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.

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.

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.

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

what's the new deadline?
― fauci wally (voodoo chili), Sunday, 5 April 2020 19:33 (three years ago) link
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.
― "...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 5 April 2020 20:09 (three years ago) link
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 coverhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60Y4CY_rOak
― in twelve parts (lamonti), Monday, 6 April 2020 07:07 (three years ago) link
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
― Yanni Xenakis (Hadrian VIII), Monday, 6 April 2020 13:10 (three years ago) link
i kind of want to vote for like 2 or 3 tracks but maybe that doesn't justify a ballot

The hardest thing about this is that my favorite Hendrix song is whatever one is currently playing.
― Why, I would make a fantastic Nero! (PBKR), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 12:25 (three years ago) link
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
― fauci wally (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 13:08 (three years ago) link
I never really get tired of "Purple Haze" and "Watchtower" tbh. Former has one of my favourite solos by anyone.
― Sund4r, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 13:11 (three years ago) link
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.
― Nudeln und Klopapier Gore (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 15:54 (three years ago) link
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
could do a separate poll just for live/studio versions of "Izabella"
― Nudeln und Klopapier Gore (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 16:11 (three years ago) link
he barely did it live, didn't he? woodstock and the first band of gypsys show and that medley with "machine gun" on the tonight show and... that's about it, isn't it?
― Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 16:15 (three years ago) link
yeah, i guess there are fewer than for other, older songs. but they all rip in different ways.
― Nudeln und Klopapier Gore (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link
first gypsys show might be the best? I was scared away from that fillmore comp because I don't like the Power of Soul that opens it. what a mistake.
― Nudeln und Klopapier Gore (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 7 April 2020 16:36 (three years ago) link
Interesting. PH is the only one of his singles where I wonder why he didn't take a mulligan on the solo. To my ears, it lacks his customary fluidity.

When we post our ballots and I reveal that I voted for a non-Hendrix composition as my #1, I fully expect to be banned for life.

that's why it stands out, imo.
watchtower is prob still my favorite solo of his. unless it's the little wing intro. or something else, it's a true embarrassment of riches in his catalog.
