Day of the Utensil

Last week, Spoon's album "Transference" made its official debut and it continues their streak of Wilco-esque consistency.  In lieu of boring you with breaking down why I like it or what it sounds like or whatever else, today is a tribute to the three tools that help us slurp, stab, dice, and eat.  (Sporks have yet to break into my music collection, so you'll have to wait a little longer or look somewhere else for a spork-related song.)  

First up, is King Tubby's "Knife & Fork Dubwise" from Tubby's album Dangerous Dub.  It's a dub song.  It reeks of dub.  It's dub you can smell as soon as you walk in the club.  Don't knock this dub til you try it.  

King Tubby - Knife & Fork Dubwise

Next is Charlie Patton's "Spoonful" from The Music Never Stopped: Roots Of The Grateful Dead.  It's old-as-your-great-gramps acoustic delta blues from a guy Bob Dylan dedicated a song to ("High Water, for Charley Patton").  Born in 1891, he influenced both John Lee Hooker and Howling Wolf.  He's the oldest of the old timey.   

Charlie Patton - Spoonful

Next is Plate Fork Knife Spoon's "Theme from Spacewalk" which is all slow keys & drums.  It's what Whoopi Goldberg's Star Trek character, Guinan, might cue up on the juke box in the Ten-Forward lounge while dispensing sage advise to a conflicted Jean Luc Picard.

Finally...new Spoon.  Just check it out.  

Spoon - Who Makes Your Money

Quick Hits

So, I'm reading The Onion AV Club's "Gateway to Geekery" article on Northern Soul and one of the songs they featured is this gem from girl group The Flirtations out of South Carolina.  The vocals have a definite Michael Jackson-like quality to them, which I guess is sorta interesting since the lead singer here is a female.  But, the song is 2 minutes and 30 seconds of soul-pop wonderfulness.

Live Mutations!

from hammerandbeyond.blogspot.com

Today Koopa’s Hideaway celebrates the release of Beck’s “Mutations” album.  Happy 11yr, 2month, 17 day anniversary, Beck!!!  No one has put out an album since then that is any better than Mutations.  Nobody!  Sure, there have been other great albums released in the decade since, but nothing that goes above and beyond this one.  And for being released near the height of the music industry’s selling power, the 600,000 units that have been sold makes Mutations relatively under-appreciated.  Trufax:  8Ball & MJG’s album “Lost” sold more than 2,000,000 units….

Let’s tick off what makes a great album: 

1.  No stinkers:  Check.  This album plays well from start to finish and even has a relic of its time: a hidden track at the end (Diamond Bollocks). 

2.  Great songwriting:  Check.  So many great lines and suggestive images.  These are songs that can be covered in a variety of ways and dressed up in different musical outfits. 

3.  Fresh musical style:  Check.  The Brazilian tropicalia style Beck & Nigel Godrich mixed into some of these songs felt new and different.  Add in the spacy Moog keyboard effects throughout and you’ve got yourself a distinctive musical palette. 

4.  Hasn’t been successfully copied:  Check.  Can you think of a subsequent album that sounds remotely like “Mutations”?

5.  References to underground musical influences:  Check.  It stands to reason that the name “Mutations” is both a comment on the differences from “Odelay” and a reference to Brazilian tropicalia legends Os Mutantes.  Beck would later do a version their song “O Menina”. 

I spent the better part of yesterday on Becktabs.com’s online forum downloading live material from this album.  I had live versions of most of the album from a couple KCRW radio sessions I had downloaded somewhere, but there were a couple holes.  I found out from whiskyclone.net that one of my all-time favorite Beck songs, Static, has only been played live 4 times.  But, I’m very happy with the finished product and I know you will be too.  I give you, “Live Mutations”:

Chess Expressions

Herein follow minutes concerning the Earth House Chess Club meeting on 01/14/10.

(Or "Why I never win; the nature of the beast.")

On this day we begin the 11th meeting of the Earth House Chess Club.

