A very long way off topic

A very long way off topic

2012-06-10 by markpringnz

Not sure if Ivor Cutler is well known in the states, I'm not sure if you will find this funny.

I think it's hilarious

I adore Mr Cutler and was lucky to see him in concert in Birmingham late in his performing career. I keep his books in strategic places and guitar cases so that I usually have one with me. A little bit of Ivor goes a long way and banishes thoses glums.

Nice to see him using a Bilhorn Telescope reed organ in this clip too. Mine is 100+ years old and the reeds are still in tune, even if the cabinet is falling to bits..

... and another morning gone, this one spent reading about and listening to Ivor Cutler.  You're right Mark, I guess we haven't heard much about him in the states. Great stuff!  I love all that harmonium too.

I had a beer with Ivor Cutler (I think) some time around 1986 or 1987 after he played a gig at Edinburgh University.

Ivor Cutler & The Bonzo Dog Band

2012-06-10 by Robert

Mark,

Actually, not that far off topic...


I like Ivor Cutler too.  The first time I learned of him was when I purchased Robert Wyatt's "Rock Bottom" album many years ago and he is credited playing Baritone Concertina,  Keyboards, and Vocals.

It is common knowledge that The Beatles were fond of him and he is amongst the cast of their Magical Mystery Tour film.  They were fond of The Bonzo Dog Band too and they perform near the end of that film.

Robert

Reed and Portative Pipe Organs

2012-06-10 by Robert

Mark,

I would love to hear your Bilhorn Telescope reed organ.

If you haven't already listened to the albums by Dolly (RIP) and Shirley Collins, I strongly recommend you check them out.  Dolly plays the Portative Pipe Organ on several of them.  Also check out Dolly's album titled "The Transports" which is absolutely beautiful.  Same with "Folk Roots, New Routes" by Shirley Collins and Davy Graham, "No Roses" by Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band, the other Shirley Collins albums including others that she guests on.

Cheers,

Robert

Re: [newmellotrongroup] Ivor Cutler & The Bonzo Dog Band

2012-06-10 by Mark Pring

Hi Robert,

I didn't realise that Ivor Cutler had played on Rock Bottom, I have just bought that wonderful album on Itunes as there don't seem to be many Robert Wyatt CDs available here, the problem with downloads is the lack of information. I confess to I having done a cover of Sea Song, which I certainly won't post here!

Thanks

Mark

For anybody on this list who is not familiar with Shirley and Dolly Collins, below is a YouTube link to one of the many songs they recorded.  The 2nd link is her bio from All Music.


David Munrow, Philip Pickett, and Christopher Hogwood were credited on some of their albums.  The final link is a David Munrow video on YouTube.

Hi Mark,

That;s right Ivor played on that masterpiece...now I'm really glad to read that downloads are not informative at all...and you PAID for that...when I posted my opinion about downloads being totally impersonal some people didn't agree...so my point remains: a download, something you may erase or be erased at any time is something of a lesser value...and doesn't help to establish a bond with the musicians.

best y'all,

Re: [newmellotrongroup] Ivor Cutler & The Bonzo Dog Band

2012-06-11 by Mark Pring

Hi Roberto,

I would have preferred the CD particularly for the art work, however there aren't many stores that stock any of Robert Wyatt's music here, and the download is quicker, easier and cheaper than getting the CD through Amazon. Rest assured I already have 3 copies of it, stored in various locations, it won't be getting erased in my lifetime!

Mark

Nico's Marble Index / Os Mutantes

2012-06-11 by Robert

Hi Roberto,

In my opinion, Nico's "Marble Index" is a great album and I think it's her best.  Of course, the 1st Velvet Underground album that she appears on is also great.

Sometimes, I refer to her as "the grandmother of Goth".

Not meaning to get too personal, you mentioned a while back that you currently live in Brazil?  Some styles of Brazilian music are amongst my favorite.  Most particularly Bossa Nova.  On a different note, approximately 6 years ago, I saw a psychedelic rock group from Brazil in Miami called Os Mutantes.  That was the last concert of their "world tour" that included a small number of cities before they went back to Brazil.  I had never heard of this group until a few weeks before the show.  A friend of mine who owns and operates the only remaining psychedelic record store in Miami told me about them and recommended that I go to the concert.  I think the concert was wonderful and included Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias Baptista, co-founding members of this late 60's Tropicalia group.  Zelia Duncan was their lead vocalist for this tour and I think she did an excellent job.  Rita Lee, the original female vocalist and co-founding member left the
 group many years ago.

