Well, I guess we will allow this section to concentrate on the many EP's that YLT has released over
the years.....never realized there were so many until, well, now.......gonna be a lot of overlap, feel free to reprogram if it suits ya! (No particular order)

DANELECTRO (2000)- Take three quirky Yo La Tengo instrumentals, all with interwining themes, and then have them remixed by Q-Unique, Kit Clayton, and Nobukazu Takemura....and the result is a totally original effort, what more can we expect from Yo La Tengo.......for fans of the band, but, by now, shouldn't we all be?  01 Danelectro 3/02 Danelectro 2/03 Danelectro 1 (Q-Unique Remix)/04 Danelectro 3 (Kit Clayton Remix)/05 Danelectro 1/06 Danelectro 2 Nobukaza (Takemura Remix)

CAMP YO LA TENGO (!995)-01 (Thin) Blue Line Swinger/02 Can't Seem To Make You Mine/03
Mr Ameche Plays the Stranger/04 Tom Courtenay (Accoustic)

TODAY IS THE DAY (2003)-01 Today Is the Day/02 Styles of the Times/03 Outsmartener/04 Needle of Death.05 Dr Crash/06 Cherry Chapstick

FROM A MOTEL 6 EP-01 Ashes on the Ground/02 From a Motel 6/03 Shaker/04 For Shame of Doing Wrong (Slide Version)/05 Nutrica/06 What She Wants

HERE COMES MY BABY EP-01 Here Comes My Baby/02 The Story of Jazz/03 Barstool Blues/04 Compromise/05 At the River's Edge/06 Ecstacy Blues/07 Speeding Motorcycle

LITTLE HONDA EP-01 Little Honda/02 Be Thankful For What You Got/03 No Return /04 Black
Hole/05 How Much I've Lied/06 By the Time it Gets Dark/07 Little Honda (Live)/08 We're the Champions (Live)

Some fantastic stuff on these EP's don't neglect
them........ya think I'm done? HELL no, tomorrow, live stuff, and maybe even a few collaborative efforts........anyway these are going like hotcakes, but with very little commentary, come on, you know I like to hear from you guys!

Well, here we have a variety of live material from our heroes, I have never caught them live, but
obviously (like the Dickies and Husker Du) in concert they pile on the cover material......it can be most amusing, on record, but I will say this: There is SO MUCH of it here that you may or may notwish to delve into large doses of it.......I'll give you a few sample titles on each of the cover sets so you can see the outrageous diversity, it'll work for you, most likely, unless you OD on it. At the end of all these I have a super-ultra rare available nowhere else set from my WOXY Lounge Acts collection (more on that series later, I am disappointed in the numbers, but we'll talk).....so here is Yo La Tengo Live, in all thier glory, hope you've been enjoying THIS series, it's been a good bit of work but they really are badass!

First up we have "Live at Bell House" from 2011....NOT all covers (though thye are there), this includes versions of classics like "Autumn Sweater" and "86 Second Blowout"......if you want a straight-up live representation of one of thier shows, I'm guessing this to be it.



Now, WFMU Hoboken 3/5/10 is LOADED with covers, best, as I said, perhaps taken in small doses....just as a sampling: "Smokin In the Boys Room", "To Sir With Love", "Marquee Moon".....ANYTHING goes as cover material with these guys, you'll get the idea soon.

Next, we have the aptly titled "Live Covers", which includes NO (I don't think) overlap with the previous set......how about, for example, "Mr Soul", "Werewolves of London",  "No Sleep Til Brooklyn", "Tangled Up In Blue".......and TONS more, go at your own pace, while humorous, still overwhelming.

We have another WFMU set, this one from 2001, heavy on the covers as well, here's a few h'ors
d'ourves for this one......"Billy Don't Be a Hero", "Jet", "I Wanna Be Sedated", "Draggin the Line".......they aren't shy about what they take on, no question.

Believe it or not, we have our THIRD WFMU set, as well as our FOURTH mostly covers set, this one titled "WFMU Covers Set"........samples? "Pleasant Valley Sunday", "Meet the Mets Jingle", "Jailbreak", "Dancing Barefoot"........gotta say, if you listen to all of these, I can't imagine you lacking in a Yo La Tengo cover version of ANYTHING.......all good fun, just take your time uncovering these.

My final offering is the WOXY Lounge Acts session, a single, 20-minute unsplit track, with lovely versions of "The Weakest Part", "Big Day Coming", "I Should Have Known Better", and some promo/interview stuff, really good music but better for the rarity factor as I know noone else who would possibly have a copy, spread it at will, make sure any fans of the band hear it.

