ONE HAS JACKET ENVY

I miss the early Black Keys. For their first few LPs they were raw, living up to their "part broke ass shit, part hot ass shit" sound. I'm not saying their later stuff isn't worth listening to, I just really dig their first few LPs.

Here's three covers that found their way onto their first three albums. You should know the originals. If you don't, they're easily found. I really dig the way they deconstruct them and put them back together with fewer parts. It's kind of like what the Ramones did, but the Black Keys didn't rely on the "1,2,3,4!" nothin' but chords approach.

UNEVENTFUL DAYS HAVE EVENTS

Here's one of the many reasons I love living in Southern California. It's been getting chilly lately and the water temperature slowly dropping. It was supposed to be cloudy and rainy today, and the water temperature had dropped to 62°. It looked like the end of the beach days for the year. Regardless, I ran errands early, just in case. By the time I got home the clouds had parted and the temperature was a few degrees warmer than forecast-ed. I figured that one of the perks of living five minutes away from the beach is that if you go down there and it starts raining, you just shuffle back home without wasting half a day driving, parking, and driving back. So I grabbed my shit and started down there. Got as far as Newport Farms, the convenience store two blocks away, and ran into David, a Spicoli type character who's a master carpenter and covered with tats. (My favorite: bread, cold cuts and garnishes tattooed on his knuckles. A knuckle sandwich.) So I walk with him to the tattoo shop and then ran into Kevin, another local. While talking to him, Gil, still another loc', comes cruising by on his bike. I went for a short walk to the other end of the beach, and when I come beach, who's plopped down right by my unattended shit? Bob, who lives across the street from me. On the way home I had two more friend run-ins. To cut to the chase, I whiled away most of the afternoon shooting the shit with friends and getting wet at the beach. (Bonus: The water temperature actually went up to 64°!). This on a day that wasn't supposed to be accommodating to goofing around outdoors. I was resigned to getting shit done. It turned out to be an awesome day to be "unproductive".

When I got home, the song below came to mind. What's not to like about a well crafted pop song about a nice day with a heavily accented Euro-babe singing with bonus bird tweets?

BACKSTAGE AT THE CALVACADE OF KNOCKERS

Thematic mixes are usually a double edged sword. On one hand, they can suck. In the struggle to find songs that fit the theme, some crappy ones creep in. The quality of a thematic mix is really a measure of the selector's collection and know-how. This one is by Phil X. Milstein, aka Probe Is Turning-On the People aka Snidely Whiplash, and it is great. He has really good and well informed taste. Another sign of a like minded fiend? Of all the contending song titles available as a title of his post, he chose the song "Who's Knocking On My Door" by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Sucked me in.

DIVERSIONS RULE

I ran into a bunch of what's referred to as Mod Jazz. It's not the first time I've heard that term. Being an American too young (never mind on the wrong continent) to experience the whole mod thing in the sixties, I get my mod-ucation as hindsight. So I might have it all wrong. It seems to me that the music the mods favored, outside of mod bands like the Who, the Small Faces and so on, included ska, Northern soul, jazz, blues, and rhythm and blues. Not sure where mod jazz is in the middle of that. Tonight, after hearing a half dozed cuts, it occurred to me that this "mod jazz", along with Northerrn soul and soul jazz, was very similar to what was referred to as Popcorn by scenesters in Belgium. [This way to the black hole.] I tracked down the short documentary about the popcorn scene that I'd posted eight years ago (it's good, watch it) and then the wheels came off. I'm all over the place right now so these will have to do.

THAT VOICE

A couple days ago a live clip of Toots and the Maytals from 2017 popped up on my feed. I hadn't seen live footage of Toots Hibbert in a long while so, what the hell, right? Sheeit! I was amazed at how well his voice has held up over the years. I mean it's not like he's Sinatra, his voice has always had a gospel-like roughness to it. Even with that, he was at it for roughly fifty years and he still sounded pretty much the same. This is good shit.

Here's a handful of early things (mid-sixties to early seventies) and a studio clip from the 1972 film The Harder They Come. My favorite part of that clip is the moment at 2:13 that Jimmy Cliff (in the yellow hat) has a lightbulb go off, thinking "Hey, I could do that." One last thing: As I often do when I see a video that's good, I check to see what other stuff is posted on the user's channel. The user that posted the live clip turned out to be Quincy Jones ("Qwest"). As I suspected, that dude has taste. There's a ton of good stuff. Dig it.

THE SANTA ANA SOUNDTRACK

You wouldn't know it from looking at them but after years of listening to the Budos Band, I can't help but associate them with the beach, the walk home after a swim during Santa Ana weather conditions (warm and dry, offshore winds). Something to do with when I first started listening to them, they were on heavy rotation at home that year the water and weather stayed nice well into November. They don't look very beach-y, particularly in the video below. The funny thing is, now twenty years in, they look like half the people in my neighborhood (which is the beach). In other words, they look a little scroungy. Their sound has gotten harder as well. I wasn't crazy about the more in-your-face sound a few years ago but after seeing the video below, I'm re-thinking that. The video is great. Filmed this past August. There's a handful of their early stuff down there too so you can see what a couple decades of evolving does.

