First of all: so happy you like the songs!! I hope your friend and teacher like them too!!
I'm always extremely happy to recommend songs and artists, so here are some more by Donovan and Al Stewart!
Tumblr media
Here's Dono jamming with George Harrison :))
More Donovan songs I adore:
Ride-a-Mile
Darkness of My Night (this song is an early demo from when Dono was 18 and has been re-recorded as Breezes of Patchouli, which is on youtube!)
Hotel Lonely
To Whom It May Concern
Season of Farewell
Wear Your Love Like Heaven
Also, Donovan fun fact: he and the Beatles were buddies! Paul asked Dono for help writing Yellow Submarine (he wrote the lines "skies of blue / seas of green / in our yellow / submarine"), and Dono also helped John write Julia (he contributed "seashell eyes / windy smile"). He taught the Beatles the iconic fingerpicking style found on the White Album! He got some help from them in return– George Harrison wrote a verse for Hurdy Gurdy Man! ...which ultimately didn't make it in, because the song would've been too long to be a single :( but, here it is!
When the truth gets buried deep
Beneath a thousand years of sleep
Time demands a turnaround
And once again, the truth is found
Isn't that so cool–
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dono with Paul and John!
Also, this turned out way longer than anticipated, so I'll move onto Al now!
Tumblr media
Al once met the Beatles when he was younger and snuck backstage. John asked him to play something on guitar (because he was bored and needed some entertainment aajhdakjf) and Al boldly told him that his amp was too quiet! The next day, headlines were filled with "Lennon's guitar too loud! Ruins whole performance!" So there's that 😂
More recommendations, because if I don't get onto this now, you'll get a twelve page essay!
Bedsitter Images
Dangerzone (only on youtube, but definitely worth it for the David Bowie impression!)
Carol
Dreaming
Murmansk Run / Ellis Island
Broadway Hotel
Sirens of Titan
Tumblr media
Alrighty, that's it for now! 😌
Alrighty, so–
It's me again! Hi!
Tumblr media
Here's a band recommendation: Klaatu!
Formed in 1973, they're named after an alien from a 50s sci-fi film, The Day the Earth Stood Still (which I also recommend :D) . Something very important about this group is that, when they first began, they were completely anonymous. Nobody knew who the members of Klaatu were; all the songs were credited only to "Klaatu" and their named and faces weren't on any covers. Soon, they had a sudden rise in fame due to the spread of a rather bizarre rumour: Klaatu were actually the Beatles, reunited in secret! The rumours weren't directly denied at first... unless the message "Klaatu is Klaatu" counts. After a few albums, they eventually did reveal their real identities (not the Beatles), but the public felt betrayed and they were forgotten as quickly as they appeared. Luckily, they've still got quite a following, and their songs are totally worth the listen!
I would really recommend listening to their albums in full, since they're mainly concept albums that tell stories about space, intergalactic wars, and industrialization (and other things, too! Mostly space, though).
Some of my favourite songs of theirs are:
Magentalane
Maybe I'll Move to Mars
Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft
I Can't Help It
We're Off You Know
Ok, that's it for now!
Tumblr media
Actual picture of me sitting on the bed and reading your ask lmao
Absolutely adore that you wrote down a bit about their history!! It’s super interesting!
