I Had A Dream.

Carl Bernstein invited me over for “a glass of Claret and some home-made rice pudding”, I went reluctantly because his rice pudding is always burnt and I loathe burnt rice pudding, but he does serve a decent glass of plonk and anyway it’s always nice to have an excuse to get out of town. He’d moved to a vast steel and glass structure in the middle of an open plateau just off the North Cascades highway about ten miles or so before you hit Winthrop. The turning is unmarked so you could easily speed on past, then you’d have to double back and hit it from the other direction which is very confusing. I finally got there a little after 3pm, Meryl Streep answered the door, wearing pajamas and done up in her Margaret Thatcher drag. Meryl was smoking a foul smelling clove cigarette, nonchalantly blowing the wretched smoke in my face. Where was Carl, I asked and she gave me that menacing look she is so famous for in restaurants where she constantly manages to scare the pants off of timid wait-staff. “Gawn dahn the pub, aint ‘e!” She spat out in her best Adele impersonation. I quickly trotted past Meryl/Mararet/Adele and hi-tailed it for the library where I was sure to find Michael Caine who usually pretends to be asleep. He affected this ploy, he told me so he didn’t have to chit-chat with, “That bloke who rides his bike all over the bleeding place and won’t shut up about how he once managed The Rolling Stones!” Sir Michael was indeed feigning sleep in the library when I entered and there, sitting crossed-legged on the floor was one-time Stones manager, Andrew Oldham. He was mending a flat bicycle tire, without looking up Oldham said, “Out of all of ‘em I have the greatest respect for Charlie.” He was chewing on a wad of gum. Smack, smack, smack went his peculiarly flabby lips as he rolled the gum around his mouth. “Hate the rest of ‘em! Hey get me a drink would ya, there’s a love!” He said between smacking his lips. I walked over to the bar and poured myself a shot of vodka and made a gin and T for Oldham. I bent down and handed him the drink, “Bloody hell dear, where’s the sodding lemon?” Before I could answer Michael Stipe had entered the room with his usual entourage, The B52’s, Tom Robbins and Daniel Boulud. Stipe was dressed up in a glittery jumpsuit reminiscent of Mr. Freedom circa 1971. He walked over to the bar, looked at the rows of bottles neatly lined up and with a swishy hand gesture said, “But I didn’t do it! Why doesn’t anyone believe me?” Just then Sir Michael piped up and shouted, “Well I never did it! Honestly, I never did!” From the look on his face Sir Michael was having one of his anxiety attacks. Graham Nash strode into the room with Meg Tilly in tow. “Come out to the lake-house and we can chat…” He whispered to me. Ms. Tilly made a purring sound as she slinked closely up to Nash and clung onto his arm. She batted her eyelashes a few times and said, “C’mon Graham, let’s go now…I wanna go….aww, c’mon Graham darling!” Nash ignored her and led me out into the garden with Ms. Tilly still attached to his arm. In the distance I could just make out the distinctive silhouette of Charles Barkley playing croquet. Dusk was settling in and a flock of Canadian Geese flew uncomfortably close overhead. There was an overwhelming smell of cut crass tinged with burnt rice pudding in the air…then I woke up.

The latest LE Mix #146 was put together literally as soon as I woke up from dreaming. All the tracks arrived in my mailbox during the last week, running the gambit from Minimal Techno to House to Electronica. They work wonderfully together after I engaged a little bit of careful editing and mixing. For optimum enjoyment, put on your headphones, indulge in your favorite relaxing aid and enjoy dreaming.

Blowy & Drippy.

I said it without thinking. I said it because it was. But as soon as I said it I knew it must have sounded really weird. The lovely charming young lady behind the counter smiled nervously and repeated what I said but with a big long drawn out almost visible question mark at the end, “B-l-o-w-y-?” Realizing how peculiarly idiotic I must have sounded didn’t dawn on me immediately. I’d ridden my bike to the gym; the weather was sunny and cool but hard going because of an unusually strong wind. I’d been pedaling frantically as if I were going up a steep hill. Striding briskly into the gym’s reception area I reckoned I should explain my already sweaty condition as I handed the attendant my pass-card, “Phew! It’s blowy!” I said innocently. The lovely charming young lady rescued me from prolonged embarrassment by adding, “That’s cute. I’ve never heard blowy before. Is that a British thing?” "Yes I guess so." I said and she laughed while hinting that blow had another meaning. The next day when I went to the gym it was raining, the same lovely charming young lady was behind the counter, as I handed her my pass-card she smiled and said, ‘So what do you call this then, drippy?”

