Random Music Thoughts


It’s not surprising, then, that Coltrane permeates the work of Muriel Grossmann, a Barcelona-based saxophonist whose new album, Quiet Earth, is the latest in a string of impressive records she’s released since 2007. The past four years have been especially active: albums Natural Time, Momentum, Golden Rule, and Reverence arrived in quick sequence and seemingly out of nowhere. And each one feels indebted to Coltrane’s mystical period of the mid-’60s, when albums like A Love Supreme, Ascension, and Meditations sought connections with higher powers. “I am fascinated by how his energy can flow so freely, his sound is of utmost beauty to me,” Grossmann writes in an email. “Once you discover John Coltrane, it’s for life.”
 
I guess I'm either having my own Mandela Effect or there has been a certain amount of revisionism going on.

I originally downloaded the Explosions In The Sky album, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die... from eMusic. I distinctly remember the last track on the album being called "Plane Will Crash Tomorrow". According to Wiki, it was never called that. Mandela Effect or revisionism?

@axolotl, do you remember the name of that last track?

UnSom, we have never had a member named Axolotl. Are you OK? Do you want to sit down for a while and rest?

Weird. I went to look in my collection, and I have zero CDs listed alphabetically between The Evens and Faded Paper Figures. :eek:

Nah, not really. I have four CDs from Explosions in the Sky, including that one. Looking at the inserts, there is no direct song list, only phrases.

On one inside cover, there is the phrase "help us stay alive."

On the next, there is one word in larger type. It is "die." Then, in the same, smaller type as HUSA are the following: "greet death," "yasmin the light," and "the moon is down."

Next, after a page of credits, is the following: In larger type, "live forever." Underneath, in the smaller type are the phrases: "have you passed through this night?," "a poor man's memory," and "with tired eyes, tired minds, tired souls, we slept."

On the last page, there is the final phrase in the small type: "this plane will crash tomorrow."

My take is, there are two overarching themes in the title of the album: those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever.

They are "die" and "live forever." The song titles are underneath these major themes.

The phrase "this plane will crash tomorrow" must not be one of the song titles, evidently. Like "help us stay alive" is not a song title, but I dunno.

This kind of ambiguity is why we have urban legends, looney lies, and conspiracy theories. They are a cancer to the party, and Moscow Mitch does not want to hear about them any longer.

Ugh! THAT guy! Good riddance!

He's so nice you said it twice?

I just checked my original MP3 version of the album from eMusic, and yes, indeed the last track is called "Plane Will Crash Tomorrow."
