WFMU's Beware of the Blog

Video Four-Pack V.7 (Die Kreuzen, Flirtations, Steven Jesse Bernstein, Dälek)

Clockwise, from top left:

1. Die Kreuzen performs the song "Stomp" from their 1988 album "Century Days". As a high school kid of the same era, I was definitely drawn to this band for their complex sound and their cool sounding name (not pronounced, as I quickly learned, "Die Cruisin'", but "Dee Kroytzin" which I believe means "The Cross", or "The Crossing", or something like that). Along with bands like Husker Du and Articles of Faith, Die Kreuzen played a big hand in kickstarting the early 80s midwest hardcore explosion. Their first album, still available on CD from the great Touch n' Go label, is definitely one of the most psychotic period pieces for fans of the fast n' loud theory. Subsequent releases flirted with slower and more metallic styles, but this track still blows minds even with the curious inclusion of a horn section. I only ever got to see them live sometime in '92, but ask Pseu Braun or Diane Kamikaze to dish on earlier eras, and I can promise you they'll have hair-shaking stories of only the highest order. Die Kreuzen singer Dan Kubinski now fronts the wholly menacing Decapitado, who make no less of a statement.

2. The Flirtations' "Nothing but a Heartache" is a Northern Soul staple that a lot of DJs at WFMU have a not-so-secret obsession with, as you can see here. I first tripped over it years ago on the great Rhino Records' "Soul Shots" compilation series, and even though I've never once heard any of their other songs,  it could only be some kind of a joker or serious lightweight who'd argue the greatness of "Nothing but a Heartache". In recent years, I've heard at least two modern garage bands cover this song and completely suck the life out it to the point of non-recognition... Which says far more about the Esteban Pequeño followers than anything else. (Cough). Anyway, the (rather strange) video for the Flirtations original just crossed my desk recently, and that seemed like a good cue to share it with y'all.

3. Dälek is nothing less than the sound and sensation of where forward-thinking hip-hop ought to be heading, rather than tragically (more like "comically") mimicking the mainstream. I've stated many times over the last ten years that few other modern artists summate everything I love about music more than these guys do. (The Ex are up there, too.) As such, they've played on my show three different times, and have never ceased to blow me away with each and every visit. Caught here by YouTube user SkilU, they perform "Subversive Script", the best song off their most recent album ("Abandoned Language") on Ipecac Records. Sadly, American audiences don't go off the way these (European) kids do... If Dalek shows in NYC turned 'em out like this, maybe I'd go out more. Ptthhh.

4. Steven Jesse Bernstein was an American poet and artist who buddied around with William S. Burroughs and released an incredible album of poetry on Sub Pop Records in 1992 with an assist from scenester/recording guru Steve Fisk. Bernstein spent much of his life living in Seattle (perhaps where he developed his iconic drawl), became a cultural fixture within the area's underground music scene, and then tragically took his own life shortly before his 41st birthday. I happen to regard the track "More Noise Please" (from the Sub Pop album, "Prison") as one of the most beautiful and moving pieces of audio art ever made, and I've played it on the radio often. [Stream Real Audio]. This video is a montage of stills set to the song "No No Man II", which is slightly more in your face.

Mycymbal.com

 

Mycymbal.com is a bizarre drum fetish / e-commerce site.  After reading fairly elaborate descriptions of various limited edition and prototype cymbals, potential buyers can then listen to a sample of the exact cymbal they are going to buy. Bronze alloys, defined stick attack, crashability and spanky ping are all discussed.

I was amused when I browsed to the cymbal bag pages and heard a sample of the zipper closing but alas it's only a joke: the sample appears to be the same on all the pages.

The whole site feels like a narrative device out of a JG Ballard story and I would guess that it might be destined for the NY Times magazine consumed column at some point. Link (via ANP Quaterly)

Video Truffles: Mandom

One of my favorite artists back in Boston was the truly creative Leslie Hall. She not only sat down and taught herself how to slam beats and rhymes on her Mac one bored summer in Ames, Iowa, but she turned her new passion into a way of life. As leader of Leslie and the Ly's (really just her, with a rotating selection of Ly's), she's become the love princess of drag queens and post-feminists alike, and tours the country in a gussied up mobile home, sporting home-made gold pants and bedazzling all the old-lady sweaters she can get her hands on. But best of all, she really pulls off some funky fresh and wild jams, with videos to match. Her new album features a tribute to the Ron Howard fantasy crap-sterpiece Willow that is just not to be missed...and so, here it is.

