This radio hour covers portuguese guitar, primitive blues, French soundtracks, Argentine chorale music, West coast pop, British chamber pop, French impressionist, and Northern Soul, to name a few. I hope you like it; this one was 4 months in the making. I’d say this radio hour would be a good soundtrack to accompany the study of the anatomy of flight and bird migration patterns.

Down Down Down: The Music of Harry Nilsson

Snore & Guzzle Radio Hour #19

I’ve listened to a lot of Nilsson. Some might say too much. In fact, a couple people have declared a moratorium on his music due to my repeatedly plattering Harry Nilsson records. My copy of The Point looks like it has gone through the wash one too many times.

What is the allure? First and foremost, it’s his talent for melody and harmony. Harry Nilsson songs contain some of the most rhapsodically colorful melodies I’ve ever heard. It’s little wonder that the Beatles declared him their favorite American artist. At a press conference in 1968, John Lennon was asked to speak about his favorite American musician. He laconically said, “Nilsson.” Paul McCartney was then asked to name his favorite American band. He replied, “Nilsson.”

If Nilsson were only interesting for his melodies, his discography would not warrant an entire radio show. But Nilsson’s career only gets more interesting the closer you look at it. The name of Nilsson’s second album, “Aerial Ballet,” comes from an act his Swedish grandparents performed in the circus. I can only imagine that some of Harry’s vaudevillian style and vocal acrobatics were influenced by his heritage.

Nilsson’s career was characterized by wild swings of ups and downs. He started out the gate strong as a songwriter and attracted the attention of Phil Spector and The Monkees. As a solo artist, he had a string of hits in the late 60s and early 70s and racked up a serious level of acclaim. From there, things got loopy. It’s almost like he approached his career with kamikaze abandon. He pursued whatever styles he liked and approached showbusiness with a wicked sense of black humor and cynicism. That said, he simultaneously evinced a child-like playfulness, a quality that allowed him to contribute to films like Popeye, The Point, and Skidoo. It’s only fitting to Nilsson’s career that all of these films tanked. The soundtracks however, are — to me — some of the best vocal soundtracks produced in the 1970s.

I won’t go much further into Nilsson’s life and work, except to say it’s fascinating, and warrants a thorough and thoughtful biographical treatment. His relationship with John Lennon, Paul Williams, Randy Newman, Van Dyke Parks, Hollywood, women, and substance abuse all deserve a solid exploration.

Nilsson’s work has recently been revived by the likes of P.T. Andersen (clearly a fan), Jon Brion, Quentin Tarantino, Andrew Bird, Brian Wilson, and Aimee Mann. Nilsson left behind a scattered portfolio of demos, commercials, out-takes, and unreleased recordings–most of which are only just now beginning to be unearthed. For further research, I can recommend For the Love of Harry, which has lovingly and exhaustively assembled everything you would ever want to know about Harry Nilsson. For this podcast, I tried to sample at least one song from every one of his 15+ albums. To relieve ear fatigue, I introduced a few interpretive tracks where Nilsson is not singing, but either wrote the song, or contributed to its recording.

One of the most interesting themes in Nilsson’s career is the repeated motif of slow-motion descent. There are at least half a dozen Nilsson songs that introduce the idea of falling down into the depths, usually in an aquatic environment. It would appear that he was obsessed with this theme–even in The Point, you hear a very personal statement in his song Lifeline, even though it’s cloaked in the context of a children’s film…

Hello (Hello, Hello, Hello)
Won’t you throw me down a Life Line?
I’m so afraid of darkness,
And down here it’s just like night time.

Down,
And there isn’t any hope for me,
Unless this dream which seems so real,
Is just a fantasy.

A couple weeks ago, a kind reader of Snore & Guzzle named Carolyn dispatched a note detailing an experience she had at a small bookstore in Sarasota, Florida. Apparently, while browsing for books at said bookstore, she heard some music being piped through the store that caught her ear. After inquiring with the owner, she found out that it was Snore & Guzzle Radio Hour #14. The specific song that she found so compelling was White Hinterland’s “Dreaming of Plum Trees.” White Hinterland is Casey Dienel and Shawn Creeden — friends and neighbors of mine in Portland, Oregon — and one would be smart if they checked out their albums.

