Mike Stern's "Big Neighborhood:" A Jazz Fusion Block Party

Introduction: Released on August 11, 2009, Mike Stern’s “Big Neighborhood” is an album that stands as a testament to the breadth of jazz fusion, where eclectic styles blend seamlessly with intricate musicianship. Stern, a jazz guitarist with an impressive resume spanning decades, brought his fourteenth solo studio album to life with the help of some of the most talented musicians in the…

Albums of 2024

no particular order, but this is what I have been enjoying.... I have vertigo from the glut of music, but at the same time, the freedom from any sense that anyone could possibly ever be definitive in their choices any more is a wonderful thing in its way.

Mystery Tiime – Maudlin Tales of Grief and Love

Utter misery in kitchen sink post-punk pop form from Ayman Rostom aka The Maghreban. This one will really get under your skin. My review.

Isabell Gustafsson-Ny – Rosenhagtorn

Beatifully sparse and wonky abstract folk-classical micro-album that feels very real and very raw. My review...

T. Williams – Raves of Future Past 

Absolutely faultless collection of bangers, which as the title suggests, go round the houses exploring UK bass genres. Comes with comic and action figure too!

NikNak – Ireti

She wanted to make a soundtrack to a "Black Blade Runner" and by god she did it! Real thrill ride of an album. She was on BMTatR in June...

MOMO – Gira 

I'd never come across this now London-based Brazilian guy before but the algorithm flung "Pára" my way, I got completely addicted, then I discovered the video which radiates subtropical heat, then the album and it's been on rotation since. Total pleasure principle stuff.

Gagarin – Komorebi 

Yes another BMTatR subject, and yes we tragically lost Graham this year: he did the pics and interview knowing he was dying, but like the interview his last album is a model of stoicism and how to take joy in the moment despite the worst happening.

Amanda Whiting – The Liminality of Her 

Can't remember how I stumbled on this Welsh jazz harpist, but her music is the epitome of soft music for hard times. Very lovely indeed.

Meemo Comma – Decimation of I

A bleak ambient concept album about Russian retro-scifi, alien infiltration and planetary consciousness? Aw hell yes, and it's Lara Rix-Martin's best yet. Here she is on BMTatR...

Susanna – Meditations on Love

Another artist growing into themselves year by year, with a fantastically strange set of torch songs. I reviewed it here.

Trendafilka – For the Olives

Definitely wasn't expecting to be bowled over by a Balkan choir from New Orleans but there it is!

Xylitol – Anemones

Cosmic retro jungle with some garage and footworking twists? It all feels familiar but Catherine Backhouse does it with such commitment and panache it just fizzles with life.

Nia Archives – Silence Is Loud

It's jungle, it's hardcore, it's indie, it's PROPER POP, and it's glorious. My review here.

A Taut Line – Restoration 

Like a set of haunting short stories or painted vignettes in techno and abstract post-dubstep form, Brit in Tokyo Matt Lyne made his best work yet here.

Rosie Lowe – Lover, Other

Very much more soft music for hard times, but super innovative and stimulating with it, a gorgeous neo-trip hop exploration that I reviewed here.

J Mascis – What Do We Do Now?

Mascis is just an elemental force isn't he? All these years later and he still touches the soul, seemingly effortlessly. My review here...

Deep Fade – Further 

PROPER FUCKING DARK, this. Noisy, bleak, scary goth-industrial-ambient from Amanda Votta and her merry crew - she also made the more abstract/ambient Impermanence this year which is just as dark and good.

Nala Sinephro – Endlessness

More jazz harp! This time blended with modular synth bloops. Album number two, and a significant step up for Sinephro, a total balm for the soul through and through...

Hifi Sean & David McAlmont – Daylight

Of course Sean and David were early BMTatR subjects - and their mature and prolific working relationship continues to fascinate. This is how you do an ALBUM album: the mood accumulates and accumulates then the last two tracks are just a dynamite payoff. And bloody hell they've got a follow-up ready just six months later...

