Today, in Musical History, October 26th:

1911: Mahalia Jackson, b. New Orleans, LA

[Angharad]

Mahalia's music was a staple in my home growing up. Ironically, it was a pagan household. 

[Snagg]

Heh. Not mine. Nat King Cole was too black for my household. 

I myself had a pretty intense aversion to any kind of religious music, until I learned how to separate the message from the performance.

Cover Of The Day:

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", #30 Pop, 10/26/68 - Iron Butterfly, of course; Their only Top 40 hit, even in it's severely truncated form, it remains the heaviest example of psychedelia that ever rumbled through the AM airwaves.

Nash the Slash felt no particular reverence for it, though. (Couldn't resist the urge to turn it into a bad trip, I guess.) From his 2008 album, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Nash"

Today, in Musical History, October 28th:

1997: The Flaming Lips release their 8th, literally most-physically-difficult-to-listen-to album, "Zaireeka".

Maybe, one of these days, I'll rig up four different stereos in the back yard and figure out a way to cue all four CD's up at the same moment.....



It's odd to post just one song from this sprawling concept; It's like having an entire orchestra playing an entire symphony with a dozen movements - 

But listening only to the flute section of the woodwinds play just one movement - Not even the clarinets, oboes or bassoons. The overall, total effect goes unheard. The listener can only barely begin to imagine the whole experience. Some day, man....

If you manage to synchronize all four CDs, I hope you record the result and post it on YT.
