GET YOUR YA YA OUT


Fresh out of the Navy, Lee Dorsey became a prize fighter (light heavyweight, if you're wondering) in Portland in the early fifties. After hanging up the gloves, he moved to New Orleans, where he was born and had lived until he was ten. He worked as an auto mechanic, singing in clubs at night, until somewhere around 1960, when he met Allen Toussaint who was just getting his feet wet as an arranger. Toussaint was getting a record label off the ground and offered to record Dorsey, resulting in a hit single, "Ya Ya" in 1961. Shortly after recording a follow up, the label went under, and Dorsey went back to working on cars. A few years later, Toussaint went to Amy Records and brought Dorsey with him. They had another hit together, "Working in a Coal Mine" in 1966. Though that was the last big Dorsey hit, they continued working together off and on for years, often with the Meters as backing band, which would explain why Dorsey's music has endured. Holy shit, just think about that. Lee Dorsey, Allen Toussaint and the Meters. Could any combination be more New Orleans?

SCIENTISTOLOGY


You all know Scientist, right? For those of you who don't, he was the wunderkind protege of King Tubby, the man who pretty much invented dub around 1970. In the early seventies, Tubby was the man. Originally an engineer, Tubby had the know-how of the inner workings of equipment and their capabilities, so he tried things that hadn't been done before, namely fading instruments and vocal tracks in and out of mixes, and adding effects. It doesn't seem that radical now, but in Jamaica in the early seventies it was nothing short of mind blowing. Tubby's go-to second fiddle was, at the time, Prince Jammy. When Jammy couldn't make a Barrington Levy session, Scientist, who had been lurking around Tubby's studio, talked his way into what would end up being a career. Dude was still in his teens.


Scientist in the studio, November 2010

A few things that you old fart reggae fiends may not know about Scientist: He is still active. He now lives in L.A.; and one thing that makes sense but surprised me nonetheless, he's been known to use a laptop when mixing.

Here's just a few of his older things. If you're already familiar with his stuff, take a pass on the music and check out the interview linked below.

THE DOG ISSUE


I cannot trust anyone who straps their dog to the top of a car. I don't care if they think the dog likes it. Hell, your kid might find it fun being strapped to the roof of your car, but that doesn't make it safe. Anyone with that kind of skewed judgement doesn't get past the door. I wouldn't trust them to come back with the right brand of beer if they were making a beer run, let alone run the country.

PARTY WITH ME PUNKER


Back when I was a kid, Tom Jones was all over the place. He had hits on the radio, his own variety show, and stages littered with ladies panties. He was never cool. He was always cool. He didn't give a shit if he was cool, and that made him so. He wasn't my cup of tea, back then, or now, but you know what? I have to acknowledge his well crafted schtick.


Fu-huck yeah.

Back in the 90s I was hanging out at my Mom's house with a buddy of mine. Both of us were probably still a little buzzed from the night before, because everything we were watching on TV was hilarious. After watching the Three Stooges for a little bit, we flipped around and came across a Tom Jones concert that happened to be on. In the footage we watched, there they were, the de rigueur panties raining onto the stage. Jones picked one pair up, started wiping his sweat and, as he was got to his face, he said "Mmmm, these smell familiar." This sent us to the floor laughing.



A couple years ago, I was in the Las Vegas airport and I ran into a friend of mine from San Diego. When I first met Brian, he was in a punk band called the Furious Four. In ensuing years he would work different jobs, primarily as a bartender, and, for one Motorhead tour, as Lemmy's guitar tech (lots of antidotes there). When I ran into him in Vegas I asked where he was going. He said that he was there to see Tom Jones, and was in fact a Tom Jones freak. I was convinced he was putting me on, but he elaborated saying that he saw Tom Jones every time he came to Vegas and, when he had the dough, actually shelled out for the best seats in the house. At that point I was having even a harder time believing him. He rolled up his sleeve to show me a tattoo he had. In big bold cursive letters it said "What's New Pussycat?" I walked away thinking "go figure." Later it occurred to me how much it made sense. Tom Jones didn't give a shit, so why should he?

He's got a good voice. He doesn't give a shit. He's a lady killer. He sang with Raquel Welch, Janis Joplin and Chrissy Hynde. The kicker? He doesn't take himself too seriously.

These are for my sister GG, who's taste in music intersects with mine quite a bit. It's her birthday and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that her TJ fiending is what finally convinced me to listen more objectively, and not give a shit.

