Penn's Picks: Garage/Psych Volume 1 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com Penn's Picks: Garage/Psych Volume 1 With the retro Psych/Garage trend in full effect, I thought it would be fun to kick off the inaugural Penn’s Pick Playlist with a look back to where it all began – the 1960s. Chances are that you’re already familiar with some of the more “mainstream” cuts of the era such as White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane), The End (The Doors) and Hurdy Gurdy Man (Donovan), but I’m going to take you down the rabbit hole to hear some lesser known gems that stand their own alongside their more mainstream contemporaries. Slip Inside This House (1967): 13th Floor Elevators You can’t mention the word psychedelic without mentioning the 13th Floor Elevators. Formed in Austin, Texas in 1965 and led by the Psych legend Roky Erickson, the Elevators were one of the first, and best, representatives of the genre. Slip Inside This House is a cut from their second album, Easter Everywhere, and stands to this day as one of the true, yet lesser known gems of the era. War & Peace (1969): Alexander “Skip” Spence Following his departure from the ill-fated Moby Grape (there’s a lesson to be learned from releasing too many singles at once!), Alexander “Skip” Spence went into the studio to cut his legendary Oar album just a number of months after being committed to Bellevue following his attempt to cut down his Grape bandmates with an axe while in a delusional state. Playing all of the instruments himself, War & Peace is an evocative trip through the ether, culminating with an unexpected foray into Cream’s Sunshine Of Your Love during the outro. Suzy Creamcheese (1967): Teddy & His Patches Suzy Creamcheese is hands down one of the most intense Acid/Punk songs of the era. Following the suspense filled intro which features dialog from Frank Zappa’s The Return of The Son Of Monster Magnet, the song launches into a full-on sonic onslaught, characterized by deranged vocals, a infectious, repetitive organ riff, Psych freakout section, and an unexpected twist that follows. This is primal Garage/Psych at its best! The Other One (1967 / 1970): The Grateful Dead Another band that is synonymous with the Psychedelic 60?s is of course the Grateful Dead. Following the Garage/Pop/Psych nature of their debut album, The Grateful Dead, the band got a bit more adventurous on their follow up, Anthem Of The Sun, which fused together live and studio cuts into an engaging psychedelic patchwork. 1 / 2 Hit Songs Deconstructed Deconstructing Today's Hits for Songwriting Success http://reports.hitsongsdeconstructed.com One of the gems on the album, The Other One, was played on and off throughout the bands career, going through many manifestations in the process. This version, culled from their 5/2/70 performance at Harpur College in Binghamton, captures the band at the height of the dark, evocative psychedelic jamming power. Hurricane Fighter Plane (1967): The Red Crayola Led by Mayo Thomson, The Red Crayola were one of the more “out there” Psych bands of the mid to late 60?s, patching together coherent song forms with full blown freakouts which ultimately precluded the band from attaining any mainstream success (not that they really seemed to care!) One of their more accessible songs, which also happens to be one of the true Psych gems of the era, is the brooding, hazy Hurricane Fighter Plane. And for you trivia junkies, the organ is being played by their labelmate Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators! 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960S Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 P.M., ENS-280
    MUSIC 351: Psychedelic Rock of the 1960s Spring 2015, T 7:00–9:40 p.m., ENS-280 Instructor: Eric Smigel ([email protected]) M-235, office hours: Mondays & Tuesdays, 3:00–4:00 p.m. This is a lecture class that surveys psychedelic rock music and culture of the 1960s. Psychedelic music played an important role in the development of rock music as a predominant art form during one of the most formative decades in American history. Emerging along with the powerful counterculture of hippies in the mid-1960s, psychedelic rock reflects key elements of the “Love Generation,” including the peace movement, the sexual revolution, the pervasive use of recreational drugs (especially marijuana and LSD), and the growing awareness of Eastern philosophy. The main centers of countercultural activity—the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco and the London Underground—drew a high volume of media exposure, resulting in the famous “Summer of Love” and culminating in popular music festivals in Monterey, Woodstock, and Altamont. Students in this course will examine the music and lyrics of a selection of representative songs by The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and other bands closely associated with the burgeoning psychedelic scene. Students will also consult primary source material—including interviews with several of the musicians, influential literature of the period, and essays by key figures of the movement—in order to gain insight into the social, political,