Speaking of music videos, the new way for unknown artists to really get attention these days is via the wonder of YouTube. That is how this July Tay Zonday's "Chocolate Rain" became "the most listened to song in the world". Of course, it helps if you look like the Fresh Prince Urkel but belt like James Earl Jones. Oh, and if you call your song "Chocolate Rain".

Italian animator Guido Manulli is perhaps most famous for his work on the cult film Allegro Non Troppo, but he was also known for doing some groovy sci-fi animated videos, like this one for Italian electro-funk brothers La Bionda (who play along in front of the screen).

See and download the animated only version here.

Supercouple Luke and Laura may have been the hottest ticket on General Hospital back in the day, but nothing could match the heat of Anthony Geary's Member's Only jacket.

Jacket marketers take note: if you want to recapture the glory of that classic ad, you might consider casting WFMU's own Scott Williams. Of course, even he is nowhere near as sexy as Charles Bronson. But at least we can all smell like Bronson, thanks to Mandom. Yes, Mandom!

365 Days #290 - S.H. Speaks in Tongues and Buys a Coke (mp3s)

MP3:
S.H. Speaks in Tongues and Buys a Coke (7:17)

Here's another of my treasured radio memories. As the 19-year-old low man on the totem pole at WPID Radio—a 1000-watt AM station in a tiny Alabama town—it was often my lot in life to be stuck with the all-day Sunday shift. And though the station's format was country music Monday through Friday, on Sunday it was wall-to-wall Jesus. From local sunrise to local sunset WPID broadcast an assortment of live remote church services, pre-recorded religious programs, gospel music, and live-in-the-studio preachers.

S.H. was one of the latter, a diminutive fire-and-brimstone breathing, tongue-speaking man on a mission. While most of our live preachers would bring friends or family members along to help with their broadcasts, S.H. was a lone wolf. He would arrive a few minutes before air time, give me $35.00 in cash for his half-hour program, and make his way to our tiny studio. At 4:30 PM I'd introduce him, and he'd be off and running.

This day's message had to do with how the "Bride of Christ" shouldn't orta not be livin' right or something along those lines. About twenty-five minutes into the program he started speaking in tongues, and I had the foresight to hit the "Record" button on one of our ancient Teac reel-to-reel machines and catch the remainder of the show on tape. Since the studio mike was routed through the tape recorder, I also caught the audio from the studio after the broadcast ended. Listen in glorious 192 kbps dual mono as S.H. asks how much those Cokes are, and then buys himself one!

If you're a cut-to-the-chase type, you can find the tongue-speaking at 0:25 and 3:43 and the Coke-buying at 6:32.

The First Fruit From the Free Music Tree (Flaming Fire MP3s)

We're happy to announce that WFMU-stalwarts Flaming Fire have released a recording of a live set from the first show in the Free Music Series under a Creative Commons license! This is the first live set added to the Free Music Archive project and is now free for non-commercial distribution throughout the web. So please link to this post and help us get the word out!

This is a grand experiment in independent, direct licensing. Together we're going to help prove that free licensing can help a band spread the word on the web. They're also wading in Radiohead waters by releasing these tracks on a new CD along with 5 other studio recordings, and they'll be selling them on the tour that they just kicked off this week. The album's called Kentucky Shroud, and you can buy it on their website. (I've got a physical copy right here in my lap and my head wrapped in sound as I write - the album's incredibly good.) Here's a list of tracks that are now available under a Creative Commons license. You're free to post this elsewhere, so long as you post it along with the Creative Commons button below, which links to the license agreement:

Fire of Love
Water Privitization Man
High Bell
Kill the Right People
I Love the Way You Kill Me

And here's a video of the closing number from this event:

So now you know they're good live. Here's a list of tour dates - if you're in any of these cities during the next two months (or in New Orleans tonight), go pay the band your respect:

"Fuck Everything But tATu"

I now understand the divine wisdom behind Mischa Barton's premature departure from The OC. Clearly, she was called upon by a higher power to make the greatest Cheesy Euro Disco movie of all time - a film that will surely be a contender for the best terrible music flick ever - Finding t.A.T.u.

It's the tale of two teenage girls who fall in love after meeting at a t.A.T.u concert and are swept into a dangerous world of obsession, drug abuse and murder - kind of  24 Hour Party People meets Eastern Promises.

A short was leaked onto the internet today, so who am I to stand in the way of two faux Russian lesbians and their viral marketing campaign:

If the sight of Mischa Barton navigating her way among hanging slabs of meat in a livestock factory isn't enough to make you count the days till it's release, then just ponder the immortal words that one of the protagonists types into her blackberry:

"Fuck everything but t.A.T.u. They're nihilists. Beautiful nihilists."

