RAY SARGE Issue #1

For a time now then ever, I have would did and put together a thought of a sequence of stuff I thought Yes! Yes! to and sighed in satisfaction after. So much it was like Whoa, I cannot. But yes, I had the always chance and here it can be, and worthy to give thanks for. An opportunity always for an expression not so full of AIDS and crusty cum used tampons and abortion parts. A time is always for a thing that a thing that was not a thing would not believe to be a thing should say, which is: HERE IS A GOODNESS.


PART ONE:



In a little while you will be alone in shoreless space, to wander its limitless solitudes without friend or comrade forever--for you will remain a thought, the only existent thought, and by your nature inextinguishable, indestructible. But I, your poor servant, have revealed you to yourself and set you free. Dream other dreams, and better!...You perceive, now, that these things are all impossible except in a dream. You perceive that they are pure and puerile insanities, the silly creations of an imagination that is not conscious of its freaks - in a word, that they are a dream, and you the maker of it. The dream-marks are all present; you should have recognized them earlier. It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream - a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought - a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities! -- Mark Twain, No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger


PART TWO:



And wild beasts shall rest there
And owls shall answer one another there
And the hairy ones shall dance there
And sirens in the temples of pleasure
-- Isiah 13, 21-22


PART THREE:




When I go into my psyche, at a certain point I meet a very hostile, very strong force. It’s as definite as somebody attacking me in a bar. We usually come to a standoff, but I don’t think that I’m necessarily winning or losing […]. Listen, baby, I’ve been coping with this for so many years. I know this invasion gets in. As soon as you get close to something important, that’s when you feel this invasion, and that’s the way you know there’s something there. I’ve felt myself just marched up like a puppy to go and do something that would get me insulted or humiliated. I was not in control […]. There are all degrees of possession. It happens all the time. What you have to do is confront the possession. You can do that only when you’ve wiped out the words. You don’t argue […]. You have to let it wash through. This is difficult, difficult; but I’ll tell you one thing: You detach yourself and allow this to wash through, to go through instead of trying to oppose, which you can’t do […]. The more you pull yourself together the further apart you get. You have to learn to let the thing pass through. I am a man of the world; I understand these things. They happen to all of us. All you have to do is understand them or see them for what they are, that’s all. -- William Burroughs, A Report From the Bunker


PART FOUR:



Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes;
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea of change
Into something rich and strange.
-- Shakespeare, The Tempest

Mother London




Since Sledg has invited me to contribute here, I thought it only fitting to dedicate my first entry to him. I know he plans escaping LA to get back to Portland in the not so distant future, so here is a mix (full of old man music I am afraid) about the sprawling metropolis I escaped from yet miss every minute of every day...London.

I have been away from it now for almost five years, but had lived most of my life there up to that point. After all that time in a city of 8 million people plus, my current life in a small agricultural town in California's Central Valley is vastly different. I miss London to be sure, the city is in my blood, but it is only since I left that I have realised how crazy, dangerous and destructive life in such a place can be. If you do the transition the other way, from small town to behemoth as Sledg did, then you are bound to see the scary shit more clearly. For much of the time I was too busy living to notice the insanity going on around me. Now I can look back at the madness with a heady mixture of relief and nostalgia. I am a big city boy at heart, the pulse of London ran in time WITH my own for so many years, and I can't help looking back with more affection than I am sure Sledg has for LA. So here is my anecdote heavy homage to my home town. If LA is the city of angels and New York is the city that never sleeps, London is the city that often sleeps with it's best friend's wife and wakes up with a huge hangover and cold take away food stuck to the mattress. I give you Johnny Luddite's London...


1. WATERLOO SUNSET - THE KINKS  (3:17) (Something Else By The Kinks)

I was brought up in a fairly leafy suburb to the North of London called Finchley. Although we were less than ten miles from the center of the city, visits to "London" were regarded as special treats, Sunday bus rides to Oxford Street, vacation time trips to museums, exhibitions, riverboat trips, etc. There is a sense of wonder in Ray Davies song which when all said and done is about a very grimy not so pretty part of London that I have always identified with. It matches how I felt on these trips. 

