JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 22

Hang on wait is this 7 hours of Sister Ray!? This is even more Ray than Steve Irwin done got.

SISTER RAY PODCAST HERE

(mystery extract)

Who

knows where this is from? It may even be elsewhere on this mix. Who can say?

Bootlegs throw up funny things like this. They are also of, ahem, variable

audio quality.

The Gymnasium, NYC, April 7 or 8, 1967

The

song's about a year old now, having been trotted out in the summer of '66

according to a setlist, but they say this is the earliest recording. The

Gymnasium, incidentally, was a real gymnasium that Andy thought was cool. The

bootleg of this whole(?) show is really great. The Velvets are starting to form

their Andy-less identity as a hard rock'n'rolling dance band.

LP, NYC, mid-September, 1967 - alternate mix

Famously,

they did one take, with everything turned to 11. Masses of leakage. But no

bass.

LP - Swan mix

There

was a random compilation in the early 70s I think it was, with an ugly

four-headed swan cover (and Lou billed separately)  and the songs remixed (or at least remastered). "Sister

Ray" and "Lady Godiva's Operation" are strikingly different.

LP - stereo

Actually,

Moe says they did maybe two takes. And she was pissed that Tom Wilson forgot to

turn on some of the mics, so there's no rimshot after Lou says "Who's that

knocking at my chamber door?".

There's

a mono version too, but I think this'll do.

The

Velvets really liked to play the BTP. This is their third weekend there of

1967, and it would be their home away from home during a three-year

more-or-less boycott of New York. They built an enthusiastic local following, including

one J.Richman, who talked his way into opening for them a couple of times.

This

is the only time Andy went up there, with Paul Morrissey, and did the whole EPI

thing. They shot a film at these shows, whence this audio, so it's rated A for

Andy.

Sweet Sister Ray, La Cave, Cleveland, April 30, 1968

"Sister

Ray" now has a part 1, apparently played quite a few times, as a lengthy,

blissful workout before launching into the main bit. But there's only this one

recording; and there's no recording of the slightly later part 3, "Sweet

Rock'n'Roll", which got trotted out on a couple of occasions, by repute,

heavier even than part 2. Actually, there was a recording in San Diego, but the

tape got stolen right after the gig. The Velvets really did play a lot of

shows, it's usually overlooked, and were a cooking band always ready to work up

and rework their songs on stage, which is one reason the bootlegs are so

important. And they liked to play for a long time.

Also,

it may be worth mentioning at this point that one of the reasons they sound so

awesome is that for quite a stretch of the earlier days, after the Ostrich

guitar got nicked, Lou was playing a 12-string Gretsch Country Gentleman with

added preamp, speed, stereo and tremolo controls (and Fender pickups, and maybe

an echo unit as well - Lou ended by fucking it up adding too much junk, and the

guy who originally built for him wouldn' speak to him for a year; also, the

band early managed to score endorsement deals on amps from Vox, then later Sunn;

and Sterling and John would play with whatever effecgts pedals they could lay

thier hands on.) Anyway, they say that at this point Lou could play 16 notes at

once, and if that's not awesome I don't know what is.

(not) Poor Richard's, Chicago, June-July, 1966 (excerpt)

Sad

to say, there's also very few recordings of John Cale playing on this song live

("Sweet Sister Ray" is the last one). This is not actually the first,

tho it'd be cool if it were. The Poor Richard's stint marks the first time a

song called "Searching" appears on an extant setlist. Sterl says it

was still an instrumental jam at this point. Ingrid Superstar said it sounded

like 12 million guitars and hurt her eardrums. Lou wasn't even there. It might

be, in fact, that the song was mostly cooked up without him; apparently it only

started to come together at this residency.

After

a busy first half of the year, Nico goes to Ibiza for the summer, Lou goes to

hospital with hepatitis (not for the last time), and John, Sterl, Moe, and the

whole EPI crowd set up shop in Chicago (also appearing at the Playboy Club).

