#FridayNightJukebox

Thanks to a recommendation from @imalcolm I've been listening all week to Technicians Of The Sacred from the mighty #ozrictentacles.

I haven't listened to them in years - my last purchase of theirs was 1993's Jurassic Shift - but it's great to see they're still making great music.

Whew, we made it through the lows. Now for a few highs to wrap up #Extremes #FridayNightJukebox #Music

No, this is not a band created by Wes Anderson for one of his identical movies. This is an actual band that existed in the Sixties. That album cover shows what it would be like if some accountants started a rock band. Too extreme?

It doesn't look like I'm getting on #FridayNightJukebox; weird, because it's Friday night where I am, but we plow ahead. Let's talk #Extremes. It's the entire album in one song. No Roger Daltry, so no histrionics for once. John Entwhistle plays the French horn on the song. The Muppets based Animal on Keith Moon, but his drumming on 1921 is exquisite. Pete Townsend was 24 when he created Tommy, which is kind of insane. #FridayNightJukebox #Music

A personal health crisis this week forced my latest-ever edition of #FridayNightJukebox #Music. Being in the U.S. I'm always coming in overnight for most of you, so if anyone's still up we'll see if I can take you to the morning light. First up: if you sell the world that's going the extra mile, and having Klaus Nomi as your backup singer is pretty #Extreme. Watch Klaus lift more weight than he's ever done in his life.

David Bowie - Man Who Sold The World (SNL):

You'll Never Walk Alone, by Rogers and Hammerstein. Usually associated with Gerry and the Pacemakers, this song was originally from the stage musical, Carousel, in 1945. This version is from the ending of the 1956 film version, featuring Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones.

Also of course the anthem of Liverpool Football Club.

🎵Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone🎵

Ahead of **#FridayNightJukebox, **I'm reliving what was (one of ?) the best gigs I attended (after queueing overnight). London's Lyceum filled with dry ice and blinding white flood lights and then suddenly this track bursting to life. Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks and Daryl Stuermer were all at the top of their game but it was the supremely matched drumming of Phil Collins and Chester Thompson had a 16 year old me enthralled (and still does to this day).

Oh yea, it's Jukebox Friday Night (in the afternoon). The theme is apparently "Transcendence" / "Lose Yourself" - or to quote, "uplifting, joyous & otherworldly tunes..."

Well, how about Space Suit from They Might Be Giants' album Apollo 18 songwhip.com/they-might-be-gia

It's an all instrumental piece that is very otherworldly and can just help you transcend or relax as you lose yourself to the music.
