Gossip

Looking forward to the new album from Filthy Friends (feat Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney and Peter Buck of R.E.M.). Corin is also working with Janet and Carrie on a new Sleater-Kinney album, produced by St. Vincent.

Would like to catch these tours: Johnny Marr, Stephen Malkmus (solo), Gary Clark, Jr., Albert Hammond, Jr., Ezra Furman, Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers (Better Oblivion Community Center).

Listening to Better Oblivion made me want to listen to Phoebe Bridgers' 2017 breakthrough album Stranger In The Alps. It's excellent. P.S. Much love to Phoebe for helping expose Ryan Adams.

Phoebe Bridgers & Conor Oberst: Better Oblivion Community Center

The second album from Sean Lennon and Les Claypool of Primus is interesting. Most of the songs are quite long and trippy. Psychedelic pop which for some reason, reminds one of The Beatles and Primus.

Excited about new music from Pete Doherty, who I know from his work with The Libertines and The Babyshambles. There's a single out now, with an album coming out in April.

Ian Brown of The Stone Roses has a new album out, his first in quite some time. Nice to hear from him again. I was reminded how much I liked his previous solo album, 2007's The World Is Yours. It's rare to find songs with political and social commentary which aren't preachy and still sound good. Ian manages to pull it of. I particularly enjoyed his duet with Sinead O'Connor "Illegal Attacks".

Was intrigued to learn that Marvin Gaye's lost 1972 album "You're The Man" is finally coming out in March 2019. It was intended as a follow-up to the socially-conscious "What's Going On", but was said to have been shelved at the time by Motown chief Barry Gordy.

Still can't believe I never heard of Fanny until recently. Early '70s, four-piece female rock band who were great, especially live, from what I understand.

Paramount Pictures is releasing Rocketman, an Elton John biopic in May. Here's the trailer. Looks pretty good!

And finally... had never seen this before.... Joe Strummer, 2002 show in Acton, London, a benefit for striking firemen... Mick Jones jumped up on stage for a few songs, leading to an ersatz reunion of The Clash... Sadly, Joe died the following month....

Cool, New Song by Johnny Marr: "Armatopia" (Video)

Johnny Marr seems to be on a roll lately. The legendary Smiths guitarist has been shining as a singer/songwriter/guitarist/frontman as of late. We enjoyed his work with Modest Mouse and his Call The Comet topped the "Best Of 2018" list for ThisSmallPlanet.com and many others.

Johnny will be touring in 2019. Catch him if you can.

Ezra Furman is one of our favorite new artists. We loved last year's Transangelic Exodus. Now he's releasing an EP of covers Songs By Others on February 22, 2019 on Bella Union. 

Ezra says of "Good Book": "It's a genius song. I had actually never heard a song that is about what that song is about: how an audience wants something from a performer and wants reassurance, like, "Tell us you love us with a book or a song or a poem because we need it." And that was a time when we were putting out Perpetual Motion People, and we had really been pretty obscure. That was the first album of ours that came out where it felt like a lot of people were waiting for it to come out and talking about it and playing the lead single on the radio. So I was just thinking a lot about what can be emotional or tender or beautiful in the audience-performer relationship. That song is like, "Tell us you love us so we don't feel alone," and it seems like the best thing a song could do -- to make someone not feel so alone."

On his love of cover songs, Ezra says:

"A good song takes you far," sang Jackson Browne on tour in the 70's. It's true, and very strange-- how these little three-minute compositions crafted on a whim in a bedroom end up bringing us out on planes and highways, into bars and ballrooms and radio stations, pouring out our hearts and lungs for those who themselves were pulled out of their rooms and into the world by the power of song. Browne understood this: he himself was covering Danny O'Keefe's perfect ode to the bizarre, bittersweet life of a traveling musician, and when I listen to it crammed in a van full of instruments speeding across rainy Germany, it hits hard.

