341: The Waitresses // Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful?

Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful? The Waitresses 1982, Polydor

The Waitresses were such a peculiar project: considered a borderline novelty band based on their two hit singles (no wave-y stripper anthem “I Know What Boys Like” and wondrous ska noel song “Christmas Wrapping”), their membership connects dots between the ‘70s Akron scene (Devo, Tin Huey), Television, the Psychedelic Furs, and John Zorn, and featured an actual waitress on lead vocals. Said waitress, Patty Donahue, was a true natural at the post-punk sprechgesang thing. For other singers, a flat affect was often a way to mask shyness or to de-emphasize the vocalist’s personality. Donahue was cool enough to simply be herself up there, sarcastic, fabulous, smart, and messy. She makes the lyrics sound so natural you assume she’s basically singing her diary—which is why not a day goes by without some bright young woman, who’s felt utterly seen by a song like “No Guilt,” giving a startled “Oh!” at the realization the very much male Chris Butler wrote all the words.

Their debut Wasn’t Tomorrow Wonderful? is often nearly as prog as it is punk (try to follow the zig-zagging “Quit” or “Heat Night”), the songs crammed with wild hairpin tempo changes and skronky bridges that somehow still sound like something you might hear playing over the PA at the grocery store. They need all that busy-ness to accommodate Butler’s absurdly verbose lyrics, which have the respect for meter of a jazzy spoken word recital (so none, I mean). The musicians need to really have their working boots on to keep this stuff feeling poppy, but for the most part they nail it with panache.

And those lyrics! I can think of few albums as legitimately clever as this one, even forty years on. Donahue’s glib performance of a young woman getting her shit together on “No Guilt” could describe any number of girls I knew in college and, from what I glean from social media anyway, still works for the present generation. And truly, today’s assembly line of singer-songwriters trying to score clout by writing the most withering lowercase boy-bye diss (see Kara Jackson’s damp “therapy” for one) wish they could do what Butler does with “Jimmy Tomorrow.” The potshots are sparkling (���There's nothing that's wrong with me / That money can't cure / But I don't want to be somebody else's / Learning experience / Some rich kid's way to spend his allowance”), but Butler understands that the woman in the story’s more intriguing than the bad ex, and by keeping her the focus of the monologue he finds both a pithy diagnosis of her social ailments (“It's what happens when your choices / Are narrowed to fashion or violence”) and her emotional ones (“I guess I set impossible goals / And I don’t know when to quit / Is that it?”). On an album with no ballads and little sentimentality, Donahue’s vocal finds something really resonant in these lines, even as the band absolutely goes off behind her. But for the Waitresses, angst was always best used as a springboard for a brilliant punchline, and they end the album with an all-timer: “My goals? / My goals are to find a cure for irony and make a fool out of God.”

The band didn’t last long (two LPs and an EP), and it’s not clear whether their very specific brand of schtick could’ve survived the transition from new wave to alternative rock without losing its dazzle. But Butler and Donahue deserve to be mentioned when the all-time great lyricist/vocalist tandems are discussed, because like a good kitchen / front of house pairing, they make a very complex business look seamless.

John Zorn at 70 – November Music, ’s-Hertogenbosch, NL

Incerto

Piano Trio's ft. Stephen Gosling & Jay Campbell

Chaos Magick

[scotianostra]

Birthday Musician Finley Quaye, born 25th March 1974, Edinburgh.

Quaye comes from a musical background with Ghanaian lineage - his father was the jazz singer/pianist Cab Kaye, while his brother Caleb Quaye played guitar for Hookfoot and Elton John in the 70s, followed by a stint with Hall And Oates in the 80s. Quaye was raised in Manchester and on leaving school he returned to Edinburgh, where he worked as a paint sprayer, and often drove to Newcastle to attend gigs by artists such as 808 State and Soft Cell.