(Note: I do not have these on disc, they are on hard drive, I don't know how

WOXY LOUNG SESSION-01 (unsplit track)







A Reasonable request, I think

0
0
I am trying to decide whether to continue the WOXY (also KEXP even though I haven't done any yet) Lounge acts series, they do not get the kind of download numbers to make it worthwhile......today, someone in the comments section asked if I could "index" them, more or less, and I think that is reasonable.......that way, if there is somwthing you REALLY want to hear, you can let me know, and we'll see what happens.....personally, I think this stuff may be just a bit TOO obscure for the masses, it is GREAT music, but I can't force it on you......so, while I wait for the "LIVE" Yo La Tengo stuff to upload (ironically, it includes a WOXY set, I thought I would go back and index all of my WOXY/KEXP stuff, and if you have a SPECIFIC REQUEST, let me know.......be advised of this, though......I think these sets are great, maybe you guys don't (looks like), but if you start telling me, "hey, how about volume 36 and volume 17", then it is GOING to reamina  regular feature, and if you guys don't like it, sorry about your luck.....I am TRYING to introduce new and rare music to you guys, either you want this to be a regular feature or you don't.....PLEASE "vote" on the matter, but keep in mind that if you are "only" interested in Volume 20, please understand that you SHOULD vote "YES" so that so much more rare and live stuff is exposed to the masses.....if you hate the whole thing, just tell me "no", I don't care, I thought it was a decent idea, if not, well, it isn't the first time I've been mistaken......MORE (yep) Yo La Tengo tomorrow, some albums on which they have collaborated with some other folks to wrap up the series, but i REALLY AM INTERESTED.......should I continue the WOXY/KEXP stuff or scrap it? It's up to you and if the vote is 2 to 1 that will be good enough, either way, so PLEASE make it clear.......meantime, here are the indexes to both series to maybe help you to decide........love you all, of course, and got AN EMAIL FROM NIKKI CORVETTE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'll tell you morea about that later, but talk about making one's evening! Anyway, whatever your choice I DO love you all and will see you tomorrow.......thanks to whomever requested this stuff be indexed (I don't have the email handy), it really IS a good idea, and you are helping the blog to be what I want it to be.......ALWAYS appreciate intellignet suggestions!

OK guya, I did this for YOU.....now YOU help ME out and we'll continue to try to make this the blog that YOU want for it to be.......remember, BigScott62 LOVES YOU ALL and would not be doing this at all were it not for YOU......PLEASE, you can see the available material.......if you want the seties to continue, take 3 seconds to say "yes"......if you'd prefer I went in other directions (trust me, I am NOT gonna run out of material), take 3 seconda to vote "no".......it's that simple........I'm glad that (whomever it was) suggested that I do this, the carda are on the table, and it is UP TO YOU.....Is this a worthwhile project, or is it not? You Tell ME!

 


Super Mega Yo La tengo Part 6 and OUT!

0
0
Told you this one was gonna big a mammoth, is there any stuff out there that I couldn't get my hand
 on, now would be the time.......I have tonight three albums, I thik, in which they work in
collaborotaion with others.

By the way, thanks for the responses to the WOXY/KEXP inquiry.....I WILL continue the series on a semi-regular basis, the whole thing is catalogued on the site now, so maybe I'll do five discs a week or something, and if you erquest one, there's a good chance it'll be one of them. I just think it's a unique feature that might take a while to heat up, as did Greek Punk and some others.......

OK, first up is "Strange But True With Jad Fair".......Jad Fair being a member of Half Japanese, Yo La Tengo is basically relegated to back-up band as Fair contributes his nasaly, semi-spoken vocals......take it or leave it, it's interesting I guess, not one for heavy rotation and I am SURE hoping I can find somewhere to copy/paste those song titles from rather than have to type them out (you'll see why")

Better, I think is a live 2001 set with Jon Spencer, a good, bluesy romp through the "usual" Yo La Tengo stew of oddball covers, this time featuring the work of Dylan, X, Pussy Galore, and Sham 69, amongst others....recommended.

And finally, also from the stage, is a 2001 set with the great Ronnie Spector and David Grubbs......this one splits the difference, plenty of covers but also lots of original Yo La Tengo material, give this one a solid shot as well.

Well, the 1990's were a great decade for music, really, but could Yo La Tengo, who outlived that decade by a LONG margin, have been one of the more underrated acts of that era.......i think so, always entertaining, always taking a chance, and always sounding great.........like to hear reactions on this whole series, as well as any stuff I don't have that you might like to sahre to round out the set.

Till next time, be good to yourselves and your families.

They are Nikki Corvettes! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you Nikki and ANYTIME you wish to share anything on THIS blog, the door is open .....Love Ya Nikkii, always have, always will, and I am THRILLED that you decided to select US to share your new tracks with!

First her wonderful and beautiful email:

Nikki Corvette has left a new comment on your post "Nikki Corvette, anytime anyplace Baby":
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Scott, just ran across this and wanted to say wow, thanks for the wonderful words! I'd be happy to send you some current music. Just write me if you're interested nikki1146@juno.com
Cheers, Nikki Corvette

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, first Ms Nikki sent me another email, a wonderful, sweet, and grateful screed as tohow she is happy that my readers enjoy my blog:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Scott, thanks so much for the email and the lovely blog write-up, it's always nice
to know that you/your music has had an effect on someone. I will try to write more
but I tend to procrastinate so I thought I'd better just write you immediately or I might
keep putting it off until I forget to do it (slacker....). Anyway I've kept pretty busy since
I started to play again. I've had 3 bands, Nikki Corvette and The Stingrays also had a
Japan only release called 'Rebellious Love Emergency' (quite proud of this one) then
Gorvette with Amy Gore from The Gore Gore Girls, one release 'Gorvette' and finally
Nikki Corvette and The Romeos, an all Italian band with the bassist and drummer from
Miss Chain and The Broken Heels and the guitarist from The Peawees, one single
'He's Gone/Rockin' Romeos'. I might not have 'made it' but I have been touring the
world for the last 10 years and have a nice cult following. They love me in Japan and
I'm proud of what I've done. Here are a few songs for you, hope you enjoy! Cheers, nikki
P.S. It Don't Come Easy is wth Prima Donna and on a WFMU CD from a couple months ago.
I will send a few messages because I can only send a couple songs per. Also there is a
'Wild Record Party 2', not my fave...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, Nikki, I've neaver heard "Wild Record Party2
", I loved the FIrst one, but I will trust your judgement..........I just wanna make suer you know that I love EVERYTHING I have loved every NOTE I've everheard from you, and if you can EVER find time to send me ANYTHING (I'd be WAYYYYYYYYYY interested in the colaborations with the Gore Gore Girls whom I love Too), I am open to it.......I just thank you for acknowledging I am alive, and here are the tracks you sent for my readers to enjoy:

