Music Thread (9/14/24)

Good day Music Thread fans & groupies! My colleague Charlie Brown's Dildo asked me if I could sit in for him as he was on some type of remote French Toast & Maple Syrup Reeducation Camp.

The Horde is an excellent source of material and OrangeEnt sent me the following:

Sorry to do this to you....
But, it seems time for another look at these:
Hilariously Bad Album Covers That Deserved To Be Shamed

*****

I watched the entire clip and searched for the "bad albums". And by golly they are real and here are just two videos from the stars who made the List of Shame.

Example 1:

Example 2:

*****

In an attempt to remain relevant Pearl Jam attempts to rip on Ted Nugen't "Strangle Hold". No wonder why I don't own any of that nasaly dreck.

Pearl Jam put their own spin on Ted Nugent’s 1975 single “Stranglehold,” changing the lyrics to make it an anti-gun anthem.
The moment took place during Pearl Jam’s concert in Baltimore on Thursday, Sept. 12. Roughly halfway through their set, guitarist Mike McCready launched into “Stranglehold”’s familiar

Uncle Ted >>>>>>>>> Eddie Veder

*****

Speaking of interesting album covers or inside jacket.

Do you own or seen the Steppenwolf 'For Ladies Only' LP inside jacket?

Do you own or seen the Mom's Apple Pie LP cover?

Since this is a family like blog. I'm not displaying them. You are on your own. Do you own or know of any bad album covers? If so, please share

I was listening to Kings X 'Ogre Tones' on my way into work tonight. Great band, never got huge recognition, but respected by their peers. Had about a 16 year gap between albums. Most recent one was in 2021. The three guys in the band have had varied health issues and are in their late 50s/early 60s now. Still sound great. 'Three Sides in One' is the latest album from them.

32 I don't see the point of doing "worst" lists with music or movies or other forms of "art." Mainly if it's going to include obscure nonsense that never should have gotten made, by people long since forgotten.

Instead, if there's going to be any relevance to it, it should be limited to acts that achieved some level of notoriety, somehow.

So... with album covers, I would nominate something like Led Zeppelin's "In Through the Out Door," which had different versions for some damn reason.

Not only is the cover stupid, most of the music is too.

37 I glanced at that Pearl Jam article. I didn't know they had that many albums. I only have 'Ten' and I still listen to it. I had a couple of others but they got lost over time and some moves. Never bought them again, they weren't missed. 'Ten' was pretty damn good though. They weren't the best band out of that scene. That would have been MotherLoveBone had Wood not OD'd. Alice In Chains and Soundgarden were also much better than Pearl Jam over all.

Another angle of the the lead singer of iconic rock band Jane's Addiction getting into a fight with guitar player Dave Navarro in the middle of a show in Boston last night.

Marr and Morrissey have both attempted to be solo artists, and Morrissey's efforts have easily been more successful, but neither of them have really made anything worth remembering, separately.

Of course Morrissey has been making quite a lot of good sense lately, so if that's the problem, them Marr can go F himself.

FUN FACT: Food stylists routinely substitute shaving cream for whipped cream in photo shoots. It stands up for hours under the hot lights where real whipped cream would become a puddle.

I'm betting they used that on the Tijuana Brass model for the same reasmn. Plus, it isn't sticky.

120 A bit more about the Bluebird label, from wiki

"The label was founded in 1932 as a division of RCA Victor by Eli Oberstein, an executive at the company. Bluebird competed with other budget labels at the time. Records were made quickly and cheaply. The "Bluebird sound" came from the session band that was used on many recordings to cut costs.[2][3] The band included musicians such as Big Bill Broonzy, Roosevelt Sykes, Washboard Sam, and Sonny Boy Williamson. Many blues musicians were signed to RCA Victor and Bluebird by Lester Melrose, a talent scout and producer who had a virtual monopoly on the Chicago blues market. In these years, the Bluebird label became the home of Chicago blues."