I’m pleased to know that a bookstore in a town where I know not a soul, nor have ever visited, is playing a radio program that I sequenced. And so, for this month’s edition, I’ve made a program dedicated to the patrons and proprietors of Sarasota News & Books. This is music for browsing books in a small, independent book store. The selections are drawn from a bevy of crates and I can’t really draw any particularly theme from this melange. The mix is kinda all over the place — you’ll hear Danish psyche, visionary new classical, 50s child pop, Indian brass band music, Italian rock & roll, Nambian dance music and a Japanese cover song of a certain American rap song, done in a bossa-nova style. I’d like to point out track #11, which has one of the most compelling titles I’ve ever come across: A lady Picking Tea Leaves with a Rhodedendrum Flower in her Hair by Krishna Das and the Modern Light Music Brass Band — the song is sourced from a college text book about brass bands. Support your local booksellers!

1. Secret Song # 1
2. The Books – The Lemon of Pink
3. Jon Brion – Healthy Choice
4. Patience & Prudence – Tonight you belong to me
5. Lullatone – Stars On The Ceiling Of A Planetarium
6. Secret Song #2
7. Kurt Vile – Songs for John in D
8. Michael Small – Goldfarb Fantasy Michael Small
9. Terry Riley – Premonition Rag
10. Kevin Ayers – May I?
11. Krishna Das and the Modern Light Music Brass Band – A lady Picking Tea Leaves with a Rhodedendrum Flower in her Hair
12. Mavula Badouin – Mbila Na Biso
13. Ella Jenkins – Yellow Bird
14. Loudon Wainright III – Glenville Reel
15. Howe Gelb – My Grandfather’s Clock
16. Cowboy – Shoestrings
17. Gnags – Der Er Sa Meget
18. The Rokes – Lascia l’ultimo ballo per me
19 . Mice Parade – Headphoneland in the School of Old
20. Department of Eagles – Teenagers

“In times that are not ordinary / I’m not gonna die in 4/4 time”

~Louis Hardin

This entire podcast is an homage to the blind street busker, Louis Hardin, known to the music world as Moondog. Consider it an introduction, or a work in progress. There are many rare recordings that I’m still trying to assemble. If anyone has the record that he did with Julie Andrews, please contact me. The sequencing here starts in rolling hills, dips down into tranquility, then soars back up to majestic and bombastic heights…be prepared. More on the life of this man coming soon.

A special post highlighting a pet project of Nicholas Gurewitch, the man behind the Perry Bible Fellowship. This particular pet has been groomed for a long time now, and is only now emerging for the show room.

Nick is an artist-chameleon extraordinaire, and has adapted the persona’s of Robert Crumb, Shel Silverstein and Edward Gorey. Now he has taken the cloak of yet another, this time in a medium outside of his typical graphic arts.

Since Bottle Rocket, the soundtracks in Wes Anderson films have both enchanted listeners and raised eyebrows in skepticism. Some believe that his music overpowers his scenes, and force feeds emotions on the audience. Others feel that they endow a sense of magic within his stories. Either way, Mr. Anderson has etched himself a musical signature that is immediately recognizable in the world of film soundtracks. Enlisting the help of Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo, Rugrats) and music geek Randall Poster, Anderson’s soundtracks have evolved into a signature taste. On the face of things, his selections don’t seem much more inspired than your garden-variety college free-form DJ’s selections: Velvet Underground, Rolling Stones, The Kinks and Cat Stevens. But I suppose it’s the application that counts. And count it does. Recall Richie Tenenbaum’s love-struck face as Margot exits the bus accompanied by Nico’s (Jackson Brown penned) These Days. Cue slow motion.

It’s an unforgettably romantic scene.

So now, Wes is four films deep. What’s going to happen next?

Enter Nick Gurewitch. Here we have a speculation on the soundtrack for the next Wes Anderson film. It’s entirely fiction, but yet so plausible.

Here’s a little interview I did with Nick explaining what this is all about.

MN: What is the story of The Cloud Photographers? Who stars?

NG: The Cloud Photographers is mainly about the trials of a de-revolutionary group called “R.A.M.R.A.T” – The Royal Association for the Militant Reclamation of American Territories. It stars Alec Guiness as a senile ex-war general.

