Live @ the Liqua Sto

Marty McSorley — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 01:58:00 +0000

This is a fallow up post to my St. Ides Raps post

Last year Trent and I did a show of all 45 while trying to drink as many 40oz as possible. (listen to it here

After that wonder experiment in stupidity. My buddy Dj Thanksgiving Brown handed me down Chief Chinchilla’s mix tape tribute to the St Ides mix tapes. “Live @ the Liqua Stoa.”

So J-Zone did an internet radio show for a while that he co hosted with a gansta chinchilla. It ruled. Out of the colaboration was Live @ the Liqua Stoa was born. It plays as of quasimoto wasn’t as fucked up, and just wanted to get fucked up.

Throw this shit on and take your ass to the corner.

Prince’s Black Album

Marty McSorley — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:18:34 +0000

This is the grail of Prince records.

The black album was suppose to come out right after Sign o’the Times in 1987 but Prince freaked out and pulled it only a few weeks before it was suppose to hit stores.

No one really knows why the Purple One decided to shelf the black one but popular roomers include:

1. Prince decided the album was evil.
2. Prince decided he was done singing about sex and violence.
3. Prince took a bunch of MDMA and freaked out.

Any way a few promo copies still made it out and bootleggers went bananas. I got one of these bootleg cassettes of it on the street for a dollar yesterday. STOKED!

Any way this album rullz. It’s totally raw and super funky. It sounds like no Prince record you have head before probably cause you weren’t suppose to hear it. Originally conceived as party music for Sheila E’s birthday celebration, it sounds like Prince rounded up the family to do some fucked up P.Funk covers and faux hip hop tracks with amazingly bad electronic drums.

It rullz!

And if you ever wanted to hear what prince would sound like if he tried to be Ice-T then check out the track “Bob George.” It plays like a funky Body Count song, with Prince taking on an alter ego with a voice that sounds like hes in the witness protection program. In the track he is swearing up a storm, kills a bitch, then calls Prince “That skinny motherfucker with the high voice.” (this is where Dump, fet. members of Yo La Tengo, got the title for their prince covers record!)

Prince hated the Black Album so much and coulden’t stand the fact that people were getting boots of it that in the video for Alphabet St. the first single from his next record Lovesexy, there is a hidden message saying “Don’t buy the Black Album, I’m Sorry.”

Don’t believe me? How bout Kurt Loder?

No Prince I’m sorry you didn’t have more confidence in your genius. And I’m sorry I’m now giving away a free copy of a record you hate.

Enjoy!

Z’s Live on WFMU + Love for MJ

Marty McSorley — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:31:45 +0000

Unlike IVOR I have nothing but love the gloved one. Bad was the first piece of music I ever owned, and the pic above was my first record player. So I did it up right with a proper tribute with all kinds of covers and all my bed music off the MJ record player.

Then Z’s gave a sick live set. And if you don’t know about Z’s then you are really missing out. Thanks to Jason Sigal for recording the set.

Neil Young Behind the Camera

Marty McSorley — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:35:46 +0000

So I never really got the whole Neil Young hype and always thought the only cool thing about him was the model trains he built for his retarded son.

Kim Gordon on on Neil’s Trains:

“Part of the train set was a model cow that made moo-ing noises,” Gordon recalled with a chuckle. “And Neil wasn’t happy with the cow sound. He didn’t think it was realistic enough. So he kept fiddling with the electronics. He’d get the cow to moo, and he’d ask us what we thought. ‘Was it realistic enough? Did it need some more work? What was wrong?’ He was at it for an hour or so. It was amazing how a toy cow could maintain his interest for so long.”

Any way. . . . Neil did some tinkering with some drugs in 1982 in an attempt to make the world more realistic. He got together with his homie Dean Stockwell (who also did the cover art for Young’s 1977 album American Stars and Bars) and wrote what might be one of the best apocalyptic musical comedies for aging drug riddled brains or Saturday morning TV ever. Really this thing plays like PeeWee’s Playhouse on acid.

