AD: You Could Do Worse
A busy time here at I-L-Edit-Central. Anne and I returned from
Chicago only to throw ourselves into (a) work [oy!] and (b) putting
the final touches on this issue. This resulted in a slight delay in
this issue's release (sound familiar? Sorry...)
While there will be several trips to the Big City in the next month,
Anne and I are throwing ourselves into getting issues out more
regularly. Look for a Monday/Thursday release schedule - or
thereabouts, depending on traffic.
Enough apologizing.
While in Chicago, I got to catch portions of a couple fine shows...
On Friday, I caught Craw and Dis- at the Empty Bottle. Dis- have been
getting some high recommendations of late, both on the 'net and in the
more traditional print avenues. It's warranted. They put together a
fine set of that sort of sound one now expects to hear from
short-haired guys from the big cities. Driven by rhythm in the
guitar, this sound manages to be tricky and intelligent and loud
without any pretension. And yes, there's a bit of the influence of
that band whose name began with S and who have an excellent eponymous
EP just issued. For lack of a better word, the music sounds
"educated". And in my mind, that means recommended.
I wish I could say the same for Craw. Craw reminded me of local
(Bloomington, IN) players Pencil, but do parts of them one-up. Where
in Pencil I'm most intrigued by the guitar sound (a clangy Big Black-y
sort of noise that will bring me alive in no time), Craw's strong
point seemed to be their rhythm section, who threw together complex
beats and added to them measure by measure to great effect. But the
vocalist is a shameless David Yow influencee. Too bad he isn't a GOOD
Yow influencee.
Next night I managed to catch Gastr del Sol at Lounge Ax. If Dis-
sound educated, GdS have a couple doctoral dissertations under
their hat at this point. Not as overtly "musical" as Dis-, Gastr
produced another fine set of sounds from unmanipulated acoustic
guitars (which brings out a real Fripp element to their sound),
lightly amped electrics, an accordian, and our friend the
shortwave. Their set ranged across their two released albums as
well as a couple tracks from their soon to be released new issue.
And onward, to better writers--

** Beck "One Foot in the Grave" LP (K records) *
Can we talk about Beck? I mean, really: Can we talk about Beck, just
for a coupla minutes?
The reason for my caution here is that I seem to remember there being
quite a bit of anti-Beck diatribes a short while ago in the I-L, in
particular one guy practically daring the pro-Beckers to dial him up
at his cyber-home if they questioned the veracity of his "Beck as
Corporate Invention" argument... All of which made some of us --
okay, maybe only me -- chuckle a bit at how people can get themselves
worked into quite a tizzy if they really set their minds to it.
I remember seeing Beck a long time ago opening for Lois at L.A.'s
Jabberjaw, a hayseed with an attitude that no one knew, a guy who
seemed to just appear on stage cuz no one had bothered to stop him.
My first impression was that here was one of those wacky folkies
whohad listened to a bit too much Dr. Demento in his youth.. he did
not impress. I didn't think about him much until the local punk-radio
station and the local NPR-outlet BOTH started playing one of his
songs... and from there, a crazy kind of buzz was -- depending on
your ideological perspective -- eitherdeveloped "organically" or was
more than helped along by the efforts of certain DGC corporate
marketing scientists.
Lost amidst all the inevitable "voice of the Slacker generation" media
hoopla, top-10 Billboard charting, and indie-backlash was the fact
that well, Beck's "Loser" is a pretty great song, IF -- and tht's a
big "if" -- taken in small doses. The DGC album "Mellow Gold" was
itself a pleasant surprise, full of invention and risk-taking, and
provided some sort of evidence that while Beck might need a good
editor now and then("like a giant dildo crushing ths sun"??? -- come
on--), he had more in common with "corporate" rockers Capt. Beefheart
or Tom Waits than he had in common with fellow Geffen corporate
rockers Nelson.
