CBGB OMFUG OGS

I've no idea what compilation or boxed set these might be from but any of you Television type folks (the band, not an actual television) might find them as interesting as I do. I'm not someone who coddles artists. If I really dig a record and then a follow up comes out that isn't quite as good, the band is going to have to convince me to go any further. Television did not. Marquee Moon was a great debut LP. Nothing that they did after that really interested me. One and done amigos, you never did convince me to go back. But, alternate versions from the same sessions? I can dig it, especially since these seem to be a bit more raw than the album versions. If you're into Television you'll dig 'em. If you're not, well, take 'em for a spin. The guitar interplay is the draw here.

LOCK DOWN THEATER NIGHT 47

I know there was a Johnny Thunders doc posted not too long ago so I had second thoughts about posting this one. The thing is, I was sucked in. It's a mix of interviews and old footage.and is far more engrossing. So I'm cutting out to finish watching it.

THE FLASH FREE BRIGADE ARRIVES

Have you read any of those 33 1/3 books? They're short books, roughly 150-200 pages, each on a particular LP. Some of them are good, some are relatively lame. The best ones give you a little backstory on the bands prior to the recording of the LP and enough recording details to satisfy anyone left hungry after reading the liner notes on the actual product. [For those of you who only download music and have no interest in liner notes, kindly GTFO.]

I'm in the middle of one of the longer editions, this one on Television's Marquee Moon LP. So far it's pretty good and I'm kind of anxious to see how it develops. I'm halfway through it and Richard Hell has just left the band, replaced by Fred Smith, who was nicked from Blondie. In comes the Tom Verlaine vs Richard Hell squabbling through the press. It hit me how gossipy music journalism was. Maybe it's still like that. I don't know. I don't keep up. That might be part of the reason.

So, I went looking for a clip of Television playing when Hell was still in the band, and it surprised me how easy it was. Seriously, just a few years ago even if there was a search engine good enough to verify that clips even existed, there wasn't nearly as much stuff online. And most of the stuff that is online now is uploaded by fans and collectors, and it's making a mint for Google, YouTube, and Blogger. And Wordpress, and Tumblr, and Instagram, you get the idea. Those fat cats are laughing all the way to the bank.  That's another reason I'm starting to sour on this whole online world. Shit, a crappy fanzine would probably have more readers than a blog like this one anyway. Hmmmm.

Where was I? Oh yeah, the Television clip. The link is are down there along with an early Richard Hell and the Voidoids clip. The Television video is of a rehearsal in Terry Ork's loft in 1974. The Hell video is live at CBGBs in 1977 and is slightly better quality, but that doesn't mean much. I wanted to check the early Television more for the band dynamics that I'd just been reading about (score one for books) but it's just a rehearsal clip. No drama or stage posturing so who's to know? The mp3s down there are the first Television 45, "Little Johnny Jewel" and an alternate version of Richard Hell and the Voidoids' "Blank Generation". That was good to hear if for only to hear what Robert Quine's alternate solo would be like. Very cool if you haven't heard it.

GEEZ, HOW MANY LOFTS ARE THERE IN NY?

Been on a Richard Hell binge today. It was really more because I wanted to hear Robert Quine's playing. They were a pretty tight band but Quine kept it real.  A bunch of his solos start out almost like regular solos then go all over the place in a matter of seconds. Not because be couldn't play. On the contrary, he most definitely could play, and probably knew more about music than most of his CBGBs contemporaries. When he wigged out it was his interpretation of haywire jazz in a rock 'n' roll setting. I would love to have seen how he developed as years went on, but he OD'd in 2004 after the death of his wife. A big loss.

As long as we're on a Richard Hell tack, I thought I'd post the cover of the first issue of Substitute, a fanzine I co-edited with my long time friend Jacqui Ramirez. That's Richard Hell on the cover. To give you an idea of how things worked back then, the photo was taken by Roberta Bayley, a photographer friend of Hell's that Jacqui had contacted to ask if she had a photo we could use. Not only did Bayley send the photo, but she asked for nothing in return other than a photo credit. Today her photos are famous for documenting the New York punk scene in its embryonic state. She took the cover photo of the first Ramones LP, so, yeah, she was there.