Old School previously contributed several UTube links, today, he has offered up more UTube and some albums.......I will print his email in whole because there is quite a list of UTube/albums/links here:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great Big Scottt! I know that a different language is a big issue,too bad because some of their lyrics are also amazing.But Brazil has a big musical diversity,from bossa nova to psychedelic rock and it's own local rythms and styles,you can find a very good stuff from 60's and 70's..
I'll post some links of full albuns

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And while at it, let me throw a few more of my Brazillian gems out for ya in case your interested......

From 1964, we have the album "Los Incredibles" from Os Megatons, quite a good pop-rock thing, check this one out for certain: 01 Voo Do Besourou/02 Infinito/03 Lawman/04 Aloha/05 Adios/06 Torture/07 Baledo de Homem Sem Rumo/08 Miserlou/09 A Lenda De Beijo/10 Gunslinger/11 Temptation/12 Xahrazad

This is a real favorite of mine, see if you don't agree......


From 1968 comes the self-titled, semipsych album from Os Canibais, which has some moments on it as well.......I always enjoy non-original language cover versions.......

01 O Prego (Love Me Kiss Me)/02 Felizes Juntinhos (Happy Together)/03 Lindo Sonho/04 Um
Milagre Aconteceu (Magic Potion)/05  Garota Teimosa (Time Wont Let Me)/06 Quasi Fico Nu (Everything You Do)/07 Ao Mue Amor/08 A Praca/09 Descubram Onde Meu Bem Esta (Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight)/10 Se Voce' Quer (See Me Back)/11 Nosso Romance

And, lets do up one more, from 1969, Avenco 5's "Somos Jovens"........great, spacey pop-psych, this is one you will want to hear if you've enjoyed the rest of the post.......give this one a couple of hard listens.
01 Stormy/02 Bobo Nao Soul/03 F....Comme Femme/04 Shut Up/05 First of May/06 My Little Lady/07 Nem Mesmo Voce/08 Nao Sou De Ferro/09 New Um Talvez/10 Precisco Esquecer Voce/11 Lost Friend/12 Good Bye

I've got a good bit more, but let's see if Old School has anything else to contribute........good stuff here, don't miss out due to the language thing!





 


 
 


A Little Bit 'o' CLIFF

0
0
I forget who, someone suggested I should rename this feature a "little bit O Cliff", or, fuck maybe it was something else, this is probably the only time I will opt to use it anyway, but, here's the bottom line.....it's CLIFF and his badass reggae submits, fresh off a retrun from his music festival visit.......so, without further jibberjabbering, let's see what Cliff has for us this week......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ROY – HEART OF A LION
Heart of a LionThis is a good reggae album, nothing special, pretty standard fare but worth a listen. Despite being backed by such wonderful musicians as Robbie Shakespeare, Augustus Pablio, Tommy Mc Cook and ‘Horesemouth’ Wallace the deejay seems content to go just coast through.
However the album is still entertaining and I Roy is in good voice but it just never really seems to get going and only on ‘Move Up Roots Man’ does he seem to notch it up a bit. He turned out better albums than this one and I’ll cover those sometime in the future but I already had this ready and couldn’t be arsed to change it.
Track List: 1. Heart of a Lion 2. Sister Nelly 3. Casmas Town 4. Tonight 5. Catty Rock 6. Jordon River 7. Fire Stick 8. Peace In The City 9. Tiddle Le Bop 10. Move Up Roots Man
Link: http://www81.zippyshare.com/v/vy2MsiDd/file.html
GREGORY ISAACS – SOON FORWARD
http://www.jah-lyrics.com/artwork/albums/279.jpgGregory Isaacs had the sweetests soulful roots voice in reggae. For a few years in the late 1970’s there was no better singer in the reggae world. He wasn’t known as ‘The Cool Ruler’ for nothing.
This album has some real killer tracks played by some marvellous musicians and for me was his greatest piece of work. ‘Universal Tribulation’ is worth the price of the album alone but every track is worth lending an ear to. Isaacs’ vocal style was equally suited to offering songs of love and also those of the sufferah’s lot and this album contains equal measures of each. Even if you are not into reggae I implore you to give this a chance, you won’t be dissapointed.
Track List: 1.Universal Tribulation 2.Mr Brown 3.Down The Line 4.Lonely Girl 5.Bumping And Boring 6.My Relationship 7.Slave Market 8.Black Liberation Struggle 9.Jah Music 10.Soon Forward
Link: http://www33.zippyshare.com/v/2f9FAvd8/file.html
EEK-A-MOUSE - WA-DO-DEM
Wa Do DemYou will either love or hate this album. You will have to listen to make your own minds up; but that is what you should do with all music. Eek-A-Mouse had a unique style of delivery; coming from the middle ground between singng and deejay style and offering scatting through tracks.
Eeek-A-Mouse’s delivery is backed by some wonderful deep bass that compliments his thought provoking lyrics. Eek-A-Mouse was an important figure in the history of dancehall music. He showed that words, flow, delivery and "style" are as important as, and sometimes more important than, what you have to say. Nevertheless, with Eek-A-Mouse, dancehall fans were offered both style and substance as his lyrics were both interesting and exciting.
Track List: 1, Wa-Do-Dem 2. Ganja Smuggling 3. Operations Eradication 4. Noah’s Ark 5. Long Time Ago 6. There’s A Girl In My Life 7. Georgie Porgie 8. Lonesome Journey 9. One Hot Summer 10. I Will Never Leave My Love 11. War Don’t Pay 12. Slowly But Surely 13. Too Young To Understand
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
THANKS Cliff, hope you continue to submit wonderful reggae stuff to us for as long as you desire.......ABSOLUTLEY fantastic stuff, in particular for a guy who's only "semi-reggae interested" like myself, this shit thrills me every time you send it........I have to look high and low for some rock I haven't heard, but reggae? There's a mountain of it out there that this guy ain't heard yet..........thanks again, and PLEASE conitnue to contribute your wonderous stuff!