Ka – The Thief Next to Jesus

SHAME on me only discovering Ka following his untimely death, but the Brooklyn rapper is just world class - and his 11th album grapples with religion and society in really complex but completely gripping ways.

Alley Cat – The Widow Project

Like I said in my review: "If the names Pinch, Vex’d, Burial, Digital Mystikz, The Bug mean anything to you, stop reading now and buy or stream this album. Seriously, go. Go get it."

Jowee Omicil – SpirituaL HeaLinG : Bwa KayiMan FreedoM Suite

An absolutely wild spontaneous Haitian revolutionary free jazz ritual. Find out about its genesis in my interview.

Becky Hill – Believe Me Now?

Like the Nia Archives album, this is second generation rave pop made by someone who has the culture in their bones, and it's full of undeniable joyous adrenaline rushes and banger upon banger upon banger. My review here.

Doechii – Alligator Bites Never Heal

Showing that there is still room for the old fashioned "did you see??" moment where it seems like everyone is suddenly talking about an artist at once, Doechii absolutely killed it last month with the one-two punch of her Late Show performance and Tiny Desk concert. A megastar in the making, hopefully.

Heavee – Unleash

Chicago's footworking music continues to mature and grow and this super-rich take on it is up there with the very best.

Juls – Peace & Love

Superstar Afrobeats producer broadening his palette and really getting celebratory with a cast of thousands, proper good-times music. I talked about it with him here.

WHY? – The Well I Fell Into

Grandiose grown up radio pop and soft rock somehow perfectly blended into the quirky indietronica and psychedelic hip hop of Yoni Wolf's roots, amazing stuff. My review.

Jeff Mills – The Trip: Enter the Black Hole

This man's work rate is insane. He made TWO great solo albums this year - the more post-classical / minimalist The Eye Witness (which I reviewed here), and this denser, more electronic intense beast of a sci-fi mind-movie. It is indeed a trip.

Manga St Hilaire & MoreNight – Everything is Under Control

It hasn't been a vintage year for grime albums - though shouts to C4, Jammz and a heavyweight 28-track Polish extravaganza from Miły ATZ - but this album is absolutely world class, Manga showing just how grown up the genre can be, and the production from MoreNight giving it a consistency and great dancefloor undercurrent.

Kayla Painter – Fractures

I've consistently enjoyed the Bristolian's strange and spooky electronics, and I am a sucker for solar system exploration, so I was always going to love this tbh.

The Jesus and Mary Chain – Glasgow Eyes

Absolutely boggling the Reid bros are not just surviving but innovating wildly so many years on. My review.

seo – §eo

I am a massive fanboy for Lagos's Eseomo Mayaki - a genuine eccentric in a world of could-be-AI conformity. This and the two volumes of ASSMIX 5000 EP continued her endlessly prolific creative streak. Meet her in this profile I did for the WIRE.

Ganavya – Daughter of a Temple

Bassist, poet, mystic etc etc etc Ganavya gathered 30 musicians together for a RITUAL, partially in tribute to John and Alice Coltrane and their universal visions and oh wow...

Andreas Werliin, Johan Berthling, and Oren Ambarchi – Ghosted II

You can't go wrong with Ambarchi, and just as on the first Ghosted these are some truly outstanding percussiony, geometrical jazz hypno-jams

Jaz Karis – Safe Flight

She's previously collabbed with Katy B and she's on the Juls album above duetting with Ghetts so you know JK is going to be great right? This is UK soul in rude health, in particular benefiting from a dose of amapiano influence which I discussed here...

LL COOL J – The Force

Oh HELL yes you can call it a comeback. And hell yes it is as good as everyone says - both Q Tip's giddily inventive production and LL's flows that outclass all the top ranking guests. My review.

μ-Ziq – Grush

Definitely a good year for Planet Mu with the Meemo Comma, Xylitol and this - label boss Mike Paradinas on absolutely top whimsical, melodic, grooving form.

