I have all the Scritti records, and have to say that Provision is the one I've listened to the most, and the one I'd least give up without a fight...(a slap fight, mind)...which I guess makes me some kind of freak, but what the heart wants...
if you're ever back in Ann Arbor, be sure to check out School Kids Records "In Exile", so named because they moved from a prior location to the basement of a camping store!...(Bivouac is the name of the camping store)...getting back on topic:
guys too...
I get a kick out of contemporary religion documentaries, it's sorta like bearing witness to some kind of odd and exotic civilization, like those Pitcairn's Island folks...two of the better ones are:
Hell House - a peek into a "haunted house" created by a hardcore Pentecostal church at Halloween...
Re-Issues 07:
John Martyn - Grace And Danger
Various - The Fruit Of The Original Sin
Dorothy Ashby - The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby
Compilations 07:
Now We Are Ten (Trunk Records)
Sandy Denny - Live At The BBC
Fred Deakin (Lemon Jelly) - Triptych
for the most part, these seem pretty Wire-y...
say, you don't see a lot about Trunk records 'round these parts, but seems to me that the two labels are after the same thing, albeit one is past, the other is present...
Scientologists were also allowed (maybe still are) to set up those "stress test" booths at will in NYC subways, and in fact city-sanctioned ads for the subway system promoted them, until public outcry forced the city to remove them...
if you like the lush sounds of Philly soul, you'd probably also dig the stuff Charles Stepney did for the Chess/Cadet labels in the early 70's:
The Dells - Sing The Hits Of Dionne Warwicke (sic)
Minnie Riperton - Come To My Garden
Terry Callier - Occasional Rain
and of course The Rotary...
of course, garage initially referred to rock, Nuggets-era bands like the Sonics and such...
glam morphed (at least stateside) into another term for hair-metal...
seems like house has splintered into so many sub-genres that the term on it's own is meaningless...
"Sweet Little Mystery" by John Martyn, I've always wanted to hear that at a wedding...it sounds like such a wedding song until you listen closer to the lyrics, which detail a bitter break-up...but it's so smooth that most people are unlikely to notice...
you could kinda see the writing on the wall with that enormous Jazz post...I thought, good god man, how does he follow this one up?...will be missed, to be sure...
