The Sonic Bloom

Jan 21, 2021 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM

With Esoterica

The Sonic Bloom, your way.

From a Judy Collins popularized tune to Sweeping Promises, I really do feel like I have seen life from both sides, now. Join me as we explore music, life, etc.

Is that the sound of the reaper knocking on your door to collect your soul -- or Dale Crover hammering out another distinctive drum fill? There are pretty good odds it’s the latter; between 36 years (and about as many full-lengths and EPs) as drummer/bassist for the Melvins and his contributions to acts as varied as Altamont, Peeping Tom, Redd Kross, Shrinebuilder, and a little band called Nirvana, he’s built quite the body of work. In 2017, he added a proper solo album to his extensive catalog, The Fickle Finger of Fate. Now he’s followed that with Rat-A-Tat-Tat! Crover takes the solo thing seriously: he wrote the album while on the road and provided vocals, drums, guitars, vibraphone, and miscellaneous percussion. Just like the last album, recording took place over at Toshi Kasai’s Sound of Sirens Studio in beautiful Sun Valley, CA. Kasai recorded and mixed it again.

1:00 PM		Peter Ivers Scar Song Peter Ivers Take It Out On Me Epic/Legacy 2009 Ivers scored the 1977 David Lynch film Eraserhead, and also contributed both songwriting and vocals to the piece "In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)". From Recordcollector.com: recorded privately in 1971, Ivers pressing up five acetates, one of which was given to a friend who owned a record store. The album remained unreleased and, as the original masters were lost, the acetates were the only copies in existence. Decades later, the owner of the record store has relocated his copy and released this never-easy listening (but great-sounding) album. The amazing vocals are provided by Indian-born singer/ actress Asha Puthli, with Ivers responsible for the music, lyrics and harmonica. The other musicians are unknown, though.

1:18 PM		Country Joe & The Fish Bass Strings Country Joe & The Fish The Wave of Electrical Sound Craft Recordings 2013 Country Joe and the Fish came about as part political device, part necessity, and part entertainment. In the Fall of 1965, the remnants of the FSM (Free Speech Movement) on the Berkeley Campus were organizing a series of demonstrations against the war in Vietnam at the Oakland Induction Center. Drawing on the experience of the Civil Rights Movement, the anti-war organizers always provided entertainment either before or after the march — to hold people’s attention. This was the era of the Folk revival starting to turn into the San Francisco Rock Scene and “bands” were starting to appear all over the place.

I gave my answers in quotes Ha Ha

XTC Garden of Earthly Delights.

okay but what is Beatles or Stones - I am on a delay hahga

They give me 2 choices and i choose a third item not on the menu of their question

Mal: Long ago. Lunch time. Solids. Coffee is done

Where are those happy days, they seem so hard to find I try to reach for you but you have closed your mind Whatever happened to our love? I wish I understood It used to be so nice, it used to be so good So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S.O.S. The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S.O.S. When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try, how can I carry on?

i'd get off the floor, but it's so comfy and the kitchen isso far

i am drinking water and practicing breathing...

ABBA actually is very hi on list / SOS is one of the absolute all time greats

Beep it Eso

ABBA and ABBIE:)

all their stuff, i can't even with ABBA

music videos are tragicly bad tho

I am from Bristol, TN. No memorable bands came from there. Well maybe the Carter Family.

yes? i will have to check out their videos

hey, joey! welcomne. carter family is pretty cool

The Abba videos r actually great in a perverse way :)

I need coffee, is the real situation

dark roast? espresso?

Can you hear the drums Fernando I remember long ago another starry night like this In the firelight Fernando You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar I could hear the distant drums And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar They were closer now Fernando Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally I was so afraid Fernando We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die And I'm not ashamed to say The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry

Yes

aw, fernando

fernando!!

Fernando

man, I need something stronger than coffee to follow the chat tangents today, lol

yes mark, apt word for it, perverse. the hair styles, the light flares

i thought it was just me

fern and o

My rec: seek out Melvin & McDonalds interview - rollicking fun by PRBs version of terri gross :)

there's like 10 conversations at once

Most songs referencing rock the verb are about getting ready to rock or going to rock. Someone should write one "We are rocking right now in the present tense!"

this chat is rocking

They did some transmitter work a bit ago & it cleared in the signal quite a bit for me.

