That progressive, perhaps psycho, rockers such as the Blue Öyster Cult led a somewhat catalogue # niche existence makes one all the more eager to listen to the truly awesome discs 32017 recorded by this group in their early days. An important start was made with the re-re- lease of BÖC's Secret Treaties (Columbia KC 32858), which is now followed by Tyranny set contents 1 LP / standard sleeve, insert And Mutation - another great disc. Although the band offers a mix of slightly subdued, milder pieces, the opening number The Red & The Black makes it fully clear that we are pricecode in for a dizzy roller-coaster ride here. Subsequently the Black side with its straightfor- SC01 ward guitar riffs is mixed together with a complex melody and results in an amazingly release date colourful sound (O.D.'d On Life Itself), it is refreshingly naive, full of feisty complicated September 2016 rock (Baby Ice Dog), and soars to celestial heights in Wings Wetted Down with its poly- barcode phonic male voices. After the death of “Lemmy” Kilmister in 2015, we can now enjoy only one group with a '!2G00BJ-hbfbfj! heavy-metal Umlaut in its name. But who wants to wait around until some radio DJ puts this great chunk of meaty rock’n’roll on the turntable? original recording 1972 at Columbia Studios, New York City, by Tim Geelan Erinnern wir uns mit verklärtem Lächeln an die Platten-Päpste aus dem Radio, wie sie original production ihre Heiligtümer wie eine Monstranz vor sich her trugen, der die Hörer und Raubko- Murray Krugman & Sandy Pearlman pierer vorfreudig huldigten. Dass psychoverdächtige Progressiv-Rocker wie Blue Öy- ratings (max. 5 stars) ster Cult bei diesen quotenlastigen Sessions eher ein Nischendasein fristeten motiviert AllMusic: 4,5 Discogs: 4,15 RYM: 3,77 umso mehr, die richtig starken Scheiben aus der Frühzeit der US-Boys an die Gehör- gänge zu legen. Nachdem mit Secret Treaties (Columbia KC 32858) ein gewichtiges Stück von BÖC wieder aufgelegt ist, geht jetzt mit Tyranny & Mutation eine weitere große Nummer ins Rennen. Auch wenn die Band ihre Stücke aus milderen Klangfarben mischt, macht der Opener The Red & The Black klar, dass sie die schwindelerregende Hochgeschwindigkeitsfahrt drauf hat. Anschließend mischt man das Schwarz einfa- cher Gitarrenriffs mit dem Deckweiß komplexer Melodie zu verblüffend buntem Sound (O.D.’ On Life Itself), zeigt erfrischend naiven, satt einrastenden Filigranrock (Baby Ice Dog) und schwingt sich mit Wings Wetted Down in die Höhen mehrstimmigen Männer- gesangs. Nach dem Abgang von Lemmy Kilmister kann es nur noch diese eine Band mit dem Heavy-Metal-Umlaut geben, auf die wir uns freuen. Nur warten können wir nicht auf dem Tag, an dem robuste Radioonkel uns diese Extra-Scheibe weltlich-fleischigen Rock’n’Rolls auf den Teller knallen. WWW.SPEAKERSCORNERRECORDS.COM | [email protected].

  • Jews, Punk and the Holocaust: from the Velvet Underground to the Ramones – the Jewish-American Story
    Popular Music (2005) Volume 24/1. Copyright © 2005 Cambridge University Press, pp. 79–105 DOI:10.1017/S0261143004000315 Printed in the United Kingdom Jews, punk and the Holocaust: from the Velvet Underground to the Ramones – the Jewish-American story JON STRATTON Abstract Punk is usually thought of as a radical reaction to local circumstances. This article argues that, while this may be the case, punk’s celebration of nihilism should also be understood as an expression of the acknowledgement of the cultural trauma that was, in the late 1970s, becoming known as the Holocaust. This article identifies the disproportionate number of Jews who helped in the development of the American punk phenomenon through the late 1960s and 1970s. However, the effects of the impact of the cultural trauma of the Holocaust were not confined to Jews. The shock that apparently civilised Europeans could engage in genocidal acts against groups of people wholly or partially thought of by most Europeans as European undermined the certainties of post-Enlightenment modernity and contributed fundamentally to the sense of unsettlement of morals and ethics which characterises the experience of postmodernity. Punk marks a critical cultural moment in that transformation. In this article the focus is on punk in the United States. We’re the members of the Master Race We don’t judge you by your face First we check to see what you eat Then we bend down and smell your feet (Adny Shernoff, ‘Master Race Rock’, from The Dictators’ The Dictators Go Girl Crazy! [1975]) It is conventional to distinguish between punk in the United States and punk in England; to suggest, perhaps, that American punk was more nihilistic and English punk more anarchistic.

  • "Buck Dharma" Roeser
    Donald Brian "Buck Dharma" Roeser An American guitarist and songwriter, best known for being a member of Blue Öyster Cult since the group's formation in 1967. He wrote and sang the lead vocal on many of the band's best- known hits, including "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "Godzilla", and "Burnin' for You" (the last originally intended for Roeser's solo album). Roeser was born on Long Island, New York. His father was an accomplished jazz saxophonist, and Roeser spent a lot of time listening to jazz music as a result. Because of this, Roeser developed an interest in the melodic arts at a very early age. He even played the accordion for a brief period of time.[1] Roeser was influenced greatly by the British Invasion of 1964, and he decided to pursue rock n' roll music. He first started out playing the drums, but had to stop temporarily after breaking his wrist while playing basketball. While recovering, Roeser learned to play guitar, and found that he enjoyed it more than the drums. During his high school years, Roeser played guitar in various cover bands. At this time, he started to develop his own signature sound by imitating his favorite guitarists and combining their sounds with his own style. Roeser attended Clarkson College in New York, and joined a band that included later bandmate Albert Bouchard. The two played together on and off during the rest of their college career. At the end, both musicians abandoned potential degrees (Roeser's in Chemical Engineering), and decided to pursue music full-time.

  • Overlooked Pearls: the Blue Oyster Cult and the Vampire in Popular
    Overlooked Pearls: The Blue Öyster Cult and the Vampire in Popular Music David F Hallett and J Robin Martin [David F Hallett is currently a Doctoral candidate in English at the University of Ottawa. J Robin Martin, a Canadian TSD member, writes regularly about film. Both took undergraduate degrees at Memorial University of Newfoundland.] “Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls must dive below.” — John Dryden, All for Love (prologue) Perhaps the most dominant gothic literary motif is that of the vampire. Emerging in the 19th century, the vampire, or the Undead, has survived to saturate all media of popular culture in the 20th century. The Undead, in an evolving mythology, continue to stalk the pages of contemporary fiction and the screens of our cinemas, even materializing like Stoker’s Dracula as “specks floating in the rays” (90) on the pixels of our televisions. Rock music too, as much a creation of the 20th century as the literary vampire was of the 19th, has been bitten by the lure and lore of the Undead, not only adding its own variations to the mythos but also reflecting the perception of the vampire in other forms of mass media, both critiquing and drawing inspiration from it. The Blue Öyster Cult is conspicuous by its absence from the existing surveys of images of the vampire in rock music. Amongst its large oeuvre, the Blue Öyster Cult has a number of vampire-related songs -- some explicit, many more oblique. The band has, over a career nearing thirty years, consistently explored in their lyrics what comparative literature specialist Roger Shattuck calls forbidden knowledge.