Jeremy Sylvester – Underground Hero Album

BANGERS BANGERS BANGERS - a good parallel for the T Williams album in getting to the very bone marrow of UK underground sound, and doing it with relentless rave energy. Thanks so much to Chris and Hue of Skill Issue for flagging this up as I had missed it!

Five Green Moons – Moon 1 

There's definitely a running theme in these albums of artists maturing - and certainly this album of digital dub / 80s dancehall done in a spooky creatures of the English hedgerows stylee is up there with Justin Robertson's very best work. He was on BMTatR too, and we got fantastically abstract.

Ryuichi Sakamoto – Opus

A painful listen this - literally: you can hear Sakamoto's laboured breathing as he plays piano on this posthumously-released album - but a beautiful one. I wrote about his enduring relationship with the instrument here.

Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft

She may not get the hype that Taylor / Charli / Chappell do in 2024, but artistically Billie E consistently leaves them all in the shade. To have a pop star this big, and this subtly - but intensely - subversive, and also making deep and lush music, is a great thing.

James Hardway - El Camino Duro

Yes we did HIM for BMTatR too - and there's more to come because he's got such an insane wealth of stories. But Harrow NEVER rests on his laurels - this was just one of an album every month in 2024 to mark him turning 60. Some were space dub, some were ambient, but all were great and this jazz, breaks and bass one is a masterpiece.

The Cure – Songs of a Lost World

Given that the last time they were this good they were my favourite band in the world, and I was 16 and full of raging hormones and sad dreams, this return to form hit really hard. My review.

Underworld – Strawberry Hotel

Another band maturing brilliantly, this feels like they're really enjoying just being themselves: just like the lovely sleeve art, it is full of colour and interest in the living detail of things.

Arooj Aftab – Night Reign

More soft music for hard times, more jazz harp, and a whole lot of - as AA describes them - "sad, sexy songs". Music for staring out of windows to, in the best possible way.

Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown

Beautifully sung of course, but this album is really about texture and arrangement, it's one to sink deep into and float away...

① 10 Creatives

1 | Jonathan Hallam

Jonathan Hallam was a photographer for Margiela between 1996-2006. I am most intrigued by his photographs of Margiela staff, taken directly on photographic paper using expired film. The outcomes remind me of polaroid photography, where the outcome is often out of focus and the process is very spontaneous.

2 | Petra Collins

Petra Collins is a photographer exclusively shooting on 35mm film. Her images explores themes of femininity, sexuality and identity. Her colour grading is very 'american dream', however her subject matter contrasts the bright colour choice.

3 | Pentagram

Pentagram is the world's largest design firm. I like how they are able to adapt to different clients, no matter the client vision. They are able to design from minimalism to maximalism.

4 | Maison Margiela

Founded by Martin Margiela in 1988, the fashion house is known for deconstructed and avant-garde garments. Up until 1997, their labels were kept completely bare on garments as Martin Margiela wanted to create a brand with no branding. In 1977, a modular logo using a numbering system was introduced as the house began to introduce a larger variety of products that expanded out of clothing. Each number on the logo represents a different collection, and the corresponding number would be circled on the specific products. Margiela is also responsible for popularising the tradition Japanese tabi shoe.

5 | Na Kim

Na Kim is a NYC based illustrator, specialising in book covers. She is also the current Art Director of the magazine 'The Paris Review'. I love how she is able to condense the core concept and the title of the book into something graphic that is immediately recognisable to the reader.

6 | Droga5

One of the top creative agencies in the world. They create a variety of campaigns for brands, except they aren't created in the typical way. Almost all their campaigns follow a narrative, a story that the viewer unravels as they dive deeper into a campaign.

7 | Ladislav Sutnar

Czech Republic based designer Ladislab Sutnar was one of the pioneers of information design and information architecture. His style is usually classified as Contrustivism, with Bauhaus fundamentals. His designs aimed to provide mass amounts of information to the reader in a concise and organsied way. He often used punctuation symbols such as parenthesis to help organise information.

