What Music Are You Listening To? ~ September 2018

[bluto]

Ok...so if I'm understanding this (and I'm not sure I am) apparently it's not a parody (or is it?)...and this is Weezer and Weird Al Yankovic, together, covering Toto's Africa.

Its a real good studio version of Africa , glorious in fact
It was done at the insistance of a particular weezer fan who asked they do it. Look up the background , it is truly one of the coolest music stories I have ever read .

Aliotta, Haynes, Jeremiah was on the turntable. Besides the iconic "Lake Shore Drive," my other favorite from this album is "For Eddy." This song was written in honor of a classic Chicago denizen, Eddy Balchowsky, who worked at the Quiet Knight, one of the preeminent folk-rock venues of the 60s and 70s. I used to go to the Quiet Knight on occasion, and remember Eddy, the one-armed pianist (who lost his arm fighting in the Spanish Civil war, as part of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade of American volunteers).

Eddy's story is also the basis of Jimmy Buffett's "He Went To Paris."
