TRUBEE GOES AT IT AGAIN


I remember when I was a kid having teachers who spent most of their time scolding us--especially when the scolding was unwarranted and obnoxiously overbearing.

I remember 2 bitches in particular--Mrs. Jones, my 4th grade teacher at Johnson Park School, and my 5th grade teacher Miss Mathers at John Witherspoon School in Princeton, New Jersey. They'd stand at the head of the class throughout the school year hectoring us and telling us what little brats we were. A couple of girls might be whispering at the back of the classroom, Miss Mathers would see them, and in turn spend the next half hour hectoring the shit out of the whole classroom.

One time our gym teacher, Mr. Plummer, had to receive medical attention and take some time off work for a back problem. Asshole Millie Mathers told us that it was our fault, that we were so demanding and ungrateful that we broke Mr. Plummer's back.

As kids we had to just sit and listen to this shit, uncomprehending and innocent of what she was bitching about. As a child I remember being hectored by adults that I felt I was repeatedly mauled by tigers and was powerless to stop it.

Many people who become teachers have no business having children under their charge. This tenor of adults, in the public school classrooms and elsewhere, hectoring and screaming at and scolding children, led me to loathe the adult world and vow to never become one if them, not unlike the alienated protagonist of Gunther Grass' 'The Tin Drum'.

The echoes of hectoring scolds still fill my ears today, and I still perceive human relations as one of dominance and control, not unlike how adults treat children. My solution to this tiresome, exhausting, timewasting, obstructionist, enervating dominance by other people is to stay the hell away from them as much as possible.

I thought that as time progressed--as people became more intelligent and experienced and enlightened and tolerant--that the obnoxious, scolding bitches would be weeded out and eliminated from humanity as their overt assholism is recognized, exposed, and expunged from the human dungheap. I have sadly discovered that this is not the case.
People do not become more intelligent over time. People are idiots.

Which brings me to Dr. Laura. Those tiresome, hectoring bitches still thrive today because so many people just LOVE to bully others with their damnedable rules. To them, Dr. Laura is their patron saint. I love when stupid people, mostly women, unfortunately, call up Dr. Laura proudly stating "I am my kid's mom", explain their family problem or situation, then have Dr. Laura rip them a new asshole telling them how greedy, selfish, evil, or stupid they are for not submitting to her dictates and ethics. If someone stupidly wanders into the tiger cage, then they rightfully deserve to be mauled by the tiger.

I enjoy listening to Dr. Laura with the same delighted sense of relief as one who has been repeatedly mauled by tigers delights in using a stick to taunt the tiger locked behind bars. Dr. Laura is on the radio, I hear her voice as vibrations from the cones of my stereo loudspeakers moving as the result of distant radio waves. The bitch can't hurt me, she can't dominate me, she can't control my life, her blathering rules are just so many impotent gaseous emissions.

Now do you understand why we must destroy the obnoxious, bitchy rulemongers?

Now do you understand why we must escape to sunny, summer countryside hilltops and let the hectoring rulemongers shit on their stupid adult victims in the torture chambers down below?

NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

JOE TRAVERS AND THE VAULT


From the december 2004 issue of grammy.com, nothing new, maybe, but nice to read:

Unlocking Zappa Treasures
Preservation and restoration results in releases from legendary Zappa Vault

GRAMMY.com
Laurel Fishman

Frank Zappa

Under Frank Zappa's family house in Los Angeles, the "Vault" is jam-packed from floor to ceiling with every possible recordable audio, video and film media. Within its concrete walls, the temperature-controlled Vault contains literally thousands of tapes, all neatly organized and labeled. "The Vault is infamous among Zappa fans as a treasure trove of material," says Joe Travers, official "Vaultmeister." Bit by bit, the gems are emerging.

