "Your Savior" and "Four Walled World.

Also contributing to the record would be future pearl jam guitarist mike mcreedy and soundgarden drummer matt cameron. And while the album was meant to be a tribute to Andy wood it did create some bad blood as soundgarden guitarist kim thile (prnounced like tile, but with h) would tell author mark yarm “the initial purpose of temple of the dog to be a tribute to andy wood, was not the concluding purpose. I think to be a tribute to Andy wood there were a lot of people who were close to andy like his brothers who probably should’ve been involved .It became something else, it became a Chris Cornell solo record with some of his friends.” he’d conclude. Andy’s brother kevin wood would express some anger over not being included telling the same author “I fully expected to be included in that project although they never called me. I was pretty pissed off at the time i didn’t get to play on that or even considered to be asked”.

The band would record the record at Seattle’s london bridge studios with renowned producer rick parashar who in the near future would work with both Pearl Jam and alice in chains. Parashar and Cornell would

“Kill For You” Lyrics:
I like the way you touch my face
I like the way your fingers taste
In my mouth
And in my heart
I like the way you shift your gaze
Pull me back when I run away
And I guess you were always right
I'd love you until the day I die

So go easy on me
I still love you baby
I’d still kill for you
I would kill for you
Tell me what do you need
Tell me who I should be
Who I’ll kill for you
I would kill for you
Oo

I like the way you curse my name
Never knowing what each day will bring I guess that you were right
And pardon my mistake
I'll never be the one that got away

So go easy on me
You're still all that I see
I would kill for you
I would kill for you
Tell me what do you need
Tell me who I should be
Who I’ll kill for you
I will kill for you
Oo

So go easy on me
You’re still all that I need
I would kill for you
I would kill for you

So go easy on me
You’re still all that I need
I would kill for you
I would kill for you
Oo

Harmonize - You Better Go (Official Music Video) Hotney 15 Streams • 2 years ago

"You Better Go" Is A Heartfelt Track That Dives Deep Into The Complexities Of Love And Relationships. Harmonize Delivers An Emotionally Charged Performance, Blending Modern Afropop With Traditional Rhumba Rhythms. The Song Explores The Tension And Frustration Of A Relationship Plagued By Mistrust And Misunderstanding. The Lyrics Capture The Pain Of Feeling Unappreciated, With Lines Like "Always On My Phone, Looking To See Who’s Texting Me, Strangely, You Don’t See Anybody," Expressing The Anxiety Of Constant Surveillance.

Harmonize Touches On The Emotional Toll Of Such A Relationship, Where Love Has Turned Into A Burden, Symbolized By The Phrase "My Love Has Turned It To A Stick, This Is Love, Not Lust." The Chorus, "You Better Go, I'll Let You Go," Is A Powerful Declaration Of Self-Worth, Signaling The End Of A Toxic Love Story. The Track Is Both A Plea For Peace And A Declaration Of Independence, As The Artist Acknowledges The Need For Closure And The Return To A Simpler, More Peaceful Existence.

The Song's Rhythmic Rhumba Beats Add A Danceable Groove, Contrasting With The Weight Of The Lyrics, Making It A Perfect Track For Those Who Have Experienced The Highs And Lows Of Love. Harmonize's Smooth Vocals And The Infectious Melody Make "You Better Go" A Standout Track That Resonates With Anyone Who Has Struggled With Love, Trust, And The Need To Let Go.

How Weezer & The Blue Album Briefly Made Geekery Cool Hotney 15 Streams • 2 years ago

Weezer were a revelation for 90s alternative rock. Heavy metal and comic books were how Rivers Cuomo was raised. Kiss and the X-Men were the Gods that he praised. And while Kurt Cobain also loved 70s Arena Rock and Marvel Comics, he never admitted to it in song. Devo and They Might Be Giants had set the groundwork, but Weezer proved definitively that nerds could indeed rock. As well as saving the hair metal guitar solo from obsolescence, on the band’s first album Cuomo wove tales of unravelling mental health, absent fathers and romances never attempted, told through the lens of personal minutiae and pop cultural obsession. Intimate and arena rock in equal measures, this is the story of how Weezer made The Blue Album.

Tears For Fears - Dancing To Their Own Trauma ("Mad World") | New British Canon Hotney 15 Streams • 2 years ago

Tears For Fears didn’t quite fit in. Not style conscious enough to be New Romantic but too Smash Hits to be the next Joy Division. Not quite a synth-pop band, more a pop band that used synthesisers. Before U2 took over, Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith were briefly the biggest band in the world, claiming two US Billboard number ones with a shuddering sonic maelstrom questioning authority and a slice of Cold War paranoia with the vibe of “The Boys of Summer”. But before that they were the po-faced therapy boys, drowning their sorrow and dancing to the sound of their own childhood trauma. This is New British Canon, and this is the story of “Mad World”.
