V04-T11 Paper Balloon Bomb

.....Most volumes in this compilation series include cover songs and every other one (or thereabouts) may have a non-English cover of an English language original. This is the rare occasion of a foreign language original.

Volume 4: "THE LITTLE BROWN ONES ARE THORAZINE, GEORGE", track 11

• 02:59 "PAPER BALLOON BOMB (Junnosuke Kawaguchi, Hiroto Kohmoto)
• performed by The Blue Hearts
• original source: LP TRAIN TRAIN Meldac Records MEL-50 (Japan) November 23, 1988
• and my source: CD BLAST OFF! Juggler Records JTD-2 (US) 1991

.....I'm going to default to my original 1994 liner notes for this one:

....."I don't know if Blue Hearts are supposed to be any relation to Purple Hearts, a pill of choice among British mods in the 1960's, but the band seems to understand the value of properly abused amphetamines.

....." Japanese pop music generally is almost the worst in the world. (Indian pop beats it, at least.) Most of the charting acts are openly groomed, corporate-sponsored 'idols', their careers laid down in print before they've even touched an instrument or used a microphone. Typically, the Japanese think nothing of this. No one even bothers pretending that musical prowess enters into the equation. The Blue Hearts are a glorious exception. Other tracks show they've spent a lot of time listening to the Ramones. That's a sure mark of someone who has learned to play by trial and error (the best way, really). The CD comes with lyrics in Japanese and English, so if you're really interested in a translation it's no problem.

....."The only other release from Juggler Records that I could find was JTD-1, a six song compilation of Blue Hearts' singles. Both of these CD's are in the cut-out bins, but make great listening despite the language barrier."

.....Okay, it's 2011 again. After 17 years, some updating is in order.

1. J-pop is still around, of course, but while Japanese radio may still sound like the second half of any given season of American Idol played at the wrong speed, the internet has given the beleaguered Japanese public so many other choices that it's debatable if even half the population has even heard this year's domestic top ten. And Indian pop has improved considerably, mostly in the last decade.
2. The two principles in The Blue Hearts dissolved the group a little more than a year after I made this compilation, then formed High-Low. In the past decade they reorganized again as Cro-Magnon, at least according to Wikipedia.
3. For the moment, the offer stands regarding the lyrics. I recently confirmed that I still have the same copy of the CD.
4. I still haven't found any other titles on the Juggler label.

.....In the next entry, punk by way of Sun Ra.

V04-T10 Defreeze Walt Disney

.....[yaaaawwn...] So, is it February yet? Where was I? Oh, yeah. "A whole different kind of tribute" to Disney.

Volume 4: "THE LITTLE BROWN ONES ARE THORAZINE, GEORGE", track 10

• 01:30 "DEFREEZE WALT DISNEY" (Steve Westfield, Dave Montovani)
• performed by Pajama Slave Dancers
• original source: [see below] LP BLOOD, SWEAT AND BEERS Restless 72234-1 (US) 1988
• and my source: the same

.....First things first; while the album listed above is definitely the source I used for the compilation tape, the recording sounds very much like an earlier release by the same band on their own label with a different line-up. After using this track I discovered the two LP's released on their Pajamarama Records label, CHEAP IS REAL (PR881, 1985) and PAJAMA BEACH PARTY (PR883, 1986). Of the 18 songs on BLOOD, SWEAT AND BEERS, seven come from the 1985 album and four came from the 1986 album. However, between the 1985 album (where "DEFREEZE WALT DISNEY" originally appeared) and the 1986 album the band changed their drummer and bass player. The 1986 personnel are the ones also credited on the 1988 album. A subsequent Restless album, 1989's HEAVY PETTING ZOO, was followed by long stretches of few releases, mainly live recordings and re-recordings of songs like these from the 1980's. The question I can't seem to answer is whether the version I used is a re-recording with the second line-up or the 1985 recording with the original musicians going uncredited. For the sake of argument, the 1985 bassist was Jim-Joe Greedy and the drummer was Jon Long. In 1986 the bassist was Scott Blood and the drummer was Dirk Futon.

.....The song itself is about the persistent rumor that Walt Disney was cryonically frozen at the time of death until a cure for whatever killed him (it was lung cancer; the stress of trying to breathe induced a heart attack) could be found. Despite a total lack of any physical evidence even suggesting he was frozen there have been numerous people who, for almost four decades now, have claimed to "know" that his corpse is being kept in a secret chamber somewhere and was not cremated in the 1960's as public records indicate. This tenacious belief as been the subject of parody by everyone from "Robot Chicken" to "iCarly". I'd have to rewatch the first "Shrek" movie to see if it includes any allusions to the rumors, but most of its swipes at Disney are more specifically aimed at Michael Eisner.