2. CAN'T EXPLAIN - THE WHO (2:08) (Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy)

Sunday afternoons when I was a kid often meant an 11 mile bus trip through London to see my Grandmother in Fulham, right round the corner from Chelsea football ground. This was the sixties, and on that journey on the 28 bus, I saw a fairly representative cross section of London as it was at the time. We would leave Golders Green with it's trees and large houses, through West Hampstead, one of the bastions of the British blues boom. I remember seeing "Clapton is God" written on a railway bridge and wondering what his first name was. Surely not something as silly as Eric? The bus carried on through a predominantly Irish Catholic area where church collections famously featured two plates, one for the church, one for Sinn Fein. Then the bus would go through Notting Hill Gate. In those days before Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant ruined it for everyone, much of the area was a West Indian ghetto. Even as a kid, some of these streets looked dangerous yet exciting. Within a few years, Britain would have it's first race riots here, just a mile or so from posh Kensington, the buses next call. I would stare at the fancy stores such as the boutique Biba's where The New York Dolls would make their London debut. Then we would be in Fulham, and a strange couple of hours with my creepy Gran. Her nephew Nigel lived there as well, and he was alright. He had a job changing the records in juke boxes and he would always take my sister and I into his room, play us records he had brought home, and give us a few to take home with us. He was a rocker, into the Stones, Elvis, the Everleys, all the old school stuff, while my sister was a mod, perched on the back of her boyfriends Lambretta whenever my dad wasn't watching. The Who, the Kinks, the Small Faces, they were the mod bands she followed, and so the first ones I was exposed to.

3. LAZY SUNDAY - THE SMALL FACES (3:06) (Ogden's Nut Gone Flake)

So many English bands had these strange American accents when they sang, but not the Small Faces. Vocalist Stevie Marriott had this cheeky cockney chappie persona that fitted my young adolescent view of what I perceived a true Londoner to be.  Add that to the slightly laboured psychedelia of their later work and we have a uniquely sixties London sound. "Hello Mrs Brown, How's your Bert's lumbago? Mustn't grumble." Years later, i saw Marriott on the way down when he used to play gigs at the Torrington pub in Finchley to cover that days coke. He would say things like  "Hello mates. Why would you leave your Sunday dinners to come and see a little cunt like me then?" The answer to that was that on a good day he could still play "All Or Nothing" like he meant it.

4. MOTHER GOOSE - JETHRO TULL (3:53) (Aqualung)

A lot of my teenage mad dog days happened in Hampstead Village and Highgate Village. These were affluent conurbations either side of Hampstead Heath, a large area of semi wild parkland to the north of Central London. Of course they are not real villages, rather they are expensive tracts of real estate full of arty farty folk, overpriced bars and shops, Swedish Au Pairs and in the 70s, my friends and I. Jethro Tull's Aqualung album was set in around Hampstead and Highgate and this song seems to capture the fun and the falseness of the place better than I ever could.

5. ANARCHY IN THE UK - THE SEX PISTOLS (3:31) (Never Mind The Bollocks...)

The music press always spoke of 1977 as the 'Summer Of Punk', but to me the scene was already decaying by then. There is a school of thought that UK punk died the moment The damned released "New Rose" as a single and condemned it to being just another sub genre of rock for the music biz to market the hell out of. One day I was loitering around the West End with a few others when we spotted Sid Vicious. With amazing banality, we decided to follow him along Oxford Street. I don't know what we were expecting, maybe for him to murder a group of school children or bite the head off of a live chicken or something. As it was, he chewed a little gum and went to a management office in the part of Soho known as 'Tinpan'. What lives we led!

6. LONDON CALLING - THE CLASH (3:23) (London Calling)

London was a pretty dangerous place in the 70s. Rising crime, soccer hooliganism, the constant threat of IRA bombs, and also the unrest caused by the National Front, presumed to be a racist Nazi organisation that was much loved by skinheads and other bastards. People like me turned up at anti racist rallies and marches because, yeah, we did hate those clowns, but to be honest it had as much to do with the fun of it, the bands that played, the chance of a fight, all kinds of things. One Sunday march led through London's East End, once a Jewish ghetto and latterly the home of London's Bengali and Bangla Deshi communities. I had been up most of the night before, up early, and by the time we got to Victoria Park, where the post march gig was being held, I was ready to fall asleep, which I promptly did. I woke up with what I can only describe as a catastrophic shock. We were towards the back of the park, I was propped up against a tree. Behind me was a truck and on the back the reggae band Steel Plus had set up. The first few chords of their signature tune, "Klu Klux Klan" almost sent me up to the uppermost tree branches! By the time my heart returned to almost normal, the Clash had taken to the stage, delivering the finest rock set I have ever heard in my life. 

