OCTOBER 2003 - CASSETTE
TAPE ARCHIVE
Five songs from a tape dated 1980 - a sample of
toying with different song ideas:
To our knowledge, these are
previously never before heard songs. We may be wrong. If so,
let us know
King
Weasel
Yeah Yeah
Wedding Bells - with a short comical interruption ("well, answer
it!")
Until It Gets Better
Song
About Money
Two songs recorded from friends of Daniel around
1980:
Under That Apple Tree
- Tom Gruda - a jam session from a friend of Daniel's
(link removed as it may be copyrighted material)
Lost Without A Brain - Jim S??? - a musician friend of Daniel's
This month's FEATURE LENGTH PRESENTATION
NOTE: Feature-length recordings are best
listened to with a streaming mp3 player - Microsoft MediaPlayer 9.0, for
instance, will begin to play the song before it finishes downloading.
These are lo-fi mono mp3 files, but still rather large, these are about 12
MB each.
We intend to share some longer recordings, and
admittedly, this first lengthy recording is a "slow start" - not one of
the more interesting ones, but an emotional trip WITH Daniel at the news
of John Lennon's death. For Daniel, it might be akin to our hearing
news of Daniel's death - because without ever having met him, he had a
powerful affinity with John through his music.
NEXT MONTH's feature length recording will include
the "Dan and Dave show", a pretended radio-show with an animated exchange
between David Thornberry and Daniel about art ethics.
Future months will include some of the famous
David Thornberry cassette letters, recorded conversations in class, and
some of the 1989 New York trip.
CASSETTE # 220 December 8/9, 1980
Some of the first newscasts of the death of John
Lennon, Daniel's somber reaction in several songs, a vigil held by
fans. This cassette is a low-volume recording, and is mostly
news-casts. If you are interested only in Daniel's compositions,
etc. you can stop on side A at the beginning of the news casts.
CS0220 SIDE A The
tape starts off with some song-writing meanderings / "Heads will always
roll" / sudden total attention to news casts about the murder of John
Lennon. Most of this tape is news casts, but listening to the
lengthy news and occasional comments is an emotional trip with Daniel
through that event.
CS0220 SIDE
B continued news casts and candle-light vigil at the news of John
Lennon's death
