Thanks for sharing these, this is great.
you are appreciated. not only for this upload but ALL OF THEM. I've got some listening to do. THANK YOU
It is my considered opinion that while there are other projects that qualify as DIY in a different respect, including all the classic albums that highlight what I am saying differentiates this kind of a DIY recording from music that had the intent and potential in order to become the inspiration for a million bands and get written up in Spin by someone that is aware they are now doing a lot more harm to this artist's credibility than the benefit, which will land straight in the pockets whichever company handles the distribution, if it was everybody even an indie release, but when i say this is the best DIY record, hands down, then the far side of the spectrum where we are talking about the very most successful and critically lauded is probably all the parts of the KIDS soundtrack where it's literally just someone pulling the string on a child's toy. So occasionally there were actual howls to be heard within the track, like Simean Groove, one of the tunes from when team Barlow and Davis had that brief respite from whatever issues that normally prevented them from using a bit of style and taste to sequence what amounts to a halfway decent beat, that lacks the complexity or the oomph one would feel is lacking if anyone ever did try to rap to it, and would have felt a lot like Casper woulda felt about Jenny at the end of the night, if that script didn't require us to be confronted with a kind of sociopath that could match energys we'd already gotten from MAD VIRGIN TERMINATOR X (All rights reserved by Skynet, I paid their licensing fees, and many contracts had to be signed, just in order for me to discuss the kind of things I thought it safe to mention, this guy is making a brief appearance here in what amounts to a YT comment and nothing more, and I would know, since I signed all of that non disclosure stuff, look, ofc, we are talking about the very course of modern civilization, buddy, & not to mention, the history of Western Civ so he's a real important guy, okay?
Ok yes, he got typecast as a dude who catches AIDS, somehow, but yeah, they had him get "the bug" on The Wire, too, as that's the way to make sure that no details from the real story gets leaked; ofc, couldn't have that guy get popular enough to attract the kind of idiot that would seriously discuss something as monumental as this in a public place... I'm just saying I'm sick of these people thinking he's a pedo, he's the kinda guy that could make a real difference, in a world like ours; I'm not saying he didn't, but I did sign the NDA, so legally, all I'm allowed to say on a topic that receives a level of scrutiny that would blow lots of people's minds, if you'd seen what I seen on that hot summer day, that the shit went down... and i guess you just had to be ready, like B Real said, really should have been more historically aware and understood that it was a rare privilege, and okay I probably said too much but i felt I just starred in E.T., that was how it was, signing all those documents, on that fateful day in July, but these days all that I can say about it when the weather gets hot is that "I digress" SKYNET© 2057) and so i do need pay them new licensing fees if i want to mention to anyone just how recently that pair of nuts had arrived, following the abrupt descent from a far loftier position they held in the life of that young man, who never got any prep for how this would immediately catapult him into the public eye & then change his life, forever, from having lil to no hope of ever losing his virginity, which is good enough for my parents, too, btw, if there was just, like, cologne sprayed, heavily enough, that'll suffice, as far as contraceptives go, they just were trying to check that they weren't assenting their son's dick, you know, being shoved into some putrid hole, one so foul nobody knows if anyone's ever even seen that thing then lived to tell the tale... much less explored its cavernous wonders? I think everyone involved may have just gotten way out of their depth, but now before you judge them, I have two very decent, upstandingaw abiding parents who simply love their son, so they saw an opportunity for him to perhaps get a certain milestone out of the way that could have a tremendous impact on all his opportunities to form connections for life, that will be not just personally but fiscally advantageous, if he doesn't get reamed out his dainty little a hole by a bunch of cokeheads in a toga just so he gets in the circles where people actually offer jobs with benefits and the people applying for them get the interview and typically landing job unless there was another interview with some bastard whose dad spend the night in a coffin with a relative of the person doing the interview. That's typically