7. NIGHT BOAT TO CAIRO - MADNESS (3:31) (One Step Beyond...)

Madness, the Nutty Boys from Camden Town. Part ska band, part music hall act. Round about 1980, just before Christmas, I was with some old friends eating at George Tilley's "Ruby In The Dust" diner on Camden High St. We were all going on to a costume party later, I was dressed as a thirties gangster, but then I liked dressing like that anyway. The diner was pretty small, we were all gathered on a long table on one side of the place, while on the other side there was a stag party for Suggs, lead singer of Madness. The whole band was there, singing along to tapes of old Beatles stuff. After much eating and much more drinking, one of the nutty boys asked if we could sing some shitty songs. Immediately we went into a rendition of 'Madness, madness, they call it madness' at which point a food fight of epic proportions followed. Camden wasn't exactly the safest place to be at night if you were wandering the streets, but for that night where we were the most you were going to come away with was some custard and mashed potato on your forehead.

8. DOWN IN THE TUBE STATION AT MIDNIGHT - THE JAM (4:03) (All Mod Cons)

Big cities spawn violence. No doubt about it, London, or at least parts of it, have been rough to live in, work near or pass through. I had my pocket pinched on the tube, I had a confrontation like the one in the song at Old Street Tube station that ended badly for me. I've seen a guy get his eye gouged out in a glassing, other stuff. That last incident took place in my safe home suburb of Finchley. Islington, where I went to college in the 90's is the Murder capital of Britain. But, all told, I felt safe in London because it was my city, the place I had been born to. I know realise that to some extent that confidence was misplaced, but at the time I had this misguided notion that London would protect me somehow.

9. TOWERS OF LONDON - XTC (5:24) (The Black Sea)

London is not the most beautiful city on earth, but I could and did walk for hours and hours soaking up the architecture, the feel of it's mean and often soggy streets. I liked walking around seedy areas such as Soho as much as the more touristy places. Grey Victorian palaces of inconsideratilon bordered by trees, canal tow paths, the historical blending with the hysterical by the river Thames. I loved walking along the South Bank from Embankment tube station, over the footbridge, along past the Festival Hall, National Theater, etc all the way down to the recreation of Shakespeares Globe. Elizabethan London fascinated me, the idea that in some ways London life then was as it is now, albeit with slightly less poo and piss being thrown out of windows and a distinct lack of bear baiting. I would walk round the Tower Of London on the North side of the Thames and compile lists in my head of the people I would like to imprison there. I can still remember such lists, and they are being added to all the time. Be warned my friends.

10. CEMETARIES OF LONDON - COLDPLAY (3:21) (Viva La Vida)

I used to spend hours wandering round some of the more interesting cemetaries in London. the most famous is probably Highgate Cemetary. The older more decaying section is a spooky yet wonderfully peaceful place full of fallen monuments, overgrown shrubbery and bird and wildlife unique to that environment. I also loved to spend time in Marylebone cemetary in Finchley. It is the final resting place of Little Tich, a music hall performer in the early 20th century whose act comprised of using an amazingly long pair of shoes as stilts. There is ancient film of this around. A life-size carving of his shoes can be found on his grave-site. My best friend and my Mum and Dad are sadly there too, so it is a special place for me.