These jewels represent the late Zappa's prolific output, spanning 30-plus years and musical genres from doo-wop to classical. Decades before the global economy, Zappa was selling out international venues that other popular musicians of the time never even dreamed of playing. From his early days around Los Angeles in the 1960s with the original Mothers Of Invention, to world tours, experiments on the Synclavier, and his orchestral works, Zappa relentlessly recorded his musical
adventures.

The limitations of existing technology made it generally prohibitive for most artists to do so, but Zappa used mobile recording gear to capture his lengthy concerts. Travers learned how to "bake" the resulting tapes, heat-treating them in a convection oven at 130 degrees for four to eight hours. "Baking the tapes secures the oxide to the tape's backing so it won't shed when it's being played back," Travers explains. "If it sheds and turns into gummy residue, it's gone forever." So far, Travers has baked about 100 tapes.

When he started as Vaultmeister in the mid-'90s, Travers' job was to identify and catalog the material. He created a database, designating Zappa's ever-changing band personnel and determining song titles and which material had already been released. Travers pored over documents, publications and Web sites, and talked with the musicians involved.

Inside the Vault, Travers also found "a helluva lot of film and video, from 8 mm all the way up to one- and two-inch masters." Travers says there is early-'60s footage of Zappa's original Studio Z and from later years at the family house. There are outtakes from Zappa films Uncle Meat and Baby Snakes, and Zappa concerts on Halloween 1977 and live at
the Roxy in 1973, and more.

The Vault also houses rehearsal tapes, Zappa interviews, trim reels and other remnants. "After Frank got a mix using razor-blade edits, this was the stuff that didn't make it onto the record," Travers says. "There are a lot of rough mixes and versions of albums before Frank ripped them apart. I get to hear the missing pieces of the large puzzle."

Prior to becoming Vaultmeister, Travers already held some of the pieces. A drummer who played with Zappa sons Dweezil and Ahmet in their band Z during the mid-'90s, Travers was a serious Frank Zappa fan from an early age. "I had a massive collection," he says. "I read every book and had every Zappa record, dozens of bootlegs. And this was before eBay!"

One day in 1995, Joe requested a tour of the legendary Vault. "Just by looking at the names on the boxes," Travers remembers, "I knew more about the contents of the Vault than anyone working there at the time," including various audio experts. "The staff went back and told [Frank's widow] Gail that I knew more about what's in the Vault than anybody
else. She said, 'Great, he's the Vaultmeister.'"

Before 2003, Travers focused on refining his digital editing skills while cataloging and baking the tapes. Then the Zappas refurbished the recording studio adjacent to the Vault, allowing Travers to "dive into other tape formats with the best possible technology," he says.

In EQ-ing and mastering Zappa's music, Travers is salvaging arcane nuggets to appeal to hardcore Zappa fanatics, "material that otherwise wouldn't find a home on a major Zappa release." These obscurities are becoming the "Joe's" album series, starting with the current Joe's Corsage , whose title is a play on Zappa's 1979 Joe's Garage albums.

Joe's Corsage includes Zappa demos from 1965, '60s interview snippets, and perhaps the rarest of all Zappa rarities, a love song: "I'm So Happy I Could Cry." In typical Zappa fashion, it later mutated into the irreverent "Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance" from the classic Zappa album We're Only In It For The Money.

Starting in 2002, Vault packages are being released on the Vaulternative label, created by Gail Zappa. Among its live concert recordings, a possible documentary and other as-yet-unreleased projects, "we're working on four different albums right now," Travers says. "I submit material to Gail and Dweezil for them to decide upon, or they come to me and say, 'We need material from this-or-that era.'"

While Dweezil Zappa concentrates on remixing his father's recordings into surround sound for future Vaulternative albums, Gail Zappa is instituting a subscription service for purchasing Vault releases. "There are most likely 40 albums that can come out of the Vault, not including the series I'm doing," says Travers.

"There's so much I don't even know about yet. The more I dive into the Vault, especially in the formats I wasn't able to document or play before now, the more possibilities keep coming up."