The fanzine came out in the pre-internet days. The interview that Jacqui did with Hell was done by mail. The questions were mailed from California and the answers were mailed back from New York. Hand written. Try that today. Just to get answers to questions took a couple weeks. Patience. Instagrammers take heed.

There is one oddball down there. A song by the Victors that the Probe posted, jokingly (I think) referring to it as "(Richard Hell's first record?)". It does sound a lot like a Richard Hell song, particularly the vocals and phrasing. I don't care if it is or not, I've come this far, I might as well like it.

SLY AND WHO?

If you were going to press me, I don't know if I could properly tell you why I like ESG. Quite honestly, part of the reason is that if you described them on paper, I'd probably not have the slightest interest. Wait. Nevermind. That's how I first heard of them, on paper, pre-pixel paper, an issue of New York Rocker to be exact, way back in the day. I bought their first EP on the strength of a review and didn't exactly go apeshit over it, but over the years I've returned to it, and subsequent ESG records, over and over again because when you want to hear something like ESG, you're not going to find it anywhere else. I wish I could remember what the review said because if I did, I could paraphrase it, but instead all I can come up with is that "nothing sounds like ESG". Pfft.

The best description might be stripped down funk, in the way Sly and Robbie playing together without any additional instruments is stripped down reggae. I saw that once, at a Black Uhuru show, everyone left the stage one by one until it was just the two of them. People were still dancing. Then Sly Dunbar left and it was just Robbie Shakespeare. Musically naked. Bass bones. And people were still dancing. I can see where this is going.

GIVE THE DUDE HIS DUE

The Testors are one of those bands that you should be familiar with, but I can almost be guarantee that most of you aren't. Beginning in 1975 and lasting through 1981, they played the same New York clubs that spawned Patti Smith, the Ramones, the Talking Heads, you know, the NYC A-list. Well, the Testors weren't on the A-list for whatever reason, hence the obscurity.

If you doubt the importance of the Testors, consider the lead singer/guitarist Sonny Vincent's post-Testors alliances. He followed the Testors with a series of other bands that included Bob Stinson (Replacements), Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys), Greg Norton (Hüsker Dü), Moe Tucker and Sterling Morrison (Velvet Underground), Captain Sensible (Damned), Scott Asheton (Stooges) Wayne Kramer (MC5), members of Rocket From the Crypt, and in his latest outfit, Sonny Vincent and Spite, Steve Mackay (Stooges), Rat Scabies (the Damned), and Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols). That's some CV. Took up a whole damn paragraph.

I'm sticking with the Testors stuff for now, but if you dig this stuff, just go to YouTube and search Sonny Vincent. There's tons of stuff representing most of the bands he was in, though most are audio only. I highly recommend the stuff with Spite. Dude still has it.

HOWDY OLD FRIEND

Everybody has those records that they can't objectively evaluate because they have personal associations entwined with the music. That happens to me all the time. Is it good? What would it be like to hear it now, for the first time? Shit, I can't answer that. This wasn't old music when I heard it. And all that crap you listen to was years in the future. Where were we? The Heartbreakers' debut LP,  L.A.M.F., has been a friend for many years. There are many good associations with that one, long lasting friendships and reoccurring interactions. Chicken Soup Rock.

So, I can't be objective. I dig the originally released version. The one I ran across tonight was the "Lost '77 mixes". I can tell the difference a little, but I don't care. It's just good to hear them again. It's not just music on this one. It's like a club.

NO SURF

Guess who else did "B-Gas Rickshaw"? The Raybeats, everyone's favorite instrumental no wave supergroup; part Eight Eyed Spy, part Contortions, a brand of severely twisted surf music, heavy on periodically reverb-enhanced guitar, bass bordering on minimalist funk, Farfisa and sax. Some really tweaked shit. Whammy bar doing overtime. Dig "Tight Turn". So entirely badass. Their whole debut LP is like that. Whatever you want to call it, I'm buying in.