11. FUCK OFF AND DIE - THE METEORS (2:59) (Psycho Down)

You don't realise what an unfriendly place London can be till you spend some time somewhere else. I worked in Birmingham for a while, not a place especially known for it's hospitality, yet I couldn't help but notice that if strangers spoke to you, it wasn't just to insult you, get directions or sell you drugs. Some folk would actually say hello, shop keepers would say thank-you. It was very strange, not the London way at all. In London the best policy seems to be to ignore whatever is happening around you in the hope that whatever it is doesn't happen to you. Cheerful welcoming cockneys singing jovial tunes and inviting you down to the old Bull & Bush might happen in Thirties movies but I never saw it. Back in the early sixties my Mum was out with my Grandma when the old lady had what appeared to be a stroke. Sher was on the ground and my Mum was desperately looking for someone to help. Cars and pedestrians ignored her for over an hour. The same kind of people who would be offended by the title of this song by North London's very own kings of psychobilly would probably be the most likely ones to ignore a call for help like the one my Mum made that day. Funny old world isn't it.

12. LONDON DUNGEON - THE MISFITS (2:27) (The Necronomicon)

There is of course a dark underbelly to just about every place there is, it is just that London's was darker and grosser than most. Whatever you wanted was out there if you wanted it, as was a lot of stuff you didn't want. I walked into a pub called The Prince William with a girl friend one time. I knew it was a gay pub but I have to admit I was shocked by the sight of over 70's S&M leatherboys eyeing up the new meat. Once it registered that was me I was more uncomfortable than a very uncomfortable thing. It was at this point that Carol, the girl I was with, spotted a portrait of H.R.H Elizabeth II. "Oh look, it's the Queen" she yelped. I swear that every soul in that place turned round in recognition.

13. JACK THE RIPPER - MOTORHEAD (4:39) (March Or Die)

If the dark flabby underbelly we speak of is that of the past, then of course we become ultra fascinated with it. Novelist Patricia Cornwall has become one of the latest scribes to offer a published solution to the Jack The Ripper murders. there are loads of old unsolved murders in Richmond, VA or anywhere else for that matter, but there isn't the potential readership there that there is for a book about old Jack. All the elements are there. Olde London Town, fog, dead prostitutes, possible Royal involvement. London has great history, brilliant history, but come on people, this is not it! You can go and see the Guildhall, pretty much as it was the day Shakespeare premiered "Twelfth Night" there, you can see Roman ruins, the British Museum has all the swag from hundreds of years of plundering, tons of good stuff. The British Library reading room has items that will make you cry tears of joy if you are at all human like Lennon's hand written lyrics to 'In My Life", sheet music penned by the hands of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven  and Handel. They have Shakespeare's signature there for goodness sake. But there will still be more people pouring to the fictional home of the equally fictional Sherlock Holmes, folk who want to walk where the Ripper walked and generally get their London experience from Hollywood rather than London itself. Shame.

14. SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL - IAN DRURY (3:21) (New Boots & Panties)

In the many years I lived there, London nightlife was always evolving in some way. there were constants like theater-land, the food and flavor of China Town and always some kind of clubbing. Everything from 70s disco to Goth haunts like the Thursday night Kitcat club under the arches at Charing Cross. It was fun watching the cute Japanese tourists dancing to Alien Sex-Fiend. Gigs were plentiful, you could see most of the bands you wanted to see in the course of a year. It was a great party town and all the things that made the party swing were readily available. (Party favors, jello & ice cream, that kind of thing.)

15. STREETS OF LONDON - THE ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE (3:16) (We Are The .. League)

London is so vast, one mixtape couldn't cover it. It is a frightening, wonderful, grimy, beautiful place and I miss it. I have a different life now, one that suits my situation. the town I live in is tiny compared with London, but I feel less safe than I ever did back home. Maybe this is all about your home town eclipsing any other place you wind up in.  Yeah, escape from L.A Sledg. If it was good enough for Snake Pliskin, it's good enough for you!


There will be a link to this mix very soon. Cheers!

Michael Joseph Jackson


I have long considered Michael Jackson jokes to be lazy attempts at comedy. Kind of like making fun of retarded people.

Anyway, yes, he's a freak, everyone needs to get over it. He also needs to go ahead and stop trying to be famous because thats just making it worse for him.

