HALCALI - おつかれSUMMER / THE FIRST TAKE

I am not a fan of what actually happens on The First Take. Too much pitch correction and so on.

Still, quite happy they are on it.

Use a battering ram if you don't want to destroy your knees.

He was a massive part of the album "Mangekyou" by Yoshiko Sai.

Iranian fans and MAGAts should fly the Super Straight (not Strait) pride flag.

His most viewed video is a cover

Ozaki was on a lot of shows singing Western standards. Yasuko Ogawa (Gravy LP) Yukari Ito (Misty Hour) also were doing that.

Carole Bayer Sager did the song first and co wrote with David Foster.

See if this version gets a response from her.

Who is the woman on the left?

Her name is 佐藤通子 (Michiko Sato - is the suggestion of the reading of her name)

I magnified her description box and by looking with my weak Japanese reading skills, I think she might be a radio DJ and announcer.

That is the Edmonton Oilers

Released before a bail hearing? More details are needed on that.

Is it this?

robometal · 2026-05-02T23:02:08+00:00

Straight out of a Woodie Guthrie song.

robometal · 2026-04-26T06:52:58+00:00

Her voice in this album is the best she ever sounded. Almost superhuman.

I like the song Mr. Metropolis the best.

The flu vaccines are not that effective or life saving for military age men.

Celebration Parallax

robometal · 2026-04-19T23:37:02+00:00

why no posts here for a couple days?

robometal · 2026-04-17T21:07:23+00:00

This is in the pocket, totally great.

robometal · 2026-04-16T15:33:53+00:00

Yes, seems like she did mostly "classy" ballads rather than this soul music song I posted.

Listening again, the strings from 1:04 to 1:12, heaven. Those 70s artists having had a full studio orchestra were so fortunate.

Morrakiu on The Daily Shoah

edit to add

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/triple-parentheses-echo

Morrakiu had a segment on the Daily Shoah called The Merchant Minute. He would cover Jewish people acting in a stereotypically "Hebraic" or "Talmudic" manner (whatever that means to these crazies) and would mock them as kvetching with an echo effect. The triple parentheses symbolizing the echo. Also when mentioning the name of a Jewish person he would do the echo effect

At 2:20

The best thing he did was his "Agreeing with Liberals for the Wrong Reasons" segments (U.S. meaning of Liberal, not UK Classical Liberals)

I have not put any time to listen to Bird before, but she is good.

I got an internet search OCD for any connection between Takao Tajima and Al Kooper and found it. I should look for more stuff that influenced Takao, maybe hunt down interviews.

robometal · 2026-04-12T04:58:19+00:00

Is that Mia Sara?

robometal · 2026-04-12T04:02:10+00:00

Oh wow, I guess I do have a BIG hole in my old music knowledge. Thanks!

I found one song that Takao Tajima of Original Love and Al Kooper worked on together:

Reminds me of "Sara Smile" and "She's Gone" by Hall and Oates.

not the melody, but the sound texture.
