on this date in 1981, the psychedelic furs put out "talk talk talk" and my whole world turned upside down

Acoustic guitars! What?!? I’m pretty sure that very early teenage me thought this intro was amazing. So when the Electric Guitar and Drums enter, they do so with Aplomb. To put it mildly. The guitar is HUGE. The riff is HUGE. All Of This And Nothing - the band’s most ambitious piece, at that juncture. 6 minutes 23 seconds. A phonebook full of accidents A girl to drive your car A suit to wear on Mondays And a coat a magazine A heavy rain a holiday A painting of the wall A knife, a fork and memories A light to see it all You didn't leave me anything That I can understand It’s pretty great, really great, and then, well, it doesn’t *quite* deliver the money shot. Hey, I never meant that stuff I want to turn you round But then the final, excellent conclusion Now I'm left with all of this A room full of your trash Maybe a touch too much sax, but lovely. The band that refuses to be a rock pop band makes an almost perfect rock pop album. I'm pretty sure my first band started almost right after this. I couldn't play for shit, but then, I didn't NEED to.

Their satanic majesties request- the rolling stones

The Stones go psychadelic, had never really explored this one before recently. They didn’t really explore this stuff further after this album and the album was the panned as a rip off of those trends of the time and the what the Beatles had done, but still give this a listen, cool stuff. This is what digging into discographies and less popular stuff is all about, finding these fun one offs.

MINK DEVILLE - “‘A‘ TRAIN LADY”

A STONE COLD NEW YORK CITY CLASSIC. LOU REED IS GOD BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BETTER THAN “WALK ON THE WILD SIDE”. IT’S MADE WITH THE SAME INGREDIENTS. THAT SWEET-TOOTHED DOO WOP LILT, THAT JUNKED OUT SWAGGER, THOSE CHURCHY BACKING VOCALS, THAT BIG APPLE SAXOPHONE… THIS SONG IS SO NEW YORK IT’S LIKE LICKING THE ENTIRETY OF THE PAVEMENT THAT MAKES UP 14TH STREET AND THEN USING ABEL FERRARA‘S TOOTHBRUSH TO CLEAN YOUR MOUTH BEFORE SNIPING DOWN A PLAIN SLICE. AND THOSE LYRICS. MY GOD. REMEMBER THAT ONE MOMENT WHEN YOU SAW THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE FOR THE FIRST AND LAST TIME ON A SUBTERRANEAN SUBWAY PLATFORM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 14th AND 59th? YOU BLINKED AND THEY LEFT. YOU WENT BACK TO CONSUMING 500,000 IMAGES AND 2000 MG OF CAFFEINE PER DAY, WONDERING WHY YOU FEEL ANXIOUS AND SELF DIAGNOSING ADHD. BUT THE MEMORY REMAINS. IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. BUT YOU WON’T DO ANYTHING WILL YOU?

SONNY ROLLINS - EAST BROADWAY RUN DOWN

THIS ISN’T JAZZ…THIS IS PURE METROPOLITAN SOUND MATTER. SONNY ROLLINS ON IMPULSE WITH FREDDIE HUBBARD, ELVIN JONES AND JIMMY GARRISON BEHIND AND BESIDE HIM. IS THIS THE FURTHEST “OUT” SONNY ROLLINS EVER WENT? MAYBE. BUT THOSE QUESTIONS ARE FOR GUYS WITH SOUL PATCHES AND KNIT “WORLD MUSIC” STYLE CAPS. NOT ME. ELVIN JONES PLAYS HIS DRUMS LIKE GOD PLAYS WATER… STRAIGHT LIQUID…TOTAL FLOW. LATE 2010s. I LIVED ON MOTT STREET. I WALKED TO EAST BROADWAY. I NOTICED THE YOUTH. THEY TURNED 18 AND EITHER CHOSE “KIDS” (1995) OR “TRAINSPOTTING” (1996) AS THEIR IDENTITY. SONNY ROLLINS WOULD EXIT THE SCENE AFTER THIS RECORD FOR 6 YEARS. I WONDER IF HE WILL BE PRACTICING ON THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE TOMORROW MORNING WHILE SOME DRUNKEN CANAL TYPE KID PASSES HIM, PHONE IN HAND, EN ROUTE TO DROP $12.99 FOR A COFFEE WITH RARE NUT MILK. WILL THEY LEAVE THE CUSTOMARY 25% TIP FOR THE MISERABLE BARISTA? WILL THAT PORCHES CHAP BE THERE? HE IS EVERYWHERE. I’M NEVER TIPPING AGAIN.

JON GIBSON - “TWO SOLO PIECES”

TWO  SLABS OF CLASSIC DOWNTOWN MINIMALISM FROM THE LONG TIME PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE MEMBER.  I WRITE THIS TO YOU STATIONED AT AN ALBANIAN CAFE IN TORONTO’S EAST END. THEY HAVE MASSIVE 4K SCREENS SHOWING THE PRODUCTION OF SAVORY CRÊPES IN GROTESQUE DIGITAL DETAIL. THERE IS AN EDM COVER OF LINKIN PARK’S “NUMB” PLAYING. WHAT A HIDEOUS DESCRIPTION.  BUT I RETURN DAILY.  THEY PULL ESPRESSO SHOTS WITH CREMA THAT IS SO THICK YOU COULD DROP A MARBLE ONTO IT AND IT WOULD STRETCH DOWN SIX INCHES WITHOUT BREAKING AND THROW THE MARBLE BACK AT YOU WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT IT WOULD HIT YOU IN THE FACE AND LEAVE AN EXIT WOUND THE SIZE OF A COOKIE AT THE BACK OF YOUR SKULL.  BUT TODAY I NEED TO FOCUS. SO I PUT ON JON GIBSON’S “TWO SOLO PIECES”.  GIBSON WAS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE. THIS WAS RELEASED ON PHIL’S CHATHAM SQUARE LABEL IN 1978.  THE FIRST SIDE, “CYCLES” IS A LONG, IMMENSE AND ENVELOPING DRONE PIECE PERFORMED ON A CHURCH ORGAN.  PLAY IT LOUD ENOUGH AND IT WILL RE-PLASTER YOUR WALLS.  SIDE TWO IS AN UNTITLED SOLO EXCURSION ON ALTO FLUTE THAT WANDERS, LOOPS, CYCLES AND DANCES LIKE AN ARPEGGIATED SYMPHONY OF THOSE THOUGHT BUBBLES THAT APPEAR IN THE LIMINAL PRE-DREAM SLUMBER ZONE.  MUSIC TO GET LOST IN.  MUSIC THAT DOESN’T MOVE.   NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY. JUST PUT IT ON.  PLAY SIDE ONE VERY LOYD.  TURN SIDE TWO DOWN TO THE LEVEL WHERE IT IS BARELY AUDIBLE…JUST ABOVE THE THRESHOLD OF AUDIBILITY.  PREPARE GREEN TEA, BUT NOT LIKE A BLOODY AMERICAN. USE LOOSE LEAF. STEEP ONLY MOMENTARILY IN WATER THAT IS JUST BELOW THE BOILING POINT. THE ENTIRE GOAL IS TO SIMPLY STAIN THE WATER WITH TEA. THAT’S IT. STOP DOING SO MUCH. STOP GOING OVERBOARD. RELAX. YOU ARE DOING TOO MUCH. YOU AREN’T AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR OVERPAID THERAPIST MAKES YOU THINK ARE. THIS IS A GOOD THING.  HOW CAN YOU BE A MAIN CHARACTER IN A PICTURE STARRING AN ENSEMBLE CAST OF THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF HUMANITY?  REST IN PEACE JON GIBSON.