Just think. They came this close to defeating Vladimir Putin for the presidency of Russia.

thanks Doron and Idolator!

Sheep have it bad.  One the one side we have the infamous Minor Threat analogy that to be like sheep in the modern world is the lowest of the low.  To follow blindly and accept anyone/any trend as leader seems to be the unfortunate choice of so many overstimulated American consumers (because we have now devolved into consumers, a definate downgrade from de Tocqueville's citizens).  On the other side of the pasture fence, is the peaceful little bundle of soon to be wool, that only asks for a green patch, and yearly sheering to blithely carry on its' eco-cycle of no-kill production of goods.  Well, yes, occasionally there is the one too many rams that need to be shipped off to start their own commune or perhaps eaten.  Of course the natural solution would be to let the wolves thin the flock, but unfortunately they don't kill by gender, and then all those handsome llamas and master sheep dogs would be out of work and that could get very ugly on a Saturday night  in downtown small townville.

ANYWAY, there I was  killing time while in line at my semi-local, overpriced, out to crush the little guy organic supermart and a lefty publication caught my eye, suggesting vegan options to WOOL!  Wool, the perfect no-kill winter weather protector?  Wool, the happiest product of the sweetest little rambouillet and hebridean? 

The article cited industrial sheep farming in Australia, as the destructive culprit, suggesting sheering leads to some animaIs freezing to death, and being unfairly treated. While I am not a vegan, I  do surely know that Industrial farming can lead to no good end.  What about all the small-time farmers who raise sheep as members of the family, naming them and grieving emotionally and financially if one should pass on before its time?   To take this encouragement of  avoiding wool to a practical application; If no one wore wool, then wouldn't sheep die out, in that no one would raise a farm animal that  wasn't  bringing in money?  I can't really continue this train of thought, it's too horrifying to think of a world without sheeeeeep...

For those who worship sheep and all they stand for, the holiest of weekends is fast approaching:  the annual Sheep and Wool Festival held at the Rhinebeck, NY fair grounds, October 20, 21.  Hundreds of vendors and small farmers from near and far haul their prized animals in to show folk how good the pastoral life can be. In past visits I've met some wonderful longtime farmers and just starting out, second career folks who are working hard to find a way to make a living off the land in an wholistic and individual way.  Quick, make that reservation for your Zipcar to carry you away to the land of sheep dog trials, home spun yarns, alpacas, maple candies and fabulous lamb stew.

365 Days #289 - Outtakes from the 2003 365 Days Project - Part IV (mp3s)

In 2003 on the first run of the 365 Days Project there were a lot of contributions that did not make it online.  Now in 2007 we are compiling those tracks into volumes for your download.  Here we go with volume 4 in the ongoing series.

Alan Vega Meets Oneida Rockers Downtown

WFMU's Free Music Series took a turn for the legendary during the climax of Alan Vega's solo set this past Saturday night. After stunning the packed house with the kind of wild rants heard on his new album "Station", Vega was joined on stage by headliners Oneida, and together they destroyed the whole room with a rendition of the Suicide classic "Rocket USA". After the set, the musicians retired to Southpaw's backstage area where this photo (right) of all involved parties was snapped by Leah Moskowitz.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the show, especially the performers, volunteers, and the Southpaw staff. We'll be back at ya soon with yet more in the way of free shows, so don't dance too far from your radios.

In the meantime, here's Suicide performing the original version of "Rocket USA". [Real Audio]

Angst, Spew, and Vitriol

In these heady days of Web 2.0, it's hard for a gal to stay abreast of what her fellow humans have been up to on the internet. So many different blogs to read, virtual communities to drop in on, social networks to tap. What if there was a one-stop shop for all of my internet needs?

Don't thank me yet, but I've discovered a few easy ways of catching up on the internet, which might prove useful to those like me who need a quaint little executive summary of this big ol' internet every now and again.

Stupid Comment Randomizer - Thanks to the folks over at stupidfilter.org, I can now catch up on the best YouTube comments in one place. If it weren't for the SCR, I would have totally missed these gems:

OMG OMG! best thought to make a video wit it!adds to favss i love ittttttttttttttt

You just dancing is sexy as hell! You should be bored more often, cuz you make some sexy azz videos! This video would be perfect if you also danced from the front too. Keep doin ya thing ma! Even though its just from da back its still a sexy azz video, sweetie!

Big thanks to Marcus and Andy for vastly improving my internet experiences.