The high light for me is not Young’s role as a mentally challenged auto mechanic, or Denis Hopper’s role as a shell shocked line cook, but Devo’s place as glowing musical nuclear power plant workers. Not only that but Mark Mothersbaugh has got on a rubber baby mask the entire film. Genius.

At one point Young knocks himself out with a wrench and has a dream of rocking out with Devo and they do a ten min. acid riddled version of version of “My My Hey Hey” with Mothersbaugh singing and playing moog, in a baby mask in a crib!!!!!!

This is when I realized that Neil Young ruled so many more ballz than I ever gave him credit for. In conclusion if I am ever in arm’s reach of Neil young I will shake his hand and congratulate him on his fine work, encourage him to take more drugs, get back behind the camera, and plead with him for a dvd release of Human Highway. The world needs his director’s commentary track.

(and if I am ever with in leg’s range from the dudes from Unicorns/Islands I’ll kick them in the nuts for naming their new band after this fine piece of work).

Here is the meet and potatoes, for you kids, a lazer disc rip of the flim, enjoy.

Talk Normal on WFMU

Marty McSorley — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:10:29 +0000

Sup kids?

So I figured I would follow IVOR’s lead and start throwing up my WFMU shows here on the falcon.

Talk Normal did a great live set and Jeff Simmons did a sweet job recording it!

Thanks guys!

Brainticket – Brainticket

Marty McSorley — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 18:43:09 +0000

I usely get kinda tight when a band has the same name as one of their songs. I it just seems repetitive and lame. But this track takes repetitive to the next level.

From their debut 1971 record Cottenwoodhill Brainticket takes up a side and a half of the record to give us Brainticket Part 1, {flip record} Brainticket Part 1 (conclusion) Brainticket Part 2. I really don’t understand much of anything about this track except for the fact that it rulz some serious balz. This shit locks into a this heavy psych failed disco groove and just chills content with just making your head bob until crazy chick extraordinarie Dawn Muir drops in with some triped up story bathed in reverb and acid that will boil your brain from the inside out. They were right when they issued a warning in the lioner notes “After Listening to this Record, your friends may not know you anymore” and “Only listen to this once a day. Your brain might be destroyed!”

Take heed and proceed with caution.

How to Talk Jive with Lightnin’ Rod

Marty McSorley — Mon, 25 May 2009 12:31:50 +0000

If you ever wanted to lean how to talk jive just listen to this record over and over.

Lightnin’ Rod’s “Hustler’s Convention” (United Artists Records – 1973) is the ultimate.

Lightnin’ Rod (aka Alafia Pudim, aka Jalaludin M. Nuriddin, aka The Grandfather of Rap) was a member of the ogest of ogs The Last Poets and he had a story to tell. So he called up Tina Turner and the Ikettes, Bernard Purdie, Billy Preston, Colonel Dupree and Kool and The Gang had them lay down some of their badasssssssest shit ever and he went to work rapping about the biggest shindig to ever go down above 110th street. . . . The Hustlers Convention. What we get is a record that runs like a blackexplotation radio play. Your ears will feel cooler just for being in the same room with these sounds.

(Not to mention the air brush work on the cover by Disney artiest and over spray master David Willerdson that would make every dude making custom hats at the swap meet put their guns down and swear allegiance. Is it me or does the fist full of $ on his pin look like California?)

Enjoy mothafucka!

American Flyers

Marty McSorley — Mon, 04 May 2009 03:32:46 +0000

If you didn’t know American Flyers is one of the best Costner movies ever. An incredible achivement in both bad 80′s sports drama as well as Costner facial hair.

Costner is rarely stached but when he is, it’s American lip hair at its finest.

Costner, his brother and his wonderful cookie duster go on a wonderful bike tour of our great country. Then to top it all off a Lee Ritenour and Greg Mathieson deliver a score tighter than Kev’s spandex. If thought Tangerine Dream’s score to Vision Quest was tight, squeeze into these bike shorts. I guarantee it will make your balls feel like they are flying, American Flying.

American electro soundtrack cheese prog at its best.
