Roxy Music-"Siren"  Ferry Rules!!!
Bri

Tom Verlaine asked about Brian Eno's sessions for an aborted Television LP:

Quote
Verlaine: The only thing I can tell you about it would be bad! I mean I like Eno, I like his records... The bad thing about it is there was a very uncool A&R guy who took the tapes back to London and played 'em for every fucking artist on Island Records, so-and like I tell that to people but they don't believe it, it happens a lot, especially with the English... I mean they ripped off a whole fucking artform from Americans. And their whole esthetic is like if they hear something that's good it just sorta comes in their ear and goes out their mouth y'know-and most of 'em have the means to like set something on vinyl really quickly, crank out the stuff, so yeah, so there's a lot of lines that are on our record (MM) that might strike some people as familiar even though the songs are like 4 years old...specifically, a lot of the lines turned up on Roxy Music's SIREN record-at least a dozen! Some I got so distressed about I said 'Well f***! -if he's gonna take THESE lines! I mean how can I prove it, I can't prove it, right? But you know...

George Elliott: Quote some, I'm very familiar with that album...

TV: One of them is 'My heart stopped' and the whole band stops...

GE: (quoting Ferry) 'Will it stop?' (Sentimental Fool)

TV: Right, which is a move we used to do in 'Venus de Milo' ...which I got bored with and changed anyway. Another thing is 'This case is closed' at the end of - see, I only heard the album twice, I got so like pissed off when I heard it I took it out and sold it (laughing) didn't want to hear it again!... And there was this thing about little birdcalls I think on one of the songs.

GE: "Nightingale"

TV: Right- we used to have like a (chirp-whistles imitating a bird) kind of effect on a song called 'Prove It'...another thing is on the tape I did for Eno I did a certain style of playing piano-a certain kind of harmony with two hands- which showed up in their keyboards on I believe the second song on the first side ("End of the Line") just a certain way like- but I can't claim originality for that, it was just curious that even THAT showed up... and then we had, the song 'Venus de Milo' the whole subject of it is Love is a drug, I mean there's even a line in it "It's all just like a new kind of drug" -and then there's this Roxy song (chuckling) on SIREN 'Love is the Drug'! ... Bryan Ferry's known as a thief y'know, everybody sort of knows it...

I do love Siren, as well.  Incidentally.

Just finished Songs Of Leonard Cohen, great album, struck me how similar much of it was (backing tracks) to Tim Buckley's Goodbye and Hello....just a bit, just a flavour....
-and he's (mr Cohen) still under-rated and thought of as being miserable when he's one of the funniest songwriters around.

Plush, "What'll We Do," from "Fed," my favorite album of the last several years.

Great TV bit, Chris.

Paper Shoes by Yoko (ewww, her!), excellent psychedelia. Like much great rock it's inspired by a passing train and undergirded by a bo diddley beat. The train is the opening sound effect, an amplified and very extended version of the Pet Sounds one, you might say. Forget Yoko for a moment, the train part is a stereo hi-fi found-sound-lover's delight,  and very fourth dimensional, a little mind movie. The Yoko that follows is very subdued vocalwise and subordinated to the typical Plastic-Band rhythm track (the same whoever it's playing behind), a wordless train blues, a very good one and a fine piece of dynamically propelled trance music too.

Inspired by the Rolling Stone article and the other thread, a GnR bootleg, "Unplugged." It's half '92 in Argentina, half '87 (CBGB's, I think). Amusing, I guess. Kind of.
