Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable

Directed by: Ronald Namet, 1966


Music:
- (indistinguishable rumble)
- 'I'll Be Your Mirror' (cut)
- 'Venus In Furs' from the Columbus Valleydale Ballroom 1966-11-04 tape version
- 'It Was a Pleasure Then' from Nico's Chelsea Girl LP
- 'European Son' from The Velvet Underground & Nico LP

Cast:
- The Velvet Underground & Nico:
- John Cale (vocals, organ)
- Sterling Morrison (rhythm guitar)
- Maureen Tucker (bass guitar)
- Angus McLise (drums)
- Gerard Malanga: Dancer
- Ingrid Superstar: Dancer

This show was without Lou Reed who was at New York's Beth Israel Hospital for hepatitis, and without Nico who took off for Ibiza at the beginning of June (1966). John Cale on lead vocals and keyboards, Sterling Morrison on guitar, Maureen Tucker on bass, and Angus MacLise was on drums.

EPI is an experience, not an idea.
The ethos of the entire pop life-style seems to be synthesized in Nameth's dazzling kinaesthetic masterpiece. Here, form and content are virtually synonymous, and there is no misunderstanding what we see. It's as though the film itself has exploded and reassembled in a jumble of shards and prisms. Gerard Malanga and Ingrid Superstar dance frenetically to the music of the Velvet Underground (Heroin, European Son, and a quasi-East Indian composition), while their ghost images writhe in Warhol's Vinyl projected on a screen behind.

Watching the film is like dancing in a strobe room: time stops, motion retards, the body seems separate from the mind. The screen bleeds onto the wall, the seats. Flak bursts of fiery explode with slow fury. Staccato strobe guns stitch galaxies of silverfish over slow-motion, stop-motion close-ups of the dancers' dazed ecstatic faces. Nameth does with cinema what the Beatles do with music: his film is dense, compact, yet somehow fluid and light. It is extremely heavy, extremely fast, yet airy and poetic, a mosaic, a tapestry, a mandala that sucks you into its whirling maelstrom.

The art of Tuvan throat singing is a style in which one or more pitches sound simultaneously over a fundamental pitch, producing a unique sound.

At the beginning of his career at the end of the Soviet era, the ideology department of the Tuvan Communist Party was less than thrilled when Kuvezin picked up the electric guitar and started singing. As a little boy, he had been thrown out of the choir and told to never sing again. It wasn’t until the sounds of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, and Slayer reached his homeland of Tuva—a remote area of southern Siberia nestled between the Altai and Sayan Mountains—that Kuvezin found the musical bridge between his voice, his heritage, and the universe.

BOWIE 1965! ★ David Bowie

BOWIE 1965! ★
Released for Record Store Day 20 Apr 2013.  Reissue of  a 4-track limited 7” which collects together both of the singles Bowie released in 1965, with The Manish Boys and The Lower Third.  Not released in the US or Canada, EU release exclusively.  Sent to me my a mysterious friend and lets thank that person who did those great hd cover scans.

Tracklist:
A1 Pity The Fool [The Manish Boys]
A2 Take My Tip [The Manish Boys]
B1 You've Got A Habit Of Leaving [Davy Jones (& The Lower Third)]
B2 Baby Loves That Way [Davy Jones (& The Lower Third)]


Side One gives you the single released by Bowie's group of the time The Manish Boys - first up a version of Bobby Bland's "I Pity The Fool" which features a blistering guitar solo from Jimmy Page. Next up is the first Bowie song to make it onto vinyl - the distinctly Mod-flavoured "Take My Tip". Side Two has our man billed as Davy Jones & The Lower Third - and the tracks on offer here are firstly "You've Got A Habit Of Leaving" - which if it sounds slightly Who-ish should be too surprising as it's produced by Shel Talmy who was producing both bands at the time - and again featuring a Jimmy Page solo. The proceeding are rounded off with "Baby Loves That Way" another Bowie original and somewhat typical of the period.

PUCE MOMENT | Kenneth Anger

Kenneth Angers experimental films were probably the first I'd ever seen, I still find them as amazing as I did then.  He predicted his own death Halloween 2008 (while we all waited for Halloween eve to see what might happen).  No, he's still here, calling upon the powers of darkness and concentrating his powers upon that future meeting with Aleister Crowley.

PUCE MOMENT
Kenneth Anger | 1949 | re-released in 1966 with a psychedelic folk-rock soundtrack performed by otherwise unknown Jonathan Halper.

It was Wednesday, I was bored

Somehow my footsteps managed to find their way over here again.  I was bored, it was Wednesday and it was cold and grey and I felt like doing absolutely nothing. Think hard, pause, scrunch one eye close.  And then I'm here again re-upping those current posts you might have kicked when you found the link was dead and within the next day or two have something new. At least until I get bored again... if you leave me some interesting words perhaps and perchance my brain will stay active.

THE LIVERPOOL ECHO

The Liverpool Echo | S/T  2005
For all fans of The Beatles, Merseybeat and early ‘70s pub rock The first reissue in any format anywhere ever for this lost power-pop classic from 1973.

A band name borrowed from an old Merseybeat-era newspaper, a "Fabs" headlined copy of the paper for an album cover. Liverpool Echo have an uncanny grasp of the Merseybeat sound circa 1963 and 1964. But due to the record label's lack of promotion, both band and LP sank within seconds, to lie forgotten until revived by Rev-Ola.
