492) Randy Newman - Louisiana 1927...




Randy Newman has long been one of the most musically and lyrically ambitious singer-songwriters ever to be at play in the fields of popular music.
Born on November 28, 1943 to a renowned musical family, by seventeen Newman was a working songwriter. In 1968 he debuted with Randy Newman, and before long an unusually wide range of artists were recording his songs.

In the Eighties, Newman’s foray into film composing earned him his first two of sixteen Oscar nominations. Trouble In Paradise and the Grammy-winning score for The Natural followed. Next, Land of Dreams was considered another breakthrough work.


In the Nineties, Newman earned an Emmy and several more Grammys for work on films like Toy Story, James and the Giant Peach, Bug’s Life and Toy Story 2. Newman also tickled his adult audience with his darkly hilarious take on Faust. The four-CD compilation: Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman and Bad Love followed, and in 2002, Newman won his first Oscar for Best Original Song for Monsters Inc. He has also earned 5 Grammy awards and 2 Emmy awards throughout his career.


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


The enduring quality and emotional depth of his work are perhaps best exemplified by “Louisiana 1927,” a song from Good Old Boys about a flood that devastated parts of Louisiana early in the 20th Century. Post-Katrina, the song was adapted by Crescent City artists like Marcia Ball and Aaron Neville as a kind of anthem, sung with as much pride as bitterness. The song became a leitmotif of the 2008 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, where Newman himself delivered a bravura performance.

500) The Doors - When The Music's Over...





Released in October 1967, 10 months after The Doors had blazed a trailthanks to its stunning fusion of rock, blues, jazz, classical music andpoetry, as well as the chart-topping single 'Light My Fire', Strange Daysfurthered the band's commercial success and critical acclaim via songs suchas 'Moonlight Drive', 'Love Me Two Times', the 11-minute opus 'When TheMusic's Over' and the hit title track. It also marked the first time thatthe Doors recorded on eight-track, utilising the Sunset Sound customconsole that had been designed by engineer Allan Emig.

"Back then we didn't have any automation. Everything had to be done bymemory, and we had to make decisions. We couldn't leave things for lateron. 'We'll fix it in the mix' didn't exist. It's not that way today. I workwith multi-channel Pro Tools HD, and I love all the tools, but the processis just so much longer. You have to think too much, and there are so manythings that can go wrong. Years ago it was all about the performance, andthe concept was fixed so that we could work from that rather than having ablank sheet and going, 'OK, let's just do the drums now.' I'm amazed that alot of the kids who are mixing today are able to put this all togetherwithout any concept of what it's supposed to be like live, but it is whatit is.

Let's say you procrastinated and waited until you're right at death's door to get this 500th song in.

Might be a fitting closer.


Well the music is your special friend

Dance on fire as it intends

Music is your only friend


Until the end

Until the end

Until the end


Props to Byron for the thread concept and to Hudson for compiling the data.

And all those that participated.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
