Frank Zappa - Flower Punk

[based on Hey Joe (Roberts)]
[includes a quote from Wild Thing (Taylor)]
[the 1984 re-mix also includes a quote from My Sharona (Fieger/Averre)]

Hey Punk, where you goin' with that flower in your hand?
Hey Punk, where you goin' with that flower in your hand?

Well, I'm goin' up to Frisco to join a psychedelic band.

Hey Punk, where you goin' with that button on your shirt?
Hey Punk, where you goin' with that button on your shirt?

I'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play my bongos in the dirt.
Yes, I'm goin' to the love-in to sit & play my bongos in the dirt.

Hey Punk, where you goin' with that hair on your head?

I'm goin' to the dance to get some action, then I'm goin' home to bed.

Hey Punk, where you goin' with those beads around your neck?
Hey Punk, where you goin' with those beads around your neck?

I'm goin' to the shrink so he can help me be a nervous wreck . . .

Hey Punk!
Punky!
Hey Punk!
Punk!
Hey Punk!
(Hey Punk!)
Hey Punk!
Hey Punk!
Punky!
(Hey Punk!)
Hey-hey!
(Hey Punk!)
Go man, go . . . go man, go . . .
. . . Soft gun . . .
Golly, do I ever have a lot of soul?
Punk, I think I love you!
Come on, Roy
Questi dominga?
Let me see that nose, it didn't . . .
I wanna know for sure!
Leave my nose alone please!
What are you trying to do?
It's him over there
Longa!
Tic Tac!

FZ? on the left:
It's one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me
You know, every time I think about how lucky I am to be in the rock & roll industry, it's SO exciting. You know, when I first got into the rock & roll business I could barely even play the changes to this song on my, on my guitar. But now I'm very proficient at it, I can play the guitar, I can strum it rhythmically, I can sing along with my guitar as I strum. I can strum, sing, dance, I can make merry fun all over the stage. And you know, it's so wonderful to . . . It's wonderful to feel that I'm doing something for the kids, because I know that the kids and their music are where it's at. The youth of America today is so wonderful . . .
And I'm proud to be a part of this gigantic mass reception. I hope she sees me twirling, yes . . . I hope she sees me dancing and twirling, I will say: "Hello, darling!"
Is the song over?

FZ? on the right:
Boy, this is really exciting, making a rock & roll record. I can't even wait until our record comes out and the teen-agers start to buy it. We'll all be rich and famous! When my royalty check comes I think I'm going to buy a Mustang. No, I think I'll . . . I think I'll get a Corvette. No, I think I'll get a Harley Davidson. No, I don't think I'll buy any of those cars. I think what I will do is I will buy a boat. No, I won't do that either. I think, ah, I'll go into real estate. I think I would like to . . . I think I'd like to buy La Cienega Boulevard. No, that wouldn't do any good. Gee, I wonder if they can see me up here, twirling my tambourine and dancing . . .
Maybe after the show one of the girls who sees me up here, singing and twirling my tambourine and dancing, will like me. And she will come over to me and I will walk . . . I will walk up to her and I will smile at her and I will impress her and I will say: "Hello, baby, what's a girl like you doing in a place like this? I'm from a rock & roll band, I think we should . . . "
Is the song over?

Center mumbling:
Ay, ay!
Mingia!
When do we get paid for this?
Ay, ay!
Stop sloppy rock & roll
Slop sloppy . . .
One more time!
Un . . .
Stop sloppy rock & roll
Bop bop bop!
YEAH! WHEEE!

The Feelies

Não ouvia Feelies desde o Som da Frente do António Sérgio, deve dar umas vinte primaveras e qualquer coisa, desde de aquelas cassetes de ferro muito rascas que se faziam com os sinais de fumo. Tenho procurado, mas sempre em vão, ou os links estão desactualizados ou sabe-se lá, no entanto, encontrei um válido, aproveitem enquanto não apagarem o ficheiro do servidor. Dos vossos míticos anos 80, e mais precisamente de 1980, ano de boa colheita, um "grand cru" como dizem lá fora, o Crazy Rythm dos Feelies, ao que parece esgotado em muitas boas terras, tocam como se tocava na altura e faziam isso melhor do que muitos desses pastores todos pintados. Guitarras limpas e acordes maiores/menores? Embrulha aí, filho!

