So, Carlos got paid with a rubber check? Or was it the wrong color M&Ms backstage?

I think it’s hilarious the way the audience continues to clap until the very end… “if we don’t clap we may be seen as non-progressive and close-minded!”
No… there is a point at which the musician’s (or any performer, really) head goes so far up his ass, he can’t see or hear himself performing. Choking on his own bullshit rhetoric.

It’s dubbed!
5 theFatTubist // Oct 19, 2007 at 7:01 pm
Haha, now I feel silly.
But still! Think 4′33″.
Being a music major in a local community college, there would always be a pretentious dipshit who’d punch any two keys on a piano and call it music.
And same thing goes for photographers who take pictures of ordinary things extremely close-up in “unique angles” using black and white film and call it art. And post it on the internet. And call it their “portfolio”. Yeah, man… “bum in subway” may have gotten you a B- in photography, but it ain’t what you think it is.

I don’t know what’s so funny about it.
My husband and I danced to that at our wedding.

4′33″ ! I swear up and down I have it on Vinyl !
It looks better than it sounds

Always? or just when I’m around?

I thought playing music backwards was passé?
11 pal Jacky // Oct 19, 2007 at 9:27 pm
The saddest thing about 4′33” seconds is that its by far the most enjoyable piece John Cage ever composed. Though even I have to admit it becomes a bit tiresome at around 3′12”, I love John Cage’s thoughts and non-musical writings but his music is just silly. Throw the I-ching coins and see if we get to hear the second verse same as the first.
The evil fraud Paul McCartney wants yo to think playing music backwards is passe. It is part of his assault on the culture of Western Civilzation. His effort here is to get people to quit listening to J.S. Bach and listen only to things like ‘band on the run’. Bach’s fugues with all their retrograde voices will not be silenced by this idiotic mean little imp.

I love it when music is played for a concert…. digg that drummer!!…
and it is so good they were not trying to eat during the show!
13 Doug // Oct 19, 2007 at 10:13 pm
I don’t get it. Wait, should I have had the sound turned on?
14 Auntie Vera Charles // Oct 19, 2007 at 10:31 pm
Come on everybody….”Pod-Luck, Pod-Luck, Pod-Luck”!!!!!
15 Auntie Vera Charles // Oct 19, 2007 at 10:31 pm
But I still smell fish.
16 naughty zoot // Oct 19, 2007 at 10:39 pm
I used to piss off my music professors no end when, after an agonizingly boring 5 minutes of “cutting edge modern composition” they’d ask for feedback and when I was forced to answer I would say, “The emperor has no clothes”. HATE Cage.
I also loathe this atonal “pissing around instead of doing what people paid me to do” shit.
Any asshole who is so unprofessional as to take people’s hard-earned money and then treat them so contemptuously by playing stupid “I’m so great you should have to pay to listen to me pee” games on stage is NOT worth anyone’s time. I don’t care how many people “think” he’s great. If he’s going to behave like that, hell, save your money and get the recording. The record execs will get all the profits, but at least you’ll get th bastard to play MUSIC when you hit the button.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY!! DON’T YOU PEOPLE GET IT?
THIS IS HIGH TECH JAZZ IMPROVISING. IF ANY OF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT MUSIC VARIATIONS YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND.
check with Woldort Sockbat he’ll straighten you all out!!!

Hey, this is Rafael SANTANA you’re talking about, one of the best Designated Shortstops the Mets ever had !
Plus which, his batting average was ALWAYS above the Mendoza Mark
Cut him some slack , Tiger Lily !
19 pal Jacky // Oct 20, 2007 at 4:43 am
But zoot some of it has its uses. Take crumb’s ‘Ancient voices of children’ Put that on when those last few pesky party guests just won’t leave. Also good for that is ‘eight songs for a mad king’ by Peter Maxwell davis. Of course it helps if you sing along and act it out. Actually, I’m quite fond of maxwell davis in a gulity pleasure sort of way. He did do the incidental music to Ken Russell’s ‘the devils’ with the late great tragic david Munrow handling the period pieces played in the film.
20 paper-hat // Oct 20, 2007 at 11:01 am
a brand new creamy puffy Pod-Luck will do! scrumptious!!!
21 naughty zoot // Oct 20, 2007 at 12:43 pm
Hey- I like Davis- there’s something about a crazed regent tune that just gets a girl going….
And I hadn’t thought of that use for Crumb…wow! Great hostessing tip, Pal Jacky!
22 pal Jacky // Oct 20, 2007 at 2:45 pm
Peter Maxwell davis first and sixth symphonies are quite fine. When I think guilty pleasure, I’m refering to things like ‘mavis in Las Vegas’ . ‘an american in Paris’ type travel log. its structurally more like ’til Eulenspiegel with a really banal, bittersweet tune for mavis as she goes through the paces of having ‘fun’ in the desert sleazetown . If you haven’t heard it, find it somewhere.
23 Auntie Vera Charles // Oct 20, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Smelt I think.
24 JohnnyBoy // Oct 20, 2007 at 7:24 pm
You smelt Smelt ?

