Carly Simon reveals 'You're So Vain' clue - CNN.com - 0 views

  • Simon, 64, gave an interview to Uncut magazine about the backward whispering, which prompted the U.K. tabloid The Sun to report that "David" is record executive David Geffen. But Simon's publicist disputed the theory. "The man's first name is David," she told CNNRadio, "but it could be one of many Davids." The Sun's theory revolves around the idea that Simon recorded the song to express displeasure at Geffen's signing of a rival, Joni Mitchell, for his record label, Asylum Records. Simon wasn't on Asylum, but her label, Elektra, merged with it in 1972, the year her album "No Secrets," containing "You're So Vain," was released. Geffen was put in charge of Elektra/Asylum. Simon is on record as being uncomfortable with Geffen. In Jac Holzman's oral history of the label, "Follow the Music," she said, "[The merger] was devastating. It was like I was a child of divorce -- my father was leaving me and now I had David Geffen as a stepfather." Simon has long played possum (to paraphrase one of her album titles) about the identity of the "You're So Vain" character, who travels by Lear Jet to witness an eclipse and, cuttingly, "probably think[s] this song is about you." At one point she said he was a composite; other times she has maintained he has certain letters in his name. NBC executive Dick Ebersol paid $50,000 at a charity auction for the revelation and a live performance of the song. Rumors have focused on Warren Beatty, Mick Jagger and Kris Kristofferson, among others. Beatty has said he believes it's about him. In a 2002 interview with CNN.com, Simon said that "You're So Vain" wasn't the only song about the man, whomever it might be. "There are always clues in other songs. The guy has repeatedly appeared in my songs," she said.

Pink Floyd's Dark Side Eclipses Concept Album Classics | Underwire | Wired.com - 0 views

  • Sgt. Pepper’s may have popularized the concept album, but this experimental sonic mash from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention is arguably rock’s first concept album. Freak Out! skewered pop culture with sharp humor and flawless precision, although it was neither a critical nor commercial success after its 1966 release. But from influencing Sgt. Pepper’s production to paving the way for rock’s ambitious avant-garde leanings in the decades to come, Freak Out! has rightly taken its place as one of the finest concept albums ever made.

  • Greatest pop band ever? No question. But the Fab Four never really hopped onto the concept-album bandwagon, although it’s arguable that they popularized it with this loose collection of unforgettable tunes from their fictitious alter ego, the Lonely Hearts Club Band. There’s no reason to run down the list of accolades bestowed upon Sgt. Pepper’s here, as you should have them memorized if you care anything about music history. But from its orchestral experimentation and drug references to its unimpeachable songcraft, Sgt. Pepper’s may be a concept-album lightweight, but it’s a heavy legend.

    Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon turns 37 Wednesday after another year kicking ass on every concept album that came before or after it. The English quartet's sixth studio effort is a seamless masterpiece that cannot be readily sliced and diced into iTunes singles for sale, as the band argues during its ongoing dispute with its record label, EMI. Confidently hop-scotching across the themes of life, death, violence and mental illness - and foregrounding groundbreaking musical experiments in sampling, tape loops and synthesizers - Dark Side of the Moon has continually astounded brains and eardrums since its arrival. While the other epic sonic explorations listed below have challenged the status of Pink Floyd's 1973 record, Dark Side remains Earth's reigning concept album.

Pink Floyd wins battle with EMI over downloads - Mar. 11, 2010 - 0 views

  •  
    Pink Floyd won a legal battle Thursday against EMI that prevents the band's long-time record label from selling individual songs online. Sir Andrew Morritt, chancellor of Britain's High Court, ruled that Pink Floyd's contract forbids EMI from breaking up the band's albums without its permission, according to a spokeswoman for the British judicial system. EMI had argued that the stipulation only applied to physical albums, not online sales.
