Dollar Bin #48:

Songs of Love and Hate, Part 2

Individual notes, verses, flashes of color and morsels can sum up all that is great about a given artist.

Joyce's heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit and Eliot's patient etherized on a table instantly encapsulate each author's vast oeuvre; Botticelli's cornered, puffing zephyrs sum up everything that dwells within his immense, canvassed, rushes of air.

Plus, you could dedicate a week or two straight to Dinosaur Jr's catalog or just get the whole thing done quick by letting J Mascis order you to get him a bucket.

Like J says, it's sometimes best to absorb the whole by ignoring it and staring instead, well, into the face of "ducket".

So let's follow J's advice and, after an initial post that focused largely on Jew's harps and orgies, dedicate this Part 2 to zooming in on Leonard Cohen's own, single, summation bucket: the opening track of Songs of Love and Hate, Avalanche.

All the vast riches hidden within Cohen's monstrous but sexy raincoat are on display in this track.

The opening verse goes a long way to sum up Cohen's art. "I stepped into avalanche: it covered up my soul." This isn't a guy with inherited hardships; he bought a house on a Greek island before he was famous with inherited funds; plus he was really, really good looking.

But one of the great things about the man is his ownership of his own sorrow: he knowingly and willingly stepped into a swirl of hardship and frozen water. It's his own damn fault, and he owns that. And when horrors covered up his soul, leaving him hunchbacked, crippled and befouled, he consistently pulled off the ultimate magic trick, transmuting his self-entrapment into a golden sleep of verse and art and song.

And we're the miners in Cohen's song, of course: we stumble into Cohen as we tunnel after more obvious and conventional beauty. I discovered him in the backseat of my teenage girlfriend's parent's suburban on a four hour drive through the mountains.

"Who is this?" I asked the car. I was already transfixed.

"Leonard Cohen!" chorused the entire family of 5, including an 8 year old with pigtails and a stuffed rabbit in her lap. Clearly, they all thought, this new boyfriend is an idiot.

There's a sonic summation at work in Avalanche too: Cohen's signature sinister and churning Spanish guitar, originally encountered on Avalanche's prequel, The Stranger Song, is met by equally sinister and strident strings that crowd him and then retreat time and again; often Cohen would bring in female vocalists to commune with him and contradict him on his records. But this song is too personal, too harrowing, to foist onto anyone else. He burdens the song's weight alone, letting it bury him deeper and deeper down beneath the hill.

We always want it darker when it comes to Cohen. With Avalanche he truly delivers.

And then there's the song's phrasing. Dylan did a real nice job of publicly honoring Cohen at the time of his passing and it occurs to me now that, consciously or unconsciously, the Bobster, after blowing out his voice altogether in the 80's, surely taught himself how to sing all over again in the 90's and Ought's by channeling Cohen's work on songs like this.

Every word in Avalanche is stretched for and clawed after; every phrase refuses to submit to convention and instead is determined by its owners own soulful sense of time. Cohen and the later day Dylan knew they couldn't sing like other men. So they stopped trying, focusing instead on pace and mood, transmuting their own grotesqueries into beautifully individualized truths.

If both songs are indeed utterly Bob and Leonard, how could anyone ever cover such songs? Now one is gonna enjoy reading anyone else's versions of Molly Bloom or Prufrock; Zephyr in anyone else's painting is just a fat baby who needs his diaper changed in a big way.

But music allows for tributes to become solid art. The Cowboy Junkies turned in a deft, Spanish-tinged cover of Give Myself Up To You almost instantly.

And Nick Cave did the same thing 40 years ago with Avalanche.

These covers don't upstage the originals. They kneel to them. And so do I.

QUESTIONS FOR 15 FRIENDS I was tagged by @scifi-cowboy :) Sweet idea! Let's get to know some mutuals!

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?: Neg. My parents picked my name out of a name book and I hate it 😅

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?: Last week, listening to the SW audiobook Victory's Price, sobbing like bitch when the pilots start telling their stories to each other. Ugh.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?: Neg. I have fur-children though!

