joseph beuys: "ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee" - the complete 1968 recording plus some kippenberger plus some more

and now it's beuys, laydildies and gentillommes; joseph beuys. this=here performance of "ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee" was executed at the staited accordamy of arats in düsseldorf on the 14th of daycimbre 1968 featuring johannes stüttgen and henning christiansen for one reason or soume others, butt mostoffall it's beuys who can not could never will neverever keep his loudmouth better shut it up, baby.

some parts of this performance had been released on a vinyl longplayer in 1970 in italy; but it was not until 2001 that the complete recording lasting more than one hour was released seamlesslaid on cd. and this longendlesslylong performance is what you'll get today; plus some bonus tracks you might not like ass well: a short excerpt of the 1970 release i found on ubuweb, three rather short versions of the song martin kippenberger executed in 1995, and a short excerpt of a german radio feature about the deconstruction of a beuys bathtube by a leverkusen charlady in 1973.

so here is joseph beuys and the long version of ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee (featuring a 16-page-booklet) and the short version of ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee (featuring nothing at all); rippored from my very own copy of the cd:

01 - joseph beuys - ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee (1968; cd 2001; 64 minutes)

02 - joseph beuys - ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee (1968; lp 1970; excerpt) (listen directly in your browser)

and here comes martin kippenberger and three versions of ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee he released as a cd in 1995 (i could not find a picture of the backside of the cover; and i found the music on ubuweb; so here we go)

03- kippenberger - ja ja ja ja ja, nee nee nee nee nee

the people under the stairs: original soundtrack recordings by graeme revell and don peake, plus some bonus tracks

graeme revell is of course best known for his work with the australian noise unit spk (surgical penis klinik; sozialistisches patienten kollektiv, et cetera), and for the soundtracks he committed for the crime scene investigation later on. the work of don peake was completely unknown to me until i heard this soundtrack of the 1991 wes craven film the people under the stairs, but there is a lot of obvious reasons to love him and his music. 

at least four different versions of the soundtrack are in circulation; all of them have the same tracks by revell and peake on vinyl, tape or cd, while the french cd version added a rare 4'03''-minutes-version of a track by the hiphop-unit readhead kingpin and the fbi. and this french cd version of course is what you'll get.

furthermore you will find two tracks graeme revell contributed to the soundtrack of dusk till dawn, plus some tracks he composed for the film body of evidence; you can find the cd of that soundtrack at rather reasonable prices in your local dustbin.

so here we go for the people under the stairs:

01 - redhead kingpin and the fbi - do the right thing (4'03''-version)

02 - graeme revell - suite part one 

03 - graeme revell - suite part two (listen directly in your browser)

04 - don peake - the people under the stairs suite

and justin case you wonderered why eye called him "postkraut", here is some of the work mister hampel did with the very obscure 39-clocks-posse in hannover roundabout 1985: and though most of the links mentioned in those posts are dead, the music is still here and there and now.

drive to heaven, welcome to chaos: a very funny international compilation released in tokyo almost thirty years ago; featuring henry kaiser, fred frith, der plan, pyrolator, andreas dorau, john zorn and many others

exactly what it says in the headline: sixteen very different artists, mostly from japan, germany, england and the us of a, with a rather incoherent choice of tracks pullulating in the leftfields of weird pop, experimental noise, fake disco and yonderways beyond. 

drive to heaven will help you waste your precious time on a lazy sunday afternoon in a very sophisticated way: you're allowed to dance, in case you don't know, and welcome to caos (sic!), laydeedees and djintallmints!

four semi=obscure 7inchers i found in my record collection: gene williams from 1968, the jets from 1973, the jars from 1980, and the modernaires from 1981

yes, i was digging in the graveyard late at night, and look what i found: four seven-inch-vinyl-singles most of you have neverever seen or heard: and now you can find out if there is a reason (no, there's no real reason) to hunt them down on discogs or ebay. i transmuted the crickcracklesandpops of the annalocked vinyl to some godlike mp3s this afternoof, cramming and stuffing both sides of each into one long track (each, as well), so that you can listen to the aside and the beside almost seamlessly in one rutsch right here on this sight of the everning; and if you want to downlord the tracks to your heartdrive please be sure to save the pictures as well as there are no .zip or .rar files as you might have expectered.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

so let us start with the one and only known sevenincher (and their only known release as well) of the jets from 1973:

reportedly the jets were a one-off drunk-afternoon project created by ken elliott, kearon o'conner and mike craig to outglitter all that sweet stuff that slayed the charts in those days, and that's what they did. the a-side is a forgotten glam=gem, while the b-side is a coumpletely different sounding tongue-in-cheap-version of hatfield and the north or even van der graaf generator.

a: yeah!
b: rusty corinthian pillar

listen to the jets glammering it all out!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

next up next is gene williams, a southafrican singer and songwriter, who is living in germany since he liberated the black forest from the fascist scum in 1945. he has recorded and released a lot of schlagersoul records since the early sixties, sometimes using the wonderful pseudonym eugene william birkenstock.

 
this=here record is easily one of the best records he recorded allthroughout the years, with a dieter reith combo that never again rocked like this, and the lyrics are a wonderful mishmatch of german and british blabla. great.

a: my soul is black
b: rock'n roll in london town

listen to gene williams and the dieter reith combo

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

not all too much is known about the jars; they were mik dow on guitars and vocals, armin hammer on bass guitar, gary nervo on farfisa, and marc time on drums. they released two singles in 1980 and then got lost in the process of growing old.

but this one=here is cool: a rather tame and nice a-side, followed by a version of psycho originally recorded by the sonics in 1965 in a hyped-up b-52s manner and then going completely over the top with the third track and stopping it appsoruptley before it starts getting a psychoboredelic jam. wunderbra!

a: start rite now
b: psycho / electric third rail

listen to the jars from 1980

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

 

finally we got the modernaires from wales if i may guess. in the early eighties they released some records on the illuminated label, frickled around in some obscure bands like brodyr-y-fin and the likes, and they were never heard of again and lived happily until you died, as far as my ears are inwolfed. 

but this little sevenincher, though corenpleateley worned=out and cricracrockeling all the time, is a wonderful tribute to the groundbreaking work of the early soft machine. starting with a little missapt quotation of a kinks reminiscence the wilde flowers had been using in the midsixties, and ending all out in some poetic kevinayeresk freeform noise for the afternoon show down in middle earth. take some drugs, baby.

a: we did it again

b: and again

listen to the modernaires from 1981

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
