    Deliciously Crazy By Order Of Mayor Pawlicki, Pere Ubu (2CD, Cherry Red) When I interviews David Thomas, lead singer of Pere Ubu, back the end of the 20th Century, he had this to say about gigs: 'We don't like touring. We like the playing but not the driving. We don't like being in the newspaper. We don't have anything to say that anybody wants to hear. We don't care. I think that sums it up.' Mind you, he also said that he 'always thought [Pere Ubu] were a very traditional rock band. No, we are a very traditional rock band and always have been. It's not our fault that others have abandoned their roots and culture and traditions.' If you've heard the lurching, cacophonous monster that is Pere Ubu making music then you will probably be as sceptical as me. Pere Ubu came screaming out of Cleveland Ohio on the tail of American new wave and punk. Desperate to find new things to write about, the UK music press created scenes were there were none, invented fictional success stories and nonsensical controversies, launching a thousand bands they would later torpedo and sink. Some how, Pere Ubu are still afloat on an ocean of ragged vocals, jagged guitar, squawky synthesizers and offbeat rhythms. The press release uses the phrases 'dedicated brutality' which comes pretty close. I love Pere Ubu. They have never sounded like anyone else, have never bowed to peer or critical pressure, and have ploughed their own way through the music industry from the word go.

The "blank generation" came out of a moral vacuum. While punks roamed the suburban landscape, blue-collar workers were feeling the pinch of an economic revolution: human society had left the industrial age and entered the post-industrial age, the age in which services (such as software) prevail over manufacturing. Computers now rule the world, from Wall Street to Boeing. The assembly line took away a bit of the personality of the worker, but that was nothing: the new service- based economy takes away the worker completely, physically. In the post-industrial society the individual is even less of a "person". The individual is merely a cog in a huge organism of interconnected parts that works at the beat of a gigantic network of computers. This highly sophisticated economy treats the individual as a number, as a statistic. The goal is no longer to create a robot that behaves like a human being, but to create a human being that behaves like a robot: robots are efficient and lead to manageable and profitable businesses, whereas humans are inefficient and difficult to manage.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).

  • John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards
    John Lurie and The Lounge Lizards John Lurie the sax player, the actor, the painter and the fisherman. Though this might sound like a schizophrenic portrait it's simply the truth. All these different personalities suit in the same physical body. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts on December 14 1952, he's mostly known as the founder of The Lounge Lizards, a modern jazz ensemble featuring a bunch of hipsters of the New York Downtown scene. Along with his brother Evan on piano there were Arto Lindsay (guitar), Anton Fier (drums) and Steve Piccolo (bass). This is the band playing inside “The Lounge Lizards” (EEG, 1981), their first official album, although the band was already active at the end of the seventies. The ensemble underwent a few changes over the years: Arto Lindsay was later replaced by Marc Ribot on guitar and more elements were added until the band expanded into an octet, sometimes even a nonet, maintaining John Lurie in New York, 1982 however their typical unsettling, ironic, often sharp, sound. The Lounge Lizards perfectly embodied the Downtown noir-like atmosphere surrounding the artists in New York at the beginning of the eighties. “No pain for cakes” (Island, 1987), “Voice of Chunk” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1990), “Queen of all ears” (Strange & Beautiful Music, 1998) plus a bunch of live recordings followed their self-titled debut release and are the overall output of the band. Not too much of an output considering when the band was formed, but John used the stage to refine, rearrange and shape the tunes over and over.

  • Tesi Del Dott. Jacopo Conti: Minimalismo ... -.:: Franco Fabbri
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO FACOLTÀ DI SCIENZE DELLA FORMAZIONE CORSO DI STUDIO TRIENNALE IN D.A.M.S. DISSERTAZIONE FINALE Minimalismo, modalità e improvvisazione nella musica dei nuovi King Crimson Relatore: Candidato: Ernesto Napolitano Jacopo Conti matr. n° 259083 Anno accademico 2006 - 2007 A mia zia, che credeva in me e mi ha sempre sostenuto. 1 PREMESSA “King Crimson was more a revolving door than a band. ” - Robert Palmer La cronologia dei King Crimson (KC) dal 1969 al 2003 è assai articolata, e include vari stili e molti musicisti con una sola presenza fissa, quella di Robert Fripp (1946), chitarrista e compositore inglese fondatore del gruppo. Considerati tra i fondatori del progressive rock, pubblicano l’album In The Court Of The Crimson King 1 nel 1969 con Fripp alla chitarra, Ian McDonald (1946) al sax e al mellotron, Michael Giles (1942) alla batteria, Greg Lake (1948) al basso e alla voce e Peter Sinfield (1943) nel ruolo di paroliere. I lunghi brani strutturati, gli elaborati riff suonati all’unisono e i testi di ispirazione fantastica e fiabesca non solo diventano la caratteristica principale del gruppo, ma anche gli elementi fondanti del nuovo genere. Già con il secondo lp, In The Wake Of Poseidon (1970), la formazione viene rimodellata: Mel Collins (1947) prende il posto di McDonald al sax, Gordon Haskell canta in alcuni brani (durante la lavorazione del disco Greg Lake abbandona il gruppo per andare a costituire il trio Emerson, Lake & Palmer), si aggiunge al pianoforte Keith Tippett (1947). Il gruppo si scioglie per qualche mese dopo l’incisione del disco per poi tornare, con un’altra formazione, alla fine del 1970.

  • Press Release for Easter Rising Published by Houghton Mifflin
    Press Release Easter Rising by Michael Patrick MacDonald • About the Book • About the Author • A Conversation with Michael Patrick MacDonald • Advance Praise for Easter Rising • Praise for All Souls • Easter Rising Play List • 2006 Tour for Michael Patrick MacDonald "MacDonald courageously continues to break Southie's silence in this tale of a journey that is as inspiring as it is haunting." — Publishers Weekly, starred review "MacDonald's gift is that he guides us with vision, insight, humor, and the clear, chiseled word. His is a rare sleight of hand." — Colum McCann, author of This Side of Brightness and Dancer About the Book In his best-selling All Souls: A Family Story from Southie, Michael Patrick MacDonald told the powerful story of a decimated community and family, chronicling the loss of four siblings to the violence, poverty, and gangsterism of Boston's Irish American ghetto. In Easter Rising: An Irish American Coming Up from Under, his long-awaited new memoir, MacDonald tells his own story of escaping from that world, immersing himself in the 1980s punk music scene, and traveling to Ireland twice, roots journeys that inspired him to reclaim his heritage as a source of pride rather than shame. Easter Rising begins with young Michael's first forays outside the soul-crushing walls of Southie's Old Colony housing project. In downtown Boston he discovers the club scene swirling around local bands like Mission of Burma and visiting Brits like the Clash, the Slits, and Johnny Rotten. He eventually winds up in New York's East Village at the height of that neighborhood's annus mirabilis, with bands such as the Bad Brains and the Beastie Boys.