a shoe in, you see, especially since they didn't usually spend nights in coffins at the frats, unless they were also masturbating, so we're talking the absolute closest you can get with the many brothers in the fraternity besides the bond shared with your rapist. And I'll probably get some flack for this one from both sides, as it's not, really, that widely understood, that persons living on said properties as members of said organizations will have such a person designated, and from that moment on, and it's not unheard of for the privilege to continue to be respected, well into a productive marriage producing several children who are now living on site and getting their own first taste, and I didn't even know there was such a stigma, it seems so backwards to me, really just the antiquated notions of a bygone era is how it feels to me, whenever i try to explain, rohypnol is really not so bad, it
tastes just like cough syrup, it's really a lot worse huffing the poppers for such a long time that you're actually feeling quite grateful to receive that spoonful of sweet, cherry flavored relief from all the daily concerns of a hectic modern life, such as ours, but every time that I try to explain that there isn't a member of the Bush family that isn't living by a set of bylaws that require Barbara to be a lot more reasonable about this than the kinds of frenzied overreaction I've witnessed whenever the subject is broached in the wrong social circles, & even when i point out to them that if a first lady in chief is okay with this, and it's one of her own children that will be doing his duty by her husband, then it should give them pause before they all utter such ugly words of contempt for a practice as ancient as whatever that stuff is, in a bottle of Rush, and while it may surprise some, it goes back to the Egyptian times when so much of what the Masons do for our country on the many college campuses across this find nation first became codified, so many of documents lost to the fire at Alexandria when that library was razed to the ground, much as Sherman did to the plantations in the region that gave rise to the metropolis of Atlanta, only through the staggering wealth it once brought in, not just because of slavery or cotton, but because of what made it a target for that northern brute, jealous and dare I say it, homophobic, since it was a myth that Sherman burned the South to disrupt supply lines, you see he'd been spurned by the fraternities because he wasn't enrolled at any of the colleges as a student and it's in the bill of rights, the second about housing soldiers, Sherman had no knowledge or respect for Jeffersonian democracy and so he tried to strongarm his way in since he was enrolled in the military, in flagrant violation of the bill of rights all our founding fathers ratified because the Federalists understood it, even if they differed on other points, there is legacy on those rolling hills and vast territories of agricultural development, that put the Southern Gothic in what was essentially the same position the bread basket of Egypt had in respect to the Roman Empire, ever since the Macedonian conquerer, an emperor of Persia to boot, Alexander the Great put into place and continued to be upheld by the Ptolemaic line of pharoahs that Cleopatra was descended from, and it was this cultural legacy that Sherman set out to destroy. Supply lines, HA! So it turns out the brothers had were right to mention it and the cologne was no mere formality, it's indeed a noticable odor, and that stench is no joke. And to anyone still pestering me to go ahead and lose my virginity, I'll have you know that no one wants to hear any of these long orchestral compositions, no one is going to sign anything just because you try to make them sit through that, Moon Unit, and no I won't feel you up, that's disgusting. I'm half your age and I have plenty of time to find out what it might be like with a woman. Some still respect a preference for a Greek way of life, and if you're that jealous of the bond between Achilles and Patroklos, you do realize you got your own token poet of all things crunchy granola, her name is Sappho, hello, ever heard of her? But again i have digressed, as I had meant to point out that the Folk Implosion did briefly take a break to make some decently listenable beats when they'd previously been stuck in the habit of writing the kind of 1 to 2 minute songs you might hear calling up They Might Be Giants' "Dial-A-Song" service, which means tracks on (Take a Look) INSIDE THE FOLK IMPLOSION weren't meandering meditative pieces like on synthstrument, they are tight little hos that do not mess about, you may get to touch a tit, sure, but don't spend any time malingering in their domicile, and you sure aren't getting any tongue, if you're even so badly missing the point that you'd waste your time asking if it's okay to kiss!