(Laurel Fishman is a writer and editor specializing in entertainment media. She reports regularly for GRAMMY.com, writes the EducationWatch column, and is an advocate for the benefits of music-making, music-listening, music education, music therapy and music-and-the-brain research.)

JEFF HOLLIE


Shame on me.
Last week or so, I added a couple of Robert Williams albums, and forgot to link them to Jeff Hollie. Charles Ulrich was kind enough to remind me that Jeff also had an entry at UM. (Jeff played saxophone on Zappa's "Joe's Garage" album, and also on Ike Willis' first album.
A fine opportunity to add data for the following two albums as well:
 

DOMINIQUE JEUNOT


Dominique Jeunot, co-founder of Les Fils de l'Invention, has passed away.

MARQUESON COY


from: Bob Wyman
    January 2005

I knew Marqueson when we were 15 years old and he went by Greg. He took me to see Hendrix in '69 (last show with EXP). I never thought Greg would amount to much let alone working for Frank! I should have stayed in touch! Marque was a crazy kid and his folks saw fit to separate the two of us long ago. When I bought the CD "Them or Us" I wondered who Marqueson was, little did I know it was Greg Coy, my partner in crime, at one time....

JOHN TRUBEE'S TRIP TO THE ART MUSEUM


A Trip To The Art Museum

A while back I visited the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art with a friend to check out some art.
I remember seeing an elongated painting by Edward Ruscha, about 1 1/2 feet high by 10 feet long. It simply depicted a dark horizon behind which glowed an apparent dawn. The work was entitled 'America's Future' and its title was stenciled directly into the lower central part of the painting.

Many of Ruscha's works incorporate text directly onto the artwork; many of his paintings are solely comprised of a word or words painted onto a flat surface.
I was intrigued by the work. My favorite times of day are the dawn and the dusk because they look eerie and strange and beautiful. They almost let us observe time itself move as the sun traverses the horizon. The image of the artwork and its title remained in my mind for weeks afterward as I contemplated it.

I then realized that the painting could just as surely be a depiction of twilight as it could be of a dawn, and the connection to which part of the day it depicted in relation to its title further revealed its significance.

In this country we like to appear optimistic, we nurture the notion that better days populate our future, we maintain some archaic 19th century notion of "progress" taking us up on higher to better things. To live without this quaint hope, however delusional, would make life unbearable to most people. Politicians like to say "America's best days are ahead of us". To publicly declaim otherwise would be career death for a politician. We like to call ourselves a nation of optimists.

This mindset is probably why I automatically assumed Ruscha's glowing horizon depicted the dawn.

But what if the painting 'America's Future' depicts the final glowing of a glorious day descending into a darkness reigned over by hideous demons? What if all the best years of this country are behind us as we degenerate into evening shadows of corruption, decadence, hypocrisy, loss of treasure and wealth, loss of vaunted myths with no new ones to supercede them, loss of youth, loss of spirit, loss of will, loss of hope, loss of life?

In light of the recent contentious national election, the controversy over the bloody debacle in Iraq, the numerous publicized corporate scandals mocking the virtues of capitalism and the work ethic as taught to us by our elders and right-thinking people everywhere; in light of the of the sorry absence of civility and intelligence in public debate; in light of the humongous national debt and obscene trade deficit and grotesquely widening gulf between the haves and the have-nots; in light of public education's failure to graduate crops of thoughtful citizens capable of making intelligent contributions to their culture and world and civic life; in light of the commodification of everything into a business transaction in which we are merely passive, sheeplike consumers of what we've been told and sold and nothing more--and its resultant effect visually evident in the obesity epidemic; in light of the depressing lack of sense of humor and the worship of rules which everyone so desperately lusts to cram down everybody else's throat; in light of sex as once something joyful and desirable now transmogrified into something that Michael Jackson does to little boys--or is a threat to the workplace and consequently YOUR JOB and livelihood--or which will kill us with an incurable contagion--or is the source of Dr. Laura's shrill, odious dictates; in light of the mindless worship of celebrities and the constant need for insipid diversions and entertainments while profound issues continually elude serious and intelligent public discussion; in light of the politicized fearmongering of the Homeland Security apparatus condescending to us as if we are all weak and helpless infants vulnerable to dark forces and submissive to the will of an inept and mendacious government; in light of the universal vulgarity and stupidity  and lack of civility enveloping us everywhere in daily life...

