It was Jon, although I can't get hold of the original post at the moment. There are still a few artists - Oasis and Eminem spring to mind - whose assholeness gets read as 'authenticity' by some misguided critics, but this does seem to be on the decline. What I find odd is the kind of behaviour in which the Gallagher brothers indulge is *exactly* the same sort of thing which the dinosaur bands of the '70s did. Why on earth do critics compare their attitude to that of the Pistols when in reality they behave more like the Eagles, Zeppelin, or Fleetwood Mac? I find it hard to credit that I've never read a review of an Oasis album which used that late '70s critical buzzword 'bloated', 'cause to me that's just what they are. Tangentially, I guess the real theme of the Keith Moon biopic, if it ever gets made, should be the way in which his and the Who's wildman antics descended from genuine rebelliousness to chronic jaded-rich-guy assholism between the 1960s and the 1970s. With the possible exception of the Stones, I don't think any band's offstage behaviour better embodied the mess that rock'n'roll got itself into by the mid-70s. peace & love phil 'I didn't see it, and I don't want to see it.

Okay - I was putting together your post and whoever else's it was who noted that "vulnerability" was okay in rock *only* if admixed w/toughness - - vulnerability alone gets musicians dismissed out of hand. In other words, I was noting the admixture in Mann's case. > It was Jon, although I can't get hold of the original post at the moment.

Eminem brings up the obvious exception: except in hip-hop.

Somewhere along the line, rebelling against (in order) parental strictures, racial norms, social conformity, and an oppressive political order got turned into "I'm a rock star, so anything I do is my expression of 'rebellion,' a/k/a 'not giving a fuck about anyone else.'" Which led to: if you wanna be a rock'n'roll star, just act like an asshole - something that I've noticed in comedy as well. I think the current descendent - along the whole line of fratboy mentality - is gross-out comedy, which seems to have, in addition to its obvious self-targeting, a peculiar sort of hostility to others as well. Example: I caught about two minutes of Andy Dick's show on MTV, during which he was dressed in a diaper and (apparently, from what you could see) pissed on a guy who was...what, being paid?...to "take care of" him (that's my guess as to the scenario based on the two minutes I watched it - for all I know, the whole thing was really a deconstruction of Hegelian philosophical premises). - --Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html ::Being young, carefree, having your whole life ahead of you, ::dancing the night away to celebrate... ::oh, and the untimely death of Jackson Pollock. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 10:23:05 -0500 From: Miles Goosens Subject: Re: [loud-fans] giveaway update II At 10:01 AM 7/31/2001 -0500, Jeffrey with 2 Fs Jeffrey wrote: >On 31 Jul 2001, Dan Schmidt wrote: > >> Aaron Mandel writes: >> >> | > Me Phi Me ONE >> | >> | How many A-B-A band names are there?

In other words, I was noting the admixture in Mann's case. Sure - but I think Aimee gets a rougher ride from the likes of Christgau than say, Liz Phair for being more open about her vulnerability and less obviously 'fuck you' in her response. She's not wimpy about things, but her general lack of overt aggression seems to count against her. > Exactly.

Which led to: if you wanna be a rock'n'roll > star, just act like an asshole - something that I've noticed in comedy > as well. Yeah, I've often thought this over the last few years. The distinction that comes to mind for me is between Bill Hicks and Denis Leary. Not that I actively dislike Leary, but there's a definite emptiness and MTV-approved quality to his outrageousness, whereas Hicks' stuff still looks fresh to me because it never had the chance to become so codified and so divorced from the feelings which spawned it in the first place (and I'd like to think that this would have remained the case if Hicks had lived). Actually, this kind of relates to the above, in that empty displays of rebellion are often read as signs of an artist's latent sensitive, complex soul rather than simply meaning that the person concerned is something of a brat. (The literary antecedent who springs to mind is Jimmy Porter in Osborne's 'Look Back in Anger'.) peace & love phil Phil Gerrard Senior Admissions Officer The External Programme University of London E-mail: p.gerrard@eisa.lon.ac.uk 'Phone: 020 7862 8369 Fax: 020 7862 8363 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 10:09:02 -0600 From: Stewart Mason Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Bill Pritchard At 03:03 AM 7/31/01 -0400, Michael Mitton wrote: >I was listening today to Bill Pritchard's "Invisible State/Kenneth Baker" >CD single, which reminded me of how much I liked his only US release, >"Three Months, Three Weeks, and Two Days."

I've heard a couple of Pritchard's Belgian albums (on the Play It Again Sam label) and they're more of the same, so if you like THREE MONTHS, go for it. And they're not actually *that* difficult to locate; Belgian labels of the 80s (Factory Benelux, Les Disques du Crepuscule, Crammed Discs, Play It Again Sam, etc.) tended to have much better UK/US distribution than most European labels, and I've fun across a lot of copies of Pritchard's records over the years.