The songs are stunning and I definitely get where the rumours about them being the Beatles came from. I hope you know that your music recommendations will get passed on to one of my best friends (the one i made the playlist for) and my german teacher, because all three of us are quite fond of the Beatles and regularly exchange music to listen to, so I suppose they will love your recs just as much as I do haha
Please feel free to send me even more asks, I love getting and reading them, especially if it’s with a bit of history hehe

CELLAR DARLING UNVEIL MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'BLACK MOON', LAUNCH PRE-ORDER FOR THIS IS THE SOUND              
CELLAR DARLING, the much-hyped new band formed by ex-ELUVEITIE members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, released a brand new single entitled, 'Black Moon' along with a new music video. The single promotes their debut album This Is The Sound due to be released on June 30th 2017. 'Black Moon' leads CELLAR DARLING's fans through an abstract, apocalyptic vision of the end of the world as seen by different cultures and religions all engulfed in a lunar eclipse. The music video was shot in the beautiful Tenerife.               "We're proud and happy to present to you the first single from our              upcoming album 'This Is The Sound': 'Black Moon'!               'Black Moon' is one of the first songs we wrote after our debut single last year, and probably the point where we definitely "found" our sound. Ivo randomly called his original demo 'Moon' and that triggered the idea of a story based on the fear of a black moon... So, as a lyrical theme, we ended up exploring mankind's tendency to add an apocalyptic interpretation to the lunar eclipse.               We'd like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in the scorching hot   'lunar landscape' of Tenerife: the talented Fabienne Fellmann and her fellow actors as well as AVA Studios and their awesome team!             - Anna, Merlin & Ivo                           Watch the music video here:              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-5ZkRL-EV0&feature=youtu.be               In addition, the band launches the pre-order for This Is The Sound and now you can get their new album in the form of a CD or double vinyl. For a little extra, a limited digibook is also available. It features 3 bonus tracks! Each band member chose a cover song to interpret in CELLAR DARLING’s              own, unique style. Anna picked 'The Cold Song’ from Henry Purcell’s “King Arthur�� opera, Tears for Fears’ 'Mad World’, was chosen by Ivo and              to top it all off - the epic Queen classic 'The Prophet’s Song’ - Merlin’s all time favourite. Also included in the digibook will be an alternative and limited cover artwork plus an extended 32-page booklet, filled with the band’s notes on the stories behind their songs.
Get it here: http://nblast.de/CellarDarlingShop               - each physical copy will come with a signed insert.               Or pre-order the digital version now and receive 'Black Moon', 'Challenge' and 'Fire, Wind and Earth' as instant grats or stream the songs here: http://nblast.de/CDThisIsTheSoundIT               This Is The Sound will see the light of day on June 30th featuring 14 original tracks:              01. Avalanche              02. Black Moon              03. Challenge              04. Hullaballoo              05. Six Days              06. The Hermit              07. Water              08. Fire, Wind & Earth              09. Rebels              10. Under The Oak Tree…              11. …High Above These Crowns              12. Starcrusher              13. Hedonia              14. Redemption                            Bonus tracks, available exclusively on the digibook:              15. The Cold Song              16. Mad World              17. The Prophet’s Song               CELLAR DARLING already played a couple of shows where they premiered their new songs live. Before embarking on a tour with DELAIN and SERENITY, you can see them at the following festivals:              14.07.   CH         Bôle - ParaBôle Festival              18.08.    D           Dinkelsbühl - Summer Breeze                            with DELAIN and SERENITY:                            26.10.   F            Paris - Alhambra              27.10.   CH          Pratteln - Z7              28.10.   D           Bochum - Zeche              29.10.   D            Munich - Backstage              31.10.   UK          Utrecht - Tivoli Vredenburg              01.11.   UK          London -  Koko               The band filmed an entire little studio documentary that will soon be revealed bit by bit on CELLAR DARLING's Facebook page and Youtube channel, so stay tuned!               After their split with ELUVEITIE, Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter quickly realised their musical journey was far from over. What quickly developed was a unique and fresh combination of grand and heavy riffs, powerful drumming and a unique voice along with the signature folky, earthy tones of the hurdy gurdy. This, combined with classical elements as well as inherited folk influences, led to the creation of something entirely new, setting Cellar Darling on the path of musical innovation. CELLAR DARLING released their first single, 'Challenge', and a bonus song called 'Fire, Wind & Earth' in September 2016. Watch the lyric videos here:

GIGsoup Interviews Holiday Music