Raybeats, the shit. 1980

SAME AS THE OLD BOSS

Well, oh well, lookie here. Another band reuniting. Fuck, this is getting old. I can't say I wouldn't do it, but it does sometimes reek of alternative motives. It could really be trying to pick up on unfinished business, "It felt like all the years just melted away" Really? Could happen, just as easy as it could be for the money or trying to reclaim some former glory. If it's for the latter you better make sure that you don't show up at the reunion looking like the out of shape burned out former football star. No one stays big man on campus forever.

I take reunions with a grain of salt, low expectations and all that jazz. So, no, I didn't run down the new Boss Hog LP. If it's good, it'll find me. I did go looking for a few samples of the new stuff, but I got totally sidetracked by a live set from 2008 and another live studio thing from last year. I'll move on to the new thing, most likely when it's no longer new.

THE CONFOUNDING FATHER

Well I'll be damned, guess who's got new product out? James Chance and his latest version of the Contortions. It's been thirty years since his last studio LP and he doesn't seem to have lost a step. To the contrary, it seems like his age finally caught up with his vision. I'm digging this one, which is the only thing I've heard so far. If you're not familiar with him, there's some of his older stuff with the original Contortions at the bottom.

VIVA LA DIFFÉRENCE

I don't listen to James Chance that often, despite having a chunk of his Contortions stuff and the stuff he did with James White and the Blacks. But I dig his music, his perseverance, his whole thing. You just have to pay attention when you listen to his stuff; it's hard to let it roll without notice, and I rarely have time for that. You can't bop or groove, or put the headphones on and trip out to spacey sounds or a badass production. It's hard to go about your business and imagine it as some sort of soundtrack to what you're doing, unless what you're doing happens to be smashing shit up. Some of you know that about him, and that he was a big part of the whole No Wave thing. Let me set the scene for the uninitiated. It's 1978, you're totally sucked in by punk rock and other adventurous music, basically anyone screwing with things. You think that you're relatively immune to abrasive type stuff. Then you hear about some compilation that Brian Eno's putting together with some fringe NYC bands. Okay, you say, I'll bite. The first band on the album is the Contortions. A few seconds into it, you wonder just what it is you're listening to. You are challenged. Just what the hell is this? It's not punk rock, it's not funk, it's not jazz. It's, it's...just what the fuck is going on here?

I just ran into an fairly recent interview with Chance. If you're into his stuff, you'll dig it. If he's new to you, check the link to the No New York compilation below, listen to the Contortion cuts. Go hit Wiki or something. Catch up for crying out loud.

THE GUY IN BACK HAS THE SCISSORS

Here's a nice one-two, if you're you're at all into Johnny Thunders, the Heartbreakers, or Richard Hell. It's the original Heartbreakers line up, when Richard Hell was still in the band. The clip linked below is the only one I remember seeing of them from that early on, around '75-'76. Johnny Thunders still had his Dolls rats nest thing going on  There's also a link to some early demos of the Heartbreakers with Hell, including songs that ended up on Hell's debut album. If you're familiar with all of these guys, you'll want to hassle with the download; if nothing more than to hear "Love Comes In Spurts" and "Blank Generation" with Thunders playing guitar. Juxtapose that with the versions by Hell and the Voidoids' versions, with Robert Quine on guitar. You be the judge. Or don't. It's kind of apples and oranges.

SWEATIN' TO THE OLDIES

I forget when the first Suicide LP came out, it was around 1977 or '78. Geez, what a whopper. It might sound corny or self indulgent in parts now, and some of Alan Vega's guttural yelps almost comical, but make no mistake, this shit was radical when it came out. And a little creepy. Industrial music had not really been identified as such yet. You didn't really know what to call it. I mean, what the fuck do you do with this?

COOL JERK

I was in the mood for jerky abrasive dissonant jazz funk, and I knew just who to turn to, good ol' James Chance. The first Contortions cut I came across, "Design to Kill", was exactly what I was craving. I'm telling you, it hit the spot. I'm just gonna wallow in it.