I have always played other people's songs, alone and with friends, at home and on the road. I know our audiences' main interest is in our original songs, and for that I'm honored. But I can't seem to stop playing covers. Every time we are preparing to go on tour I can't help assembling the Boy-Friends and demanding that we learn a new cover song to play live. I listen to so much great music and just ache to be able to inhabit it more fully. I want to be Beck or Melanie or Jackie Wilson. So this record is me playing dress-up, with the help of my incredible band.

(Don't miss that point-- The Boy-Friends are an incredible band that can do anything, without whom my voice would not be in your earholes.)

Thanks for indulging us in these cover versions, pieced together from studio recordings, recordings made on tour in backstage rooms and hotels, and a live show in Austria. I'd like to point out that we've included a song from every decade since rock'n'roll has been a viable marketing category, the 1950's through the 2010's. You are encouraged to look up the original versions if you've never heard them. They blew my mind."

-Ezra Furman, December 2015

Roger Stone Used Crosshairs Logo From Pro-Trump Conspiracy Site Which Also Threatened Hillary, Judges, and a Mueller Prosecutor

UPDATE: Roger Stone has until today (June 27, 2019) to demonstrate that he has not violated the gag order. He may be in jail by the end of the day. It recently emerged that Stone formerly worked (briefly) for the weird sex cult NXIVM as this Newsweek article shows.

Roger Stone may go to jail on Thursday (February 21, 2019) for posting a threatening photo of the federal judge overseeing his case with a crosshair target above her head.

Stone tried to claim on Instagram that the symbols were "Celtic" and that they "are in fact the logo of the organization that originally posted it something called corruption central" but research has shown that the image was taken from an American Intelligence Media article, "Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. Protects His Fellow Swarm Rats - Impeach Him" from February 4, 2019, which also threatened Hillary Clinton and others (Judge Leonard P. Stark, Judge James E. Boasberg, Judge Reggie B. Walton, attorney Christina M. Tchen, and attorney Jeannie Rhee; a prosecutor from Mueller's team) with the same crosshairs target logo directly above their heads in the upper left corner of a "playing card" featuring purported Democratic super-villains. (To accommodate those who communicate exclusively by memes these days.)

"Corruption Central" appears to refer to the "team" or "category" the individuals are said to belong to. The right corner of the card, which resembles a baseball card or a game card, contains a warning triangle branding them "Toxic" and "Attorney" accompanied by a skull and crossbones.

The article states these individuals should be targeted because of their involvement with issuing FISA warrants against Carter Page (which exposed links between the Trump campaign and Russia), The Clinton Foundation, and the Mueller investigation of the Trump campaign's illicit ties to Russia.

The use of the crosshair (the image of a target as seen through a rifle sight) by American Intelligence Media (acronym: AIM) implies those pictured are deserving of being shot, which should be considered an illegal threat against the lives of those individuals.

Interestingly, American Intelligence Media seems to target women, Jews, and people of color they perceive as anti-Trump with their Crosshair/Corruption Central "playing cards".

American Intelligence Media is connected with the American far-right as well as with pro-Russian bots and trolls.

Stephen Malkmus New Electronica Album: Not As Bad As We Feared...

Stephen Malkmus, guitar genius, announced he was doing a solo album of electronic beats and such; some Pavement and Malkmus fans feared the worst.

But I'm here to tell you I'm listening to the new album Groove Denied and it is not as bad as we feared... and is actually pretty good.

First of all, it doesn't have any "dance instrumentals". The songs are actually songs, not fragments, riffs, or grooves alone. They have actual lyrics and this being Malkmus, the lyrics are worth listening to.

A giant sigh of relief.

Fanny Rocks!

Four women, two of them sisters from Sacramento via The Philippines (where they were born to an American man stationed in the military and his Filipina wife), rocked the world as "Fanny" in the early '70s. Bowie was a fan. I was surprised, after seeing to a video of them for the first time recently, that I had never heard of them before. They rock!