Actually, Andy didn't want to go either, so Ingrid played him in a

strawberry-blonde wig. They seem to have no problem without Lou, and re-recruit

percussionist-poet Angus MacLise, the original drummer. Moe plays bass. In

fact, they go over so well the stay is extended by a week.

This

is totally not MacLise drumming. I can't remember where this snippet came from,

nor the justification for its attribution. It too is probably nestled elsewhere

in this mix.

La Cave, Cleveland, October 4-6, 1968

John's

kicked out in September. Doug Yule is recruited rather randomly and within two

days is on the road. The Velvets also play La Cave quite frequently and, as in

Boston, could draw a good crowd enthusiastically familiar with the songs.

Whatever the impact of the Cale/Yule swap, these two venues as much as anything

else contribute to the Velvets' transformation from art noise to the

"dance band from Long Island" as Lou would occasionally describe

them.. Yule comports himself remarkably well.

Music Hall, Cleveland, December 1, 1968

Boston Tea Party, December 12, 1968

Boston Tea Party, January 10, 1969

La Cave, Cleveland, January 31, 1969

There's

a few other gigs in between these, but none seem to have been bootlegged.

Sister Ray is well-established as the set-closing rave-up by now, and Yule has

settled right in. Best of all, Lou starts around now throwing in lyrics from

"The Murder Mystery", which he'll do again from time to time. They

never attempt the whole song live. Sterl said it was too hard.

Boston Tea Party, March 13, 1969

A

rare rundown of the characters from Lou (which you can't really hear). They are

playing this right after "Jesus".

Boston Tea Party, March 15, 1969 - Guitar Amp

That

was Thursday and this is Saturday, and some enterprising fan puts a tape

recorder right inside Lou's amp. This whole boot is one of my favourite

recordings ever. Interestingly, it's not even all that helpful in determining

which guitar is which on other recordings. That's really one of the many great

things about the band, that the guitars weave together so beautifully that one

ceases to care quite quickly who is playing what.Tho it's nice to know here.

Washington University, St Louis, May 11, 1969

Despite

the fact that even for those who wanted it, the recent LP (third) is really

hard to get a hold of all over, a couple of thousand people turned up to this

gig, to everyone's surprise. Perhaps this got Lou feeling playful, since

"Foggy Notion" makes a neat cameo. Robert Quine taped it, as he would

several other shows this year, before going on to shred guitar for Richard Hell

and for Lou himself.

Boston Tea Party, July 11, 1969

End of Cole, Dallas, October 19, 1969

The

Velvets played six nights on the trot here, apparently cos the rich kid owner

was a fan. Two of the shows were recorded, rumour has it by an actual audio

engineer, and this is where much of Live 1969 comes from. Sterl incidentally

was a bit sniffy about that album cos he said the club was small - they would

take this into account (to an extent) in arrangements and volume - but were at

their best when they really felt free to let rip (obvs). Nonetheless, this is a

particularly good rendition.

The Family Dog, SF, November 7, 1969

The Matrix, SF, November 26 or 27, 1969

Although

the Velvets famously didn't get on with California (Bill Graham and Frank Zappa

in particular) on their 1966 visit, they seemed happy enough to go back quite

often. They had also played the Matrix the weekend between these two shows. It

was another small club - capacity 100, but with a four-track hooked up to the

soundboard. It was pressed into action for four sets over two nights of this

stay (Quine also recorded some of the shows on his portable Sony; the Family

Dog one previous is his too). Some of the Matrix soundboard cuts from the 19th

got official releases (from hasty two-track mixdowns), but the whole set of

tapes finally surfaced not long ago and it's absolutely stellar.

Second Fret,Philadelphia, January 3, 1970

This

is actually a bit of a damp squib on which to end, but it seems to be the last

recorded version - less than two weeks later she's vanished from all four

setlists at the Quiet Knight in Chicago and (thankfully) doesn't appear on the

Max's tapes from the summer. 