Now we have a new Beck lp straight outta Calvin K-records -- entitled
"One Foot in the Grave" -- and once again, it's time to step back and
evaluate what this guy is up to.
(First off -- I don't know what or where these songs came from, when
they were recorded, etc. One rumor is that Beck recorded 100 -plus
songs for the DGC lp and these are the rejected cuts... and
apparently there's still another lp coming from Flipside. I have no
idea if this is true..or if these songs were recorded before he signed
to DGC or what... In the end, I don't think it really matters.)
What we do get is a lot of good stuff. 16 songs... mostly folksy and
countryish and bluesish...no hip-hop beats... some noise-squawk
freakouts... generally minimal instrumentation. Many tunes are
quiet, meditative, campfire downers/comforters ("See Water", "Hollow
Log"). There's a coupla duets with producer Mr. Johnson ("I get
Lonesome" and the lp-closing, very Beat Happening "Atmospheric
Conditions"). There's some songs that seem like they might be trad
folk tunes ("He's a Mighty Good Leader", "Fourteen Rivers Fourteen
Floods"), some really catchy gems ("Cyanide Breath Mint", "Painted
Eyelids", and especially "Asshole"), and a coupla VU-type double
haunting vocal numbers ("Forcefield" and "Outcome").
Yes, many of the lyrics are as full of the sometimes annoying
non-sequitors on the this lp as on the big-league recording. But
don't let that bring you down, man... the real story here is the
startling emotional range of these songs, and the way that Beck's
voice throughtout is almost disturbingly world-weary, a voice well
beyond his years but not beyond his artistic grasp. It's an approach
that offers a refreshing respite from the seemingly regulation-issue,
non-singing tunelessness-as-authentic-emoting that we seem to be
hearing so much of these days in the indie-world.

Man or Astroman 8/3 show review
Man or Astroman show with review:
Saw them on 8.3.94 at the Thirsty Swede in SF's Upper Haight district,
and boy did they kick.
Before I swandive proper into my thoughts concerning Man or Astroman,
I think it's only fair that I admit to arriving kind of late, so I
missed most of the Highlander 2 set-- four guys in matching kilts
playing out-of-tune dreck for the two songs I did catch. After some
waiting, local neo-punkers The Swinging Udders (minus Johnny Peabucks)
mounted the dinky stage and lashed out at the world in their usual
driving way. I like the Swinging Udders, but they seem to be almost a
caricature of the original "hard core" bands after which they model
themselves; they don't embody the true anger and angst of the Minor
Threats of the world. I read the local rag, SF Weekly, while they
jumped and shouted their way through a 30-minute set.
Now, on to the stars of the evening, Man or Astroman:
Try imagining a loosey-goosey Devo, performing surf music from
outerspace, with a rich sense of humor, and the abandon of a punk band
(with none of the sneering of course), and you'll land in Man or
Astroman's ballpark. Despite the short set length--only an hour due
to strings of powerstrips causing city-wide brownouts while insatiably
sucking watts from the same one or two outlets--the four guys from
Alabama rocked the crowd. I had to laugh while some women shrieked
like swooning Beatles fans during first two numbers. I mean, the
songs were short, but really, screaming for four or five straight
minutes? Anyway, Coco, the ostensible front man played in an orange
jumpsuit and a white helmet sprouting whirly plastic tubes, while the
other guys wore an eclectic mix of thriftstore kitch. One of my
favorite lines of the night was the guitarist's, "We actually sing on
every song, but we do it so fast, you can't hear us." The between-song
antics were delivered in a nudge-nudge-wink-wink way, drawing the
audience into the silliness of it all.
Man or Astroman is much more, though, than a gimmicky surf punk band
from Alabama; they show real talent for performing and entertaining.
