(Link to www.nfb.ca) ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Nov 2006 15:31:13 -0800 From: Eb Subject: Random musical notes, including Eb Recently heard an album for the first time which I've wanted to hear for ages: R. Thompson's "Henry the Human Fly." It's perfectly fine and well-worth owning, but I was surprised that it was so easily likable. I've heard so much about this album being a notorious commercial bomb and so weirdly eclectic, etc...it really doesn't sound much different from his other work, beyond the vocal mix sounding more "treated" than usual. The only glaringly left-field ingredient was the Salvation Army horn part on "Mary and Joseph." Some lesser nuggets I've heard all/some of in recent weeks, but vote "NO" on: 1 Sufjan Stevens/Songs for Christmas...gawd, learn to self-edit already, you drippy bozo. 2 Michael Rother/Flammende Herzen...similar to Neu!, but more based in guitar lines and too much "melody" as opposed to sheer "momentum." Of more interest to Mike Oldfield fans than Neu!, but that's not necessarily a good thing. 3 Various/Come to the Sunshine: Soft Pop Nuggets from the WEA Vaults...yeah, I've been checking out some so-called "sunshine pop" lately. The most interesting thing about this album was hearing a song called "Scorpio Red" which betrayed much more songwriting craft than the others. Stoked my curiosity. I hadn't heard of "The Holy Mackerel," so I looked them up just to see if there might be some burgeoning star buried in the group. And whaddya know? It was Paul Williams' psychedelic band. Huh. New factoid to file away. 4-5 The Free Design/Kites Are Fun + You Could Be Born Again...I can see the influence on Stereolab, but it's still EZ-listening fluff which makes even the Association seem rockin'. The songwriting can be much more subversive than the arrangements, though -- the melodies are NOT generic, and a couple of songs had surprisingly cynical lyrics which totally clashed with the musical ambience. Check out the lyrics for "The Proper Ornaments": - ------------------------- Ba Ba Ba... Ornaments of Life, ornaments of life Theres your brand new car, sir, heres your hat and gloves Theres your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love Theres your color TV set and your impressive pad Theres your little baby girl youre almost glad you had Such a pretty dress, miss, such a graceful walk Bubbling femininity, authoritative talk Theres your man hes prominent; treats you like a queen All your little secrets kept, your reputations clean The proper ornaments of life. Gotta have status have a paid vacation, have an intellectual education ornaments of life proper ornaments of life fur coats, jewels and laces, bright red lipstick, big cars, money, tuxes and top hats hide behind the mask of clothes and makeup: ornaments Theres your brand new car, sir, heres your hat and gloves Theres your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love Theres your color TV set and your impressive pad Theres your little baby girl youre almost glad you had Whats behind that countenance Whats behind the lace, What is in your mind and heart Thats hidden by your face Behind the ornaments in your life? Ba, ba, ba. - ------------------------- Wow. 6 Roger Nichols & the Small Circle of Friends-self- titled...definitely a part of the '60s "A&M Sound," though it also falls too close to easy-listening. There were some interesting, nimble melodic twists in the first and last tracks, though. I especially liked "Love Song, Love Song," which has some of those inverted Brian Wilson chords which always make me tingle. 7 The Music Emporium-The Music Emporium....TERRIBLE psychedelic relic. Phew. Just plain retarded. 8 Eclection-Eclection...UK folk-rock obscurity, sorta halfway between Fairport Convention and the California Mamas & Papas-type sound, but unfortunately closer to the Mamas & Papas. Has those great atmospheric production values which so many early Elektra releases have, though. Interesting album to hear...once. 9 The Sunshine Company-The Best of Sunshine Company. Bah...a square Jefferson Airplane. I have one of their original records in one of my discard boxes somewhere. 10 Sufjan Stevens-A Sun Came...this one isn't even good by Sufjan Stevens standards. And it's more overtly religious, besides. 11 Bound Stems-The Logic of Building the Body Plan...more from that grating doubletracked-stranglevocal school which the Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade launched. I don't get it. 12 Sufjan Stevens-The Avalanche...yes, I've deduced that I am not a Sufjan Stevens fan by now. 13 J.K. & Co.-Suddenly One Summer. Another lousy psychedelic relic. The "hook" here is that the group's leader was only 15 years old, and you really wouldn't guess this based on the music alone. However, it's groovy hippie tripe, all the same. 14 The Nice Boys-The Nice Boys...if there's one thing which a power- pop band must do, it is sing on pitch. 15 The Soft Machine-Vols. 1 & 2...almost good, but too dated and hippie-silly. A few scattered tracks worth salvaging, especially "Why Are We Sleeping" (later covered by Bongwater). But this is the type of record where everything is an edited-together suite, and this gives the band the ability to insert half-written snippets which "contribute ambience" but could never stand up on their own. I enjoyed hearing Robert Wyatt sing the alphabet. 16 Ian Hunter-Overnight Angels. Bleh. 17 The Temptations-Cloud Nine. Title song and "Runaway Child, Running Wild" are interesting psychedelic-soul fusions, but the rest is standard-issue Motown. 18 The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band-Part One. I've been curious about this band's albums for awhile. Now I wonder why. This is also lousy. Sounds totally half-assed, like the band is just goofing around with malformed material. The "Help, I'm a Rock" cover is not as interesting as you would think. 19 The Millennium et al-Magic Time: The Millennium/Ballroom Sessions (triple-disc set). Heard a few different Curt Boettcher projects, lately. This stuff has a really weird vibe, which is almost enough to make it worthwhile. It's basically more sunshine, sub-Association stuff, but the production is very sharp and clever; there are some odd twists of melody which push the envelope in surprising ways ("Would You Like to Go" -- also recorded for the semi-legendary Sagittarius album Present Tense -- strongly reminds me of a '60s-era Of Montreal); and the lyrics often have a really eerie, preachy vibe which almost sounds like the spiel of a religious cult. Lots of talk of "escape" to an island, a magic land, etc. which sounds more ominous/isolationist than idyllic. Also, some strange self- referential bits. One track's only vocal is a chant of "Columbia...CBS" (the music's original label). "There Is Nothing More to Say" is my favorite track of all, and the lyrics fully creep me out, especially when mixed with the sugar-sweet melody: "There is something that you hear in so many of our songs/But it's something that we want you to know/Oh the time is going to come/When we're going to lead the way/You'll be shown the way/And shown the time/We only need to go/Oh if you will listen you will see what I mean/As you watch all the ways of the world that we're in/And if you will listen when you know what you've seen/You will watch and be ready when it's time to begin." Get that "cult" vibe I'm talking about? 20 The New Barbarians-Buried Alive: Live in Maryland..if there's one thing which a Ron Wood-led band must do, it is to not let Ron Wood sing. 21 The Great Speckled Bird-The Great Speckled Bird...hadn't heard of this before, but I've heard of Ian & Sylvia. This is their project, and supposedly an important early country-rock record, but it sounds pretty stiff and square compared with the various Gram Parsons projects. 22 Roy Harper-Stormcock...was very curious to hear this, after hearing how great he/it is so many times. But I didn't like it...four long tracks, and very droning and repetitive. I might like hearing him record someone else's material. 23 Buck Owens-I've Got a Tiger by the Tail...one of those records where my academic head realizes it's "great," and I feel guilty for not personally connecting with it. 24 Grapefruit-Around Grapefruit...Badfinger-type band signed to the Beatles' music-publishing company. Sort of a lush Moody Blues feel to the production. I thought I might like this, but the album is just too spotty. The whole second half is a washout. I liked two isolated tracks a lot, though: "Elevator" and the opening "Another Game." Oddly, I was NOT especially crazy about the semi-hit single "Dear Delilah." 25 Caetano Veloso-Caetano Veloso [1967]...really interesting to hear, but I didn't quite like it. A signpost of th "tropicalia" sound, but I hoped for more of a psychedelic element than it actually had. No matter how acid-buzzy the background gets, the edges are still dulled by those sit-back-and-relax Veloso vocals. Too mellow for me. 26 White Noise-An Electric Storm...I expected to like this, until I heard the whole thing from beginning to end. It deserves credit for being an early experiment mixing electronics and pop, but the United States of America and Silver Apples are miles better. Good for some novelty snickers ("Here Come the Fleas" is a self-evident title), but not much more. 27 Mighty Baby-Mighty Baby...beefy, widescreen psychedelia from a band descended from the mod group The Action. Almost good, but the songs are overlong and there's a lurking Grateful Dead-like boogie element which turned me off. 28 Chrysalis-Definition...strange, ornate folk-ballad record from a band which was almost produced by Frank Zappa. The first track "What Will Become of the Morning" is really unusual and interesting, with lots of hyperactive meter shifts and things, but most of the other tracks were just drab downbeat items. Another interesting-to-hear- once record. 29 The Birds-A Collector's Guide to Rare British Birds...Ron Wood doesn't sing this time, but this is just standard-issue '60s-garage stuff. Good to add to a '60s mix CD, but too lame to play on its own. 30 Hilmar Orn Hilmarrson-Angels of the Universe...Icelandic soundtrack, direct from the Sigur Ros school but more traditionally classical. Closes with two good tracks by the Siggies themselves. 31 Lou Reed-Mistrial. OK, this is pretty bad. Fatally "eighties" production, though the final track "Tell It to Your Heart" may be better than the rest of the album combined. Some of you '80s-janglists might enjoy this blog: http://rideyourpony- twighlightzone.blogspot.com Seems to post every mediocre '60s- derivative album imaginable from the '80s psych underground -- I feel like I unloaded a third of this blog at the Moby Disc trade-in counter, 15-18 years ago.