.....The reason for defreezin' is, according to the song, to revive the Disney corporation and that "he sure was a nice old geezer". Ultimately, however, it was turning away from Walt's preoccupation with nature documentaries full of fabricated 'facts' and whites-only feature films that saved the company. While Walt was driven to animate only European fairy tales (Cinderella, Pinocchio, Snow White, etc.), from the mid-1980's on the animation drew on traditional stories from Europe (Beauty And The Beast, The Little Mermaid) and everywhere else (Mulan, Hercules, Aladdin, Brother Bear) as well. And the steady money really comes from Disney's cable channel, which has always had a more varied mix of ethnicities than the broadcast networks but without that fact ever being an issue. Walt was anything but "a nice old geezer" and I'm guessing if he could be revived today that an afternoon watching Euro-, Afro- and Sino-American kids interacting innocuously on a channel named for him would give him a cardiac arrest, stroke and aneurysm before sundown. Call it Stravinsky's revenge.

.....Speaking of other ethnicities, we're going to be turning Japanese in the next post. And no, it's not about the Vapors' song.

Hüsker Dü "...Means 'Do You Remember?'"

.....Happy Record Store Day! Vinyl has been making a bit of a comeback in recent years and no one has been more surprised than the retailers who sell it. In retrospect it makes a perverse kind of sense that a generation who grew up downloading music for free would be mystified that there is a format out there that isn't even capable of supporting anti-copying encryption. Not only that, but there's tons-- literally tons-- of back catalog being sold by the pound in thrift stores and yard sales all over the world. It hardly matters that it can't be transported if you can transfer it to an iPod or other device. In fact, if you're accustomed to listening to the AM radio-like flatness of an MP3 signal, then the old bugaboo of surface noise is probably a non-issue as well.

.....This blog started about a month after last year's Record Store Day, so I never really referenced it. I didn't want to just pass it by, even though the blog is about a series of cassettes that weren't compiled for retail purposes. The fact is, many of the songs I've blogged about (and will continue to, trust me) made their way onto the tapes because I could only find them on vinyl (or flexis) and wanted to make them more portable and accessible. Record stores, including those that sold used (well, especially those that sold used), were an irreplaceable source for those. Finding new music you might like is infinitely easier if you can spot a familiar name in the liner notes or jacket credits while browsing in a store. Electronic sources often don't include liner notes and those that do only reveal them after loading times which, no matter how powerful your computer is, can't compare to the ease of holding something and flipping it over.

.....So, how to celebrate records with just one day's blog? Well, I could always renew my call to reissue the Giorno Poetry Systems catalog on CD. There's fewer than 100 vinyl titles total, maybe no more than 60 or 70, yet less than a dozen have made it to CD. Because their excellent anthologies always contained otherwise unavailable recordings by both famous and obscure artists, I routinely consulted my sparse collection of GPS titles when planning a career retrospective tape or looking for some kind of change of pace track for a 'various artists' tape. If reconfigured, the entire label might fit on 40 CD's, and many of them could be devoted to single artists. There are some musicians who have larger catalogs than that just by themselves (Zappa and Bowie come to mind). Many more artists only appeared sparingly. Some had recording commitments elsewhere, some generally worked in other media. One of the many bigger names to make a rare visit was Hüsker Dü.

.....Warner Brothers is issuing a special "Side By Side" vinyl single for Record Store Day that will pair Green Day's last-decade cover of "DON'T WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE LONELY" with the Hüsker Dü original on it's silver anniversary. My hair turned a little more silver when I heard that one. Since Green Day probably has fans who weren't born when that song came out, maybe I should share a crash course on Hüsker Dü in the form of a compilation program. It could be timely; Bob Mould just appeared in a Foo Fighters documentary in which he's seen contributing vocals to the recording of their recently released album. They've been hitting the talk show circuit pretty aggressively, so it's not impossible that Bob's name and his old band might pop up. Weirdly, the FF's appeared on the Daily Show without dropping his name (Mould wrote and performed the familiar Daily Show theme music). I'm not certain when I put this compilation together, but I can confirm that it was after the last of the "So, What Kind..." cassettes. (For what it's worth, the previously posted Cramps compilation was probably put together at the time I was finishing the tape with Volumes 3 and 4.) I'll put it at ten years ago. So, gather all the spiky-haired grandkids around, here we go...

