msr madness vol. 2, 3 & 4
Back in the day, non-musicians mailed in their addled and/or eloquent poetry (often scribbled on sandwich bags or cocktail napkins), and for a small fee, a song was created out their poetic detritus. The concept is nothing new - there have been numerous anthologies of song poems (and even a film about the phenomenon), so many in fact that you have to wonder just how much good material there is. These collections answer that questions - tons of it, especially if you keep an open mind and you're as receptive to the strangeness of the genre as you are to the pained emotion and the historical insight they often provide.
-wfmu
i present to you the long oop print volumes 2-4 of the msr madness series compiled by Tom Ardolino (nrbq) and Don Bolles (Germs). much ink has already been spilled over the song-poem phenom and it's shining star Rodd Keith (including a documentary), but these collections were the first exposure many of us had to this treasure trove of american weirdness at it's finest.
volume 1 was the vinyl-only Beat Of The Traps album, but fear not, as 12 of those 16 tracks are on volume 2 with the remaining appearing on volume 3. volumes 5 and 6 were unfortunately shelved until Phil Milstein and WFMU came to the rescue and put them up for [free download]. the complete liner notes to these and the many subsequent song-poem comps can be found at the [American Song-Poem Archives]. info about Rodd Keith can be found over [here] and an article by his son Ellery Eskelin can be read over [here].

Nick Nicely- Psychotropia
yep, another case of lost neo-psychedelic gems (early-80's style) that finally got a proper re-ish a coupla years ago... both of his 7" singles plus a slew of previously unissued tracks recorded in the interim.
a tilt of the hat to [gary war] for the heads up on this chunk of overlooked psych-pop bliss. a def must for anyone inclined toward the bobb trimble/ariel pink/r.stevie moore/john maus/gary war/blank dogs schools of psychotropic pop. also, mr. nicely recently assembled a [mixtape] for the fine folk over at naturalismo that's worth yr while...

aunt sally (1979)/phew (1981)
phew should need no [introduction] as a legendary and prominent mover in the japanese underground scene for over three decades...
her first solo album from 1981 is an absolutely stunning krautrock/japanese-avant hybrid, recorded at Conny Plank's studio with Conny, Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit acting as co-producers and her backing band... credentials like that, you know you can't go wrong.
the aunt sally album was recorded and released in 1979 in an edition of 400, reissued in 1984 and again in 2002 w/ three live bonus tracks recorded in osaka in 1979 tacked on for good measure... a pleasant slice of kleenex/liliput-esque punk/post-punk, just hinting at the greatness to come two years later.

Sadistic Mika Band- S/T, Kurofune & Hot! Menu

Aghast- Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis
haunting, hypnotic minimalism... ghostly voices calling from the grave and chilling otherworldly tones with just a hint of smeary, hissy ambient/depressive black metal atmospherics, likely because both members are wives of black metal royalty (one married to Samoth from Emperor, the other to Fenriz from Darkthrone). the knowledge that this was recorded on Dead's (Mayhem) old mic, only adds to the foreboding sense of dread.

yoko ono- fly/wicked witch- chaos 1978-86
feeling a bit homesick for the east coast, and these two albums were on high rotation on my ipod when i lived in brooklyn.
fly is classic proto-no wave that should be held in much higher regard and chaos 1978-86 is pure mind-swamp fuckery that comes off like the nexus connecting bootsy, throbbing gristle and ariel pink... yes, it's that good.

does anyone out there have any further insight on him????

Ian North- My Girlfriend's Dead (1980)
seminal early synth-pop album from former Milk 'N' Cookies member Ian North, recorded in 1979 in his brooklyn apartment after an extended stint in England. remastered with the Rape Of Orchids ep thrown on for good measure (featuring Only Love Is Left Alive, which was shown heavily on MTV and was featured on the first day of the station’s broadcast).
[My Girlfriend's Dead]
Raymilland- Recordings '79-'81
stellar midwest post-punk on a def eno/devoto/ubu trip that finally got the proper deluxe re-ish treatment earlier this year...
Raymilland formed in the summer of 1978 in St. Louis and lasted until the fall of 1981. Although starting out playing standard punk covers by the Buzzcocks, Damned, and Ultravox, their original influences and ideas about music leaned more toward the no-wave bands of NY and the more experimental bands from the UK. Raymilland played live eight times; four in St. Louis and four in Chicago. A fifth Chicago date slotted to open for Joy Division never happened when the US tour was canceled due to the death of Ian Curtis. Raymilland released one single in 1980 on Praxis (an influential Chicago music/art magazine), had one song included on the first Sub-Pop compilation cassette, and another on a compilation cassette released by the legendary Dong Dong Tapes from the Netherlands. A self produced demo cassette to attract label interest and procure live gigs was so influential that Wax Trax Records sold bootleg copies in their Chicago retail store.

disco blaze- jump back
big kudos to [holy warbles] for this... i'd been searching for this one for over a year.
Total WTF record from Nigeria. One copy dug up in 2008 & went for about 800 smackers. Furry, backasswards fuzz guitar, drums sometimes mixed way too high [likely under the influence of late 70s disco 12 inches]. There's also a couple of ballads with shaky, fragile femme vocals, but the backing continues to be slathered in wah & effects. As to why the guy on the front has fangs & bats flying around his head? Uh, you got me, buddy. Fans of Chrissy Zebby Tembo, you've found your next stop.