8 | Phoebe Philo

Phoebe Philo is a fashion designer most well for her years as the creative director of Céline. Her designs are defined by clean lines, minimalism, and a tonal colour palette. Based on the female gaze, Phoebe Philo redefined what the modern women wants to wear, considering the functionality and comfort of the garments she designs. Since stepping down from Céline as the creative director, her designs are highly sought after on the resale market.

9 | Ann Demeulemeester

Ann Demeulemeester is a fashion designer, part of the infmaous Antwerp Six. Though she dosen't want to put a label on her style, her designs create a dark and glamorous aesthetic, paired with elegant tailoring. Her style is very similar to those who fall under the anti-fashion category, such as Yohji Yamamoto.

10 | George Platt Lynes

George Platt Lynes was an American commercial and fashion photographer, working between 1930-1940s, mostly photographing gay artists and writers at the time. At the time, his photographs were considered taboo and mailing them around would've resulted in jail time or a fine. His photographs are highly stylised, expressionistic, yet minimalist and suggestive in nature.

Movies I watched this Week # 149 (Year 3/Week 45):

Between 'Mean Streets' and 'Alice doesn't live here anymore', Martin Scorsese made the documentary ItalianAmerican, which is basically a home movie. It features his parents bicker and talk at their apartment, remembering the old days of their families.

🍿

2 with teenager Scarlett Johansson:

🍿 Re-watch: Sofia Coppola's Lost in translation, while waiting for her latest 'Priscilla'. "Sleepless in Shinjuko". Sad and vulnerable 17-year-old Scarlett Johansson, a 'stranger in a strange land' is having a 'Brief Encounter' moment, with less-asshole-than-usual Bill Murray. (Photos Above).

Another melancholic exploration of a lonely young woman, who finds herself captured in a privileged gilded cage. An exceptional, subtle masterpiece. 10/10.

🍿 The horse whisperer starred 14-year-old Johansson as a horse-lover who becomes emotionally stunted after a riding accident that caused her to lose part of her leg (all in the first 10 minutes of the film). It's a sloooow, traditional 3-hour-long story about healing, told mostly in beautifully-cinematic Montana. But it worked for me, in spite of the well-shot sentimentality. 7/10.

🍿

My first 2 by German auteur Christian Petzold, both with Paula Beer:

🍿 Afire - a tremendous, complex drama about a vain, immature writer on a working vacation. The little summer cottage close to the Baltic sea, is soon encroached by a forest fire, as does his self-centered world view of himself and his art. It starts at one emotional point, and skillfully moves to a completely different, tense level. 9/10.

🍿 Petzold wanted to make a series of films about the 4 elements. Undine refers to the myth of 'water nymphs', so rivers, industrial diving, large aquariums, and drowning in a pool are all part of the story. It's a lovely, simple romance, which eventually turns into a dark fantasy. My 5th film with Franz Rogowski. 4/10.

🍿

3 More of Claude Chabrol’s Hitchcockian thrillers:

🍿 “… You like meat?…”

Le Boucher, a low-key, atmospheric thriller about a single woman who befriends a village butcher, who's also a serial killer. Fantastic snapshot of the people at 'the country' (Dordogne) at this time. 9/10.

🍿 The ceremony (La Cérémonie) is a similar dark story, set in a solid bourgeoisie family. Isabelle Huppert & Sandrine Bonnaire becomes friends and eventually decide kill them all. Like 'Stanley & Iris' from last week, the protagonist is illiterate. 6/10.

🍿 The Unfaithful Wife, another terrific, low-key, civilized study of a French bourgeois household. A loving husband discovers that his loving wife is having an affair, and ends up killing her lover. I liked it so much, and thought it would be a very good candidate for a modern remake. Then I remembered Adrian Lyne's 'Unfaithful' with the luminous Diane Lane in the Stéphane Audran role. Maybe I should watch it again! 8/10.

