I saw Negativland in concert at the Belly-Up Tavern in San Diego
on May 5. My friend brought his DAT recorder and his $200 stereo
microphones, and recorded the concert. It turned out cherry!
So cherry, in fact, that I made a double CD out of it.

The 2-CD set is $15. $5 of that goes directly to Negativland for their
legal defense & paying off Island Records funds. They've received
$3000 from me so far.

Keep in mind that this is technically not a bootleg. Negativland
allows people to tape their concerts. In fact, Mark Hosler was trying
to help me get a VCR hooked up to the in-house video camera circuit
(alas, wrong kind of video connectors).

Here is the track listing. Be aware that I made up names for most of
them, since I don't know what they were actually called. All times were
taken from my master DAT tapes.

Disc 1
------
2:17 - Introduction
5:06 - Dick Vaughn speaks
7:02 - The Hellbound Plane
6:25 - Longdistance Dedication
9:34 - The Copyright Law part 1
5:01 - Time Zones
7:49 - History of the U-2 Incident
7:00 - U2 Part 1 (with the Weatherman)

Disc 2
------
21:27 - The Copyright Law part 2
7:24 - Perfect Scrambled Eggs
6:02 - Christianity Is Stupid
3:50 - Proud To Be An American (lip sync)
2:25 - (end of concert)
2:54 - Mark Hosler speaks
8:47 - Four Fingers

The title is "negativconcertland", and the cover is a really cool
black-and-white picture of toast popping out of a toaster. The booklet
contains a description of what was going on during the concert, a letter
from Casey Kasem explaining why he won't allow the U2 single to be
re-released, the entire text of "Fair Use" (an essay on the copyright
law that they were distributing at the concert), and much much more.
Every inlay card is numbered. (#1 went to Negativland, and they got
12 total -- free, of course.)

Some people who bought the CD have posted comments about it to various
Usenet groups, and every one is positive: the CD sound is very clear,
and the packaging/booklet/etc. is professional. There were reviews
on rec.music.reviews and in the Escape From Noise digest

Mail me if you're interested. There are 200 sets (or so) left.

I digitized one track ("The Hellbound Plane") onto my friend's
Sparcstation, and it is now available by anonymous FTP at
sounds.sdsu.edu:/sounds/songs/negativland/hellbound-plane.au.

Also, I have a "U2 Negativland" shirt available. The front is a
digitally reconstructed version of the original cover, in the original 2
colors. (It's reconstructed, because if I just scanned it in, it would
look like crap.) The right shirt sleeve is the Universal Media Netweb
logo in black, and the back is the "Corporate SST _Still_ Sucks Rock."
from page 42 of "The Letter U And The Numeral 2". The shirts themselves
are 100% cotton white Hanes Beefy-Ts. Each shirt is $12 and comes in
all sizes from M to XXL. If you're interested in that, let me know.

This post (in which I am VERY interested!) made me wonder.....
Does Negativland or members thereof have email addresses? May be a dumb
question to some, but I am still wet behind my net-ears, so I was just
wondering...

AONOX (JOEY BELTRAM): Aonox (2-12")

According to Visible Records, you can play these records at 33 for the
ambient room and at 45 for the dancefloor. If you get the CD, your only
choice is ambient. Some of the tracks sound a bit unnatural sped up, but
others such as "Clockwork" and "The Cold" take on an instense feeling that
actually makes the slower speed appear awkward (it probably depends on
which you listen to first). And then there's other selections, like
"Across the Hemishpere" and "Cure", that are great at any speed. My
advice is get this on vinyl so you can hear Beltram's work at various
tempos. Either way, these 11 pieces offer up a great deal of aural
pleasure for both public and private listening. _Aonox_ shows Joey
Beltram's definite talent for designing hypnotic beats and timbre changes
that are continually evolving. (VISIBLE, 2443 FILLMORE STREET SUITE 336,

>> Brian Leach - The Sunrise Nearly Killed Me - Parasol PAR CD-005

More than a few of the tracks on this disc make me think this is a
companion volume to Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend" LP. The opening title
track has all the elements of Sweet's opening "Divine Intervention": the
searing lead guitar, the punchy (but not 80s booming) drums, the great
rhythm guitar, and the same sort of expressive vocals. It's not as
definitive an opening track as Sweet's (which hooked me in the first 2
seconds), but it's better than most.

The ballads numbers show all the requisite influences, including the
Raspberries, Shoes, Rubinoos, and remind me of more current artists such
as Adam Schmitt. I also pick up an odd sense of George Harrison in some
of the melodies.

By disc end I'm left wondering, who the hell is Brian Leach? Where'd he
come from? Has he done anything else before? Anyone know?

>> (Various Artists) - The Doo Wop Box - Rhino R2 71463

I bought this on a lark, through a deal our radio station worked out
with Rhino. I figured that since I knew absolutely nothing about Doo
Wop, this would be a good starting point. And, boy, was I right. Well,
I was right that this is a good starting place... it's a great listening
experience. I was wrong, though, to think that I knew "nothing" about
Doo Wop. Or, more accurately, I really didn't know what afficianados
(who, I assume, did the track selection for this box) even think of as
Doo Wop. There are just *so* many hit singles that define so much of
music in the 50s for me...

