JOHANNSSON, JOHANN Englaborn (Touch) cd 15.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Founding member of the Kitchen Motors arts organization in Reykjavik, Johann Johannsson has been at the forefront of adventurous music in Iceland, performing with the Apparat Organ Ensemble and working with some of the more acclaimed Icelandic exports (i.e. members of Sigur Ros, Mum, Stilluppsteypa, Halfer Trio, etc.). "Englaborn" is the first album for Johannsson, who reconstructed this album from the score he wrote for the stage play by Havar Sigurjonsson. Johannsson stated that "The play is extremely violent and disturbing; and basically, when faced with the script, I decided to work against it as much as possible and just try to write the most beautiful music I could." While we do not have the benefit of witnessing the play itself or any images for that matter (beautiful Jon Wozencroft photographs of the sea grace the cover of this album), Johannsson invokes a profound sadness through his descending chord progressions for the Epos Spring Quartet which he augments with spartan use of percussion, electronics, piano, computerized voices, and harmonium. Where Sigur Ros has crafted grandiose operas of Icelandic melancholia, Johann Johannsson simplifies his scores into poignant short stories that nevertheless resonate with those emotions.

JOHANNSSON, JOHANN Fordlandia (4AD) cd 13.98
Dunno what happened here, but Johann Johannsson totally blows it on Fordlandia. His previous records had tip-toed around the ideas of big Hollywood filmscores, exaggerating the emotional rigor to describe the banal, or composing quietly sad scores to counterpoint a hyperviolent play. But here, the Icelander goes for a full-on melodramatic orchestration, something that would make for the big crescendo on a Jerry Bruckheimer film. Amidst the massive string symphony, some Guitar Hero wannabe rockstar dons the role of The Edge with some tricked out delay appreggiation on his politely 'artful' riffs. Is this supposed to be ironic? Ugh.

JOHANNSSON, JOHANN IBM 1401 : A User's Manual (4AD) cd 13.98
The Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson has now signed to 4AD, after a couple of mighty fine albums released through Touch; and 4AD is certainly the right outlet for this album, as Johannson's grandiose scores for orchestral arrangements, vocal chorales, and electronics enjoys the same weighty sentimentality heard in many a Dead Can Dance or This Mortal Coil album. Lush, cinematic, and utterly dramatic, this album curiously is not a soundtrack (although it has all of the repeating leitmotifs and syrupy pathos of a big budget Hollywood film of the tragic / romantic genre); rather Johannsson contextualizes all of these majestic, post-classical elements as a tribute to the IBM 1401, a state of the art computer from 1960. The computer came with a audio training manual from which he culled samples about the machine's maintenance. While some of the exchanges of Michael Nyman-esque orchestral phrases with the authoritarian vocals from the manual are quite interesting, the album is wholly saccharine in scope, rendering whatever nostalgia for technologies past as something of a quaint detour from the orchestral bombast.

JOHANNSSON, JOHANN Virdulegu Forsetar (Touch) 2cd 17.98
Johann Johannsson is fast becoming one of the bright lights in the already talent rich Icelandic underground music scene. Having helped found the Kitchen Motors arts organization in Reykjavik, Johannsson has also performed with the Apparat Organ Ensemble as well as members of Sigur Ros, Mum, Stilluppsteypa and more.
We raved about Johannsson's debut album Englaborn. But while this new release is sonically quite different, it retains many of the elements that we found so appealing on Englaborn. Virdulegu Forsetar is an hour long piece written for 11 brass players (trumpets, horns, tuba), percussion (Glockenspiel and bells), electronics, organs and piano.
Virdulegu is not as much of an all drone record as his debut, but most definitely still contains many drone-y parts and drone-like elements. A brooding, slow building, minor key, cinematic epic. Warm and lush, rich with harmonic overtones, and melodically very grandiose. The sounds here are very visual and definitely bring to mind vast expanses of land or space, whether it's the sun slowly rising over the desert, the moon peeeking from behind a planet, a slowly spiralling galaxy, and even the Olympics. Huh? Yep, the Olympics. The melodies and instrumentation are quite similar to the fanfares used during the opening ceremonies, or over montages of past Olympiads. It's a little distracting, but quite lovely nonetheless. And of course much darker and dronier than any of the music actually used for the Olympics. Each epic fanfare / flourish dissipates into a rumbling subterranean drone, where it hovers and slowly shifts until another fanfare surfaces in it's place, shines briefly, only to quickly sink back into the inky darkness. This would be the perfect music for the Drone Olympics that we plan on holding in 2006!