MN: How did you formulate the track sequencing? Are there any specific scenes that you envision accompanied by a specific song?

NG: For some reason I envisioned “Andrew’s Waltz”, performed by Squirrel Nut Zippers’ Maxwell and Mosher, happening over the opening credits. Probably over a photo album featuring the cast. Now that I think of it, I think I positioned all the tracks in filmic sequence. Especially the climactic ones toward the end.

MN: How would you characterize a song that has an Anderson-esque feel to ti?

NG: Anderson music has a lot of whimsy to it. It’s also almost always kind of trapped in a specific bygone era- like a lot of his characters. Often very fancy, with a high or fantastical ideal. Music from the British invasion is a touchstone in his films. That kind of angst. It might have something to do with the British loss of dignity over the years- coping with that. Royal Tennenbaum is a good example of that; a king who’s lost its crown. This probably, now that I think of it, definitely contributed to the idea of the RAMRAT organization.

I’m most pleased with the tracks on this album that combine British pop music with classical elements. There are a couple of them that are just drenched with the feel of his films.

MN: What was involved in assembling this project and how long did it take?

NG: Well, you helped me with a lot of it. You clued me into some great tracks- like the Mike Berry song, which sounds like its right out of Rushmore. The project ended up taking a really long time because I kept hearing music that I thought would make a great addition, and it kept me postponing the final track listing.

I came up with the idea for a CD mix club about 2 years ago. I’m 2 years late with actually sharing it with the members of the CD club. I’ll do that soon, hopefully.

The Radio Hour for this month is all (with the exception of a single song) Brazilian bossa nova music from 1958 to roughly, 1970. I wish there was a better phrase than “bossa nova” to describe this music. The word has become so corrupted, that for most people living in North America, the mention of bossa nova suggests high schmaltz, slick lounge, fluorescent drinks and exotic ladies wearing fruit basket hats. The original music however, had nothing to do with any of this. In fact, it was the antithesis.

Bossa Nova became an international phenomenon in the mid 1960s, and projected an image of Brazil to the world as a lush, happy-go-lucky, tropical wonderland. However, the country was anything but. The three milestone commercial bossa nova releases were, the soundtrack Black Orpheus (1959), by Luiz Bonfa and Antonio Carlos Jobim, the recording of “The Girl from Ipanema” in 1964, by Astrud Gilberto, and the Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim album, released in 1967 (essentially marking the end of an era). None of these recordings have been included on the radio show.

The tropicalia movement that came to rise in the late 60s was a strong reaction against the perception of Brazil as an equatorial disneyland. The term “tropicalia” – although it sounds like it’s embracing the Western idea of Brazilian culture – is actually a strong rejection thereof. It’s mocking itself.

Americans have been exposed to Brazilian music with tepid and watered-down major studio recordings, often using pre-established state-side musicians to prime the commercial potential. Most of the bossa nova records distributed in the United States were tainted by one of three things: 1) the English language 2) Stan Getz’ saxophone, or 3) heavy orchestral arrangements, a la Frank Sinatra. Authentic bossa nova is more like Swiss graphic design, or modernist architecture — it is understated, minimal, and more about the negative space than anything else.

The Portuguese language is as crucial to the music as any of the instruments in its standard repertoire. The language shapes the body of the music, and the body of bossa nova is soft, sweet and as light as a summer dress. Portuguese — and specifically Brazilian Portuguese, as opposed to European — is perfectly suited to this style. It’s a language that takes place on the lips. Very few words require guttural sounds. Phonetically speaking, the language is flush with soft consonants, frequent shh sounds, and word endings that often dissolve rather than snap. It also lends itself to whispering without losing semantic integrity. A good example of this in practice is João Gilberto’s “Hô-bá-lá-lá.” Gilberto sings the phrase “Hô-bá-lá-lá” — which is an onomatopoeia for a beating heart — in a near whisper and with a lilting and mellifluous touch. Like the best love songs, Gilberto’s interpretation is understated and de-dramatizes the lyrics. In short, bossa nova is not the same when sung in any language other than Portuguese. Can you imagine a Germanic language interpreting a bossa nova song?