On the day I cycled against the wind I was listening on my iPhone to a selection from my Reggae archives in preparation for this latest LE Mix #145. We begin with one of my all-time favorite 12” disco mixes from Barry Brown with Scientist at the controls and Jah Thomas adding his well-honed toasting skills on Movements Of Jah. Next up one of Reggae’s legendary masters of Dub, the ubiquitous Jah Shaka and Earth Dub a track found on the album “Jah Dub Creator”. Oscar Hibbert better known to Reggae fans as Junior Delgado, long regarded as one of the more unique voices in Reggae sadly died in 2005 at age 46 leaving behind a legacy of wonderful recordings. Torture comes from his self produced 1978 release “Dance A Dub” recorded at almost all of the great JA studios with a phalanx of heavyweight engineers at the controls. Another release from 1978 “Planet Mars Dub (The Icebreakers With The Diamonds)” by The Mighty Diamonds on Virgin’s Front Line imprint. Virgin label boss Richard Branson recognizing the success of Bob Marley on Chris Blackwell’s Island records decide to get in on the action by sending Reggae aficionado John Lydon (AKA Johnny Rotten) over to Jamaica to search out talent. In it’s short life span, Front Line did indeed release a number of superb recordings, Who Cares being a perfect example with the Jamaican harmony group at their Dubwise best. Half Pint one of Reggae’s early Dance Hall stylists hopefully fares well with royalties from The Rolling Stones who covered his 1983 hit Winsome for their “Dirty Work” album, although renaming it Too Rude. Lindon Roberts, AKA Mr. Pint always a steady contender in the competitive Reggae world is featured here with Don’t Let It Fade Away from his 1995 release “Classics In Dub”. It would be hard not to include King Tubby in a Reggae mix, here then from the excellent 1996 various artists’ compilation “Dub Chill Out” Tubby reworks Barry Brown’s Fittest Of The Fittest. Errol Dunkley’s discography may well go on for pages considering all the releases, re-issues, versions and dubs available. Rush Me Dub is the flipside of Dunkley’s workout on a 12” “Rush Me No Badness” with legendary toaster Ranking Dread. Listen up for the (almost) Nyahbinghi drumming courtesy of Santa Davis on College Dub from one of my all-time favorite Dub albums, “Fatman vs. Shaka In A Dub Conference (Confrontation Dub)” by Prince Jammy. The album released in 1980 showcases Jammy’s mixing genius and his fondness at the time for radical electronic effects. A rare 1976 Trojan 7” I treasure is Bobby Melody’s Jah Bring I Joy the B side is Joyful Dub credited to Mighty 2 who were the team of producer Joe Gibbs and engineer Errol Thompson. I love the multi-tracking of Mr. Melody’s sweet soulful voice. We close this LE Mix with an exceptional and moving recording... Dub Of Rights a 12” Dub version of Johnny Clarke’s Declaration Of Rights, with intense, driving accompaniment by The Aggravators and crucial production from King Tubby. Your feedback on my mixes and posts are always welcome, I look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy.

Seducing A Republican.

“I’m a Republican.” She announced abruptly to my drinking partner Mr. L who’d been ardently steering the conversation in a far more cozy direction. Her out-of-context comment wasn’t going to deter Mr. L, from his vantage point; any conversation is better than none if a conquest is possible. I could almost see and hear the machinery clanking away in his overactive brain. Her declaration only served to encourage Mr. L, “Great!” He purred, “Tell me what does being a Republican mean?” She froze with the classic deer-in-a-headlight stare. Mr. L imagines himself to be a latter day Lothario whose ability as a political pundit is essential to his seductive charm. I recall one particularly hearty evening we’d been enjoying a few glasses of Burgundy when Mr. L called for attention and declared to dinner guests, “Talking politics is like an aphrodisiac to women!” As empirical proof of his claim, he then went on to list the sexual exploits of among others, the Kennedy brothers, Bill Clinton and the implausible Newt Gingrich. “Well…” She began hesitantly, “Well…being a Republican means you don’t want a socialist government and you’re for less taxes and strict laws on immigration and…and…no socialized medicine and a stronger military and…and less taxes…and…” She was floundering. Mr. L was almost licking his lips, readying himself to pounce. He was going to captivate her with his expert understanding of politics. He leaned forward and reached for her hand, which she withdrew instantly to pick up a glass she’d already cleaned and gave it another once-over. Mr. L smiled, well OK, not exactly a smile, more like a smirk. “Yes, yes!” He said with a sigh and then gave her his well-used bewildered-but-all-knowing look that says “I pity you’re ignorance but I’ll still give you my attention”. Another customer called out for an order and she quickly moved away. “Poor thing.” He said conspiratorially to me, “A Republican no less! Ha! I can handle that!”