Jeff gives it all away, I'm simply providing comments: Bride of No-No B.O.N.N. APETIT! This record is not indicative of what this band can do. The drummer who played on this was canned immediately after the record was recorded, and with good reason, as she seems to play in a different time than the rest of the band. Not a different time *signature*, a different time altogether. Their new (well, she's been with the band for over a year, but since this record, anyhow) drummer, Shannon Morrow, is fantastic. Since she happens to live across the street from me, I asked her if they had anything new recorded with her on it. They don't, but hope to by this October, when they'll be playing at some festival in LA (I think that's where she said it was) headlined by Sonic Youth, and featuring the likes of Derek Bailey and Jim O'Rourke. Their sound involves the abrasiveness of No Wave, with the gratuitous complexity of prog, and a jazzy sense of harmony, generally played at a not too loud volume. They perform wearing some sort of traditional Muslim women's garb, including full facial concealment. Azita Yousefi (sp?), their leader / bassist / frontwoman, is exceptionally talented, if a bit abrasive. If this sort of thing flips your wig, I'd highly recommend catching their live show (outside of regular Chicago gigs and this LA thing, they do seem to tour fairly regularly). - --DM ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 12:20:03 -0500 From: Dennis_McGreevy@praxair.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] giveaway update II Jeff, then Charity, then Elizabeth: >> Toby Dammit TOP DOLLAR >> --named after Euro film character, recommendation by a Cryptic >> Corp. guy! > >Named after the film character but not after the Edgar >Allan Poe character?

"Baby Man", a chest-beatingly bombastic anthem about the righteous glory of leeching off one's significant other ("I've got yours and now it mi-ine I'M DOING FINE!") is my pick for the best track on this, and with it's unfashionable synth sounds and confused self aggrandizement, is typical of the best of his stuff. (I once offered him a rewrite of Neil Diamond's "America", reimagined from the more xenophobic perspective of actual U.S. immigration policy, a gesture to which he took a sort of slippery offense.) He has a new one due for release soon, and in addition to the bombastic stuff, there's also an abundance of long pseudo-baroque passages reminicent to my ears of the psychedelic Kinks, only with ultra-slick production. And he's no longer carping about being the Antichrist. Apparently, he's looking for a new press hook, and as he will be a father in a couple months, his bass player was telling me that he (Jonathan, the bass player) was encouraging Bobby to use interviews as a forum to urge humanity to fulfill its biological destiny to reproduce until the ecosystem can no longer support us (with baby sitting on knee during interviews, of course). This apparently did not go over well with Bobby, who despite various postures, is actually a pretty nice guy. - --D "Camps! We must inter them in camps!

I regard it suspiciously, much like jazz snobs think of the electric bass, as somehow an obvious sign of mendacity and concomitant lack of musical substance. I must go and starch my shirt now.

They're on a brief southern swing right now: - --Wed., Aug. 1: Chapel Hill, NC @ Local 506 - --Thurs., Aug. 2: Athens, GA @ the Engine Room - --Fri., Aug. 3: Monticello, MS @ Black Dog Record's Rock n' Roll Summer Camp shin dig w/ Tyler Keith & the Preacher's Kids, Cary Hudson, The Tares, et al... - --Sat., Aug. 4: Memphis, TN @ the Hi-Tone Cafe BARBARA MANNING & THE GO-LUCKYS are on an extended tour. To be honest, IMO her new "You Should Know By Now" isn't one of her better efforts. But I saw the band last night and they were great, doing a broad sampling of her catalog. The next several dates: August 1, Wednesday: Carrboro, NC - Cat's Cradle August 2, Thursday: Baltimore, MD - Otto Bar August 3, Friday: Washington, DC - Black Cat August 5, Sunday: New York City, NY - Tonic August 7, Tuesday: Hoboken, NJ - Maxwells August 8, Wednesday: Philadelphia, PN - Kyber Pass August 10, Friday: Boston, MA - TT The Bears August 11, Saturday, 2pm: Easthampton, MA - Flywheel August 12, Sunday: Albany, NY - Valentine's August 13, Monday: Rochester, NY - Monty's Korner August 14, Tuesday: Cincinnati, OH - Sudsy Malone's August 15, Wednesday: Detroit, MI - Gold Dollar August 16, Thursday: Chicago, IL - 7pm Reckless Records (Wicker park) August 17, Friday: Chicago, IL - Congress Theater at Ladyfest August 18, Saturday: Madison, WI - Club Tavern August 19, Sunday: Minneapolis, MN - 400 Bar (I just realized how much this reads like a press mailing- I'm not affiliated with either of these bands- I swear. But if high-quality bands- and nice people to boot- set out on the road and get little response, I hate to think of the ramifications.) ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V1 #179 *******************************
