MEANWHILE AT THE BELT BUCKLE PAGENT

Just cruisin' the old posts at Probe Is Turning-On the People and landed on one with three versions of "Ramblin' Rose", the original by Ted Taylor, a cover by Jerry Lee Lewis, and the version that most people know by the MC5. I'm posting them again because it's been three years since MC5 had an appearance here. Plus, as a reminder to dig through the old posts at sites you go to regularly because, dare I say it, poking through old posts is the new thrift store crate digging. Sad but true. But, hey, when the selector is Phil Milstein (aka the Probe) and there are over 600 posts dating back to 2006, there's ample shit to merit a dive.

TWO FROM THEM

Here's a couple from the Bo-Keys. Don't know the Bo-Keys? They were a Memphis band with a Memphis sound, for good reason. The band included session players from both Stax and Hi Records including, until his death in 2012, Charles "Skip" Pitts, who was the guitarist on Isaac Hayes's "Shaft", Rufus Thomas's "The Breakdown" and the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing". Check "Work That Sucker". That's from 2011 and although one would think that at that late date, the wah-wah guitar was a retro thing, someone trying to give it the slinky sound from back in the day, it is not. It is Pitts, who actually was the guitar playing the slinky sound back in the day. Check "Jack and Ginger", that one's a dead ringer for Booker T and the MGs.

I've no idea how long the Bo-Keys soldiered on after Pitts's  death. They seem to have dropped off the map around 2017. Their web site hasn't been updated in years. Oh well, dig these.

YOUR RESUME LOOKS VERY GOOD MR. GAINES.

Looking back at an old post with Mickey Baker stuff I noticed that he played on Roy Gaines's "Worried 'bout You Baby". This is curious because Baker plays guitar and Gaines's nickname was "Mr. Guitar". If someone was such a hotshot that they adopted a moniker like "Mr. Guitar", you'd think that they'd be featured on guitar on their own records. Especially if they played behind T-Bone Walker on live dates and on recordings by Bobby Bland, Junior Parker, Big Mama Thornton, Roy Milton, and Chuck Willis. But guess what? Baker shreds his ass. Listen to the first two below. Damn good rhythm and blues with solid modest guitar. That's Gaines. Then listen to the guitar on "Worried 'bout You Baby". That's Baker. There's good and then there's great.

HIP HOP DISTRACTION NIGHT SPECIAL

I haven't seen this yet, Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap, a documentary directed by Ice-T. I'm not big on Ice-T but after looking at the people taking part in this documentary, I'm putting it in my queue for future viewing. It has it's share of early influential rappers: Afrika Bambaataa, Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D, Common, Doug Fresh, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Krs-One, Snoop Dogg, and Run-DMC among others. The inclusion of Afrika Bambaataa, Dr. Dre and Chuck D. Pretty much legitimizes it for me. To be transparent here, my problem with Ice T is the same problem I have with L.L.Cool J, namely them taking their notoriety from music into careers on TV. That sort of thing, in my opinion, negates any street cred that they had.

Per usual, I'll pad this shit. Here's a good one: A whole bunch of radio shows dating back to 1983. Soup to nuts DJ-wise, from Afrika Bambaataa to Dr. Dre. The radio shows are searchable by name or year. On the site they're streaming, but there's a not-so-intuitive link you can click on to go to Internet Archive and download them.

HOWDY NEIGHBOR

I had lunch with my friend Doug today, fish and chips at the cafe on the pier. Fucking awesome. It was kind of pricey but it was so much food, Three big ass pieces of fish, tons of fries, coleslaw and one jalapeno popper. You could easily make two meals. Anyway, as I was at a loss for an idea of what to post, I thought I'd post Doug's old band the Xterminators. again. That's him in the red shirt. Back then he went by DT. It's been a few years since I posted these so no bellyaching.

WAY LATE TO THIS PARTY

It seems to me that I'd heard somewhere that Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo covered the entire Talking Heads Remain In Light album. I finally heard one of the cuts last night, "Crosseyed and Painless". Wow. It's a great take and interesting since it's from the period when Talking Heads were heavily influenced by afrobeat and Fela Kuti, both from Nigeria which is right next door to Benin.