JOHANSON, CHRIS You Are There book 14.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
What fits within a 4.25" x 7" x .25" space perfectly? SF artist Chris Johanson's glossy pink covered paperback book. It's positively bursting at the seams with his creations - many from his gallery installations. Pages of drawings and text printed on pink blue and yellow paper are interspersed with oddly sized foldouts and full color photos. His rough often blurrily inked depictions and commentary on local street life reveal a sea of often disembodied faces - homeless, business men, clowns - and a clutter of speech bubbles. Recent exhibits all over the place. Here's your chance to see what the hubub is all about.

JOHANSSON, JERRY Next Door Conversation (Kning Disk) cd 14.98
Sitar raga music from Sweden? Sure! On the Swedish label Kning Disk, who last brought us cds by Wolf Eyes and James Blackshaw -- so we'd expect just about anything (interesting) from them. Composer/arranger Jerry Johansson is a sitar player (who studied with sitar master Roop Verma, who was taught by Ravi Shankar). Here he presents his piece "Next Door Conversation", in two parts, 53 minutes total. His sitar is the lead instrument, and in traditional style he's accompanied by santour and tambura -- but also by a violin/violin/viola/cello string quartet from the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra! Shades of Kronos, eh?
It's a dreamy, slowly unfolding, sitar n' strings soundscape, the Eastern twang of Johansson's sitar calmly contrasting with the more cinematic sweep of the string quartet, each recontextualizing the other. With sounds from the subcontinent and Swedish folk motifs both incorporated, this is a gorgeous East-West hybrid indeed, and crosses over other borders to somehow remind us of everything from Spaghetti Western soundtracks to Chinese orchestral music. Gosh, there's not much more to say other than, enjoy!

JOHN FRANCIS, THE On The Moments We Share (Rerum Novarum) cd 7.98
We've long had a soft spot for the darkest of country folk twang -- Mark Kozelek, Tindersticks, Jesse Sykes, and Hotel Alexis to name just a handful. The last couple months have brought us a few more residing a little closer to home. Case in point, The John Francis' smoky blues filled On The Moment We Share. Deep deep male vocals and slow creeping tempo keep the mood bleak and somber. This album fits well right alongside the latest from fellow SF band The Black Swans. Music that never leaves the shadows? We're right there with 'em. Thanks for sharing!

The Sea and Cake track appears on the straight-to-video John Hughes film called Reach the Rock, and although the McEntire track does appear in the film, it's not gonna be on the full length cd soundtrack, so we guess that's your reason for getting this single (although its similarity to Windham Hill-style Shadowfax new age lite might turn you off just a bit).

JOHN WILKES BOOZE Five Pillars Of Soul (Kill Rock Stars) cd 14.98
For those of you who missed out on the super limited handmade Five Pillars Of Soul cd-r's JWB released one at a time over the last couple years, you can once again thank your lucky stars, you've been saved. And those of you who did manage to get em, well, why not get this handy disc that collects all 5 cd-r's onto a real cd with even more extensive liner notes added.
While this is purportedly a tribute to soul music, the soul music seems to be mostly implied here, like 'soul' in spirit, in concept, in intention, but not in execution. Which is not a bad thing. This -is- soul music, but the way it can only be played by middle class, white, mid-western boys. All shrieking, skronking, sweaty, pounding, rocking and GROOVING. You can catch glimpses of the Make Up, the Blues Explosion, the White Stripes, New York Dolls, as well as Alice Donut (especially in the vocals). Weird and pretty wonderful. Spazzy, soulful, glammy ROCK AND ROLL. There are 5 volumes. Short and sweet (each clocking in at 10-15 minutes) and all in honor of JWB's peculiar ideas of the pillars of soul: Melvin Van Peebles, Tania Hearst (Patty Hearst with her SLA name), Albert Ayler, Marc Bolan and Yoko Ono. They also throw in some covers of the Zombies, the Fugs, and Mission Of Burma but turn them into punky soul-fuck explosions... Good stuff. Although I'm still clinging to the belief that the sixth pillar must be BRUCE WILLIS!!!

