Quotation
Of The Week ~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Silence is very important. The
silence between the notes are as important as the notes themselves.
What
to say about this one? I admit i came very close to grading it a mere
“B+”. For one thing, Uman played the abrasive David Surkamp,
Pavlov's Dog's singer, whose voice is fingernails on a blackboard to
me. Secondly, there seemed to be more commercials than usual this
week – including one really annoying one from Seliga Heating &
Cooling on Gravois Road (call 314-481-7333 if you're interested –
and if you live in St Louis).
But
what the hey, i'm going with an “A.” First, there were a couple
of delightful surprises: i don't think i'd ever heard Bob Marley on
KSHE before, and there was also one of my favourite Mama's Pride
songs. Plus there was so much else to love: CSNY, Yes, LRB. The Who,
The Beatles.... But i think my fave today was Steely Dan – every
time i listen to them i find further levels of meaning.
Just
some random schtuff: 1. I must have heard “Time Loves A Hero”
many times, here, there and everywhere, without knowing it was Little
Feat. Duh! 2. Am i the only person in all of the Western World who
doesn't own a copy of “Frampton Comes Alive!”? Not that there's
anything wrong with it, it just didn't impress me much. 3. St Louis
has always loved Canadian rock bands but there were more than usual
this morning, four of them. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, someone
Tweeted to Uman that he should put on a special all-Canadian edition
of the Klassics Show. Impractical, i think. I personally, wouldn't
care to listen to Loverboy twice an hour and as far as i can recall
KSHE only ever plays one song by Max Webster.