João Gilberto – Hô-bá-lá-lá

The radio show begins with Orlando Silva, who João Gilberto consistently cites as his single biggest influence. Silva is not bossa nova, but proto-bossa nova. He was a crooner that recorded in the 30s, 40s and early 50s. The show ends with Caetano Veloso, who consistently cites João Gilberto as his biggest influence. Veloso has been quoted as saying, “When I first heard João Gilberto, I had the desire to make music.” And further described him as, “…madder than the mad, and more lucid than the sane; that seducer who enchanted so thoroughly without possessing a drop of glamour; that artist who proved himself even more the artist when he was not practicing his art…” The first album Caetano Veloso released, along with Gal Costa, is highly derivative of Gilberto’s sound. The first wave of bossa nova musicians were deeply influenced by American jazz. Musicians like Nat King Cole, Barney Kessel, Bing Crosby, Julie London and — especially — Frank Sinatra. There was a Brazilian word that referred to these type of musicians, and it roughly translated to “pillow-voices.”

João Gilberto is singlehandedly the artist most responsible for crafting the sound of bossa nova. He fashioned a rhythm that is as distinctive as the Bo Diddley beat. The bossa rhythm has become synonymous with his name, although bossa nova also refers to the Brazilian new wave at large, and encompasses new jazz and samba forms. Gilberto was an audiophile and an eccentric, who often practiced in a tile lined bathroom because of its acoustics. Later in his career, he would frequently refuse to play if the p.a. system wasn’t up to his standards. Caetano Veloso described his contribution like so: “What João Gilberto proposed was a deeply penetrating and highly personal interpretation of the spirit of samba. He did this through a mechanically simple but musically challenging guitar beat that suggested an infinite variety of subtle ways to make the vocal phrasing swing over a harmony of chords progressing in fluent equilibrium.”

Gilberto worked with Stan Getz, and his wife Astrud, to create some of the most commercially successful bossa nova records of all time. However, many sources say that he didn’t get along with Getz, and often spoke about him nastily in the studio (using Portuguese). Gilberto’s career started in earnest around 1958, but his recordings only got better with time. He released my personal favorite album in 1973, which was simply self-titled. Slipcue.com has a wonderfully articulate description of this album:

“Joao’s ‘white album’ — a hauntingly sparse, beautiful, and quite ethereal recording. Upon sober reflection (and countless hours spent listening to it), I think I can quite comfortably say that I think this is the single greatest bossa nova album ever recorded. Gilberto is gentle and graceful beyond the reach of practically any other musician alive, and this record is a masterpiece. It includes revamped acoustic takes on several bossa nova and pre-bossa oldies, along with newer material such as his lullaby for his daughter, Bebel, and one song each by the upstart tropicalistas, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Gilberto sings barely at a whisper, while his percussionist is the absolute model of restraint and economy.”

Also worth mentioning is a short lived Brazilian record label – Elenco Records. Elenco was active from 1963 to 1968, and started by Aloysio de Oliveira. Elenco was essentially an independent label and recorded some of the most influential bossa nova musicians, including: Sylvia Telles, Edu Lobo, Nara Leão, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes, Baden Powell, Maria Bethânia, Dorival Caymmi, Sergio Mendes, Maysa and Roberto Menescal. Elenco is also worth mentioning for their distinctive design sensibility. Their record covers consistently had the same look, defined by high contrast black and white photographs, counterpointed by illustrations in bright red. The clean and disciplined design was a perfect complement to the music it was representing. My personal favorite is this Nara Leao cover. (you can purchase a print in the store)

Footnote: Nara Leao straddled the bossa nova movement and the tropicalia movement. She held an impromptu salon in her parent’s house in the early days, and later associated with tropicalismo. She was sometimes referred to as “the muse of bossa nova,” although she later rejected that notion, and the movement altogether. Full disclosure: I have an unabashed infatuation with Nara Leao. Miss Leao will get her due from me at a later date, possibly as a book or article. By that same token, at some point in the future, I’d like to develop a more specialized and well developed piece on Brazilian music from the bossa nova era, but in the meantime, this will have to do.

The radio show this time around is something of an homage to the band Broadcast. But not featuring songs by the band itself – rather, bands they like and have been influenced by. I started getting interested in the lineage of Broadcast because I happened upon a set of 4 radio shows they had done for their website. There was a set list on the page, but none of the files actually worked. The set list was intriguingly esoteric, so I embarked on a wee more research.

