currently spinning: The Electric Banana - Rave Up With The Electric Banana





This is actually The Pretty Things, they recorded a bunch of tracks as The Electric Banana to be used in movies and to make a little money on the side. Despite sharing roots with the Rolling Stones, recording one of the best psych rock albums of the late 60's (SF Sorrow), and being championed by Bowie, they never really made the big time.

For Labor Day I was searching for some music consistent with the working people theme. Nothing seemed to hit the spot, so I went with Unicorn doing a David Gilmore tune.

Shinybeast - nice tip on The Electric Banana/The Pretty Things. Gonna check 'em out some more!

As for a Labor Day song. I make a point of listening to this one a few times every Labor Day:



Funny a few years back when a music crit article coined "Wyatting" as playing somewhat experimental, emotionally heavy music on jukeboxes in bars or similar to irritate people or make them uncomfortable. Sad, cause Robert Wyatt is really pretty squared with any bar-goer! It's the jazziness maybe?

Russel I love that Toast track you posted - I'm a sucker for those slow-tempo'd dubstep releases with lot's and lot's of bass. I wish to God I could hear that on a large, crisp soundsystem. I'm thinking it would make my nose hairs tingle.


This Labor Day weekend Ray and I took a romantic trip and got a hotel on Ft. Lauderdale beach to play among the surfers, tourists and 'kids', so this sounded especially good driving down in the car, with the top down:

Greatest Hits by James Taylor



What a voice, eh? My favorite is 'Something In The Way She Moves', the lyrics and his delivery have a plush, romantic elegance to it that only a few singers achieve while making it sound so easy.

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

And when I search a faceless crowd
A swirling mass of gray and black and white
They don't look real to me
In fact, they look so strange

Raise your glass to the hard working people
Let's drink to the uncounted heads
Let's think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio

And when I look in the faceless crowd
A swirling mass of grays and black and white
They don't look real to me
Or don't they look so strange

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth

Let's drink to the hard working people
Let's drink to the salt of the earth
Let's drink to the two thousand million
Let's think of the humble of birth

Lets raise our drink
To the salt of the earth
Lets raise our drink
To the salt of the earth

Glad you enjoyed it. I did like some of the earlier dubstep, grime, UKG, etc at the time and Toasty/Hotflush were pretty neat.

"Y.G.H." from Villalobo's Alcachofa, possibly the most influential minimal techno record of the 00's...



#1 on the Top Ten albums of 2003 for De:Bug
#1 on the Top Ten albums of 2003 on Groove
#1 on the Top Ten albums of 2003
#1 on the Top 100 Albums of the 2000s for Resident Advisor.
#6 on the Top Albums of the 2003 for New York Pitchfork

Form Ornholt...

Make no mistake: Alcachofa is one of the 21st century's most important albums. It finds Villalobos establishing a whole new grammar for house music. The trippy, tracky tracks validate beautifully Eno’s idea that “repetition is a form of change”, and mood-wise they reject house’s default setting of studied euphoria in favour of something altogether more ambiguous and disquieting. Though it's an undeniably minimalist work, Alcachofa has an expansive, macroscopic quality missing from the more fussy, fractal work which would follow on Perlon.

My best friend who introduced me to Arthur Russel's music eight years ago got some heavy news recently and is shutting friends out to try to cope. Playing this while my thoughts are with him.

Word. I'd recommend Get the Picture? and SF Sorrow by The Pretty Things. Electric Banana stuff is hard to come by, but it's out there.

I dig it, nice post. Found a sealed copy on ebay for $60, sigh. Seems it's a 3LP, they show up rarely and they always seem to be spendy.

currently listening: Jonathan Halper - Leaving My Old Life Behind / I am a Hermit





These are the only known recordings and this is close to the best sound quality as is known to exist. Kenneth Anger (occultists, artist, eccentric) upon hearing these songs, removed the original soundtrack from his short film "Puce Moment" and replaced it with these two songs. If anybody knows anything about the guy who recorded the music, they're not saying. All we have are these two Syd Barrett-esque tracks, the dude's supposed name, and a whole lot of speculation and occultist folklore.