Holly & the Italians, released a TREMENEDOUS, hard rocking Ramones-ish album in the early 80's, it was GREAT and I have posted it on here at least once......it had KILLER tracks such as "I Wanna  Go Home", "Tell That Girl To Shut Up", and my ultra-fave "Rock Against Romance".........this was/is a fine/wonderful album, a pure period piece, and if enough of you care, I'll dig it out and post it once again.


Anyway, there was just that ONE album......after that she released perhaps the most confusingly titled album in history, "Holly and the Italians" by Jolly Beth Vincent.......get it? this is NOT a Holly & the Italians album.........see what I mean?.....In fact, she ditched the punk/power pop stuff of the previous album for ROCKABILLY, and it is, absolutley, without question, WONDERFUL........I searched high and low for this album for a LONG time, and finally one of my Ohio homies hooked me up......DO NOT MISS THIS....this is a FANTASTIC album, one that not only do you wish to HEAR, but if you skip over, you may literally never get a chance to hear again........PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, you want to enjoy this fantasitc album.

HOLLY & THE ITALIANS-01 Honalulu/02 For What It's Worth/03 Only Boy/04 Revenge/05 Samurai and Courtesan/06 Cool Love (Is Spreading Around)/07 Uptown/08 We Danced/09 Unoriginal Sin/10 Just Like Me/11 Dangerously/12 One More Dance/13 I Got You Babe/14 For What It's Worth (Extended Remix)/15 Chapel of Love/16 Tell That Girl to Shut Up (17" version)

This is a TRUE rarity, don't blame ME if you miss the boat on this one!

Ok, I asked, you answered, and the "Lounge Acts" series from both WOXY and KEXP Will
continue,maybe once a week, maybe less, maybe more, refer to the earlier post which catalogues them ALL so if there is a special one you desire, please ask and we will get to it evenetually. OK, as Jonder started a lot of the furor over these posts, I am going to give it to him RIGHT HERE, the MANY sessions that he has requested........and in RETURN, he has promised to give us some cool albums from the Duke Spirit, sounds like a fair exchange to me........anyway, I am filling HIS request, if you guys go back to the WOXY/KEXP catalogue, I will fill your requests as well......I TRY, I swear to GOD I TRY, to keep this blog at least a LITTLE different from the other ones out there........really.........if there is ANYTHING you want, PLEASE let me know, my track record shows that I aim to please.........but for now, here are Jonder's requests, NO TRACK TITLES (unsplit tracks), but this is GREAT FUCKING SHIT, AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, is AVAILABLE NOWHERE ELSE (that I know of anyway)...........keep this blog alive, keep it unique, and PLEASE tell me what you want me to post.......GOOD chance I have it/or can get it.........and THIS is what we are all here for. Right?

We will begin with the WOXY sets, as requested by Jonder, and (forgive me) I couldn't find a couple of em, you oughta see the state of my CD room.......anyway, what I wanted to say about THIS set (Volume #39) is that Viva La Foxx is FUCKING GREAT......I have been looking for YEARS for their "official" release, I am not sure that it even exists, ,but please be alerted that this is a fine set.......you won't want to miss it, also apparing are Robb Dickinson and Oppenheimer.......lesser known, to be sure, but take it from yer uncle here, Viva La Foxx is one to be heard, and IF ONE OF YOU FUCKERS HAS BEEN HIDING THIER 'REAL" LP from me for all this time, well, Time to spread the word, right........?

The enxt set requested by Jonder was #43, which ibncludes Asobi Seksu, The Wrens, and Minus the
Bear........don't remember a lot about any of them, but OPEN YOUR FUCKING EARS........this is NOT the place for the greatest of REO Speedcookie or something like that........right?

Volume #46 comes up next in Jonder's "requested" list, and why not, since half the disc is taken up by Frank Black (Black Francis), indeed an incredible rare find........The Pernice Brothers fill out the disc.

