    If you have the opportunity, go see them. Great energy - sort of a wall of sound, controlled fury dreamscape. Well, like the albums.

     

    When I saw them last year, Cox was in drag and distant. This year he was wearing jeans and a flannel. What? Yup. Much more engaging with the audience. It helped that a majority of the room was dancing right from the start. One of the better shows I've seen this year.

     

    Very into all their previous work. Really love Microcastle/Weird Era, Cont..

    Seriously?! Nick is in your face, dark, compelling, and utterly relevant.

    Larry made his nest high up in the autumn branches

    Built from nothing but high hopes and thin air

    He collected up some baby blasted mothers who took their chances

    And for a while they lived quite happily up there

     

    He came from New York city man, but he couldn't take the pace

    He thought it was like dog eat dog world

    Then he went to San Francisco, spent a year in outer space

    With a sweet little San Fransiscan girl.

     

    I can hear my mother wailing and a whole lot of scraping of chairs

     

    I don't know what it is but there's definately something going on upstairs

    (I want you to dig)

     

    (I want you to dig)Meanwhile Larry made up names for the ladies

    Like miss Boo and miss Quick

    He stockpiled weapons and took potshots in the air

    He feasted on their lovely bodies like a lunatic

    And wrapped himself up in their soft yellow hair

     

    I can hear chants and incantations and some guy is mentioning me in his prayers.

    Well, I don't know what it is but there's definately something going on upstairs

    (I want you to dig)Well L New York City man, San Francisco, LA, I don't know

    But Larry grew increasingly neurotic and obscene

    I mean he, he never asked to be raised from the tomb

    I mean no one ever actually asked him to forsake his dreams

    He ended up like so many of them do, back on the streets of New York City

    In a soup queue, a dopefiend, a slave, then prison, then the madhouse, then the grave

    Ah poor Larry.

     

    But what do we really know of the dead And who actually cares?

     

    Well, I don't know what it is but there's definiately something going on upstairs.[Dig yourself]

    Did Towner recently put out a new album? Possibly a guitar/piano duo album? I heard a Towner track on the radio on the local Sunday morning jazz show, and it was really good.

    Towner's more recent albums are mainly solo guitar works, ending with Time Line, released in 2006.

    You may have heard a piece off Diary, where he accompanied himself with piano overdubs. It was one of his first solo albums.

    Much of the Towner material on ECM is very good. Wide Sargasso See with John Abercrombie is one of my old favorites. The beauty of ECM is it was very popular and put out great vinyl records that are still widely available used.

    Just picked up a mint copy of Abercrombie's Timeless (w/ Hammer and DeJohnette) last week. One of my favorite albums ever, not only because of the performances, but it was one of the first jazz albums I bought when I started listening to jazz back in the early 70s. A little more fusion(y) than most of the ECMs, but just as captivating.

    I saw McLaughlin play acoustically with a band around '88. His drummer (or percussionist) was a guy named Trelok Gurtu (sp?). I'll tell you what - that man was a killer! I think he's also played in latter versions of Oregon - a really great band imo.

    Also a big fan of Oregon and, more precisely, Ralph Towner. Listen to Solstice often - maybe the most beautiful of the ECMs.

    Nice!

    I was just having some high school lust for Bowie today. Pretty much every day actually.

     

     

    Where the eff did this thread come from again? Oy.

    I moved this weekend. Bluck!

    My friend helped empty the garage of the once thought necessary.

    We hauled most to the street while shouting Rebel Rebel lyrics, posing all Bowie glammy.

    The pickers looked puzzled by the show but took a lot of the discards anyway.

    One box contained some periodicals from the 80s, one showed Seka all glossy and peroxide.

    Always liked how hers hung just so.

     

    Didn't know what any of that meant until stumbling on this thread today.

    Didn't know what this thread meant last year until emptying the garage yesterday.

     

    Glammychrissy is hot.