Well, here we are, a couple Fela Kuti cuts. Characteristically long: one is fifteen minutes, the other seventeen minutes. That Fela. Dude loves his long jams. At that length you can let 'em rip and go about your business. Make a sandwich whilst shaking your ass and your lunch will taste better.

FUCK THE HALL

You know the butterfly effect? It's the theory that a small change somewhere can cause another change with  something else, which leads to another change and after this happens a bunch of times pretty soon something distant and more significant changes. I'm bringing this up because there is no doubt that people like me complaining that Link Wray was not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame [sic] lead to his being inducted this year. Let me make it clear that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a piece of crap. It's just a record industry way of pumping itself up. They don't know rock 'n' roll. Case in point, the Bee Gees were inducted in 1997. Would you call any song of theirs rock 'n' roll? And they were inducted twenty five years before Link Wray! Should I twist the knife a little more? Wray was inducted with a Musical Influence Award, not as a performer. What the fucking fuck?!

IL MONDO MORRICONE

I ran into a post at Radio Diffusion Internasionaal Annexe that was international covers of Ennio Morricone songs. Yeah, you know where this is going. The songs are from the Sergio Leone's "Man With No Name" trilogy, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. That sent me into a Morricone bender. If you are familiar with his work on those three films, you'll know that he uses pretty unique instrumentation, including whistling, jaw-harps, and choruses singing non-words, some bordering on grunts..

This is awesome.

I've heard Morricone covers plenty of times. Almost without exception they were period covers, done at the time of the films to cash in. Most of the covers have been pretty straight forward, so the international covers (also period cash-ins) were interesting to hear, particularly with the traditional country relevant instruments in the mix. They're from all over the place: Hong Kong, Nicaragua, Guyana, Sri Lanka, Trinidad & Tobago, Brazil, the Phillipines and Singapoe.

Here's the OG himself, Morricone, a few American covers and just one of the songs from Radio Diffusion. There's a link to his post, I'm only posting the one so I have an excuse to use that badass sleeve above. Mint condition, I swear.

THE LAST POST

That time you run into a band that you haven't thought about in ages. You know you have a copy of their first LP that you've had for years and it's miss-fuckin-filed. You know you'd never have sold it because even back in the day you knew that it was a kind of milestone for the late seventies L.A. punk scene. There weren't many bands in 1979, that had that sixties garage band thing going without copying it. You listen to the recordings and it's evident that their recording budget was next to nothing. Then you remember that they were so strapped that they hand wrote the titles of the songs on their first 45. Core.

The Last was an awesome band, more so because they straddled multiple scenes. They were part garage band, part punk, part jangly mid-sixties band, they had good songs and didn't seem concerned about looking cool. I can't think of another band that was on both Bomp (a retro/pop oriented label at that time) and SST (home to Black Flag). Respect.

THE WOLFMAN HOWLS

Racking my brain trying to think of any additional Halloween shit I might have, I got as far as Howlin' Wolf's "Evil". Yeah, you don't have to tell me, it isn't really Halloween related but the title of the song and Wolf's voice is enough to scare away the trick or treaters. "Oh, that's nice, you're the tenth kid I've seen dressed as some pop culture person I've never heard of. I'm fresh out of gummies, here take a Snickers. Hey! It's the fun size goddamnit."  What the hell happened to mummies, Frankenstein, witches and yeah, Wolfman?! Hell, turn out the porch light, listen to Howlin' Wolf and eat all the candy yourself.

WANT MORE?!

Yikes! I'm so far out of partying mode that it just dawned on me that tonight is the last non-work night partying opportunity before Halloween, otherwise known to serious "I don't give a damn what day it falls on, I'm going to rage on Halloween" type people as poseurs' night. Here's two mixes. One is an instrumental Halloween mix and I'm not quite sure how that works. Sure, band names and song titles might have references to Halloween, but who's hearing that at a party? I've downloaded this mix before, but I don't remember if there's doors creaking, screaming or hokey fake Dracula accents sprinkled about. There are radio ads for movies, I do remember that. It was compiled by J. R. Williams and his mixes are always good. Anyway, I'm wasting time here. Here's the two mixes along with a couple token Cramps semi-related cuts. Get 'em drunk and turn it up.

Here you go ghouls, once a year whether you need 'em or not. I sure hope I don't have to tell you how essential the Sonics are (that's them with their muse above).. "The Witch" is one of their many great bashers. And Kip Tyler? Everything about "She's My Witch" is spot on. The guitar, the pace, the mood and, holy fuck, the filthy sax solo.

NOT BAD NOT REGGAE

I had to post these. Not because they're all that good, in fact they're not my bag at all. They're just reggae-lite related oddballs. I consider neither real reggae. The first is a seventeen minute cover of the Temptation' "My Girl" by jazz flutist Herbie Mann with Albert Lee and Mick Taylor on guitar, backed by the Tommy McCook Band. McCook was a legendary sax player springing forth from the Skatalites. So what you have is a jazz dude, a guy fresh out of the Stones and a reggae bona fide doing Motown. The other song is an Otis Redding cover by a reggae singer inna disco stylee. Judy Mowatt (seen above) was. one of the I-Threes, a vocal trio that backed Bob Marley (also including Rita Marley and Marcia Griffith). She later tried to crossover by doing some sort of disco reggae hybrid, not unlike Sly and Robbie's evolution around that time, that syn-drum bullshit. But she has a great voice and is better looking than Herbie Mann.

