THE ROAMIN’ TATTLER !~*~________________________ A Guide to the Happening Local Events and the Eventful Local Happenings ~*~! Issue 17 SpecialOCTOBER Spooky DOUBLE Double ISSUE! Issue!

NEWWHO ALBUM DUE NOVEMBER 22 A new album from the Who, simply titled Who, (or, possibly Detour), is their first long player in 13 years, and will be released on the Polydor label on November 22. Endless Wire, their 2006 release, though welcome after a 24 year layoff from recording, was a bit of a sprawling mess. The band seem to have got- ten a few more things right this time around. Perhaps influenced by Who co-producer D. Sardy, Pete Townshend seems to have much better sense in editing himself this time around. Endless Wire began it’s life as a mini opera EP entitled Wire and Glass. It was short, punchy, and delivered the goods. By the time it had been fleshed out with more (too much) material, the resulting album was a hit or miss affair that required two vinyl albums to hold all the music. This time, less is more. Eleven songs, on a single LP, all the flab cut away, and no overarching themes or pretentious concepts. The production, judging from the newly issued single track Ball and Chain, finally gets the sound right for the first time since 1978’s Who Are You: diamond hard, with slash- ing guitars the song is a blues that sounds gloriously sloppy in a good way (think Join Together).\ In addition to original members Townshend and vocalist Roger Daltrey, the band, such as it is, in- cludes long time bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Zak Starkey. Starkey (who only appeared briefly on Endless Wire), is the fire that stokes the engine. Son of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, he was given his first drum set and lessons from original Who drummer Keith Moon. He was literally born for the job, and the band should never have considered recording without him the last time around. These were the fellows who famously crowed about hoping to die before they got old, and two of the group did just that. The two remaining members of the band find themselves old men, and as such, face aging on the current record, much as they did over fifty years ago when they became the collective voice of a young generation of Mods who had no unifying voice of their own.. In a sense, it’s the only logical way to approach a new (final?) release from the Who. No odes to romance, no nostalgia for lost youth, just Pete and Rog raging and rocking about all manner of things from reincarnation to Guantanamo Bay. Finally, in a brilliant commercial maneuver, the album is housed in a terrifically colorful and im- pactful Mod cover, courtesy of the great British pop artist Sir Peter Blake, he of Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band fame, who had also previously designed the cover for the Who’s 1981 Face Dances LP. Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. - Dylan Thomas P-p-p-people try to p-p-put it down, but th’ Tattler’s read all over t-t-town.

Close by: one can see all sorts of beautiful hues simply by taking a walk to the Villa Roma timeshares toward the stables. Turn around at the top of the hill and gaze at the valley below. Near by: drive to the town of Narrowsburg NY, and follow route 97 down through Hawks Nest. Some of the most gorgeous scenery in the state awaits you! Farther away: some of the best leafing on the east cost can be had each fall by following the Shawangunk Mountains Scenic Byway to New Paltz NY. While there, be sure to visit historic Huguenot Street. Some of the oldest original stone houses in the United States can be found there, along with an intriguing old church and cemetery with gravestones dating back to the 1600’s. Psssssssst! Hey kids!