Next set he requests (that I can find at this minute, at leaset) is #94, with Neko Case and The Greenhornes.....seemingly, I recall this as a good set, but I can't recall any highlights or anything.......remember, I am trying to get you guys OBSCURE and RARE music, NOT The Allman Brothers sing the classics...........all is ask is PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, give me a REMARK/REVIEW of this incredibly rare stuff that I AM giving you.....

Volume #113 by request gives us The Frontier Brothers, Pete & the Pirates, and Cut Off Your hands, not a single one of which I remember a thing about........but here they are , for YOU......see how I want this to WORK?

Volume #124 features the Duke Spirit, whom Jonder swears he will send us complete or semi-complete works from, sounds great, and the rest of the disc is fleshed out with Venice is Sinking and Thing One..........COME ON, wouldn't you RATHER hear this stuff than the stuff some other blogs put up? UNDERSTAND that this is an attempt at a different direction, and I have TONS more (see indexes), it is ALL FOR YOU!

So,let's shift to Jonder's KEXP requests (See? I go ALL OUT for anyone who requests something AND offers up something unique, like Jonder.........KEXP #30 leadsa off with Duke Spirit, whom, again, Jonder plans to send us a broader spectrum of.........we also get, on this disc, Dr. Dog and Blue Scholars.....KEXP (Volume 71) by Jonder's request gives us The jai-Alai Servant and The Cinematic Orchestra, neither of whic is ringing a bell to me right now.........but this is what I LIVE FOR........this stuff is rare if not NON-EXISTENT, Please, sample and comment....

VOLUME #58 splits the difference between Sparklehorse and The English Beat, whom, I'm sure you
all know, again, this is not something you will find every day of the week, and I don't wish to see 5 or 6 downloads for these, when I go through all this work. Please? I don't mean to be nasty, if you think is sucks, PLEASE tell me as much, but COME ON.......Lotta work here, PLEASE, just listen, and tell us what ya think.......you may think it sucks but you may make someones else's day..........right?



We are going to wrap up tonights ALL JONDER request series with KEXP Volume 100 featuring Dederhoof, Parts and Labor, and School of Seven Bells, none of which are blazing to mind either, but this is WHAT I AM HERE FOR........the obscure, the unknown, the rare, the music for those who DARE to think with both halves of the brain. Please, again, listen, and comment.

Remember ALL of these discs feature unsplit tracks, this no track titles.........most tracks are no moer than 25 minutes or so, you can figure out whether they are your thig or not.......if they ARE, SAY SOMETHING and we'll FIND some more material for you........again, I posted the entire catalogue of WOXY and KEXP that I have, if something there tickles your fancey, LET ME KNOW and I'll post it for you.........look what I did for Jonder here........(and he knows what I expect in return, Duke Spirit, to which I am seriously looking forward to.

ANYWAY, I hope this feature of the blog doesn't alienate many/any of you, I am trying to expand ALL of our horizons..........I TRY to be different, with the foreign language stuff, the Nazi stuff, just stuff that IS NOT EASILLY OBTAINABLE........it's only cause I love all of ya, right?


had to go take a pre-employment drug test today........sure do hope all is good, I've been a good boy but NOTHING has ever scared me as much as a drug test!

I have not yet even investigated this yet, but, I have always loved the Heartless Bastards, whom I
featured long ago on this blog........an anonymous contributor has sent me a link for (a new? album? I am unsure).....as well as what seems to be a YouTube clip......sorry, have not had time to check out the links, you are on your own, but the Heartless Bastards were always fucking great.......if you get time, check these out and report back to ME, I am so fucking busy I don't have time for a lot of shit (getting ready to go back into that "employment world" thing after a year, LOTSA mixed emotions, trust me!)

HEARTLESS BASTARDS - RESTLESS ONES * ALBUM REVIEW *

Great band, if they have a new album I'll get to it eventually, but you may just get there before me in this case.

Hey, I KNOW you guys don't like it, that means SHIT to me.......I DONT LIKE IT EITHER.......the point here is not to thrill you with some new sounds you have yet to hear, BUT to "shock" you with stuff you are "offended by".....as I have said 10000 times before, if you are offended by THIS stuff, WHY OH WHY are you not offended by stuff like Rage Against the Machine, Crass, NWA, Tom Robinson, and a dozen others, all of whom are just as "hateful" (although I know most of you wouldn't dream of admitting that).........DON'T CARE..........bycott my blog, if you want, I will sleep fine.......as for THIS one, it's standard UK punk, with that good old hateful skinhead tone to it, most likely you hve NOT heard it before, and THAT is what the hell I am here for.........If you are "hollier than me", God bless ya, but I try to present the FREE SPEECH VIEWS OF EVERYONE.......if this is disagreeable to you, I really am sorry.........but MY point here is to present some music that many of yo have not heard before........THIS is what we're getting today!

Magnapop

Magnapop were known, basically for two things........number one, thier phenominal live shows (I
have never seen thm, so I take this at the word of others, and, number two, thier fantastic album "Hot Boxing"........they were a fine, 1990's alt band that sort of slipped through the cracks, from what I hear those live shows were amazing, and I KNOW "Hot Boxing" is a solid 4-star album.