Total members = 2
Including: Bradley Jones, Ian Doe

Total members in attendance = 1

Including: Bradley Jones

Turn out for chess club was scant this week. Brad Jones was the only member in attendance, not by happenstance, but in accordance with his work schedule. Thus, no proper games were won, lost, or drawn. However, two homeless men (non-members), here named Billy Joel and Charlie 5 (homeless men who enter Earth House more than once are assigned a "Charlie" title, and a number designating their order of appearance, unless endowed with a special trait; "Billy Joel" had the ability to play scales on the house piano for multiple hours without signs of fatigue, for example) were present and available for conversation and fellowship.

As Billy Joel warmed-up and the aether of the church sanctuary filled with dashing glissandos, Brad mentioned to Charlie 5 an interest he had developed in Rube Goldburg-esque suicide machines.

Quoted conversation:

"Have you been thinking of them for a long time?" Charlie 5 said.

"Not really, just for the last few minutes." Brad replied.

"Is it the piano?"

"Yes."

"Want me to ask him to stop playing?"

"No, a suicide machine would be easier."

"Need help building it?"

"Sure, I was actually hoping you might set it into motion for me?"

"What were you thinking of?"

End Quoted Segment.

Brad removed an ink pen from a dented canister on the front counter and sketched a rough diagram for Charlie 5. The plan called for a dog dish filled with wet food, two foot-long lengths of string, 14 dominoes, several cats-eye marbles, a series of pulleys and levers, and finally a child-sized crossbow loaded with a razor tipped, poison dipped arrow positioned to launch from one side of the sanctuary and accurately pierce Brad's heart at the other. Brad pointed with his toe to a spot on the floor stained by espresso coffee (a story in itself) and announced that this was the place where he would be conveniently seated on a stool to make certain the arrows purpose.

Charlie 5 agreed to the plan and they set to it's realization. Just as they finished, the two were interrupted by Billy Joel harshly striking a sour note at the piano and coming to a full stop. Both looked up questioningly.

Quoted conversation:

"God damn fuck fuck fuck!" Billy Joel said.

"What happened?" asked Charlie 5

"Sour note. Everything on this piano works perfectly except this one fucking note and it drives me crazy. How am I supposed to even play this piece of shit?"

"Maybe you shouldn't.." Brad said.

"I've got to, fucking song goes though my head all day and I need to play it fucking perfectly; it's like one of those infected splinters in your finger and you can't think of anything but getting the fucker out. It's making me sick."

"You know the key is bad, but still complain. What do you expect?"

"You obviously have no idea what it's like to be an artist, dude."

"Is it like being an idiot who expects a repeated action to arrive at an impossible, however so desired, consequence?"

End Quoted Segment.

At this Billy Joel turned back the the piano to begin again. Brad sighed and made his way to the carefully positioned stool in defeat. Sitting so as to make his chest an open a target as possible, he pointed to his heart, then motioned for Charlie 5 to set the machine into motion.

The sequence of steps was flawless. Brad felt a rush of anxiety and hope, despite his resolve, as the order of opperations approached the crossbow's trigger. The deadly missle's tip glinted for a split-second as it took flight. It whistled across the room. Brad closed his eyes. The arrow glided just past his neck, he felt the fletchings brush against him, before burying itself in the wall some feet behind.

He opened his eyes. Charlie 5 shrugged at him scratched his head. Billy Joel contiued his playing, the sour note rapidly approaching.

Quoted conversation:

"Load it up again Charlie 5, maybe it will work this time." Brad said.

End Quoted Segment.

What Have I Been Up To?

