Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from January 15, 2016 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

UM, referring to Doug's gif, my friend, Toshio Kajiwara, used to design turntables w/ multiple arms and descending contacting mics w/ records w/ pieces of tape and rubber bands on it to create beats. I used to use a half dozen turntables w/ records w/ tape, and cuts made w/ exacto knifes on records. I only did it a few times, b/c, damn, needles are expensive.

The characteristics I like about Ferry are pretty much the ones I didn't like when first I heard/saw him. He effected a caricature of suaveness, a mannerism not befitting rock music. But then it did fit, or I grew not to care that it didn't. How else should one sing "Love Is the Drug" or "Out of the Blue"? For me, "Like a Hurricane" only really works as a Roxy Music performance. The simile is so, pardon the pun, overblown. It takes a pose like Ferry's to make it work.

Works the other way, too, UM. Donny Paycheck, drummer and chronic finger-giver for Zeke, is just a cool grandpa kinda guy. Brinsley Schwarz appeared to appreciate the "I've been a fan forever" offerings after a Graham Parker gig. Their job, perhaps, is to be human offstage.

One age group lived thru the Depression & WWII - I lived thru the Disco Years. Even then I knew some was just good Pop &/or Funk - but in the smalltown world it wasn't the Gays & People of Color & hard drug freaks who were Disco People - & it was the Jocks & yer Dad wanting to be Travolta, see. All the Live venues went GlitterBall - wall-to-wall on *all* the airwaves - & this was for years & years & years it seemed. Where & when I was situated - the Punk Revolution seemed the inevitable reaction to this (& YachtRock & JourneyStyxForeignerKansasEaglesReoSpeedwagon) - far more than a reaction to Prog as it's usually realted. So - if Disco stylistically disappeared up believing its' own Press - it's its' own fault
...But of course dismissing a whole Genre out of hand is an abdication.
...I'll Copy & Save that for next time the Disco Question comes up maybe...

I like Ferry just fine, to be clear. He does Ferry real well.

March 1, 1984, issue of Musician magazine, pp. 82 & 90 feature an interview w/ Alomar, "Who the Hell is Carlos Alomar?" The interview ends with discussion of the "Fame" riff. "'Fame' definitely came first," is Alomar's take. He goes on to suggest Bowie would have sued had Brown's version hit. But nothing about how Brown got the lick in the first place.

Which explains why "Metal Machine Music," the last side in particular, was so (if you'll pardon the pun) revolutionary.

OK, I bought it 1981.
seems like they had a new harmonizer at the time.
I listened to Discomo way more often.

I can indeed see how this would've wigged out 1979 me. Hell, hearing the "The Wall" in full freaked me out a bit in 1980 or so.

Not very scary, could be minimalist classical, Glass

That's not the creepiest bit on Eskimo. I'm not sure I'd find any of it creepy or scary today.

A creepy cartoon - but a cartoon. (Always Humor in the Residents.) If I heard on the radio (not likely) in 1979 - I would've perked up & waited for the back-announce, that's for sure.

Ironically, some of the creepiest Residents stuff is on The Commercial Album. That and "Sinister Exaggerator."