365 Days #288 - Sheena Scott (mp3s)

I love Sheena Scott. I first discovered her via her 1971 single 'My Sugar Daddy', which I rescued from a sea of mud on a rainy day at a car boot sale, attracted by her suggestive pose on the cover and her bold signature where she has signed the sleeve.

'My Sugar Daddy' proved to be a cheeky slice of burlesque fun, enhanced by Marilyn Monroe-esque squeels of delight (from her not me, I'm not quite that excited!). Since then I looked out for other Sheena records and have so far found the original Belgian single of My Sugar Daddy (where it goes under the Dutch title Kijk In Mijn Ogen, which translates as Look In My Eyes) and no less than three albums.

Finns on YouTube

Here is a four-pack of YouTube videos from Finland, the country that is famous for its virtually incomprehensible language and for the fact that it has more lakes than people.

 

Clockwise from top left you can see the following:

Ultra Bra does "Sinä Lähdit Pois". Every Finn I have ever met knows Ultra Bra, the quintessential Finnish band of the 90s, but nearly nobody outside of Finland has ever heard of them. This has to change. Unfortunately they broke up in 2001.

Cleaning Women do the soundtrack to a condensed version of the Soviet silent Science Fiction classic Aelita: Queen of Mars from 1924. Most memorable quote: "Follow our example, Comrades! Unite into a family of workers in a Martian Union of Socialist Soviet Republics!"

Circle, pioneers of the New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal, play "Nopeuskuningas" on a bus in San Francisco. Don't forget to check out their recent live appearance on Brian Turner's show on WFMU.

Alamaailman Vasarat, masters of kebab-kosher-jazz-film-traffic-punk-music, play a song called Astiatehdas. The music of this band, whose name means "Hammers of the Underworld", is just unbelievable, and the videos are, too. Why the heck don't they have an American distributor?

If the embedded player doesn't work for you, or if you want to check out related videos, here are the direct YouTube links: Ultra Bra - Sinä Lähdit Pois | Cleaning Women - Aelita | Circle - Nopeuskuningas | Alamaailman Vasarat - Astiatehdas

Hermeto Pascoal Plays a Lagoon (video)

Here's an excerpt from Brazilian composer Hermeto Pascoal's piece Musica de Lagoa, in which Pascoal plays underwater flute, while accompanied by a chorus of bottle blowers.

365 Days #287 - Don Moreland (mp3s)

Today's post is sort of a follow-up to the Merigail Moreland page I posted a few weeks ago. Heard on a few of the tracks for that day was Merigail's father, Mr. Donovan Moreland. Today I've provided several tracks featuring Don Moreland, either alone or as part of a group, as well as a few other tracks heard on the same tapes as these tracks, recordings I believe that Mr. Moreland was likely involved in as well.

MP3:
01. Don Moreland - Why (3:04)
02. Don Moreland - Pennies From Heaven (Joke Version) (Live) (1:55)
03. Don Moreland - Why (Live) (2:15)
04. Don Moreland - September Song (Live) (2:59)
05. Don Moreland and Herb - Songs of Tomorrow, Part One (5:05)
06. Don Moreland and Herb - Songs of Tomorrow, Part Two (3:43)
07. Don Moreland and Herb - Songs of Tomorrow, Part Three (5:53)
08. Rose Ramirez - Come Back (2:15)
09. Unknown Vocal Group - Backfire (Version One) (2:17)
10. Unknown Vocal Group - Backfire (Version Two) (2:19)
11. The Notables - The Notables (8:51)
Image: Acetate

For the background on how I came across these tapes, please see the previous post on Merigail Moreland. Incidentally, in my own blog, I have posted several other Merigail Moreland tracks, including tracks I left out of the 365 days posting, and several songs she recorded around 1980, recordings which I received in the mail the same week that Merigail's post appeared in this blog.

Don Moreland's recording have relatively little in common with his daughter's recordings, but their is a fairly wide variety here, from standard pre-rock-era pop music to an almost song-poem like segment, to parodies of singing commercials, meant to sell the talents of the singers.

I have learned from his family that Don Moreland worked in the last days of Vaudeville, and played guitar and sang in a group, The Three Oxford Boys, after being in the Navy, and that this group appears in the film "DuBarry Was a Lady" (1943). Around that same time, Don and his wife had a daughter, and eventually moved to southern Wisconsin. This was followed by a move to Rolling Meadows, IL, where he became involved in Chicago area radio, nightclubs and advertising. Everything heard here was recorded during the 1950's, after Don's career in Chicago began."