Before I get too deep into blogging again, I need to account for the 3+ years I've been absent from this blog.  I owe it to my lovingly concerned readers, who I'm sure called their area hospitals looking for new patients named "King Koopa" and drove down country roads searching the ditches for my twisted frame.  I'm alive, I'm well, and if you're reading this I assume you're about the same.  So, what have I been up to?
1)  I got married to "Elle"!
2)  I travelled the world by bumper boat.
3)  I got two orange kitty cats, Otis & Newton.
4)  I voted in an election for the first time.
5)  I invested heavily in beanie babies.  Oops.
6)  I contracted Hoof & Mouth disease.
7)  I turned 30.  Boo.
8)  I bought a sweet ride!
9)  I got laid off.  Boooo.
10)  I lost weight!  Back in my 36-30s, natch.
11) Ron Artest's R&B label "Tru Warrior" issued my solo debut as compensation for punching me.
11a) I went platinum in Morocco!
12) I started wearing curduroy pants again.
13) I started a small business based on inspection/maintenance for stormwater treatment units.
14) I set up a wireless network in my house to connect my laptop, external hard drives, and stereo.

And, that brings us up to the present.  I just set up the wireless network yesterday and it is a wonder to behold.  I have wireless access to all 22,083 music files on my iTunes and can play them on my wireless speakers with a single click.  Longtime dream come true.  Next up, I'm DJ-ing for my old buddy Jason Rowland's gallery show at the Murphy Building here in Indy on February 5th.  Here's a link to his stuff on Etsy.  But, more on that later!

Enough exposition, right?...lets get to the music!  This track is fresh as Binaca, with equal parts Brazillian Girls, New Young Pony Club & LCD Soundsystem.  And, I've not played it for anybody but "Elle", Otis & Newton.  I hope your dance moves are as good as Newton's!

Update:

That Old Heat

So, the past six months I've really been getting back into hip hop, primarily mid-to-late 90's NY stuff.  These two tracks are ones I've discovered that absolutely slay.  Both tracks are DJ Premier beats, and you can. not. front. on Primo.  The Group Home "Supa Star" track was sampled for DJ Cam's "Gangsta Shit (live)".  The Showbiz & AG track is one of those tracks that anyone with an appreciation for hip hop will fall in love with.

Me -> Saddle, Again

Well, would you look at that! This ol' blog is still here just as I left it...son of a gun. Lord knows I've said and thought some not-so-friendly things about blogs in the past, but I take it all back. Blogs are awesome! Time for me to get back on this saddle and get frustrated all over again with others lack of interest! Woo hoo!

Election Day Blues

Somebody stole my t-shirt idea

Sergio Mendes - Fool On the Hill

I thought I might vote today, but I didn't. If I had to vote for something, I'd vote for this song being totally cool. It's got that swinging, breezy vibe to it. And, it's a cover of a Beatles tune. I love Beatles covers.

Tighten Up

"See? Now, I could make it even tighter if I wanted, if I wanted to cave in your chest. It's one of the many ways to silently kill your enemy that I learned from my neighbor who was in 'Nam."

Jamiroquai - Tighten Up (Live)

My buddy Jasper, aka Doc McGradencrock, aka B-Rad, hooked up the live Jamiroquai track on a mix he made me this week. It lives up to the awesomeness of the original, by Archie and the Drells. I'm surprised I'd never heard it, but I haven't gone out of my way to collect all Jamiroquai's live covers. The sound quality is very good.

Peace out.

Pin the Tail on the Jackass

Which one of these two is the jackass?

Van Morrison - It's All Over Now, Baby Blue [mp3]

Beck - Jack-ass (Lowrider Remix) [mp3]

Beck - Jack-ass [mp3]

Back to Beck and his samples...this one is my favorite. Van Morrison & Them's version of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" was playing at my buddy Seth's place one day, and my antenna perked up, making mental connections, and searching the databanks for the link. Didn't need a dish or cable, my ol' antenna processed the signal just fine and with very little fuzz, thank you very much. The echo-y keyboards and guitars, it's the backbone of Beck's "Jack-ass" from Odelay. Both songs are among my favorites. The Lowrider remix sounds more than a little dated. Sounds like the Stereo MC's or something. It's sorta rare though, I guess...if that means anything anymore in the age of limewire...

