The Orchids - Unholy Soul - 1991

Studio Recordings @320

{Out of Print}

Unholy Soul is one of those albums that, hearing it for the first time, just makes you wonder where the band has been all this time. If Striving for the Lazy Perfection was their pinnacle, Unholy Soul is more than simply a lead up to it, 12 songs of emotional wit, sparkling U.K. indie pop arrangements spiked with a variety of electronic elements and a killer touch in James Hackett's vocals. While as seemingly drowsy as that of so many contemporary shoegazers -- something that the band's arrangements often parallel as well, though The Orchids favor a richness of texture over feedback overdrive and lots of digital delay -- Hackett's understatement isn't precious fragility but rumination, the voice of someone thinking things over in his head who occasionally finds courage to speak.
~Ned Raggett AMG

To me it sounds like a mellower, wimpier version of the Stone Roses, 

but what do I know.

Initially, 'Double Live' was made as a limited edition of 10,000 vinyl copies, 7,500 cassette copies and 4,750 compact disc copies. Even harder for me to believe, I don't think I've ever seen an actual copy of this live BS offering - in any independent record store that I used to so frequently go through (when most of them still existed). Sound quality on 'Double Live' couldn't be better. Material on this must-own / must-have / must-hear 2-CD archive masterpiece (in it's own right) are from the

Newermind (Various Artists) - Spin's Tribute To Nirvana - 2011

Newermind (Various Artists) 

Spin's Tribute To Nirvana

Studio recordings @ 256

SPIN’s August 2011 issue pays tribute to the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind, and as part of our package we tapped some of our favorite contemporary artists to cover the influential album’s 13 songs, in their original order. The download is called Newermind, and it’s our gift to you.

We were happy that two of Kurt Cobain’s personal faves — the Meat Puppets and the Vaselines, both of whom Nirvana famously covered during their MTV Unplugged taping — joined our effort. Below you’ll find the complete album tracklist, with reflections from each contributing artist.

We’re sorry, this download is no longer available
~Spin

Some really interesting and sometimes twisted renditions of some of Nirvana's best.

    MEAT PUPPETS
    “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
    One of two bands on this tribute to have been covered by Nirvana, the Meat Puppets chose to repay the compliment by tackling Nevermind‘s best-known song. “It wasn’t daunting,” says Curt Kirkwood, whose band is on tour in September. “‘Teen Spirit’ is just a few chords. It’s easy to play — slap some reverb on there and it’s good to go.” And anyway, he continues, “This was a cool, weird opportunity — like playing with Nirvana on MTV Unplugged — so we’re happy to take it.”

    BUTCH WALKER & THE BLACK WIDOWS
    “In Bloom”

    “I was in my late teens playing shitty glam metal when Nevermind came along and fucked all that up,” says the L.A.-based Walker — and he means that in a good way. “They saved my career. I got to try making different kinds of music.” Still, there’s a trace of a less-than-fashionable influence on this “In Bloom.” “We slipped some Yes into the guitar solo,” he admits. “It’s a tribute inside a tribute.”

    MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS
    “Come As You Are”
    Even on the other side of the world, Nevermind‘s impact was immediate. After the album’s release, says Vincent Vendetta, frontman for the Melbourne dance-rockers, “all my school friends and I started playing Nirvana songs in our bands.” He even witnessed Nirvanamania firsthand. “The one time they came to Australia, I passed a record store where Kurt was being interviewed with a big crowd watching. It was hugely powerful for a ten-year-old to see.”

    TITUS ANDRONICUS
    “Breed”

    “Nevermind is a rare thing,” posits main man Patrick Stickles. “Since indie-rock music is so diverse, there’s not always much common ground. But an album like this unites us across time, which is why I wanted to be faithful to the song we covered.” There’s also another, more fundamental reason. “The riff,” he says, “is bad-ass.” You can hear Titus Andronicus’ similarly incorrigible riffs this month at Lollapalooza.

    THE VASELINES
    “Lithium”
    After Kurt and Co. performed the Vaselines’ “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam,” on MTV Unplugged, the Scottish twee-poppers were “always being asked if we’d ever cover a Nirvana song,” explains singer-guitarist Eugene Kelly. “We’d always said no. We just didn’t think we could find a way to do it that wasn’t going to feel stupid.” Seventeen years later, they have. “Keep it sparse,” he says of their approach. “The more simple and naive the better.”

    AMANDA PALMER
    “Polly”

    For alt-cabaret chanteuse Palmer, the genius of “Polly” has more to do with words than sounds. “It’s entirely possible that the production on Nevermind is going to feel dated in 50 years, if it doesn’t already,” she says. “The mystery in the lyrics to a song like ‘Polly’ is so profound. People will always be trying to make sense of what the fuck exactly Kurt was singing about. That’s what makes a song last.”

    SURFER BLOOD
    “Territorial Pissings”
    Even if, as singer-guitarist J.P. Pitts notes, “Kurt Cobain was dead before I could tie my shoes,” he’s had a complex relationship with Nevermind. “It was one of my favorite records. Then I went through a phase where I thought it was too ’90s.” Having come back around, Pitts found beauty in “the combination of perfect structures and weird, strange chords.”

    FOXY SHAZAM
    “Drain You”

    “I’m the Nirvana guy in the band,” boasts Daisy, bassist for the Cincinnati glam rockers. “Right away I knew ‘Drain You’ would be best for us. We’re more of a vocally oriented band than anything else, and the melody line lets us showcase that.” Well, that and “it would’ve been intimidating to do one of the big hits.” Instead, he says, five minutes after the band chose the song, “we were getting drunk and jamming out on it.”

    JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD
    “Lounge Act”
    Mayfield has a confession to make: “I found out about Nirvana through the Foo Fighters. I’m sure I’m not the only one who walked that discovery trail.” Her reason for picking “Lounge Act” is less contentious. “I love how the verse and chorus feel like they have no relationship to each other. It’s like two different songs.” Just don’t ask her to choose between them. “That’s like picking the coldest ice cube.”

    CHARLES BRADLEY & THE MENAHAN STREET BAND
    “Stay Away”
    The fact that Bradley is a 62-year-old soul shouter made this cover a particularly interesting one for Menahan majordomo Thomas Brenneck. “Charles is a very spiritual cat,” he says. “We couldn’t have him singing the line ‘God is gay.’ The rest of the song, Charles kills, but the lyrics are so different from what he normally sings. Hopefully, that tension made the song better.” Bradley is on the road in September.

    TELEKINESIS
    “On a Plain”

    This project literally could not have been complete without a last-second assist from Seattle’s own Michael Benjamin Lerner, filling in when one someone — no need to name names, so let’s just say it was Wavves — went AWOL. “Those songs are magical and kind of untouchable, says Lerner, who put out one of SPIN’s favorite albums of this year, 12 Desperate Straight Lines. “So this was a superfun challenge, plus I got to take my new studio for a test drive — I’d just moved and this was the first song I recorded there.” Win-win.

    JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD
    “Something in the Way”
    “The idea was to take the least heavy song on Nirvana’s least heavy album and give it the JEFF treatment — make it real doomy. That’s all we know how to do!” says guitarist Jake Orrall, who, with his drummer brother Jamin, make up the Nashville duo. They also initially recorded their version to cassette tape before digitizing it, for extra ’90s flavor. The band is on tour this month with Valient Thorr and Pentagram.

    EMA
    “Endless Nameless”
    It may pop up ten minutes after “Something in the Way,” but the coruscating hidden track “Endless, Nameless” wasn’t an afterthought for EMA, who’s touring this fall. “I wasn’t interested in covering any of the other songs,” offers the fuzz-loving alt-rocker. “The statement this one makes is just so awesome. All that noise and abrasion was the band saying, ‘We’re still punk.’ I really wanted to try and capture that spirit.

Luxuria was a British pop music band made up of vocalist Howard Devoto (formerly of Buzzcocks and Magazine) and instrumentalist Norman Fisher-Jones, aka "Noko." The band was active in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Devoto and Noko met through Pete Shelley, supposedly bonding over a competition to read Marcel Proust (Noko won). The two recorded six collections of material.
In 1987, they signed to Beggars Banquet and formed Luxuria. In 1988, they released their debut album, Unanswerable Lust. Their second and final album, Beast Box, was released in 1990.

Anyone remember this recording? I had forgotten all about Howard Devoto and The Luxuria project put together by him and former bandmate Noko until digging through my music looking for something else. An excellent recording, stands up really well even 25 years later!

Live Skull - Dusted 1987

Studio Recordings - @320

Out of Print

Live Skull formed in downtown New York City in 1982, founded by the guitar/bandleader tandem of Mark C. and Tom Paine. The earliest line-up included Julie Hair on vocals and Dan Braun on drums. They were soon joined by drummer James Lo and Marnie Greenholz (Paine's then-girlfriend), on bass guitar. In 1984, a self-titled debut 12" EP saw release on the tiny Massive label. They soon signed with indie label Homestead Records, which released their 1985 debut full-length Bringing Home the Bait. On this LP, vocal duties were shared by Greenholz, Paine, and C. 1986 album Cloud One featured slightly more accessible song structures. A live album called Don't Get Any on You was recorded at CBGB later that year.  Thalia Zedek joined the band as lead singer in 1987, taking over most of the vocal duties so that the other members could concentrate on their instruments. Zedek had previously played in the Boston-area post-punk outfits White Women, Dangerous Birds, and Uzi. The band also replaced Lo with ex-Ruin drummer Rich Hutchins. Zedek and Hutchins debuted on 1987's Dusted, which spawned a black-and-white music video for the song "5-D," likely filmed in the same abandoned warehouse featured in the album's cover art. (This video later appeared on the Twelve O'Clock High video compilation.

It’s not surprising that history has been a bit negligent to Live Skull. After all, Sonic Youth released Sister the same year as Dusted, and any shred of competition between Sonic Youth and their New York contemporaries (including Live Skull) would be obliterated with the follow-up release of Daydream Nation in 1988. Frankly, when a shadow that huge is cast, it’s easy to overlook where it falls. To compare the two bands on that basis is unfair, but they are worth linking, as Live Skull’s general sound often strikes me as a spikier progression of what Sonic Youth evoked on Bad Moon Rising: unease and dread in the shape of eerie, foreboding noise-rock. Dusted is just where Live Skull hit a cohesive peak.

DVD Rip @192
{Out of Print}

Weather Report are captured live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1976 in this made for Swiss TV video recording.

Jaco Pastorius had been in the bass slot just a few months but harnessing his great potential had already led to the replacement of drummer Chester Thompson with Alex Acuña (who had been playing percussion) and the introduction of Manolo Badrena (joining in the vacant percussion slot). As Joe Zawinul recalled: "As great a drummer as Chester was, he and Jaco didn't flow. Jaco was more of an upbeat player - more driving…… We had Alex Acuña move over to the drums and then Badrena came in. All of a sudden we had some smokin' stuff again."

Most of the material performed is from the "Black Market" album from earlier that year which had marked Jaco Pastorius' first recording in the band. Only "Scarlet Woman" (from "Mysterious Traveller"), "Badia (from "Tale Spinnin'") and the medley "Dr Honoris Causa / Directions" are from elsewhere.