Formed in Atlanta in the 90's, the two mainstays of the band were singer Linda Hopper and guitarist Ruthie Morris, with various rythem sections.......they hit it big (so to speak) with a couple of GREAT singles, "Slowly Slowly" (from "Hot Boxing") and "Open the Door" (from "Magnapop").....these were both great singles, I hope we all remember them, but for ME personally, the album "Hot Boxing" is what we want to remember about them.......FANTASTIC album, perfect reflection of the hard rock/alternative/female vocalized greatness of the mid 90's, and this is TRULY one of the great unknown albums of that decade.......it's likely you have heard the great "Slowly Slowly", a tremendous single, but perhaps you have NOT heard "Lay It Down","Here It Comes", "Piece of Cake",  and the great "The Crush" ("sample lyric: "These are ideasa, they are not lies, kick the dog and you will DIE"), personally I love this album, you GOTTA hear it if you haven't...


OK, to be honest, the rest of theire stuff isn't THAT great, "Open the Door" is a decent single ("Everything Is good these, days, but all of my friends are dying...."......however, they would never come NEAR "Hot Boxing" again in my estimation...."Mouthfeel" and "Rubbing Doesn't Help" have a moment or two, but they are mostly for fanatics.........HOWEVER, "Hot Boxing" is essential, and "Magnapop" is worth listneing to for any lover of 2000's alt-rock.


I wish I'd have seen em live.......they had a rep as a band that could blow the roof off, I guess I will never know.......anyway, here is the works of a pretty much forgotten band, one which, for a short minute there were a REALLY good one.......

Really......a lot seemed to like the Magnapop post, sorry two of the discs are seeemingly screwed up,
OR it could be a Zippything, I will try to reup......anyway, at least "Hot Boxing" is there.....couple surprising comments on the latest "Nazi Rock" post from a couple people wh GET what I'm saying (quickly, I disagree with them 1000%, but they have the right to say anything they wish, in this forum anyway, and rock n roll is meant to offend.......LOVE the comment (didn't notice until pointed out) that they ACTUALLY MISSPELLED "BRITISH" on the album cover.......valedictorian material, no question.

By way of contribution, some good work by Jonder, breaking down the WOXY/KEXP sets giving us track names on the unsplit sets. See the comments of that post, good work, and he (Jonder) is also putting together for us a very exciting Duke Spirit post (Duke Spirit appear on a couple of the WOXY/KEXP sets).......I know he sent me an email, but I (typically) lost it, I am HOPING that he will write the reviews of the albums, email me th whole post (links n all) and then I'll post it.......bst way for it to work for me anyway, let me know if something works better for you Jonder.

Long Time friend Sean sends us some MORE Yo Le Tengo, a double disc live set called "This Is Where I Belong", recorded at Hoboken New Jersey landmark Maxwells.....the recordings range almost the entire breadth of thier career, and of course contain the requisite number of whacked-out cover versions

and aside from everyone who contributes, I thank you just for leaving comment.....if you HATE the Nazi-Rock stuff, and are pissed at me for posting it, SAY SO.......it's the only way we can have adiscussion about things like this......


ALMOST forgot this gem.......Jon Hope (same guy as Jonder? I was thinking so, if I'm wrong I'm
sorry) sends us the great Magnapop version of "Pleasant Valley Sunday" from the Monkees tribute album, GOTTA love that.

Besides these, Brian has asked me to share a couple of his shares from his blog, I will get to that later this evening or tomorrow.........until then, gonna go grab some dinner, celebrating that I WILL be starting my new job (almost to the day a year after retiring from the State of Ohio) on Monday.......the blog WILL remain, but may go through some changes!


Catching up With Brian

Anytime Brian of http://rustbeltoutpost.blogspot.com/ asks that I give some of his posts a bit of extra exposure, I'm always happy to as he posts up some interesting stuff that I don't have (The Tape Beatles a while back was awesome), anyway, as you know he has lots of comedy stuff (not my forte by any means), also some soundtrack stuff and some WAY obscure stuff too, and it's been a little while since I've shared any of his stuff. Anyway, here's a whole package of it, as always, I don't care if you get them here or at his site. And I love guest material, especially of late as I prepare to start a new post-retirement job TOMORROW........the blog, as I've said, will remain, but may go through a change or two, I'll just have to see how my schedule works out (after all the blog did just fine before I retired). Here ya go, enjoy, and thanks of course to Brian.......
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Scott): Actually I DO have these, but for some reason have never posted them (I checked)......highly, highly recommended........

Pere Ubu - Two Odd Classics
There are albums that you see on "classic" lists....and they're very strange, and they take a lot of work and time to get your head around. Trout Mask Replica. Pop Tatari. Disco Volante. Freak Out. Yip Jump Music....

And pretty much anything Pere Ubu ever recorded.

Truly the oddest of the Ohio strain of punk/new wave bands (even out matching Devo in musical oddness) Pere Ubu were there at the beginning...but they weren't attached to any scene. And whereas Devo or Talking Heads went places and courted visible success (not to mention both snuggling up to Brian Eno), Ubu were left out here in the Ohio hinterlands...fusing a Dada-esque sensibility, synthesizer squalls, and the rawest garage rock to create their own rusty Midwest nightmare. The name of this blog comes from my perception of Ubu. But on to the music!
The Modern Dance Download
This first album has had it's hooks in me a long time. "Non-Alignment Pact" is a great opener: I love the hiccuping madness of David Thomas's vocals, the tight rhythm section, the propulsive guitar, the synth squall...by the time you reach "Sentimental Journey" near the end it's all band racket, Thomas's mumbling, a clarinet, and the sound of broken glass. It's nightmarish on headphones!
Dub Housing Download
Somewhat strangely, their second album came out on Chrysalis. It makes no concessions to the booming punk scene, and again stomps its own path out to the very edge of what a rock band could do. While there are moments of an even tighter rock focus ("Navvy", "I Will Wait", parts of "Caligari's Mirror"), you also have the waiting room in hell's train station feel of "Thriller!" And then there's "Drinking Wine Spodyody", in which the band sounds like it's trying to play disco sideways. And not for the last time in Thomas's discography, naval references and sea-shanty rhythms pop up here and there.

