The Yardbirds in Blow Up

January 26, 2009 Media, album 1 Comment

blow-up-soundtrack-yardbirds

Blow Up is one of my all-time favorites from the 60s. Shot during the heyday of Swinging London, this movie features a soundtrack by Herbie Hancock (listed in the credits as “Herbert Hancock”, heh) and an appearance by Jimmy Page and company as The Yardbirds. The crowd is completely motionless for the duration of the performance, til you get to the best part of this great clip—some apeshit guitar smashing.

Blow Up is one of the best movies of the mid 60s, and the soundtrack is amazing. Check out the discontinued 180 gram vinyl edition of this while you can, it’s going fast.

I also highly recommend the Herbie Hancock Blow Up Extra Sessions CD, if you can find it…

The second in our Turntabling Records digital single series. Paisley Babylon recorded this track, Dolly Bird With a Gram of Hash, on New Year’s Day 2011, using two turntables, a MicroKorg, and several analog delays. The track is a unique blend of hallucinatory loops, found sounds and turntablism.
The New Year’s Day recordings are something of [...]

Herbie Hancock Blow-Up Soundtrack LP

September 10, 2009

This is the 4 Men With Beards re-issue of an all-time classic. Blow Up features Herbie Hancock in the high point of one of his most creative and inventive periods, long before he ever touched a synthesizer–it’s great stuff. And the Yardbirds work on here is worth the price alone.
All in all, this is an [...]

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

These are words I never, EVER expected to go together. Tokyo…SKA? Sounds great to me!

If for no other reason than the fact that I located this album, AND one by [...]

Qui etes-vous, Polly Maggoo?

February 26, 2009

William Klein did three memorable films collected in a great boxed set as part of the Criterion Eclipse series. The best film of the three is also one of the great moments of the 60s. Qui etes-vous, Polly Maggoo? follows a fashion model through her unreal existence. Long before reality television was even a glimmer [...]

Morricone: Ma Non Troppo Erotico

January 30, 2009

I don’t want to turn into a YouTube repository here, but this one’s definitely worth the effort.

One of his greatest collaborations was with Edda Dell’Orso, [...]