Here's some more Halloween stuff and you have plenty of time to cherry pick for your ghoul infested soirée next weekend. These come from a bunch I ran into a few years ago and, surprise, surprise, the links are still good. So take a dip and see if any will work for your mix. A special note to anyone familiar with 45 Grave's early work, you'll be interested in Don Hinson's original version of  "Riboflavin Flavored Non-Carbonated Polyunsaturated Blood", a cover of which was, I think, the first thing 45 Grave ever committed to vinyl.

THEY WILL NOT GO QUIETLY

It's that time. Here's all of Rev Tom Frost's Bloody Halloween mixes. Every year, a grand Halloween lazy night repost cop out. I'd imagine there are a few of you who haven't heard any of them. If you're unfamiliar with Reverend, there's bits and pieces in these past posts.

The mixes (25 of them!) are only available streaming, but by now most of you have the gizmo arsenal required to blast them at a party.

And don't forget, the Frosty one is a kick ass musician himself. Ask your local Mr. Record Store Man to put the Reverend's goods in their racks. While you wait, buy his shit at Bandcamp.

THIS SONG IS AT THE WRONG LABEL

If I was at Stax back in the sixties and seventies and someone suggested that a Stax artist cover a Motown song, I'd feel it my duty to discourage it. More like "Get the fuck out." It's not like Stax had any shortage of songwriters, and those songwriters had Stax artists in mind when the wrote songs. Why bother covering Motown? But they did. Here's three.

Eddie Floyd (the "Knock On Wood" guy) covered the Temptations' "My Girl". It's good, really good. If you didn't know the song, you'd never guess that it was a Motown cover. Isaac Hayes, no stranger to covers, completely changed the vibe of Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye" turning it into a stormy night lovers slow jam. Then again, he could do that with any song. Margie Joseph did a great version of the Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love" replete with a long spoken word intro and all sorts of dramatic strings. It's less pop, more story than the Supremes. Somehow all three work without a hint of a Motown sound.

IT CAME FROM THE 99¢ BIN

Here's another one from the 99¢ bin. I'm not sure if it still ends up there but there was a time when it was practically inescapable. If you frequented the 99¢ bins (and thrift stores) in the past some records were so omnipresent that it seemed like once a title was put in the bin, it began reproducing. One time a record store I frequented had so many Molly Hatchet records in their 99¢ bin that, while talking to the counter guy, I pretended to be browsing while I clandestinely pulled a bunch of the Molly Hatchet records and arranged them in their front display rack meant for featured or new releases. It's was funnier than it sounds. I knew the owner and he hated Molly Hatchet (as do I) and that was probably why all of them were in the 99¢ bin in the first place.

As I mentioned, this was one from the 99¢ bin and, man, it really shows how Buffalo Springfield was still trying to figure out what kind of band they were after their first LP. These are from their second, Buffalo Springfield Again. The first one is "Mr. Soul" penned and sung by Neil Young. It's a little harder edged, a harbinger of his solo stuff that came a few years later. It is also awesome. "Rock & Roll Woman" [sic] is a Stephen Stills song and it's, well, a laid back Laurel Canyon thing, not all that surprising considering Buffalo Springfield were part of that. The big surprise was "Good Time Boy", a blue eyed soul thing written by Richie Furay and sung by the drummer Dewey Martin. Here's to liner notes. If it weren't for liner notes I wouldn't have a fucking clue who Dewey Martin was.

NATIONAL [PREFERRED TERM] MONTH, PT 8

If you saw that photo above and didn't know who it was, you'd wonder what the the hell the guy was up to. He looks like an extra from a Quentin Tarantino or Robert Ramirez film, like that accordion is going to turn into a machine gun. I don't  know, there's something about that photo that sucks me in. Obviously he looks badass. Badass, as in don't make me put this thing down self assured badass.

The self assured badass is Esteban Jordan, a master of the accordion. Revered in squeeze box circles. He was the first to use effects with an accordion. Check this video. It's Tex Mex psych, like dub in places. The visual effects are total public access TV.

There's a few songs below and a link to a concise obituary profile from 2010 at NPR within it a first hand account of the author trying to interview him. I did not know he could get every bit as pissy as Mr. Baker.

IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH SOMEWHERE

Well here we are, Friday the 13th. Nothing bad has happened to me, yet. I remember thinking that on the way home from a Friday the 13th party years ago, "Nothing bad has happened ..." Ka-plunk!! Pfft! Pfft! Pssssss..." Two flat tires! Yeah. That was the mid-eighties because I remember that I was driving the '78 Chevette that I bought from my younger sister for $300. Anyway, staying home tonight, just in case.