I discovered Chabrol late, and have only seen about 10% of his 74 movies. Now I have to see them all!

🍿

Milf, another film with Virginie Ledoyen, a soft-core sex comedy. Three older women looking to hook up with boys 20 years younger. A similar concept to the Naomi Watts film 'Adoration'. I only watched it because it is directed by a woman and had 13 on the Tomato score. Better than Zalman King.

🍿

Wow! After 4 months of anticipation, the venerable bio-pic Oppenheimer finally hit my free streamers. I watched all 3 hours of it but left completely underwhelmed. This is the seventh of Christopher Nolen's praised big-budget epic films that I saw, and so far none of them had floated my boat. Okay, so I'm not a big blockbusters fan.

It's not very hip to rail against McCarthyism in 2023. Twenty-twenty revisionist vision, mambo-jumbo pseudoscience, overwrought endless, loud soundtrack, and basically the usual biography of a "Great man", which is always a boring subject for a movie. 4/10.

🍿

3 by regular Fincher screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker:

🍿 On the other hand, David Fincher’s new thriller The killer was a thrill ride that was a joy to watch. A cold blooded professional assassin, laconic and super-human, flies around the world ruthlessly killing people. Mesmerizing (but predictable) suspense with an effective Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross score. I could do without the inner monologue that replaced conversations in the story. Also, a great comic book knock-out fight after an hour and a half of deliberate, slow go. 7/10.

🍿 In 2001, BMW produced 8 short films by famous directors as "Branded Content", i.e. advertisements. Called 'The hire' they all featured Clive Owen driving Beamers around the world. AKW wrote two of them:

The Follow was directed by Wong Kar-wai, and was about an aborted diamond heist.

Ambush was directed by John Frankenheimer, and was about a woman being followed by her husband.

The other shorts were by John Woo, Tony Scott, Ang Lee, etc.

🍿

5 more Danish films, 3 with Henning Moritzen (The patriarch from ‘Celebration’) and 2 with Mads Mikkelsen:

🍿 Tænk på et tal (Think of a number), a 1969 old-fashion, enjoyable Danish 'Krimi' with an enduring theme song. A meek bank teller finds a discarded note from a bank robber, and gets involved in a lethal game.

This story was later remade into the Elliott Gould caper 'The silent partner'. I love such slow and delightful dramas, and I love Bibi Andersson.

it’s funny how movies that used to be throwaway entertainment products 60 years ago, gain completely different meaning today. I should start exploring the many Danish Noir from the 40's and 50's. 7/10.

🍿 50 years later, In the Oscar-nominated short The pig, Moritzen is old and fat, and is being hospitalised for some tests. There he lays and finds comfort in a simple picture of a pig jumping over a fence. Delightful!

🍿 On the other hand, Now is another Danish short (from 2003) starring Mads Mikkelsen. But it's an artsy-fartsy, humor-less, word-less "Art film", shot in black & white, with a constant baby crying. Like 'An Andalusian Dog' but without the charm and the magic… 1/10.

🍿 I was surprised to realize just now that my favorite Danish screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen directed only 5 features and 3 shorts. (but he wrote 59 scripts!). Wolfgang is an early short of his, and not his best. Now I've seen all the movies that he directed.

I can't wait for his upcoming 'Monster of Florence' with Antonio Banderas and 'Back to reality'. Yeah!

🍿 So I took in one more viewing of his sentimental After the wedding, maybe for the 10th time. So full of emotional twists, old-fashioned melodrama, Sigur Rós score and peak Sidse Babett Knudsen.

🍿

Budapest Noir, a Hungarian murder mystery, set up in anti-semitic 1936. A hard boiled crime reporter investigates a murder of a beautiful prostitute, like a Jake Gittes named Zsigmond. Very strong 'Chinatown' vibes, including a smokey jazz score that tries to recreate its haunting atmosphere, and even the final line of dialogue "This is Budapest". 5/10.

