MonsterGirl Lives!!! The Last Drive In blog stirs~”It’s Alive It’s Alive”!

Jo has finally contributed some of her thoughts to her The Last Drive In blog as MonsterGirl... The name she was given as the little bullied girl who because of her love of horror, suspense and Sci-Fi found a way to escape the everyday madness of growing up a strange, sensitive and creative soul.

She’s written a series of essays most recently about Boris Karloff’s Television Anthology series Thriller. This is just the beginning of the various subjects MonsterGirl will cover in the weeks ahead.

Please stay tuned and journey to The Last Drive In if you should feel the urge!

SWEET DREAMS ALL…and don’t forget to look under the bed!

Mike Fazio contributes to Textura’s new release Kubla Khan

Jo’s long time friend and collaborator Mike Fazio contributes a stunning piece “Waning Moon Over Sunless Sea”  for Textura’s new Kubla Khan project 

http://www.textura.org/

 

TRACK LISTING

1. The Retail Sectors: “Precarious Awakening” (5:51)
2. Alexander Turnquist: “Fragments Vaulted Like Rebounding Hail” (17:25)
3. Ryan Francesconi: “Parables” (5:41)
4. Ryan Francesconi & Lili De La Mora: “Green To Red” (3:10)
5. Ryan Francesconi: “Deep Rivers Run Quiet” (4:13)
6. orchestramaxfieldparrish: “Waning Moon Over Sunless Sea” (18:44)
7. The Retail Sectors: “The Ever-Changing Scene” (6:46)

Despite the artists’ stylistic differences, Kubla Khan‘s admittedly disparate parts coalesce to deliver a resplendent listening experience that feels immensely satisfying and whole.

orchestramaxfieldparrish
Since 1999, Mike Fazio has issued solo material under the orchestramaxfieldparrish guise and since 2005 been active as one-half of the experimental ambient-industrial outfit Gods of Electricity. Fazio’s symphonic sculpting of electric guitar- and pedal steel guitar-generated sounds is heard to marvelous effect on the frozen vistas of orchestral sweep comprising his recent release The Silent Breath of Emptiness. Drifting chords and sustained tones coalesce into metallic soundscapes of lyrical beauty during the work’s five connecting parts.

Organ’s radio Resonance 104.4FM Plays Bulldozer~May 18,2008

 

Sunday, May 18, 2008

  

