I'm looking for a thing I heard on the radio in SJ years ago. It's like spoken word story telling over jazz music, with a surreal bent to it. I've been searching for the genre I was hearing since then, but I've had no luck. The closest things I can find are William S. Burrough's recordings. Does anyone have any idea what this style of music is called, or what some good stuff with that kind of sound is?

A lot of stuff like that came out of the Beat Generation (of which Burroughs was arguably core). I used to have this box set and it's filled with spoken word over jazz. Some of it is corny because it hasn't aged well but there is some great stuff (Kerouac reading from On the Road, Ginsberg doing America).

Anyone know of artists that sound like Disclosure without the super hammy vocals?

Would this be the best thread to ask for specific song suggestions to fill a very eclectic 30+ hour playlist? I'd be looking for a lot of genres including, but not limited to, 50s doo-wop, latin jazz, texas/country swing, 60s dad rock, big band, truck driver, classical, old blues (willie dixon/elmore james type), stride piano, comedy, etc. Or would I perhaps be better off asking in the pyf/request forum?

Vocals are fine and they can even be sort of cheesy, but the Sam Smith white guy R&B poo poo sounds horrible to me and ruins it. Kind of. Most other house artists are going to be more "dj friendly," which in practical terms means their tracks are going to last about twice as long as they should and not have the verse/chorus/verse structure with decent lyrics like you get from disclosure. Here are a couple songs that are good in that vein though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xJ6zii59pk https://soundcloud.com/markknight/the-fog-vs-chus-ceballos-been-a-long-time-mark-knight-remix-wunderground-premiere Or maybe listen to Justice or something.

I'm hardly super qualified to weigh in on this but isn't there a long tradition of vocal house music that, if not strictly designed for home listening, at least functions perfectly well as such? I guess stuff like Blaze or Romanthony isn't really what someone who likes Discloure is looking for tho

Yeah and there are radio edits and such that eliminate the minute long intros and x3 repeated breakdowns but IMO still miss out on the pop/organic/high energy sensibilities that make disclosure so good. Like you can have an "at home" listening track but it won't necessarily sound like disclosure. Romanthony was a good suggestion though

I was listening to some Sam Cooke albums earlier and they got me feeling pretty disappointed. He was an amazing soul singer and he did record two or three really good albums (the best being Night Beat and Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963) and loads of great singles, but depressingly, a lot more of his recorded output than should have been was just gutless pop standards and Broadway fluff, buried under all these harps and string orchestras to the extent that they sometimes end up sounding like something out of a Disney animated movie from the 1940s. Aside from the songs he wrote himself (of which there were fortunately many) there was little that I think really matched his talent. Anyway, I'd like to request any recommendations in general from the same era (the 1960s pre-British Invasion) which are in the same broad rhythm and blues / early soul / rock and roll category but without being MOR drowning in its own production or anything. I'm thinking along the lines of Gary U.S. Bonds and "Quarter To Three". (Bit vague / broad, sorry.)

Mustang Sally and Midnight Hour are the first things that come to mind. A personal fave is Martha and the Vandellas - dancin in the streets More rockin' in that category might be something like Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels.

Ah, I'm into both of those artists already. Most of my CD collection is stuff like that, really. I'm into all the Stax and Atlantic stuff, as well as some Motown (mostly difficult because a lot of the Motown albums are hard to find on CD), which is why that Sam Cooke live album appeals to me as much as it does. A lot of what I look for now is admittedly on the more obscure end of the spectrum; the sort of thing that went out on labels like Okeh and Sue in the 1960s. I guess the problem is that there doesn't really seem like there's a whole lot left that I haven't heard yet. I am bitterly, bitterly disappointed by those Sam Cooke albums - far more so than I should be, if I'm honest, because let's face it, it's only pop music. They just feel like an egregious waste of his talent; the albums he recorded toward the end of his life (Night Beat, Mr Soul, Ain't That Good News etc) are, as I noted, broadly speaking much better, but it's disappointing that they came so late in his career. (I appreciate this post and the last one aren't really in the ambit of this thread, but in the absence of a general music chat thread I feel like I need to put it somewhere.) (Mitch Ryder also recorded an album where he sang MOR slush backed by a string orchestra for a whole side of it - it is also risible.)

I can forgive (and forget) the slush in the light of the good stuff, but I completely understand the disappointment. It seems that our musical tastes overlap at this point though and thanks for mentioning quater to three. It's just the kind of thing I want for my playlist. The only other thing that comes to mind at this moment is stuff like the Marvelettes or the Shirelles. Got girl groups on my mind I guess.

dee eight posted:I can forgive (and forget) the slush in the light of the good stuff, but I completely understand the disappointment. Yeah, I mean, I don't dislike that kind of Great American Songbook thing - I like it when Sinatra does it, and I like it when Ella Fitzgerald does it. And Ray Charles is an artist who recorded good music after he "went middle-of-the-road" or whatever you want to call it. But for whatever reason, I just can't seem to feel it with Sam Cooke. I guess it's because I knew his singles and that terrific live album before I tried his wider discography, and it just didn't feel like the "real" Cooke to me. I knew that Cooke did loads of MOR stuff for a while but I don't think I'd anticipated just how pervasive it was in his discography. Like, just about all four of his Keen albums, then around half his RCA albums were all in the trad pop style. There's stories about how Sam Cooke was able to blow Little Richard off the stage when they toured Britain on the same bill in the early sixties, but you wouldn't have known it from his albums. And then, of course, there's Live At the Harlem Square Club and later albums like Night Beat showing you exactly what he was capable of and it becomes doubly disappointing. I'd have been better off just getting The Best of Sam Cooke, to be honest. Still, I suppose it's probably not quite as disappointing as the Coasters album where they did Tin Pan Alley songs. Edit: Oo-err, that's a lot of words about oldies music.  Sorry, I feel passionately about my music, as you can probably tell.  quote:The only other thing that comes to mind at this moment is stuff like the Marvelettes or the Shirelles. Got girl groups on my mind I guess. Sure, that's something I'd be keen to try. I love Amy Winehouse and she was influenced by all those pre-Beatles girl groups. If you like "Quarter To Three" check out the album Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance) by the Coasters if you aren't already familiar with it - with the possible exception of Junior Walker and the All-Stars' recordings, there is no other Motown album quite like it. I would also recommend (just as a freebie  ) a trio of fairly obscure British R&B bands from the same era - Simon Dupree & the Big Sound (who later became Gentle Giant), Zoot Money's Big Roll Band and Cliff Bennett & the Rebel Rousers. I'm into all that sort of thing as well.

I discovered all three because they were stated influences of Dexys Midnight Runners, of all bands. That first Dexys album is one of my favourites.  The whole retro soul thing is what I was into in my last few years at school, when I a) started taking my saxophone playing a bit more seriously; b) saw The Blues Brothers for the first time; and c) discovered bands like the Specials, Secret Affair, Ian Dury & the Blockheads and Dexys Midnight Runners who were all popular when my mum and dad were my age. I sort of lost touch with it for a few years in university when I decided I'd try learning guitar and started listening to AOR of all things (Journey, Boston, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi and a whole ton of obscurities), but more recently I realised that music didn't mean anything to me, so in the past year or so I got back into the stuff I used to follow, and also rediscovered all the old soul and R&B stuff I used to love, and also new bands and new artists.All those British Invasion era albums are treasure troves in the "you might also like" sense - you just look at who they were covering and look them out. I'm pretty sure I never would have discovered the Soul Sisters if Cliff Bennett & the Rebel Rousers and the Spencer Davis Group hadn't covered "I Can't Stand It".
