Creation's owner Alan McGee visited the studio during the mixing stage; he said, "I used to go down to the studio, and there was so much cocaine getting done at that point ... Owen was out of control, and he was the one in charge of it. The music was just fucking loud."[5] Morris responded: "Alan McGee was the head of the record company. Why didn’t he do something about the 'out of control' record producer"? Obviously, the one not in control was the head of the record company."[8] He said that he and the band had been dealing with personal difficulties the day and night before McGee visited the studio.[8]

yesterday would have been Whitney's 60th birthday

and I feel guilty because the night before her death I was googling "crack is wack" [0]

and then she died [1]

but I can't help it if I'm precog

the one and only Whitney tune I've ever "owned" was on a Material album, when she was a total unknown, allegedly her first recorded appearance



Material - Memories ( feat. Whitney Houston and Archie Shepp )

which is actually a cover of my tune of the day



Robert Wyatt - Memories

which pisses all over Whitney unlike the Nick Broomfield documentary about her which was surprisingly anodyne - I doubt anyone was willing to talk to him which is why we got a boring yawn fest of stock footage arranged in a soporific montage

the Wyatt original makes me wonder what would have happened if he didn't fall out of a window, would he just carried on playing drums in long forgotten fusion bands?

[0] which she said because she knew freebase was superior

[1] I doubt this is the right time to mention the rumours of Bobby having to "reach deep" to tug on the ceramic stool that was preventing Whitney from being regular?

Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
And I don't mind being on my own

I was reading about Be Here Now the other day due to Craner's provocation and there was a comparison with My bloody valentine and I could hear that — the drums are totally swamped in feedback, there's a lack of rhythmic heft, it all feels weirdly weightless. Maybe that's part of the appeal?

In the late 90s there was that thing where you had to fill up your cd maxi singles with three b sides, so Oasis had used up all their best songs by the time it came to their third album. That's the main reason why Be Here Now was shit.

I think it was Taylor Parkes that pointed that out.

Oasis has that Talking Heads quality of being right on the edge of not just bad, but hilariously laughably is-this-a-joke comedy music bad and its the tightrope walk that makes the music exciting
