Dylan Maleno

Broadcast - Please Call To Book this is a song written by Trish Keenan in 2006. the lyrics are made up of various fan postcards after they were encouraged to send in words and poems that would be arranged into a song. Trish wrote and played guitar on this demo, and it was discovered after her death of pneumonia in 2011 https://youtu.be/kn7qD3R1yEI

https://youtu.be/cedNya7e8Uc?t=60 Artist: Radiohead Title: Ceremony Length: 4:25 Honouring: Ian Curtis (1956-1980) of Joy Division One of the last songs composed before Ian's death. There isn't a clean recording with him singing it. This is an incredible, faithful cover performed by Radiohead during the Thumbs Down stream in 2007.

JJ Cale - Old Friend (3:59) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c4olUyXEJQ Not commemorating Cale himself, though. This one is for my own old friend Rocky Frisco, a long time member of the JJ Cale Band who plays piano on this track. I was in my mid-20s when I met Rocky on Usenet, and it always felt a little odd to have a friend who had done session work with Elvis Presley before Elvis's army stint. Sadly we never met in person, though we did plan to several times at the Discworld Conventions in the UK. He always said he'd buy me a beer when we did; I told him I didn't drink beer, and he said "Alright, I'll *offer* to buy you a beer then". :) Unfortunately if he ever could afford to go it was because he was on the road and didn't have time to go. So, this one's for him.

Artist: For Squirrels Song Title: Mighty K.C. YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeY8tYAFrMw For Squirrels released their first and only album, Example, in 1995. While touring in support of their album there was a terrible auto crash involving their tour bus, which resulted in the deaths of their manger, lead singer and bassist. The guitartist and drummer survived and started a new group called Subrosa, which released one album. Example is a fantastic album that ought to get more attention. This is the single that got radioplay when I was 14 or 15.

Simon Wright

Quincy Jones - Summer in the City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpbK4tLQH_s A cover and not an original, but still, an amazing testament to his talents as an arranger, composer etc. And I listen to it a lot more than the OG. Everyone brings their A game but mads props especially to vocalist Valerie Simpson and bassist Chuck Rainey, who absolutely knock it out of the park. And I just learned it won a Grammy. Well deserved.

Klors

Artist - Dolly Parton Title - Jolene Length - 2:43 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixrje2rXLMA I was listening through Dolly songs to choose one, but after several album's worth I just keep coming back to Jolene, it really is one of my faves. I would have used the Pentatonix collab version, but I genuinely miss the masterfully finger-picked guitar too much. Although, I did find that she did "Love Is Like A Butterfly" which I loved when I was young, and "Early Morning Breeze" was very pertinent this morning and quite lovely almost folky 😊 and as Rob notes 9 to 5 is a banger.

Aaron SirLemming

I'm not sure the boilerplate "no originals please" is necessary in this particular case...

Satcomdaemon

9 to 5 goes so hard. I had to ask for Ozzy but been blasting this since the news hit. (also one of my fave karaoke tunes to hit)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yELbkzAIfmA Scott Walker - The Electrician (1978, off The Walker Brothers' final album "Nite Flights") (6:04) Scott was the definition of uncompromising artistry. He forsook his Walker Brothers fame in the late 60s to pursue a more experimental solo career, then turned away from music almost entirely in the late 70s, only to release one album a decade until his passing in 2019. The 4 Scott-penned songs on this album were a turning point. They showcase elements of his 60s material, which you may already be familiar with by now, but with opaque lyricism and a darker tone that point toward what was to come (that is, music SO DARK I'll save it for any Spooky Songs streams you might have this year). The most fascinating evolution of an artist I know of, and my biggest inspiration to keep going but to take my time.