I ran into the song on mix from an old post at Black Squirrel Amusement. The mix is only streaming but it's good, what I've heard anyway.  It also has John Lurie. Ry Cooder, Eli "Paperboy" Reed, War, Laura Nyro, John Coltrane, Bettye LaVette and a heap of others I don't know. Just enough familiar names with unfamiliar songs and complete unknowns to evaluate on musical merit alone. My kind of mix.

STONES RELATED DISTRACTION SPECIAL

There was a random blip on a newsfeed, I only saw it once but I actually remembered to follow up to get the skinny. It's newly found footage of the Altamont Speedway concert. It's essentially home movie quality but by someone with a relatively steady hand. Unfortunately there's no sound. The footage, or what footage I've seen shows Santana and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, two bands that don't appear in the film Gimme Shelter. If you're not familiar with that film, it's a documentary about the Stones U.S. tour in 1969 culminating with the concert at Altamont, which the Stones headlined. At the concert an attendee, Meredith Hunter, was brutally beaten and killed by members of the Hells Angels who were acting, supposedly, as security.

The newly discovered footage is interesting to see, more interesting when you consider that it was uploaded by the United States Library of Congress. The film (actually found on two r eels) was acquired as a donation from a film archivist who bought in bulk. It was traced back to a lot of random films that had been left to be developed at a San Francisco lab but never picked up. The identity of the filmmaker is not known, but the hunt is on and there's a thing at the Washington Post about it. This is all fine and dandy but it lead to a black hole. A looooong article in a follow-up piece published in Rolling Stone in January 1970 just weeks after the incident. It starts with with first hand eye witness accounts. It was much worse than I knew. Anyway, I just did a random search and there's tons of shit out there so I'm leaving it for another night.



I thought I'd be able to find the film Gimme Shelter at YouTube. It was there all right, as a pay to play. But I did happen by Colt Clark and the Quarantine Kids. If you're not familiar with them you're in for a treat. Clark and his kids learn a new song in the morning and then film a performance that night. Practically every day, and they do a remarkable job. The two sons are tight way beyond their years. The daughter is a crack up, at that age where being a ham is to be adorable. I've seen several of their videos before and "Gimme Shelter" popped up. I was curious to see how Clark would have made the lyrics a little more kid friendly. He did, and he did a seamless job. Then I checked their version of "She Said She Said". Holy shit, that kid drummer is good, and his brother is playing really complicated bass-lines. The arrangements really make the most of a four piece and the playing is great regardless of age. Mark my word, post-covid, there will be a coming out of sorts. When they can safely fly to talk shows, they'll be huge.

DIFFERENT CHURCH

Here's one I wouldn't have thought to look for. I'm not sure how many of you know the 1964 surf movie Endless Summer. It was the best known film by Bruce Brown, his sixth surf movie but the only one to be released to regular theaters (his earlier films were shown in rented halls and auditoriums). It was a huge film and part of the reason for the first big surf craze. (Booo!) A few years later he did a motorcycle flick, On Any Sunday (1971), a documentary on the different types of motorcycle racing and assorted cycle oriented pastimes.

Brown had great soundtracks to at least three of his films prior to On Any Sunday. Two early films, Slippery When Wet (1958) and Barefoot Adventure (1960), had soundtracks by sax man Bud Shank, a West Coast jazz guy. Endless Summer had a soundtrack by the Sandals, an instrumental band that wasn't really in the surf scene but provided some nice mellow vibe type surf-lite tunes. Think cocktails on the patio rather than a full-on keg party, the latter being more typical of a party that surfers would actually attend.

The soundtrack to On Any Sunday is a whole different monster. Credited to Dominic Frontiere, the band consisted of studio musicians including at least two members of the Wrecking Crew, Tommy Tedesco and Carol Kaye. What type of music is it? Shit, it's a hodge podge of classic wah-wah inflected early seventies guitar with fuzz, horns, killer drums and funky bass. If you know the genre library music (anonymous jams licensed for background music) that's what these remind me of. Here's just a couple, but head to Melting Pot for the story of how the host was turned onto the record, what other record it sounds like and the big role Carol Kaye plays. It's a really good post.

THE WAY WE WERE

My sister lives downtown near the ballpark. The perk of that location is hearing strains of Paul McCartney singing live drifting in your window from blocks away. The non-perk is tonight. Monster trucks. That culture is totally alien to me, which is why I kind of like it. Like mullets, if it gets them off, more power to 'em. The same goes for mud runs, tractor pulls and demolition derby. Not my thing but if they raise a freak flag, whatever.

