Strange music…

Well…as you can see, politics haven’t really been too interesting to me lately…after all, how do you comment on the absurdism that is the repub race…so, I think I’ll do one on some music I heard on the bike this morning. On the ride today, “Sunshine of my Love” by Cream came on and, since I was at my last water stop in the park, I could really listen to it without wind noise or any other distractions…well..it is the strangest engineering I have ever heard in a song….whoever did the recording put the drums in the right ear, the guitar in the left, and Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton singing in the middle….really a departure from the normal way that songs sound….I was going to do a similar one on how the drums sound on “Nantucket Sleighride” by Mountain…where they use the entire sonic range from ear to ear for the drums and then lay the rest of the music on top of it so it sounds like you are really at a live concert…and that contrasts to “White Room” by Cream where the drums sound like you are sitting a couple of feet in front of the kit….weird…or not weird but interesting how sound can be changed so your brain interprets it differently…yeah, okay….probably only interesting to me….