Cooderific

Ry Cooder - Tear Drops Will Fall

Guess Who's Back?

King Koopa is back in the game.

Mick Jagger w/ Ry Cooder - Memo To Turner [mp3]

Say, did anybody else notice Beck sampled Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" for his new single "Cellphone's Dead"? Here's a high school band playing "Chameleon", from DJ Shadow's compilation "Schoolhouse Funk".

Curtain Call

Hey everyone, check out my unit!

And so, another era of the internet has come to a close, albeit with a whimper and nary a condolatory sniffle. King Koopa is hanging up his blogging shoes. That’s right world, you don’t have King Koopa to kick around the blogosphere anymore. From this point on, I will no longer be a “blogger”, except in the past tense. I never had any pride in being a blogger anyway; in fact, I was always somewhat ashamed to include myself among a group of people who feel compelled to share with the world any and all sorts of information that nobody else cares about but themselves. I tried to make my posts interesting, but I realize that Koopa’s Hideaway was always a pretty insular place that primarily served to keep my mind active during down times at my job. I’d be fooling myself if I thought Koopa’s Hideaway was anything more than a glorified diary with a soundtrack. The only Hideawayheads were friends of mine who were as bored as I was and felt obliged to click over to my blog from time to time. My Site Tracker told me I averaged about 20-30 visitors a day, but most of them were probably looking for transgender midget porn or something.

Unfortunately, the powers that be at my office have decided that I need to concern myself with only work matters during work hours. “They” don’t have any guidance for what I should do instead of using the internet (in fact, twiddling my thumbs was proposed by one of the higher-ups), but “they” told me that my use of the internet during work hours must come to a close. I’m a chronically under-stimulated person and I don’t look forward to what lies ahead during my time of boredom around here. The temptation to double click on my Internet Explorer icon and visit Koopa’s Hideaway again will be ever-present and excruciating, like a recovering crack addict living next to Bobby and Whitney.

My co-workers should expect to be interrupted much more frequently with conversations about off-season football moves, the weather, and other nonsense that people talk about when they don’t have anything to talk about. I’ll still be able to check my Yahoo email and surf around a little bit during lunch and after work, but the whole point of this blog was to kill time during work. I’m not going to blog from home, because I’ve got better things to do with my free time. I leave you with one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs, and one of the best “goodbye” songs ever written. Each party is sorta sad to see the other one leave, but both parties realize that things have come to an end. The only thing left is the inevitable journey to the next thing down the road. By saying goodbye, we’re already halfway there.

Bob Dylan – Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right (Demo) [from the soundtrack to “No Direction Home]

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Stay classy, planet earth. And, thanks for stopping by.

Encore: Kaada - Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time. This track is my favorite way to end a mix cds. You'll enjoy it for that reason, as well. Kaada is a Scandinavian (Norwegian?) sample artist who sometimes sings over his songs, as he does on this one. This song sounds like a Motown song done by a benevolent alien who studied earth by listening to AM radio transmissions. The perfecto closer.

Koopa out.

Don't Move A Muscle

Don't make a move, punk. I could smoke you without coughing.

So, I leave for Hawaii next Wednesday. I can’t wait. This pasty Midwestern boy is ready to kick it on “island time” for a week. Yesterday, I talked to one of my buddies from LA who is going and he’s hooking up a resort hotel in Waikiki for like $60/night. We’ll be splitting our time between there and our friend’s place who lives in some village on Oahu and teaches biology or something. Pays to have friends who have friends in the service industry. You bet yer booty it does.

Here’s another mix I’ve made for the trip. This one is sort of a hangover-friendly morning mix. Island-stylee. I’m calling this one “Don’t Move a Muscle”, it’s one of the most chill mixes I’ve made in awhile. Nothing to get too excited about here, just lay around for a minute and get your wits about you. We’ll go from there…

Happy Relatively-Close-Birthday To Me!

