Reino’s Musical Journeys

What are your (four) favorite tracks released in 1976 ? Mine are: Nick Lowe - Heart Of The City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpF6gFTQFC4 In the record store, where I worked [Plexus, Delft], the owner and I made a pact on birthday gifts. Each year we each gave each other (back) the same copy of Stiff Records BUY 1. BTW: my (then future) mother-in- law wasn’t very pleased when we first met and I wore a Stiff t-shirt, saying “Try anything once, except incest and folk dancing” [I was lucky I didn’t wear my other Stiff Records t-shirt, saying “If it ain’t Stiff it ain’t worth a fuck.”] Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes – The Fever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aDLeWoxbms Saw them in De Lantaren (Rotterdam), in 1977. I was dancing and listening only one meter away from Miami Steve ! Stevie Wonder – As https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYQfWJNWe3I This is ‘our song’ between our eldest daughter and me ❤️ The Modern Lovers – Roadrunner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZWoJ8_75Mo When I was a d.j. in La Cave des Chartreux [Bonlieu, France], every evening was divided into two parts: The first part was for the people, who came to dance and romance. I played old rock’n’roll, tangos and waltzes, French hits and some disco. The second part was for the younger ones. Then I played more modern and (as I see it) more interesting music. I bought the new records, every Monday, in Genève. They loved it, when I came ‘home’ with The Modern Lovers. #LifetimePlaylist

#AlternateFridayMusic The cue is #Parody Cause I've been playin' guitar now for 14 years I got music in me comin' out my ears But you ought to know that fact is I'm this good because I practice No my talent ain't as big as it appears And still I see you gettin' all warm and runny from my guitar and the way my fingers burn Martin Mull (featuring Glen Campbell) - Licks Off Of Records https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifg5V9n66NM

This #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #PersonalPlaylist This contains my life's motto Lyrics are in Dutch Als ik ooit eens vijf minuten tijd heb Dan begin ik er beslist eens aan Aan ik weet niet wat Maar je zult zien dat Iedereen er zal verstomd van staan Als ik ooit eens vijf minuten tijd heb Morgen of een andere dag misschien Dan doe ik eens echt Iets waarvan men zegt Nee dat hebben we nog nooit gezien Maar ik heb de hele dag toch al zoveel te doen Eten drinken slapen zoals 't hoort Hele nachten dromen En dan moe zijn tot de noen Enzovoort enzovoort wat 'n leven Maar als ik eens vijf minuten tijd heb Dan kan je er zeker van op aan Dat ik op een keer Maar wie weet wanneer Mogelijk eens aan de slag zal gaan VRT Bigband & Bent Van Looy - Wat een leven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZsL4ooZ4jY

Since I'm doing my #LifetimePlaylist one year at a time, each Sunday, I might as well repeat e.g. 1959 for this #JukeboxFridayNight. The theme being #PersonalPlaylist My four favorite tracks of 1959 are: Art Blakey - Moanin’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cv9NSR-2DwM Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Summertime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDF4_qVgbFU Miles Davis - So What https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylXk1LBvIqU Tom Lehrer – We Will All Go Together When We Go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5GqsQVYHBo Now here's why: Art Blakey was in my parents’ collection. And even now, everytime I play it, I start singing the Hendricks lyrics: Every Evenin' finds me moanin' Yes, Lord I'm alone and crying the blues Yes, Lord I'm so tired of paying these dues Yes, Lord Ev'ry body knows I moanin' Yes, Lord See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bah68kQlnAQ Summertime’s an all-time favorite in many many versions. This is just one of them. But…it has a specific meaning. Once I lived with a French girl in France. Her mother was a huge opera fan and went to both Milan and Paris at least once a year. I bough her the Ella & Louis Porgy & Bess, and we had a wonderful evening, ending in Steuermann, laß die Wacht https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFuDnszGX5g Probably my all-time No.1 album is Miles Davis - Kind of Blue [period] My parents owned three albums by Tom Leher. An Evening (Wasted) With Tom Lehrer contains my favorite song of his. And always remember: Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it.

This #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #Dirty Pete Seeger - Garbage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llyrRwSvpuI

#AlternateFridayMusic The cue is #Bleak Here’s an attempt at a translation of this Dutch song: Here I sit on a garbage dump I look around me sadly I see rags and old bottles Forgive me, I am weeping Yes, I shed a few big tears And I sing with a heavy heart [Chorus] Maybe things will get better tomorrow But they will probably never be ok [2x] For, people, it’s a mess From end to start Or are you progressive ? Ha ! That almost cracks me up ! A peculiar kind of illusion. Heading for the abyss, come what may [Chorus] The world is full of things That people are afraid of One can't handle women And another can't handle wine We’ll share everything fairly You get the sour, and I’ll take the sweet [Chorus] When I’m sick, I call the doctor And he kinda likes that But a radioactive rash And radioactive itching— There are no pills for that And it don’t matter what you do [Chorus] Just between us, people, The world is up and down; It’s a terrible mess— Don’t you agree, sir ? I can’t see the beach at all anymore Between low and high tide. But maybe things will get better tomorrow Even though it will never truly be right [2x] Jeroen van Merwijk - Misschien wordt het morgen beter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql05W24H_SQ

This #JukeboxFridayNight the theme is #AWiderWorld Definitely one of my top-10 favorite tracks of all time. Where Ali starts improvising when Toumani’s daughter enters the studio. [BTW: they are from Mali] Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabaté - Ruby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_81jD5LYYl0

#AlternateFridayMusic The cue is #Vitriol I hate racist blokes, telling tasteless jokes And explaining where people belong I hate ignorant folks, who pay money to see gigs And talk through every fucking song I hate people in night clubs, snorting coke And explaining where your going wrong Well if you agree, then come hating with me And feel free to sing along And I hate pointless status updates on Facebook FYI we were never "m8"s We pretend to be friends on the internet When in real life, we have nothing to say To each other, oh brother I have love for my mother For good times, for music and my mates Yeah I laugh, and live and I have love to give But sometimes all you can do is hate Well I hate them fussy eaters, you cook them fajitas They only eat pizza and chips I hate stepping outside, for a smoke and some guy Coughs, like your lungs are his And I hate queuing up, for festival toilets Especially when you need to shit And I hate the X-Factor, for murdering music You bunch of money grubbing pricks And I hate them magazines, aimed at insecure teens That make ten year old′s race to grow up Hey kids, let's all be anorexic or better Eat chocolate until you throw up Keep your Hollywood stars, and their stupid cars And the Bo-tox, that makes them look fucked Just grow old with grace, have you seen Cher′s face It looks like it's been hit by a truck Passenger - I Hate (Live from the borderline London) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otFmtLe9NvM