RIP UP YOUR TICKETS


As one of the first punk 45s out of L.A., the Weirdos "Destroy All Music," established the Weirdos as a band to to watch, and it set the tone of the whole first wave of L.A. punk bands as something decidedly not New York or London. Hearing the songs below, it might be a case of "you had to be there'" because, as good as the Weirdos recorded output was, their live show was just completely over the top. As if a Robert Rauschenberg combine plugged into an amp, turned it up, and then stepped into a bucket of water. One thing just struck me recently, and may have been why the Weirdos were so memorable and why they were taken seriously despite some humorous lyrics, crazy get ups, and borrowing from pop culture. Outside of a few early photos, they hardly ever smiled; not on their record covers, not in fanzines and definitely not when they played live. Make no mistake, they were a serious band; they just chewed up Southern California culture and spit it out.

I've posted their stuff before, but The Adios Lounge just posted three of their songs with a good write up, so I had me an excuse to push them on you again. In doing a search for other songs, I ran into a couple posts at The Devil's Music about their first two 45s, both essential slabs of L.A. punk.

SHUGGIE ZEPPELIN SOUL


Here's a couple covers from two formidable ladies of soul. Though Bettye LaVette and Sharon Jones are only separated by ten years in age, their musical careers are a study in relative contrasts. LaVette recorded her first single in 1962 at the age of 16, and has recorded sporadically ever since. Jones, though singing all of her life, didn't really catch a break until 1999, releasing her first solo song when she was 43 years old (on an LP by the Soul Providers). As most of you know, she's more than made up for lost time, recording and touring pretty much nonstop for the last decade.

Both of these songs are down tempo, which is where a soul voice is really tested. LaVette covers Led Zeppelin's "All My Love" which is quite another test altogether, at least for me, because I hate the original. But it works. Jones's cover of Shuggie Otis's "Inspiration Information," is some sweet soul stuff, with a vintage groove due in no small part to the Dap-Kings, who as many of you know, shit soul grooves.

FRIDAY NIGHTS IN TEXAS


I'd almost given up on Musica del Alma. They hadn't posted anything new for six months, and that's usually a sign someone's lost the fire. So I was surprised and stoked that there was a new post. I had no idea that it would lead me from Texas to East L.A., and through a half a dozen sub-genres. It ended up being one of those three or four day obsessions that usually end up adding to the want list, and what better to add than a bunch of stuff recorded decades ago by bands I hadn't even heard of a week ago.

The thing at Musica del Alma was a guest post by a guy by the name of High C, about Tony Hernandez and the Latin Liners, out of Sequin Texas. Both songs were funky, both keepers, so I decided to check the blog of the guest poster, as he seemed to really know his shit. Once at his place, Excavation, I started poking around and then just started eating straight out of the can. There's a lot of good stuff over there. The few below are from his "Top 5 Recently & Locally Procured Chicano 45s" post. Big Man and the Night People's "Night Creeper" is some sort of Stax/JB/Booker T thing, with a grit becoming of the band's name and song title. The Blue Nights' "No No" sounds like a garage band trying to play soul, and two thirds of the horn section called in sick. Seriously, it's like you're at their band practice, and they just barely give a shit. And that makes it good. The other three selections over there are also raw, a little off, and excellent; that is if you like imperfect efforts. Effort it is though, be it lackadaisical, over the top, dead on, or a little twisted. The last one down there, from American Athlete, is just an semi-related gimme. I don't know if it's from Texas. I just happened to run across it, and it is Latin and funky, and that's close enough.

MARCUS GARVEY HAD SHORT HAIR


How in the heck did the guy above influence reggae? And rastas? There's a few links below if you're interested in learning, particularly those of you who know Garvey was a significant figure but don't really know why. You know-it-alls might find the thing from the Jamaican Gleaner interesting (last link below). If you're just here for music, there's one song below (the most awesome "Marcus Garvey" by Burning Spear) and a link to five more Garvey related ditties.

TELL 'EM I'M NOT HERE


Can you not like a song that starts with the line "My baby works at a hot dog stand"? Maybe, if you're a Ballpark Franks sort of person, but if you're a Nathan's or Hebrew National person, you know what I'm talking about. Regardless, here's a couple from Corky Jones, a name you might not recognize. That's the name that Alvis "Buck" Owens decided to use for his very short foray into rockabilly territory. He didn't want to water down his country cred. Before you cry "chickenshit", haven't you, at least once, wished that a favorite artist stuck to their A game? What was that oddball Neil Young thing? Oh yeah, Trans. Wouldn't you rather he'd have at least changed his name to, I don't know, Florian Young, Neil Schneider, or something? Oh jeez, I almost forgot the elephant poseur in the room, Chris Gaines, Garth Brooks's thing. I'll stop now, before it gets ugly. But I do like these two. (Rocky-52 does it again.)

