Re: Blah blah blah

 

Toby:

Speaking of "awful, but strangely alluring", I regularly get a song stuck
in my head - I'm pretty sure that Pete introduced me to the band.? I
know the song's called Nature, but that's all I've got.? There's some
high-pitched caterwauling, some fairly shambolic vocals and a really
really catchy section of tune.? It goes like this bom bom bom,
bom-ba-bom-ba-bom, da-da-doo-doo da-da-doo-doo.? Anyway, I love it, but
I can't remember for the life of me.

Pete?? PETE!?

Ah!? That would be ' Nature Is The Most Boring Mystery', by Bird Names!

I found it on an MP3 blog called... I can't remember what it was called but it had "Sheep" in the name
and was run by someone in Toronto.

I still have the mp3 so lemme know if you want a copy.? It's hard to find online; it was one of the band's first tracks and only released on a CDr:


Their first 'proper' album is nearest in sound/spirit, except maybe *more* lo-fi.? Excerpts here:


Pretty much everything else by the band (now defunct) is on Bandcamp:


'Open Relationship' is their TNSG, 'Wooden Lake/Sexual Diner' is their Dragnet.

I just did! I think I really like it, but it's possible I may hate it.
I can't quite decide.

I don’t know if this is owt or nowt. There was a late 70s NZ band called Blah Blah Blah. They are mostly known for the i singles “Don’t Fight It Marsha, It’s Bigger That Both of Us” and “There is no Depression in New Zealand”.

Speaking of songs stuck in one's head for years and years...

I often have had this tune stuck in my head, a tune that has some added kiddie lyrics about a little goat... Basically, some "real" song with some added joke/jingle lyrics that we thought were funny when we were kids (all this in Greek).

It goes like this: aba-ni-bi-ah-ba-ni-beh---to katsikaki kanei behhh (translation:"aba-ni-bi-ah-ba-ni-beh---the little goat goes "beeeh").?

?

So I googled it, in Greek characters, about a month ago (after decades of singing it at random moments, without having a clue as to the origin)

?"α μπα νι μπι α μπα νι μπε"

And what do I find????!!!!

it is the 1978 Eurovision entry of Israel (and winner of the contest):

I don't know what amazed me more: how old the origins of that melody embedded in my brain is, or the fact that I put the query?in Google (which makes zero sense in Greek, it's just meaningless syllables) and it found it immediately...

The fall gig was 28 June at the welly in hull. I was also going to post the contract and flyer but they’ve already been ‘upped’ (). (The contract courtesy of Tony Menzie who was in the original Coum Transmissions (TG) band as a 16 year old!)

I also found a scribbled list of appearance fees which doesn’t tally with the amount paid to the Fall on the contact. Cold case anyone?

I was at most of those gigs as a 17 year old but inexplicably didn’t go and see Magazine or the Not Sensibles. Slaughter and the Dogs had Ed Banger on vocals. Hmmmm.

Funny you should mention that runny cheese you sent via cycle courier from NZ. Did I mention that when I opened the package, some of it escaped and flew out of the window and split into 2 before I had chance to stop it.

Conspiracy theorists note that the ‘flying cheese incident’ immediately preceded the appearance of Trump and Johnson on the world stage. I’m not drawing any conclusions, I leave that to you.

Ooooh, On The Wire – I used to listen to that show every Sunday afternoon. Where else but on local Lancashire radio would you get a 3 hour tribute to Yabby U one week and an interview with MES and two hours of acid house the next?

?

On The Wire were the people who “discovered” my band. We were premiered the same week as The Levellers (5) and New FADS on the ‘demos’ session. That was a good trio of bands wasn’t it, well, a good duo at least. We were lucky enough to be interviewed live on air on by Steve Barker a few years later.

?

I only just found out yesterday that On The Wire was taken off air in March of this year. Casualty of COVID apparently but I suspect they’d been trying to dump it for years.

There was enough money flooding around for there to be a security by the desk ensuring no sneaky line-outs, I reckon

Thanks Stefan, it doesn't sound too bad, hopefully the LP sounds as good. Live albums from the Beggars Banquet years are a bit of a rarity. It's strange that good quality desk recordings didn't surface from this period when the group was fairly well funded.

Re: "Recent" Fall releases

 

I love buying Fall records but this is crazy saturation of the market.?

I bought the Let Them Eat Vinyl release of Interim a few months ago, which was a sensible release to put out as it had only been on CD previously. When I received it I was fairly taken aback by the flyer inside the record advertising LETV's current and future vinyl releases. 41 Fall albums!

Just about everything from both Sets of Ten
The From The Vaults series
The Knitting Factory/Garage/ATP series
A reissue of The Light User Syndrome
I Am As Pure As Oranj
and a few others live albums

I've pre-ordered I Am As Pure As Oranj and I might go for Live From The Vaults?Alter Bahnhof when it's available just?for the version of Session Musician on there.
But the rest of the live stuff I'll leave, I didn't buy them first time around on CD.

I don’t know whether anybody knows Lucidvox, they’re great. I just heard a track from the new LP that sounds exactly like a collaboration between Goat and the Trio Bulgarka.

?

It is bollock-twangingly brilliant.

?

Every thing I’ve heard by Lucidvox has been tremendous. Ditto Goat for that matter.

Indeed.

I was looking through the OTW archive the other day to see our interview was on there but I don’t think it was.

I seem to remember setting a 4 hour video to record the radio just before we set off for Blackburn for the interview so I probably have a recording somewhere. I probably sounded all high pitched and enthusiastic as I hadn't yet been beaten-down into the gutter by the shit-storm that passes as life.

Re: Hello'een

 

Aha, I'd remembered it was John - I specifically recall an off-list email
discussion where you said there were already too many Johns on list. I
can't remember what I did last week, but I can remember this.

Hello again everyone. I'm mostly listening to classical these days: Sibelius, Mahler, DeBussey and all those French guys from around the same time Ravel etc.
