The infamous LEMMY / WENDY O. WILLIAMS (singer of the PLASMATICS) join-venture. I wouldn’t excactly call this one glorious moment in the history of music, but I still dig it. Must be the memories, I guess – MOTÖRHEAD tore shit up still in 82 still and the PLASMATICS were one helluva live band.
It’s actually quite intriguing, how such a noisy, messy record could make it into public. How they manage to tear “Stand by your Man” apart while still rocking, wow, that’s well done. Try that nowadays ….
Quote of the moment:
«What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn't everyone's life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?» (Michel Foucault)On heavy rotation:
An album full of diamonds and diamonds.Movie of the moment:
«Midnight in Paris» is not only the best Woody Allen movie in quite some time (although I must say that I loved «Matchpoint» for its cold bourgeois-brutality) – it can also be seen as a witty comment on the current retro-trend. And it's pure cinematic joy!Book of the moment:
It's a paradox: Blogs like this one disenchant the music that enchants their makers. The obscure, the magic, the mystery that was an integral part of popular music until a few years ago, has now been shattered completely. The internet and all its effect has torn down the boundary that used to separate the past from the present in the cultural production: Everything is only a few mouseclicks away, from music to art, fashion, design - you name it. The downside: Popular culture finally eats itself, is obsessed with its own past and thus creates nothing new. This is one of the main thesis of renowned music journalist Simon Reynolds' in his excellent book «Retromania. Pop culture's addiction to its own past». Reynold goes one step further and makes an interesting point saying that Punk itself was a reactionary cultural movement, dreaming of a world "without the Sgt Peppers album". A sometimes pretty academic, well written, resourceful and very much recommended book!Blogroll

One Trackback/Pingback
[...] This is the first, selfproduced version of the first PLASMATICS EP. It was repressed in 1980 on Stiff Records, with different cover, different version of “Butcher Baby” and a different b-side (one might say, it was all different,haha). Every single PLASMATICS record was available on colored vinyl (often multicolored), this didn’t really occur to me until recently. And yes, my vinyl is very, very noisy. I even tried and bought another copy for a quality upgrade, but guess what. A “ex” record turned out to be a fucked up as my previous one. Oh yeah – here’s the infamous Lemmy & Wendy O. 7″. [...]
