is great. or he was (he died in 1999). his music still is great. been listening to an anthology of his musics from the 70s to the 90s and what impresses me most how he mixes all these influences, always making it sound organic, never forced or spliced together. |

moon. dog. is. great. |

in the late nineties he developed a love for Viking history. his look is even more amazing if you take in account that he was blind from the age of 16 (which he was in 1932). |

i think this music would be to hard to get into for me..maybe one day my brain will widen though..i hope.. |
||||||||

I think you'd like this. it doesn't sound that weird, that's the thing. the uniqueness is more insidious. it kind of creeps up on you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see.. you think 'the music of moon dog' would be a nice starting album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I haven't heard enough to give any real recommendations except the anthology I've been listening to, which is called "The German Years - 1977-1999" and came out a few months ago (on Roofmusic), I think. it's one cd with a compilation and a cd with his last ever concert in 1999. |
||||||||

I can share it for you, but I can't rip it at the moment, as my cd-drive is (still) broken. I wanted to put up a snippet of music as an example, but I can't even do that. I could rip it tomorrow, though. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
actually the samples on the site are very accessible and quite cute/endearing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would be really cool since there very little i can find on slsk...maybe you could only rip couple of songs you like the most or something..if it's that good im going to buy me a copy (if i can find it that is). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would be cool, the website's shit is, eh, out of date. He seems like a fucking badass, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those sound real interesting - it's only those 4 clips, right? and what s this?? How to order: Write to: Ilona Sommer Schillerstraße 49 48155 Münster Germany phone/fax: 0049-251-65978 i hope i can get it in a regular shop.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
my brother gave it to me for christmas and he works in a pretty regular cd-store, so it shouldn't be that hard to find, seeing as it's new. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll rip the compilation-cd tomorrow, you can then give that a try. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
excellent! i might even look it up in the shop prior to that :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's just some happy instrumental stuff, strong on beat, but neither greatly innovative nor skillful in any way, so that's why I wanted to hear the new stuff.. the snippets ARE charming however, like I said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a small update - I've ripped the cd's, I'll be sharing them later on tonight. :) also made a mistake in the viking-story - he moved to New York in 1943 - it was then that gave himself the Viking outfit. he disappeared from the streets of Manhattan somewhere in the sixties and also dumped the outfit.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i went to a record shop today to see if i could find it, but in the middle of browsing i had to leave coz some people can't do shit without me, but unless it's in the jazz/audiophile section they don't have that record. |

Indeed Moondog is great. Impeccable taste, qrter. |
||||||||
|

they played some moondog on trl last week, it was number 4 on the countdown. too bad they waited until he died to put him on there, those bastards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hm. Maybe they can arrange a posthumous duet with him and Christina Aguilera. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now that would be selling out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What the fuck?!? Why haven't I heard of this guy before?!? I'll check it out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aw dead guys can't sell out. Unless they arrange to sell their organs and get buried stuffed with money. I guess. |

qrter, did you have a chance to put some on-line? I would very much enjoy hearing samples of the newer stuff. thank you |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
the nicest post I'm ever going to make in my whole life sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sent an e-mail to the adress in your profile. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone singing with Christina Aguilera is a sell-out. the air she breathes is a sell-out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if that's "moondog 1", that should be coming in the post tomorrow. yarr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh noooooo I listened to one of the samples fleetmouse linked and it had a tone-deaf violinist.. fuck I can't listen to it in that case. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you rule. thanks |
||||||||
|
|

I'm exaggerating |
||||||||
|
|

I have Moondog 2 and a compilation. Moondog is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I'll never be cool enough to dress up as a viking. Shit I'm barely valuable enough for these tight pink pants with the ass cheeks cut out. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Cheer up. Grow a beard. |
||||||||
|
|

YES I needed this, thanks qrter. fuck. Clic this music is cheering me up, thankfully. |

Moondog is great! Thank you! |

you're welcome. |

An email my girlfriend just forwarded me from her father (she was inquiring about Moondog). I would assume Jason has more musical and biographical info about Moondog (Louis Thomas Hardin) than I do. He was at one time taken pretty seriously by both jazz and classical people. He was, without argument, a phenomenon unto himself. I saw Moondog one time. I was in New York hanging out with the great drummer Roy Brooks. We went to hear Yusef Lateef at the Blue Cornet in Brooklyn. Roy went crazy and had to be restrained (not that unusual) so I rode back to Manhattan with Yusef's bass player Herman Wright (also from Detroit). Our goal was some church in the Bronx which had a huge pipe organ and did Sunday morning concerts (which we eventually reached). Enroute through Harlem we stopped to see and hear Moondog, who was on the roof of an apartment building in full Viking regalia doing his thing. It was an unusual day musically. Apart from our stop in Harlem, Herman was very proud because we maintained a steady 33 mph and hit all the street lights green the whole north-south length of Manhattan. |

is also great. Nothing at all like Moondog mind you - just good jazz with eastern influences. |
||||||||

Sure doggie I am down with YL. |
