Jug Bands!
Thanks to atsonicpark for posting this blog in the blog thread.

Jugs, Washboards, & Kazoos


 

Some of the very fines of the early jug band sides. This music is carefree and highly buoyant. It is hipster music from the days of the first hipsters. Really it was much closer to the dixieland jazz of New Orleans (King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, etc) than it was to folk music or country blues, despite the rather do-it-yourself instrumentation of kitchen implements turned music-makers. Why the jugs, you may ask? Well they were cheeper than tubas, and in plentiful supply due to the amount of bootlegging that was going on. Likewise, a washtub was cheaper than a double bass, and a washboard was a great alternative to a sack full of drums (actually, come to think of it, there are no washtubs in these recordings). Kazoos were the obvious response to the trumpet, and harmonicas were already becoming a readily accepted and viable musical instrument. Though these instruments would become novelty items in decades to come, here they shine as brightly as the guitars, pianos, fiddles, banjos, clar
 
inets, and saxophones which they accompany. And their particular tones are exploited perfectly, sounding wonderfully unlike anything before or since (check the sweet interplay between fiddle and jug on the Dixieland Jug Blowers sides). Couple this with an irresistibly insistent rhythmic groove that gets you hopping up and down whether you like it or not, and you have the makings of some seriously good-time music. Reefer has done some great things for the musical evolution of this century, let me tell you.

This disc shines for its spectacular selection. There's plenty of surface noise, so be warned, but the levels are fully present, having been ripped from vinyl on some professional recording equipment, so the music is really there and it sounds great (you soon won't even notice the clicks and pops, or the fact that you've been bouncing and stamping unconsciously for 40 minutes). There's some great ironic vocal deliveries (What Makes My Baby Cry), and even a mock-sermon on bootleggin' and short skirts (House Rent Rag) that parodies the sanctified jug bands. The standout tracks on this album are by the Dixieland Jug Blowers and Tiny Parham and his Musicians, all of which approach jazz and are both extremely contagious, fun-wise.

I fucking hated Sutcliffe Jügend at SY's dont look back.... Was really amusing to look back at the crowd and everyone had their fingers in their ears. i'm tempted to download that to judge them differently - but it seemed they were a bit too far across the line of shit as art.

Birdmen Of Alkatraz - Glidin' Off EP
Top notch Italian psychedelia, and one of my favorite records of all time.
Three songs, SOLID FREAKING GOLD.

I'd always use sendspace. Well, I always do. They only keep albums up for a little bit... but it doesn't make you wait forever and there aren't a billion ads like rapidshare..

Savage Clone 06.08.2008 10:30 PM

I found that link from a blog. I have the vinyl, myself.
Bought it when it came out. I think I might have had to wait in line at the cash register, but maybe not.
Plus it's happy hour right now with no waiting.

Thanks for all the good stuff posted and it's nice to see Florya back on this thread.

William Bennett is a total cunt.
He is one of the few people on this planet on whom I actually wish harm.
Not that that would bother him in the slightest.

Whilst I appreciate the sounds of Whitehouse and Consumer Electronics, I will not, ever, put money into the hands of this wanker by buying his records.

As for Gen smashing Whitehouse records - I only hope s/he hadn't paid for them first.

MellySingsDoom 06.09.2008 07:27 AM

Florya - have you had an experience with Mr Bennett, out of interest?

Glice 06.09.2008 07:49 AM

I'm listening to this Sutcliffe Jugend thing now and it's quite possibly the least interesting thing I've ever heard.

MellySingsDoom 06.09.2008 08:00 AM

^^^Tompkins' efforts over the past 10 years are pretty unmemorable, and the samples I heard from the "Pigdaddy" LP sounded unbelievably bad. He really should have retired after "Great White Death"...