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?: (Field) hockey, softball, bit of soccer in school. Too hard to do teams sports now with shift work, but keen to try and join a mate in playing ice hockey. Love to run. Sporty upbringing, which has resulted in being stupidly competitive.

DO YOU USE SARCASM?: Pfft, me?! never

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?: It's hard to describe, and this is going to come across wishy-washy, but their energy. What's the energy they're giving off? Approachable? Connectable? Genuine? But also, love a good smile. ☺️

WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOUR?: Green

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?: Happy endings all the way. Please give me hope.

ANY TALENTS?: Ugh, this question sucks. Does being very good at my job count? Other talent would be the ability to hyperfixate on new hobbies to do them to a half-decent standard in a very short amount of time before getting distracted by something else.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?: Downunder mate 🇦🇺

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?: Sewing, knitting, fanfic writing, running, just started burlesque which is gonna stick I think! And singing by myself in the car.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?: Fur-children! A border collie, two cats and an old horse.

HOW TALL ARE YOU?: Five foot six

FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?: Drama studies and psychology

DREAM JOB?: I actually really do love my current job, despite how stressful it is (ambulance dispatch). But damn, I would have loved to have made a living doing something creative/performative, like a cabaret/theatre performer, costume artist, etc.

Look, I'm gonna try tagging a lucky 13 in this. Please don't feel the need to answer any of this. It's just a bit of fun 😜 @veditas @the-merchant00 @halepo @bri-the-nautilus @loevawrites @sapphicsparkles @rancidsugar @detective-jane-rizzoli @that-one-loth-cat @kokonut713 @bufftat-junkie @across-the-cypress-trees @balancingtheforce

Chelsea Wolfe

I let love in (A Nick Cave cover)

something i find appealing is an artist making another artists work their own thing. Johnny Cash "Hurt" is a great example, and another favorite is "Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies.

[audio-luddite]

Oldie but Goodie

Err I guess all of my stuff is old.

Right now I have the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Session LP spinning. Actually it is a two disk gourmet issue but only 33.333...

I have not run through this front to back for ages. I usually do that horrible audiophile habit of jumping to specific tracks. Not today. Forced rest after a thing that took a lot out of me. So lay back and let her spin.

This is originally an early digital recording listed as an R-Dat in 1987. Famously with a single Calrec Ambisonic Microphone. First released on CD (Got it) and it earned praise from artists and audio geeks. The LP is very good. I do not care for the purists who get all weird about analog dogma. It sounds really good. It ticks all the audio boxes.

And the music is excellent. Bluesy country simple honest cut back to the basics. No fancy studio or studio effects. It was recorded in a church space with natural reverb. No equalization , no compression, nada. What the microphone heard is what you get.

Lead singer is Margo Timmins. Occasionally one of her brothers sings backup. There are many little things on each track for a detail geek to tease out. There is the quite count-in on "Sweet Jane". The air conditioner on the first track. I am at Sweet Jane right now and the high hats are right there clean and sharp.

Oh now one of my favourite bits the foot tapping on "postcard blues". Deep bass but no drum. The guitar joins in for a bit. Then.....there is that harmonica! Ringing all around the big church it is. Played into one of those old microphones. Old School!

Even though the recording was through one mike the band set up their gear just like in a club with Amps and PA. So this is what you hear. Just another gig. History making though.

And I am hearing a lot of little things not noticed before. Yes those cool ARC textures, but even some other things. I hear a quiet comment by one of the band and a previously lost few guitar chords.

You get great sound on the CD, but my LP front end is much better.

This was good.

It is why I have this system. Give a good recording the playback it deserves.

👾!

For Angelina Ylvaris, half-elf Bard and Mythic Azata!

"To Live Is To Fly" - Cowboy Junkies

To live is to fly Low and high, So shake the dust off of your wings And the sleep out of your eyes.

So Angelina was a depression game, I didn't have the energy to actually deal with conflict so she was a very easy difficulty where I just exploded everything. But because she was created at a low point her backstory is a bit grim. She's divorced. She's a former circus trapeze artist. She's feeling down and directionless and was just trying to visit her mom when the events of the game start. So this song is both for me and her, of learning to embrace the joy and freedom of Azata. (Although if I pick her game back up I have been contemplating taking her Legend.)