Moving back to Manchester, he embarked on a BTEC course in music and sound engineering, but did not complete his tuition. He briefly relocated to London where he joined the Donga Tribe and practised drumming. His aspirations towards a singing career began when he returned to Manchester, where he voiced a track for A Guy Called Gerald in one take. Shortly after the session, he returned to Edinburgh, where he unexpectedly heard the track on the radio, and subsequently began listening to dub music. His initial inspiration came from an unorthodox source, the New York-based avant-gardist John Zorn’s ‘Black Hole Dub’, although he was later inspired by more conventional performers.

Quaye recorded his first solo outing on a four-track tape, singing and playing drums, bass and guitar. In March 1997, he released the Ultra Stimulation EP, which demonstrated his diverse influences, including Charles Mingus, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. He also embarked on the live circuit, debuting at Bristol’s Malcolm X centre, where he supported Luciano.

In June, he released ‘Sunday Shining’, which gave a nod to Bob Marley’s ‘Sun Is Shining’, as well as other reggae hits including Dennis Brown’s ‘Money In My Pocket’. The song, delivered in a style similar to that of a young Burning Spear, became his first UK chart hit and Quaye’s unique approach was much lauded by the critics. The promotional wheels were set in motion with appearances at the major summer festivals, including the Essential Roots Day alongside Everton Blender, Cocoa Tea and Anthony B. in Finsbury Park, London, and the release of his debut album. Further chart success followed with the singles ‘Even After All’, ‘It’s Great When We’re Together’, and ‘Your Love Gets Sweeter’, and he was voted Best Male Singer at the 1998 BRIT Awards.

I wish I could say Leither, Quaye had gone from strength to strength, but he has had a troubled life since then, appearing in several courts on various charges after unsavoury incidents, one was over an argument over Game Of Thrones.  He was once booed off stage halfway through a performance at a Madness festival in 1998, billed as a pre World Cup bash, Finley endeared himself to the English partisan audience by making derisory statements concerning the England football squad’s likely performance in the competition, just normal Scottish banter, but the English didn’t see it that way! 

In 2015 he played a gig in Gloucester, not turning up for the soundcheck, eventually the gig began at 9pm and Quaye started playing with his back to the audience, the gig promoter appeared and ended it, kicking him off stage telling the audience he had never seen a man act so unprofessionally and telling them he would refund their money. In 2019 he was ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work for punching a bar manager and threatening to stab him during an unprovoked drunken attack.

He was convicted of  of criminal damage after he admitted throwing sign through a bus door during a row over a fare that happened in 2020. 

He is back was back on stage a couple of years ago, as he celebrates the 25th Anniversary of his double-platinum debut album Maverick A Strike at Edinburgh’s Liquid Rooms on Wednesday 1st June and Glasgow’s Oran Mor on Thursday 2nd June 2022, he is also playing The Garage, London on May 27th.

I've not found a lot oof Finley lately, I hope he is well, I guess he does struggle with his mental health, like I do and\many more of us.

Ed è Lunedì?

Ieri ho fatto tardi dietro ad un audio ricavato da un video di un giocoliere solo perché nel giocolare con le palline su un triangolo crea anche dei ritmi niente male, allora ho pensato di darmi da fare cancellando le parti di applausi del pubblico e dando al suono una nuova identità, il risultato non è male anzi è figo solo che manca qualcosa, quando capirò cos'è e lo completo ve lo posto. Leggo oggi che Amato, non mi dilungo in esternazioni personali, dice che il caso di Ustica, che come tutti sappiamo l'aereo è stato abbattuto da un missile, dice che codesto ordigno di morte è stato sparato dai francesi, ci crediamo? Qualcuno si qualcuno meno, io onestamente sono per un 50%, chi ci dice che non è il solito depistaggio periodico? Sono sempre stato convinto che il missile l'abbiano sparato gli yankee, anche perché sono quelli pronti prontissimi ad agire in caso di allerta. Ma onestamente questa cosa ora dopo 40 anni non ha molto senso, sapere la verità sarebbe bello, che per verità intendo tutti i dettagli secondo per secondo e tutti i nomi dei responsabili dai piloti dei caccia a tutti quelli che hanno insabbiato il fattaccio, così giusto per vederli in faccia sti infami che pur di abbattere un aereo militare straniero privo di armamenti non si fanno scrupoli a sparare un missile in presenza di persone estranee a quello che sta accadendo, mi ricorda i morti di mafia quelli che si trovavano nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato e si beccano una pallottola di rimbalzo. Per soddisfare la verità lo zio Giulio (Andreotti) che era molto intelligente e ironico avrebbe dovuto lasciare un bel librone con tutti i suoi segreti, sai che smacco per tutti i coinvolti nei misfatti di un paese che è stato sempre preda e depredato da chiunque, sarebbe passato alla storia come il politico che ha rotto il silenzio e non solo come uno statista che ha fatto il patto con la mafia e venduto il paese a questo e a quello, un giorno parlando con un tizio italiano, il verdumaio milanese, siamo arrivati alla conclusione che erano meglio quei politici, quelli della prima repubblica, nonostante il magna magna e le merdate che hanno fatto l'Italia andava a gonfie vele, almeno dal nostro punto di vista.