.....For the uninitiated, Hüsker Dü was three people:

• [M]= Bob Mould: Guitar and vocals
• [N]= Greg Norton: Bass and vocals
• [H]= Grant Hart: Drums and vocals

.....I'll use those initials for songwriting credits. Anyone unfamiliar with my format notation will find a helpful key at the bottom of the page. My apologies to anyone using automated translating software to read this, since my use of abbreviations might confuse the software. I can only suggest first reading this verbiage in your own language, then reverting the page to English so that the notation will remain unaltered. The compilation was made with two 90-minute cassettes. I'm going to precede each track with an alpha-numeric. If this compilation had ever been pressed on vinyl, the letter would represent the 'side' and the number would represent the track. Every two vinyl 'sides' complete one side of the cassettes. After listing the programs, I'll suggest configurations for CD formats.

.....There are no songwriting credits for the interview segments, obviously. For more information on the band, I recommend the link on the right side of the screen. Now, that's a proper discography.

.....Earlier I promised recommended CD configurations for those of you playing at home. Here they are:

1. CD1: Use tracks A(all), B(all) and C01-C06
2. CD2: Use tracks C07-C09, D(all), E(all) and F01
3. CD3: Use tracks F02-F04, G(all) and H(all)

.....Most of the singles can be found on the albums. There should have been a comprehensive boxed set for the group years ago, but due to their catalog being almost evenly split between SST and Warner Bros., that's not likely to happen in my lifetime. What should be made available is a CD collecting all the Warner Bros. non-album tracks. I think some of those songs have never been released in their native U.S., let alone on disc. 90% of what's here should be readily available with a little hunting, though.

The Cramps "Highlights For Lowlifes"

.....From February 17th to March 9th of this year I laid out a pretty extensive discography of the band The Cramps on my Livejournal page (also under the name pblfsda) with the intention of picking from it 2 to 3 hours of songs to compile into a definitive career retrospective and replace a well-worn and well-loved cassette compilation I put together in the mid 1990's. (See the previous post on this blog for details.)

.....My plans were to return to each of my blogs in turn and slowly get them back onto some semblance of a schedule. This one would complete Volume 4 (interrupted some time late January), then give my progress report on the new compilation before beginning posts for Volume 5 in April. Unrelated news preoccupied me elsewhere and none of that happened. To keep a toe in I'm going to fill a request from a comment on the previous post and give the track listing for that earlier first edition of the Cramps compilation. It was compiled before the release of FLAMEJOB (I think) and only goes as far as 1991. Also, as I posted a couple months ago, it omits "JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF A GIRL" and some others for reasons a new compilation should make moot. In spite of everything else, it makes for great listening:

All songs not otherwise credited were written by Ivy Rorschach and Lux Interior.

.....All but a handful of these songs are either album tracks or bonus tracks on the Vengeance label CD editions of their albums. Good luck finding the rest, if you want to piece together the tape yourself. Of course, most folks would likely opt to download a slightly shorter selection to burn to CD, so it's just a matter of how much you can find. Or you can wait two months and look at the revised edition here after Volume 4 has finished posting.

Rockabilly Interlude/Cramps

.....I haven't posted (except for the previous note) in about three weeks for several reasons. I've been trying to establish a backlog of material on the Christmas blog (350th anniversaries don't come along every day), the current incarnation of the Doom Patrol comic book will likely be cancelled in a few months, impacting my first blog, and finally I've been uilizing my often neglected Livejournal account to write a detailed annotated Cramps discography for the purposes of a renovated compilation. Longtime readers of this blog may be aware that it is all just an enormous set of liner notes for a set of mix tapes compiled in the 1990's. That set of tapes was both an answer to the often-asked question that makes up the title and a way for me to reconnect with the odd bits and pieces in my collection that didn't seem to have any place among the single artist/act compilations I more commonly made for myself at the time.

.....One cassette I put together then which I continued to routinely listen to was a 90-minute Cramps selection which I called "Highlights For Lowlifes", but which only covered their career up to 1991. They released new material slowly but regularly, about an album every three years, but still toured in between. I posted about them recently here and since then have been in touch with a personal friend who wanted to dig up whatever I might have available. That sounded to me like a good reason to renovate the compilation. The Livejournal entries are essentially my scratch pad for the project. I'll note every recorded I've ever learned about there, select the best and /or most representative tracks and plot workable cassette and CD configurations, which I may post here between the end of Volume 4 and the start of Volume 5, not unlike taking time out for Halloween last fall, but with more advance planning.

.....If you want to follow my notes, perhaps learning what holes there may be in your own collection, Google my screen name, pblfsda, and the name livejournal. It should be the top of the list, or thereabouts.

.....I hope to complete Volume four in March.
