Celebrating 4/20 with The Happening. how was this not up for an Oscar??

From Wikipedia: Joseph J. Foy, professor of politics and popular culture, describes Shyamalan's film as an expression of "post-environmentalism" in which traditional paradigmatic politics are replaced with a call for the world to "embrace a revolutionary reevaluation of wealth and prosperity not in terms of monetary net worth or material possessions, but in terms of overall well-being". Foy praises the highly complex narrative in which Shyamalan weaves contemporary environmental challenges with hard science and social theory to create a "nightmarish future that... may advance the type of dialogue that can truly change the cultural conversation"

Indeed, Joseph. Indeed.

@otb_liferper a discussion we had, and just in general...

Listening to Damned Damned Damned right now. I did not know that guitarist Brian James wrote most of the songs. No wonder they changed so fundamentally when he left after that album.

James actually hung around for their loooong forgotten second album "Music For Pleasure" ... it is the great Damed artifact, lesser known than any in their now vast catalog.

think much of that has to do with the curiously facacta cover, which is as polar opposite of their debut as one could get.

chalk it up to folks fingering past it in the bins ... dunno, i just recall that my first exposure to it was by happenstance, as i tossed it over and actually saw the artist/song titles :shrug:

nonetheless, it really is the perfect bridge between the remarkable debut and the brilliance of MGE - coupla songs here Stretcher Case & Problem Child (opting for this vid with the wrong album cover over the live version) are better than just about everything on Dx3 - matter of fact, they coulda just nuked "Feel the Pain" and replaced the time alotted with these 2 ... would've made Dx3 best of the class of '76.

more oddity of MFP - it was produced by Nick Mason (yes, the Floyd drummer) ... can you imagine? here's a chap from a band most notorious for being the key noodlers the punx were setting alight (Rotten's infamous "I HATE Pink Floyd" t-shirt) - strange bedfellows, indeed. gotta wonder how ol' Nick first reacted to being presented with a 1:52 length song as finished product ... hell, there are Floyd songs that take that long just to warm up, so to speak.

the 2 tracks i posted are the absolute apex of the James era, the rest of the platter is uneven and spotty - they added a 2nd guitarist, and some saxy forays ... maybe it wasn't all just the nondescript (albeit busy) cover after all ...

(btw, Rotten/Lydon has long since abandoned that stance, and counts Gilmour amongst his circle of acquaintances).

rockaction said:
Cause what an act they were. They must have blown minds in the seventies with their original lineup. Somehow, someway, even though I've heard it thousands of times, "Neat Neat Neat" and this album hold up better to me than even The Ramones. That's a tall order. It still scorches.

yep, it's perfect ... matter of fact, all 3 eponymous debuts (Dx3 & "The Clash" & "Ramones") hold up remarkably well on the sonic level, though all 3 lacking the slick polish of "Bollocks" ... interestingly enough, both the Damed & the Clash had 2nd releases that were met with some dubious reception ("Give 'em Enough Rope" mirrors "Music for Pleasure" in the long forgotten/overlooked category) ... then they both blew the doors off it all with their '79 releases (MGE, "London Calling").

i much preferred the route the Damned took as opposed to the Clash ... their Goff/Pop period was a highlight of the 80s for me ... songs like "Eloise" and "Shadow of Love" are so bombastic and over the top - campy as ####! hell, you'll even spy Scabies in a puffy shirt (predating Seinfeld by some 7 or so years).

and unapologetically British ... if the Cramps & the Misfits were the embodiment of 50s/60s sci-fi/horror B movie schlock, then the Damned were Hammer Horror to the Nth ... Christopher Lee, baby!

Vanian even went so far as to recruit his wife, Patricia Morrison (Big Sister Patti), as bassist for a spell ... she was late of the Andrew Eldritch version of Sisters of Mercy - which ties into the recently topical Jim Steinman, as he produced their ridiculously ostentatious opus This Corrosion <---- (80s masterwork of song/vid/style).

the Damed are a treasure. period.

conversely, i grew weary of Joe and Mick's constant need to bombard us with masturbatory sludge (i'm looking right at YOU "Sandinista"!) - i mean, i dug quite a bit of their forays into World and Dub and Reggae ... but they seemed to have an incessant need to prove just how wordly and revolutionary they were (in their own eyes and egos, for the most part).

one has to weed through too much filler to find the killer on their later efforts ... i'll always love them because their best is as good as any of the genre, but, man ... it got rough.

btw, have you heard of the Jam?

("Setting Sons" might be the best of '79).

Yeah, the movie was just terrible. You know what's strange about that, though? Amidst how terrible the film was, I remember being really damn creeped out by it later, which, if you're judging a B-movie horror film, is about as good as it can get. I just remember allowing myself to think, "What if?"

If you allow yourself a huge amount of suspension of disbelief, you can come away with that, I guess.

Another instance where I LOL at myself. Such a stupid movie. The trees whispering in the breeze. Argy bargy.

btw, have you heard of the Jam? ("Setting Sons" might be the best of '79).

Oh yeah, knew of Music For Pleasure. I think I'm on the board here as calling MGE their third somewhere. I've never heard the second album, though. Just sort of missed it. Interesting. I wonder why it's not ever pumped as the true second Damned album. I guess sometimes that happens, but that is especially strange given the strength of their first. Probably should have watched the documentary Eephus recommended. Might have known James stuck around for that album. At least he wasn't conscripted for the Captain's "Wot." That might have broken him.

