What's He Building?

Some of you enjoyed this little ditty by Tom Waits this morning

Figure 8 - Elliot Smith

Released in 2000 Figure 8 was Elliot Smith's 5th Studio album and the last before his death.

Never the most upbeat of men, Smith manages on this album to smile his way through the melancholy. This may have more to do with the fine lush arangements and studio craftsmanship of the album than to any change in Elliots disposition.

Highlights include Son of Sam, Pretty Mary K, Everything Reminds Me Of Her and Wouldn't Mamma Be Proud.

It's as close to pop muisc as Smith ever came, and a sad reminder of what music and the world lost with his death.

"Junk Bond Trader" – 3:49

"The Jungle Book" Original Soundtrack

The soundtrack to the 1967 Disney film “The Jungle Book”, about a feral child named Mowgli and based on stories from the book of the same name written by Rudyard Kipling, is a mixture of old-fashioned classical and jazz music and contains a number of much-loved songs, including “The Bare Necessities” and “I Wan’na Be Like You”.
Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, it was the last to be produced by Walt Disney, who died during the making of the film. Sterling Holloway provides just one of the many recognisable voices in his role as Kaa the python (he was also the voice of Winnie the Pooh in the Walt Disney featurettes), along with Bruce Reitherman, son of director Wolfgang. However, it is Phil Harris, the voice of everyone’s favorite hip bear Baloo, who steals the show with the slacker anthem, “The Bare Necessities”, but his scat match with legendary jazz trumpeter Louis Prima on “I Wan’na Be Like You (The Monkey Song)” is also not to be missed.
Most of the songs featured in the film were written by the Sherman Brothers, Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, whose other numerous Disney and non-Disney credits include “The Aristocats”, “The Parent Trap”, “Bedknobs & Broomsticks”, “Mary Poppins” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. Longtime Disney collaborator Terry Gilkyson was originally brought in to write the songs for “The Jungle Book” and delivered several finished pieces, but Walt Disney felt that his efforts were too dark and kept too true to Kipling’s book. The Sherman Brothers were brought in to do a complete rewrite, on the condition that they not read Rudyard Kipling’s book. The only piece of Gilkyson’s work that survived to the final film was “The Bare Necessities”, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song in 1967 but lost out to “Talk To The Animals” from “Doctor Doolittle”.
The four vultures featured in the movie were originally based on The Beatles and were to be voiced by the band. However, due to problems with their schedule, this didn’t happen, but the moptop haircuts and Liverpudlian accents remained.

Sparks - Wynton Marsalis

I came across the Wynton Marsalis track Where Y'all At today and it's cooool, so I'll be playing it tomorrow fo'sho' It's from his album From The Plantation To The Penetentiary and you can buy it in iTunes. Have a listen to it first on his website, which let's you listen to all his stuff, so it's worth checking out. I couldn't find a link to the actual track anywhere but while searching I found this iPod ad, as one of the comments on youtube points out, this track isn't available on iTunes, bit of a boo boo that!
