Lana Del Rey -- Mariners Apartment Complex
https://youtu.be/1uFv9Ts7Sdw?si=T5Zc3PC52fXopEAa

Every so often I will use a random number generator to pick out something from my YouTube playlists.

I saved this a few years ago because the mysterious melancholy appealed to me, and that appeal still holds.

That appeal of this distinctly American sound in these troubled times reminds me of how conflicted my feelings about the USA and its culture(s) are.

The setting makes me think once again of how I really must get myself to LA and the vicinity.

🎹 RHAPSODY IN BLUE

February 12, 1924 — Aeolian Hall, New York City.

A young George Gershwin sits at the piano. The room holds its breath. Then: a clarinet glissando that slides like silk into the American consciousness.

What follows is a collision — classical precision meeting jazz improvisation, the concert hall dancing with the speakeasy. A musical love letter to a city that never sleeps, written in blue notes and skyscraper rhythms.

Paul Whiteman called it An Experiment in Modern Music. History called it the sound of a new century finding its voice.

One hundred and two years later, those opening bars still shimmer. Still surprise. Still sound like the future.

Alan Hovhaness - Alleluia and Fugue
https://youtu.be/Dj6Wa4O6IV8?si=wpbPzSwFoVIL9lEN

I don't actively hate the music of Hovhaness, but I find it difficult to distinguish one piece of his from another. They all seem to lapse into something that sounds like the score of a 16mm educational film of the fifties about the natural wonders of the American west.

Perhaps I'm just an insensitive philistine -- or perhaps not.