Earlier that evening Mr. L called “Come ‘n’ have a drink! Jeez! I haven’t seen you for weeks! C’mon you need to get out more!” He barked down the phone. He was calling from a restaurant and bar that’s nice enough if you can handle the faux “Sinatra Rat Pack” theme. Why not I thought, it would make a change and Mr. L’s company can be entertaining, although I can only take his braggadocio in small doses. By the time I arrived Mr. L was busy commandeering the attention of the attractive young lady behind the bar. He was on form gregariously talking about his favorite subject…Mr. L, while simultaneously probing her for personal details. She was now back in front of us, Mr. L wasted no time, “Are you single?” He asked perhaps a little too eagerly. “No!” She shot back with equal gusto, “I’m in a committed relationship.” Still unswayed, Mr. L pressed on, “He’s a lucky man, what does he do?” Did I notice a gentle smile on her face as she said, “She’s a nurse, her name is Linda, we’ve been together for over four years.” Mr. L’s girl-on-girl fantasy went from slightly aroused to decidedly flaccid in mere seconds as he realized there was no room for him in this scenario. It may come as no surprise that Mr. L suggested we leave rather abruptly. We strolled across the street to a new pub with an overworked Irish theme. The bored-looking barkeep took our order, then thrust two measly glasses of red plonk at us. Silence reigned until Mr. L cheerily said, “I’ve got it! She was trying to save me from embarrassment. It’s code. Instead of just saying I’m a lesbian, she says, “I’m a Republican!” Mr. L’s explanation may change the way I view the ongoing antics and pantomimes of the Republican Presidential candidates from now on.

While editing this post, news broke that Whitney Houston had died at age 48. Her talent touched millions including (I’m sure) the artists I’ve chosen to feature in LE Mix #144. The mix was already made so I’ll include it with little comment, suffice to say all these releases have come my way recently and each one is worth investigating. Hopefully I can speak for the artists featured and say Ms. Houston was an unparalleled influential talent. R.I.P. Whitney.

Agitated.

After about a bottle and a half of rather fine Malbec I reckoned I was lubricated enough to write a brilliant post about a package of vinyl I received from the UK. A rare surprise as these days most releases I receive arrive via email as a sterile MP3 file attachments. This stack of lovely tactile plastic discs were all the more intriguing because they had been delivered on the recommendation of my music-biz friend the erudite Mr. M whose excellent taste and connections are first class. Mr. M Skyped me to say the discs were on their way, but didn’t know when. I was out when the package arrived but Ted my next-door neighbor was home so he signed for it. Like two ships that pass in the night we hardly ever see each other, so Ted kept the treasure for over a week until we next laid eyes on each other. “I’ve got something for you.” He said with an unnerving twinkle in his eye, “Hold on, I’ll go and get it.” Ted rushed back, somewhat out of breath. “Just made a fresh pot of coffee, c’mon in.” I said and poured two steaming mugs of the delicious brew and hastily opened the package. Oh! Records!” Ted exclaimed, “What kind of music is this then?” Ted’s a kindly soul, probably not much older than me, but I do believe his taste in music kind of dried up around about the time the Beatles split. Did I detect a hint of sarcasm as he examined the sleeve for Moon Pool & Dead Band? Explaining the releases on Agitated records to Ted would prove difficult, then after listening to the platters many times I realized that explaining to you dear readers of Life Elsewhere would prove equally as difficult.

In an effort to clarify for you what Agitated are all about I checked out their Facebook page where they write: “We put records out. And we like what we release...” And yes, they should. Agitated releases have been categorized as Psychedelic Rock, Space Rock, Indie Rock, Rock & Roll, Garage Rock etc., which of course goes against the grain for me in that I prefer not to stick labels on everything. Truthfully, I’m not so sure I have the writing skills to describe these records even with the delicious wine, so I decided to make the latest LE Mix with only releases from Agitated so you can dream up your own descriptions. And to further aid in your understanding, I’ve included the startling video (above) courtesy of Koolaid (Global Tyranny) with Intercity Firm. Thankfully, Ted didn’t ask me to play the records, saving me from predictable quips like, “You call this music?” Perhaps he was disturbed by Mugstar’s green vinyl and clear plastic sleeve because he pushed it to one side a little too disdainfully, downed his coffee while making a feeble excuse about having to run an errand then made a speedy exit. As it happens, I do call it music and to paraphrase the geezers at Agitated, “I like what I hear!” Enjoy uncategorically. 

LE Mix #143

Mugstar – Serra-Distant Sun
Moon Pool & Dead Band – Subterraneans
Koolaid – 11 18
Bardo Pond – Fallen
Moon Pool & Dead Band – Inches (Over Space)

Influencing The Kills.

