Bah, that's The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix

9 ballots in so far!

Today's sideman pick, Jimi joins up with King Curtis* in 1966 and hotwires "Gloria" for Ray Sharpe's "Help Me (Get The Feeling) Pts. 1+2"

Who'd later reuse the backing track three years later for his "Instant Groove" single.

Any chance the deadline can be extended to Monday? I was planning on doing my list this weekend.

Today's sideman pick, Jimi joins up with King Curtis* in 1966 and hotwires "Gloria"

― "...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain)

the first hendrix tape i heard was a dub of "the essential jimi hendrix", which had that _other_ time he hotwired "gloria" on it. i don't know how "essential" it is but it's worth a listen!

Deadline is definitely extended through the weekend.

do Sweet!

I should rep for this, my favorite jimi cover

I am probably going to put Voodoo Child (Slight Return) very, very high on my ballot, but had thought I wasn't going to put Voodoo Child on my ballot at all. Just listening to it again, but damn if that isn't great as well.

it really is

stretched out, confident, utterly assured

even hollywood hogan air guitar cannot ruin that song

Oh crap, just missed this, sorry.

deadline was extended. Please vote!

Yeah, the deadline is extended through this weekend (and possibly even longer).

Oh! Well, there you go.

Bumping for the daylight crowd.

THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH THE WEEKEND (AND POSSIBLY INTO NEXT WEEK)!

yo i really want to vote in this but i def need this extension, into next week would be v helpful as well if it’s possible and doesn’t bug others

I urge everyone to check out that First Rays of the New Rising Sun mix that was posted on one or the other Jimi threads. It might be the best post-experience Jimi thing I have ever heard.

that record rules, definitely my favorite posthumous collection

I need at least a week, if you move on I will understand

I already have more than 20 on my shortlist :(

Tarfumes passed along this link to the fan edit reconstruction of First Rays...

It also contains a second link to a slightly tweaked second version.

Voted!

"belly button window" is such a sad song. most rock music doesn't go in on the philosophical pessimism that heavy.

xp is Tarfumes ever coming back ?

what's the new deadline?

would love to re-check ladyland before submitting my final

Right now the deadline is...sometime next week? I've 15 ballots, not including mine (because I haven't even started drawing it up yet). Definitely want more, but I know everything is scary & weird right now. This is the first poll run totally during the pandemic so...you have time.

I'll send out more confirmations as I start counting ballots again. Took a break so my own ballot wouldn't be overly influenced by inside knowledge.

Was just listening to the Burbank loss leader album, which for a long time was the only way to get the original 45 mix of "The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam's Dice" on an album. I wanted to share it, but...NOT ON YOUTUBE (and the version on South Saturn Delta is a cleaned-up remix).

definitely going to vote

Here's my favourite Jimi cover

Has everyone checked out http://www.rockprophecy.com/ before? I've been checking it every couple years for 20 years ever since I saw an ad for it in the back of a Village Voice. It's a grand conspiracy about how Hendrix was an alien prophet come to warn humans about an asteroid that is going to wipe out the Earth and love (and a spaceship?) will somehow save us. The guy used to work for Hendrix rights holder putting together releases before he was fired when the Hendrix Estate reacquired the rights in the late 1990s, so he mixes in the whole thing with a weird, paranoid hatred of Paul Allen (who funded the Experience Hendrix Museum) and has a very strong whiff of disgruntled employee. The final cherry on top is he plays in a Hendrix cover band and uses a left-hand Strat upside down or whatever like Hendrix. This is fun stuff.

imi Hendrix sang, wrote, and spoke about his remote view of Rock. Government sponsored scientific studies prove that the ability to remote view is an inborn trait in some people. Jimi named what he saw Electric Love - the asteroid aimed to impact our planet. At 10 pm (London Time) on Friday the 13th in April of the year 2029 Common Era (Year 86 Uncommon Era) asteroid 2004 MN4 will arrive.
In July "2005" NASA re-named asteroid 2004 MN4 as the "Apophis" (the Greek word for "Evil Destruction"). NASA'a official number for Apophis is "999-42" - which is 666-6 ("4+2"=6) - sign of the devil - upside down and backwards.

But you know all this.

I cannot believe I used to listen to Joanna Newsom

I hear it now and I'm at a high school play wishing that one kid would dial it down about a hundred notches

i kind of want to vote for like 2 or 3 tracks but maybe that doesn't justify a ballot

voted

I've got 17 ballots in (not including mine). I'll keep it open into next weekend at the very least.

mitch mitchell was a beast, wasn't he

The hardest thing about this is that my favorite Hendrix song is whatever one is currently playing.

yeah I feel that.

I’ve been trying to choose between “jams” and “songs,” and a lot of the simplest/least interesting songs are the ones with the most mind-bending solos. Gotta trust my inner 13-year-old on this one lol

I never really get tired of "Purple Haze" and "Watchtower" tbh. Former has one of my favourite solos by anyone.

I hope we have the poll counting technology to accurately sum "Power to Love" and "Power of Soul" votes. Parts of that song make the Band of Gypsys sound like a christian group that tours elementary school gymnasia, delivering a positive message for the children. but the switch flipped at 20 seconds (on Band of Gypsys) is probably the most thrilling guitar moment for me on any album by anyone. one of my favorite riff, solo, groove jimi songs.

the other type of song is the jimi plays the same chord progression over and over in subtly beautiful ways: castles, little wing, bold as love, angel, hey joe, ...

*where not the

No problem!

Oooh I just started digging into First Rays & I might end up resubmitting my ballot

Looking forward to the roll out ... still on for Monday start?

xpost, no pressure BTW, just wanting something to look forward to on another quarantine Monday
