Comment:
Continued from previous mix.Some people lift an eyebrow at hearing that his nickname is "Wad" and mine is "Doowad", but it doesn't mean "I do Wad" (or "did Wad", even though Steve always introduces me as the "guy I lived with in Mexico" to which I add "but we're just friends now". "Wad" comes from all meanings of the word, Steve, as calm as he was, at times would lose patience (especially with us) and just shoot his wad, spouting off about God knows what. Also, he would get bothered by certain things and just kind of "wad up" like crumbled paper.
So, Tim was pretty much the source for both our nicknames. At parties, I would be like Cassady on Bennies, acting as Steve's surrogate hands, helping with `refreshment' (beer or otherwise), putting on miscellaneous visual or aural stimuli, fixing snacks, etc. I would get going so much that Tim called me "Do it all Doowad", inspired by some Ella "doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah".Actually, these CDs were made for the after-party for the fundraiser to buy Steve a new van. Second time he has been victimized as a quad. The first time, a friend of a later roommate ripped off about 100 CDs out of his collection (Zappa/Bowie/Mott/Pistols/The Damned/Standells/Who/all kinds of blues), and now his van that took him all over Mexico including the piramide del sol en Teotihuacßn.
Steve is philosophical about these losers and figures "anyone willing to steal from a gimp is gonna have Karma bite him the arse sooner than later" (paraphrased with liberties). The mix tapes I made with him were mostly done when he had gone to bed (and Tim was out with the zapatona), with him shouting out instructions and tips from the bedroom. To this day, my mixes still follow the same kind of ebb and flow of rhythm, melody and tone as songs are linked musically, lyrically, historically, contextually, solipsistically, antithetically or otherwise. As explained in Foelsch Sampler #3, Steve's baby brother kind of undid the nice collection of `Foelsch Samplers' I had put together, which is why these four CDs are not in the sequence, though they are pretty much in the same vein, with a couple of doowad touches here , and there .Sorry for tanto rollo, click here for the mix.As a final note, here is video of Wad before he was Wad, at 18 and lead singer for Proud Young Men, late of Crestwood, MO:
Feedback:
oh-my-oh-my....
Really great tribute to an obviously influential friend. I can soooo relate to these mixes. Nicely done!