After listening, I think you're right about "Problem Child" and "Don't Cry Wolf" fitting in with the Damned Damned Damned album. They'd need to speed it up about by half, though. Sounds slowed down, but with the bar chords and bombast intact. Very similar song structures. The almost slide guitar of "One Way Love" marks a bit of a departure, but the ones that follow it are pretty Damned Damned Damned sounding. Sped up (again) they would have fit on that album, if but for the cliche-sounding titled lyrics that take "aim" at hardly outre subjects, like "Idiot Box." Criticizing television? How radical! Johnny pissed off the Queen, don't you know? The album is probably not so well-known because the Sex Pistols had so thoroughly captured England at the time and were more on the lips of everyone. That's what I'd guess.

As far as the Jam goes, I had a compilation back in the day and hated it. I'd purchased it after hearing them on the Rhino compilations. I much more liked their "In The City" record as a record after you pushed back on that assessment than their greatest "hits" that were compiled on the best of. That's about it. I love the Who-sounding embellishments of that album. As they move on from punk towards poppier (?), more involved stuff, they lose me. But that's only after one comp and all I listened to was sped-up punk at the time, so throw any nuance or wrench into it, and you lost me, so who knows? Maybe a second listen would do it justice, though I tried to go back through their catalog after "In The City" and didn't dig it. But I don't dig a lot of the English punk bands circa 1978, so there's that.

Listened to almost the whole of Music For Pleasure since I began typing. It's a worthy successor, but lacks the energy and the freshness of the first. Perhaps because they were cutting an album so damn close to the sun? That's a tough thing to replicate, the utter speed and bombast of the first, just a year later (or that same year, really). Anyway, enough on my end. Glad you got me to check it out. It's a good album, all things considered.

Round 323.xx

Category: Guitar Hero

Song: Revolution

Artist: Spacemen 3

Perhaps this would have fit better in the riff or political category, but I love the layers of guitar in the intro, the drone that continues, and the staccato of the lead guitar breaking the drone, even if they don't really ever wank into a true solo. The abrasiveness of the treble from the staccato guitar certainly cuts the attempt at drone that happens within the song.

It's really an immersive song and a challenging one, but it's worth it. I dig it. Love the sort of drone and lead freak out at the end.

I see a change coming round the bend
And I suggest to you
That it takes just five seconds
Just five seconds...
Of decision
To realize that the time is right
To start thinking about a little...

James uses almost a contrapuntal guitar attack in what must be an overdub, as he's the only guy credited on the track. Maybe I'm ahead of my pay grade with the whole counterpoint identification, but regardless, when punk met guys who could play you got stuff like the Dead Boys' Cheetah Chrome and The Sex Pistols' Steve Jones. Here's another.

For the bonus tonight (yeah, I've got one) I'll pick a pre-punk guitar fest. Totes rockin'.

Here's a 1932 recipe for eel pie in case the channel has whet your appetite

Ingredients

    Puff pastry
    Thames eels 2
    hard-boiled eggs
    shallots 2 small ones
    butter ½ oz.
    parsley a small ###### chopped
    nutmeg
    pepper
    salt
    and sherry 2 glasses
    water.

For the sauce

    butter 2 oz.
    flour 2 oz.
    lemon the juice of a whole one.

Method

Skin, cleanse and bone two Thames eels.
Cut these in pieces.
Chop the shallots; pass them in butter for 5 or 6 minutes and then add to them a small ###### of parsley chopped, with nutmeg, pepper, salt, and two glasses of sherry.
In the midst of this place the eels, add enough water to cover them, and set them on the fire to boil.
When they have boiled up, take out the pieces of eel and keep them hot.
Strain the stock in which they were cooked.
Melt the butter and add the flour in the usual way for a foundation sauce.
Add the strained stock, beat quite smooth, boil up and finish with the juice of a whole lemon.
Arrange the pieces of eel, and quarters of hard-boiled eggs in a piedish.
Pour the sauce over it, and when cold, roof the pie with puff pastry.
Bake in a hot oven at first, to raise the pastry and then in a cooler one, one hour all told.

No guitar hero bonus tonight. I wasn't aware that we weren't retiring it. So...how about some Eel Pie stuff

Round 324.Bonus

The Who - Circles

The Kinks - Nothin' In The World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl

The Who cut a slice of pre-psychedelia from the My Generation outtakes. The Kinks one is straight out of the movie Rushmore. I think I spend my twenty-fifth year completely stoned all year, watching that and The Big Lebowski on a loop with friends. Every damn Friday and Saturday night. Our apartment. Their apartment. Back again to ours. We're out of weed. How do we get some? (It was very illegal then.)

I matured late. Heh.

It occurred to me that I didn't remember seeing this one, so I did a search 16 times and it didn't come up. Is that possible? Is it just so obvious that no one touched it?

323.k4 The Kinks - The Village Green Preservation Society (Eel Pie)

No one touched it. I was saving it for The Beeb.

Does everyone but me hate this album or something? I just noticed that almost no songs from it have been selected. So here's another:

324.k4 The Kinks - Do You Remember Walter? (Eel Pie)

I took Animal Farm for Morning Zoo and someone took Picture Book for bass. Maybe everyone thinks it's too obvious?

I took Picture Book. As I mentioned upthread, I seem to always take something from the album or take the album itself -- or I always comment how much I like it -- so I was avoiding it.
