this is great
i swear, the first 15 seconds of this dion and the belmonts song he played sounded like VU, actually the guitar and drums on the whole thing kinda do
― 'glown' with the king (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:09 (eleven years ago) link
yeah there's lots of that kind of thing -- the solo on the crazy elephant track there at the beginning is a dead ringer for lou's VU style too. also awesome when lou talks about critics saying his lead guitar playing is inept. "i never said it was ept!"

It's always great to run into an old friend isn't? Maybe share a beer, tell a few jokes and swap stories about the old days, sharing those happy memories that never fail to put a smile on both your faces (by the way, is that a Christmas tree in the background?)

tyler, that sendspace link tried to install some horrible malware on my pc. just letting you know. 'easylife' or some shit.

Yeah, I packed it too.

sorry for the malware! sendspace kind of blows. it worked for other people i heard from... was the file that you ended up with a zip file called "WPIX"? Sendspace is weird -- it gives you a bunch of "Download" links, but the only one you want is the one that says: " Click here to start download from sendspace".

lol yes. glad you got it. everyone in the world should hear this. the live cale trax are amazing too -- i wonder if there's a whole recording of that show out there? it is funny that cale and reed were on apparently pretty good terms at this point. maybe if they're not working together they can tolerate each other.

the live Cale tracks are kind of what I expected Cale's solo work to consist of. before I heard Church of Anthrax and Paris 1919 anyway. just full of angry howling.

Think this may have been the first time I heard "I Wonder Why" all those years ago. Awaiting the bizarre interchange with the caller discussed on the John Cale thread.

Funny how Lou was being more upfront about being gay ca 1979 and then, whoops, next thing you know, he's married! That's Lou for ya!

Everyone zinging Jimmy Carter in 1979 ;_;
Is there an open thread just for musician drop-ins to radio stations, taking calls & being kind of fun, pompy dickheads? <3 hearing these, especially the calls.

Feel like he's just doing what he usually did, where he isn't saying "I'm gay/queer" but rather "So I was at this gay club dancing with a bunch of hunky sweaty guys all around me all of us appreciating each other's bodies and ..."

On another note, his name is Lewis Alan Reed, right? Where did the Louis "Butch" Firbank stuff come from?
Also, burning up precious minutes listening to this when I could be watching Hulu Criterions.

Ronald Firbank is a cult figure gay writer from the early 20th century, I assume he's just doing a hip namecheck there

Thought "DIsco Mystic" was ridiculous when I first heard it, but it has grown on me over the decades. Also something amusing about the fact that it doesn't really have a disco beat or a disco bass or guitar- the only thing that makes it disco is the words "disco mystic" being repeated over and over again.

It's like a throwback to his Pickwick Records days- "Hey, let me cash in on the disco craze."
