>>6129245 Based OP, starting with Vashti Bunyan I discovered her on 4chan a few years back and I'd love to thank the one posting this back then. It was Another Diamond Day. Maybe it was you.
>>6129245 >>6130412 >>6133848 >>6133849 There is a subtle sadness, angst, and regret that defines the undertow of 60s music. I think about how WW2 was not a distant memory for them, and the artist being surrounded by victims and people that have lost greatly. It was a time of great change, and the slow and burning realization that they had supportet the wrong side side all along, is not a confortable one. Where obvious lies from the east was spreading, that jew was killed in "consentration camps" that looked like gulaks next to the eastern front. That the germans had sendt jews in showering halls to kill them with gas, and then used what looked like a industrial bakery to turn them into a fine powder(and also made soap out if them), instead of killing them like how the sovjet killed millions: digging a mass grave and shooting people in the back of their head. If somebody just looked at the train tracks, and pointed out that it was the sovjet standard, this could have been avoided, but people were too tired, as sovjet influences crawled into the universities and the liberal political movements. A time of slow decay.
Also an interesting thing to look for if you enjoy 60's music is to dig the many Airchecks available on archive.org. Like the ones from KHJ (the real don steele for instance, you can hear this in the last tarantino movie btw) or radio caroline. Shit quality for most but kinda fun to listen to.
>>6136991 >this shitty timeline Are you joking? The 60s were the beginning of the globohomo stuff we're seeing now. If anything we're just reliving the same exact things that happenened back in those days. The Vietnam war, president Kennedy's assassination, the black panther party and the weather underground gaining traction, hippies going around doing drugs and being pretentious snobs, college kids being brainwashed into hating their gender, parents, country, and themselves by their professors and (((psychiatrists))), the media painting left wing activists as the good guys despite the amount of property damage and violence they caused, negreos going around committing armed robbery, murder, rapes, etc. and judges giving them a slap on the wrist. The only thing that's changed is America got browner.
This version is pretty good, recorded as Giles, Giles & Fripp with Judy Dyble before they recorded it as King Crimson ( here for those who don't know it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlKrH07au6E )
>>6141720 No idea why >>6141717 said that, but I don't like the guy either. I remember a story by Dave Van Ronk. Van Ronk made an arrangement for "House of the Rising Sun". He came up with the chords and structures we all know basically, adapting a song from the traditional folk repertoire. Dylan heard the rendition, decided to copy that, and called Van Ronk to know if it was ok if he was recording it. Turns out he had already done it.
Well this version was covered by The Animals anyway, and Dylan's version was mostly forgotten.
>>6136320 The Illuminatibrenamed themselves Communists. And here we are. Generations that have sqaundered their resistance for a pocketful of mumbles- such are promises.
>>6136781 One of the few songs to start in a minor key and go to a relative major in the chorus. Dark, brooding, mysterious intro with a subtle bass line to carry the vibe, then a bright awakening at the theme of the song. Also introduced the theremin to folks- overall a great song making use of new tech and techniques and using the one to inform the other.
>>6137077 Because the Communists planted their seeds in the post-war calm, killing God in the process. It will not hold- foolishness is bound in the heart of a child but the rod shall drive it out. My generation made farce of the concerned parents regarding 'jungle music' and dancing, but here we are. The "innocent" Beatles introduced a whole generation to drugs, Eastern mysticism, and unbridled empty sexuality devoid of meaning or merit. The signs were there all along.
>>6141746 >My generation Are you an actual boomer? Also, just throwing this out there, technically the Silent Gen were the ones who started the hippie movement.
>>6129245 Whoa lol, I was just listening to her yesterday and I'm surprised to see her on /wsg/. I only found her through recommended videos on youtube. I didn't think anybody else knew who she was. Quite surprising to see her on here.
The documentary about the Wrecking Crew was pretty good to learn more about the session musicians from the 60s.
Although it was pretty sad IIRC, with the 70s etc and the end of the era for them (bands wanted to perform their song themselves in the studio, in the end it was probably better to have real talents represent themselves instead of hiring pros)
two legendary bass players, Carol Kayes and Joe Osborn
>>6136844 I love this cosy imagery of the song which is woven in knots by the various instruments and vocals around each other. I also love the version by The Buffoons which came out shortly after this which is sung in male voices but I'm too dumb to make a webm of it.
From Improvisation (When I Lay My Burden Down / Rosie) recorded: February, 1966 Performer: Hillery, Mable; Performer: Lomax, Alan; Performer: Williams, Big Joe; Recordist: Halifax, Joan
I love 60's music, but what the point posting songs everyone have heard a thousand times? I mean the fucking beatles and beach boys, the kinks, california fucking dreaming... come on. I love them, but If I want to hear 60's famous songs I'd go find a spotify compilation. I feel like this is all the songs featured on Forrest Gump. We can do better
>>6160314 >According to Jerry Samuels (billed as Napoleon XIV), the vocal pitch shift was achieved by manipulating the recording speed of his vocal track, a multitrack variation on the technique used by Ross Bagdasarian in creating the original Chipmunks novelty songs. At the time the song was written, Samuels was working as a recording engineer at Associated Recording Studios in New York. Samuels used a variable-frequency oscillator to alter the 60 Hz frequency of the hysteresis motor of a multitrack tape recording machine. He first recorded the rhythm track, then overdubbed the vocal track while slowing the tape at the end of each chorus (and reciting the words in time with the slowing beat), so when it was played back at normal speed, the tempo would be steady but the pitch of his voice would rise. Some tracks were treated with intermittent tape-based echo effects created by an Echoplex. Samuels also layered in siren effects that gradually rose and fell with the pitch of his vocals.
