It looks like the same one I have Mindglow.
The Without A Sound LP I have just has a grainy sunburst color on the center label.
I wondered who the guy was that played on the Ricky Nelson singles. Scotty Moore played some cool guitar for Elvis too.
"kracked873 " wrote:dinosaur is fucking awesome. without a sound on the other hand… i like a few tracks.. the only J release i never fully got into.but the first dinosaur lp. christ if you like quest and severed lips listen to the whole thing. i mean have you seen them live since the reunion start? if so then you know most of the album right there.
Yeah, I think Leper’s a great song too. I only know it and Does It Float from the BBC Sessions. Was and Dino are weak compared…
I have heard the album, and I think it has low points on Gargoyle, bulbs of passion, and cats in a bowl. Yeah, I saw them live and remembered all the songs (I had mp3s). I lost them. They sounded great live.
Hey SG, I knew there had to be a reason it wasn’t listed on the SST flyers that came with cassettes. Later on, did SST release it on their label?
No, I never bought it on cd or cassette. I didn’t even know it existed until I found freakscene. (I don’t recall it being on the SST tapelist)
Believe it or not, that release and Without A Sound are very similar to me.
Yeah, I guess when the recording device was invented people spread out with it covering all they could. I find it funny that music can be passed along the years without recording devices, by just sheet music, a sense of timing and/or teachers. Mamie Smith’s Crazy Blues is a pretty cool song, though I was shocked it came from such a morose, complaintive mood. Well, I don’t really believe it’s complaining, just freely expressing what wouldn’t be in a hymn.
Heh, Freddie Keppard wouldn’t be flattered to have his style copied? It’s a stingy way of being. Of course, if he were to set a trend he might feel a little ripped off. Donna Matthews (ex-Darling Buds) of Elastica had to settle a court case relevant to this, where it was found that one of Elastica’s "singles" was using an intro riff by a Wire song. They also used a bit of The Strangler’s No More Heroes, but it may be they just did that to tie together a something.
RIP John Coltrane.
I don’t know. I just assume they’ll include it when they update their website.
Hopefully they are not so "traditional" that J has to become "aged" to be listed.

Yngwie MalmsteenWhen I first heard this song, it took me back to the "set us free" song. I didn’t realize how good the guitar playing is in "this is all", until I saw J play a piece of it on this video. I don’t know how J Mascis gets lonely. When I was at his show he had a whole line of people waiting to talk to him, but he didn’t even flinch when I walked past the line straight to him, to see if he recognized me. He didn’t even look to his right.
"fata morgana " wrote:Yes, let’s not forget that, at the time, dance hall music was a lot more popular. Interesting comment about social restraint or racism, though. I think Duke Ellington began in dance hall music before turning towards jazz.I like alot of those swing, dance hall songs. Jazz has just seemed always mute to me, as far as vocals go, but then again I don’t have much to compare it to other than BET’s Caribbean Flavors. If jazz hit in the 20’s, does that mean it predated blues music?
The Jazz Singer was the first film, 1927, that had sound. I imagine it was pretty even radical at the time, given it’s about a man who leaves old tradition to become involved in the jazz craze. That might be where the whole seperating from family secret leaked.
It’s the greatest idea ever had, seperating from the family and growing up in a free, non-confined spiritual jazz awakened environment, where people spoke it cool and trimmed it mellow with their cavalcade of instruments and fine, browner grass.
Quote:Ellington wanted jazz to be regarded as genuine music like the classics.Classical music sounds alot better to my ears than jazz, but the artists who wrote this classical stuff seemed to be too stressed over who could write the best and include the most flair, whereas Jazz counted on more simple wind instrument melodies.
I haven’t heard a note from John Coltrane, but I’m gonna guess by the way he’s widely liked that I am missing something.
Quote:the song is huge and allows lots of room for imagination as a kid………………………..I never got into music like that, however flaming lips’ Yoshimi Vs. Pink Robots does kinda take you to an imaginative place, where ya get alot of smarts, but the way it is filtered to you it doesn’t overwhelm you with anything other than peaceful, mellow thoughts. It’s kinda sci-fi, and lets your imagination run wild. Jazz has never been that absorbing to me. It’s melodies are too hectic and each song sounds like 10 different ones, but I guess that’s just a free jamming thing. It’s kinda cool to know that alot of Jazz musicians didnt need to sing, which could have something to do with the social restraint and victimizing society at the time. Did John Coltrane have a singer in his band? Did most Jazz bands?
Quote:My four kids are split into two sets but into different pairs for different things. There are the 2 dreamers(mom) and 2 non-dreamers (dad)…….there are the 2 emotional (Dad) and the 2 Dr. Spocks of emotion (Mom).
There are 2 daydreamers (Mom) and 2 pragmatics (Dad).No reason to send the "Stefka shorts" to school when mom’s such a great studier. Before, when I listened to music it remained a secular thing, meaning the songs were about how great the lives like J Mascis or Jay Farrar were, or how sad, or how intelligent they seemed regardless of melody or instrument playing skill. The further more I listen to the music, the more I become obsessed in thought that it has more to do with me than I "reckoned". I start to remember things from the hooks of songs, and even verses. In some cases I remember saying that or passing by that or that happenening to me, and the musicians take on a more psychiatrist viewpoint on my own life. Wierd travels.
Quote:information on ufo’s the CIA has, that weirds me out.I read what "freak scene" meant last night and I wondered if J picked that up from the Beatnik culture, or are there gigs and gigs of wiretaps from that era because the law likes to listen to stoners, or, in their case, free thinking people. I don’t think so. Possibly, when J wrote freak scene he was dreaming of a new bohemian culture, a free speed nation, and it all revolved around two people and how rich they became, and if they were able to build the free speed nation. Granted, any big task starts with a friend, so I wouldn’t count on much when the modern age is constantly tearing people apart. It’s almost like a mission to make consumer goods the important thing in life, not all that good stuff when there’s a friend.
Annastefka, I haven’t seen any UFO’s. I did, however, sleep outside one night last week and notice something strange. There was a cloud in the exact shape of a triangular burn on my arm, and it was blowing north. I caught some pictures but they didn’t turn out, it was too dark. There were planes flying into the cloud, and the clouds turned a very dark black as they drifted north over me. I don’t know if something was released into the white cloud to turn it black, but it made me strange. The number of planes worried me too. It may have been a military move. It was certainly more exciting than sending thousands to war just to prove that America has not gone service industry silly.
