Comment:
My tribute to a man whose music mashed Albert Ayler, James Brown, Chic, Talking Heads and Captain Beefheart into a hyperkinetic blender and made a mixture all his own. This was actually tougher to compile than I thought it would be, but I think it worked out. FYI, I edited 1:07 from "The Devil Made Me Do It" (with a 20-second fade) to fit all of this onto 80 minutes.Feedback:
A well-deserved and well-selected tribute. Lots of great music (and memories) here!
brilliant stuff, once upon a time I got that 12" called Grutzi Elvis or something like that, can you give me the tracklist to that one please
"I only live on the surface, I don't think people are very pretty inside..." Buy is a great cd. The rest I haven't heard yet... I was thinking of doing a mix of the Contortions with John Zorn and the Slammin' Watusis.
Fuckin' killer! I'd have a hard time compiling this as well since I think all the Contortions stuff is amazing. Good picks from the rest of James' output, but Stained Sheets (missing here) has been a mix-tape monkeywrench favorite of mine for years.
nice! i love james chance & the contortions. i've only heard "Buy" though
Another artist I've heard too little of, but I sure do like "Contort Yourself."
From your description this dude looks like something right up my alley. I will pursue.
I ditto Salman...I will be checking this out.
I'm in the dark... but curious.
Heart attack. I must have it. I only own Buy and White Cannibal, so it is necessary that I acquire this slab of rock. Do I have any saxophone histrionics that interest you?
We'll will have to do this one sometime Rob!
Have to admit I've heard zilch from this!
awesome stuff, man. i loves me some contortions.
Is this one of those punk bands?
This is a mystery to me, I'm afraid! According to the comments below, looks worth checking out though.
this is the new york no-wave guy, right? only heard one thing from the cortortions - and what a glorious wig-out it was!
Wonderful stuff. I had his first three albums from 79-80 but lost track of him after that. Recently picked up his 2004 compilation Sax Education which is a good intro and includes a live bonus disc. Of couse this mix here is awesome too.
KUUUUDos! An excellent and necessary compliation!
Cool tribute! Gotta hear this soon, man!
Contort yourself! James Chance is to James Brown as James White is to Jesse James, or something like that . . . I'm sure you have a trade list six feet long but if I could get on it for this, I sure would!
