Big Bill Broonzy : Trouble in Mind [ purchase ] Jimmy Witherspoon : Trouble in Mind [ purchase ] James Blood Ulmer : Trouble in Mind [ purchase ] Trouble in Mind is a primal blues song. I don't know if anyone knows how old it is. From the lyrics, it could be as old as the railroads, but the versions heard here each present [...]
Happy Super Bowl Sunday, you super people! I hope your team won, if you're a sports guy who likes a certain sports team. Otherwise, as we say in New York (about the Mets) better luck next year! Speaking of which, pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training soon. I don't have anything else to say really, so I guess I'll stop stalling and get to this week's mix tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs : I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever [...]
for some reason i found myself listening to this today. this being 802s for this comp known as c81. the rest of this post is exactly what i wrote when i posted this back in 08. c81 was compiled by nme journalist roy carr and rough trade pr dude christopher rose for the 5th anniversary of independent label movement in the uk and of course to show off rough trades wares. more info can be found here , via wikipedia. there's some real awesome stuff here, there are a few turds too. but of course what might be pure [...]
A drugged driver had a concrete surprise from the combination of the drugging and exhaustion. The locals who found him barely alive in the wreckage gave him a great river, the tents of a king and endless supplies of spring water, but all he did was attempt to use postcultural patriarchialist theory to modify and attack their class system. He was depressed for years due to their lack of aircraft, their terrible renderings of planetscapes and the preponderance of orphans in the area. The day before his death, he was quoted as saying, "Wave your dumb brains, your shut jaws [...]
On his 1982 album Black Rock , James "Blood" Ulmer managed to channel the musical spirits of Captain Beefheart and James Brown at the exact same time. No mean feat, especially since they were both alive at the time. It's got to be some of the least jazzy stuff that Ulmer ever recorded, but it's none the worse for that. There's even the odd pause where it sounds like he's going to turn into Hendrix. This is high octane blues so funky that it would cripple any fool brave enough to attempt to dance to [...]
How is it we've never had any James Blood Ulmer here at Doklands before? It defies belief, because his Beeheartian avant-blues/jazz/funk is just the sort of thing that we love. It's sticky and frenetic, and on Open House from his 1982 album Black Rock there's a definite Sonny Sharrock edge to his playing. If you hear people saying that he plays too many notes, it's because their feet move too slow. James Blood Ulmer - Open House (alternate [...]
James 'Blood' Ulmer was a blast... but my predictions about the poor quality and mismatching of the South Bank's support groups were verified again – as overall curator, Ornette holds the blame, although I guess this disparate bunch were put through on the local nod. I spent the set drifting off mostly when I wasn't inventing insults for this review. Put to one side in the end – what is the point? In the interests of recording the event, someone called Shlomo bounded on, with the demeanour of an early morning children's show host and announced [...]
I have been deeply embedded in an ongoing project which is moving nicely forwards... so time for a break! Off to London later on to have a mosey round the Futurism Exhibition at the Tate Modern. A walk down by the river, then grab a beer and off to James 'Blood' Ulmer's gig at my unfavourite venue... hope the support is better than they usually are... report tomorrow... Part of Ornette's Meltdown Festival - going to catch him on sunday night...
by Will Rigby My vinyl-to-digital conversion arrangement never worked very well and is at the moment completely nonexistent. However, back in the good old days of 2005 I transferred a handful of 45s to digital. "Are You Glad To Be In America?" mp3 James Blood Ulmer Rough Trade (1980) This is one of the most ferocious and wonderful pieces of music ever committed to tape/vinyl, and is very hard/expensive to find. It pulls off the feat of [...]
Miles Davis's electric period was reviled during its time but has come to be seen as a cornerstone of music as diverse as post-punk and techno.
Various Artists Good Riddance, George W. Bush / Selector Series / BUY The dawn of the new year has us looking forward to Inauguration Day more excitedly than we ever have before. No matter how you voted in the 2008 election, 2009 marks the end of an era. (Okay maybe it was only eight years, but [...]
FREE LANCING WHERE DID ALL THE GIRLS COME FROM? James Blood Ulmer Free Lancing Columbia : 1981 JBU, guitar, vocals; Amin Ali, bass; G. Calvin Weston, drums; Ronnie Drayton, guitar (on "Girls"); Diane Wilson, Irene Datcher, and Zenobia Kinkerite, backing vocals (on "Girls"). George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic broke and then mocked the genre boundaries that separated rock and funk. So where does that leave James Blood Ulmer , [...]
