mp3: Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Diddy Wah Diddy mp3: Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Who Do You Think You're Fooling I was thrilled to receive this record in the post the other day. Excuse the vinyl nerdiness but I feel compelled to tell you that it's a US promo copy, first pressing -- as demonstrated by the incorrect songwriting credit on the Diddy Wah Diddy side. I bought it from...
Sure there has been much more done by Califone before and after this and I have yet to hear it all, but King Heron is still my favorite. (a bit dissapointed in 'Guilded Splinters' though) Highlights..."Heron King Blves" and Sawtooth Sung A Cheater's Song". Pitchfork review; Califone return in short sentence with an all new recording Heron King Blues, which comes fresh on the heels of...
In continuing the search for footage of various classics on YouTube, I found this here gem of Captain Beefheart performing "Upon the My Oh My" on the Old Grey Whistle Test . It also features a quality Aldous Huxley/vacuum cleaner sales anecdote. According to other parts of the internet, Virgin originally released "Upon the My Oh My" on a 1975 dsampler, V , although it was supposed...
I thought it would be fun to see if I can get from A to Z using the artists that I have on my MP3 player (a 20Gb Archos) – so here goes… Ayler (Albert) Beck Captain Beefheart Dylan (Bob) Eels Faust Grateful Dead Harper (Roy) Incredible String Band Jethro Tull Kesey (Ken) Led Zeppelin Misty [...]
There’s a method to the madness, I tell ya. The blog ran a contest a couple of weeks ago, asking our readers what they’d like to see more of. A sort of suggestion box or comment card. A common theme was “shorter reviews.” Alright then, I’ll try to keep the brevity rocking hard on this [...]
The Raincoats For all its claims to be revolutionary, punk was at least as sexist and patriarchal as the society it nominally attacked and the music it despised. Consequently, much punk rock is just another branch on the rock family tree. Instead, some of the most inventive music was made by bands fighting musical, cultural and gender stereotypes, key among them being the Slits, Kleenex and the Raincoats....
Downbeat: The Great Jazz Interviews: A 75th Anniversary Anthology. Edited and Compiled By Frank Alkyer. In July of 1934 the first issue of DownBeat magazine hit newsstands in Chicago. For the next seven-plus decades and counting the publication has been synonymous with jazz. DownBeat has chronicled every facet of jazz; every trend; every new and emerging sound. They have charted the birth and rise...
In truth, it might make more sense to post this after I listen to all of it but wtf .... 90% of this is easily available in HK, it was just a lot cheaper to get it "over there." * Where the Action Is: Los Angeles Nuggets 1965-1968. Four CD set, the fourth in Rhino's Nuggets series (an expansion of Lenny Kaye's original 2 LP compilation, I think it was on Elektra?). I'd downloaded this but...
Mercury Rev are the kind of group for whom Peel Sessions were originally conceived: an all-channels-open, questing outfit who took the opportunity to reassess old favourites and break virgin territory.
MODEY LEMON / Season Of Sweets CD / Birdman Records / 2008 I know it’s not technically a new release, but it’s a notable one. A bit of STOOGES, some CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, some SAINTS, and even a little LOOP here and there makes for a band worth checking out in my book. They’ve been rocking [...]
I discovered music relatively late in my life: I was in my early twenties, doing things I didn’t really want to do, far away from home. A friend gave me his MiniDisc for safekeeping (those were the dark-ages, MiniDisk was worth his weight in gold). Most of the music on it was Heavy Metal, Black [...]
PERE UBU / Long Live Pere Ubu CD / Hearpen Records / 2009 I lost track of the great PERE UBU sometime in the early ‘90s, when they started to sound depressingly more like a band influenced by R.E.M. than a band influencing it. But this CD is a great re-introduction for me to what [...]