[This is the 115th woman-directed film I've seen so far this year!].

🍿

Dumb money, the first enjoyable Reddit movie, about the 2021 GameStop short squeeze. Compelling Class War rhetoric with Seth Rogen as the billionaire 'heavy'. Up-to-the-minute updated drama of the 1% Vs. the unwashed masses. I think it will endure as another worthy addition to the sub-genre of 'highly entertaining explanation to boring real-life financial story', just like 'The big short' and 'Margin call'.

However, it used an Artificial Intelligent editing model that color-corrected the whole movie into a weird, fake, washed up look. 8/10.

🍿

First watch: Kurosawa's bleak Drunken Angel, an early post-war Yakuza film, and the first of the 16 collaborations between him and Toshiro Mifume. An alcoholic doctor befriends a young hoodlum suffering from tuberculosis. Located around an open sewer in a seedy neighborhood, still suffering under the American occupation.

🍿

Ikarie XB 1 (Or 'Voyage to the End of the Universe' as it was called in American), an influential and ambitious 1963 Czechoslovakian science-fiction saga, based on a Stanisław Lem novel. "Futuristic" space decor and story, very much in the Star Trek style. Cultish 1960's popcorn philosophy, but nonsensical and not a serious world building. Not for me - 1/10.

🍿

Thank Dog that the third season of Tim Robinson’s 'I think you should leave' was so short. The first season was outrageously different. The second season was a 'repeat on a theme'. This one was just cringey irrelevant. Absurd, awkward, confusing situations, exploding rage at small mistakes. No!

🍿

My first (and last) stand-up by comedian Nate Bergatze, The greatest average American. Average stories of 'relatable' everyday nitty gritty were hardly worth a chuckle.

🍿

A note on George Platt Lynes and Heartstoppers

A note on George Platt Lynes and Heartstoppers

Don’t mess with a queen: ‘George Platt Lynes was the true pariah amongst (Lincoln Kirstein’s) classmates’, who seem uniformly to have regarded him as a foppish freak, a sneering little bitch who fancies he is too pretty to look at and saunters in like Fifi D’Orsay. The turning point came when Lynes, endlessly bullied, teased and in utter desperation, ‘whipped out his knife and melodramatically…

A Century of Black Music Against State Violence

Spanning 1927 to 2012, this NPR collection of protest songs in reaction to the infinite forms of racism in the United States is utterly fascinating in its research, by a number of writers and interpretations, of songs both familiar and obscure. You’ll never hear Saturday Night Fish Fry the same way after reading this. The musical range of these songs about the black experience firsthand is also awesome.

イギリス民謡「スカボロー・フェア」の歴史

この動画は30分もあって、濃い。フィールドレコーディングの音源も紹介されてる。

The True Story of “Scarborough Fair” and "The Elfin Knight" - with 30 historical recordings - YouTube

(Scarborough Fair - A Melodic History I - YouTubeから)

最後の字幕（DeepL訳）

歌詞は、古い曲であることは分かっている。歌詞のほとんどは、元の文脈から変更され、歪曲されているため、どの程度古いかは不明です。 音楽的には、伴奏の音楽はすべて現代的である。 しかし、謎めいたドリアン旋法のメロディーはどうだろう。モダンなのかオーセンティックなのか？ 皆さんのご意見をお聞かせください。

スカボロー・フェア - Wikipedia

『スカボロー・フェア』（Scarborough Fair）はイギリスの伝統的バラッドである。 この歌は、スカーバラ（スカボロー）の市（フェア）で、聴き手に昔の恋人への伝言を頼むという形式を取っており、「縫い目のないシャツ」を作ったり、それを「乾いた井戸で洗う」など、一連の不可能な仕事を成し遂げてくれれば、再び恋人になれるだろうと歌っている。 『スカボロー・フェア』の歌詞はバラッド『エルフィンナイト』[1]に共通したものが見られ、これは1670年頃に遡る。18世紀末には現在の『スカボロー・フェア』とほぼ同様の歌詞が記録されているが[2]、「スカーバラの市」に言及するバージョンの最古の例は1883年のものである[3]。 古いバージョンでは伝言形式ではなく、そのため地名に対する言及もないものや、伝言形式であっても他の地名に言及しているものが見られる（ウィッティンガムの市、ケープアン、"twixt Berwik and Lyne" など）

