8:30 p.m. - October 12, 2007 Er, the videos on the intraweb. Yeah, that�s better. You know, I�ll let you in on a little secret. Each day AFTER Music Week I will post a video from You Tube. It�ll be �Smed�s Video Corner� so even if I�m writing an essay on something else totally, you can still have musical goodness. Just what you wanted, right? Of course it is! Anyway, here we go with some videos for a Saturday. We start off with some Fairport Convention. Yep, not with Sandy Denny, but Richard Thompson is on guitar. I think I recognize him, but this was 1970, and it�s 2007 now. So, yeah, he�s aged a bit. �Now Be Thankful� was a single, not on an album until they started to make compilations.
Everyone needs to party, right? Well, who does a party better than the B-52s? No one. No one at all. Dig the little porn-stache on Fred. I think he�s related to John Waters, somehow.
I was so happy to find this next one. Wait, is that Kenny Rogers introducing Badfinger? I need to do some research. Hold on. Ah, OK. Thanks internet! The First Edition hosted a show based out of Canada called �Rolling On The River� and Badfinger were a guest one day. OK, then! The next one is truncated, but I think it was truncated on Belgain TV, or something. Anyway, it�s King Crimson doing the first half of �Larks� Tongue In Aspic, Part One�. Percussionist Jamie Muir is a mad man! Unfortunately, because it�s TV, they didn�t really BLAST out, like they do on the record. Ah, well� Filmed in Denmark, I guess. For Japanese TV, I think. It kicks ass, I know! It�s Deep Purple! It�s amazing how a band can change. Can you believe that Judas Priest went from looking like this: To this: That was from 1975 to 1982. Wow. It also shows how insidious male pattern baldness can be! I leave you with this. It�s not music, but it�s funny. It has the Liz seal of approval as well! Really!
