Jane's Addiction @ John Anson Ford, October 3, 2011

2011-10-04T23:36:00.001-07:00

Here it is...

Read this awesome review of this amazing show: http://soundcheck.ocregister.com/2011/10/04/janes-addiction-fully-reinvigorated-at-ford-opener/67703/#more-67703

The show started with side 1 of "Wish You Were Here". Not bad of a mood setter.
The LA Medley is awesome.

KUCI radio show featuring Jane's Addiction's Nothing's Shocking

2010-06-27T22:00:00.000-07:00

This was quite a cool show I did. August 29, 1988, I was doing the radio show solo, as my partner, Marian, couldn't make it. She was the Hessian and I was Mooshi Oofnick, my bastardization of the pronouncing of Oscar The Grouch's name in Hebrew, which I had read in one of the trade publications advertising a "Sesame Street In Israel" syndicated radio show. It was summertime and people at the radio station were scarce. I didn't mind doing the show alone because I had plans. Just the previous week at Jane's Addiction has released their major-label debut Nothing's Shocking. I had wanted to make a cassette copy of the album for my car, so what better idea than to play the whole album on my show while recording it. I had grown up on Uncle Joe Benson's Seventh Day, a show where he played seven complete albums on Sunday nights. I figured this was an important enough album to play the entire thing. My views on this album were quite prophetic, as in less than two years Lollapalooza became all the rage with its accompanying “alternative nation” (to use a hackneyed corporate expression in lieu of a better one). Yes, “alternative” music existed before this, but I feel this was the straw that broke the camel's back or the shot heard around the world as far as modernizing music.

So now, for your listening pleasure, here is the Chant Show of the Ever Circling Vinyl edition of Jane's Addiction's “Nothing's Shocking”. This was done on one 90 minute tape, so it's probably just a portion of the show, but I have left everything in... warts and all.

Twilight Zone moment: two days later I would be in the automobile accident that changed my life forever and this album was playing… the song that was on at the time was “Standing In the Shower… Thinking”. I talk about both the Meat Puppets show I was at and the Swamp Zombies interview I was to do on Sept. 1.

A Larry/KUCI mix

2010-06-25T16:03:00.000-07:00

This is pretty cool. Years ago before the advent of CDs, there was a thing called cassette tapes. Frequent visitors may remember that I was a DJ at KUCI. Being a college radio station, I had access to a lot of stuff that wasn't in rotation elsewhere. I played a lot of the stuff on my shows… some of it becoming hugely popular in the following years. Back around 1990, or so, I didn't have any of this stuff on CD, so I took my dual cassette recorder and created a mix tape of some of the highlights and some of my favorite songs that I otherwise did not have access to. As I am currently going through my old tapes and digitizing, I digitized this one and it turned out pretty good. So, I thought it would share it. If you regularly come to this blog, you are guaranteed to enjoy this mix. If you are a “Larry fan”, you will love this mix. If you're a music snob… go elsewhere. Here's the track listing.

Peter Murphy - I've Got A Miniature Secret Camera
Spacemen 3 - Ode To Street Hassle
Replacements - I Will Dare
U2 - Walk To The Water
Pajama Slave Dancers - Jesus Skates
KUCI Inquisition
U2- Luminous Times
Silver & Gold
Saints - (I'm) Stranded
Leaving Trains - Temporal Slut
Balaam & The Angel - Running Out Of Time
Green River - Porkfist
Beatnigs - Burritos
Malcom X
Siouxsie & The Banshees - Catwalk
Redd Kross - Annette's Got The Hits
Velvet Underground - The Gift
Gang Of Four - (Love Like) Anthrax
Circle Jerks - Wild In the Streets
Glorious - Breeders
Doe - Breeders
Happiness Is A Warm Gun
Iggy Pop - 5' 1"
Dead Milkmen - Ask Me To Dance
Dead Kennedys - Viva Las Vegas
Gaye Bykers on Acid - Git Down
Anthrax - I'm the Man
Negativland - Michael Jackson

This is cool..and is included above, but I isolated it. Steve Rice, Kelley Sewell, and I made an ID (a spot "advertising" the ststion) and based it on monty Python's "Spanish Inquisition". this is the edited version, but there is a longer one somewhere..

Henry Rollins dissects The Damned's "Black Album"

2010-05-17T16:20:00.001-07:00

In hipster circles, it is just accepted fact that one of the classic albums of punk history is The Black Album by the Damned. Elder Statesman Henry Rollins, on his KCRW show, presented the album in its entirety with b-sides and information.

I give you this show, in its entirety:

Cult Music Without Fear fan documentary

2010-04-20T22:37:00.000-07:00

Here is a series of edited clips which combine to be the whole documentary included on the Music Without Fear DVD. I can be seen interspersed throughout the documentary. When I got there, I was about halfway through the line. I didn't have any laminate because I had purchased mine in Orange County. This was at the Sunset Strip Tower Records. An employee initially confronted me for not having a laminate, but then not only got one for me but brought me to the front of the line. I was first in to see them. I had my service dog, Hawk, with me. When they brought me in, all of the band got off the platform, except Ian. He was apparently "too cool" to come down and see me. The other guys were really cool. Matt, the drummer, was really into Hawk. He had a dog at home who could not go on tour with them. Unfortunately, Hawk did not visibly get in the shot, however you can see Matt petting him.
There was a "secret show" at the Whiskey that night. You needed to get the special laminate though. I asked the band where I could get one, and they directed me to an assistant who got one for me. The show was really cool... but they went on way late. I had my friend watching Hawk while I went to the show, and so I had to get going. I saw about three songs. Then, I proceeded to get lost finding my friend (he was only a couple blocks away).
All in all, a great experience.
I am seen in Part 1 at 3:15, 3:57, and 5:48
and Part 2 at 2:18

Malcolm McLaren (RIA) on Jonesy's Jukebox

2010-04-11T21:11:00.001-07:00

Alright... I've been holding on to all my Jonesy's Jukeboxes and will set them free at appropriate times. This is an appropriate time for this one as Malcolm McLaren died last week. He had a rather contentious relationship with the band, as most managers do. Apparently a lot of money didn't go to the band but went to him. Of course, none of the band members would have a career without him. Also, a lot of people would not have a career without him (are you listening Green Day, Offspring, NOFX, etc., etc.?) Anyhow, in tribute to Malcolm, I present to you his very enlightening and entertaining interview with Jonesy. Also, I found a mashup credited to him which blends "Love Will Keep Us Together" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart".

The interview is not in full because they went over due to him coming in late. This was such an important interviewee, they let it run over. Well, I only had my computer set to record the regular time.

RIA, McLaren (Rest In Anarchy).