The additional trappings like semi-functioning televisions strewn
about the stage, along with the samples fed religiously into the
machinery next to the "Coco 5000" set-up were a bit distracting,
perhaps because of the intermitent power problems the band encountered
during the performance, or quite possibly because of the low-budget
touring operation. While they pogoed off each other and the stage
scenery, the guys pumped up the excitement level of the audience with
their spacemen-cum-surf-punks music. Along with the twangy,
reverb-filled guitar riffs, man or Astroman fill out their sound with
bass (Coco and the Doctor switching instruments with each other),
samples cheesey organ, drums, and other things like broken maracas.
Lyrics? Who needs 'em? I think the only song that sported intelligible
words was the Love Theme from Mystery Science Theatre 3000--packing
energy galore, by the way. At one point, they played the Munsters
theme while their intrepid roadie (someone's little brother, I think)
traced down one of the recurring power outages.
Finally, after an hour of sweating, sharing lines like, "See him <the
drummer>? That's the Alabama 'I'm ready' look," tossing Coco's helmet
into the audience and making the woman who caught it wear it, playing
their instruments while donning TV chasis on their heads, they
declared they smelled smoke ("Earth is such a hot place!") and
abrubtly wrapped up the set. No encores, but plenty of product to be
had at the back of the club. In the end, I highly recommend their CD
"Destroy All Astromen", and urge folks in search of a fun live show to
drop the dough on these deserving Surf Aliens.
Cheers,
Ted Dively

The Mekons, The Troubadour, W. Hollywood, CA 8/10/94
The Mekons, The Troubadour, W. Hollywood, CA 8/10/94
The only band I can think of which might have an alumni association
membership approaching that of U. of Indiana, The Mekons trounced
their way into America once again, artfully juxtaposing a fascination
with American rock and roll culture with a healthy criticism of
American capitalist values. (I dare you to find another band today
with lyrics pairing the gerunds "shopping" and "fucking" in the same
line.)
Ironically bathed in the iconography of the United States Army, The
Mekons delivered a live performance with a ferocity and intensity that
I suppose could only be rivaled by a _London Calling_-era Clash -- a
Clash influenced by The Mekons, mind you. The Mekons also have the
special talent that seems to be unique to our friends across The Pond
-- the ability to yell in three-part harmony, with spittle coming out
of their mouths at constant velocity. (Too bad this energy isn't
replicated in BAD II frontman Mick Jones - although Strummer's still
got some spunk in him.)
>From Sarah asking the audience if anyone had any pot, to the
guitarist stage-left (forgive me for not knowing his name, pls.)
asking if anyone had a "condom-inium" where they could crash for the
evening, the brutal honesty of The Mekons and sense of comraderie you
have with them makes you want you to get them high and take them in.
Discussions with the audience abounded on a variety of topics, from
Woodstock II ("You get shot for bringing in your own sandwich") to
politics (our fair leadership referred to as the Clinton "regime") to
Los Angeles ("You're the cleanest, happiest, most well-formed audience
we've seen all tour"). And they were honest enough to tell a
relatively young, Mekon-neophyte crowd what their songs were, and took
several requests to supplement what seemed to be a set list written in
eraseable ink.
When they played what was referred to as "the first song we ever
wrote", which must date back to '76 or so, it seemed as powerful now
as ever, not dated in the least. Although I'm more familiar with
their newer material, such as "I Love a Millionaire" and "Rock and
Roll," such gems as "The Flame that Ate John Wayne" seemed to sum up
best The Mekons' ambivalent feelings towards American society.
The themes of The Mekons' music -- hope, death, love, unemployment,
frustration, and alienation -- hit you on so many levels, you feel
like going home, drinking shots of whiskey, dusting off your old copy
of _Das Kapital_, and calling in sick to work the next morning. Which
is just about what I did.