--I could safely state that Ruscha's painting 'America's Future' could just as clearly be depicting its twilight as well as its dawn. I have not decided for myself and I am still contemplating it and it's doubtful I'll ever arrive at a definitive answer. My lifetime and perceptions are necessarily stunted and limited in observing the lifeline and overarching history of the republic.

This is why I love art. The artist creates an object, an image, a song, a work, a collection of words strung together in a poem or a novel and posits it before the world. What we get out of it is a reflection of what we bring into it. The idiosyncratic matrix of our experiences and memories and temperament and world view color what meaning or significance we discover in an art object.
Its significance results from how our minds perceive the art object in the dynamic interplay between our minds and the image-form so deftly spun into existence by the artist.

I remember my mother once took me on a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York when I was a child. She realized my interest in art even then.
I do not know Ruscha's intent nor do I care. I saw a beautiful work in a museum and its meaning for me resulted from viewing it through the prism of my experiences and perceptions. It set me to thinking about things I would not have otherwise considered.

Art is the religion of the future.

SOFA (from www.thebignote.com) typed out the following message at the kill ugly radio forum at www.killuglyradio.com.

Greetings Forum Denizens!
The inimitable Magic Fingers and I are involved in a nifty new project. In this regard, we are seeking the late show from Nov. 23, 1973 - specifically the "Big Swifty/Eat that Question" track.
Does anyone out there have this show in their library, and could help us out?
Please LMK ASAP if this might be available.
Regards,
SOFA

As I was convinced that I had this show, I told SOFA that I would help him out.
However, when I pulled out the disc labeled 1973/11/23-late show, I was completely astonished that it carried the first part of the 1973/11/18 concert instead.

Damned.

To make it even worse, the trader who sent me the disc, thought his recording was the 1973/11/23-L show, so he can't help me out.

If YOU can lend a hand to SOFA, let me know (bignOte@yucom.be) and I'll forward your message to him. I know that some of you can, I just don't know if you will, so show me wrong...

JOHN TRUBEE'S WEIRD DREAM


Trubee says:

"About a week ago I dreamt a weird dream that I still vividly remember.

I dreamt that I had killed someone and had hidden the body, but the existential dread and guilt of my deed haunted me. (Simply the awareness of being human imbues us all with Cain's guilt).

I felt a heightened awareness and paranoia of one who feels guilty and I was packing my belongings to move elsewhere. I was in a room which resembled my father's study in a house in which my family resided years ago. I have not lived in that house since 1980.

I fled to some other place and found myself in a motel room with my belongings, trying to organize them, packing and unpacking them and rearranging them.
A group of my musician and bohemian friends were in the motel room with me, socializing and being loud.
I was sitting cross legged on the floor listening to an old mono turntable playing records softly, as it was late at night. My friend Carl Franzoni came over and turned up the volume on record player.

Several older, overweight, tall, completely bald men were staying in the motel room next door to mine.
One was shaving and naked from out of a shower and had a towel wrapped around his waist--he opened the door separating the two motel rooms and poked his head into the room and gruffly asked me to turn down  the record player.
Someone in my room sassed him and he and a couple of his buddies--completely naked and tall and bald and overweight like him--hustled into the room to confront me.

Before I could turn down the volume one of my friends jumped on the back of the baldie confronting me. A melee in my motel room ensued in which my friends were jumping on and beating the old bald guys who were falling to the floor.

