Mariah Carey - Fantasy (Pop Jam 95)

i have to feel that chris smith really has not been paying attention to about 15 years of american music when he sends me this clip saying 'hey man have you heard this song, it's great' yeah i know that already man and pop music has been remaking this for a decade. but yeah it still is really great and i would like to thank chris for reminding me how much i dig this song.

Thinking of the Mighty Jack Rose

The first snowfall of this winter.

I was coming from my studio in kensington on the el towards 69th street and the train exited the tunnel at 46th street. My recently acquired cell phone rang and it was my best friend Chris. He said I have bad news and literally as he told me the snow began to fall. Big, fluffy, beautiful flakes around 3 pm on the 5th of december, the first snowfall this winter and Jack Rose is gone. Chris and I only spoke for a stop or two and then I rode the rest of the way looking out the window thinking of Jack. The snowfall held fast while I transferred to a trolley and even when I walked the few blocks to the house. I was in a trance really absolutely stunned that the Mighty Jack Rose was gone.

I often joke that i have the musical taste of a 15 year old girl (from the valley circa 1982, manchester/glasgow 1985-89, or even new jersey circa 1997-2007) yet that is only partially true. I do have a wider fondness for music due in part to my close friends Chris Smith, Jack Sloss, Steve Gunn, Dan Murphy and many others whose own musical obsessions have tipped me to varying corners of sound. That is how I got to know the music of Jack Rose. I went to see him play numerous times, at first because friends were appearing on bills with him, yet quickly realized he was the main draw. I remember fondly sitting on a floor in a bookshop just watching his nimble fingers so effortlessly coaxing the most beautiful music.

This summer I got to hang out with Jack and eat his delicious pizza at a real record head party. Chris set his tube amp system up and everyone gathered around to hear the great sounds. There were alot friends their so even I got to play three songs like everyone else. I started with Marianne Faithfull's 'Easy in the City' and Harmonica Dan remarked that he had bought an autographed copy for super cheap that very morning and I told him I had bought this exact record from record exchange years ago. This was days after Michael Jackson died so I of course went next to 'Billie Jean' (also Thriller is an amazing sounding record) and Jack Rose immediately left the room. He was so mad I played Michael Jackson, but it was funny. It was totally cool, it was just that he had his standards and Thriller was not under consideration. Jack would probably hate for me to be talking about him alongside Michael jackson but I am going to anyway. They both were immensely talented, driven, complex and yes, kind people taken from the Earth far far too soon. Jack Rose was the coolest dude, a tough yet tender comrade. I was able to talk to him about my work and he sought me out at shows to say hi. I saw him last a week or so ago when he was DJing and he seemed so great. It is so terrible that he is gone, he was an inspiration and friend to so many and a dear dear husband to Laurie. I am so shocked and saddened that I won't get to see him again.

The Silvertones - True confession (live)

these are the kind of dudes i want to hang out with

Diane Lane - Nowhere Fast

breathtaking

Television Personalities live bootleg

if you are under 30 you probably won't understand this clip yet. if you are over 30 or under and you hang on thru the 5 minutes and ten seconds it really is the only tvp's you need. however if you ever now or in the future or even the past find yourself falling asleep with a beer on your chest you may want to check dan treacy's back catalog.

THE PARACHUTE MEN - SOMETIMES IN VAIN

in 1988 this was my favorite song totally via andy bisconti from an nme comp i loved this song so much. total soundtrack to summer stage for me. this is the sound i hear when i think of those great times.

Elton John - Bitter Fingers

towards the end of my la trip i was working on drawings while justin was at work and he doesnt have much vinyl so i just played a warsaw bootleg, the first bikini kill, two songs off mott the hoople and this elton john song over and over. i think i played bitter fingers about 25 times in a row at one point. this is one of my favs of his lesser known songs along with the cage and grimsby. the hook with the piano and the guitar at the end are so great. also what a great line, 'its hard to write a song with bitter fingers . . .' words from and for the wise.

kustom kar kommandos

the greatest music video ever made. followed i believe by diana ross 'upside down', michael jackson 'billie jean' , the bangles 'going down to liverpool' and the happy mondays 'wrote for luck' the version with the kids in it. that's my top 5.

New Order - Touched By The Hand Of God

last nite hanging with chris and constance somehow a tangent went from c thomas howell to finding sarah jessica parker cute in only square pegs or la story to talk concerning kathryn bigelow and discovering this great new order video she directed. oh also switching the channel between cops and the lost boys and watching roger ebert review battlefield earth and pondering the demise of barry pepper's acting career.

Lena Zavaroni - Hi! Summer 1977 - 'I had a Brontosaurus'