Blackbird

I grew up in a family that loved the Beatles. While I picked up on songs and facts by osmosis and from being a pop culture junkie, it wasn’t like I was totally ignorant. I would much rather listen to punk, new wave, or Prince and Madonna. When my cousins and I were together I zoned out or went and talked with the adults when the conversation turned to the Beatles. I knew my Aunt loved them and Paul was her favorite. It’s not that hated them, it’s just that my interests lie elsewhere.

Cut to 20 years later I was slowly falling in love with my work bestie. He loved music just as much as me, by then my tastes had expanded but still didn’t include the Beatles. When we worked together we talked about music or his stupid girlfriend our entire shift, however much time had together. We dissected the music tapes the company sent us that we were forced to listened to on a tortuous loop. It’s funny how a song can go from yuck to oh I love this when you hear it 100 times a week. Of course, the reverse can happen, too. He played bass and was always talking about songs in terms of the rhythm of the bass. Neither of us loved country music but we did love the old country artists. Dolly and Johnny Cash were, are our favorites. I had been falling in love with the Dixie Chicks and selected a few I thought he’d like and one or two I knew he wouldn’t, just to push a bit. He admitted he liked most of what I told him to listen to and then made some comment about the Beatles. He started on a tangent that was very reminiscent of my cousins but when I was younger. It honestly made me like him more. I had to come clean though and told him I didn’t know much and I had never really listen to them.

This led to a crash course in the Beatles through his eyes. He told me which albums to start with, when to listen to the whole album, which songs he liked the best and sometimes just single versions of songs. He added personal anecdotes as well as facts he knew about the recordings. I listen to everything with an open mind, just as he had for me with the Dixie Chicks. I told him I thought my favorite Beatle was John. By the time we finished I had changed my mind and he smiled and said he thought I might. When class was over, I told him Paul and George were my favorites, equally and that while I really liked many songs, my two favorites were Helter Skelter and Blackbird. He made me a mixtape of his favorite Beatles songs that also included Helter Skelter and Blackbird. I wish I had that tape right now to listen to as I type this.

Yesterday I listen to Cowboy Carter for the first time while working. I knew Bey covered Blackbird. I wasn’t prepared for the it to stop me, mid typing and listen with my hands in my head. I wasn’t prepared to feel so emotional, near tears. It was a mix of her interpretation which gave reverence to the original while making it wholly her own, as only Beyonce can. It’s a really beautiful cover. I didn’t expect to be flooded with memories and emotions from learning about the Beatles with my work bestie that I loved with my whole heart. I never told him. I don’t regret that. Our friendship was one of the best most important ones of my life. I learned a lot from it and he gave me so much music that I love to this day.

HIIIIII!!!!!!! I LOVE UR WRITING AND STUFF I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW BEFORE I GAVE YOU A PROMPT FOR FEMFLASH FEBRUARY :D

okay so ‘sharing headphones’ *runs away and starts flying*

Thank you so much for this sweet note! And thank you, also, for this delightfully tender prompt. I had such a time picking the music for this one! It was surprisingly challenging to pick music that would fit the tone I was trying to go with (ironic, since I didn't even wind up identifying the artist). Fun fact: the runner-up choice for what they'd be listening to was "Take Me" by Cowboy Junkies, but I decided it didn't quite fit what I was aiming for.

