You won’t find him on wikipedia, but his work is woven into the music of Madonna, New Order, The Police and countless others. @beachboyz2men shares more about how Dan got his start, from creating telephone hold music to ending up working with Dr. Dre, helping to shape the sound of early hip-hop, and beyond…

My choir is rehearsing for the upcoming season; here's our rendition of "Kinderly", a 14th century poem in Middle English set to music by Katharine Blake of the group Mediaeval Baebes.

Kyndeli is now mi coming

in to ȝis werld wiht teres and cry;

Litel and pouere is myn hauing,

briȝel and sone i-falle from hi;

Scharp and strong is mi deying,

i ne woth whider schal i;

Fowl and stinkande is mi roting—

on me, ihesu, ȝow haue mercy!

----

Kinderly is now my coming

into this world with tears and cries;

Little and poor is my having,

brittle and soon I fall from high;

Sharp and strong is my dying

I know not whither shall I;

Foul and stinking is my rotting —

on me, Jesu, you have mercy!

#it's a real break from shepherds in the fields fa la la la la I gotta say #the guys are on percussion in the background #'kinderly' is hard to translate #the idea is that they're like a baby coming into the world crying #'childlike' maybe #language history #music history #memento mori

Elvis was in Las Vegas in December, 1975, making up for the season that was abruptly cancelled after just three nights during August.

This engagement ran from December 2nd through to the 15th, with a significantly less intense schedule; a total of 16 shows and just one show per night with the exception of the two Saturdays, the 6th and the 13th. This great quality soundboard is from the midnight show on Saturday the 13th.

The 'silver phoenix' was one example of a jumpsuit style used between 1974 and 76. The original design concept wasn't for a bird at all, as Gene Doucette, Bill Belew's design associate, recalled in an interview with The Guardian in 2010;

"…I remember once I was working on a bunch of ideas and Elvis was impatient so asked, through his assistant's assistant's assistant, could he see some samples. I was making a jungle-themed suit at this point – vines, serpents, elephants – so I sent him a sample that featured a zebra's head on it. I heard back, 'Elvis loves it, but wonders why you've made the feet on the bird so small'. I had no idea what they were talking about, until I realised that when you looked at the zebra upside down, it kind of did resemble a bird. What could I do, it's Elvis? I just widened the zebra's nose, changed its feet to ears and reworked the shape and it became a Phoenix. Then I hear back: 'Elvis loves them, can you do five more in different colours?'.."
