Nothing wrong with that…Stevie Wonder was at his creative best during the early ’70s.

By the time he turned out “I Just Called…” (in his post-Hotter Than July phase) it was his hackwork phase.

Nevertheless, Stevie and Prince are among the figures in my musical pantheon.

never can listen to radio nowadays. its all covers and revivals.
back in the day it was all Nu107 and twisted in the morning.
Stevie Wonder has other great songs. but the titles escape me. overjoyed is overkilled here in our land of the rising sun. paolo santos isthatchu!

nah, it’s age. adolescence was all about hoping someone else articulated what the hell you were going through. and music usually dunnit. discovering a parallel universe where killer riffs mirrored your pimply ansgt. then to be told that you’ve been dazed and confused for so long, gosh, e=mc2 moment!

What’s wrong with today’s music? Homogeneity. Seriously, I can’t tell one band from another.

I have a theory, though. Music, particularly Indie Rock, is heavily influenced by the type of drugs in vogue at the time. In the 50s they had reefers, so they had a folk-y, bluesy, laid back feel. In the 60s and 70s LSD came in and you had psychedelia. The 80s had coke and the guys started wearing eyeliner and hairgel. The 90’s had meth so you had hyperactive bands. Today’s indie rock has… booze. It’s cheap and numbing and makes you want to throw up.

I’m a blues guy myself, so I can’t really relate to stevie’s ballads, or his superstitions. Led Zep, on the other hand, is right up there with my eric clapton cd’s. Too bad there are so few of us that are into blues. Record store clerks don’t even know what blues is, so looking for a blues album is like looking for Dr. Livingstone.
Thank God for the Internet.

My students would kid me every time i sing Overjoyed or Lately. “Sir, wala ba kayo alam na bagu-bago naman?” I haven’t listened to the radio since Jessica’s radio show in NU107 stopped.

I guess you can forgive Stevie for doing “I Just Called To Say I love you”. His other soulful ballads acquit him. The reference to that song reminded me of the first time i sang along to a minus-one tape. I was in grade 4 then, and the song i tried to sing was “I Just Called…”, my father would bawl at me because i sang along to the backing vocals in second voice. as in “Bhojoh, para kang bingi! Second voice ang kinakanta mo!”

get “talking book”. at the end of “high fidelity” it fades out with “i believe (when i fall in love it will be forever)”, the last track on the album. makes you totally forget about the coma girl song

weird but for the past 2 days i’ve been listening to “knocks me off my feel” by stevie on my pc at work. my cubicle neighbors are starting to get annoyed.

haven’t been listening to the radio recently. i dont know but today’s music doesnt really interest me.

i find myself listening to a lot of 9o’s stuff. mathew sweet, smoking popes, stone roses, teenage fan club. takes me back to my college years. those were simpler times for me…
haaaaaaaaaaaaaay………
