There’s not much to say about this song, Youdopia, other than it’s one of the best songs ever performed (in my opnion). This song was recorded live in the studio, on one of the first eight track recorders, back in the late 1950’s. If you can hear the original with headphones, you’ll hear Ray slapping [...]

Coolest Shit Ever: The Kinks. They are a zillion times better than you think.
17 Jan, 2010 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicI realized recently that I like the Kinks a great deal. You probably do too, if you think about all the songs of theirs you like. Then add the fifteen more that you knew, but didn’t didn’t know were by them, and then three more that
you’ve heard before in commercials (HP’s picture book commercial from [...]
A Couple Of Wilburys and a Prince Send Off George Harrison, The Pirate
8 Oct, 2009 in fnord, music, wisdomI wanted to share these George Harrison videos with you, Youdopia. Why? Because I like you. You got a pretty mouth. I’m tired, and grumpy, so I’m not going to say much, other than Prince kicks ass on My Guitar Gently Weeps, which is at the George Harrison Memorial show. I kind of thought it [...]
Cool Beans! The Alloy Orchestra Scored the Music for A New Cartoon, Zoot Rumpus.
8 Sep, 2009 in fnord, humor, musicThis is pretty cool, Youdopia. My cousin, Terry Donahue (the fella on the left) and his band, the Alloy Orchestra, have written and performed the music to a new cartoon. They usually score new music for old silent films, and this is something new for them. The ‘toon is called Zoot Rumpus, and it’s as [...]
The Tortoise and The Hare, Or.. Why John Paul Jones > Jimmy Page
31 Aug, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicVale, Youdopia. John Paul Jones’ new band is totally awesome. I don’t like them, but they kick nine different varieties of ass. And… when you see the footage, and hear the harmonies, bass, keyboards, etc… you cannot find the senior citizen in the group. Them Crooked Vultures is a great band. A real band. A [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Lou Reed Singing Fly Into The Sun
10 Jun, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicI have been on a bit of a Lou Reed kick lately. Today it is the album New Sensations. My favorite song from that album is Fly Into The Sun. It’s a lovely piece of music, simple and eloquent, like Lou can be at his best. Lou Reed is pretty amazing, and this song is [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Led Zeppelin Does A Live Cover Of Elvis Presley’s Mess O’ The Blues.
15 May, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicYoudopia, you know I love my Led Zeppelin, and I love me some Jimmy Page (all hail). This is from the second Led Zeppelin bootleg CD I ever bought. It is from a BBC concert. Right after this song ends, they go into a smoking version of Buffalo Springfield’s For What It’s Worth. Great stuff [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Led Zeppelin Plays James Brown’s Sex Machine Live
2 May, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicYoudopia, I’m continuing my series of Led Zeppelin live cover songs. This is James Brown’s Sex Machine, recorded in Los Angeles on 3/25/75. The LA gigs were always magic, even in 1977, when Zeppelin was much more pomp than circumstance (in my opinion). In 1975, their LA shows were amazing.
Led Zeppelin’s version of [...]
Craziest Shit Ever: Old Computer Parts Used To Play Bohemian Rhapsody
24 Apr, 2009 in craziest shit ever, fnord, musicYoudopia, this is the Craziest Shit Ever. For real. Some guy recreated the classic Queen song, Bohemian Rhapsody, using vintage computers, equipment, and components. It’s amazing. It’s also six minutes long, so you may want to scrub through it a bit, but… it’s really amazing. The amount of work is staggering. Tech blog Geeklogie turned [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Rod Stewart Joins Jeff Beck Onstage At LA Club
23 Apr, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicHello, Youdopia. How’s it going? In light of the recent Jeff Beck Hall of Fame post, featuring Mr Jimmy Page, I thought it apropo to post this video of a spectacular reunion. On April 21, 2009 Jeff Beck was performing a gig, and Rod Stewart came out to sing with him. This is spectacular because [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Led Zeppelin Performing Stand By Me
22 Apr, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicMy friends, I give you another Led Zeppelin live nugget, from Osaka 10/2/72. The boys perform the Ben E King classic, Stand By Me. They pull it off pretty well, making it the Coolest Shit Ever. Enjoy the music.
Music: Led Zeppelin Playing Louie Louie And Sly Stone’s Everyday People.
15 Apr, 2009 in Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicThis is Led Zeppelin playing Louie Louie, and Sly Stone’s Everyday People. It’s from the same show that was released as How The West Was Won, but it didn’t make the official release. It’s too bad. I like it. I think it starts at the end of Thank You, with the organ, and just rolls [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Jimmy Page And Jeff Beck Playing Together At The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Ceremony
7 Apr, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicYoudopia, you know of my affinity for Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. Last weekend, Jeff Beck was inducted, by Jimmy Page, into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, and it was cool. The super cool part is what you’re about to watch, which is Jeff Beck (same age as Jimmy, by the way… [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: The Rolling Stones 1972 – Sweet Virginia Live
25 Mar, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, music, wisdomYoudopia, I love music. I love music with soul. It’s trite, but the Rolling Stones once were amazing. This clip from 1972 of the boys doing Sweet Virginia live. The audio is pro mixed stereo, and the performance is outstanding. The Stones at their best. Guess what? It’s the Coolest Shit Ever. Keef rocks, Mick’s [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Led Zeppelin Plays Georgia On My Mind (Live, Salt Lake City 1973)
21 Mar, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, musicHowdy youdopia. My friend Gus, who goes by August, now that he’s in the September of his years, says Youdopia hasn’t been updated since January. He is, of course, lying because I told him cold fusion doesn’t work. Anyhoo, this last month has been … how do you say… shitty and amazing. So I blog [...]
A Lovely Little Clip Of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page’s Whole Lotta Love Solo
16 Mar, 2009 in Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnordHappy Monday, Youdopia. I am a little under the weather today, so I will give you this wonderful little clip of Mr Jimmy Page playing the theramin, and the Whole Lotta Love solo from the 07 reunion. I found this clip while reading about an underground effort to round up all the footage from [...]
Coolest Shit Ever: Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers LP
9 Mar, 2009 in Coolest Shit Ever, fnord, musicI love this album. I haven’t listened to it in awhile. It’s vital, and raw, and alive, and masterfully done. It’s as soulful as Otis Redding and yet it’s a rock and roll band. In the words of George S Patton, “God help me, I do love it so.” Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main [...]
My Humps As Intrepreted By Miss Alanis Morissette. It’s pretty funny.
8 Mar, 2009 in fnord, humor, musicYoudopia, I may be the last person in the world to see this. It’s happened before. I just stopped saying, Fershizzil my nizzel, so… excuse me if you’ve seen this. It’s Alanis Morissette covering the great Fergie torch song, “My Humps”. It’s funny, and too long….. like me.
My Youdopia, I bring you a song by the great Roy Harper, with none other than the zosophonic one, Jimmy Page, on slide guitar. It’s a live track called the Male Chauvinist Pig Blues. Jimmy has done a handful of albums and even a tour, with Roy Harper, and this track is one of [...]
