Harry Nilsson has come out with yet another good album. This time it's Pussy Cats, produced by John Lennon and featuring the likes of Keith Moon (from The Who), Jim Keltner and Sneeky Pete (both of Joe Cocker's Mad and Jim Horn ft " Dogs Englishmen), (Layla i it and others), Ringo Starr, Klaus Voorman, and of course, John Lennon. Lennon first became acquainted (and obsessed) with Harry back in '68 when they met in Surrey, England. Nilsson .had just finished recording his first album which included a collection of Beatle songs melted together into a musical collage. Several of Nilsson's LPs have featured performances of ex-Beatl- es and seeniinalv thousands of other artists and arouos have recorded Nilsson tunes (Yardbirds, Monkees, Bad-finge- r, The Herb Sweat and . Turtles, Alpert, Blood, i s Tears and on and on and on). A The voice of Harry Nilsson is often heard crossing the boundaries of rock, country-wester- n, easy listening, and jazz, as well as three octaves. He is the King of Overdub and has been known to record a Nilsson choir Judy Zimmerman and Roger Johnson " In a School For Wives" playing of some ninety voices (all his own). Lennon says Harry tonight, Wednesday and Saturday at Howell Memorial Theatre. Nilsson is his favorite group. Lennon's influence is evident on Pussy Cats, especially on the cut, "Subterranean Homesick Blues." a 1965 Dylan song. Several other cuts are remakes of Theatre oldies. "Loop de Loop" contains a goodly amount of the Nebraska Repertory Chubby Checker spirit, "Save the Last Dance for Me" includes a great parody of the old voice over music heart-to-hea- rt lyric recitation, and the final cut, "Rock to close its seventh season Around the Clock," (about the 846th version) ends appropriately.

  • Love As a Fictitious Commodity: Gift-For-Sex Barters As Contractual Carriers of Intimacy

Swader • Olga Strelkova • Alena Sutormina • Viktoria Syomina • Volha Vysotskaya • Irene Fedorova Published online: 7 December 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media New York 2012 Abstract Gift-for-sex (GFS) barters are a niche practice potentially representing the commodification of everyday dating practices. We inquire how GFS exchanges are practiced and understood in contemporary Russia. Second, we situate these in relation to contemporary economic culture. Our project provides answers in two steps based on online content. First, we identify GFS exchange practices within a major dating website. Next, we take the signals exchanged in those dating profiles and display their intersubjective meanings in Russia based on blogs and discussion fora. Our analysis focuses on gender roles and inter-gender conflicts, the use of economic jargon, the link between luxury consumption and sexuality, and under- standings of gift-giving and generosity, in order to show how GFS barters, despite being contractual, carry emotional and romantic content. As such, love is under a constant conversion process, through the medium of the contractual gift, into the fictitious commodity form. Keywords Compensated dating Á Fictitious commodification Á Gift-exchange Á Post-socialist transformation Á Economic jargon Á Sexuality Introduction How does the modern economic culture influence intimate social relationships? Classically oriented scholars have investigated the ways in which capitalism, consumerism, or money are in constant tension with core human sociality.

  • HARRY NILSSON's "PUSSY CATS" Heard in Ages and Manages to Take a Few Mild Satiric Pot Shots at Carly Simon, Among ...And How They Sounded Others)
    communicate all that much, and although I can dig it on its own recycling level, I can't help preferring the kind of artist who deals in more bedrock human concerns than pop music and its creator's relationship to it. So what about the new album? Well, as you may have gathered by now, it contains nothing I'm going to be listening to after my three or four times through it for the sake of my reviewer's conscience. It opens with a passable rendition of Jimmy Cliff's beautiful Many Rivers to Cross,which has a nice neo- Spector production from John (in the vein of hislast album), dead catchy guitar figures, and a vocal by Harry that is an obvious par- ody of John's Primal Screaming-at once hilariously accurate and inappropriate to the song. There's a remake ofRock Around the Clock thatis both 1974 -heavy and almost slavishly accurate but stillwill not cause anyone to rip out theater seats, a Dylan tune treated in the manner ofJump into the Fire asheavy-metal jungle boogie, a symphonic work-out ofSave the Last Dance for Me that in its own way is equally as dreadful and sans soul as the recent hit cover version by the (gasp!) DeFranco Family, and some light bits of whimsey penned by Harry that have made next to no impression on me at all (except forBlack Sails,which has one of the most gorgeous string arrangements I've HARRY NILSSON'S "PUSSY CATS" heard in ages and manages to take a few mild satiric pot shots at Carly Simon, among ...and how they sounded others).

  • The Legendary Sideman
    THE L EGENDARY SI DEMAN WOODWIND PLAYER JIM HORN IS ONE of the world’s greatest session musicians. Few, if any, living musicians can boast such stellar credits: Elvis and Elton. Sinatra and Sting. Waylon and Wynonna. The Stones, the Who, Bob Dylan, and all four members of the Beatles. He was once told by Bruce Springsteen that he is, in fact, a legend. Horn made his mark in the ’60s as part of the Wrecking Crew, the famed Los Angeles studio team. There he played on countless hits, often contributing immortal melodic hooks. He relocated to Nashville in 1983, where he remains a tireless sideman, playing on hit after hit and crisscrossing the globe with high-profile tours and sessions. Fresh off a United States and Canadian tour with Kenny Chesney, the affable Horn shared recollections of some of his most memorable collaborations. SWINGING WITH SINATRA. “We’d spend a whole session rehearsing, so when Sinatra came in at 7:00 p.m., all we’d have to do is play it through and not make mistakes. He always started by coming over to say hi to the horns. He’d say, ‘Nice to have you here. Just call me Frank. See that bar over there? Go have one drink, and that's it. Then get your asses back here, and I'll try to knock out the songs for you so you guys won't hurt your chops.’ A couple of us had a drink, but most of us were afraid to drink before we had to work.” 26 27 “YAMAHA INSTRUMENTS PRACTICALLY PLAY FOR YOU.