JOHN'S CHILDREN The Complete John's Children (Burning Airlines) 2cd 30.00
Here is a 2cd release collecting all of the best (and the rare, and the radio sessions etc.) of John's Childen, the rebellious, punk ass, late '60s, psych pop band who at one point included Marc Bolan, later of the legendary T-Rex. JC are maybe best known for being thrown off a Who tour for upstaging them theatrically and for being louder!! On this album are very early versions of songs Marc Bolan would later re-record under his own name and as Tyrannosaurus Rex, such as "Mustang Ford", "Desdemona", and "Perfumed Garden Of Gulliver Smith". Contains a fancy book with extensive liner notes by band members, filling you in on all the dirt on this short lived British band.

JOHNNY TRUANT In The Library Of Horrific Events (Under Groove) cd 17.98
There's a point at which music can get no more frantic, no more noisy, no more heavy. The point at which the sound of music just becomes a blur of sound, a mess of noise. The trick is, especially with extreme music, is to get as close as possible without slipping over that line. Plenty have come close, and the closer they come, the more they hit that indescribable spot. Punk rock got close way back when, then metal got even closer, then the variants of metal pushed closer and closer thrash metal, metalcore, death metal, black metal, each generation of band, each new genre trying its best to get as close to the edge as possible. At moments on In The Library Of Horrific Events, Johnny Truant manage to get pretty fucking close. Their sound is a dizzying blend of ultra technical grind metal and classic heavy metalisms, each song an ultra complex downtuned chugfest, blast beats careen through dense fields of squiggly riffing, crushing crunchy sludge and howled vocals, half time breakdowns butt up to impossible buzzing grind workouts, but occasionally, out of a dense wild swirl of grinding chaos will emerge some incredible hooky dual guitar harmony, or some strangely melodic breakdown, as if Iron Maiden was somewhere under Johnny Truant's barbed blackened spiked exterior trying desperately to hack their way out.

JOHNSON, BLIND WILLIE Sweeter As The Years Go By (Yazoo) cd 16.98
In his entire musical career Blind Willie Johnson recorded almost exclusively spiritual songs, and did so in one the most unforgettable, hair-raisingly beautiful, gravel filled voice -- a voice that could make Tom Waits and Howlin' Wolf blush. If that's not enough, Blind Willie Johnson also played a truly inspired slide guitar.

JOHNSON, CALVIN What Was Me (K) cd 14.98
That Calvin Johnson is one very peculiar fella... always has been. Whether he's contorting himself like a pretzel with the funky Dub Narcotic, or crooning a bittersweet Beat Happening lo-fi luv song in his impossibly deeeeep voice, he is a distinct, unmistakable presence. His new solo album is distinct also, but in a very strange way. For some reason, the K Records kingpin has fancied himself as a blues singer from the deep south. Bizarre to say the least. It drew a chuckle or two when it was played in the store. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but certainly an acquired taste. If you like him, then here he is in all his glory (often without instrument accompaniment), and you'll probably enjoy this. On the other hand, if you're not a Calvin fan, this solo record will probably not win you over. And if you're completely unfamiliar with Mr. Johnson, you just might wanna check out a couple of his other records first like Beat Happening's Dreamy or Dub Narcotic's Out Of Your Mind or his collaboration with Built to Spill's Doug Martsch as the Halo Benders on God Don't Make No Junk.

JOHNSON, CALVIN & THE SONS OF THE SOIL s/t (K) cd 14.98
As K Records website tells it, a few years ago The Blow's Khaela Maririch and Wolf Colonel's Jason Anderson were musing about the question "What if Calvin Johnson played all his best songs from over the years, with a band of real music-making people?"
We take particular issue with the last part of that query. Don't you think it's a total insult to everyone Mr. Johnson has played with over the years? If Heather, Heather, Bret, Chris, Doug et al weren't "real music-making people", then what were they?! Isn't that exactly what Beat Happening were all about? Breaking down limitations and expectations? And we're not even taking into consideration a little thing called 'musical chemistry'!
Anyways disgruntlement aside, apparently the well-meaning duo along with K label mates Kyle Field of Little Wings and Adam Forkner of Yume Bitsu fancied themselves to be the abovementioned "band of real music-making people" and formed the Sons Of The Soil.
So, what's it sound like? Well, to be utterly frank, Calvin Johnson minus Bret and Heather (aka his Beat Happening buddies), minus Doug Martsch (his fellow Halo Bender), and minus Chris Sutton and Heather Dunn (aka his Dub Narcotic co-horts) sounds like a drunken sailor cast adrift in a karaoke bar... woozily sea sick, rambling stage banter, and as atonal as ever. Try as they might, all the young'uns can't support Uncle Calvin. We're sure they had a great time, but listening to it is nothing but a flat flat flat experience. Bummer.

