Keith Frank, "Follow The Leader". Clarke bought this at Floyd's Record Shop in Ville Platte after we got a sno-ball on the way out of town after the Smoked Meat Festival. I talk about Keith Frank a lot in my book; he uses zydeco as a cultural sponge that somehow makes everything into a groovier, earthier version of itself.
Saturday:
Swamp pop bands all day at the Smoked Meat Festival in Ville Platte, LA
Keith Frank, Follow the Leader/Boot Up
Thunderclap Newman, "Something in the Air". Forgot all about this tune until I saw the CD at the library. I am into how it zigs into this percussive tense thing around the 2:00 mark and then zags back into full orchestral '69 lush pop and then comes to a sudden stop.
Sunday:
Television, Marquee Moon
Thunderclap Newman, Hollywood Dream
Luc Ferrari, Presque Rien No. 1, Part 1. I could listen to Luc Ferrari pieces all day but then they are already made out of all day.
Monday:
The Flaming Lips, Hear It Is
J.Paul Jr and the Zydeco NuBreeds, Stronger
Major Handy, Zydeco Feeling
Clifton Chenier, Live Vol. 1
Zammuto, Zammuto
Luc Ferrari, Son Mémorisé
Various artists, Music for Merce Vol. 4
Les Blank's 1973 film Hot Pepper. Don't go trying top make time with Clifton Chenier's woman, especially on what would've been his 87th birthday.