The whole scene was creepy and queer and I wanted to get the hell out of there. Then I woke up."

THE KENEALLIST: January 18, 2005


Hi and Happy New Year everyone!  Here's a special message for you music industry types --- and to those of you lucky enough NOT to be in the music industry, we will have other exciting news for you soon about touring and things like that.

But for now --

Hear ye, all you NAMM revelers --- if you're going to be attending this week's NAMM convention in Anaheim, CA, here's my performance schedule for Taylor Guitars:

  • Thursday 2005/01/20 - 1:20 PM - Mike Keneally & Rick Musallam - Taylor Guitars performance room
     
  • Friday 2005/01/21 - 12:45 PM - Mike Keneally & Bryan Beller - Taylor Guitars performance room
     
  • Sunday 2005/01/23 - 1:20 PM - Mike Keneally & Bryan Beller - Taylor Guitars performance room

Also I'll be helping Taylor unveil a new instrument onstage, each morning of NAMM at 10:30.  On Saturday night I'll be jamming at the Guitar Player Magazine party in one of the hotels, don't know which one (I'm guessing either the Marriot or the Hilton) but you can find out at their booth or via the white hot buzz of partymonger word of mouth.

To all of my friends reading this who will be at the convention, I hope we can find time to hang, in the midst of it all.

My current music fixations – Pavement and Glenn Gould.   Never say I'm not a man of extremes.

Website to check out – http://www.bradblog.com

Quick update: All last week I played on sessions for the debut album by a tremendous songwriter, Brian Judah.  Also playing were Matt Chamberlain, Viktor Krauss, Tommy Simms and Dan Phelps – an assemblage built to glitter.  The tracks are severely powerful and this will be an album to hear.  The day I got home I went right into the studio with Jon Kanis, a San Diego songwriter whose album I've been producing and collaborating on for a good long time now.  We had a very creative and satisfying day in the studio and Jon's album, ‘Cult Of One,' will be something else you'll want to check out.  Both these albums should be released this year.  I'm also continuing work on the new sadhappy album featuring Evan Schiller and Michael Manring, and writing and demoing for the next solo releases. 

It's taking, as usual, a while to firm up touring plans but when everything aligns it'll be a good thing, worth the wait. 

I was hanging laundry so I'd best get back to it.  More power to you.

Steathily,
Mike

A bit of Bozzio and a picture of the Zappa book by Miles.
 

BOZZIO RADIO BROADCASTS

Two of the concert that Terry Bozzio did in Tilburg last week, will be broadcast on Dutch radio:
  • 2005/01/31, dutch national radio 4 will broadcast (part of) the concert with the  metropole orchestra (2005/01/09 concert  013 popcentrum’, tilburg, NL)
     
  • 2005/04/11, dutch radio station "concertzender" will broadcast part of the 2005/01/07 opening concert of the "traces of rhythm" festival, featuring Terry Bozzio, Arnold Marinissen, Arno van Nieuwenhuize en Lê Quan Ninh.

And while we're at it, the 2005/01/07 concert was opened by Jenny Spanoghe (violin), accompanied by Toon Bierman (piano), performing Zappa's 'The Black Page'.
 

Since it has been Terry Bozzio week over here at UM, I pasted in the data for his "Drawing the Circle" album as well.

ZAPPA BOOK BY MILES

"Zappa - A Biography" by Barry Miles.

This new book on Zappa has been out a little while, and if I'm not mistaken I did a copy / paste job on a review that I had received.
And Kilissa was kind enough to send the picture on the right.

I haven't seen or read the book myself (yet), but it is widely available.

Only a few days after our very succesful release by Roy "Chicky" Arad we have something new to offer:

Driving me backwards - Phil Reavis [WM007]
http://www.wmrecordings.com/releases/wm007.htm

A selection from tapes Phil made outside of the many bands he played in.
As always this release is available for free in mp3 format.
Enjoy!