Crazy Rythms



1 - The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness (5:09)
2 - Fa Cé-La (2:01)
3 - Loveless Love (5:08)

Autechre

Pediram-me uma vez para gravar coisas dos Autechre. Respondi na altura que não tinha nada deles. Fica aqui o primeiro álbum deles, em mp3s, eu sei, mas estão de boa qualidade. O álbum é menos experimental que os outros que seguiram, é, no entanto, bom material como é de esperar deles.
Outra coisa, incluo o link para uma faixa, talvez duas, que vem sem grande informação, tirando a indicação de que é com os Aphex Twin e ao vivo em Vancouver. No auge do domínio da maquinaria toda, de ficar de boca aberta. Pelas entrevistas, aquilo não funciona com o harware e o software tradicional, ou se o fôr, torcem-nos todo.

Zappa



Dezembro foi o mês Zappa. Quando o soube, como sou sempre o último a saber estas coisas, já era muito tarde, não quis misturar as festas com esta triste, triste data.
Um site que vos vai arrebentar a cabeça de uma vez por todas. E o resto também, já agora! E mais são todos bootlegs. A gente diz piratas. Então és o perna de pau!
Isso de venerar mortos, poupa-me de uma coisa, as facadas nas costas! Só se mesmo saírem dos caixões!

Creamcheese?
What's got into you, honey?

Robert Wyatt

Verdadeira jóia é este álbum do Robert Wyatt que colou ao meu leitor de CD, e não sai de lá. A música é como a capa, um sonho/sono. O Robert transcende-se. Paul Weller, Brian Eno e Phil Manzarena constam entre os músicos. Um obra de arte.

Atahualpa Yupanki



Disse numa postagem anterior (um poste anterior?) que não encontrava nada sobre Atahualpa Yupanki, bem estes motores de busca devem estar como os deuses, loucos ou então é mau olhado, ou então puseram material recentemente. Mistério. De Argentina, dizia eu, uma joia entre as joias, Don Ata, como é conhecido entre os fãs sulamericanos, e é Don porque não pode haver outro título, ou se calhar até há mais, mas todos eles superlativos.
Atahualpa vem de longe, de muito longe, das pampas e dos montes andinos. De ainda mais longe, se calhar, das aulas de espanhol, e do prof de gabardina duvidosa e de pasta ainda mais duvidosa, mais esquerdista do que o politicamente correcto, dava-nos textos de Don Ata ao som do gira-discos. Não faz mal, a gente gostava dele assim como ele era, com a gabardine e a pasta de couro. Quanto a Atahualpa Yupanki, a guitarra andina e o sangue índio, ficaram para sempre com os seus textos.

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers



Uma compilação do Jonathan Richman, intitulada MegaHits, que cobre dois álbuns dos Modern Lovers, de 77 e 78 se não me engano. Inclui os fantásticos instrumentais do South American Folk Song e do Egyptian Reggae (passava a pouco na TV disfarçado de publicidade para a Nescafé).
Não há lista das músicas, paciência, e são 55 minutos de som. Memorável como sempre. A ter em conta.

Franks wild years

Frank settled down in the Valley,
And he hung his wild years on a
Nail that he drove through his
Wife's forehead.

He sold used office furniture out
There on San Fernando Road and
Assumed a $30,000 loan at
15 1/4 % and put a down payment
On a little two bedroom place.

His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
Made good bloody-marys, kept her mouth
Shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua
Named Carlos that had some kind of skin
Disease and was totally blind.

They had a thoroughly modern kitchen;
Self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)
Frank drove a little sedan.
They were so happy.

One night Frank was on his way home
From work, stopped at the liquor store,
Picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth’s.
Drank 'em in the car on his way to the
Shell station; he got a gallon of gas in a can.

Drove home, doused everything in
The house, torched it.
Parked across the street laughing,
Watching it burn, all Halloween
Orange and chimney red.

Frank put on a top forty station,
Got on the Hollywood Freeway
Headed North.

Never could stand that dog.