So my sister mentioning the monster trucks sent me to look for videos of that ilk to reaffirm the "I can't believe that people get off on this shit" cultural voyeurism. Then I remembered I'd posted a funny video of a demolition derby a while back, all the cars were pulling trailers. I found it and it's fucking hilarious. The video was on a post from 2016 that had some Sonic Youth that I hadn't heard in a while. Click. Talk about a time warp! Sonic Youth was part of the playlist, the soundtrack of my life, but only for a few years, maybe five. "Erik's Trip" and "Dirty Boots" were both in that era, in that soundtrack. Hearing them again set me right back with the friends I used to hang with. Most of them have moved away, it just ain't the same. Like Kim and Thurston. Sniff, sniff.

HERE'S YOUR L.A. PUNK STARTER KIT

The bulk of what is below was posted seven years ago. I was reminded of it after seeing a thing about a new photo book by Melanie Nissen, a photographer that took a shitload of iconic photos in the early days of the L.A. punk scene, many appearing in Slash magazine. So, yeah, I remembered that I'd linked to a pdf with all of the issues of Slash so that's down there with links to some records from that period and that scene. One last thing, if you were around that scene back then and wondered where Claude Bessy picked his pen name of Kickboy Face from, there's a link to Prince Jazzbo's "Kickboy Face". So here's the old blab.:

Every scene has it's own bands, and back in the days of fanzines, every scene usually had it's own fanzine that everybody read. In the pre-internet days, that's how groups of miscreants coalesced. Old school social media. Some scenes had several fanzines, all with different attitudes, writing styles and levels of slickness. Los Angeles had a bunch and the two biggees were Flipside and Slash. In the early days, the most popular was definitely Slash, a tabloid edited by the late Claude "Kickboy Face" Bessy, a transplanted Frenchman with penchant for spot on shit stirring rants. He was the heart and soul of Slash and his editorials alone were worth picking up the zine.

Claude Bessy aka Kickboy Face, rants,.

Other writers included Chris Desjardins (lead singer of the Flesheaters) and a pre-Gun Club Jeffery Lee Pierce (writing largely reggae reviews under the name Chatty Chatty Mouth). Among contributing artists were Gary Panter (who would end up designing the set for Pee Wee's Playhouse and still paints today) and brilliant collage artist Lou Beach. The magazine was (I think) designed by co-publisher Steve Samiof, and defined the L.A. brand of cut and paste. The other co-publisher, Melanie Nissen, one of several photographers, went beyond typical fan type band shots. There were so many other contributors that the magazine, taken as a whole, seemed at times like a collaborative effort by the entire scene.

If any of you aging Southern California punkers lost track of your tattered old copies of Slash, help is here. Circulation Zero just posted the complete 29 issue run, in pdf format. It's 600 mb, but a quick five minute download. This is as close to a complete overview of the Los Angeles punk scene from 1977-1980 as you're likely to find. The music below, hosted at Killed By Death, is by no means all of the L.A. bands of that era, and three weren't actually L.A. bands (but scene favorites regardless), but it's a damn good cross section. The copies of Slash, particularly the first dozen or so, along with the music below is about as close to being there, without the fog of time, as there is.

MASK UP AND GET THE SHOTS THEATER

Watching PBS News Hour last night, I was surprised by a seven minute segment on Kathleen Hanna. You know the pattern. I went and looked...blah, blah, blah. I ran into a documentary about her that I didn't know existed. (Yeah, hashtag: #outoftheloop.) So, here's a link to the doc, the segment from the news and a link to the Linda Lindas' video that's mentioned in the news report. If you're not familiar with Hanna, there's a handful of songs from her first band Bikini Kill.

THE GUY WITH THE GAPING PIE HOLE GETS IT

Hell, I'm not going to front. I was bugged a while back by a comment that someone left about Big Jay McNeely. They mentioned how they didn't care for his particularly honk-saturated method of playing. I didn't counter-comment at the time, figuring that it was a to each his own situation. That's bugged me, that I didn't set this character straight. Finally today I went looking for the comment but it must have been on a post about someone else but the comment itself about McNeely. Regardless, let me get this out of my system right now: McNeely's honking style is exactly what is great about him. If someone doesn't like honking sax, then they may as well write off half of early rock 'n' roll and a good sized chunk of early rhythm and blues. Not liking the honking sax of Jay McNeely is like not liking the feedback of Jimi Hendrix's guitar. Davie Allan without fuzz. Unthinkable.

