C'est la Vie de Nouveau

I have been known to do my share of megaposts around this dump where I take an extensive look at a particular artist or labels past catalogue. These deep dives are always the most visited & most heavily downloaded. 

Of course the fact that there are numerous choices on these shares is one of the reasons for their popularity. 

Japan, Jamaica, & Mongolia lead the way in the Musick Around the World posts while Come on Feel the Noise (Angel’N Heavy Syrup & associated bands), Absolute Equinox (Surrealism), & Any Anxiety (Little Annie Anxiety Bandez) still reel'em in, but the all time Leader of the Pack is C'est la Vie, an in-depth look at the work of the late great Woody Dumas & his C'est la Mort label.

I have often thought of doing a follow-up to that post: C'est la Mort part 2. Finally found time to do just that. On the first share I told the story of C'est la Mort & Little Woody, but it's only fitting I give a bit of history here. 

 



Woodrow "Little Woody" Dumas came from Baker, Louisiana. He began his Dr. Death radio show on KLSU, December 1983. KLSU radio is the Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA non-commercial college alternative station transmitting at 23,000 watts with about a 50 mile radius range. 

 



Woody's Dr. Death show was probably the first US radio broadcast of bands like the Legendary Pink Dots, Beautiful Pea Green Boat, Front Line Assembly, Eden, Heavenly Bodies, or Eleven Shadows. The radio show led to a mail order business known as Deadly Records that Dumas ran off his porch at home in Baker. The mail order eventually became the C'est la Mort label itself. 

C'est la Mort was small but influential independent record label that specialized in ethereal, ambient, dream pop, & darkwave bands again run out of Woody's home in Baker from 1984 to 1994. In addition to albums released for individual acts, there were five Dr. Death compilation albums released (numbered Vol. 1 - Vol. 6, there is no Volume 2. It was intended as a compilation of cover tunes but never saw release).

Let's start out with Dr. Death Vol 5...

Outstanding Debts...Playing the Nelson Bill

Frenz of NSS Richie Muster recently let me know about some dead links for some Nelson Bills I had paid in the past. I tried to fix those up. That was just another reminder that I hadn't played my past due Bills in quite some time. So it's about time to play my Nelson Bill & get that out of the way. Think I'll make a double playment to avoid the extra late fees.

 



On his Dreamsville website, Bill sez:
     "Custom Deluxe is an album of guitar instrumentals issued in a one-off print run on the Universal Twang label. The album was one of three simultaneous released albums, issued at the start of the Be Bop Deluxe and Beyond tour. At the end of the tour the album was sold exclusively through S.O.S. Custom Deluxe sold out within 12 months of its release, and Nelson retired the Universal Twang label with this release."

     "Orpheus in Ultraland is an album of mainly vocal pieces issued exclusively for Nelsonica ‘05 on the newly created Discs of Ancient Odeon label. Due to problems with delivery of the artwork, Nelsonica 05 attendees were issued copies of the album in a plain jewel case with the artwork distributed by post on 23 November. The remaining 250 or so copies were available with complete artwork at the merchandise desk on Nelson’s 6 November UK tour. After the tour, the small number of copies that remained were sold through SOS. Within a day or so these were snapped up. On November 28 an announcement was made that the album had completely sold out."

Outstanding Debts...Playing the Burroughs Bill

Sometimes its hard to dig into the pocket & drag out what it takes when the Bills come due. I never seem to have that trouble when it comes to the Burroughs Bill. 

 



Something about that gravelly voiced old curmudgeon just makes me smile. I alway walk away from playing the Burroughs Bill with some heavy ideas rattling around my noggin. Makes me feel good to be a Johnson & know there are still a bunch a folks out there that aren't going to put up with the no-good shits that can’t mind their own business.

This one is kinda different from the usual that I share.

Here's an interesting one. Häxan - Witchcraft Through the Ages is a 1922 silent film by Benjamin Christensen. It utilizes a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scary, gross, & darkly humorous lore of the witches of the Middle Ages, featuring grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns, & a satanic Sabbat. It was censored in many countries at that time for its graphic depictions of the occult, torture, nudity, & sexual perversion.

In 1968 the film was released with an eclectic jazz score by Daniel Humair played by a quintet including Jean-Luc Ponty on violin & Daniel Humair on percussion. It was dramatically narrated by William S. Burroughs. This is the Un-OST. So sit back & be scared...OoOoOoO!!! Or find a copy of the film & listen while you watch (this is the 77m version).