[virginreprise]

i discovered your writing this yesterday and i am so taken by your words. you’re truly very gifted, i hope you know that and nurture it! junky pride gave me all sorts of feelings… big sigh! i was curious to know, where do you draw your inspiration from when it comes to fics and just storytelling more generally, apart from the man himself of course? i know you have only shared a few things with us but they are so immersive and i can only imagine how boundless your imagination must be. also… i saw you study english lit, so wondering what are your fave books?! Xoxo 💋

thank you so much, sweetheart!! i really do appreciate it all the kind messages; they're such a huge motivator ♡

to answer your question though, i mainly draw inspiration from song lyrics if i'm being honest. obviously, i love lana del rey - her lyricism is truly poetry. i also draw a lot from the dark, morbid lyricism of nicole dollanganger too and various other artists. i guess i just build from the things that feel special to me. certain imagery can evoke certain feelings as well. i'll see an edit of fucking red dead redemption and suddenly get the urge to write because it pulls a specific idea that i can only ever express through words. i'm not an artist, give me a pencil and paper and tell me to draw something i will give you an awful rendition but words, i can do. i play the piano and the guitar yet even then, when i write music, my faith is not in the melody, it's all in the lyrics.

either way, when it comes to prose i kinda just...make it up as i go along?? i don't really know what i'm doing. i've never been clasically trained - creative writing has never really been taught to me on a detailed level either, i just have a basic knowledge of grammar and turn the thoughts in my own head into something that makes some sense. i'm glad that you find it immersive enough to evoke emotion!! its all i really wish to do because i know how many feelings that i get when i read certain fanfiction because i am a firm believer that fanfiction is writing. there's so many stereotypes surrounding it to lead those less informed to believe that it's all just mindless smut and thirsting but it's so much more than that for me. so many writers get their start in fanfiction! it's a great place to construct your personal writing style and build a more solid knowledge of writing in general.

alsoooo, my favourite books!! my favourite of all time is blood meridian by cormac mccarthy!! i love old west themed stuff (my fave film is the good the bad and the ugly lol) and i read a lot of louis l'amour, especially when i want something that i can read in a few days. i'm really drawn to the history of america, espcially the expansion of the american west so anything outlaw and cowboy related is my fave!! i like pride and predjudice too which i feel is such a basic answer but it was the first classic i ever read!! and as someone who doesn't really like reading the classics because studying them to death at school kinda takes the fun out of it, i really like austens work. there is definitely an element of nostalgia in there, but isn't there in everything?

Can a junkie teach us anything about creativity?

My mornings begin with a visit to the garage, where I stream YouTube while doing a stint on our Life Fitness X-5 elliptical trainer.  

I finished watching Tom Petty – or maybe it was Sheryl Crow or possibly The Cranberries –when a cover of Lou Reed’s Velvet Underground song “Sweet Jane” gets an airing.  Who is this person singing, I wonder, and what about her band, which sounds amazing?)

The singer is Margo Timmins; the band The Cowboy Junkies.  Maybe my music aficionado friend Ken Ohlemeyer knows them, but to me the alien name suggests a dismissible, drug-addled punk-rock group; they are anything but.  I am sold, immediately becoming a convert to their iconoclastic, impossible-to categorize sound.  Every day I find myself scrolling through YouTube to watch their concerts, of which there are several.

Last week I watched a program called A Beautiful Noise, which featured the Junkies’ music interspersed with short commentary by Margo Timmins, who not only is the lead singer but also serves as the band’s voice.  Leading the group, however, is her guitarist/songwriter brother Michael (another brother, Pete, plays drums).

Near the program’s end, about 50 minutes in, Margo had this to say about Michael’s songwriting:

“… he has no ego; when he writes a song, that’s his expression and when he hands it to me, however I interpret it -- and I’m going to interpret it from a female perspective; that’s my first entry into a song --  it’s okay.   “He never sort of says, ‘Well you know that’s not what I meant; why are you doing it that way?’  It’s my song and he allows me to do it my way and that’s … I think that’s his greatest gift to me.  Because it must be hard sometimes when I take his songs and muck them all up [laughs] and it’s not what he intended.  But he realizes that’s my expression and he has his, which is the actual writing of it.”

I imagined what it would be like if copywriters, art directors, and creative directors approached their work the way Michael Timmins approaches songwriting, devoid of ego?  There’d be no arguments, ever, about the work. Wouldn’t that be great? 

It wouldn’t be great at all.  I want Creative people to own their work, to be invested in it, to believe in it and fight for it.