Holy art-puke!
Got to wonder how much those poor goobers coughed up for the privilege of being wanked on. Oooh, & it’s dubbed to boot?! Try “Pieces Of April” (!) by 3 Dog Night for real acid-victim magic. Arno is another musical Picasso – adamantly proud of his refusal to tune, ever.
When I was about 10, I remember seeing a “guitar-off” between Zappa & Santana on TeeVee … he was judged as defeating Zappa, presumably because he played the most notes. Pretty sure ol’ Frank was “only in it for the money” … & one of his funniest numbers is an instrumental yclept “The Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progression” – a rare instance of him breeding a real sonic clone. Both hilarious & eerie.
I recall hearing something called “GAUSS” which literally consisted of a “song” performed by … a pulp-mill. Add water, makes its own post-modern irony. I’ve perpetrated worse, & may well do so again – but I DON’T CHARGE MONEY FOR IT. Jeebus Cripes.

No wait….this April’s site….. IT’S TILAPIA!

Well, ya know, Sri Chinmoy just croaked. C-Los may have been a little distracted
37 JohnnyBoy // Oct 21, 2007 at 10:07 am
“he told all my friends not to call me ever again, because I was to drown in a dark sea of ignorance for leaving him”
Carlos Santana regarding Sri Chinmoy – 2000

It’s “Edgy!” It’s “avant-garde!” It’s.. it’s….. Ok, it’s TOTAL CRAP.
I have a question – who was he playing with (besides himself?) It was like a bunch of guys on the subway all listening to their ipods and playing along! It would have been Kinda spooky and surreal if they hadn’t all been on stage TOGETHER.
SHEESH. what crap.
39 April // Oct 21, 2007 at 12:37 pm
It’s dubbed! Someone put in a different sound track. That’s the funny part.
40 Auntie Vera Charles // Oct 21, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Hey. I think it’s dubbed!
41 Tom // Oct 21, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Man, talk about being musically illiterate. I thought the funny part of the clip was that one of the musicians was playing an instrument that looked like a big giant pink dildo.
42 pal Jacky // Oct 21, 2007 at 3:18 pm
’tilapia’ my god, Auntie Vera is a double agent. Perhaps we should start referring to him as the ‘antivera’. He might be able to shed some light on the strange relationship that J. E. Hoover had with Castro. Not that the got along or anything, they just liked to trade pictures of them ‘dressed up’. Castro loves his pill box hats. Maybe the bay of pigs/Jfk assassination connection is all too real. Remember you can’t spell assassination without ass twice.
43 Carltonyuk // Oct 21, 2007 at 5:37 pm
It sort of reminded me of an TV show we used to have here in the UK. Here’s what I mean.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsQYzpOHpik
I think you’ll get the idea.
44 pal Jacky // Oct 21, 2007 at 6:35 pm
It could be worse. I could start spouting off about how income tax is unconstitutional or there’s no correlation between HIV and AIDS.
45 JohnnyBoy // Oct 21, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Castro was born on Friday the 13th
as were those Olsen Twins
Also, Castro MAY have been an extra in The Ten Commandments, but this cannot be verified
46 Carltonyuk // Oct 21, 2007 at 8:20 pm
I hope you don’t mind…..this is a little off subject……but I have just been listening to some of April’s highlight tracks and heard Margarita Pracatan. Here is a little something to make supper difficult to swallow…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hpkP2mb4SA
47 gary // Oct 21, 2007 at 8:27 pm
So wait…..It’s dubbed?
Anyway, April , maybe you and Carlos should record a duet.
I mean have you heard that alleged song he did with that Matchbox 20 dork? It could be a great career move.
“My Vagina” with timbales, congas ………sexy….well, until Santana starts soloing.
48 JohnnyQuest // Oct 21, 2007 at 11:27 pm
Hey, I think that soundtrack might not be the original one from the video. Was this dubbed or something?
JohnnyBoy, we have the same first name – we might be related! Castro was definitely in the Ten Commandments; he is listed as “Israelite #437.” DeMille also used the Olsen Twins, but on the crew: to save money on effects, he took them to a lake where they linked hands and used the strange power of their froglike faces to part the Red Sea! It’s true – I heard it on the Universal tram tour.
49 JohnnyBoy // Oct 22, 2007 at 6:24 am
Yes, it is very likely we are related…it can’t just be coincidence
I think it’s on the 10-disk (one for each commandment) Special Edition DVD…..in the background, you hear “Activate!”, then you can hear one of them saying “Form of the Red Sea” and the other saying “Face of a Frog”
Seriously, though, Herb Alpert IS in The 10 Commandments, as is Alfalfa, and Robert Vaughn

Wow, (my 5 year old) clapped her hands over her ears and cried out “make it stop!” and she LOVES nonsensical noise.
I wonder if this ditty makes Guitar Hero 3?
52 pal Jacky // Oct 22, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Which of the olsen twins shoots her heroin into her right nipple? The other is a little more mainstream and shoots it right under her tongue. I’ve heard this is the only way their mother can tell them apart. As far as Castro is concerned, he has been dead since 1969. What you see now is a real life ‘puppet dictator’ care of Walt Disney. His castro was so successful he then took on Abe Lincoln.
53 pal Jacky // Oct 22, 2007 at 6:17 pm
I was at a japanese market today. It was warm outside. I got into line and there was that awful smell. I was not going to stereotype until I looked into his basket. I didn’t know they sold Kim Chee at this place.

Fuck all of you!! Thats jazz fusion.

56 Farfel // Oct 22, 2007 at 7:52 pm
It’s a shame the video’s dubbed. I kind of liked the thought of Carlos Santana being Jandek.
57 Carltonyuk // Oct 22, 2007 at 11:29 pm
Just adding a link from ALittleWinchellDoY from the chat page as some may miss it. A little piece of April TV magic.