LATEST ORGAN RADIO SHOW @ RESONANCE 104.4FM – who got played, details, links…  Organ show with Sean O on RESONANCE 104.4FM, Sunday May 18th  2008, 9.00pm – On your FM dial all over London and worldwide via www.resonancefm.com.  Who got played this week? How do you find our more? Here come the details…  1/intro: TRANSISTOR SIX – Back Yard Rocketship (Blackbean & Placenta) – our adopted theme tune so you know where you are. Transistor Six is Frances Castle, there’s lots of her fine art and creativity to explore from Francis so please please do. You can now get the whole tune downloaded for yourselves and find links to her artwork, albums and lots more over atwww.myspace.com/transistorsix    2: PORT O’BRIEN – I Woke Up Today (City Slang) – Now how good is this new single from the San Francisco alt/folk outfit, this I do believe is from their debut album, they’re over here in London at the Borderline on May 29th and I’m off to find out more –www.myspace.com/portobrien or www.portobrien.com or www.cityslang.com     3: KEV HOPPER – Punch And Judy (download) – Been re-discovering Stump and Kev Hooper stuff recently, something to do with the Stump three CD set of re-issues that’s coming out next month, more on that soon. Meanwhile Stump man Kev Hopper has made a whole load of his post Stump material available for free download via his website (though he does mention a Paypal donation would be nice if you’re of a mind) – find out more and find this track over at – www.spoombung.co.uk 4: EXPERIMENTAL DENTAL SCHOOL – What Ghosts See (Cochon) – Ah yes, they have a new album called Jane Doe Loves Me. More microscope lab voices and obscene back porch floating from the most experimental dental school of them all. They’re from Portland –  seriously bendy pointy pronky jazzy new wave and complex Devo shapes and Casiotones and machines that are programmed for questions and get away from that door people mover. Album of the week on the Organ website this week and I think we love even more than last time – www.experimentaldental.com or find it in the UK via www.cargorecords.co.uk – and you can treat yourself to some 2006 live You Tube footage here 5: BUNTY CHUNKS – Calling All Cars (Noiseburger) – A band we’ve played lots, a band who we had the pleasure of releasing material for and a band who played quite a few Organ shows on bills in places like the Camden Monarch  back in the days of Huge Baby and Monsoon Bassoon at such. Tonight I’m rather sad to report we’re playing then in celebration of bass player Matt Kinnison who passed away last week at the stupidly young age of 42, grab every day and create people, do things, make things, just like Matt did both with Buntychunks and Cindytalk, you’ll find a lot more about Matt on line with this week’s Organ, and tonight’s show is dedicated to and in celebration of Matt and his contributions. Bunty Chunks will always be one of favourite bands and this track was from their sixteen track Brain EP released on DIY label Noiseburger back in 1996 6: ULAN BATOR – D.Press TV (Les Discques Du Soleil Et De L’Acier) – A fine moment from the left-field alternative French band’s rather fine, rather dark, rather forward looking and still rather fresh sounding 1996 “free rock” album “2” – explore them over at www.myspace.com/ulanbatorarchieve  7: SCARAMANGA SIX – I Can See A Murder (Wrath0 – B-side of the Leeds band’s new single Walking Through Houses and how good is this b-side!? The single is out on Monday 19th May and can’t you just tell that Tim Smith (he of Cardiacs) had a hand in the production (and a healthy musical influence those Cardiacs are as well). Another fine moment from the always good Six then… www.thescaramangasix.co.uk or www.myspace.com/thescaramangasix 8: JO GABRIEL – Bulldozer (Ephemera) – She’s wonderful, her latest self released album comes with added vocals, a lazy signpost would point you vaguely in the direction of Kate Bush or Tori Amos but she’s far far more than just another one. This track is from a very special album called Fools And Orphans. You can read a full Organ review here and you can explore her via  9: EXPERIMENTAL DENTAL SCHOOL – Uh Huh – Na Uh (Cochon) – Another track from their excellent new album, see track four for more details. 10: BACK TO THE PLANET – Teenage Turtles (Arthur Mix) – And what are we doing playing this vintage slice of classic 90’s festi-punk tonight? Well they’re back for the summer, catch them at a whole load of festivals including the Paradise Gardens free Festival – Back To The Planet, on stage 6.45pm, May 25th, Victoria Park, London E3 – Paradise Gardens web site iswww.paradisegardens.org.uk. Oh look, Katy Carr, Alabama 3 and loads more on the bill. Meanwhile  the BTTP web site iswww.backtotheplanet.com. 11: BUTTHOLE SURFERS – Lady Sniff (Download) – Well at last, an excuse to play the Texans! We’ve been waiting for ten years and the wait is over, they’re coming back to the UK. Yes indeed! Climb that Hairway. The dates are: 4th July at the ABC, Glasgow then 5 Jul Academy 2, Manchester, 6 Jul Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton, and then The Forum, London on Sat 26 July  The band are also doing some US shows and for these shows, Jeff Pinkus will be on bass and Teresa Taylor (along with King Coffey) on drums. This is the rhythm section the band had for most of the 80s and marks the first time this line up has played together since 1989. Paul Leary has prior commitments and unfortunately can’t play the European dates (he will be on stage for the New York City show and possibly more stateside). “However, fear not, our European friends. Joining the band onstage for all shows in the US and Europe will be The Paul Green School of Rock All-Stars. This mob of teenage geniuses will blow your mind, forming a virtual Butthole Surfers Orchestra when they play with Gibby and company. Check back for more confirmed dates/ticket info (more European dates announced soon). – www.buttholesurfers.com  – and that’s where you can get a whole load of free Butthole downloads including the track we played tonight. 12: OPERATOR PLEASE – Whip It (Brille) – B-side of the forthcoming Just A Song About Ping Pong single (out June 30th) and a wired-up teenage punk rock Devo cover that whips it all real good, they’re off on a UK tour with Futureheads this monthwww.operatorplease.co.uk or www.brillerecords.com or www.myspace.com/operatorplease 13: TRICLOPS – Iraqi Curator (Alternative Tentacles) – One more visit to the excellent new album from the self proclaimed “acid punk” outfit from San Francisco. Tight twisting angled prog-punk and they feature members of Victim’s Family, Lower Forty Eight, Bottles And Skulls and Fleshies – www.triclopsband.com or www.alternativetentacles.com 14: FLYING LUTTENBACHERS – Trauma 1 (ugExplode) The almost legendary free-jazz, no-wave impro-noise album that they put out at the start of the century as a very limited vinyl only thing has now be released on CD, Trauma is a hardboiled impro noise fest even by the hardboiled standards of the Luttenbachers  – one of the finest bands in the world, explore everything Weasel Walter is involved in. Find out more about Trauma here – www.nowave.pair.com/ugexplode. Find some classic downloadshere on the Skin Graft page that will serve as an introduction (you’ll find loads of other good stuff on there as well – Pre, Cheer Accident, everything on Skin Graft is worth your ear and a slice of your heart…)     15: G.G ALLIN –  Caemelita (download) – The chaotic hedonistic punk rocker never sounded so mellow with this strung out country and western number and some mariachi static on the radio. Ah hell, Butthole Surfers and GG Allin on the same show, I admit it, I was just being self indulgent, never imagined I’d ever get the chance – www.ggallin.co.uk   16: BLACK BONZO – Thorns Upon A Crown (The Laser’s Edge) – How more bombastically prog rock and wonderfully over the top can it be! The last musical taboo, full on Hammond throbbing  prog rock from Sweden. A track from their massive monster of a progging prog as f album Sound Of The Apocalypse that cane out recently. The band will be in the UK next month, including a London show (well almost), at the Peel in Kingston-Upon-Thames on June 22nd – www.myspace.com/blackbonzo  17: BUNTY CHUNKS – Much Urdu About Nothing (Noiseburger) – see track 5, thanks Matt.  18: RUSSIAN CIRCLES – Campaign (Suicide Squeeze) – A taste of the soon to be released new album from the refined instrumental post-rock outfit from Chicago, the album is out on June 9th  www.myspace.com/russiancircles or www.suicidesqueeze.net – thank you for listening, hope you heard something that makes you want to get involved…. same time same place next week with Marina’s Other Rock show and the exploration of rock music that adventures beyond the conventions of 4/4…

