Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (3 Viewers)

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 597:

A. Art Rock, etc.

The Simple Truth -- Shiner

This is the song I said I would add to this playlist next time it was rolled, and the dice apparently wanted me to do so right away. This is another track from the alt/art/space/post-hardcore band Shiner's fourth album The Egg, which kind of sounds like Radiohead in spots. Allmusic calls the song their "magnum opus," so I guess it's worthy of being on a playlist called Art Rock or whatever.

B. Short Skirt, Long Jacket*

Peacock Suit -- Paul Weller

* - krista: Shorr Skirr, Long Jacker

That was an old Bill Cosby bit, if I'm not mistaken. Him at the dentist unable to pronounce anything while they shoved stuff in his mouth. 

Which leads me to say that they should have hit something painful.

If this is me soon, I will not be happy. I've had a upper back molar that has been sensitive on and off for about 4 months now if I bite something hard sometimes. It isn't always, and it isn't sensitive to hot or cold, and it didn't ache...until...I had my teeth cleaned two weeks ago, and I asked my dentist to check my bite to see if I was hitting too high on that molar that feels weird occasionally if I bite something hard. This dentist took over for my dentist that retired, and I do not like him. He gave me bells palsy once by hitting me in the wrong nerve while trying to numb me. I drooled out of the side of my mouth and couldn't close my eye for hours. He said he didn't have an answer for it. The answer is he hit me in the wrong f'ing nerve. <_<   I would have never gone back to him, but his hygienist that cleans my teeth is so great. She is the best I've ever had. I told her she should go to dental school. Anyway, he said he would check my bite, and had me tap on that piece of paper. He said he does see some pressure spots. He used that loud shaving tool on three places on my top molar and once on the molar below it. He didn't have me tap again on a new piece of paper to see if he got it right. Fast forward two weeks to now, and that tooth now aches at different times. It never did that before. I called the dentist office, and told his asst that it feels like my tooth is bruised, and can the Dr recheck my bite, because he never had me tap again after the first time. She said he never checks it a second time, and he said I need to see an endodontist. I'm like what? My old dentist always had me tap again. Anyway, I have to go an endodontist late tomorrow to have that tooth checked to see if I might need a root canal. I'm hoping the dentist just screwed up my bite. Ugh.

Scraping Teeth live 1993

I think the worst band should be awarded to someone who's not trying to be bad.

Maybe prison has changed his perspective on having stuff shoved in his mouth.

I used to have a hygienist that talked non-stop, and she talked with her hands, so it took her forever to clean my teeth.

Wow didn’t even think to look up that song. Seemed pretty random and yeah botched the name a bit there.

I remember picking it for clothes after a recent run on Rockabilly had put it in my head.  It was a tough call between the original and Robert Gordon's cover.

The song is cool daddio.

I don't know why I love that movie, but I do. It's so... Altman. Also, Ronee Blakely was gorgeous and had a great voice, she should have been a huge star.

boss

Throwing flags for cross-decade lingo. You're probably right, but I wanted to throw that flag regardless. 

Detox at the flop house no booze allowed
Remember the good old days with the rockabilly crowd
Memphis is where he's from (out in Tennessee)
He lives in the street but he's no bum
He's the rockabilly star from the days of old
He used to have teeth all filled with gold
He got platinum voice but only gold records
On the bass (was Boots), on the drums (was Checkers)
Louis Vuitton with the Gucci guitar
Johnny Ryall
Who do you think you are? 

 

[Eephus]

I am NOT clicking on that, no matter what their intent was. 

Based on a few needle drops, Scraping Teeth is not too far removed from what Flipper was doing ten years earlier but there has to be a song in there somewhere or else it's Metal Machine Music which has also been done.  They'd probably be fun to watch at a Punk dive with the audience throwing stuff.

Not on Spotify.

Nashville is the culmination of Altman's incredible five year run of films in the early 70s.  If it was made today, it would take a ten show season to tell the stories without saying half as much as the film did in 160 min.

and 

Tennessee Waltz (live) - Leonard Cohen  (Tennessee)

 

[rockaction]

Round 598

Category: Art Rock, Post Rock, Kraut Rock, Radiohead

Song: Program 

Artist: Silver Apples 

One of the somewhat buried stories of experimental music that I happen to have become privy to in the past five years. The Silver Apples were a duo that used oscillation machines and a drum kit to create futuristic yet primitive beats, drones, and sounds. They had a brief renaissance in Germany in the mid-'90s because of their musical tendencies towards drone and Kraut Rock. I'd put them firmly in the art rock camp, as they were one of the first "popular" acts to use electronic music outside of academia, according to Wikipedia. 

Whatever its label, it's engrossing. 

Round 598b 

Category: Art Rock, Post Rock, Kraut Rock, Radiohead

Song: Hard Coming Love 

Artist: The United States of America

Before there was PUSA, there was just TUSA, an experimental group that also used electronic music. They had a brief go of it in the late '60s, around the same time as the Apples did. 

Round 598c

Category: Art Rock, Post Rock, Kraut Rock, Radiohead

Song: Knife Prty

Artist: Deftones

A much more mainstream offering, but art rock none the less for it.