172 It doesn't matter to me if something is "popular" or not. I can listen to it and like it, or listen to it and discard it. Matters not to me what other folks think. Music is too personal.

I love Hector Berlioz and Iannis Xenakis. They would have hated each other. So what? Love their stuff. Bach and Mahler are awesome. Mozart, to me, is dull.

I listen to Throbbing Gristle's "IBM" and it fires right into my brain. So do a lot of popular stuff (I'm pretty sure I have not heard a "hit" record since 2000.)

"I've Been Thinking About You" by Londonbeat is terrific.

Okie from Muskogee was the first song my dad taught me to play on guitar because it only has two chords. After Dad died a few years ago, my brother and I were taking his ashes to the cemetery to put in the grave with my mother. Started up the car, Okie from Muskogee came on the radio on the local NPR station, of all places. I laughed all the way across town.

Actually, a lot of his music sounds alike to me... but there are a handful of his songs that I like, whether done by him or someone else.

180 Ach, the absence of Kraftwerk saddens. They are most earnest young men (younger than Werner at least) and have a laser focus on their art, not unlike that of the late Orson Welles in hailing distance of a Chocolate Éclair. Still, the subject of music reminds Werner of previous fun occasions. Like the time when I teamed up with the Icelandic chanteuse and screeching artist Björk in a no-holds-barred match with Rammstein in the green room at the Harlem Apollo. She is more dangerous than she appears, a fact learned by Rammstein at the cost of great pain and tremendous blood loss. As we fist-bumped over our triumph, a furious Glenn Danzig charged into the dressing room, determined to avenge the thrashing of his friends.

You have perhaps had the moment when you and another gaze at one another and know instantly you are in agreement? This was such a moment. Werner delivered multiple liver punches, while Björk laid waste to his face. In the end, she forced him onto all fours and compelled him to crawl onstage bearing her. He collapsed, but she, Werner, and the crowd knew much merriment. Good times. Ja, good times.

183 Well, I did a bunch of work on the El Camino the past few days, and got it off the hoist, and went for a spin today. My pieced-together exhaust system works, and does not appear to be hitting anything going over bumps. And the fuel pump draws fuel from the tank fine.

Bad news is, the automatic transmission appears to be pooched. It barely moves in Reverse, with lots of squealing going on. And seems to go forward only in second gear, which it does briskly. Brakes work; steering seems a little erratic, but low tires could account for that.

I will have to get it back on the hoist, and see if I can pull some numbers off the engine and transmission to verify what I am dealing with, I know the engine and transmission are not original to the car. It's supposed to be a 350 V8, which was not offered in that model in '83. Transmission is a Turbo 350. Strangely, Amazon has little in the way of rebuild kits for it. Plenty on Rock Auto. But there is a transmission parts house in Calgary that I have dealt with before with good results.

194 Evenin', musical maties.

Speaking of interesting album covers or inside jacket.

On a 1960s Jefferson Airplane LP -- Volunteers, perhaps (not going down to the dusty LP collection in the catacombs to check) -- the inner sleeve was designed like a newspaper. There was one very short item, "There are minute wobbles in the path of Barnard's Star." That was the first indication of an exoplanet I ever saw. Mind blown. Never forgot.

Volunteers was a pretty good album.

I hate that on YouTube album sides that are really one continuous groove are broken up into separate vids. Even worse, they'll run those damn ads between cuts.

I always wanted the Dead's Dark Star three-side jam as one cut!

198 Some may inquire why Werner, Björk, Rammstein, and Glenn Danzig were at the famed Harlem Apollo in the first place. This is a good question, and Werner has no idea himself. Much cognac has flowed beneath the bridge since that fateful occasion, not to mention Absinthe, and these are not keys to a reliable memory. Clearly, the audience there were receptive to a variety of performers, and my duets with Björk received considerable round of applause. Werner, you ask, are you a singer? My response would be: what makes you confuse anything Björk does as singing? Our warbling may have summoned whales, or repelled them. Danzig and Rammstein still walk with pronounced limps since that celebrated evening. Ach.