Luna/Gigolo Aunts, Hatch Shell, Boston 8/13
The Hatch Shell is outdoors on the banks of the Charles, and it's a
great place to see a show. WFNX puts on these Saturday afternoon free
shows there a few times each summer. This week we got Luna and the
Gigolo Aunts. The Aunts do that 70s retro Guitar Rock thing, but they
do it well, and they do it with a big smile. I've seen them do Cheap
Trick's "Surrender," and introduce it as "This song...is...the first
song...on our new album." A fun show. Go see 'em when they come to
your town.
Luna was really good, as usual. And I wasn't even baked this time,
either. They stuck to the highlights of both albums, and threw in a
few choice covers, including the Talking Heads' "Thank You for Sending
Me an Angel." I didn't notice how uncharacteristically VU that song
was for the Talking Heads until Luna did it. It makes perfect sense
when Luna does it. The skies were threatening all day, and it started
raining late in Luna's set. Dean Wareham said he felt like Keith
Relf. "Anyone know who Keith Relf is?" Dean asks the crowd.
"Yardbirds!" someone yelled. "Where is he now? He died! How?
Electrocuted on stage!" Dean answered. But they were troupers and
played anyway.
BTW, I saw them a few months ago at Venus de Milo, and Wake Ooloo
opened. I hadn't heard of them before, but it turned out to be Dave
Mercer and the other guitar player from the Feelies. Big Feelies
reunion. But they obviously couldn't pull off any Feelies covers
because they didn't have the man who made that band: the
percussionist. The Feelies were on Lettterman a while back and Dave
commented that, God forbid the Feelies should fall on hard times,
because that guy would be the first to go. What happened to him?
Anyone? What about that bass player?
And why can't bass players ever start their own projects? Bass
players seem to leave the most often and disappear the quickest. Oh
yeah, except Kim Deal. And J Robbins from Government Issue, who now
fronts Jawbox. Notice another trend? Seems like nobody really wants
to be a bass player.
Anyway, Luna was a pretty good way to kill a Saturday afternoon.
I'll miss these shows if I move to Chapel Hill. I'm still looking for
advice on what's cool down there. Any input is welcome.

Fiction in song lyrics [Was Magnetic Fields]
Someone wrote:
> Magnetic Fields: ....The lyrics were so sad I almost felt like
> seeking out the woman who broke his heart and killing her.....
As far as I know, no such person exists. Stephin Merritt is gay, has
a boyfriend, and is pretty open about it as well. You might be
confused because the lyrics to the songs generally refer to men and
women, sometimes both, sometimes ambiguous; and over the history of
the band have been sung either by Stephin or a female singer, Susan
Anway. I think the gender fluidity of the lyrics is just part of
Stephin's way of playing with and taking apart the love song form.
You have to take the whole thing as an excercise in fiction, rather
than autobiography. People often assume autobiographical intent far
more in song lyrics than they do in relation to stories and novels,
but there's no intrinsic reason this has to be so.
To take another example, certainly Mountain Goat John Darnielle hasn't
been dumped as many times at the wee age of 25 as his prolific output
of breakup songs would indicate.

Smitten-fat-racer-rev
After lurking for over a year, lots of new CD's have inspired me to
write. Well, here goes:
Mercury Rev - Everlasting Arm/Dead Man (CD5), Big Cat Records
Only two tracks on this one, but a sticker on the front boasting of
over 35 minutes of music (plus the fact that it was new Mercury Rev)
inspired me to buy it. The first track, "Everlasting Arm" is a very
pleasant little ditty and is quite different than some of the noisy
stuff on Boces. This is supposedly from a new album due out later
this fall. "Dead Man" is a 10 minute spoken word track, which is a
reading from a book by Alan Vega called Cripple Nation. I guess
Mercury Rev provides the music in the background which is quite good.
Then, the afformentioned extra music...secret, unreleased bonus
tracks? Nope, just a bunch of tape recordings of little kids, singing,
talking, getting tickled, and consequently laughing. This goes on for
about 25 minutes. I listened to the whole thing once, and probably
never will again.