JOHNSON, MIKE What Would You Do (Up) cd 11.98
If you've enjoyed the deeply moving music of Michael Gira, Mark Lanegan and Golden Hotel, you just might want to add this new offering from Mike Johnson (ex-Dinosaur Jr) to that list. Very much in a similarly slow, somber vein. A dark downer album of mid to slow paced, psych-tinged country blues with Johnson's low, slightly hoarse voice pulling you down into the despair. One point of contention though sez Byram, the intro to "Dirty Hands" is a straight-up shoplift from Yabby You's "Conquering Lion" (Vivian Jackson and The Ralph Brothers) - very odd.

JOHNSTON, DANIEL Continued Story + Hi How Are You (Eternal Yip Eye) cd 13.98
With the recent release of The Devil And Daniel Johnston, a documentary about Johnston's genius and continual struggle with mental illness, more of the world is getting a peak into the magical world of one of the greatest musical minds of the last several decades. While the film and most of the press surrounding Johnston tends to focus on his mental health and long bouts of illness, the recent release many of his classic albums seemed like the perfect opportunity to seriously gush about his oh so prolific musical output. We can't think of many songwriters over the last couple decades, or maybe ever, who have written as many memorable, deeply honest, and totally profound songs as Daniel Johnston. His ability to get to the core of human emotions, insecurities, hopes, fears, and desires is pretty much incomparable. This cd collects two of his earliest tapes on one cd.
Hi How Are You was recorded in 1983 and Continued Story in 1985 and both contain some of the most raw and powerful songs in Johnston's catalog. "It's Over", "Casper", one of his best Beatles covers "I Saw Her Standing There" and so many other classic damaged pop masterpieces. So amazing!

JOHNSTON, DANIEL RejectedUnknown (Which) cd 14.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
A new collection of the sincerest of storybook songs about love, despair, hope and true silliness sung in that sweet, wavering, warbling voice. Offering his unique view of the world, well, actually more like his world, as Daniel Johnston exists in a place all his own. Be forewarned, out of nowhere you may find yourself humming along to a song of his and realize it's also the melody to "Jingle Bells" or some other equally familiar yet out of place tune. Such is the mad music of Daniel Johnston. He also continues to illustrate each of his releases with his own felt pen drawings. In the land of Daniel Johnston, green martians, five-headed duck creatures, and superheroes roam freely.

JOHNSTON, DANIEL The Early Recordings Volume 1 (Dualtone) 2cd 15.98
Finally released on cd, this double disc o' the one and only Daniel Johnston includes "Songs Of Pain 1980-83" and "More Songs Of Pain". They were his very first two cassettes that he recorded in his parents' basement over two decades ago. The inner child sings out freely from this oft-troubled grown man whose freewheeling musical spirit and imagination have captured the hearts of many fellow artists over the years (Sonic Youth, Half Japanese and Nirvana to name just a few). His songs - perky primal melodies crudely hammered out on piano or guitar and sung in his distinct singsong delivery - are filled with genuine naivete, broken hearts, playful silly musings and downright strange meanderings. And these early recordings while still retaining their tape hiss and muffledness, not to mention Johnston's coughs, commentary and pauses are perhaps his most immediate and impactful. Pretty darn wonderful!

His ability to get to the core of human emotions, insecurities, hopes, fears, and desires is pretty much incomparable.
Yip! Jump Music was recorded in the summer of 1983 and is an amazing look into the early and raw world of Johnston's song writing. Mostly just him, a keyboard, his obsessions and lots of unrequited love, it's a record that's both full of humor and rife with despair. With songs like "Casper", "I Remember Painfully", "Sorry Entertainer" and "Speeding Motorcycle". Little did the world know, that in the summer of 1983, a homemade cassette would contain some of the greatest pop songs of the last quarter century.