The

Velvets are well-liked in Philly too, playing several times in this small club

for which 200 was a definite squeeze. Here they're ending a ten-night stand

that began on Christmas Day. But they are already showing signs of chilling out

from their great '68-'69 run: another period of transition (i.e. The End).

Moe's

on pregnancy leave by April, and doesn't appear on Loaded at all, nor at

the Max's summer residency. "Sister Ray" is well out of the set by

the latter, tho for my money, without Moe it's no longer really the Velvet

Underground at all. And the less said about the post-Lou band the better.

There's a couple of live renditions from that era (now only Moe remains) but I

am unlikely ever to listen to them.

My

obsession with the Velvets has been enabled by many things, first and foremost The

Velvet Underground Handbook  by

M.C. Kostek (Hyperion, 1992), a bible for years until superceded by the

remarkable http://olivier.landemaine.free.fr/vu/;

and most recently White Light/White Heat: The Velvet Underground day-by-day

by Richie Unterberger (Jawbone, 2009) which I feel like an idiot for taking so

long to getting around to read, for it really is the last word. Amazing, and

not really for the casual fan.

JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 21

The United States of President America Election Special

As the Junior Aspirin Records label HQ moves its operations to a remote and heavily-fortified anarcho-syndicalist commune in the Pacific Northwest in anticipation of the total collapse of civic society after the 8 November election, label co-founder, writer and editor Dan Fox has made a rare trip into the city, finding time in his busy urban guerilla warfare training schedule to pop into SoHo, do a little shopping, and rig the US presidential election for this post-pre-post-truth liberal media elite conspiracy-thon. From Dead Kennedys to The Shangri-Las, from ABBA to Jay-Z, a caucus of paranoid political pundits, so desperate to be on the winning side that they'd baste their Grandmas in orange sun-tan lotion just to get ahead, will leak their most criminally top secret emails about the most tremendous electorial issues of the moment. So gather together your favourite tiny-fingered, Cheeto-faced, ferret-wearing shitgibbons and take this opportunity to grope inside America whilst you enjoy the last few weeks of electricity and running water before the pitchforks come out and the briefcase containing the nuclear codes is lost forever at JFK baggage claim. Send in the clowns!

JUNIOR ASPIRIN RADIO SESSION 20

THE BREXPOD

Having relocated our production facilities to a heavily fortified and luxury redoubt deep in the Scottish highlands, Junior Aspirin Records presents The Brexpod: a balanced, neutral and wholly unbiased reflection on the misery and hopelessness inflicted on the United Kingdom by the cowardly, venal, xenophobic, meretricious, mendacious, over-privileged turdworms who, on 23rd June 2016, paddled the country up Bullxit creek and left us in a Euromess without so much as a bratwurst or baguette to gnaw on. From the country that brought you sterling classics such as The Restoration, Luddism, Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher, the invention of the machine gun, and the colonial subjugation of countries across the globe, the Brexpod is a three-hour epic told in broken English, and featuring Cotswold-stone-cold hits including 'Turd on the Run' by The Rolling Stones (feat. Boris Johnson) and 'Aftermath' by Tricky (feat. Nigel Farage vs. Jean-Claude Juncker). So when the clocks strike half-past France, and the stormy weather hits the pound, forget the summer beach holiday in Greece and thank The Village Green Preservation Society that you will have to learn to love Llandudno again. Kick back with the last remaining bottle of Chianti in England, finish off the tapas, complete your Irish passport application and let the Brexpod remind you and me, the perma-peasantry, that this is how it feels to be lonely.

"Things in their alleged places. Things where they think they should be, where they prefer to be. All of the things, just where they are. Things with things of their own. Things obeying no rules, following no orders, filling no prescriptions, looking nowhere for directives. Things with no agendas, no platforms, no purpose. A thing for everything and everything every place, Each and every thing, all over the place. Something, something else, and something else entirely. All together, all the things together make everything there is. And this too, this thing here, is also a thing. This thing is a part of everything else but it doesnt belong to anything. This is simply another additional thing that exists along with all the other things. And that's all there is to it. That's it."