But what i mean by DIY is more like The Freed Man or The Freed Weed. Double Nickels on the Dime is also perhaps DIY, in spirit, because of its style of arrangement, the production methods, and distribution of music. However, such works are obviously serious undertakings, that required years of craftsmanship, finely honed, perhaps on their own terms, utilizing their own resources rather than the gracious attention afforded to them by some benefactor at a music label that offered to become a band's personal Mrs. Havisham! And this is just how it works and how the labels get you, as it has now become common knowledge, that the true benefactor in the Dickens classic, GREAT EXPECTATIONS wasn't Havisham, she just terrorized him with the notion he had to please her or else he would lose everything he's always been striving towards, but all she did is limit him, like the music label saying it may seem like a music video on MTV is wildly popular and that hit single is in regular rotation on all of the radio stations, so you would think all these sold out shows would mean the band is doing extremely well and you are all set for life, you're going to be very rich men, but in reality, all of this including the shows that you're playing is the promotion that you have to do in order to get your name out and it's costing the label a great deal of money to do all this for you and since you haven't yet recouped the cost through album sales that means that all proceeds from the tickets being sold to your concerts go directly to the label to help off set a huge investment that was made in order to set all this stuff in motion. But then it turns out that it was all bullshit and if you had just run your own label you could have been the one collecting all this money you earned by virtue of the quality of your music. Once you got it in the hands of the DJs and a few posers in suits there at that upstart cable network hear that band everyone likes actually made a video for their song, they won't be able to stop playing it for the kids skipping school to watch it at home. And that's more like what life was like once that protagonist finally understood it was the man he thought a beggar and had offered some victuals, and through an act of such selfless generosity, he had won his heart and this man had died and left him everything. That's what a Minutemen album is like. Mike Watt is a very rich man, when it comes to the level of professionalism he brings to the table. This has never been a strong suit for a man who spent many years of his life fantasizing about the day his band Dinosaur, Jr. would get on SNL, & he could finally kill his friend J Mascis on live television, and as if that weren't enough, the moment he was finally let go for being such an insufferable dork who would rather seerhe with jealousy than accept the fact that the genius of his songwriting justifies becoming a bit of an egomaniac and a total control freak, and these traits are, in fact, just incredibly common to the points it is actually somewhat painfully ordinary for bands to rely on an individual with these specific modes of eccentricity in order for them to produce the majority of the records being put out, around the world, by musical artists in every genre. There's almost ALWAYS some tortured genius that's also the control freak that limits the creative freedom of someone else in the band that then gets all butt hurt about it. If it weren't for this dynamic we wouldn't have the vast majority of the music that we can today enjoy, in just imagine the very many drug dealers that could never have fed their family at home with the revenue they earned providing heroin to the member of the band that just wants to get "more than two songs" on each album. So what happened when Lou Barlow was freed from all of these constraints put on him by a controlling asshole like J Mascis. Did he put out a triple album like All Things Must Pass? No, he put out a couple of cassettes with mostly garbage on them as well as composition so incredibly pretty they don't really seem to have any place on a hardcore record, or a punk band or some indie rock outfit, no, not if they want to play the song live, with the sole exception of soulmate, as it did turn out to be something they were able to arrange as a song that could be performed live. But what about "healthy sick"? With the references to Tolkien you would think that they could jam for hours, diddling themselves, but in that special way to that only electric (and bass) guitarists can do with their instruments without getting shot by a member of the audience (Lennon is an exception, due to the way he could not seem to stop running his yap about his Japanese performance artist he made a member of his personal zoo, since it got boring managing the one that had Cynthia and Jude. Oh yah, Julian, was it? Forget it, we shall only have eyes for Sean now. The zoo must go on) my just like Zeppelin played Ramble On, in a live capacity with its own references to deepest, darkest Mordor and "THE EVIL ONE" but nope it doesnt work like that now, does it? And yet Healthy Sick is probably one of the best songs. So that is what I mean by DIY when I say that this is the best DIY album... EVER.
But having now established this as the very best DIY album there ever was, & feeling the kind of determination to be sure this is true, that I immediately felt, just as soon as the idea had occurred to me, I lost some time right away, just as soon as I made a decision to do this strange thing that just popped up out of nowhere, into my head and I'm really worried about what people are going to think, above all I fear that criticism that I would be making this about myself when it really should be about steely Dan and the music and I just realized I'm completely distracting you from the wait, when yes, i am sorry i do not possess or can you utilize any of the Space age technologies that are now the cutting edge, if we could wait, you know, easy for me to say, now that I didn't even agree to die for a funeral, I just insisted on enjoying the ceremony before the sunsets so it better be over before it's 19:20 during the necessary months of the coming eclipse, that if you haven't been paying attention, is the only time the first note would be so radically different, and played on stage for what should seem to others such a purely selfless act never made it very clear that I mean something highly specific to me that renders this a pointless, largely specious claim, like if I were saying there's life on Mars, but I ask of you something far more difficult and I understand if you don't even have an answer for me, just know that you are very brave, just for still being here to listen to me, but what I'm asking you is why hunky dory is the only good one and for the rest of his career he just did a good job of making sure we all knew he's really really bad at music, just the number of times he had one musical idea and could not expand on it with any other musical ideas and he completely failed to create any sort of geometric shape between that one musical idea that worked and the other voices that he would add like on Space Oddity, there's a very deep likely baritone sax that joins in but I noticed it was not composed in such a way that it has an acquisition of its own in relation to the other music she said having been afforded this place it will obviously for a triangle with something else that is added but not necessarily if it is just noodling around without any sort of relationship to anything else except as another instrument you just added without any thought to what it would play and how the composition should expand, musically speaking, it probably is because you try to make these decisions the same way I do...
Without thinking, just listening to your instincts to avoid following a formula but either way today I hate you, Bowie
