Episode #16

On this Episode Mikey plays a song so cheesy he later feels compelled to apologize for it. Then later I play a song which offends Kenan so much it sparked a heated ideological conversation about the concept of context in music.

See if you can pick them out.

Plus mad obscure beautiful bangers.

Who Brings a Gun to a First Date?

Seriously.
I mean.
If you worked for UPS, you'd go home and change out of your uniform before dinner, right?

I took this picture mad surreptitiously.

And, yes I don't know for sure it was a first date.

But they had that first-date vibe going on. Look at her body language. Arms crossed. Not quite sure about this guy yet. He did all the talking. She waited at the table while he ordered from the counter.

I can't talk to a person with a gun strapped to their waist as if I don't know they have a gun strapped to their waist. It's just hard to get completely comfortable with the gun being there.


David Peel was this 60's Lower East Side Hippie-type who wrote songs about smoking pot and being from the Lower East Side. But Some of them are pretty cool and you can see a direct line through his sound to the New York punks of the late 70's/early 80's. He was down with John & Yoko who produced his third album and later he founded Orange Records which put out such acts as G.G. Allen & The Jabbers

Jealousy

Jealousy is a useless emotion.
Most emotions, even anger or fear, are necessary, at times helpful, emotions.
Jealousy is made of pure poison. In small doses it can be merely a irritant - like the poison of a mosquito bite.
But in larger amounts it can spread and self-perpetuate, slowly seeping into your whole body.
In recent years I've tried to have relationships free of jealousy - and come close - but we were never quite able to rid ourselves of it completely.
It tends to "rear it's ugly head" as the expression goes.

My friend Sahara Marina Borja wrote me an email a few days ago saying that she had to keep fast-forwarding Episode Six to hear Donny Hathaway's version of "Jealous Guy".
So this post is for Sahara, whose interests include writing playfully cryptic emails to her friends and walking around San Francisco taking beautiful photographs.

It's a John Lennon Song.
It's about Yoko.
It describes perfectly that feeling of regret after you've let that jealous bile build up in your throat - and done something mean or petty - out of hurt.
Has anyone out there not been there?

Donny Hathaway was a beautiful man.
He struggled with depression all his life though.
And in 1979 he fell to his death from the window of the Essex Hotel where he had been living.
Apparently he had removed the glass pane and jumped out.
Tragic.

More recently he's been credited by Ms. Amy Winehouse as one of the reasons why she doesn't need to go to rehab.
"There's nothing that you can teach me that I can't lean from Mr. Hathaway"

It may be that soul is born out of pain. And it is this knowledge of personal pain which allows certain people to sing to us in such a vivid vital way.


Anyway.
Enjoy.
And be careful kids. Don't eat any green m&m's and remember as Fat Joe Says: Jealous One's Envy & Jealous One's Still Envy

Ronnie Mathews R.I.P.

It took me a minute to post this...

When I was a young, my older sister had a friend who spent a lot of time at our house. Part of the reason (aside from the fact that they were like sisters themselves), was that her father was a touring musician who spent a lot of time on the road. As a kid, that was all I knew.

Her father was Ronnie Mathews. He was a jazz pianist who played with Max Roach from 1963-1968, and with Art Blakey as one of the original jazz messengers. In his twenties, he toured internationally and recorded with Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Roy Haynes and Elvin Jones, and later played with the likes of Dexter Gordon, Johnny Griffin, TS Monk & Roy Hargove.

Serious business.

I got to know Ronnie as I got older, though not as well as I would have liked. I do want to thank him though, for always taking the time to talk to me about what he was doing, and for taking a genuine interest in what I was up to creatively.

When I heard he was sick, my first thoughts went to his daughter and her family. I have been somewhat lucky in that I haven't had extensive personal experience with the passing of those closest to me. So to Ronnie's family, my heart goes out.

I then started to think about his legacy as a musician. He has been proclaimed by music writers and fellow musicians as on of the most underrated artists of his generation. About a week before his passing, I attended a benefit concert for him at Sweet Rhythm. It was an overwhelming turnout. So many great musicians and friends came through, it was quite astounding. Ronnie passed away roughly a week later.