PODCAST HERE

It was late.
Wind howled through the dark outside the windows of the Novotel Krakow Centrum. The four men had been locked for nine days in the hotel's Pope John Paul II Honeymoon Suite, surviving on a diet of lager and garage-bought sandwiches, delivered to them every hour by a silent seven-foot-tall thug known only as Tadeusz. The absurdist theatre sessions the men had been subjected to by their captors had become steadily less frequent. The men had proved resilient, but – exhausted by nonsensical language games, atonal tuba music and dizzying non-linear narratives -  hope was beginning to ebb. Mellors was tending a head wound Cooke had sustained during one of the more brutal theatre sessions, when a surrealist mime act had unexpectedly exploded in his face. Chateigné Tytelman was by the window, gazing despondently at the blizzard enveloping the city beyond the walls of their gilded cage. Normand, slumped across an antique chaise-longue, stared at the pile of empty Zywiec cans in the centre of the room, each one a stinging reminder of how long they'd been prisoners of their mysterious kidnappers.
Unsure whether they would ever see their homes again, conversation naturally turned to pop music. Chateigné Tytelman and Normand wistfully exchanged names of leading French rock musicians. Guy Skornik. Popera Cosmic. Magma. "Remember Pierre Henry & Michel Colombier's Teen Tonic?" asked Chateigné Tytelman. "Of course." responded Normand. "And what I'd give to hear LSD!  by Jean-Christophe Averty again…" Mellors tried to join the conversation. "I like Serge Gainsbourg a lot." The two Frenchmen fell silent. Realising that this was no time for musical one-upmanship, they humoured him, but Mellors could tell he was in over his head.
"Look chaps, if we ever happen to get out of this place, would you do me a favour?"
"Of course. Anything, my friend." replied Normand.
Mellors continued. "You see, the thing is … well … I feel somewhat struck by what I can only describe as … an abject, almost Bataillan, feeling of non-knowledge about all this French pop you're discussing. It's embarrassing, I know. I was only ever taught The Beatles at school, although I picked up a bit of Francoise Hardy along the way. Cooke here had a better education and knows a little Jean-Michel Jarre, but really, we need your help. We feel like such fools being able only to name MC Solaar as the one French rapper we know. But I have an idea. Back home, Me, Cooke, and another pal of ours by the name of Fox – god knows where he is, though last I heard he was on some top secret mission in the US – run this little record label thing. Nothing flashy you understand, but we like to call it Junior Aspirin Records. If – no, when, dammit, when – you get back to Paris and Geneva, would you mind awfully putting together an expository podcast for JAR? Something the boys can use to better acquaint themselves with the riches of your pop music tradition? It would mean the world to us, it really would. And maybe, just maybe, it could help herald a new era. One in which children, in schools up and down the country, need never again have to listen to the Rolling Stones or The Kinks, but rather, grow to be men and women of the world, pioneers of a new musical entente cordiale… It's a silly dream, I know, but … well, to blazes with being sensible. Let's try and change the world. One 70s prog rock classic at a time."
"We know someone." said Chateigné Tytelman. "She goes by the name of Blanc. Her knowledge of the field is unsurpassed. We will enlist Blanc's help. Together with my expertise, and Normand's technical skills, we can do this for you Mellors. For you. For Cooke. For everyone." Chateigné Tytelman and Normand stood. Cooke wiped a tear from his eyes. The Frenchmen nodded in silent assent, and the four prisoners shook hands.
Now, all that was between them and Serge Bulot's Ballade pour Suzanne was that jailor thug Tadeusz. As they heard the brute's heavy feet approach the door of their room, the men knew what they needed to do…
