It’s not music but I’m listening to it
“Oh Gods! That was HILARIOUS!!!”

Never in my wildest dreams did I think Bowling for Soup would do something with Hanson. Let alone in a music video that is essentially a Scooby-Doo chase montage. But here we are and I’m loving it.

I’m very interested in early recordings, it was a big transitions from live music only to “Oh my God! Do I really sound like that?”. There were a lot of issues with recording like how they recorded at a different speed than playback so old blues singers sound tinny and nasally rather than bluesy or the old microphones where you had to shout into them to get a deflection.
I find the best stuff is the old folk/country songs. I’m sure that a lot of it was re-recorded in the artists’ lifetime but at least they lived long enough to do that as opposed to the old blues guys who seemed to die before age 30 or spent long periods in jail. So, I give you from 1928 a yodeling cowboy.
They say Louis played the trumpet incorrectly but I always thought he learned to play in bars and similar venues rather than a music hall designed with acoustics in mind so he had to play loud. I can imagine sitting in a hot bar in Summer drinking whiskey and listening to Louis.
I really like Gershwin from the early Jazz era, a real man ahead of his time. This is from 1924, almost 100 years ago. It’s interesting how jazz moved away from its classical influence then went back to it later making this seem more modern. He was heavily copied by later people, I guess that’s what makes music timeless.

And if you have 25 minutes to kill! (I’m sure I’ve shared before but this is an epic monster of prog proportions), live in the studio, too
