Big Stars Radio City Free Ebook FREEBIG STARS RADIO CITY EBOOK Bruce Eaton | 144 pages | 01 Jul 2009 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826428981 | English | London, United Kingdom Radio City #1 Record/Radio City is a really fun two-fer album featuring Big Star's first two albums. Big Star first formed in Band members include the songwriting duo of Chris Bell and Alex Chilton, as well as Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stevens. They released their debut - #1 Record in This is a wonderful pristine power pop punch of an album!. In their debut #1 Record, Big Star sings songs about India, their baby when she is beside them, going to rock n roll shows and #1 Record was a naive and melancholic record with acoustic guitars. In their second album Radio City they sing aggresive songs with dark lyrics due to their situation while recording it. A rock legend has died. Along with #1 Record, Big Star invented the genre that is now commonly referred to as "Power-Pop." What is astonishing about Radio City is that, notwithstanding the departure of co- founder Chris Bell, the album equals, if not surpasses, #1 Record.

Released in , Radio City was recorded during at Memphis' Ardent Studios. Though not a commercial success at the time, it is now recognized as a milestone alb. Largely lacking co-leader Chris Bell, Big Star 's second album also lacked something of the pop sweetness (especially the harmonies) of #1 Record. What it possessed was Alex Chilton 's urgency (sometimes desperation) on songs that made his case as a genuine rock & roll eccentric. If #1 Record had a certain pop perfection that brought everything together, Radio City was the sound of everything falling apart, which proved at least as compelling.

My ultimate conclusion/recommendation: If you ever see the “#1 Record” + “Radio City” two-fer Stax UK pressing for a good price, grab it without hesitation. It’s a good-sounding pair of records, and it may be the last chance you ever get to hear Big Star in glorious analog in your very own living room.

  • Star Shines at Shell
    May 24, 2014 Star Shines at Shell PHOTO BY YOSHI JAMES Homage to cult band’s “Third” kicks off Levitt series By Bob Mehr The Levitt Shell’s 2014 summer season opened Friday night, with a teeming crowd of roughly 4,000 who camped out under clear skies to hear the music of Memphis’ greatest cult band Big Star, in a show dedicated to its dark masterpiece, Third. Performed by an all-star troupe of local and national musicians, it was yet another reminder of how the group, critically acclaimed but commercially doomed during their initial run in the early 1970s, has developed into one of the unlikeliest success stories in rock and roll. The Third album — alternately known as Sister Lovers — was originally recorded at Midtown’s Ardent Studios in the mid-’70s, but vexed the music industry at the time, and was given a belated, minor indie-label release at the end of the decade. However, the music and myth of Third would grow exponentially in the decades to come. When it was finally issued on CD in the early ’90s, the record was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “untidy masterpiece ... beautiful and disturbing, pristine and unkempt — and vehemently original.” 1 North Carolina musician Chris Stamey had long been enamored of the record and the idea of recreating the Third album (along with full string arrangements) live on stage. He was close to realizing a version of the show with a reunited, latter- day Big Star lineup, when the band’s camp suffered a series of losses: first, with the passing of Third producer Jim Dickinson in 2009, and then the PHOTO BY YALONDA M.

  • On Bach's Bottomby Alex Chilton
    On Bach’s Bottom by Alex Chilton Elizabeth Barker Not too many years ago, I stole a rock star’s likeness for my novel and then he asked me on a date. He’s the singer for a band I’ve loved since I was 14, one of the most enduring infatuations of my life. The character I based on him was very minor: my protagonist’s most adored ex-boyfriend, who wore beaded necklaces and ate his ice cream from the pint, with a butter knife instead of a spoon. He existed in flashbacks where kids drank Alex Chilton warm beer on back porches in the New England summertime, Rickie Lee Jones on the Bach’s Bottom radio. In one scene he dragged his finger through the melted frosting of a lemon danish, on a front stoop on a Sunday morning when he and his girl had barely slept and both had 1981 exciting hair, unwashed and ocean-salty. Line Records There wasn’t much point in adding that character to the story. I mostly stole the singer’s likeness so that I could infuse some of his goofball aura into my book. His aura was the exact sunny-yellow of the nucleus of a lemon danish, and I wanted to use him like a filmmaker uses pop songs to siphon off the sentiment of the melody. A few months after I wrote that section of my book, the singer moved to Los Angeles, to my side of town. And it unthrills me to get to this part of the story, because no one ever wants to use the word Twitter when they’re talking about love—but I suppose that’s the reality of the world today.

  • Alex Chilton By:Dave Hoekstra Jan
    Alex Chilton by:Dave Hoekstra Jan. 30, 1994 The pairing of Alex Chilton and Ben Vaughn is a natural. Each is a terrifically perceptive songwriter, influenced by the wonder of 1960s AM radio, but stimulated by the challenge of reinvention in the 1990s. Chilton, 42, grew up in Memphis, Tenn., where he played in the Box Tops from 1967-70 and the celebrated Big Star from 1971-74. Chilton's songs have been recorded by the Bangles, R.E.M. and the Replacements, who paid homage with the hit tune "Alex Chilton." Besides working as a songwriter, he has been a cabbie and a dishwasher, and last year, took part in an acclaimed Big Star reunion. Vaughn, 38, was borm in Camden, N.J. Marshall Crenshaw had a hit with Vaughn's "I'm Sorry (But So Is Brenda Lee)," and the Skeletons dipped into the Vaughn songbag for "I Dig Your Wig" and "Lookin' for a 7-11." Vaughn is a passionate American musicologist, having compiled and annotated "Johnny Otis: The Capitol Years," and last year, produced the late Arthur Alexander's "Lonely Just Like Me." Besides being a songwriter, he's been a landscaper and a dishwasher. His new record is "Mono U.S.A." (Bar None Records). Chilton and Vaughn met in the mid-1980s, when they did some Midwestern dates together, and now the Ben Vaughn Combo will open for Chilton Friday at Metro.[Editors note: the cover was only $4!] Chilton and Vaughn plan to collaborate on some new songs. On a conference call last week, Chilton and Vaughn discussed the craft of songwriting.

  • Record Dreams Catalog
    RECORD DREAMS 50 Hallucinations and Visions of Rare and Strange Vinyl Vinyl, to: vb. A neologism that describes the process of immersing yourself in an antique playback format, often to the point of obsession - i.e. I’m going to vinyl at Utrecht, I may be gone a long time. Or: I vinyled so hard that my bank balance has gone up the wazoo. The end result of vinyling is a record collection, which is defned as a bad idea (hoarding, duplicating, upgrading) often turned into a good idea (a saleable archive). If you’re reading this, you’ve gone down the rabbit hole like the rest of us. What is record collecting? Is it a doomed yet psychologically powerful wish to recapture that frst thrill of adolescent recognition or is it a quite understandable impulse to preserve and enjoy totemic artefacts from the frst - perhaps the only - great age of a truly mass art form, a mass youth culture? Fingering a particularly juicy 45 by the Stooges, Sweet or Sylvester, you could be forgiven for answering: fuck it, let’s boogie! But, you know, you’re here and so are we so, to quote Double Dee and Steinski, what does it all mean? Are you looking for - to take a few possibles - Kate Bush picture discs, early 80s Japanese synth on the Vanity label, European Led Zeppelin 45’s (because of course they did not deign to release singles in the UK), or vastly overpriced and not so good druggy LPs from the psychedelic fatso’s stall (Rainbow Ffolly, we salute you)? Or are you just drifting, browsing, going where the mood and the vinyl takes you? That’s where Utrecht scores.