Outstanding Debts...Playing the Laswell Bill

It's the first of the month...the vultures are circling, they smell fresh blood.

The debt collectors have been hounding me like wolves around a wounded elk. It's been a long time since I played my Bills. I always have three Bills to play, my Nelson Bill, my Laswell Bill, & my Burroughs Bill. I was playing them on a regular basis, but recently funs have been tight & I haven't been doing my dootie.

So for the next three shares I'll try to get caught up by playing all three Bills. I don't want my credit ratings to tank. 
 
 


I guess I'll start with my Laswell Bill. 
 
Back in September 2022, Bill was stricken with medical issues (go read "Help One of the Good Ones" here if you're not familiar with his problems). He has not been able to perform or produce others since then. It has been quite a financial burden. So I want to make sure I'm not taking any geld from Bill's pocket. Therefore I'm playing the Laswell Bill with a compilation of tunes that I find appropriate.

Laughing Sam...for Jonder

Starting off this month with a leftover from March centering on the suggestion from a Frenz of NSS.
Here I'm going to serve up a share for one of my longest-suffering Frenz around here, jonder.


Since October 2022 I've leaked some tracks from Bukowski in Dub. My friend Jonder of jonderblog Jokonky blog has been a big fan of the album. Last time I shared a Bukowski track (December 2024) jonder sez:
     "Looking forward to the sequel, Dukowski in Dub."

Jonder's such a jokester.

But here's the first track... 

 

Chuck Dukowski - Dukowski in Dub, EP Records #6923, 1999.


Laughing Sam's Dice Rolled Thirty Six Times.

March Beyond the R

Here's a final share for the month. 
 

 

Vivien Goldman is a true Renaissance woman. She is a UK writer, journalist, & musician. She primarily came to my attention by her work with Adrian Sherwood, on the song "P.A. (Private Armies) Dub" from the New Age Steppers self- titled debut, & writing credits for "Sly" by Massive Attack.

Other than that, she was one of the PR heads at Atlantic Records, then Island Records. She was Bob Marley's UK publicist. She was writer & editor for Sounds magazine. She was a member of The Flying Lizards. She was a writer for NME & Melody Maker. She was Chrissie Hyndes' flat-mate.

In the early 80s Goldman lived in Paris for a year and a half, where she was a member of new wave duo Chantage along with Eve Blouin. Here's a single from that group. Some of the performers here: George Oban - bass; Style Scott - drums; Deadly Headley - horns; Steve Beresford - piano with Adrian Sherwood producing.

Musick that Needed Work - R: Roy Montgomery

 

Finally made it through the R folder. More than I Remembered. & they just get deeper for the next two: S & T. Might hold off for a few, even though I'm trying to get through to Z.

This is a recent addition to the Musick that Needed Work folder. I'm glad it hasn't taken ten years to fix this one. This is some fine music here. I'm glad I worked on this one. It is one of my very favorites.

 



Roy Montgomery is a composer, singer, guitarist, & lecturer from Christchurch, New Zealand. He is one of the most significant musicians of the 1990s New Zealand music scene. Montgomery's mostly instrumental solo works have elements of post-rock, lo-fi, folk & avant-garde experimentation. His signature sound might be described as atmospheric or cinematic, often featuring complex layers of chiming, echoing &/or droning guitar phrases. He created a successful hybrid of all these styles with his ensembles Dadamah, Dissolve, & Hash Jar Tempo.

In 2021 the still very active Montgomery released four albums: Island of Lost Souls that contains the 22-minute "The Electric Children of Hildegard Von Bingen"; That Best Forgotten Work, presumably a collection of leftovers & rarities; Rhymes of Chance which collects instrumentals, songs performed by him as well as songs performed by Emma Johnston: & Audiotherapy, a collection of leftovers & rarities ranging from the spoken-word piece "Occlusione" to the instrumental "Audiomemory".

Musick that Needed Work - R: Roger C. Reale & Rue Morgue

 

Although these cats were known as Roger C. Reale & Rue Morgue, we're all probably a lot more familiar with Rue Morgue alum G.E. Smith & Hilly Michaels. 

 



The band only released two albums: Radioactive in 1978 & Reptiles in Motion in 2019 as well as the compilation shared here. 

