"Friend of the Devil"

The best Rolling Stones song never written nor performed by Mick n' Keef. From I Am Trying to Break Your Heart... and Jay Bennett's last performance with the band, if memory serves. EDIT: On closer inspection, I don't see Jay Bennett on stage, so it must have come in the film after Tweedy fired him.

Live at Ronnie Scott's, 1966. Will edit to add/change later.

From Later with Jools Holland, 2006.
I chose this because it's an excellent live performance, but the video for the single is also really easy on the eyes.

Newport Jazz Festival, 1958. From the film, Jazz on a Summer's Day.
Her sense of time, phrasing and modulation, and the way she works the microphone, is on fantastic display here. A classic performance, and the audience shots are about as priceless.

Radiohead Jazz.

Live in Vienna, sometime in the recent past.

Performing a variant on the old folk song, "Frankie and Johnnie." The start of the video implies that she's covering the 1928 record by Mississippi John Hurt. In any case, the lyrics here refer to the man as "Albert," which indicates, using the Wikipedia as a guide, that her lyrical source (Mississippi John or otherwise) [...]

On West German television.

A few days ago I mentioned David Sanborn's old Night Music program. Well, here's a clip from the show featuring Dizzy Gillespie in 1988. Before playing, Diz has some fun goofing on Jools Holland.

Shamelessly stolen from the bjhess blog.
I wish I knew the source of this clip.
Anybody remember David Sanborn's old Night Music show? It used to run on NBC in the late '80s in the wee, wee hours of Sunday night, as I recall. He'd get various kinds of interesting musicians to come on and just [...]

Can were a German experimental-rock band of the late '60s and '70s, which influenced contemporaries such as Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, and David Bowie, and continue to inform the sounds of rock bands, electronic composers, and avant-garde artists today. For example, recently E-6 astutely noted that the guitar during the verses on "Lazy Eye" by the [...]

I tuned in to the evening rebroadcast of yesterday's game to watch Scott Baker's innings with pen & paper handy. Some notes on the outcome of each matchup he faced:
1st inning
Erstad, 1-1 pitch, fastball, up-outside corner, sharp but routine groundout to Bartlett
Iguchi, 4-0 walk
Thome, 1-0, fastball, thigh-high inside, groundball single under the diving Morneau's glove
Dye, [...]