Niklas Bergius (Positron Alpha)

https://youtu.be/ej4P6m7L-4U Jan Johansson, Emigrantvisa Honoring Jan, who would've turned 95 this year but died in a car accident at the age of 37. He single-handedly (well, double-handedly) defined the somber sound of Nordic jazz at a time when folk music was completely out of fashion. Notice his playing style. People often say that you can recognize his touch on the piano from a single note. Might be a minor exaggeration, but he was one of the greatest with a truly unique expression.

Aaron SirLemming

Ooh, excellent choice. Though I'll admit I kind of had a heart attack for a second there.

Jef

Artist - Isaac Hayes Track - Our Day Will Come The most influential artist in my life. This is his best song under 6 minutes, but he has some truly celestial pieces that are way too long for these streams lol. His music and spirit lives on through literally thousands of samples, you may remember the outro here from a certain Massive Attack record. https://youtu.be/_hJXlxrjRpc?is=lsuMW0ptgiH-WXu9

Jedit

Minor pedant, but someone might have written a song to memorialise a musician that meant something to them. Like, if Dave Randall was one of ixi's patrons he could queue his own track Hound Dog, which was written for (and samples) the polydactyl blues guitarist Hound Dog Taylor (1917-1975).

Darius McCaskey

It was a tough call for me between Neil Peart and Cliff Burton. In the end, "Afterimage" won out over "Orion" due to length.

Aaron SirLemming

"You Never Knew My Mind" Chris Cornell; words by Johnny Cash 2018 / 4:58 https://youtu.be/h06uzVCFsoE?is=HuMXkcqogIHkeWac This was one of Cornell's final recordings, released posthumously in 2018. It was itself a tribute, posthumously adapting a poem by Johnny Cash. Although the words are presumably about a dissolving relationship, it's hard not to hear some of Cornell's own pain in here as well.

Aaron SirLemming

I wish I could find a non-Twitter link for this, but it's a sweet video clip from 2023 of Josh starting "In the Fade" and the crowd knowing all the words and singing along really loudly, and he's blown away by it. (I think this would've been one of the first QOTSA shows after Mark passed -- not that Josh didn't sing it live before, but it's clear everyone was thinking about it.) https://x.com/flexollie/status/1671675039173734403

Artist: Stone Temple Pilots Song Title: Atlanta Length: 5:18 Honouring: You know who 😉 Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXDRlOZ8EQY This song is incredibly beautiful and haunting. It came up in a discussion last stream, and I'm curious to know if you've ever reacted to it before. Scott Weiland manages to channel and move seamlessly between Jim Morrison and David Bowie within the same song, making it the ultimate tribute. And even though this predates Chester Bennington's time with STP, his connection to the band means we're very much honouring him as well by playing it 🌹 Four birds, one Stone!

D'Angelo - Brown Sugar https://youtu.be/H_WzjiTzZBA?si=id-Pe_v0nB69Rh8J&t=34 4:00 (I've skipped the little intro bit) I'll be honest, I'm not someone who gets particularly affected by celebrity deaths but D'Angelo came as a proper surprise. Also, the song's about Angie Stone who also died this year so it certainly has a poignancy about it now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1VY9e4f4c4 Artist: Mariachi Entertainment System Song: Linger Length: 4:31 Release date: February 3rd, 2018 In honor of Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries, who passed on the 15th of January 2018 at the age of 46.

Matthew Murdick

One of my arranging and vocal heroes - the man who was the inspiration for the remix I did of your tune. Brian Wilson (RIP) Date: May 14, 1966 Group: The Beach Boys Song: "God Only Knows" Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u90beUXTKwo Album: Pet Sounds I was late to the party on the request, so if you don't get that far down in the Queue, or if another long standing Patron has a more urgent request, I'm fine if you don't get to mine. :)

Anthony Savoie

Composer: Frank Zappa Performed by: Ensemble Modern Title: Outrage at Valdez Length: 3:27 Year: 1992 Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewpkx95GB_s Written for the Cousteau Society documentary "Outrage at Valdez" (1990), about the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989. Just a reminder that Zappa (1940-1993) was a hell of a composer.