Formed at the back end of 2014 by multi-instrumentalist Mike Hlady, the Austin-via-Boston outfit Holiday Music has its origin in the Massachusetts indie scene of the late 2000's. Notable amongst this scene were Magic Magic, hailed at the time as one of the 50 best new bands in America by the Boston Phoenix. Despite receiving air play on BBC Radio 1 and having their self-titled debut distributed by legendary UK indie label Rough Trade, strangely and disappointingly a record deal didn't follow suit. After a few more releases and the creation of Hanging Horse Studio, Magic Magic faded quietly into the background and the newly formed Holiday Music came to the fore. Their debut album Atlantis arrived soon after their formation in 2014, and this was quickly followed a year later by Brain Waves Are Real? via Disposable America. Spending a little longer on their third album, John Wayne Syndrome was released in 2017. After another three year gap, their latest and fourth album Certified Ailments arrived at the end of February via Super Wimpy Punch. It was certainly time well spend as it’s their best work to date. Clocking in at under 30 minutes, its eight tracks are packed with a catchy and energetic blend of lo-fi, alt-rock, garage punk and a hint of psychedelia. GIGsoup recently caught up with Holiday Music vocalist and guitarist Mike Hlady to ask him a few questions about their latest album and how life under lockdown has been so far. First of all, congratulations on the new album. Can tell us a little bit about the making of Certified Ailments and inspirations behind it? The title is based on things that are bad for you. Things that make you feel good, but might not be good for you. I started recording the year before last doing demos. Then, last year I brought a couple songs to a friend of mine and really focused on overdubbing and finalizing everything. Mixing was a collaborative effort between myself, Evan Wynn and Daniel McNeill. We got the single ‘Expire Medicine’ mastered by the legendary Greg Calbi. It’s cool all the nice feedback we’ve gotten from everyone on the album. I do think this one finally represents ‘our sound’.  http://youtu.be/aX8JQ_-C7KE Did you get to tour the new album much before venues started locking down? We didn’t. It seemed to come at such a poor time. I had been wanting to put this album out for a while, and finally after coordinating with Super Wimpy Punch we decided to on February.  We had an album release show on the day it came out with our friends in Spirit Ghost, and then that was that. We had a bunch of shows set up for SXSW with lots of cool folks from out of town. It was a bummer because we haven’t seen some of the bands in a long time. How has life under lockdown been for you so far? How have you been occupying yourself? What music have you been listening to? Yeah, going a little crazy but trying to remain a stone statue as I usually do. Reading more, working on mixing music for friends, and video gaming. I watched Pink Floyd live from Pompeii on YouTube and it was insane. It’s awesome having the time to do that. I'm trying to let other stuff inspire me so making music comes more naturally. Right now, while writing this I'm listening to 'Venus in Furs' by Velvet Underground and 'Hurdy Gurdy Man' by Donovan.  Some bands new and old I’ve been listening to are Guided by Voices, Minutemen, Pixies, Disq, Broadcast, Bowie, Thin Lizzy, Kate Bush, Unicorns, Cocteau Twins, Pearl Jam, Modest Mouse, Stephen Malkmus and Roxy Music.  More artists have been opting for cassette only releases in recent years, what was your thinking behind putting Certified Ailments on tape as opposed to vinyl or CD? I actually always think to do vinyl but it’s so expensive. Vinyl is for the real collectors. CD is fantastic too. I’m all about CD’s but CD players are harder to come by I think. Tapes are cool and as I’ve collected more myself I think they are efficient and get the job done. They are definitely a desirable medium. http://youtube.com/watch?v=z6CV65Jsxqk I saw that you were involved in the creation of Hanging Horse Studio with some friends a few years back. Is it still operating? It’s not. It disbanded and everyone shifted more to doing their own thing. Which is cool. There ore recording studios or home setups all over now. Also, more music coming out from everybody. I did the first two Holiday Music albums there which you can definitely hear it in them. Brainwaves Are Real? especially. Hanging Horse was initially more of a recording studio rehearsal space for Magic Magic. Those were some really amazing times. Being a big fan of your work with Magic Magic I have to ask, what happened with the band? Are you all still in touch? Your debut was one of the best albums of the 2000’s for me personally, and among the great ‘lost’ records of my lifetime. It slowly fizzled out with time I guess. I’ve learned that time is more crucial than you think with art or a band. John and I still will work on stuff all the time to this day. All of us do still collaborate actually, under whatever moniker. It doesn’t matter what, it’s just the creation process everyone needs in their life. John and I work really well together at creating. When we are all together with Brendan and Dylan, it all clicks again too. Over time, we all just got pulled in different directions. We did a new Magic Magic record a couple years ago but never really finished it. Maybe it’ll see the surface at some point. How do you think the virus will affect touring and the live music scene when things gradually start to open back up again? I’m not sure, but I’m hoping we stay closed for a while to be safe. It’s not easy to say that because I work in live music. I want to play out in the world again dearly but I guess we’ll have to stick with livestreams for now. I’m doing a livestream on Monday 4th May via Super Wimpy Punch which will be on their Instagram (3:30pm CST / 4:30pm EST). You can follow Holiday Music on Bandcamp, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Their latest album Certified Ailments is available via Super Wimpy Punch. Read the full article