The traditional Birthday Tenderloin

So, I’m laying around last night with Elle and I bring up the subject of my birthday present, which isn’t exactly around the corner, but it’s coming up soon enough. She had mentioned the night before on the phone that she had been looking on the internet for my birthday stuff. I got her to begrudgingly give me a clue, which was “It has to do with the Civil War”. I’ve been to Gettysburg and I’ve read some stuff about history, so I was pretty excited already. Here was my thought progression: Uhh...slaves?...sex slave?...the Underground Railroad?...a Grand Funk Railroad record?...wait, no the war was technically over states rights, right?...and we live in a state capital...the state to the right of us on the map is Ohio...but, nothing really happens in Ohio...Lincoln?...I've been to the home he was born in...and irreverantly participated in an adoption rights protest in front of his monument while I was in a soccer tournament in DC as a kid...Hey, there's a park in Chicago called Lincoln Park...we stayed near there for the Feist show!...but I really hope it doesn't have anything to do with Linkin Park...although they do sound pretty good w/ Jay-Z...music music music...I think there's also a park called Grant Park in Chicago...and, didn't I recently confuse where we stayed as Grant Park instead of Lincoln Park?...only to have Elle correct me and tell me that Lollapalooza was at Grant Park?...Hey, wasn't Grant a Yankee general?...gotcha!: It’s Lollapalooza in GRANT Park, Chicago (Aug 4-6). That was it, and I knew it, and I told her that I knew what it was. Incredulous and doubtful of my Sherlockian qualities, she said there was “no way”. I asked if she wanted me to guess and, still irrationally skeptical of my powers of deduction, she said “yeah, sure”. I then proceeded to simultaneously blow her mind and ruin my the surprise of my birthday present in one fell swoop. But, considering that hotels must be booked and whatnot, I think it’s best to know now. If you haven’t seen the lineup for this year’s Lollapalooza, you’re in for a surprise because I dare say that it is the best lineup I’ve ever seen for a festival. Bar none. And, fewer hippies than any other festival ever…I hope.

Question: Could I be more excited? Answer: No.
Question: Is my girlfriend, like, super awesome? Answer: Yes.

Here’s a sampling of the bands that will rock my own personal Kasbah from Friday till Sunday, with nary a drum circle to break my mood. Want to join us? Belly up to the bar, partner.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Manu Chao (mp3: Clandestino), Wilco (mp3: Student Loan Stereo, from one of the "Can't Stand It" cd singles), Death Cab For Cutie, The Raconteurs (see 2/24 post), The Flaming Lips (see 2/24 post), Ween, The Shins, Common, Matisyahu (his interview with The Onion), Ryan Adams (mp3: I See Monsters, live from XM Studios, Spring '05), Thievery Corporation, Broken Social Scene (mp3: Almost Crimes, the original , unreleased version), The New Pornographers, Iron & Wine, Eels, Panic! At the Disco, The Disco Biscuits , Andrew Bird, Gnarls Barkley (see 2/24 post), Stars (mp3: This Charming Man, a Smiths cover), Blackalicious, Lyrics Born, Calexico, Feist, Aqualung, The Go! Team (mp3: Huddle Formation, RJD2 remix)…on and on goes the list…

Happy McDrinky Day

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Hideawayheads! Let’s cut the crap about what the true meaning of the holiday is. It’s a day for drinkin’. I can’t help the fact that a black and tan really does sound super delicious right now. Tonight, I’m gonna catch a buzz, enjoy the merriment of my fellow man in the over-crowded ambience of a faux-Irish drinking establishment and leave it at that. I don’t need to hear bagpipes; in fact, I’d prefer not to. In fact, since the street-level intent of this holiday is excessive drinking, I wanna hear party songs, not The Chieftans. And, wouldn’t ya know it, I’ve compiled a new party mix this week. I did it in preparation for my upcoming trip to Hawaii for a friend’s wedding, but a party is a party. Drink up the goodness and be safe.