THREE GUYS WALK OUT OF A BAR

It's the end of an era. The Heartbreakers are now officially dead. After Billy Rath's recent passing, three out of the four members are physically dead, and Walter Lure, if Wikipedia is to be believed, is a stockbroker on Wall Street. I suppose that could be bullshit, but suppose it's true. Yeah. Extrapolate: What if he later repented, and burned his tie? He would still be an ex-stockbroker. And even though he still plays music with his band the Waldos, any band with a stockbroker among its ranks might as well be a Dave Matthews cover band. I've got nothing against Lure, or stockbrokers per se, I'm just stating facts. Let's just get this Occam's razor shit out of the way. Stock brokers are not rock 'n' roll. Ex-stockbrokers are not rock 'n' roll. The Hearbreakers are rock 'n' roll.

THE JAM WAS AWESOME

Boy, oh boy, this here was about as close to a supergroup as you could get in the early nineties, especially if your music of choice was guitar driven and NY-centric.  Thurston Moore and Steve Shelly from Sonic Youth, a post-Voidoids Richard Hell and Gumball's Don Fleming, all together as Dim Stars.  They released three EPs (which were later compiled as an LP), and that was it.  Never played live, just pfffft! But what a racket it was. Fueled quite a few pre-bar hopping meet ups here at HQ.

Here's one song, a cover of TRex's "Rip Off" which will give you some sort of idea what these guys sounded like, which is noisy and sloppy. The real draw here though is the five song self titled EP. The first four songs are pretty straight forward, which is to say hot shit jams.  But the bonus is the untitled cut (included in the download as "You Gotta Lose" parts 2, 3 and 4). It's dissonant free style fucking around, from people who know a thing or two about dissonant free style fucking around. To further sweeten the pot, it was ripped from a scratchy copy of the record, which is, of course, the perfect way to hear it. A point of interest for you full on NY nineties type people is that it might include Robert Quine, another ex-Voidoid, because he was on some of the Dim Star sessions as well (this particular session included "You Gotta Lose" which was originally a Richard Hell and the Voidoids song). For the total listening experience, I'd recommend cheap beer and smokes, and the din of about a dozen of your barfly friends.

THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF MESSY HAIR

Of the whole mid-70's New York music scene there's probably no more intriguing pairing than that of Richard Hell and Johnny Thunders in the original Heartbreakers. Though no official recordings of the band with both of them exist (that I'm aware of anyway) there is a bootleg of a demo that they did in 1975. While the Thunders penned songs (with him singing) sound like a low-fi version of the later Hell-less Heartbreakers, there's a few cuts that Hell sings that are worth hearing, particularly if you are a Richard Hell fiend. As with most rock n' roll, it's all about the geetar. On Hell's major label debut, Blank Generation, the guitar duties are handled by Robert Quine, an excellent guitarist, but in a completely different universe than Thunders. Quine was a serious musician and attended the Berklee College of Music. Thunders was schooled on smack and rock n' roll. A textbook case of apples & oranges. To hear Hell singing "Blank Generation" and "Love Comes in Spurts". with Thunders playing is as close to a "what could have been" revelation as there is, at least in the realm of the embryonic NY punk scene.

Program Notes:
For those not skilled with zips and full LP mp3's, I started the NY gluttony below with a few mp3s from the later Heartbreakers (without Richard Hell) and a few of Richard Hell and the Voidoids (including the later versions of "Blank Generation" and "Love Comes in Spurts" with Quine). Then comes the more challenging special interest stuff. The Heartbreakers demo is a full LP rip, and may take a little more know-how to download than a single mp3, but if I can figure it out, you can. (Dig around, it's pretty intuitive.) Same goes for the rest of them. Next up is an albums worth of the later live Heartbreakers (without Hell) from 76-77. Following that, a five song 1973 Neon Boys EP, that has Hell and a pre-Television Tom Verlaine. The Television "Poor Circulation" LP is live stuff, demos and rehearsal tapes from 73-75, again with Hell and Verlaine, this time with Richard Lloyd. If, by now, you're able to figure out how these things are to download, there's a shitload of Hell and Television downloads of rare live stuff at Know Your Conjurer's Richard Hell & Television Mega-Post.
