Tom Verlaine - Warm and Cool
The Move - Message From the Country

How is that solo Tom Verlaine stuff? I heard one of 'em a long time ago, not sure which one offhand. Some friends of mine went up to NYC to see Television (sans Richard Lloyd) play for free in Central Park..

I've wanted to check out that band (The Move), but couldn't find anything at the time so I forgot about it. How are they?

I've wanted to check out that band (The Move), but couldn't find anything at the time so I forgot about it. How are they?


The Verlaine album Warm and Cool is instrumental and could be the soundtrack to some great Film Noir.  It covers cool Jazz, some period music ("Depot 1957") and a Sonny Sharrock-inspired piece ("Ore"? I don't have the CD in front of me, sorry.  Track 14, that I remember).  Great playing from Verlaine.

The Move is hard to find, I don't know why.  Message From the Country has been reissued, but the rest of the catalog is deep-sixed, unless you want to shell out for imports.  

The main man in the Move was Roy Wood, a great songwriter with eccentric tendencies that drove their original, kinda un-hip singer to flee the weirdness.  The Move replaced the straight-laced original singer with Jeff Lynne.  I think they did two, maybe three albums with  Jeff Lynne and recorded a raw, unpolished version of "Do Ya" near the end.  Lynne and Wood wanted to do Rock that incorporated orchestral elements and included string players as full members.  They kept The Move's drummer, Bev Bevans, and released the first Electric Light Orchestra album in 1971(rough guess, I'm too lazy and...uh...enhanced this evening to do a simple check on the date).  They revamped "Do Ya" with the strings, but I like the original raw Move version better.  Roy Wood split after the first ELO album due to Jeff Lynne being a prick, and in my opinion ELO sucked without Wood, despite huge sales.

Roy Wood did a solo record, Boulders, and put together a band called Wizzard, a Glam-style project that paid homage to the 50's music Wood loved.  I don't want to say Wood was heavily into the medicine bag during the Wizzard days, but here he is during that era:



If you can, find a good career spanning best of The Move album (I found a Dutch import in the cut-out CD rack of FYE that covers the early psychedelic classics like "Cherry Blossom Clinic" and "Fire Brigade", which I think inspired KISS to do "Firehouse"...I don't know, like I said I'm in expanded mode) that stops at the first ELO album.  Anything after the first ELO record is Jeff Lynne wanking away, using production tricks he picked up from Roy Wood.

Yeah, Jeff Lynne's crimes against humanity are really too numerous to mention.  His indulgence in Beatle fantasies alone, as evidenced by the George Martin forgeries he has produced over the years, is enough to warrant his execution in and of itself.

I actually like a couple of ELO songs, "Showdown" and "Fire On High", but other than those two, they are a complete waste of time, vinyl, and recording equipment.

I've heard a bit of The Move's work, mainly on Nuggets-ish compilation CDs, and occasionally on Sirius.  Somewhat interesting.


Of course, none of their work can touch Lawrence Welk's version of "Sister Ray"..........

I had forgotten about "Fire On High", I really love the twelve-string that breaks in.  My wife is a big fan of the El Dorado album, but I can't give it much ear.  What really makes me want to piss on Jeff Lynne's afro?  "Rama, lama, lama, Rock & Roll is king".  Jeeeeeee-sus dancing back from the dead, what a piece of shit song, and it used to poison the airwaves when I was a youngster.  The nightmares...when will they end?

Yeah, the real problem with the Move was their tendency to do a little "Rama lama lama" themselves.  On Message From the Country, I have to program the CD to skip the 50's lame Doo-Wop stylings, especially the one that sounds like "Monster Mash".  We made a Move CD for my step son and edited out that fucking dreck.   You end up with a 25 minute album that's highly listenable.

I have no idea who synced-up the Lawrence Welk -"Sister Ray" clip, but I thought I would piss myself laughing.  There's Lawrence out on the dance floor, gliding and sliding with some dried-up old looch, and when he's whispering in her ear I know he's asking if she wouldn't mind suckin' on his ding-dong.  Rock on, Lawrence, you found a way to earn a dollar.

Follow My Voice

This is a little out of place, but it's definitely something musical to watch.  We rented a DVD last night called Follow My Voice - With the Music of Hedwig, which was put out by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask, the two geniuses who wrote Hedwig and the Angry Inch.  It combines the recording of the Wig in a Box tribute album with a documentary on Harvey Milk High School, a school for lesbian/gay/bisexual kids where they don't have to worry about being alienated, or as in the case of Ralphy, very nearly getting sliced-up by rednecks, not only for being gay but also because of his pants, which the inbreds found distasteful.  Hmmm...Rednecks wanting to be fashion critics?  I think they need to confront the little homo hiding in their hearts....

The music's great, a bunch of artists doing covers of Hedwig tunes.  Jonathan Richman, the Breeders, Yo La Tengo, Frank Black, Robyn Hitchcock, and one of my favorites now sorely missed, Sleater Kinney, performing with Fred Schneider.

The real star of the doc is Chris Slusarenko, who arranges all the artists for the sessions.  He's a charmed guy...after the film ended, he went back home to do some producing and run the video store he owns.  Then he got a phone call from his all-time favorite band Guided By Voices, asking him to fill the bass slot on their last tour.  That's Karma, a nice kickback for a nice guy.

In an interview, Stephen Trask says he wrote Hedwig hoping it would be liked by gays and straights, and he succeeded.  Great music, great film and show.

At the end of the film, the ugly hate-filled beast that is Pat  Robertson's America rears it's fucking head.  The producers noted that a discrimination lawsuit has been filed against Harvey Milk High School - for not accepting heterosexual students.  If you watch the film, you'll see the charge isn't true.  At one point HMHS is described as open to anyone who needs a place to be themselves without fear of reprisals.  Shit on the Moral Majority - I'd crawl over fifty good pussies just to get to Pat Robertson's asshole, and I'd fuck him like a bee-yotch.

Just be sure to wrap it up, no telling what kind of "gifts that keep on giving" that Pat Robertson's asshole could be harboring.

At the risk of this turning into a post that would be better suited for the Lamest Songs thread, I'll add that "Don't Bring Me Down" produces about the same effect for me. Don't think I've had the pleasure of hearing the one you're talking about; it sounds god-awful just from the title...