My friend and incredibly skillful hairdresser, the “tattooed love-boy” Jimi Bob said, “You wanna go see The Kills?” Why not I thought, the show was on a Monday night and I had nothing better to do. Plus, after all those years of being in the “biz” I had rarely, if ever paid to get in to a show and stand in front of a stage with the rest of the punters. Instead, the “biz” had always kindly invited me to shamelessly huddle backstage or in some VIP area, where most often I was able to indulge in the free booze or whatever other recreational relief was available. As we walked up to the entrance my mind jolted back in time, this venue was uncannily reminiscent of my old Seattle haunt The Showbox; both places bearing the well-worn trademarks of once glorious dance-palaces or supper-clubs from a bygone era. As The Kills hit the stage, I looked around the room at the outfits and energy of the mostly 20 plus crowd, it was easy to imagine I was back witnessing one of those Post Punk – New Wave acts lumber onstage in the 80’s. On stage before me the band were now into their third number as Alison Mosshart strutted across the stage, managing a Keith Richards swagger, which evolved into a coquettish slump against a speaker-stack that Deborah Harry would have been proud of. Jimi Bob was in awe but to prove he wasn’t ogling Ms. Mosshart he asked with a terribly earnest expression, “What would you call their music then…?” Before I could slap myself silly to halt my “concise history of rock ‘n’ roll and the obvious influences” monologue I begun rattling off names as if on autopilot…Suicide…Young Marble Giants…PJ Harvey. In return I was getting blank stares, my hairdresser although appreciative of my encyclopedic musical knowledge was desperately keen to get back to devouring Ms. Mosshart with his eyes as she performed an intimidating slouch-pelvic-thrust-bum-wiggle move. It really was a great night and I thoroughly enjoyed The Kills but my “influence barometer” would not quit. So soon as got home I dashed to my trusty Mac and frantically scrolled though my music library. I found it…Too Many Creeps by Bush Tetras! It was Cynthia Sley’s voice I remembered. Hopefully, Ms. Mosshart or her partner, Jamie Hince are aware of Bush Tetras, not because it would prove my point about influences, but because it will make my night with The Kills even more special.

The next morning I woke up to find my email inbox full of tantalizing MP3’s jockeying for inclusion in my next LE Mix. Well bugger me if I don’t discover Lost On Me a track from Command V (albeit an Optimo Remix) a new outfit put together by…wait for it… Cynthia Sley. The story goes that she decided to return to music after buying a Macbook and discovering Apple’s GarageBand recording software. Command V’s self-titled debut album comes out on March 14th. LE Mix #142 understandably begins with Bush Tetras segueing into Ms. Sley’s Command V (yes it’s a reference to the Mac keyboard). Next up Postiljonen, two Swedes Joel Nyström Holm and Daniel Sjörs and Norwegian Mia Bøe with the lovely dreamy 7, available over at Soundcloud. Pye Corner Audio with Electronic Rhythm Number Four reminds me of those wonderful offerings the inimitable Touch Records were so brilliant at. For more info and downloads go to Black Mill Tapes Vol 2. Bethany Skirt impresses with a nice Minimal Techno almost abstract House track, Racing The Sea from a 3 track EP on Horizontal Ground. I’ve listened to Belgian producer Locked Groove’s Rooted in repeat play mode as I plod along on the treadmill at the gym. I love the subtle changes throughout, at one moment frantic yet then smooth and even blurred. Wonderful, I hear something different on every listen, which helps me manage the steep gradient I force upon my tired old body. Out on 20th of February from French producer Jean Nippon a 5 track EP “Girl Complex”, I’ve selected the Voltron remix of Girl Complex. I guess I couldn’t really get away without including The Kills in this LE Mix unless I wanted my talented hairdresser performing dastardly snips to my treasured locks. What better than their cover of The Velvet Underground’s Pale Blue Eyes, an influence they proudly telegraphed the other night. Enjoy reverentially.

Arrrrrgh!