  • Addio a Paul Kantner, “The Brain” Dei Jefferson Airplane
    Addio a Paul Kantner, “the brain” dei Jefferson Airplane È morto a 74 anni il chitarrista Paul Kantner, uno dei fondatori della band Jefferson Airplane. Lo riporta il San Francisco Chronicle. Protagonista della scena musicale della west coast americana, Kantner è stato stroncato giovedì 28 gennaio da un attacco di cuore a San Francisco, la città in cui era nato il 17 marzo 1941. Chi era Paul Kantner? Ecco cosa scrive sul sito ufficiale dei Jefferson Airplane Greg Gildersleeve (1998). Anche se non ha mai scritto o cantato come voce leader nessun brano di successo, Paul Kantner ha avuto un impatto maggiore di qualsiasi altro membro sui Jefferson Airplane/Starship. È suo il record della più lunga, ininterrotta appartenenza (19 anni) alla band, ed è stato a volte l’unico membro delle origini della band presente in eventi con JA. Il suo interesse per la fantascienza l’ha portato a trasformare i Jefferson Airplane nei Jefferson Starship, e, in tutto questo, ha presieduto alla democrazia sregolata e talvolta disordinata della band. Se Marty Balin era l’anima della band, e Grace Slick il suo volto, Paul Kantner potrebbe esserne considerato, the brain, il cervello. | 1 Addio a Paul Kantner, “the brain” dei Jefferson Airplane L’unico nativo di San Francisco tra gli iniziatori degli Airplane/Starship, Paul Lorin Kantner nasce il 17 marzo 1941, da Paul S. e Cora Lee (Fortier) Kantner. Paul aveva un fratellastro e una sorellastra parecchio più grandi. Quando Paul aveva otto anni, sua madre morì; e, ricorderà in seguito, non gli fu consentito di partecipare al suo funerale, ma fu portato al circo.

  • Austin's Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation
    Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978 Travis David Stimeling A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal, Chair Jon W. Finson David García Mark Katz Philip Vandermeer © 2007 Travis David Stimeling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TRAVIS DAVID STIMELING: “Space, Place, and Protest: Austin’s Progressive Country Music Scene and the Negotiation of Texan Identities, 1968-1978” (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) The progressive country music movement developed in Austin, Texas, during the early 1970s as a community of liberal young musicians and concertgoers with strong interests in Texan country music traditions and contemporary rock music converged on the city. Children of the Cold War and the post-World War II migration to the suburbs, these “cosmic cowboys” sought to get back in touch with their rural roots and to leave behind the socially conservative world their parents had created for them. As a hybrid of country music and rock, progressive country music both encapsulated the contradictions of the cosmic cowboys in song and helped to create a musical sanctuary in which these youths could articulate their difference from mainstream Texan culture. Examining the work of the movement’s singer-songwriters (Michael Murphey, Guy Clark, Gary P. Nunn), western swing revivalists (Asleep at the Wheel, Alvin Crow and the Pleasant Valley Boys), and commercial country singers (Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings), this dissertation explores the proliferation of stock imagery, landscape painting, and Texan stereotypes in progressive country music and their role in the construction of Austin’s difference.

  • FINAL SALUTE Each Year We Note the Passing of Influential Creators, Performers, and Institutions
    FINAL SALUTE Each year we note the passing of influential creators, performers, and institutions. These passings occurred between SoonerCon 28 and the original date for SoonerCon 29. American actress and singer Peggy Lipton passed away May 11, 2019. Her best-known acting role was as undercover cop Julie Barnes on The Mod Squad, 1968-1973. She won a new generation of fans when she ran the Double R Diner as Norma Jennings, in Twin Peaks. Doris Day was a big-band singer, TV and film actress, and talk-show host. She won several awards for comedy and popularity. She was also an activist for animal welfare, lending her star power to several organizations bearing her name. She died May 13, 2019. Domestic cat Tardar Sauce was better known as the meme she unwittingly founded: Grumpy Cat. Dwarfism contributed to her scowling face, which graced ads for Friskies and General Mills Honey Nut Cheerios. The frowning feline cashed in her lives on May 14, 2019. The career of the inspired Tim Conway began in 1962 and lasted through TV, movies, voice-overs, and video games. Among his noted appearances were the goofy Dorf; four years on McHale ‘s Navy; eleven years on The Carol Burnett Show; several solo TV shows; and as Barnacle Boy, 1999-2012, on SpongeBob SquarePants. Conway took his final bow on May 14, 2019. Born in China, I.M. Pei moved to America in 1935 and in 1948 became a professional architect. He designed the John F. Kennedy Library, which took until 1979 to complete. In 1962 he was selected by OKC’s Urban Renewal Authority to redesign our downtown.