Va bè, politica a parte, oggi ho già tagliato il prato, bello uniforme come un mare fermo tutto verde, l'ho già scritto che una odiavo sta cosa e che ora l'adoro? Forse per via di una visione diversa della vita, del tempo, di come passarlo in modo costruttivo senza sprecarlo, no scrivere qua non è tempo sprecato è psico-terapia 😁

Oggi un contatto, un venexiano doc ha postato un brano che non sentiva da moltissimo, bello mi piace, è un pò tra Badalamenti e Morricone ma cantato, lo posto, ma mi viene in mente molto John Zorn, che consiglio vivamente a chi ama la bella musica, che tra l'altro ha fatto 70 anni proprio l'altro giorno (si ho controllato mica mi ricordo i compleanni di persone che non conosco 😁). A voi.

In realtà è difficile postare qualcosa di Zorn, ha fatto tante e diversificate composizioni, ma posto una cosa molto arabeggiante che a me piace tantissimo

John Zorn 70 - Teatro Valli, Reggio Emilia 31-10-2023

Pagina evento

[ujuro]

I have started going through a list of 500 ~avant garde~ albums I found on rym and I will now use this blog to give my thoughts on every one

What I have been to up (briefly) so far:

Moondog- moondog: I think I want to change my name to moondog

The pop group- y: post punk like this makes me so happy I have nothing else to say

Tim buckley- starsailor: whatever you think this album sounds like based on the over it does Not sound like that

The mothers of a invention- uncle meat: idk why Zappa doesn’t hit for me but most of the time I was just thinking “that’s nice frank” alsjfhdhdhdw

Henry cow- in praise of learning: I kind of forgot about this one already but I think it was good

Ground zero- revolutionary pekinese opera ver.1.28: Holy Fuckin Shit. There are a couple moments on this album that are some of my favorite moments in music ever. I’m gonna pretend that Disney interpolation at the end doesn’t exist though

Mingus- the black saint and the sinner lady: Holy Shit. MAN does the last track in particular hit

John zorn- naked city:….it wasn’t as abrasive as I thought it was going to be so honestly I’m kind of disappointed

Today is the day- sadness will prevail: as much as I appreciate intentionally grating albums with shit production and bad vocals (I’m not kidding here I mean it lol) there was really one stretch of songs in the middle that stayed with me and the rest of the TWO AND A HALF HOUR LONG ALBUM came and went

Sachiko m, toshimaru nakamura, otomo yoshihide- good morning good night: I fall into the camp of “random tones played at random intervals is good music actually” but if you have any health issues that may be exacerbated by high pitched tones playing for a long time than you should probably avoid this at all costs aldjfhshdhs

Gorguts-obscura: it’s masterfully played death metal but I feel like you can tell if youll like it or not like two tracks in

William basinski- the disintegration loops: my brain has been too addled by years of political discourse and George bush memes to be able to assess with Accidental Soundtrack To 9/11 with any clarity NEXT

Scraping foetus off the wheel- nail: theater kid (complimentary)

The residents- not available: theater kids (derogatorily but in a complimentary way)

