Hey!

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Let's get some ground rules straight here.

First:

No posting links to privately hosted copies of
copywrite protected material.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes I know that some Stooge got
the ball rolling by doing just that. The links have all
been deactivated.

The last thing anyone wants is for this forum to be
busted just because someone has linked to a
Boy George file.

YouTube? Great!

All clear? Fine.

Now that I've had to be the bad guy, allow me to
say that my pick for this week is:

02.

An old tape mix I have follows this with Tears of a Clown by Smoky Robinson.

Hmmm, not sure about that. Well okay, seeing as how harrystuped was allowed a bonus in Week 2.

Okay folks, can we number the tracks as we go? Cut off will be 18 each week. I don't know why :)

This week (3) I'm going to plump for some satirical rap:

13. D'Mite - Read a Book []

Everyone knows the only Lou Reed record worth listening to is Metal Machine Music. ;)

It's funny, Reed was trying to give the record company something unreleasable, but they (RCA) called his bluff and even suggested releasing it on Red Seal - their classical label!

Reed backpedaled and tried to get a disclaimer printed on the jacket basically telling people not to buy it, but I guess the record company got the last laugh on that one.

He claimed - after the fact - that there were melodies buried in there, but if you've heard it you know that it's really just noise.

Disclaimer: My opinion. I once played a gig at the Zeitgeist gallery here in Cambridge, MA (now defunct), and we did the entire White Light, White Heat album, and I had to learn the entire album in 5 days (I'd never heard of it before that). I learned it in about 3 hours (without junk, btw). Lou Reed; I just don't get it.

Had fun at the gig, though.

Ha ha - well, buy it and see!

It is 4 sides, one track per side, each exactly 16:01 in length. The tracks are just a jumble of different kinds of feedback. The left and right channels are completely independent, there is no crossover between them or "center" of the noise. Channels will gain and lose volume, drop out completely...it's like torture, really, and I don't know anyone who has made it through more than a few minutes of it (unless they were trying to prove they were insane). When it came out people returned it to the stores thinking they got defective pressings.

It's something to hear, for sure, just so you can say you've done it (akin to eating kangaroo testicles on Fear Factor or something). But I would try to find someplace to get it free, or someone to borrow it from. If you are a masochist there are two original vinyl copies on eBay right now, one is still sealed.

Paul Morley had a lot to say about Metal Machine Music in his book Words and Music. Great book, by the way. One of the things he said that stuck with me was that the advantage of having it on vinyl was that you could control the speed. Instead of 33 rpm, play it at 45 rpm or 78 rpm to get through it quicker.

But he added the best thing to to was play it at 16 rpm to helped to lubricate the music. Or something like that, I'm paraphrasing from memory.

Also, on the original pressing, side 4 was a "locked track" (I think that's what it's called). Meaning the needle wouldn't automatically pick up, you had to get up and go to the turntable to stop the torture. Proving finally that Reed was indeed a prick and a sadist.

Although the Velvet Underground is my favourite group. Go figure.

Flipper did this on one of their singles. The last groove on the side was just an endless loop. It was pretty effective on that particular track.
