Eventually we will get some version of what the fans want across the line. And like always, incumbents will push back against change but the public will demand it. Whether by official release, crowd sourced edits, or AI, there will be endless versions of every great song and even more visuals that accompany them. We’re not going back and we’ll even likely go further into personalization. It’s a shift from idolization in official music videos (though they will always be important to superfans), and to a more personal, sometimes narcissistic, but often earnest way to communicate something. This has been a fundamental change in music. Songs/artists that would have never gotten video play, nor retail shelf space, are being discovered every day. If the song is great, it sticks around beyond that. When you see a song in socials or UGC used to help express a feeling, and you relate to it, it’s contagious and you want to participate. Generations have always used music to express their feelings, soundtrack their experiences, and become attached to moments. We’re 45+ years into remixes since disco/extended mixes started and even further into compilations.Īs far as the plays on “Hey Kids” goes, songs have always had purpose. They are just compiling alternative versions of songs (ie remixes). PS -student DO want to learn Morgan songsĪt least 2 of the 3 majors have these sped up accounts (probably all 3 do). … maybe we’re all just saturated with Ed and not looking for more I didn’t even know he had a new album out and I am someone who listens to new music more than old and goes to concerts regularly like last nights M83 in Oakland I haven’t had a student ask to learn one of his songs in at least 1 1/2 years I teach Music to young students and when Ed Sheeran first came out I had multiple students want to learn many of his songs loved it and have been playing his music when i perform for years. I first heard about Ed Sheeran from your article about him and “Lego House”. VG+ vinyl/VG+ sleeve and $8.He’s playing all stadiums – no arenas – theatres shows for the new record for super fans I carefully inspected each and (of course) the very last one was this: James Gang - James Gang Rides Again Within a minute, the guy appears out from behind a curtain with four copies of Rides Again. I told him the story and he called his co-worker who was down in their basement at the time. I pulled it and checked the track timings - no Bolero. I asked at the counter on the way in and - no joke - the guy reaches behind the counter and hands me a copy. Stopped into a wonderful little shop in Brookline - Village Vinyl & Hi-Fi. Some late 1970s LP pressings included "Boléro" by mistake, and the most recent CD re-issue of Rides Again contains the full version of "The Bomber," with the "Boléro" section restored." The edited song's running time on such pressings is 5:39. As a result, the track was edited, and the "Boléro" section was removed on most subsequent pressings of the album. Two weeks ago, I was headed to Boston for a couple of days and the Boston Challenge was to find a 1st pressing of James Gang - Rides Again with the 'Bolero' section:įrom wikipedia: "On the initial pressings of James Gang Rides Again, a 1:25 electric rendition of Maurice Ravel's " Boléro" is interpolated into the song "The Bomber." Ravel's estate threatened suit against both the James Gang and ABC Records for its unauthorized use. Last month's work trip to Chicago was to bring home a 1st pressing of Coltrane's - Sun Ship. Whenever I travel, I like to set interesting little vinyl challenges for myself, usually to find first pressings of certain albums.