Contortions- buy: not my favorite no wave album ever but I just love no wave so much that it doesn’t really matter

This heat-this heat: I listened to deceit a while back and I didn’t hit as much as a expected it to but but thankfully this one works a lot better for me. It’s also helping with the developing theory that no matter how experimental you think music can get nowadays some random guys were doing the exact same thing better in the 70s

Anyway that is all so far see you next time

THYLACINE

“Poly (and 74 Musicians)”

Este nuevo álbum incluye los mejores trabajos anteriores de Thylacine y unos cuantos temas totalmente nuevos reorganizados de forma épica y ambiciosa con la ayuda de 74 músicos de la Orchestre National Pays de la Loire y el Coro Maîtrise des Pays de la Loire y dirigidos por la polifacética artista Uèle Lamore, para una poderosa mezcla de Electro, Ambient y Clásica. Ya disponible el adelanto “Poly (and 74 musicians)”.

Escucha el adelanto AQUÍ

Mira el videoclip AQUÍ

Esta versión orquestal de su emblemático tema "Poly", extraído de su primera obra Transsiberian, es el último paso de un viaje. Un itinerario que comenzó en 2015, cuando se subió al emblemático tren Transiberiano ruso provisto de sus micrófonos y máquinas, para componer y grabar su primer álbum durante un viaje de 10.000 km de Moscú a Vladivostok.

Captó la inspiración y los sonidos de la polifonía búlgara, combinando notas del pasado con sonidos del futuro y creando un presente inmemorial.

Sobre el tema, Thylacine dice: "’Poly’ es un tema que compuse en el ferrocarril transiberiano, basado en una grabación de polifonía búlgara.

Como no llevaba mucho equipo conmigo en el tren, este tema consta de elementos bastante sencillos, incluido un "falso arreglo orquestal" muy sintético hecho con un pequeño teclado midi en el tren. Ya he tenido la oportunidad de interpretar varias versiones diferentes durante mis conciertos, pero siempre he querido grabar correctamente las partes de cuerda con una orquesta de verdad. Cuando surgió el proyecto de hacer un concierto con una orquesta sinfónica, pasó directamente a encabezar la lista de piezas a reinterpretar.

Para el vídeo que lo acompaña he querido mantener la idea del viaje, muy presente en el álbum Transsiberian, en su versión más sencilla. Cécile Chabert, que dirigió el vídeo, escribió un recorrido que se mueve entre los distintos protagonistas de su interpretación sinfónica según cada momento del tema, y el resultado es una combinación de solo dos planos secuencia similares, filmados durante el ensayo general y el espectáculo en directo''.

SOBRE EL ÁLBUM ‘THYLACINE AND 74 MUSICIANS’

Este nuevo álbum incluye los mejores trabajos anteriores de Thylacine y unos cuantos temas totalmente nuevos reorganizados de forma épica y ambiciosa con la ayuda de 74 músicos de la Orchestre National Pays de la Loire y el Coro Maîtrise des Pays de la Loire y dirigidos por la polifacética artista Uèle Lamore, para una poderosa mezcla de Electro, Ambient y Clásica.

SOBRE THYLACINE

Desde su álbum debut Transsiberian, Thylacine ha desarrollado el gusto por componer a través de los viajes, un proyecto iniciático que le llevó a componer durante su viaje en el ferrocarril transiberiano. Un álbum seminal que permitió al joven prodigio del electro hacerse un nombre en la escena electrónica.

Con el objetivo de combinar música e imagen y hacernos descubrir su mundo a través de los viajes, Thylacine ha seguido escalando posiciones y ha acumulado nada menos que 121 millones de streams. Ya sea con "Anatolia", "Olatu" o "War Dance", Thylacine se ha hecho un nombre escribiendo auténticos éxitos.

THYLACINE es el nombre científico del lobo de Tasmania, una especie que se extinguió hace 70 años. Una palabra preciosa, que William Rezé ha elegido domesticar para encarnar su electrónica progresiva y vaporosa. La sed de libertad forma parte de su ADN y siempre le ha impulsado a buscar nuevos horizontes musicales.