FUZZ + HORNS = CLICK MEAT


This is some good stuff. Aquarium Drunkard used Dennis Coffey, the Funk Brothers, Lee Perry, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Dr. John as reference points, and they're not far off. Others have referenced George Clinton and Norman Whitfield, and the latter is really the most accurate, but with a twist. Monophonics sound like they listened to the all of the Whitfield produced psychedelic soul on Motown, and then lost the records; as if they just started winging it, filling in the gaps with stuff from the rest of their record collection. Just check these, all four are worth a listen.

DETOMICMANIA SPREADS


Here we go again, more instrumentals. The big difference this time is that one of these is by a band you might recognize. The Routers, who do the mighty fine "Mashy" below, actually had a hit with "Let's Go!" which makes them practically rock stars in the world of dime-a-dozen instrumentals. Dave and the Detomics have been posted here before, but I'll fly their flag any day of the week, especially when they're posted as the exalted Tuesday Tassel Twirler at Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban. And don't get me started about Billy Davis and the Legends. Like all of the instrumentals Diddy Wah posts (including his latest score, the accurately named Terrifics), it's a aftershave drenched transporter room gone haywire. Beam me backwards, Scotty.

COOL MIX STASH ALERT


Here's a cool mix, from Ghetto Blasters and Switchblades, a nifty site with plenty of other cool mixes as well. I singled this one out, because it includes Don and Dewey, who are near saints in these parts, and Link Wray taking a stab at a vocal number, something you don't hear everyday. A lot of you might have some or most of the songs, but for those of you who don't, you've got a bit of catching up to do. This one has Eddie Cochran, Charlie Feathers, Bunker Hill, the Phantom, Kip Tyler, Jack Scott, Black Lips, Ramones, Pussy Galore, Hasil Adkins, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Link Wray, the Gories,the Sonics, Hank Mizell, Don & Dewey, Oblivians, Teengenerate, Ronnie Allen, New York Dolls, the Shangri-Las, and the Cramps, among others.

Dig around over there because they have a bunch of well informed mixes: A garage mix, a few punk rock mixes, power pop, "Another Fucking 80s College Rock Playlist," a hardcore mix; you get the picture. The song selections are good enough that you may mistake it for the record collection of that motherfucker who bought everything before you did. You know him, doesn't let a beer get within ten yards of the stereo. But how thrashed are your records?

YOU CAN DO THIS SLY


Been on a Sly thing the past few days. Took a deep breath, because I'd read blurbs on him being down and out, homeless, and kind of out there. Though it's partially true, reading the details did not, as I had selfishly worried it would, change what I thought of his music. It still sounds funky and fresh. He, though, hasn't fared that well. Drugs and alcohol have put him in a hole. Though he says he lives out of a camper van by choice, he performs and speaks like someone in need of an intervention, vigilant counseling, life coach, something. It seems the spark's still there, but it'll be one long big ass road to haul.

Sidenote: If any one knows anything at all about Waheymi, who do the cover of Sly's "Underdog" below, pipe in. I looked all over and couldn't find a bio.

You know, the whole Pussy Riot thing is much, much bigger than just a single incident. Beyond the song, beyond the performance, whether or not they were being disrespectful in a house of worship or not; beyond all of that, it is the Russian governments way of clamping down on dissent. As someone said (I forget what report it was in), it is far easier for the Russian government to jail three women musicians, make an example out of them and take the heat, then it is to control ten thousand protesters in the street. We'll see how the people of Russia react. Don't forget, the Arab Spring proved that single incidents can spark historic change.

How have I not gone off about the Bo-Keys? Listen to the songs below and you'll know why that is a huge oversight. I like old soul music, especially when it's new. It may be an age thing, or maybe taste (or both), but anything new around here is scrutinized to death before jumping it.

HERE'S TO WOOD PANELING


You know what I really like about Mr. Airplane Man? At times their vibe went beyond the standard distorted punk blues routine utilized by so many. Sometimes they really had it, that same feeling a good Gun Club song has. Something's impending, and you're not sure what it is, but you know you're ankle deep in it. These are rad. The second one has a little Dream Syndicate Sonic Youth Black Keys Velvet Underground Grace Slick thing going on.