And, like most of Rhino's better boxes, there is just way too much music
(and information in the accompanying booklet!) to digest in any small
number of listenings. One thing that struck me right off is how
different this music sounds in context - that is, not squished between a
Bob Seger song and a car commercial on the local oldies radio station.
There is a tremendous diversity of styles and productions on these
discs, but there is a continuity of feeling... something that one would
never appreciate by hearing one of these songs every couple of days on
the radio. There is a coherency to Doo Wop (and again, the genre is a
lot wider than the New York streetcorner singing I had thought of) and
50s R'n'B vocal music that makes for great extended listening.

>>128308952
It's especially heartening to hear such overly-familiar cuts as The
Spaniels "Goodnite Sweetheart, Goodnite", The Platters "Only You", The
Platters "The Great Pretender", The Teenagers "Why Do Fools Fall in
Love", The Clovers "Devil or Angel", The Heartbeats "A Thousand Miles
Away", The Dell Vikings "Come Go With Me" filed in between lesser known
Doo Wop highlights, bringing these overworn icons of 50s music (okay,
sure, a few of them take me back to specific scenes in `American
Graffitti') to the land of the living song.

It's also a thrill to hear the original versions of songs that were
covered by white acts who had the Top-40 hits single.

And the songs display such an honest, almost naive, approach to the
world. Something that one doesn't (or can't) hear today.

Each of the discs contains 25 or 26 gems - Rhino didn't skimp, and the
sound is crisp and clean. Maybe a bit too clean, when you figure that
most of this music was heard through dashboard AM radios, or blaring out
of a phonograph that dropped 45 on 45, grinding the vinyl along the way.

> Martin Denny - Quiet Village - Toshiba-EMI Japan TOCP-8323

The Japanese are *killing* me with their great Denny reissues. Besides
EMI's superb Denny compilation, they've now begun straight-reissues of
Denny's original exotica LPs. This disc features the 13 tracks from the
original release, plus the original, longer, mono version of the title
track. I can now hear the difference, but even having the two tracks
back-to-back, it's not easy.

The front cover art (featuring "Exotica Girl" Sandy Warner perched on a
bamboo porch) looks to be from the original negatives, while the back
cover is a rather blurry copy of the original.

The liner notes are, sadly for me, entirely in Japanese. Anyone want to
do a translation for me? The notes seem to indicate that there are 6 or
7 discs in this "Exotic Sound" series, including a compilation of Denny,
Lyman, Les Baxter and others titled "The Very Best of The Exotic
Sounds." Anyone seen this last volume, or other straight reissues of
Denny LPs?

"Quiet Village" certainly isn't my favorite Denny LP (that would go to
"Exotic Percussion", but it does feature many excellent tracks,
including a wonderfully moody (or is it langorous) reading of "Stranger
in Paradise" and Norman Warren's "Martinique", a cha-cha arrangment of
the overdone "Hawaiian War Chant", plus a quartet of Les Baxter tunes,
"Coronation", "Paradise Found", "Tune From Rangoon" and "Quiet Village."
Denny's exotic arrangement of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Happy Talk" is
also a treat. Some of the tracks, such as Denny's Japanese-ish "Sake
Rock" and "Firecracker' sound hackneyed.

Overall, a necessity for Denny completists, but either the Rhino or EMI
best-of should satisfy most anyone else interested in Denny's music.

Instead of distilling their weakness for experimental trash into noise-rock that sounds like a million bucks, they apply their skill at major-label compromise to their eternal propensity for experimental trash. After all this time, they know what they're doing when they fuck around, and their long-evolving rock and roll groove breaks down only when they have something better to do--there's nothing aleatory, accidental, or incompetent about it. Anyway, usually the groove holds; this is no Sister because it moves when it means to. Its unexpected noises are the marks of flesh-and-blood creatures thinking and feeling things neither you nor they have ever thought or felt before. If they can't quite put those things into words, that's what unexpected noises are for. A

As a white person in an integrated, how do we say it, nabe, I should breathe a sigh of relief that pithy Christopher Wallace seems content to exploit his own people--"I been robbin' motherfuckers since the slave ship," or, if you prefer, "I be beatin' motherfuckers like Ike beat Tina." As a male person, I should be grateful he doesn't want to pimp my kind either. But because I live a lot farther from the edge, these things don't make me feel better at all--I'm outraged when anyone gets robbed, beaten, or pimped, descendants of slaves especially. Hence I'm not inclined to like this motherfucker. But the more I listen the more I do. Wiping the cold out of his eyes at 5:47 a.m. or pulling his gat as the wrong guy comes down the street, he commands more details than any West Coast gangsta except carbetbagging Ice-T. His sex raps are erotic, his jokes are funny, and his music makes the thug life sound scary rather than luxuriously laid back. When he considers suicide, I not only take him at his word, I actively hope he finds another way. A-

Among those they don't put down are a porn actress, a happy born-againer, a guy in Birkenstocks and a tie-dyed Rancid T-shirt, Hasidic O.G.'s, and--implicitly--people who like tunes with their rant and rave. They're a six-figure advance away from that exalted state where assholes everywhere can call them shallow and suburban. A-

The cover art depicts a frightened little girl on a swingset cowering as the menacing shadow of a hook-handed rapist draws near. The band loves this image and flaunts it in their trade ads as Sony flogs their death-industrial into its second year. They also sing about child abuse--guess what? They're aggin it. But if their name isn't short for kiddy porn, then the band should insist on a music video where they all get eaten by giant chickens. C