Allen Ravenstine's synthesizer sounds are one of the key things on these albums for me, especially on The Modern Dance. When he left Ubu in the 80's (to become a pilot), they lost some of that early madness. From the brutal pings that open "Non-Alignment Pact", the sizzling static underneath the boogie beat of the title track, the theremin-like sounds of "Humor Me", to the insidious melody of "On the Surface", he added that strange touch that helped make them other...

Ok, I'm done. Suffice to say, these are two essential albums from a group that truly sounded like no one else. They are touchstones of avant-garde music and first wave "punk" at the same time. And you can even tap your feet to some of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Scott): These have been here a few times before, in fact I think they may have originally been Brian's first shared links here.......These are DEFINITELY worthwhile, if you missed them before (they were removed) please don't miss em this time.
 
Mystery Comedy Post - Firesign
Firesign Theater

I had contributed these to Growing Bored For A Living months ago, but I had done it kind of sloppy. So, we're gonna remedy that. These are the first 5 Firesign Theater albums, three of them are Mobile Fidelity remasters. All are American comedy classics.

Some may not be familiar...a short way of saying it is that Firesign Theater were basically an American Monty Python. But they didn't do TV or movies; their medium was strictly comedy albums. And they were specifically constructed: just listen to Crush That Dwarf...it flows perfectly from beginning to end.

NOTE: Dear Friends is one long file...I couldn't find a sequenced track version. Give these all a listen; it's basically the comedy version of getting the first 5 Black Sabbath albums...enjoy!

(Scott): THis one is strictly at Brian's request, this is really not my kind of thing at all (BUT never forget: ANYTHING goes here!)......I remember hearing this a while back, it's OK I guess for what it is, but as I say, just not my kind of thing.
 
 
Betty Davis - A Baaaaaad Funk Mama
Maybe you've heard of Betty Davis. At one point married to Miles Davis, she showed him Sly Stone and Hendrix, steering Miles toward his fusion classics like Bitches Brew and Filles De Kilimanjaro. In fact, that's her on the cover of Filles.
Anyway, a while after she and Miles split, she embarked on a music career of her own. I must stress, Betty was not some dilettante dabbling in being a singer or something. She was steeped in black music, from R&B and soul to the deepest funk, and she assembled some killer studio bands for her albums. She created four funk classics of the 70's. For right now, you get two.
As happens with so much great stuff, practically nobody heard these back in the day, and they were rare until the mid-00's. And it's a shame, since there has NEVER been a frontwoman like Betty!
It gets bandied about how Betty was a pre-Madonna for her time. Hell, Madonna at her sexiest is a badly-dressed mallrat compared to Betty! And Betty's contemporaries? "Love to Love You Baby" and "Lady Marmalade" are histrionic, fake satin pillow bullshit compared to this stuff. Betty's sexuality is the equivalent of when Scorpion from Mortal Kombat would throw the spike and say GET OVER HERE!!!! Seriously, I would've been her slave....
But....ahem...on to the music. The band just kills it! From the bottomless bass that opens "If I'm In Luck I Might Get Picked Up" to the groovy "Shoo B-Doop and Cop Him"; the filthy wah-wah on "They Say I'm Different"; the funkier-than-Stevie ARP synth on "Don't Call Her No Tramp"...it's astounding, really.
And as for Betty? As I said before, these records fairly...um...drip with the woman's sexuality. I mean, her first line in "He Was A Big Freak" is "I used to beat him with a turquoise chain"! Betty can be kittenish, whispering, raging, and insidious. The woman clearly gave no quarter in the bedroom...

If you love tightly played funk music, these two are treasures. Two of the sexiest things anyone's ever recorded. So damn kinky they should come wrapped in hot pink plastic and be cherry flavored....

 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(Scott): Now, Jennifer Warnes I remember quite well from my high school years, in particular a stunning rendition of "Right Time of the Night" she performed on "Saturday Night Live"......I had pretty much forgotten about her (ok, TOTALLY forgotten about her), good to hear these albums again, thanks to Brian for digging these out.......
 