Aaron SirLemming

I knew Alain Johannes was on that, but didn't know about Natasha. But that makes perfect sense of course. Great choice!

Ruben S.Rodrigues

Gorillaz (feat Ibrahim Ferrer) - Latin Simone (Que Pasa Contigo) Ibrahim Ferrer, born and deceased in Cuba (1927 - 2005), is the musician being honored. https://youtu.be/4iY44GzQj6Q?si=PmgE0jSGsE2s7v24 Lenght: 3:42 Hello good people! It was a tough choice, but the first one that came to mind was the collaboration of the great Cuban musician Ibrahim Ferrer with the immense talent of Gorillaz, on their 1st album released in 2000/2001, which would end up being one of the Cuban artist's final works, and perhaps one of his most high-profile until the end of his life. It was through the fascinating and acclaimed project/"supergroup" Buena Vista Social Club (an exploration, revisiting, and recreation of Cuban music) that my knowledge of the iconic musicians who collaborated on this work branched out.

Ruben S.Rodrigues

And what a seminal and defining Massive Attack record it is! Can I say which album and track you're talking about? I could, but I shouldn't. Let's leave it for ixi to figure it out!

Quinzhee Jones

Their latest album also pays tribute to many of their past collaborators

Quinzhee Jones

J Dilla - Workinonit (2:57) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogwouE_Msd4 He made this album while living with an incurable disease, died 3 days after its release (though it was completed one year before). Ended up becoming one of the most beloved instrumental hiphop albums.

ObidiahBumbly

Artist: Ka Song Title: Atlas Year: 2018 Youtube: https://youtu.be/zMMGvLrBQ_Q Duration: 2:56 Honoring: Kaseem Ryan (Ka) (1972-2024: age 52) He is my second favorite rapper of all time and his death hit me hard. He did most of the merch and shipping of things all on his own. He would do album release parties where he'd meet and do one-on-one meetings with fans which i wish i couldve gone to. He also was a Firefighter for 20+ years. His music is so beautiful to me and I've always loved it. There are more "tribute songs" that he has but this song is my favorite from him. When I first heard it i played it on repeat no joke for a week. Rest in power to one of the best lyricists to do it

Dire Docks

Elliot Smith — A Distorted Reality is Now A Necessity to be Free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=206gAmQ-5ek 4:32 long Final track of Smith's 2004 posthumous album From A Basement On A Hill. The album was nearly finished when he died in 2003, aged 34.

Artist: Muslimgauze Song: Yasser Arafat's Radio Length: 1:36 https://youtu.be/U7PksvKlzO0?si=ozKA7vpntnACAHk2 British musician Bryn Jones (17 June 1961 – 14 January 1999) was prolific in his output. This is but a snippet of the over 90 original albums he released while he was alive. Apparently he has new releases coming out to this day. One of his best tracks, imo, is " A Small Intricate Box Which Contains Old Blue Opium Marzipan". It is far too long for a stream at over 9 minutes, but well worth listening to for anyone that might be curious.

Artist: The Tragically Hip Song: Tiger the Lion URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdNBW_0HBcE Length: 5:30 Release date: June, 2000 In honor of Gord Downie, our national poet wildman folk hero who died of glioblastoma (brain cancer) in 2017. We're all still recovering from it. Tiger the Lion is an obscure one, but unique in its cadence and delivery... not to mention the lyrics. RIP Gordy

Jeremy Rand

Thanks for fixing the link for me.

turns out this was copyright poison

This ended up having so many songs I *would've* requested even though mine didn't even make the cut (since I wasn't there for it)! Mark Lanegan was a really frequent QOTSA collaborator around 2000-2005. He gets prominent lead vocals on 4 songs on Songs for the Deaf, and backup vocals elsewhere. Technically not a "band member" but they always enjoyed sharing the spotlight with whomever they wanted. Incidentally, Natasha Shneider was also a touring member of the band around 2005, with her partner Alain Johannes.