Back in the late 60's, Os Mutantes was kind of like a Beatlesque Brazilian group. 


Question - have you (or anybody else on this list) ever heard of them ?

Regards,


Robert

I adore Mr Cutler and was lucky to see him in concert in Birmingham late in his performing career. I keep his books in strategic places and guitar cases so that I usually have one with me. A little bit of Ivor goes a long way and banishes thoses glums.

Nice to see him using a Bilhorn Telescope reed organ in this clip too. Mine is 100+ years old and the reeds are still in tune, even if the cabinet is falling to bits..

Love and Scones

Not sure if Ivor Cutler is well known in the states, I'm not sure if you will find this funny.

Hi Roberto,

In my opinion, Nico's "Marble Index" is a great album and I think it's her best. Of course, the 1st Velvet Underground album that she appears on is also great.

Sometimes, I refer to her as "the grandmother of Goth".

Not meaning to get too personal, you mentioned a while back that you currently live in Brazil? Some styles of Brazilian music are amongst my favorite. Most particularly Bossa Nova. On a different note, approximately 6 years ago, I saw a psychedelic rock group from Brazil in Miami called Os Mutantes. That was the last concert of their "world tour" that included a small number of cities before they went back to Brazil. I had never heard of this group until a few weeks before the show. A friend of mine who owns and operates the only remaining psychedelic record store in Miami told me about them and recommended that I go to the concert. I think the concert was wonderful and included Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias Baptista, co-founding members of this late 60's Tropicalia group. Zelia Duncan was their lead vocalist for this tour and I think she did an excellent job. Rita Lee, the original female vocalist and co-founding member left the group many years ago.

Back in the late 60's, Os Mutantes was kind of like a Beatlesque Brazilian group.

Question - have you (or anybody else on this list) ever heard of them ?

Regards,

Robert

Mark,

I would love to hear your Bilhorn Telescope reed organ.

If you haven't already listened to the albums by Dolly (RIP) and Shirley Collins, I strongly recommend you check them out. Dolly plays the Portative Pipe Organ on several of them. Also check out Dolly's album titled "The Transports" which is absolutely beautiful. Same with "Folk Roots, New Routes" by Shirley Collins and Davy Graham, "No Roses" by Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band, the other Shirley Collins albums including others that she guests on.

Cheers,

Robert

RE: [newmellotrongroup] Nico's Marble Index / Os Mutantes

2012-06-11 by R l


Hi RObert,

I was born in Brazil, but I livedin the US, SPain, UK etc for over 20 years...well, Os Mutantes is a fave of mine...they came out in 1967 during the Tropicalia movement (which was a Brazilian response to psychedelic music in the tropics). Maestro Rogerio Duprat played a major role in developing the band's sound + the talent of Arnaldo Batista, which unfortunately lost his marbles à la Syd Barrett.
I saw them live in different incarnations...but my fondest memories are of staying up til late night during the great music festivals of 67/68/69 of RecordTV, that brought us no less than: Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento, and many others including Os Mutantes,,we were at the height of a military dictatorship and watchibg these guys with these clothes was a blast...besides, in thos days playing an electric guitar was considered an imperialistic attitude....,well I'll stop here...
In my opinion the second album which has Don QUixote, QUalquer Bobagem (all time fave) Dia 36 (psych masterpiece!) 2001, and Caminhante Noturno is the best...but the first five are great....
Besides, their brother was an electronic engineer who built all their amps and guitars...

Hope this helps.

Os Mutantes were cool
All of this music made its way into the states. I had a wonderful job in the 70s traveling all over finding this stuff and brining it back, sometimes by the cargo container. I worked for the smallest player and ended up going to MIDEM. When the dollar lost it’s exchange superiority in the early 80s, we shifted to a record label.