The Masterworks Of Satyajit Ray
One of the great pleasures Satyajit Ray's films gives audiences is the beautiful music they contain. This has been true from the very beginning of his career, when he asked classical music Pandit Ravi Shankar (the 'Apu' trilogy, 'Devi') and Ustad Vilayat Khan ('The Music Room') to compose and perform the music for his soundtracks. These great maestros always worked within the framework of Indian classical music; that is, music based upon ragas. However, light classical and folk songs, as well as folk tunes, were also drawn upon and provide much intoxicating rhythm and lively orchestration for Ray's scores. ...
For the orchestration he himself wrote, he relied on the rich sonorities available in Western instruments played in combination with Indian ones -- for instance, violins and cello, trumpet and harmonium, played with Indian wooden flutes, sarangi, santoor, sarod, sitar and tabla. His melodies were always based on ragas, however, no matter what the combination of instruments might be, and the ravishing sound he wrought from this is what people think of his peculiarly individual, 'Ray-like,' music. No other film composer in India ever quite attained his effects, or gave us film music so satisfying to the Western ear.

harmony korine- trash humpers ost
I always walk my dog in these alleyways by my house by where I grew up, and I remember there always used to be these peeping toms. They lived in this old person’s home – well, it was more like a basement that stored old people. And they had this uniform which was these black turtlenecks and white nursing shoes. Usually they would fornicate in the alleyways behind these strip malls and peep into people’s windows. It always made an impression on me, so I decided to make a film that was loosely based on these memories.

Why couldn’t they just wipe some gonorrhea on them and be done with it?

He recorded a number of hit songs in Nigeria during the 70s, the biggest of which was "Atomic Bomb" in 1978. William has now been crowned a High Chief in Enugu, where he lives today as a successful businessman working on government contracts and running his own flour mill.

voight/465
i'd like to personally thank nate from die monitr batss for turning me on to this the other evening at tube and [mutant sounds] for the tuneage and blurb...
compiling the "Slights Unspoken" LP and the "State/A Secret West" 7", plus some bonus. Voigt/465 were an Australian post punk band. Their sound is an interesting schizophrenic mix of punk, krautrock, psychedelia with RIO/Homosexuals/This Heat weirdness. Reminds me much of Family Fodder and Ludus. Overall, a big part in the history of Australian underground. Released in 2001 and sadly out of print nowadays.

well folks, never underestimate the power of just asking nicely! the live ludus cassette i [posted about previously] is now up for download at the [quick stab music products soundcloud page]!!!
a note from rob quick stab:
Here it is.
Hope you enjoy!
Tempted to suggest headphones on/lights off - travel back to Manchester 1981, be with Ludus at one of their quite usual (according to Ian) "warm-up" improvisations!
WARNING - At times intense!
Ian Devine says "An echo of derelict ballrooms and north Mancunian (well, Bury) abandonment. The view from the room - a direct sight of the tower in Strangeways prison (which made an appearance on a A Certain Ratio cover). Truly it was like east Berlin, and we played in fingerless gloves because it was so cold..."
the file at the soundcloud page is in a wav file format, so for yr convenience (so ya can throw it on yr ipods and whatnot) i converted it into an mp3...
get it here:

WARNING - At times intense!
Ian Devine says "An echo of derelict ballrooms and north Mancunian (well, Bury) abandonment. The view from the room - a direct sight of the tower in Strangeways prison (which made an appearance on a A Certain Ratio cover). Truly it was like east Berlin, and we played in fingerless gloves because it was so cold..."
the file at the soundcloud page is in a wav file format, so for yr convenience (so ya can throw it on yr ipods and whatnot) i converted it into an mp3...
get it here:
[ludus- live at the rialto 1981 mp3]
once again, go visit the [quick stab myspace page] for lots more fine tuneage. please add them to yr friends list and send rob a thank you for being kind enough to grace us with this lost gem!

ludus redux...
a few weeks ago, i posted a bunch of obscure [ludus tracks] on this here thang. well, an astute reader notified me that i was short one release that i wasn't hepped to, a *very* ltd live cassette only release that came out on the [quick stab productions] tape label outta bristol/cardiff across the pond in the u.k.
i promptly contacted rob from the label and this was his response to my queries about said tape:
hi Tony
I'm in communication with Ian Devine - see if he says ok. Should be fine - the tape was freely available back in the 80s, even if only about 10 copies got made. He will advise on any problems re Linder but again i doubt it.
I'm hoping to make available all the Quick Stab Catalogue in time, through myspace and soundcloud.
The recording is actually one long improvisation, done privately during a practice/recording session.
I'll let you know. Have passed yr blogspot details on to Ian.
Best Wishes
Rob
so, when/if said ludus is available for dl, i'll be on that like white on rice... *crossing my fingers*
btw, the quick stab myspace page has lotsa free downloads of past releases from this fab tape-only label... go check it! esp if yr into the whole cab voltaire/gristle/fad gadget/early human league/mute records/etc. wing of the postpunk school...
***news flash! 1.13.2010***

my top records of 2009
everyone else indulges themselves with these things, so i figured "why not?"... no particular order as these all received high rotation marks on my laptop, ipod and turntables. and yes, it's 37. lump it. it was to be 30, but alas... i *had* to include wicked witch as it came out in december 2008 around my bday and i listened to it a lot while walking around new york... plus, i don't really care. nyeh ^_~
