Re: Barton Hall inthe Library of Congress |
Well, that's nice. Here's a link to this year's 25 Chosen Ones. I wish there was also a link to the recordings themselves, but there doesn't seem to be. I'd love to hear the slave interviews. (And who could resist an 1888 Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?)
http://www.loc.gov/today/pr/2012/12-107.htmlI poked around on the LC's site and found this link to a bunch of other recording archives. IA is on it, so maybe some others will actually include music you can hear:
http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-OTHERARCHIVES.htmlHonestly, the idea of 25 Important Recordings to enter each year into a National Registry seems a bit quaint in the online era. And it's funny that Wagner's Ring Cycle counts as one entry, and so does Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. But it's nice to have 5/8/77 in the company of "Bei Mir Bist du Schoen" by the Andrews Sisters. I guess.

Forever Changes by Love? Huh? Did I miss something in my drug-addled haze?
At least they're next to Donna Summer.

Re: Barton Hall inthe Library of Congress |
this is for diamond head. sry high flow, this 'log in' or
'join us' BS is in charge. You cant respond to whom you want to all the time it seems. Anyway< Green Onions? RIP Donald Duck. Your taste remains impeccable.
To DH: I was thinking the same. Of ANYTHING that came out
in 67??? 1967 was a beautiful year for many things, esp
music. Just sayin.
And yes, you did miss something in your drug addled haze.
But only you know (dont know) what that is...:)

Purple Rain? When Doves Cry would have been the better choice from that soundtrack, imo.

Re: Barton Hall inthe Library of Congress |
I think what they've chosen IS the soundtrack. The whole recording. So you have a soundtrack (Prince), a whole show (5/8), a 15-second snippet of voice (Edison 1888 recording), Green Onions ... ditto other years. Wagner's Ring Cycle next to a single Andrews Sisters tune next to Neil Armstrong speaking from the moon next to Abbott and Costello doing Who's on First next to the first time Fibber McGee's closet opens in Fibber McGee and Molly.
It's a strange but fascinating collection, almost Fahrenheit 451-ish. Looking at it, I gather it's done to select historically significant bits of audio, preserve them, and give them a kind of Official Mark of Importance for historical purposes.
Which explains why they picked the Ruth Etting 10 Cents a Dance and not Shine on Harvest Moon, which holds up so much better ... although it doesn't have those interesting lines about dancing with "pansies." :-) Guess they're holding out to unearth a 1908 recording of the original Nora Bayes Shine on Harvest Moon, which would be the really significant one ...
Here's the whole surreal Fahrenheit 451 I Ching list in its entirety to date:

Re: Barton Hall inthe Library of Congress |
So are you suggesting that Morris Day and Time have received the Official Mark of Importance for Historic Purposes?
Cool.
I could not find Purple Rain or Prince on the list you linked. Its not listed as that symbol he went by is it? I don't think i have the ability to search for that using command F.
should not type before caffeine...

Re: Barton Hall inthe Library of Congress |
I think you're right. It's on this one (listed by title),
http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/registry/NRRcreditsbytitle.pdf , but not on the other (listed by artist). Whoops, guess they gave the list to an intern to type it in and s/he was busy checking FB on another screen or something.
Btw I noticed there are three different versions of Girl from Ipanema. That must make it the LC's candidate for most important song of all time.

Absolutely. An outrage. It's clear evidence of the historical importance and vast influence of Girl from Ipanema. I say we lobby for inclusion.

Nice one. But I prefer this:

I bet even has ol' Mandos seal of approval...
