Banter between tracks on records.

Is my previous post a reference to one of the great Swedish albums of the 90s, or a dig at DLR's dated posting style? Take yer pick.

The shape of threads to come.

Not an on-record thing so much as a live thing, but I always thought that the Glaswegian alt-folk singer Chrissy Barnacle was an OK musician, but would've been really great as a stand-up comedian. I once saw her do a little in-between-songs anecdote about when she was working as a dental hygenist and experienced a sudden moment of unexpected erotic thrill when her gloved fingers accidentally brushed up against the fingers of her otherwise-unattractive dentist inside a patient's mouth, and ever since then I find myself reminded of that story every time I've gone to the dentist. Perhaps now you will too.

It’s not really up there with Marathon Man, is it?

Snickers Man these days.

 

[May Kasahara]

Right at the end of INQB8TR by Bark Psychosis, an answering machine message: "What you doing, playing on your Shatner's bassoon?"

 

[Silas Loom]

Does that album predate or postdate the Cake episode of Brass Eye?

 

[May Kasahara]

Post, obviously.

Ooh yeah, answerphone messages are a good subgenre.

Mixmaster Mike right at the beginning here:



And this isn't between tracks but the voicemail message from Little Simz' cousin at the end of this is beautiful:

I remember an early Gorky's Zygotic Mynci track where one of their dads walks in and berates them for being loud because "bass sounds travel!"

There's a good one of those on this...

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Glyn Johns (I think) talks to Ron about feedback...

 

[danski]

You seen the video to Three MCs?

I've still never actually seen it, can you summarise the plot in between playing two offbeat Glaswegian folk songs?

Yo, Born Against, you better be extremely fuckin' cautious about who you talk shit about.

Since then I've moved up to a receptionist, and now I'm a word processor.

"It's a weird new language innit? It's, it's the hunes. It's the hune. The hoons that took over from the hunes."

Can't work out if MES is actually talking to the women who are discussing whether there might be some little shops at the end of the bridges. It's a weird contrast.

Captain Beefheart:

"Now we won't have to worry about Rockette Morton with any of those girls..."

"Rockette Morton takes off again into the wind!"

"What do you run on, Rockette Morton?"

("say beans")

"I run on beans!"

"I run on laser beans!"

There's a fair bit on Trout Mask Replica

It attracts a lot of rats etc

Fast and bulbous etc.

 

[Silas Loom]

Hold up, we've got to prove we're adults now. We're not a punk rock band, we're a new wave band.

Rick Wakeman eat your heart out! Here we go.

Can't be the only one thinking of the Pixies.

"...girls and fucked them at school... all I know is that there were rumours he was into field hockey players... there were rumours"
"So I applied, basically..."
"He was gone the next day"
"...and went out for the team"
"It's like, he was gone, they were like it was like, so hush hush, they were so quiet about it. And then the next thing you know..."

First one that came to mind.

The ones on Dre's 2001 are unlistenable...
Now.

They told me that the classics never go out of style, but... they do, they do.

Also at the end of liberation frequency there is the skit starting "there's more coming". It was on a punkorama album and I still sometimes think it is at the beginning of the Nekromantix track that follows it. It fits really well.

You seen the video to Three MCs?

Yeah it's brill. The first two minutes before the music starts still makes me laugh now. They started their Brixton Academy gig like that, in that pose. Ace. I loved the Beastie Boys being fucking daft.

Tiny bit of a niche one this, but does papusadrianuspapusadrianuspapusadrianuspapusadrianuspapusadrianuspapusadrianuspapusadrianuspapusadrianus count?

Keep On Your Mean Side by the Kills is a great dumb horny garage rock album that inexplicably features about a minute of tedious babbling about how they do the effects for the weather forecast on telly. It's not a highlight of the album.

-Come on Angus, get Malcolm and we’ll write a song.

-Ok, sounds groovy, how about this one?

How about all the ads inbeween the songs on the Flaunt It LP by Sigue Sigue Sputnik?

I used to hate hate hate that they did that, now I quite like it.
At the time there was talk of all LPs selling the gaps between songs and it seemed like a terrible idea.

I still absolutely hate the radio bits Cheeseburger do between songs on their LP.

Does anybody care about Cheeseburger?
Famous for having an adult swim animator on guitar (they were on the label)
This whole LP feels completely unfinished. It's got some great songs but also a load of faff that should not have been let on. . . also very notable that it's just guitar and drums, but in a way that doesn't sound like that was intended. . like they just didn't finish the recording or mixing (They are a five piece band on all other recordings)

Oops gone off topic.

Roy Harper has a pre-track ramble:

Producer: “Rolling!”

RH: “A joint. I want everything laid on when I get in there next time”