Cada pista individual está impregnada de un sabor singular y revela la amplitud de las influencias del artista: desde pioneros de la música repetitiva -como Steve Reich o Philip Glass- hasta las experimentaciones jazzísticas de John Zorn y el trip-hop de Massive Attack. La música de THYLACINE combina el techno cadencioso y melancólico de Paul Kalkbrenner con las melodías etéreas de Moderat o Four Tet. Pero la música de Thylacine se compone de proyectos audaces que van más allá de los meros límites musicales.

Timeless es el último paso de un viaje iniciado por Rezé hace media década. En 2015 se embarcó en el emblemático tren ruso Transiberiano con sus micrófonos y máquinas, componiendo y grabando su primer álbum mientras realizaba un viaje de 10.000 km de Moscú a Vladivostok. Transsiberian captó la inspiración y los sonidos de las conversaciones de otros pasajeros, los ruidos de la maquinaria o los anuncios de las estaciones de tren. Para su segundo disco, ROADS Vol. 1, Thylacine compró un remolque de 1972, uno de los famosos Airstreams totalmente de aluminio, y lo transformó en un estudio de grabación que luego embarcó en un carguero que cruzó el Atlántico y recuperó un mes después en Buenos Aires. Atraído a Sudamérica por lo desconocido y la ausencia absoluta de referencias, Thylacine quería sumergirse en paisajes desérticos y lunares, explorar cañones multicolores, dunas de arena, bosques de cactus gigantes, picos nevados... y escribir, solo, en la intimidad de su estudio nómada. ROADS Vol. 2 se grabó con el mismo remolque, esta vez en las Islas Feroe.

Lejos de los caminos trillados, Thylacine se ha dado a conocer recientemente al componer la banda sonora de la famosa serie de Canal + Ovni(s) temporada 1 y 2, una serie aclamada por la crítica que no deja de reinventarse.

A través de "9 Pieces", su último proyecto publicado en octubre de 2022, Thylacine ha querido rendir homenaje a algunos temas icónicos que actualmente sólo se publican de forma digital e independiente y hacernos descubrir sus nuevas composiciones, todas ellas igual de transportadoras y refrescantes. Su nuevo opus "9 Pieces" contendrá temas inéditos de sus últimos viajes y encuentros, piezas que hay que ensamblar para reconstituir un puzzle y sumergirse en el universo de Thylacine.

Como este objeto, cada pieza musical encontrará su lugar junto a sus grandes éxitos.

El escenario es otro espacio que THYLACINE está deseando explorar. Quiere sentirse tan libre durante sus actuaciones en directo como en el estudio. Intérprete intrépido, toca todo lo que puede, improvisa, no rehúye introducir su saxo alto en la mezcla, y se hace uno con la música, libre de las ataduras de las máquinas. Las proyecciones gráficas y la escenografía envolvente de sus actuaciones en directo difuminan aún más las líneas que separan la pista de baile de la fantasía. Nos convertimos en sus compañeros de viaje en una travesía salvaje e íntima, cuyo destino sigue siendo un misterio.

El joven productor está imprimiendo su elegante garra en la escena electro francesa tras numerosos espectáculos con entradas agotadas en La Cigale, Le Trianon, L'Olympia y Salle Pleyel, cuatro de los mejores locales de París.

2023 será sin duda un año crucial para el joven artista, con las entradas agotadas para su nuevo espectáculo en directo junto a la talentosa directora Uèle Lamore y una orquesta sinfónica, y actuaciones con todas las entradas vendidas en dos de los mayores festivales de Francia dedicados a la música contemporánea y clásica: Días de Festival en La Philarmonie de París, y Les Nuits de Fourvière.

Volverá a la carretera en otoño, tras más de quince fechas por Europa y Estados Unidos a principios de año, y cerrará su gira en el emblemático local La Seine Musicale de París, ante más de 6.000 personas.

Sony Music Masterworks se compone de los sellos Masterworks, Sony Classical, Milan Records, XXIM Records y Masterworks Broadway.