Shrimpenstein

I'm currently working on a piece in time for Halloween about a guy named Gene Moss. Moss was involved in all kinds of cool things like Roger Ramjet, a record called Dracula's Greatest Hits, and the late sixties L.A. based television show, Shrimpenstein. I was going to save the clip for the article, but it's too good to sit on ... and I have nothing else to post this week. Here it is.

18. Mademoiselle (5:15)

Fans of the 2003 365 Days Project may remember a charming song called "Cupcakes" sung by Miss Terri "Cup Cake" O'Mason. Miss O'Mason was a burlesque performer who signed a contract in 1960 with Fax Records to record for their "Stag Party Special" series of LPs. And where "Cupcakes" (from Stag Party Special Number 2) is a mere taste of her unique talents, here's a full on dessert; "Stag Party Special Number 4; 'Back for Seconds' ". The back cover proclaims, "She's back again, brighter, better, more daringly naughty than before." And from the sound of it, drunker as well.

This is an audio experience soaked in gin and smelling of smoke and Old Spice. Terri sings bawdy songs, recites bawdy limericks and tosses off bawdy words like "made", "piece", "tail" and "fairy". Plus she mentions The Russians and The Kinsey Report, so you know it's timely.

A shower may not actually wash away the sticky feeling one has after listening to this entire LP, but it helps.

Why They Hate Us

Just stumbled across the whytheyhateus flickr group. It could definitely use some curating... There are way too many pictures of George Bush and various conservative pundits but there are a few good finds in there.

The next song is by Oneida! 1-2-3-4...

From bumming rides to 924 Gilman St in my formative years, to later crowding inside of poorly-ventilated basements and riding the subway out to warehouses in the nether reaches of NYC's post-apocalyptic industrial zones, I like to go forth and rock.

Checking out live music shows is a favorite past-time of mine, but I must admit that I've become a tad jaded and grumpy in recent years. Back when I was green, I would happily attend 2 or 3 shows in one week featuring the same band, arriving at each performance with equal amounts of enthusiasm and reverence. Not so these days, my friends. Present-day, cranky, show-going Liz can't be motivated to see the same band perform more than once a year now, and depending on the band, far less often than that.

Although this wave of crabby malaise has nearly overtaken my once-earnest sensibilities, there are still a few remaining bands that I cannot resist seeing over and over again because their live shows are so enjoyable. Enter Oneida, a band that has received a healthy dose of loving from WFMU throughout their 10-year existence. Most recently, their 2006 album "Happy New Year" (Jagjaguwar) was so fantastic that it climbed to the highest altitudes of our Heavy Airplay list. Here's a tune from that record:

Oneida - Up With People (MP3)

At an Oneida show, you'll laugh, you'll dance, you'll sweat, you'll rock out, you'll wonder how the hell Bobby Matador can pound away at that ratty organ with such intensity and not bleed from his fingertips, and then you'll want it all over again.

Partake in this ritual with us by checking out Oneida live this Saturday, October 13, at WFMU's Free Music Series concert at Southpaw in Brooklyn. Other high-flying acts on the bill include Alan Vega, Simply Saucer, and Old Time Relijun. Southpaw is located at 125 5th Ave in Park Slope, Brooklyn (18+ venue), the doors open at 8pm, and the show is FREE (first come, first served). See you there!

365 Days #285 - Peter Haas and "Bugs" Bower / The Cricketones Chorus & Orchestra - The Jungle Book Adventures of Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli (mp3s)

MP3:
Running Free (Mowgli's Theme) (1:56)
For a Friend (3:15)

"Running Free" is a theme for Mowgli from an original kiddie-record adaptation of Kipling's Jungle Book. The lyrics, by Peter Haas, are okay if a bit uninspired, but the music by "Bugs" Bower works a treat; it's unexpectedly lovely and haunting. The B-side, "For a Friend," is more what you might expect from this sort of thing, but it's fun; I particularly enjoyed the occasional interjections of "dope-dee-doh!" (So I'm simple sometimes. So sue me.)

The credits for this are a bit convoluted. The single is on the Cricket label (an imprint of Pickwick), and credits "The Cricketones Chorus & Orchestra" as the performers. Like Peter Pan's "Caroleers," however, this seems to be an in-house name subject to change per marketing whims. These songs were originally released as part of a full LP on the Happy Time Records label (another imprint of Pickwick), which credits the performers as "The Ron Marshall Voices" on the label and as "The Happy Time Chorus and Orchestra" on the cover, and credits Haas and Bower, who apparently collaborated on a lot of these adaptations for Happy Time sometime in the 1960s.

If anybody's interested, somebody's selling a copy of the LP on ebay right now for $12.99 (which is the only reason I know the LP exists).