I’ve read a couple interviews with the band, but nothing has been terribly illuminating about their personalities or process. However, their radio shows proved to be a rosetta stone to their records. My radio show (or podcast, or whatever you want to call it) is an amalgam of songs they’ve referenced, and songs that I just thought fit well.

Broadcast’s tastes cover lounge, exotica, 60s garage, psyche, New York noise, early tape and electronic music (a la Princeton electronic music center), new classical (Ives, Partch), soundtracks (mostly Italian), krautrock, moog records, Miami bass, space jazz and — most importantly — library music, especially French library music. If you’ve never heard the term, library music is just music that was intended as mood-setters for film and television, not for the record buying public. Library music is generally considered ephemera, but has found a small, devoted group of listeners. Among them: Stereolab, Tipsy, Beck, Cornelius, Matmos, (to some extent) the Beastie Boys, and more recently, James Pants. Luke Vibert curated an album of library music, called Luke Vibert’s “Nuggets,” which is a pretty good introduction to the genre (if you can call it that).

As a vocalist, Trish Keenan falls somewhere between Francoise Hardy, Vashti Bunyan and Nico. It’s icy, uninflected and borderline detached. But it’s the perfect complement for their sound. If you look at a wave form of one of their songs, her voice looks clean as a sine wave, and weaves in and out of the accompanying fuzzy analog noise and beats.

As DJs and connoisseurs, Broadcast clearly place a premium on that which is rarified. When asked by The Guardian UK if Broadcast had time for “more conventional canon of rock and pop,” Tim Fenton (the band’s original guitarist) replied, “Those bands go without saying for us. We love the Velvet Underground, but we also knew that we couldn’t do anything that interesting by using that influence. It would become a burden. We benefit from letting things into our life that we didn’t know about before.”

And this is why you won’t see any Velvet Underground, Nico, Can, Neu or Kraftwerk on this podcast. They go without saying. Bassist and founder James Cargill cited United States of America as the “main inspiration for the band.” The short-lived LA psyche band (1967-8) are the perfect template for Broadcast. It’s as if Broadcast is United States of America re-incarnate. And they just picked up where the original band left off. Which is a good thing, considering United States of America only made one album.

An important collaborator of Broadcast is Julian House, who is their resident graphic designer, occasional live DJ, and also a musician in his own right. As a musician, he goes by the name of the Focus Group. It appears as though House is the resident graphic designer of Ghost Box records, and his signature look owes a great deal to the European library records of the 60s and 70s. Songs by the Focus Group bookend this podcast.

I saw Broadcast perform live in 2004, in Scotland. It was a fairly intimate crowd, and the performance was supplemented by three 16mm projectors playing old science classroom films. It was not unlike how I imagine Andy Warhol’s projections were with the Velvet Underground, with the band partially bathed in the projected light. Cargill had this to say about the visuals: “All the imagery is collected from car-boot sales and stuff, it’s all kind of old science imagery and stuff. I just like the way it looks. We’re not sort of saying ‘oh isn’t this funny kind of imagery kitsch’ you know, we genuinely like the mood of it when we’re playing.”

The Radio Show this month covers a number 60s pop producers: Joe Meek, Phil Spector, Lee Hazlewood, Curt Boettcher, Mickie Most, and then pursues some of those influences outside of its origins in the United States and the British Isles. The thread is pretty loose: French pop, Brazilian pop, South African jive, but most songs have something unusual about them that makes them transcend the time period from which they were borne. It starts out with an early Phil Spector song, and ends with one of his last decent productions, with the Ramones. I tried hunting down the notorious sessions he did with Celine Dion (!), but it looks like they haven’t leaked just yet. Spector, however is still planning on releasing them, and sent the following statement to the press: “Should you wish to hear the amazing and historic recordings I made with Ms. Dion, have no fear. . . . Since I paid for them and own them, I am planning to release them on my label, for the entire world to hear, and compare . . . to her current recordings, or whatever you call those things they’ve released with her.”

And in the same vein as the Phil Spector production fanatacism, there are a few tracks that have unique productions. The 4th track, by the Royal Players (who released a single 78 rpm record), was recorded acoustically in a church (not unlike something Jack Nitzsche once did).