Changes with the seasons at my house. I started using an app on the tv in one room cuz of the static on fm

OMG are you ok there?

sometimes my arms bend back

You know what the transmitter work was ? mike L clued is into it !

The worst! If anyone deserves to never stub their toe, I'd place you high in the running

I'm not sure but it was off air a bit ago.

Be careful w that stubbed toe / u know what happened to Charlotte in LOst in Trans :)

they made it more transmittey

You want a toe dude? I'll get you a toe, hell I'll get you a toe by 3 o'clock, there are ways, believe be there are ways

Maybe 3 months ago they had it off air for work I think.

my toe is throbbing...but not bruised.

I survived Kidney Stones & Sepsis in 2017. Landed me in ICU for quite awhile though.

jeez louise, glad you are ok, vaughn

I read in “A Futile and Stupid Gesture: How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever” that Peter Ivers and Kenney were best buds in Harvard.

Yeah it's like, go to the doctors right? Everyone says that, then you get there and they're like you're fine just rest/ice etc..so hard to know when it's serious!

105° fever I was hallucinating

wow, david. and welcome! thanks for the tidbit

Damn VSH!

Don’t you have nine other toes?? You’ll be fine. I’m practically a real docturr.

I've heard women say kidney stones are worse than child birth..chat want to weigh in?

A 9mm stone infected my kidney & then bloodstream

I went down a Doug Kenney book rabbit hole last year. Loved that one and the one on the making of Caddyshack

Perception is the key to transformation. Reality is both subjective and malleable. If you dream a better world you can make a better world.

Texas Tornadoes

Just popping into say that bass strings track was amazing

Jetty Factorial was repping the electric organ well on her New Year's eve show

oh yeah, welcome, jerry:)

nice, bri

The Fish were underappreciated. It’s too bad most people only know them from the Woodstock documentary. By the time that movie came out, they’d broken up so it didn’t do them any good.

Los Super Seven

was she playing the organ?

Sir Douglass Sahm

No lots of songs that feature it it

yeah, i know, david. i agree

Oh me?

well, alright, jerry! someone on this chat said he could listen to SOTC all day

I'd enjoy your book club if you had one esoterica

The lecturer didn’t turn out to b a great lsd health advocate : died of brain cancer at 53 years old

Sign me up 📚

(it was me)

esoterica should have an entire life brand like Gwen Paltrow

🔥

haha, ookla

Damn mark, bummer there

poop, like goop, with a P

Haha like GOOP

haha

But haha! Yeah just don't make any candles

keep the exploding candles to a minimum tho

jeez, mark. sad

SoGod by Esoterica

I saw the actual Sir Douglas Quintet play for a small crowd (that included the A-Bones) at Maxwell’s on a weeknight in April 1990 ( I remember it as the same week that “Twin Peaks” premiered).

Yes dude : Dave played a couple weeks ago real funny lecture w music backing !

that is cool, david.

SoGod. Perfect, M

Ohh yeah I remember that mark it was awesome! And a fun chat

Anyone watch the twin peaks reboot ? Any good

interesting, mark. i just bought the books, habven't read them yet...but good chemistry is an lsd advocating book

1+1+1=4

Such a great scene Him menacing Kyle M

@Jerry mind = blown

There’s no evidence.

Crank it!

I’ve never ingested hallucinogens (when asked why, I reply “Syd Barret”), but I did read “LSD: My Problem Child” by Albert Hofmann, the Swiss chemist who invented the stuff. I also read Aldous Huxley’s pertinent books “The Doors of Perception” and “Heaven and Hell”.

Sucking polo mints now

The lower budgie... is a fine bird

Chad & Jeremy's career was never the same after Catwoman stole their voices, was it?

[Comments Redacted]

So many good albums.

we heard drumming coming form the garage

bob steeler

No way. Jorma still doing at 80.

steeler drummer from 1974-77...my pal's next door neighbor

Double Dose!

i chose it from the cartoon character :-\

aw, well, all the same, mr. m. thank you

DJ Esoterica, CHEERS! 🖤💀

Ha yeah good isn't it? They can do bowie pretty good too and maybe they writers of the cartoon were reggae heads!

crrrazy

thundarr the barbarian, never saw it

lots o' rabbit holes on this thread...

so many

🕳

post-Star wars cartoon space weirdness

looks like it:)

I first heard of Muddy Waters when I heard the Rolling Stones’ 1964 version of that 1948 song “I Can't Be Satisfied” (aka “Satisfaction Blues”). Do y’think that song might’ve inspired the title of a song the Stones wrote the following year, maybe?