フランク・キッドソンの Traditional Tunes (1891) [10]には2種類の『スカボロー・フェア』の楽譜が収録されているが、いずれも現在良く知られているものとは全く異なる陽気でユーモラスなメロディである。 サイモン&ガーファンクルの演奏などで有名な『スカボロー・フェア』のメロディは、イワン・マッコールとペギー・シーガーによる The Singing Island (1960) に収録されているものに由来する。 これは1947年に「ヨークシャーのミドルトン・イン・ティーズデールの元鉛鉱夫のマーク・アンダーソン」(p. 109) から教わったものだとされる。しかしその歌詞は僅かな変更を除いてはキッドソン版を丸ごと借用している[4]。

サイモン&ガーファンクルの1966年のアルバム『パセリ・セージ・ローズマリー・アンド・タイム』に収録された「スカボロー・フェア／詠唱（Scarborough Fair / Canticle）」[11]は、「スカボロー・フェア」を基に、ポール・サイモン作の反戦歌「ザ・サイド・オブ・ア・ヒル」より引用した歌詞を加え[12] 、主にアート・ガーファンクルが作曲した新しいメロディをつけた[13][14]「詠唱」を対位法的に重ねている。 サイモンは渡英した際にマーティン・カーシーからこの曲のことを知って気に入り、これにアレンジを加えてリリースした。1967年の映画『卒業』の挿入歌として用いられ、世界的に有名になった。

Scarborough Fair (ballad) - Wikipedia

The copyright credited only Simon and Garfunkel as the authors, which upset Carthy, who felt that the "traditional" source should have been credited. The rift persisted until Simon invited Carthy to perform the song with him as a duet at a London concert in 2000. サイモンとガーファンクルのみが作者としてクレジットされており、「伝統的な」出典がクレジットされるべきだと感じていたカーシーを怒らせた 2000年にサイモンがロンドンのコンサートでカーシーを招いてこの曲をデュエットするまで、この対立は続いた

The first recorded version using the best-known melody was performed by Audrey Coppard on the 1956 album English Folk Songs.[17] A decade after collecting the song, MacColl released his own version, accompanied by Peggy Seeger on guitar, on the 1957 LP Matching Songs of the British Isles and America[18] and an a capella rendition another decade later on The Long Harvest (1967).[19] In 1965, Martin Carthy sang "Scarborough Fair" on his eponymous debut album after having picked up the tune from the songbook by MacColl and Seeger.[20]

（DeepL訳）最もよく知られたメロディを用いた最初の録音版は、1956年のアルバム『English Folk Songs』でオードリー・コパード Audrey Coppard が演奏＊した[17]。

この曲を収集してから10年後、イワン・マッコールはペギー・シーガーのギターを伴った自身のバージョン＊＊を1957年のLP『Matching Songs of the British Isles and America』で、さらに10年後にアカペラ版を『The Long Harvest』（1967）でリリースしている[19]。

1965年、マーティン・カーシーは自身の名を冠したデビュー・アルバムで、マッコールとシーガーの歌集からこの曲を取り上げ、「Scarborough Fair」を歌った[20]。

Those in power who have fascist ideologies, they seem aligned with the Camarilla. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, that’s what I say. @littlerani

Had it not been for Martin Luther King, minorities would still be under segregation and Jim Crow laws. There are those in power who want to implement those laws again, and we have to stop them! We must, and we will! @ebbyscrooge @joshuawilliams74 @retiredgeneral1692 @sweeneytodddemonbarber
