ALBERT AYLER – Complete Live at the Slug’s Saloon Recordings

i almost typed about how little I know about jazz, but then I realized I probably said that before. I got into Albert Ayler after reading Thoughts of Ionesco’s influence list (influelist?). I only ever picked up the Impulse Story, but I usually cruise the jazz sections (saxtions? AHHHHH) looking for his stuff, never really finding anything. He basically picks up where Coltrane left off on Ascension, which is the only Coltrane I own. I’m not a very good music appreciator I know. Even now, where I should be rattling off a bunch of tired ass beat poetry platitudes about the multiplying genius of an Albert Ayler performance, I’m still fighting the urge to turn the self-conversation into yet another metallic hardcore verbal fap session. Ayler does it for me cause he had a sense of mood and emotion in his compositions. They’re free flowing and nearly impossible to pin down, but there is also a persistent melodic undercurrent that counter-acts the aural surrealism, creating something that’s somehow both foreign and familiar. Ok I wrote something smart (I think), so maybe we should talk about hot dogging giant tits with a dollop of white mustard. You know, sperm.

Favorite tracks – “Our Prayer”, “Ghosts”


NAKED CITY – Radio

Another one of those “I’m so lucky to have found you / what kind of cervix-hole would give this up?” finds. Maybe they bought that rad box set from a few years ago that had all their stuff. Hands down one of my top ten favorite bands of all time. Every mall in America should have Leng T’che playing in a constant loop. Every eatery in the country should have Torture Garden alternating with Grand Guignol at all times. Every film soundtrack, television soundtrack, national anthem, and variation of “Happy Birthday” ever produced in any and all countries should be replaced with Heretic in surround sound. Maryland Death Fest should replace the word “Maryland” with “NAKED CITY”, the word “Death” with “NAKED CITY”, and the word “Fest” with “NAKED CITY”. The NAKED CITY NAKED CITY NAKED CITY 2014 AND BEYOND. Naked City would headline, and all the bands would play Naked City songs, and replace all their members with Naked City. It will last for 6 and Half weeks, spread into every bar, then every place of business, then every home. Then it will spill over into sporting events, movie productions, television premiers, award ceremonies, magazine and literary publications, porn shoots, national and regional elections of all kinds… and then you can cum… only jizz has been replaced with Naked City. Naked City.

Naked City: Naked City, Naked City, Naked City, Naked City.