HORSEMOUTH'S FAULT

The other day I was thinking about what to post, then I thought about a grab bag of my favorite songs of different genres. Not single absolute favorites because there's too many to narrow it down. Like, say, if I were to pick from rockabilly, it didn't have to be my favorite rockabilly song of all time. It just had to be a no-brainer, essential. So, I'm going through genres in my head. I got to reggae, of which you know has different eras and sub-genres. That would be a tough one. So, I thought, okay, just anything in the reggae vein, be it ska, rocksteady, lovers rock, roots, DJ, dub or just plain reggae. Bang. "Marcus Garvey" by Burning Spear immediately came to mind. The problem was that I've posted it before, several times. Well, today I ran into a video of the drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace relating how he had a falling out with Spear. It reminded me of the song again. So, fuggit, here's "Marcus Garvey" for the umpteenth time. You Burning Spear freaks that already know "Marcus Garvey" like the back of your hand will dig the Wallace thing. It's kinda gossipy, like TMZ Jamaica style. At least now I know what it was like to tussle with Burning Spear.

RANDOM PURCHASE TURNED ALL-TIME KEEPER

Back when I was about twenty years old I was driving back down from San Francisco with my brother. We stopped in Santa Cruz to stretch our legs and hunt for record stores. We found one that had a fairly decent stash of old reggae. Back then you wouldn't have considered it vintage, but they were early titles. I was just starting to get into reggae and, well, I didn't know shit. But the records that they had were on racks with multiple copies. Being cheap, roughly four or five bucks, I figured they were cut-outs. Not really knowing reggae, I bought about three or four titles, the ones with the funkiest album covers. One was Duke Reid Golden Hits. I had no clue who Duke Reid was, but check that cover (above). If you saw that in a stack of records you might have taken the chance as well. Unbeknownst to me, it would be my introduction to rocksteady.

For several  years I had no idea why it appeared to be a multi-artist compilation but was titled Duke Reid Golden Hits. None of the songs were by anyone named Duke Reid. I eventually found out that Duke Reid was the producer. Then everything fucking snowballed. Artists, sub-genres, producers, labels; I sucked it all up.  I'm still sucking it up. This is classic rocksteady, from the producer that dominated the rocksteady years (roughly '66-'68). I'm on my third copy of this one. An absolute classic. I just checked Discogs and there's over fifty used copies for sale, from various pressings. The ones on Treasure Isle (Reid's label) are the original, the others (on Trojan) were licensed. But if you don't want the vinyl there are multiple Duke Reid and Treasure Isle compilations out there on CD, cheap too.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE PUNK ROCK CRAP SHOOT

Remember what it was like when punk records started appearing in the 45 bins? Naw, probably not, because people who do remember are past the age of those who typically look at music blogs. Well, I'm here to tell you that when there were very few records in the newly instituted punk section, you took chances you wouldn't ordinarily take. That included buying a record on a label that you didn't know of by a band you didn't know existed just because it looked like a punk record. You know, the typical DIY slipshod sleeve, ridiculous band name and, sometimes, telling song titles. This is how you ended up with a bunch of one shot wonders (obviously not one hit wonders because there were no hits).

All of that was what ran through my head while "Night Train" by the Scrotum Poles played. Yes, Scrotum Poles. Per Killed By Death, the hosting blog ("not a record label") this qualifies as a "mandatory download". I'll not argue with someone who has a lot more punk obscurities than I have.

A few telling things about the back of the sleeve (above). Other than being lame, you'll note that, while they state "We love the [UK band] TV Personalities" they also have an address for their own fan club. The catalog # is Erect 1. Cute. Band members names: Burt Spurt, Sid "Bones" Gripple, Smeg Pole (on "vocals & singing") and Stripey Sleep. Look closely, there's more. So gloriously lame.

Here's a couple, there's three others at KBD, not quite as noisy but every bit as DIY.