The thing about Michael Jackson that people tend to overlook is that HES BEEN FAMOUS HIS WHOLE FUCKING LIFE. He most likely has few, if any, memories of not being famous. Now I dont know if anyone has noticed, but fame fucks up peoples brains. Look at Tom Cruise. Or anyone else for that matter. Add to that the level of fame MJ had. Add to that child abuse and Jehovah's Witness upbringing (Michael isnt the only Jackson that is bonkers). It all equals having no idea of what reality is. Another thing that people overlook is how much Michael Jackson had dedicated to making the world a better, happier, more peaceful place. He also was very interested in pushing the medium of the music video in amazingly creative directions. Think about that for a sec. How long has it been since we've seen a pop star who's had that much imagination?

So like I said, yeah he's crazy, but get over it. Although I still cant stick up for the likely inappropriate behavior with children. He's on his own on that one. As Dave Chappelle said, "But He made Thriller, man."

Anyway here are my favorite MJ songs:

1. Baby Be Mine - Track 2 - Thriller

2. P.Y.T. - Track 8 - Thriller

3. Rock With You - Track 2 - Off the Wall

4. Another Part of Me - Track 6 - Bad

5. Tie: Remember the Time/Give in to Me - Track 5/ Track 10 - Dangerous

6. Dirty Diana - Track 9 - Bad

7. Get on the Floor - Track 4 - Off the Wall

Hello!


Hi there.

I'm going to make an effort to post a new mix on this here site once a week. Chances are it will be every two weeks though. Eventually I will have contributors that will help me keep this site active.

As a fan of music, all kinds shapes and sounds, I will post recommendations from time to time. I would like to someday include vinyl rips on this site also. But that will be in the future. Far future.

I hope you enjoy.

5 Albums that have really been giving me a boner lately:

1. Baby Huey - The Baby Huey Story
One of my favorite Soul/Funk/R n B albums I have ever heard. About two days after I got this album I saw the trailer for the looks-to-be-awesome film JCVD and coincidentally it features one of my favorite songs on the album, "Hard Times." I cant wait to see the movie.

2. Eagles of Death Metal - Heart On
This seems to be my favorite of theirs so far. Their sound gets progressively fuller with each album and they seem to have gone from a sort of fun novelty band to and actual real fun rock n roll band. Fellas, if you want sexy chicks all up in your business, rock this shit.

3. Squarepusher - Just A Souvenir
This album weirds me the fuck out. Its been awhile since Ive listened to a whole album of Squarepusher. I would describe this album as "Shiney Gross." Meaning a lot of it sounds like weird samples and songs you would find on a Peanut butter Wolf mixtape or you would find on some strange record you would buy for fifty cents and a goodwill. But fuck, it all stays in your head and won't go away.

4. Harvey Milk - Life...The Best Game in Town
YES! Its funny how adding Joe Preston to the group made this band sound a lot like the Thrones. That's not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned. This is one of the best albums to come out this year.

5. Bohren und Der Club of Gore - Dolores
Spooky jazz from Germany. I am a big fan of these guys. They used to be a hardcore band from what I hear, but somehow over the years morphed into this. It reminds me of a David Lynch movie or something kind of like that. For mellow nights.

6. The Heroine Sheiks - Out of Aferica
I don't know much about this band except that it's the singer from The Cows new band. I think this is their third album, but I am not sure. Anyway, this shit is all over the place in just the right way and silly as fuck. Rockin' also.

7. Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death - Old Jail EP
Im gonna warn you now: You are gonna see a lot of these guys on this blog. A lot of people have nothing but hatred for this band which both doesnt surprise me cuz people are retarded, but also blows my mind because I cant help but feel genuine excitement when I see them play or listen to their albums. This is another band that is all over the place with each album having a different thing going on with it. This EP is my favorite thing they have released yet. band features Spencer Moody (Dead Low Tide, Smoke and Smoke, Rabbit Ears, Hookers, John and Spencer Booze Explosion) and Dann Gallucci (Modest Mouse, A Gun Called Tension, Deathwish Kids), who were both in one of my all-time favs, The Murder City Devils. Corey Brewer (aka Merchbot 2000 to MCD fans) co-founded the band with Moody, and in the last couple years they added Gallucci, Andrea Zollo (Pretty Girls Make Graves), and an awesome fellow named Joel Cuplin who seems to play bass and saxaphone. Anyways, if you like to hear bands that do different things check them out. I have posted a link to their myspace in my Rad Awesome section.

Thats it and thats all for now.