JOHNSTON, DANIEL & VARIOUS ARTISTS The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered (Gammon) 2cd 15.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Daniel Johnston has been a staple of underground DIY indie rock for as long as we can remember. From his early homemade cassettes, to his rock records, some time spent on Shimmy Disc, always totally unique and bizarre and beautiful. Johnston is the ultimate outsider artist. Innocent and childlike, troubled by demons, some we all have to deal with, and of course some of his own invention. A talented artist as well as musician, he has influenced everyone from Yo La Tengo (who has covered his songs) to the Butthole Surfers (who used to play shows and tour with Johnston). This double disc is such a fantastic testament to Johnston's talent and legacy. The first disc is all covers, various well known 'fans' offering up their own versions of Johnston classics. Flaming Lips with Sparklehorse, Death Cab For Cutie, Vic Chesnutt, TV On The Radio, Teenage Fanclub with Jad Fair, Bright Eyes, Tom Waits, M. Ward, Mercury Rev, Beck and more. The second disc consists of 19 tracks, all the hits everyone knows and loves as well as some less well known jems, spanning his 15 year career. Johnston's immediately recognizable keening childlike voice, over plinking guitars, warbly toy pianos, wezzing squeezeboxes and all sorts of weird home taped sound bites. So good. Essential listening for sure, hopefully the star studded selection of indie rock luminaries will get people less inclined to indie weirdness to check out the genius of Daniel Johnston. Who sure does look remarkably like Captain Kangaroo these days....

JOHNSTON, FREEDY Right Between the Promises (Elektra) cd 17.98

JOLY, RENE Chimene (Magic) cd 19.98
One of our favorite reissues and new/old discoveries of last year was the passionate and powerful work of Gerard Manset. We immediately fell hard for his rich and textured songs which showed the more intense side of '60s and early '70s French Pop. So we were immediately intrigued by this collection of songs by Rene Joly when we saw that the orchestration was credited in part to Gerard Manset. But once we listened, it turned out to be Joly's voice that grabbed our attention right away. Full of drama, fire and beauty we couldn't believe that this was the first time his amazing voice had made it into our ears. It made us think of what Antony & The Johnsons might have sounded like if they were from France in 1970, or maybe Bryan Ferry doing Edith Piaf covers.
Even some of our friends who grew up in France had not heard of Joly so we don't feel quite as bad for not hearing him until now. How glad we are that this gem of French orchestral psychedelic pop has finally risen to the surface, brought to us by the same label that brought us the great Pop Made In France compilation highlighted last time. Prog fans will even want to check this out for the great King Crimson cover "La Cour Du Roi Musicien" (The Court Of The Crimson King). Majestic sounds filled with cinematic flair, and bubbling with grandeur and rich color. Joly's commanding voice sweeps us off our feet every time we listen. Highly recommended!

JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, THE Acme (Matador) cd 14.98
Dunno what to say about this one except that Windy who hates Jon Spencer thinks this is almost palatable with it's leaning toward soul and blues (backup singers etc, the whole shebang) and the production talents of the Automator and Alec Empire etc. But then again the longtime Spencer fans who work here all uniformly dislike it. Make of this what you will.

JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, THE Jukebox Explosion (In the Red) cd 13.98
Ok, we'll admit that while Jon Spencer's old band Pussy Galore has their fans at Aquarius, nobody here has ever been able to really get into his subsequent Blues Explosion. (Perhaps almost entirely 'cause of the way the man calls out his band's name in almost every song -- annoying!) But this new record, a collection of long-ago, out-of-print, rare and/or unreleased JSBX singles ("rockin' mid-90s punkers!"), might just be the thing to make us admit that Jon Spencer's post-Pussy band had some good stuff going on, early on. Starting back in '92 with the frantic "Shirt Jac" recorded for In The Red's jukebox singles series, the 18 cuts here definitely include quite a few wigged-out gems. Their cover of Chaingang's "Son Of Sam" is almost as cool as the awesome original, with guest sax-appeal. We're amused to hear "Caroline", a song that their record label at the time, of the same name, wouldn't release. The intense "Naked" (about David Yow) could be something by Lubricated Goat. The Moog blurt on the chaotic "Push Some Air" is satisfying. And even though it starts off with a "BLOOOOOOOZE EXPLOSION" we still like "Train #1". Maybe something about the in-the-moment mindset a band has when writing and recording a track for a single just adds to their authenticity, 'cuz the low-down, scabrous blues-ravaged swaggering scuzz here sounds like the real deal, despite Jon Spencer's self-sabotage when he switches from screams to his Elvis-impersonator yowl (and James Brown grunts).
The thick cd booklet annotates each track with suitably arrogant liner notes, and includes plenty of graphics and photos. Also dig the cool "Back From The Grave" parody cover art/design! So, maybe the the only JSBX disc you need to own. Or, maybe the disc to make us go back and reevaluate some of the JSBX's albums...

JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOSION, THE Plastic Fang (Matador) cd 15.98
Still crankin' out the ball-bustin' bad boy blues rock is the gent known as Mr. Jon Spencer. And along with his trusty Blues Explosion, he presents this his eighth album proper. Plenty of howlin' and an ample supply of "mama!"s and "ahkintaykitnomoah!"s, but with thankfully less self referential "The Blues Explosion" banter. There is less spit, bite and sneer than he's been able to muster up on past releases. For those hardcore JSBX fans there are a limited number of lps and cds specially, kitschily packaged in cello-bag with hang-card... oh, and there are cheesy promotional plastic fangs for the taking. Yep, JSBX has sunk that low.

JON WAYNE Texas Funeral (Cargo/ Fistpuppet) cd 13.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Finally back in print, everyone's favorite redneck/the south will rise again/bad taste/crime spree/joy ride through the dusty back roads of Texas with Mr. Jon Wayne riding shotgun and spouting an endless stream of obsceneties, epithets, and words of wisdom. All to the strains of out of tune, stumbling, drunken, fucked up barroom country. Depressing and absolutely hilarious. Offensive and totally essential. Brilliant and completely dumb.

JON WAYNE Two Graduated Jiggers (Waco's Goats Records) cd 14.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Of course, the Jon Wayne we're talking about is not THE John Wayne, archetype of the bad-ass cop / cowboy / sheriff / general. This Jon Wayne appears as a scrawy, incompetent drunk who got it in his head that he needed to move to Fresno, California because that's where Merle Haggard lives.
There is no doubt that Jon Wayne loves Texas, for Texas is huge. Texas is oil. Texas is J.R. Ewing. Texas is The Alamo. Texas is country AND western. Texas is a pick-up truck with tobacco stains puddled on the running board. Texas is a Longhorn (both the cow and the football player). Texas is a fucked-up place where the good ole boys control the state with backroom politics, blaming problems on immigration, but won't dare have their sons working in the field instead of some Mexicans. While it may not be true for all, it's true for Jon Wayne: Texas is God. It's a mythology that holds similarities to the "South will rise again" belief of Tennessee rednecks, but the two should never be confused. It may not make much sense, but asking why will just get your ass kicked. So don't.
In fact, it's hard to tell if Jon Wayne and his band are the genuine bastard sons of Texas or if they are a part of the great Southern lineage of telling tall tales of hard drinkin' and hard livin' or if they are just a bunch of indie-rock dorks method acting. We don't much care what Jon Wayne's intention is, just as long as it isn't irony.
"Texas Funeral" was Jon Wayne's first album, mostly recounting how screwed up it was for this drunk Texan to be in the California Central Valley. His half mumbled / barely sung tales ambled alongside a raucous musical affair of sloppy cow-punk tunes over which was spouted the infamous epithets "I had to jerk off the dog just to feed the goddamned cat" and "Mr. Egyptian you're a goddamned liar." Even after all the time, since its release in 1992, "Texas Funeral" remains an incredibly hilarious record.
Nearly nine years later, Jon Wayne makes his (their) musical return with his sophomore album, "Two Graduated Jiggers." Upon first listen, Jon Wayne has become just slightly more competent as a song writer, without so many of the miscues and false starts which ran through "Texas Funeral." Of particular note is the opener "Generator," which is exactly what a drunk Calexico would sound like, yet is much more musical than anything else Jon Wayne has ever recorded. The rest of the album stays truer to "Texas Funeral" with Jon Wayne's country/western two-step crashing out of rhythm and tune during almost every song. Lyrically, he's even less decipherable, with his drawl overtaking the delivery and reducing what little song their might have been to a rambling mumble of obscenities. To many, that may be a living hell. But to those of us who find the current output from Nashville reprehensible, Jon Wayne's drunk antics are a blessing.

JONES MACHINE, THE You're The One/I'm The Disco Dancing (Rephlex) cd 9.98
Okay, no bullshit. This is one of the stupidest things we've ever heard. But with the catchiest electro-pop groove accompanying a male German disco diva reciting I'm The Disco Dancing! [sic] complete with vocalized whip snaps, the b-side to this single has become THE club hit for the AQ staff this month (you wouldn't believe how many times we've played this in the store!). A-side 'You're The One' is certainly less of a brain rot boogie with croonsome vocals a la Jarvis Cocker and a squelchy big beat pop song that destroys Fat Boy Slim and the Chemical Bros. Oddly enough, Aphex prodigy Cylob is responsible for the two great mixes filling out this four-track single. Better than 'I'm Too Sexy', up there with 'Der Commissar', somehow kinda like both. No ifs, ands, or buts...you'll either think this is silly and hate it, or think it's silly and love it. We love it!