So it goes.

Rest in peace Ronnie, you are missed.

Happy 4th of Juleezee

I had a beautiful day today so far.
It's 5:41 pm
The date is july 4th 2008
I was hungover in manhattan. Woke up on a friend's couch.
Went outside and was wandering around. This guy handed me a sheet of newsprint advertising a fourth of july sale at J&R.
I thought: what I need is a nice digital camera. Since my old one got ruined in the flood.
So I walked over to J&R.
I bought a digital camera.
I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Went down by the water.
Took this picture of this patriotic barge.

I wrote a song a while back where I say: "I'm a patriot of Brooklyn/ I pledge allegiance to New York/ the rest I can't really vouch for."

Which, in truth, I cribbed from the great Henry Miller. Who wrote once:

"I am a patriot-of the 14th Ward Brooklyn, where I was raised. The rest of the United States doesn't exist for me, except as idea, or history, or literature."

I feel similarly.

It's hard to have any one unifying feeling about such a large, diverse, ever changing, land mass. It seems odd to me, to feel pride about so much that has nothing to do with us.

I do love the flag though. It's just a really nice design. I like the colors. Word to Betsy Ross.
But I know, in the end, this country belongs to big oil men and their ilk. And not to me.

but as Abner Jay says:

"Folks, don't worry about energy crisis because Standard Oil, Shell, Gulf, Mobil, Texaco, Aamaco, Esso, Sunoco, Exxon, Nixon, Standard Oil, General Motors, Chrysler, George Wallace, & Ford is not the backbone of America. The Backbone of America is a mule and cotton."

We took a Chance with this song back in Episode 3.
I love Abner Jay and will be chancing more of his beauts in the near future. So stay tuned.

You better get straight

On a nondescript thursday afternoon, I went with my man Tone Tank to Generation Records

Hadn't been there in ages.
I know the record stores are struggling. What with the kids. And the Downloading.

I used to love record stores. Loved the whole culture.

Maybe I got burnt out.
I can still dig in my own collection. There's tons of records I've never even listened to in there. (I used to acquire records in vast abundances. And with such regularity!) . I used to rescue crates and crates of records from dumpsters, clear out basements of elderly relatives, trade for them, barter, do whatever it took.

In truth I only walked into the store because Tone had some business with them. I was just tagging along because we were wandering around Manhattan Island.

I quit smoking cigarettes more than two years ago (you can do it too!). And by now I am so well over the hump that I no longer even think of it. I can hardly even remember what it was like. Smoking. And I can say with confidence that I'll never smoke another one of those damned things in my life. But every once in a while I'll catch a whiff of some wandering puff of R.J Reynolds' money-crop cloud floating off into a cool/crisp autumn evening and I'll remember everything.

I caught a whiff of those records.

I only allowed myself to flick through one row.
I pulled out this Eric Burdon Record

(I don't know if anybody noticed) but we took a couple chances so far with Eric Burdon on the show. And Eric Burdon has been ILL for quite some time now. But I'd never heard this one. And Eric Burdon just looks like he's not playing on that cover. The dude standing behind him has a Paul Korzan thing going on (a close personal friend of mine). And the dude in the back left looks like mad people I know with that mustache.
(anyway)
Eric Burdon is a real soulful dude.
The guy at the counter goes: "the first track on here is awesome".
The first track is "White Houses"
The guy was right. It is awesome. The whole record is awesome really.
But I've been playing "White Houses" over and over the last couple of days.
That's the real chance on this record.
There are a couple other chances on here too. But if I had to pick one, this would be THE chance.

Having recently been evicted from my situation living underneath the Impact Theatre on Underhill avenue, I feel a bit unmoored. I don't know what my next move is going to be. It's all up in the air. My life. Everything. And something about this song compliments, somehow, my contemplative mood.
Thinking about what it is that I really want out of life. How I want my life to be lived.
