Shake It Update - 6/30/09
Hey all... thanks again for stopping by & check out what we have goin' on. Kinda
a short week 'cos of the holiday but there's a new Wilco, Bjork & Moby among
others.
We were saddened to learn of the passing of local music supporter, icon & friend
of the store, Michael Riley. Many may have known him from his years behind
the counter at Mole's back in the day or the WAIF show, The Danceable
Solution.
There was much more than just those few examples that he brought to
the local music scene.
There's most likely to be some type of rememberence later
this year. He was good, good man. He'll be missed by many friends & family.
King Records of Cincinnati Book Back In Stock!
We got more of Randy's new book. Its a great overview of the label via 120+ pages
of rare photos, short bios & interesting facts. Definitely a keeper. if ya don't know
the story.... Starting with a few songs and a dream in 1943, King Records
launched musical careers from a shabby brick factory on Brewster Avenue in
Cincinnati's Evanston neighborhood. Founder Sydney Nathan recorded country
singers Cowboy Copas, Hawkshaw Hawkins, Wayne Raney, and others and later
added black acts such as James Brown and the Famous Flames, Bull Moose
Jackson, Hank Ballard and the Midnighters, Lonnie Johnson, and Freddy King.
Meanwhile, King also explored polka, jazz, bluegrass, comedy, gospel, pop,
and instrumental music—anything that Nathan could sell. Although King's
Cincinnati factory closed in 1971, the company's diverse catalog of roots music
had already become a phenomenon. Its legacy lives on in hundreds of classic
recordings that are prized by collectors and musicians. Available online.
Afghan Whigs & Michael Jackson? Believe It! Kinda...
From Summerkiss:
By now, everyone knows that Michael Jackson has left the building. Regardless of what
you thought about his off-stage behavior, the man was a genius when writing, performing
and recording music.
In a 2004 interview , Greg Dulli had this to say about the gloved one:
LP: Spin and Rolling Stone are doing their 10 year Kurt Cobain remembrance issues.
How do you see the change in music culture since he died?
GD: Kurt Cobain was a friend of mine. We were on the same label [Sub Pop]. We toured
together. We stayed at each other's houses when we were on the van circuit. Watching
him write an album that went to number 1. An album that replaced Michael Jackson,
who was my musical hero for years..
LP: Really? The King of Pop?
GD: It's still not too late for him. I need to have a talk with him. When I was on Columbia,
I really tried to get Tommy Matolla to set up a meeting with me and Michael Jackson, so
I could straighten him out, but nothing happened.
As a virtual tipping of the bottle, you can download/stream The Afghan Whigs (featuring
Steve Myers ) using “Don't Stop Till You Get Enough” as an impromptu intro to “Blame
, Etc”. Recorded live at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta GA on February 26, 1999. I
was there, it was a great night.

Shake It Movie Night Returns To The Art Damage Lodge!
Monday, July 6th @ 8PM
The monks were 5 American GI's in cold war Germany who billed themselves as the
anti-Beatles; they were heavy on feedback, nihilism and electrical banjo. They had
strange haircuts, dressed in black, mocked the military and rocked harder than any of
their mid-sixties counterparts while managing to basically invent industrial, punk and
techno music. The genre-overlapping documentary film not only illustrates the pop
music phenomenon in its political, social and cultural historic contexts, but also
reveals the monks project as the first marriage between art and popular music
and this months before Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground. The five protagonists
of the film came to cold war Germany in 1961 as soldiers and left the country in 1967
as avant-garde monks. For more than thirty years they were not able to talk about
their strange experience. In the film they recount for the first time their adventure.
Check out the trailer. Bring yer own whatever. 4120 Ham Ave in Northside. Check
out the Lodge's other goin-ons here.
We have The Breeders tickets for their 8/5 SGH show! Check here for the

Bjork - Voltaic CD/CD+DVD/2xCD+2xDVD Nonesuch)

live band, made a collection of typically amazing videos and one-step-ahead remixes,
and toured the world. She recorded the Voltaic live CD in one take at Olympic Studio
in London . It's a stunning performance, featuring cutting-edge computer technology,
an old-school horn section and a female, flag-toting Icelandic choir. Deluxe version

Acoustic Kingdom Underground is the companion piece to Kingdom Underground,
and showcases more intimate performances of the album's standout tracks.
Levon Helm - Electric Dirt CD/LP (Vanguard)

David Lynch - David Lynch Presents Fox Bat Strategy: A Tribute To Dave
Jaurequi CDEP (David Lynch Music)
A long-time pet project of film director David Lynch. Fox Bat Strategy features
a cast of musicians who began collaborating with Lynch surrounding the
filming of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me . The same line-up of players
appeared on Fire Walk With Me 's two roadhouse cuts: ''The Pink Room'' and
''Blue Frank'' (as well as made cameos in the film itself). In 1994, these same
musicians, with an invitation from Lynch, re-entered the studio for experimental
collaboration. What emerged were these six tracks. For nearly fifteen years
these songs have remained unreleased and unheard, slow cooking in the
ether of time, all the while retaining a uniquely modern sensibility. This
release is a tribute to the album's late singer and guitarist Dave Jaurequi,
who passed away suddenly in 2006.

Deluxe reissue of the famed in-concert 1983 jam session -- the only known recording

Wait For Me is a radical departure from Moby's recent albums. Liberated from the
pressures of trying to please himself at the same time as the industry, Moby decided
to forego the expensive studios, state-of-the-art equipment, big name guest artists,
and phalanxes of graphic designers and image consultants that have characterized
some of his previous albums. "There's something so relaxing about doing
everything yourself, and not trying to second-guess the market," Moby says.
"It's nice to try to do things for the right reasons -- just make a record because
you want to make a record."

by male country
legends and turns the tables, giving classics by George Jones,
Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty and Eddy Arnold a powerful spin
from a woman's point of view. Guest artists include The Grascals, Jim Lauderdale
and bluegrass stars Rhonda and Darrin Vincent, with producer Anderson playing
guitar on every track.

for the ride.