JONES, FERN The Glory Road (Numero Group) cd 16.98
Man, what a great set of releases the Numero Group is building. Each one not only details a particular artist/label in song, but through well-considered packaging and extensive liner notes we get a great sense of what went on behind the music. Amazing! Well, this time round, we have Fern Jones. A gifted gospel singer, who's voice carries similar croon power and soul-fire intensity as Patsy Cline or a young Elvis.
Fern's career was bittersweet, however. Early on, Fern and husband played/sang their hearts out through Evangelical tent tours all over the South, selling a vanity recording (The Joneses Sing) out of the back of their sedan. Dot Records soon released Singing A Happy Song in 1959, for which Fern had acquired a stunning backing band: Hank "Sugarfoot" Garland on guitar (Roy Orbison, Marty Robbins, Conway Twitty, Hank Williams Sr., Everly Brothers), Floyd Cramer on piano (Bobby Bare, Patsy Cline, Wings, Johny Cash, Chet Atkins), Joe Zinkan on bass (Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn), and Buddy Harman on drums (Reba McEntire, Hank Snow, Willie Nelson) -- all of whom were fresh off a 1958 session with Elvis.
Despite several tours (without a single to promote), Fern's "rockabilly gospel style" songs never caught on with a conservative buying public. Fern soon stopped performing all together and found it impossible to gain back the rights to her songs after the label's lease was up. After constant threat that the master tapes might be destroyed (as were all others from that era of Dot) and a fifteen-year letter-writing campaign, Dot Records' second owners, MCA, finally awarded her the rights to these songs once again. And thankfully so. They're amazingly powerful devotionals. If you're a fan of Patsy Cline, and who isn't, you'll love love love these Fern Jones songs!

JONES, GLENN This Is The Wind That Blows It Out (Strange Attractors Audio House) cd 13.98
So what's up with all this old timey guitar solo stuff? I mean, it's like everybody and their uncle's brother all of a sudden wants to pick up the 6 & 12 string guitars and make like they're John Fahey. Well in the case of this Mr. Glenn Jones, he's got some definite background qualifications for getting all John Fahey on us -- he's the guitarist from Cul de Sac, who did a fine record in collaboration with the late John Fahey some years back, and his interest in Fahey, Robbie Basho, Americana and roots music is deep. So we think it's ok (not that anyone asked us), and indeed a resultant great listen, that Jones' first ever solo album is devoted to avant-folk guitar solos in a Faheyesque mode. Besides his playing, Jones makes the Fahey connection/inspiration explict, with a track entitled "Fahey's Car" not to mention his liner notes which mention Fahey quite a bit. He also points out there that even though his instrumentals aren't really *about* anything, they still have associations for him, and will doubtless evoke unknown memories in the listener... This also features a guest appearance from Pelt's Jack Rose (dueting on the track "Linden Avenue Stomp") whose own solo albums of solo guitar music have been much praised by us and others, and who recently wowed AQ with an instore performance.

JONES, GRACE Nightclubbing (Island) cd 11.98
Lately we've fallen deeply under the spell of one of Grace Jones' best outings. While she might be best known for her amazing fashion, body, charisma, overall presence, and her appearances in the Conan and James Bond films, it's her early music that we've been totally obsessed with lately. So while this isn't a new reissue or anything we thought we'd share our love of this classic with you all.
Recorded in 1981 in the Bahamas, Night clubbing is the ultimate snapshot of the greatness of Grace Jones. Musically it's for sure her strongest moment, with Sly & Robbie as her rhythm section the mood is so totally seductive and irresistible. There are so many hits or should-have-been hits on this album. While there have been a few different collections and best ofs, we really think that this proper album blows all of them away. From start to finish Night clubbing just sizzles so hot! It's the perfect late-night, up-to-no-good soundtrack! The title track is of course the Iggy Pop song written by Bowie that somehow Grace takes to new drugged out heights. In fact the whole album feels like the kind of drugged out, raw space disco that you can't help but give into. Sassy, sultry and so damn sexy!