Sometimes I get annoyed at people listening to the same old classic rock over and over again. Then I hear a song like "Manic Depression" and think, "Everyone should hear this song at least once a day!"

probably, david!

agreed, bud!

thundarr and the barbarian + psychedelic music made me think of Lothar and the Hand People

Fave cover band name was Coverboy. They did a great smattering of 80s

THE MAGNETIC FIELDS 💟

Love the MF

google Rockasteria if you want major dose of 60s/70s rock you never heard b4 ;)

Yes! Great blog

that blog expanded my world

thx, brian d! and ookla, i will check it out...

now im like "rolling stones who?"

i love the MF. saw them at union transfer.

I tried to find the comp mentioned in Serenade Jerry chat last week. No go

what comp was thta?

haha ookla

giggles

giggles and gibberish

U-Spaces Psychedelic Archaeology

good stuff

Getting back to the “Best of New Wave Theater” episode of USA’s Night Flight I saw roughly three decades ago, there’s something that has perplexed me ever since. What was the song that Fear sang? Did they ever release it on record?

Unnoficial release

hmm, i will check i tout, david. not recalling now

Let’s have a war,

I love living in the city!

that is a great song

there's so many of us

bri you need to work on your google skills http://60-70rock.blogspot.com/2016/01/psychedelic-archaeology-1-10.html

re: U-Spaces Psychedelic Archaeology looks great! just foundnit

There’s to many off us!

yes, correction TOO

We can start it in NJ.

yes

Wait what brought up fear?

It's neither of those songs, Corage Mike.

Another beer!

new wave theatre

Thanks I did not search long... i forgot all about checking the various blogspots as they got fewer n fewer over the years

Fear clips from SNL are awesome too.

now who suggested monolord last week, or brought them up?

Do you know the answer and this is a quiz or are we trying to figure it out?

looks like the dl links are still good

Monolord! Me!!!

will check it out...

Man there used to be about 40 blogspots i had bookmarked

Mike! Welcome back...

Yeah they wrecked that set lol, if you like saxophones!

And thx!

(Bubbling sounds come from attic or garage or basement...)

Cough....

Bong Song.

yup

Jack Brannon (Negative Approach, Laughing Hyenas, Easy Action) told me about Fear’s October 1981 SNL appearance. He was in the invited crowd that scared the producer into cutting to a commercial.

Hello! I think I heard you mention Zig Zags coming up as well:)

wow...wild, david

yes, mike!

zig zags coming up

I'm here for the zigs and the zags

And sounds like a killer story David

Have the Magnetic Fields ever played at Magnetic Fields in Brooklyn back in the 2000’s? I also wonder if B.B. King ever played at the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill on 42nd Street. Or if the Trammps ever played at Tramps on 22nd Street.

haha good point

Yes. No. Yes.

mr. m rock archivist

And liar.

And Joker.

david, why was the crowd so scary??

ok, haha

I’m certain, however, that the Clash have never played NJ’s recently closed Clash Bar!

haha

where was it?

Tim B!

r.i.p.

did you suggest last week, bri? i forget

U asking about the Fear Show on snl ? And it’s crowd?

yes i was

david was discussing

Yeah, I want all the deets

Lotta compeating punk factions in the crowd: DC / NYC / Boston it was pretty frightening from what I read

those crazy punks...mosh pit central?

It was belushi idea to have fear on / he learned of them thru ivers and his gf

oh yeah...i know harold ramis was a pal of ivers, too

Who was in the movie biz / u discussed her

Yup, he loved fear! How cool

There's footage of that show online

Actually ramis was a suspect at first !

lucy fisher

Re: Fear on SNL. It was 1981. Many didn’t understand this strange new music culture with its “slam dancing”. It wouldn’t have been such a big deal nowadays. Nobody foresaw that Fred Armisen would spoof the whole scene in his “Fist Fight in the Parking Lot" skit many years later!

yeah that is right, he was

LINDA RONSTADT ♥️

Belushi got in big fight on his last movie neighbors / wanted fear song to b closing track

