A Sud-Ovest di Sonora

 

A Sud-Ovest di Sonora

Cavalcheremo per un'ora verso il tramonto, senza mai raggiungerlo. Dai lati boati incandescenti: è la musica americana per eccellenza.

We'll ride for an hour towards sunset, without ever reaching it. Sideways white-hot rumbles: it's american music par excellence.

w/ ex boris

Il cinema è tutto. Poi vengono il suono degli Appalachi, il vino, il jazz e i blob sonori, i cattivi maestri, Bazin, Eisenstein, Ian Fleming, Daney, la via della stoà, l'hardcore continuum, il western. Non necessariamente in quest'ordine. 

Cinema is everything. Then the sound of the Appalachians, wine, jazz and sound blobs, the bad masters, Bazin, Eisenstein, Ian Fleming, Daney, the stoa way, the hardcore continuum, the western. Not necessarily in that order.

Mimi Parker & Alan Sparhawk

Share

Che la vita sia agra, puttana e infame, una cosa fondamentalmente schifosa, come la natura, costituita nella sua intimità da una concrezione di ribrezzo e dolore, che induce allo scollamento dalla realtà più che le ti avvicini, e che conduca alla follia, lo sappiamo.
Come diceva Marco Aurelio, anche la cosa più bella, o che statisticamente dà più piacere, come il sesso, si riduce a ben vedere a uno strusciamento di mucose e budellini, pezzi di carne imbibiti di sangue, flash nervosi, chimica di base, nemmeno reazioni così complesse.
Ironia della sorte, questa puntata è in costruzione da qualche settimana, volevo dedicarla ai Low (che avrei dovuto vedere al C2C prima che annunciassero la cancellazione) e al southern gothic, doveva essere il congedo del programma che si evolverà in Appaloosa, da questo mese sempre su queste onde digitali, poi l'altrò dì la notizia che non ti aspetti.
Questa puntata è dedicata a Mimi Parker, recentemente deceduta, e Alan Sparhawk, suo compagno. Insieme erano i LOW.

New Riders of the Purple Sage

Share

La scena psichedelica di fine anni sessanta era un brodo di gallina giovanissima, in pratica una frittata. Da quel ribollire frenato, melassato, come in un campo di Higgs, dove incubi fungini, febbri animali e stratificazioni di chitarre trasmettevano calore alle genti intrappolatevi, un nome, o meglio una vena aurifera, si scostò e si salvò da quella manica di hippy immerdati grazie al caro vecchio suono blues western folk, quella dei Grateful Dead. Tutto iniziò a Frisco, ovviamente. Seguendo il solco di Wynn Stewart, questo gruppetto portò fin da subito avanti il cosiddetto Bakersfield sound, una forma di country imbastardito male dal rock'n'roll, elettrico nel credo e nel farsi, con ritmi assillanti e predatori, che dette il là all'honky tonk degli anni '70. Oltre al solito Jerry Garcia, che era ovunque e in nessun posto, il vero fondatore dei New Riders fu John Collins Dawson IV, detto Marmaduke. Negli anni i Riders sono stati sempre nomi differenti, pochissimi rimanevano più di cinque anni. Hanno sfornato un numero ignobile di album, di cui oggi ascolteremo una selezione del repertorio migliore. Buon ascolto, buon country.

Tracklist:

  1. Long Black Veil - New Riders of the Purple Sage

Simon Bonney's Crime & the City Solution

Share

nati dalle ceneri delle particelle, nella suburbia decaduta di sydney, australia, in berry street, nel lontanissimo 77 simon bonney, phil kitchener, dave mackinnon, don mclennan e harry zantey fondano i crime and the city solution, progetto pluridecennale che amalgama post punk e western, americana e outback australiano
a torto considerati avversari dei birthday party, con i quali hanno condiviso qualche turnista, in realtà non c'entrano un cazzo l'un con l'altro, i crime cupi ma aperti, beoni, sgraziati, forse depressi ma comunque vitalisti, gli altri già dannati dalla storia
tra il 78 e il 79 cambia quasi tutta la formazione originaria, si trasferiscono a melbourne e fanno tanti live e si drogano
il successo arriva bruto nell'85, quando simon bonney (sempre alla voce) e mick harvey (sodale del cave, alle chitarre) muovono a londra. recrutano rowland s howard, sempre chitarra, sempre ex birthday party, harry howard al basso e il mitico epic soundtracks alle batterie, ex swell maps e red krayola (mica cazzetti), e pubblicano l'ep capolavoro just south of heaven e l'lp room of lights
alla fine dell'86 si dividono nuovamente
nell'87 simon bonney vola a berlino per seguire gli scratch acid in tour (diventeranno i jesus lizard), ritrova mick harvey e insieme rimettono insieme i crime, per l'ennesima volta. a questo giro entrano: alex hacke degli einsturzende neubauten alla chitarra, chrislo haas dei daf ai synth e bronwyn adams al violino. questa formazione spara fuori gli album shine (capolavoro), the bride ship e paradise discotheque, fanno live in giro per il mondo e poi, ovviamente, si sciolgono nuovamente
nel resto degli anni 90 simon bonney pubblica due album solisti, forever e everyman, trasferendosi in pianta stabile in america, sua patria dell'anima
nel 2012, a detroit, la band si ricompone con, tra gli altri, david eugene edwards dei 16 horsepower. nel 2013 pubblicano quello che ad oggi è l'ultimo album, american twilight, dal titolo esemplificativo, che non è inferiore ai fasti passati del progetto
buon country, se vi va, siore e diori

Eugene Chadbourne

Polistrumentista, compositore, performer e scrittore. Così si autopresenta il Doc Chad, classe '54, newyorkese cresciuto in Boulder, Colorado. Nonostante suoni un po' di tutto, è fondamentalmente uno dei più ispirati chitarristi americani viventi. Attivo principalmente nel continente del jazz, quest'oggi butteremo un timpano nella sua randomica carriera ai confini col country. Attivissimo su Instagram, dove pubblica molti dei suoi disegni, ha un sito personale dove è possibile recuperare aneddoti lisergici sulle sue molte vite passate. Da ricordare a latere il suo progetto noise/rock'n'roll, gli Shockabilly, portato avanti dall'82 all'85 insieme a Mark Kramer e David Licht. In solo tre anni hanno sfornato una discografia invidiabile, sempre all'insegna del cazzeggio, donde segnaliamo vigorosamente di recuperare l'LP Vietnam. Si dice allievo spirituale di Hendrix e Sun Ra. Gli diamo credito.

