Moby Grape triple-guitar "Omaha" -  Skip Spence, Jerry Miller, Peter Lewis - video quality is sub-par but damn, music starts 1:05--

Music Shit / Re: Sonic Youth at CBGB's: 06-23-1988 & 06-24-1988

teenage Judge Harsh was at one of these shows, also a preceding gig at Maxwell's; whichever CBs gig had... Borbetomagus & B.A.L.L. opening? Or maybe Galaxie 500 & Kramer was doing sound for? I can't take time to research it now but both shows were pretty good or better (& whenever it was I saw Galaxie 500, they were boring as fuck, first two studio lps much stronger), studio DAYDREAM blew 'em away, however. One of the CBs gigs was recorded for WBAI- I think pre-recorded but maybe live broadcast-- there were flyers around noting this-- in which I'd have been at the June 23 gig & listened June 24? Some SY archivist knows.

Except for Lee's "Mote" & seeing big ass versions of the Pettibon cover in the window of W 4th St Tower Records, GOO was a big disappointment.

EVOL was cool at the time but in retrospect-- and especially compared to the subequent tour-- it's somewhat mediocre; Steve Shelley wasn't kicking their ass hard enough yet though he soon would.

Keiji Haino - A Challenge to Fate

Keiji Haino is a big blues fan. Some years ago, when I was in Tokyo, he invited me to his home, and it's filled with records. I've never seen someone have so many records like he has. He is a really fanatical collector. The walls are covered with record sleeves. He has a massive collection of blues. It's all over the place. He listens to a lot of classical and a lot of ethnic, traditional music from around the world, all kinds of stuff. This was the first album I heard from him, A Challenge To Fate. On the first track, he's only clunking his walking stick and screaming. I used to live in Barcelona, and I was listening to this track very loudly one night, and the neighbors called the police because they thought someone was getting killed in my apartment. Since I bought this album, I've been collecting his releases. I have about 70 at the moment. There's a couple of them I still don't have; he has released a lot. I like many things that he does. He has been doing stuff with only some tone generators, very minimal...

... There's something in his approach where he can often make the simplest things work. He has one whole album where the only thing he plays is a snare drum and nothing else. It's about one hour of playing with the snare, but it works for me.

FYI, there's a transcription error wrt ("obscene") poet "Leonard Candel"; should read Lenore Kandel (1932-2009). This is the chapbook that caused the trouble; very interesting woman, sorta tragic later life because of bad 1970 motorcycle accident.

I was trying to figure this one out in editing (I swear) and my futile web searches giving no results (and my own lack of knowledge regarding the subject) made me figure it was too obscure for the internet - which I should have known wasn't true. Thanks for the correction and I apologize for the error -

oh my pleasure; didn't mean to abrubt above, thanks for posting, it was good to see Byron riffing at length on  poetry; makes an interesting complement to the book reviews he and others did back in the Forced Exosure days. The Beat, Bukowski and Richrd Meltzer elements were already there. Thanks for posting. Lenoke Kandel is a bit obscure though Grove Press came to the rescue with the 1967 "Word Alcemy" after "The Love Book" trouble. Here's a good overview of her work with examples of her work:

Speaking of Meltzer and poetry, some hero uploaded the "Ryhmes With Seltzer" VHS tape I didn't even know existed before, looks like it begins with a "Gulcher"-reissue related reading c. 1990:

Music Shit / Re: Peter Laughner Box Set?

« on: January 06, 2017, 10:28:43 AM »

that peter laughner shit was probably the biggest musical disappointment of my 20s.. Spent so long looking for peter laughner recordings in my cultural backwater of a town....and then finally i track it down.. and it......sucked

good voice. boring ass songs.

A literal handful or less of good songs in Reed / Dylan ass-suck vein, a whole lotta mythmaking elsewhere and for live / dead CLE most people are far better off revisiting, say, D.A. Levy (or Screamin' Jay or Albert Ayler or that "Sweet Sister Ray" boot or...) At the time, the Forced Exposure "Cinderella Backstreet" was an interesting single, sounds pretty "felt" in a style not then widely popular in the underground but the flip Velvets cover, and all of Laughner's other lame covers... ooooh, he's playing 'noisy' guitar on "Calvary Cross," crazy! Like Earl Hooker, Jeff Beck, Sonny Sharrock and a jillion others (inc. Richard Thompson) never existed.

Burroughs Jr. "Speed" kills "Amphetamine" in every possible way except ersatz 'rock anthem' also.

and the funniest post of 2016 goes to...

Ed Kuepper is a weird genius and I love how he produced nothing of worth post-Saints until he started playing with Cave, and their collaboration has been so sick

Wink

Hah, I had to read that twice to figure you were kidding. Ed's a giant in a variety of modes, even the electronic / instrumental soundscape records are pretty interesting.

One of the small mysteries of pre-"grunge" (yuk yuk) major label "rock" is how Ed's third solo album, "Everybody Got To"  came to be released on Capitol. Not my photo but I can't find better, check the $1 bin and take your own:



A small step down from "Electrical Storm" and "Rooms of the Magnificent"

Not just prog but I was stunned to discover this youtube channel, Funked Up East, which is entirely devoted to an insane collection of Soviet / former Eastern Bloc music '60s-'80s, of varying degrees of prog-ness:

https://www.youtube.com/user/mishapanfilov/videos?sort=dd&shelf_id=1&view=0

Tons of shit to explore, this grabbed me right off:

Yuri Morozov - The Inexplicable (FULL ALBUM, rare soviet electronic prog, USSR, 1978)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sfd6PSwEAU

From appearances, this looked "Waka Jawaka"-era Zappa-ish but it's also weirder:

Arsenal - Bolero (soviet prog / psych jazz-funk, 1979, Russia, USSR)

7. David usually makes himself available in the venue after a show. He will sign autographs and sit there while you take a selfie with him. Don't ask him questions - he won't answer and will likely be so annoyed he makes a polite excuse and moves somewhere else. He is off-duty after a show. Also be aware that David does not like the frequencies of the human voice and has stopped bothering to listen in that range. Best policy is to smile, move slowly and offer him a banana.

from a seller in Ireland, presumably a Muslimgauze fan.

Seller's Shipping Information
buyer pays shipping.
flat rates worldwide as follows:

?4 to ship a cd
?4 for a 7"
?8.50 for an lp

additional items sometimes will have reduced combined total shipping cost. Depends if you are buying some expensive lps or ?0.10p 12's.... message me before you order for combined orders please. I can no longer ship to Israel. Nothing personal to Israel citizens, just solidarity with Palestine.