Surely someone in the higher echelons of grandiosity at the Republican Party has an iniquitous sense of humor. Why else would the Republican National Convention in August 2012 take place in Tampa, Florida? A city that has a record number of strip clubs (at last count over 43), that's more than the city's hospitals (12), high schools (41), fire stations (21) or synagogues (13). The only place that rivals the clubs is McDonald's, which also comes in at 43. Perhaps just to prepare for what will most certainly be a lunatic event, excluding the anticipated riots and use of police tanks, the GOP staged a debate here and ushered all four candidates into town for the all-important primary while the city demonstrates it’s incomparable wackiness with it’s fabled Gaparilla celebration. There really is no way to adequately explain this peculiar affair. Think Mardi Gras with a pirate theme played out by wealthy lawyers, doctors and car dealers…public drunkenness, urination and titty-flashing… manic bead throwing and equally desperate scavenging… insane traffic congestion and extortionate parking fees…and you still haven’t come close to explaining the annual insanity that is Gaparilla. If those GOP candidates had been allowed by their minders to leave their suites in the Marriott Waterside to frolic amongst the masses we could be hearing a whole different rhetoric when it comes time for the speeches late Tuesday night after the Florida primary results are in. Arrrrrgh!

And speaking off different, I had no intention of continuing with the pirate theme with the latest LE Mix. Instead I rounded up tracks I want to draw your attention to. First up a mini-medley from an outfit I’ve raved about for possibly far too long in the hope they will garner a wider audience. The release of “Blueprint” may do the trick. This is a must-have even if you’re not a die-hard techno fan. 808 State have been making intelligent listenable music since the late 80’s and this overview of Greatest Bits will not disappoint. I’ve pointed you in the direction of Birkwin Jersey before, this track Satellites with Ian Keteku is available on the “Old Hands EP”. Sunik Kim aka Beat Culture has also had a mention at Life Elsewhere before, do check out "Tokyo Dreamer" where you’ll find Memory (Cassettes). My friend Mr. M whose taste and knowledge of so many genres of music amazes me kindly sent a file of Hookworms new 12”. Out of Leeds in Yorkshire, these lads impressed me enough with Resolution to suggest to Mr. M he cajole them into getting more MP3’s into my mailbox. It can get confusing when you have a number of aliases, Gunner Wendel is also know as Seltene Erden and for this outing with OS2009 he goes by the moniker Kareem Moser and that’s not enough he also happens to be in the group Chilling The Do.

Please note I now feature the artist or title links where available to make it easy for you to buy the music. Arrrrrgh! Enjoy.

Cut.

I’m at number140 with the latest LE Mix, that’s a lot of music I’ve selected, mixed, recorded and made available for you to download since 2008. It’s also a lot of file space and anyone who has dabbled around with “the cloud” soon realizes the more you use the more you need. LIFE ELSEWHERE is moving forward and I need to free up space. After 1.25.2012 I will be changing the availability of the LE Mixes. Don’t wait - download now!

Alex Smoke from Glasgow begins LE Mix #140. With a background in classical music he made his debut to critical acclaim in 2002 with “Random As”. This young producer works his innovative style by fusing minimalism with emotional strings and intelligent electro rhythms to full effect on Miyako. “We are two musicians Ian McDonnell and Dara Smith. We make electronic music of all styles.” So say Lakker on their Twitter page. After listening to Spider Silk check out these Dubliners effort’s on Soundcloud. I received Crosstown from Kid Counselor (aka Jacob Leech) some weeks back with the intention of including it sooner than later. I think Mr. Counselor/Leech will approve of the inclusion in LE Mix #140. Escape Myself from Answer Code Request is almost contradictory, being deep and catchy yet with a menacingly dark bass-line; surprisingly bright beats and grim static with unexpected effects poking in and out. Out of Düsseldorf on the Themes For Great Cities imprint Wolf Müller gives us Pflanzentanz from an EP titled “Lagerfeuer Tanz” (Campfire Dance). Discogs curiously list the genre as “Electronic, Folk, World, & Country” and the Style as “Tribal, Experimental, Disco”. So much for labels I say! A female voice and birds chirping float in and out of With You, a three-and-a-half-minute song from San Francisco producer Giraffage and everytime I play I hear something different. The Townhouse remix of So Sorry by Melbourne’s Geoffrey O’Connor reminds me that pop music should always be this good. We stay down under for Someone by Tuksta. I have no more information about this other than to report that the big fat dollop of bass and Indian(?) guitar samples work beautifully as does the syncopated percussion. You’ll find more on Soundcloud. On first listen to Drugged Out Quest by Ssaliva I reckoned I’d received a warped copy, until I clouted myself in the side of the head, noting it was an MP3 file, since then I’ve listened to the cut many times and like it warps n’ all. I played 10-20’s Bloomback for my long-suffering hairdresser and aspiring rock-star, the exceptionally talented Jimi Bob. As he wielded his lethal shears mere millimeters from my right ear he gave the track a big thumbs up while exclaiming, “Yeah! Fucking good man, love it!” We close this edition of LE Mix #140 with Hi-Fi Hi-Jinx a retro-funk-loop outing by Lasership Stereo, you can check out more at Soundcloud. Enjoy neatly.