GRATITUDES:
To Wendy Christensen my partner in life and love who I not only fiercely admire and adore but who revels in my ways with wonder and devotion. Linda Mackley for continuing to bring me her incredible thunder amidst my rain. I could not play without her! Wendy Schneider for her boundless tenacity in getting things done and rocking the world every step of the way. Hannah Fury who’s relentless support and friendship got me through many restless days and nights, forging our sisterhood and bringing her own style of inimitable beauty of sight and sound into the world. To Mike Fazio for his ability to sculpt sound so masterfully and for all the coffee and cold glasses of Stella Artois. To all the incredible musicians who contributed their musical voices to this album and made it shimmer. To M.Scott Young who graciously allowed me to rummage through his Plenty Room and for the use of his tympanis.To my beloved feline tribe still here with me, I owe you all the credit for my joy! Boo, Oliver ,The Zazu bear, George “Yorga Banoushe” Hermione “Mishka” Annie “the Schpoody” with the pinkest of noses, Ms. Daisy A’Dare, Laszlo and Gerty Mae Brown. And to those who have moved onto Summerland Nicholas, The Groots, Sophie Shaloolie, Boris Pinsky, Milo “Beast”, and of course my wonderful Angeline.To my beloved Starkweather Creek who’s beautiful serenity is evidence of Heaven. And once again Harald Lowy + Kalinkaland for continuing to believe in me.

 

DEDICATION:
This album was created in memory not only of the beloved feline companions I have lost along the way but in particular to The Lady Cat, Angeline (alias: Victorine) my extraordinary Abyssinian who left here too soon and took away with her a vital piece of my heart. I have written How The Devil Falls In Love for her. It is she who inspired the theme of loss, longing and madness that drives Fools and Orphans. “Dear Angeline, living without you here has buried me alive” I’ll see you all again someday~

Blessed Be- Jo Gabriel PS: Dear Beast, I didn’t get out of the water!

Undrentide72 Lastfm:Review~Fools and Orphans

by undrentide72

Jo Gabriel – Fools and Orphans

7 May 2008, 15:33

By now everyone that knows me will realise that im totally indebted to the music made by the rather wonderful Hannah Fury, in particular her sublime and often quietly scary Through the Gash. So you know that when i listen to something else it must be rather special to grab my attention.
Enter jo gabriel, a woman of unusual talent and although she’d hate me for saying this – up there with Kate Bush when it comes to skewed off centre piano meanderings and vocal acrobatics.
I first heard Jo through LastFm and the track Tinderbox which for me is like a sister song to the song Spark by Tori Amos. This track had me hooked straight away, and my good friend boxhead from Ninthspace.org (who by the way reviews Jo’s music so much more succinctly than i can so check his page out), jumped on Jo’s bandwagon with me.
Today celebrates a limited edition artists release of Jo’s new album entitled Fools and Orphans, and what a corker it is. Again, the nearest points of reference are the vocal stylings of Kate Bush around the time of The Sensual World album.
Listening to the album is an intimate affair, perhaps better appreciated when sitting quiet with a nice chilled glass of wine to hand rather than having it on when your stuck in rush hour traffic listening to dozens of other people music competing in volume with your own.
This is an album that deserves and warrants respect right from the opening track
Bulldozer to its closing bonus track which Jo has said is called Heavy.
Bulldozer is one of the more immediate tracks for me, Jo’s voice is quiet and soothing apart from the piercing calls of “Why should i love you?”, accompanied by the clarion call of trumpets.
Other stand out moments for me are The Habits of Shadows which spookily enough features Hannah Fury on backing vocals, and the paganesque soundingGod Grant that she lye still which is being used in an upcoming movie project.
I havent lived long enough with the album yet to discover its charms fully but i can heartily recommend it to fans of female vocalists who are slightly left of the mainstream. Think a more restrained Kristin Hersh or (yes again!) Kate Bushand you have jo gabriel.
For those who wish to investigate Jo’s music further you can sample her at her myspace page here or visit her website here.
On a final note for those of you who are fond of late night piano music you could do a whole lot worse than by checking out Jo’s album The Amber Sessions!!

• Right on

  Nice review Paul! Jo makes wonderful music.

  I was going to open my review with ‘6:58 are you sure where my spark is?’ but hey, you referenced it instead :-) Spooky huh?

  Of Love and Ether is probably my favourite, apart from Heavy (I adore the piano in that).. and The Habits of Shadows.. and Bulldozer.. and oh-so-many others..

  I’m gonna play ‘pimp my blog’ with a link to my review. Hope you don’t mind ;-)