Reptiles in Motion was recorded in 1979. It featured Mick Ronson taking G.E. Smith's place on guitar. It was meant as a follow-up to Radioactive but remained shelved until 2019. RIM was released on Rave On Records, basically a vanity label for the two bands The Reducers & Heap. Roger C. Reale had provided vocals for The Reducers 1988 Wake the Neighbors release.

Also in 2019 Rave On released this compilation that contains both of the Rue Morgue offerings. The Radioactive set contains all twelve tracks as per the UK version (the US version was only ten tracks with "Rescue Me" & "Close Inspection" missing).

Musick that Needed Work - R: Rachid Taha

 

Rachid Taha was a French-Algerian singer best known for fusing rock with raï, a form of traditional Algerian folk. Taha was born in 1958 in Algeria but moved to Lyon, France with his family at age 10. In his early twenties, he founded the nightclub Les Refoulés (The Rejects) where he created multi-cultural mash-ups by splicing elements of Arabic pop songs with backbeats from artists as varied as Led Zeppelin, Bo Diddley, & Kraftwerk.

 



Taha emerged as a solo artist in the late 80s. Steve Hillage, former guitarist of psych-prog outfit Gong produced the majority of Taha's catalogue which utilized punk to raï to electronica. The singer's final LP, 2013s Zoom, featured guest spots from Brian Eno & Clash guitarist Mick Jones.

This CD was released after Taha's 2018 death. It is as varied as usual & a great example of the man's creative excellence.

Musick that Needed Work - R: R. Stevie Moore

 

R. Stevie Moore is known as the Godfather of Home Recording. He is probably the best known artist to come out of the mid 70s cassette tape underground, a DIY movement of self expression centered around home-made cassettes of both music & spoken word that allowed musicians & writers to easily, economically release their material.



In 2019, Bar/None released Afterlife, a compilation of Moore tracks that were recorded at professional studios between 2006 & 2013. The album also features contributions from Ariel Pink, Jason Falkner, & Lane Steinberg. Most of the selections are remakes of decades old songs.

On December 31, 2019, Moore posted on his website that he would be doing no further song writing, recording, performing, travelling, or interviews.

Musick that Needed Work - R: Randy Jacobs

 

Randy Jacobs was born in San Francisco & raised in Detroit. He started playing a music at the age of 13. After graduating from high school, Jacobs worked with former Miles Davis bassist/singer Michael Henderson. He co-authored the Top-Five R&B hit, "Wide Receiver." After a number of years working in the Motown scene Jacobs became one of the core members of Was (Not Was). While with the band, Jacobs co-authored the Top-Ten hit "Walk the Dinosaur" (here).

 



After Was (Not Was) disbanded he became a member of Soul Mission, a gospel R&B project featuring Tata Vega, Mavis Staples, Booker T Jones & Steve Cropper. In 1994 he formed his own outfit The Boneshakers, finally realizing his vision of funk, blues, R&B, rock  soul. He released two CDs, Book of Spells (here) & Shake the Planet both featuring his longtime Was (Not Was) band mate Sweetpea Atkinson on vocals for Pointblank/Virgin Records.

In 2005 Randy released From Me to You, his first jazz influenced solo instrumental CD on his Bad Monkey Recordings label. With appearances from Mindy Abair, Andre Berry, Rick Braun, Euge Groove, Wendy Moten, Bob Sheppard, Wayman Tisdale & co-producer Jon Gilutin.

Musick that Needed Work - R: Re-Flex

  
This one could have remained where it has be languishing all these years but I'm trying to empty out the folder so I gave it the treatment, fixing it up. Some of you may like it & that's fine. I'm just not a big Brit wavish synth-pop fan. 
 



Re-Flex was a British electro pop group featuring John Baxter (guitar / vocals), Paul Fishman (keyboards / vocals), Nigel Ross-Scott (bass), & Roland Kerridge (drums). Their only big hit song "The Politics of  Dancing" was recorded in 1982, released in the U.S. in 1984. It reached #24 on the Billboard charts & has since become a new wave radio classic. The follow-up single "Hurt" hit the Billboard charts as well.

However, interest in the group faded quickly. The band's follow-up album, Humanication, was shelved, never to be released during the band's prime. Humanication was finally released in 2010.

This CBR320 CD is not listed on Discogs. The cover art is of amateur quality. The disc is most probably a bootleg release. The front cover has a generic Capitol Records logo, back listed as flex cd 001.