Hey, cut the boy some slack. It's very early work from him, re-released. But you've got to love 'Godzuki': "Oh, who is that? She looks good. What's your name?" "My name is Lauramechbaidumeinchbib Beautiful Lovely Lady. Did you hear what I said?" "Yeah, sure I did." "I am, uh, Chriskpalpidon." "Ah, you wanna know what my name is?" "What, big fella?" "Oh, my name is, um, Godzuki." "Ya big fella! Godzuki reminds me of a booger. Goodbye!" If I were being evil, I'd recommend 'Enjoy Your Rabbit', but I can't be.

Of course not. The statement itself is nothing but arrogant, self-righteous rationalization of meanness and petty jealousy. "Whoops. That guy sure looks like he's getting too interested in his life and connected with himself and the people around him. I'd better go make a sidelong attempt at pointing out how insignificant an individual life is (except famous people that I like, of course) and mock all open expression." Nobody has the right to attempt adjustments on other people's egos without permission (such as the implicit permission we give our friends and loved ones or the explicit permission we might give a therapist). And not only is it arrogant and stupid to think you have the understanding and skill necessary to effectively and constructively apply such an adjustment, the belief that you have the insight and objectivity necessary to assess the need of such a thing is beyond sane. Can we stop now?

I'm almost 5 foot 7 tall, I like to smoke and drink and ball. Hippie-silly would be Gong, Wyatt's lyrics are more winky-silly. But it's all about the riffs and the groove, really, and Soft Machine II points the way to the later albums.