The regional punk factions hated each other too

yup. thx, david! i should correct my "mosh pit" term...slam dancing is more historicaly accurate

Black Flag had the powered turned off at the first punk show we saw in 81, South River NJ club. There was true fear of punks.

yes, linda ronstadt, mr. m did you see that doc that came out two years ago, was it

Other infamous snl performances : replacements- very drunk & elvis costello when he switched the song

oh yeah great anecdotes, you guys! mark, mike, et al

I have it on blu ray. Too emo to watch it yet.

and david!

i get, mr. m

Weir everywhere

Watched a ronstadt show from 1977 the other day. Waddy Watchel on guitar.

like, bob? ookla?

that's cool, mike

Did you like it, Esoterica??

The SNL show with Fear (never repeated by NBC, I think) was John Belushi’s final appearance on the show--a silent cameo that lasted a few seconds before the opening credits. A few months later, he’d make his final TV appearance on the last Steve Martin special.

Quick quiz ; who was Linda Ronstadt famous husband ?

did you see that recent belushi doc. sad. he was armenian, too, right?

Stumped.

jerry brown

Some great stories about belushi just cameout in last Couple months

she only dated gov. moonbeam...hmmm

Boyfriend was Jerry Brown Govnr

we are onthe same wavelength

He smiles and never frowns.

The Belushis are Albanian, according to the movie "Wag the Dog".

Haha ur right never married him / only shacked up as they used to say in the old timey days :)

yes albanian, excuse me. his father seemed stern

How was that doc / what platform was it on ?

this chat is trending on the Twitter and chit such as

like twitch for radio

belushi doc was showtime

thx, tom

Yeah good doc

Albanian lunch counter: cheese burgers / no coke ... Pepsi- great skit !

that's it

Briefcase Full of Blues.

All I ever wanted was a Pepsi!

cheeboygee cheeboygee cheeboygee

Cheeseburgers Cheeseburgers Cheeseburgers

@Corage Mike It’s incredible that Black Flag played in South River! For a very brief time in 2006, someone tried booking cool shows at Hummer’s Tavern in that town. I saw the Meteors there.

Hahaha

Think the club had Rebel in its name. Then or at one time.

What year did black flag play ?

the meteors!

Must have been 81.

a good year

Started listening to PRB that year!

Damn this is a good playing

Sing that is

you like?

Y !!

Never heard of them !

it is a little dark in the beginning.

i think out of texas

Quite a conundrum about telling the truth... :)

yeah

Richie Furay is awesome. love his solo, love Poco, love Buff Spring

Thank you Esotericia!

oh yeah, ookla! thanks, mike!!

Hillman is no slouch either but ill take Gene Clark over him any day

Furry may be a pastor out here in Colorado.

Saw Hillman Bands in the late 70’s too.

oh yeah, ookla...is that true, mike?

Awards aren’t until April this year lotta time to get our requests in :)

yah Furay later solo stuff was religious'ish

I was going to church and playing guitar some with a guy how always talked about him doing so.

oscars in april?? i'll take it?

that is interesting, corage. mike

April of 2022 ??

what about SAG, golden globes, indepedent spirit awards? all being pushed back?

Sorry for the incoherent post. But you got it.

my middle name is incoherent. all good:)

Sorry for my incoherent gibberish posts. I didn’t even get ‘em.

Saw Poco open for America at Garden State Art center . One of my first concerts... 76?

love the gibberish - keep it coming!

that is awesome, corage mike

Not sure about golden globes etc : assume they pushed back too

poco better than toto? haha

Poco-Heart of the Night is my jam

America was really good. Thought they would be lame, Marshall Tucker was on the bill too.

A former bandmate of mine became a member of the current lineup of Poco about one month before the pandemic shut everything down. It's a lifelong dream of his, so needless to say, he's pretty depressed about not being able to play.

final fifteen mins !?!

This Hillage is great

america - now you're talking, home state, venture hwy

yes and yes, mr. m and bri!

ventura highway i meant of course!

bummer, bud

@Re: Phil Spector I’ve heard of Phil’s mistreatment of his wife Ronnie, how he’d prevent her from leaving their home sometimes. The Ronettes were an opening act on the Beatles’ last tour but Phil forbade her participation. What the hell did the Ronettes sound like without Ronnie?

wow, didn't know that! good point, david

What’s new pussy cat ?! Great 60s movie
