Good friend and official member (not even sure what actually makes someone official) of the TSS group Jody Orsborn is presenting Leslie and the Badger’s CD release bash at Spaceland this Tuesday.

Here is a song by John Cale, formerly of Velvet underground, played on a couple Nick Drake records not to mention production and much much music after this era.  The guitar player is Chris Spedding, tasteful, reserved fills, sending waves of warmth through the tune.  It sounds like a ballad beautiful and simple, about the wrestling of the North American continent by European explorers and the breaking of the native culture and the rise of the industrial world.  How fitting that such a destructive process is set to such a lovely tune.

PS- Capt AKAK….this song is off of FEAR by John Cale, released in 1974….ENO is all over this and i think he produced it….another record to fucking melt to.

Enjoy…..

The world is going to hell in a hand basket:  Iran’s near civil war; North Korea is chompin’ at the bit to blow somebody up with a nuclear bomb; the Italian prime minister is a buffoon; the US soccer team kicked Spain’s ass, etc–but suddenly none of this matters.  Michael Jackson passed away and the world stops to take note.  And rightfully so.  You kiddies have no idea what a real pop star is.  Add up all the American Idol winners and multiply times a thousand and you’ll have some idea of how MJ ruled the 80s.

List your favorite MJ song and/or memory.

Do you like the dark and macabre?

No?

Didn’t think so, but I still felt compelled to share this gem. Jarboe:

In the late 80′s/90′s Jarboe worked side by side with Gira (yes, mr. Angels of Light himself) in the punk-ish band Swans.