A Lost 70's Singer-Songwriter Classic
Ok, Jennifer Warnes... to those of us of a certain generation, she was the queen of 80's movie song duets (An Officer And A Gentleman and Dirty Dancing) as well as scoring some Country/Adult Contemporary hits at the turn of the 70's/80's. If this is all sounding very milquetoast and thrift store bin (think Rita Coolidge or Helen Reddy), rest assured. I wouldn't steer you wrong.
Jennifer is an amazingly talented singer, with a long history that spans some great projects. She's been a friend and collaborator of Leonard Cohen's since the early 70's - recording a Cohen tribute album called Famous Blue Raincoat, and that's her singing doo run run on "Tower Of Song". You also see her singing backup (with K.D. Lang and Bonnie Raitt) on Roy Orbison's Black and White Night....
But on to the point. In 1972 she released her third album, Jennifer , on Reprise. It didn't sell and was deleted a year or two later. It was unavailable until a Japanese CD release in 2013...
Jennifer (1972) Download

And this is a lustrous forgotten gem. I gotta say, I usually don't go for 70's female singer-songwriters; I think there's one Joni Mitchell album I like, Carole King is kinda boring, Emmylou Harris is too country, etc. But Jennifer...just, that voice! She's got kind of a country cry and lilt to it, but it's clear as a Tibetan bell. And did I mention this album is produced by John Cale! That was a selling point for me.
Every song but one is written by someone else, but Jennifer is one of those singers that makes anyone's stuff shine. Her take on Jackson Browne's "In the Morning" is a beautiful meet-the-sun kind of song. She also sings Browne's "These Days", putting a prettier spin on it than Nico did on Chelsea Girl.
"Empty Bottles" (written by Cale) is a lovely medium tempo number. She packs more drama into the 2:30 of "Sand and Foam" than some singers could put on a whole album. "All My Love's Laughter" is one of those heartbreakers that could've only come out in the 70's. "Needle and Thread" has a gorgeous melody. And "Be My Friend" has this sexy gutbucket piano funk to it - it's like a female version of Isaac Hayes'"Walk On By" - and Jennifer just sings her ass off. Easily my favorite on the album.
I may have tied a long tail on that one, but I'm completely entranced by this album. It's warmer than Mitchell's Blue, it's prettier than Tapestry.... By the end of the 70's she'd gone more middle of the road, never completely managing something this graceful again. Seriously, I've you've been through here and gambled on something I've suggested before, go with this one too.

Oh, and if I may be a sexist pig for a second, just...DAMN....
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(Scott): Last one for today, haven't listened to THIS, and we'll see when I get to it, to me the title pretty much says it all, but what could be more unique/odball than this?
 

 

The Ukelele Orchestra Of Great Britain
Yes, I wrote that. Ukuleles. A bunch of them. But don't be fooled...this is not goofy music. It isn't "hey, this is so odd it's good". While there is humor, this is also one of the most phenomenal groups I've ever heard. Really.

I've only discovered them recently and need to spread the word. The group was formed as a lark in 1985. Known for dressing to the nines, bringing all variety of ukes, and doing cover songs that one wouldn't here on ukeleles, they became an ongoing institution. They've performed in many countries and released several albums. What I'm giving you is two live albums recorded in London in front of rapturous audiences.

The group can play anything, but they completely transform the songs they do. "Anarchy In the U.K." is a lazily shuffling track with a lovely vocal harmony, "Pinball Wizard" is just astonishing, "Silver Machine" is almost as spacey as Hawkwind's original...hell, their take on Robert Johnson's "Hot Tamales" is even more frenetic than his!
They do some great movie themes too: "Thunderball" is full of drama, "The Good the Bad & the Ugly" is amazingly played and very appropriate for the instruments. And the "Theme From Shaft"? My God, they actually do the orchestral intro to the song....with ukeleles, guys!

There's a moment I gotta tell you about. On London 1, there's the track "Melange". It starts with the beginning of "Sympathy For the Devil"..."If I Were A Carpenter" weaves in, then "Hey Jude", "You Sexy Thing", "Waiting For My Man", "Heroes", "Angels", several others waft in and out....I get goosebumps listening to it!

These two albums are so damn good, you forget the fact that it's on ukeleles. It just sounds like amazingly played - and also immaculately recorded - music. Seriously, do not hesitate to download these! Link contains both albums.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SO a bunch of stuff today.......keep the guest material coming, and I WILL continue to do my part at least a couple times a week.......hoping Jonder gets that Duke Spirit thing together soon, that sounds great, I am going to continue the WOXY/KEXP thing in limited doses, we'll stiff have Cliff's great reggae submisssions, Apantabapanta's encyclopedia effort, and anything else anyone (and I mean ANYONE) wants to submit........as for me, you know me, next post might be Iron Butterfly or more Nazi Rock, ya just never know. Thanks to all who help me out, it keeps things fresh round here!


 





Darius and the Magnets

0
0
A quick swipe of the anti-punk, new-wave-psych "paisley underground" scene from the early 1980's, this is a pretty good, and almost totally forgotten album.......I do receommend giving it a shot. From 1982, Darius and the Magnets were singer/guitarist/sitarist/percussionist Darius Degher, bassist/vocalist/keyboardist Christopher Samu, and  Drummer Leland Waters......retro-1960's "trippy" sitar-driven psych, this is either enjoyable or humorous dependant upon your mood. "In the Valley of Dreams" (1982) is I think the only album the band put out under this name, I think there may have been an EP also, and Degher did some solo work as well as work with some other bands.......reminds me of maybe, Pearls Before Swine or someone like that (better than them actually), hypnotic hippie stuff, you'll love it or hate it

IN THE VALLEY OF DREAMS-01 Valley of Dreams/02 Unusual Girl/03 Stonesteps/04 Team Player (Can't Ya See)/05 Don't You Feel Like Me/06 Riders/07 Number Two

Just feeling in the mood to put up something else tonight, and sure as hell chose an oddball-eccentric choice. Please don't skip this one, lovers of psych, new wave, or hippie/nuggets type stuff. No question worth a listen!