But by “fight,” I don’t mean a dispute should devolve into a cage death-match.  I don’t want it to choke off discussion and debate, or silence thoughtful, alternative points-of-view.  And I absolutely don’t want it to be so  defensive in  posture it alienates clients and undermines a hard-earned relationship with them.

Chapter 34 of the current edition of The Art of Client Service is called, “Respect What it Takes to do Great Creative.”  In it I point out that,

“While it takes emotional commitment to make creative work, it takes emotional detachment to make it better.”

Given how many absorbing, engaging songs he has written, I have no doubt about Michael Timmins’s level of creative commitment; it’s evident this guy is a serious artist, determined to perfect his craft.  His sister Margo is a singular, distinctive performer; their contract suggests she does not tamper with his writing, and he does not tamper with her singing.

But for those of us not engaged in writing or art directing, striving to make the work better, we need to remember our role as collaborators in the creative process is to “improve the work, not approve it.”

As for putting ego aside to know that buried in a comment is an insight that might make average work good and good work better, now that truly is a gift.

[audio-luddite]

Software.

Well relatively speaking vinyl is softer than many materials. I have a lot of LPs, but I am always on the lookout for special ones.

I have several gourmet editions of popular records. I have that two disk Fleetwood Mac Rumours. I have two fancy Steely Dan LPs. I have a MOFI Emmylou Harris. You know things like that. Basically if I like an album and know it and it may be getting old I may buy a new copy. Easy if you know the album already.

But what about other music? Say an artist I never heard of comes along how do I learn about that. And there are "classic" albums respected by collectors and audiophiles such as Willie Nelson's Stardust, or Jazz at the Pawnshop.

Those guys I usually see a review or a recommendation on-line. I find the "Copper Magazine" on the PS audio site to be a good place for that.

They have staff writers and guest writers. This is where I found the Getz / Gilberto review that led me to spend a lot of money. There is usually at least one music review. Most recent was an album by a West Coast singer Perla Batalla doing Leonard Cohen songs. I used the streaming thing to listen. The basic problem is do you like the music or the performance? The review praised the quality of the recording very much. I like L. Cohen's music and have a few albums. I did not like this particular album. Had I like it I probably would have bought it.

On the stream I can confirm the sound quality is very good. But I did not like her interpretation of the songs, any of them. She sang with LC for years as backup and duets on tours so she knew the material and was close to LC. I just did not like it.

Another album I investigated and was touted on the site was Hyeseong Hong Jazz Orchestra. Great sound quality, large band Jazz group based in New York. Much liked by the author. Also I did not like it on stream. It had great sound, detail and all that. But it just did not move me.

I keep a look out for records I missed or lost. I will probably buy a Rhythm of the Saints LP if I locate a good one. I may even buy the CD like I had before.

It is good to keep it fresh, and LPs cost much less than hardware!

This brings up the only important controversy in this Hobby. Do you have test records or records of music you like? By Test records I do not mean frequency sweeps and tracking torture tests. I do mean LPs with particular sounds or effects that you play just for that. Hey I have lots of records that have "particular sounds" but you gotta like the music. Cowboy Junkies Trinity sessions comes to mind. Yes there is the toe tap thing and the noisy AC duct on the first track, but I like the music.

I also have albums I regret buying but are really good sound. Bought back before streaming test drives and you took your chances.

When I have albums with good sound and I like the music I may play them too much. (Always the same thing says the wife) If I change something or get a new toy I have to try it out with the usual suspects.

I am currently contemplating a small change to my phono Cartridge. I will put in the AT 440 mla. It was a fairly expensive thing that started out sounding quite harsh, but got tamed by a better turntable and lower capacitance in the preamp. It is a remarkable unit but it has been in a box for a couple years. It is mounted on the headshell so it is just an easy swap.

I should do that before my new tubes arrive and the space heater goes back in the rack. They should be on the way soon.

A Very AM Canada Day 2024

This week's episode: A mellow Monday morning spent meandering through the decades of Canadian music. More of a contemplative mood, but as someone else put it, Canada Day should be for reflection as much as celebration. Hopefully this sets the right tone for a bit of both.

Hope you enjoy it.