Instrumentalist, composer, performer and writer. This is how Doc Chad, class of '54, a New Yorker who grew up in Boulder, Colorado, presents himself. Despite playing a little bit of everything, he is basically one of the most inspired American guitarists alive. Active mainly in the jazz continent, today we will throw a eardrum in his random career bordering on country. Very active on Instagram, where he publishes many of his drawings, he has a personal site where it is possible to retrieve lysergic anecdotes about his many past lives. To remember his noise/rock'n'roll project, the Shockabilly, carried out from '82 to '85 together with Mark Kramer and David Licht. In just three years they have produced an enviable discography, always in the name of fooling around, from which we strongly signal to recover the LP Vietnam. He is said to be a spiritual pupil of Hendrix and Sun Ra. We give him credit.

"A lo-fi alternative country band formed in 1989 and disbanded in 2009. They are a showcase for the songwriting and singing of the poet David Berman, who was the only permanent member of the band. His lyrics offer an alternative, sometimes inebriated take on the traditional country themes of lost women, whiskey, Nashville, and disillusionment."
Questo hanno fatto scrivere di loro. Il capo era Berman, campione olimpico di sentimento boreale, anima girovaga, ebbra di sensazioni di frontiera, ovunque essa si estendesse, scrigno di ombre percussive e intuizioni desertiche.

Hank Snow

Share

Canadese, Hank Snow crebbe seguendo il fantasma di Jimmie Rodgers. Conosciuto anche come lo Yodeling Ranger, con la sua voce baritonale cantò disgrazie, passioni e momenti di levità. Con lo spettro della Grande Depressione sul groppone, sapeva raccontare con trasporto le facce nascoste dell'America, fatte di lavoro spaccaschiena, bevute leggendarie e stranezze, come la sua fissa per il mare. Come altri hanno detto di lui, era la voce della Nova Scotia. In tarda età vola a Nashville, dove abbraccia il successo. Negli anni '50 fu colui che presentò Elvis Presley al suo produttore storico, di non facciamo nome per rispetto a Snow, dopo averlo raccattato dalle bettole dove suonava per fargli aprire i suoi spettacoli al Grand Ole Opry. Muore prima dello scoccare del terzo millennio.

Mother Maybelle Carter

Share

La matriarca della famiglia Carter, Maybelle, nata Addington, il clan più importante del country, fu una delle voci più addolorate e potenti del genere. Musicante fin da piccola, passa dal banjo alla chitarra per giungere infine all'autoharp, strumento cordato da pizzicare più o meno dolcemente. Inventò l'eponimo Carter scratch, ovvero un modo di suonare la chitarra in fingerstyle col pollice, dove la melodia è suonata sulle corde dei bassi, in loop, specialmente nelle pause. Questa tecnica venne insegnata alla giovanissima Maybelle dal chitarrista blues Lesley Riddle.

The matriarch of the Carter family, Maybelle, née Addington, the most prominent clan in country music and americana, was one of the most grieving and powerful voices of the genre. A musician from an early age, she switched from banjo to guitar to finally reach autoharp, a stringed instrument to be plucked more or less gently. She invented the eponymous Carter scratch, that's a way of playing guitar with the thumb, where the melody is played on the bass strings, in loop, especially in the breaks. This technique was taught to the very young Maybelle by blues guitarist Lesley Riddle.

Don't blame Canada. Ecco la storia di tre fratelli e un quarto aggiunto in corsa, degli acchiappafantasmi, un quartetto che sonorizza le praterie a mezzanotte, quando le nere vacche pascolano nelle notti più nere del vuoto... Divagando, pensando al sole che per un giorno sciopererà.

The Highwaymen

Una tempesta di sabbia sull'orizzonte, un sole che caglia dietro, si apprezza l'effetto Tyndall. Si alza il velo: sono quattro cavalieri. Dove passano loro i batteri tornano a gemmare. Sono gli Highwaymen. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson e Willie Nelson. Un mucchio tenero e feroce.

A sandstorm on the horizon, the sun curdling behind, you can appreciate the Tyndall effect. The veil is lifted: there are four horsemen. Where they pass bacteria return to bud. They'e the Highwaymen. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. A sweet and fierce bunch.

Episodio 35: Stan Ridgway (and his wall of voodoo)

L'orizzonte trema: una fata morgana lo assilla, ritmata da una drum machine inaudita in quegli spazi. Il deserto è reale, il deserto è post-punk per partito preso. Un oratore plasma nell'aria storie nere, di guerra, di frontiera, pregne di fumo e squarci di luce storti. Un film invisibile, tedesco o americano d'anteguerra, o una ballata di bovari. Il sole si oscura, cala il buio, giunge la mezzanotte. Le campane sono state distrutte. Squilla solo il richiamo di un serpente a sonagli. Vibrano le false corde. Qualcuno ha impalato delle teste di bambola su dei paletti marci. L'espressione prima di tutto, poi le immagini. Contiene vitalismo.

  1. Call of the West – Wall of Voodoo