Boyracer - _More Songs About Frustration and Self Hate_, Slumberland
Records
These guys (and girl) are from England and they have a really great
sound. I have trouble describing their sound (it reminds me of
someone, but I can't think of what). I guess, I might say that they
sound punky in a superchunk sort of vein, but this wouldn't sum it up.
They go punk in lotsa different ways, and all of them are good. Check
this out!
Fat Tulips - Starfish, Vinyl Japan (UK) (281 Camden High Street,
Camden Town, London NW1 7BX, England)
This is great! I guess they have been around for a while, but this is
my first encounter with them. It says in the liner notes that this is
their first and last full length release, which is sad because now I
want more. Drawing comparisons on this one is not that difficult.
I'd say they are in the Heavenly/Tiger Trap vein, but what makes their
sound great is the other effects they use. They use lots of bells,
chimes, and other noises that give their songs a very poppy feel. If
you like Heavenly, Tiger Trap and the like, this is a must have.
_the smitten love song comp._, Karate Brand records (P.O. Box 93296,
Los Angeles, CA 90093-0296)
I'm not sure when this came out, but it is absolutely incredible. The
Jawbreaker song, "Housesitter", (which they played last time I saw
them) makes it worth my ten bucks, but there is so much more! This
also includes the Cherubs doing a cover of the Bow Wow Wow classic "I
want candy". Other standouts include the tracks by Johnboy, Steel
Pole Bath Tub, Distorted Pony, Unwound, Grifters and Beekeeper.
Actually, all of the tracks are good, just in different ways. Another
must buy!
Other great new stuff that I don't have the time to go into great
detail on include: _Rows of Teeth_, Merge Records (WOW! This is
amazing, and great for me since I did not have most of their 7"'s),
_Jabberjaw Compilation_, Mammoth (I guess this is a benefit for the
club Jabberjaw in LA...whatever it is there are some great bands on
this one too!), Beatnik Filmstars _Laid Back and English_ (cool
experimental guitar works...some tracks remind me of Polvo).
Well, that's it for now. Perhaps I will not lurk so long before my
next submission.

ANNOUNCE: Throes (a work in progess)
bits of data that work for INDIE LIST:
DOORIKA PRESENTS:
THROES
a work in progress
THROES, part two of DOORIKA's trilogy Saajury,
is a wet, raucous, orgiastic rock-n-roll youth
delusion.
Original Music by Mark Greenberg of the Coctails
Graphic designs by Doug Huston of the School of the Art Institute of
Chicago.
Costume designs by Heather Priest & Angela DeCarlo.
Limited Engagement at Chicago Filmmakers, 1543 W. Division
Thursday & Friday August 18 & 19, 10pm
Saturday August 27, 8pm, 10pm
The Friday August 19 performance will be followed by live music by
Miam Miam (featuring Chris Holmes of Sabalon Glitz & Joy Gregory of
Tart) and Number One Cup.
THROES is a dense, tight, highly physicalized work-in-progress with a
1950's, Japanese flair - a transition into part three. Where part one
of Saajury concentrated on ritual, illusion and minimalistic silence,
THROES focuses on the contextualization of contemporary issues of
youth culture, lost ideals and the physical and moral devastation that
accompanies it. The work is infused with the iconography of the rock
concert, karaoke, jazz, boxing, and summer surf.
THROES takes as it's point of departure the representation of lost
youth in Nagisa Oshima's 1960 film Cruel Story of Youth, the
nihilistic tone of Shintaro Ishihara's classic book Season of
Violence, and the generation of Sun Tribe filmmakers who questioned,
revered and documented the refluent growth of post WWII Japanese
teenagers.
As a whole, Saajury contemplates structures - of ritual, of
convention, of language - focusing on their breakdown. Inspired by
formal aspects of Japanese popular culture,Saajury explores the
notions of desire, decay and sexuality as tradition and as rebellion.
DOORIKA is a not-for-profit organization supported in part by the
Illinois Arts Council.
