    "Lurid, licentious and vile, Make me smile.
    Novels that pander
    To my taste for candor
    Give me a pleasure sublime."

  10. DiscogsDienstag: The Smiths – The World Won’t Listen

    „Und immer, wenn wir traurig waren, und traurig waren wir ziemlich oft, gingen wir zu dir nach Hause und da hörten wir die Smiths“ singt Farin Urlaub im Refrain seiner zweiten Solo-Single „Sumisu“ (MusicCloud) aus dem Jahr 2001. Damit hat er auch mein Lebensgefühl der späten Achtzigerjahre sehr schön getroffen. The Smiths waren für mich damals sehr wichtig und ich habe mich in den Texten von Sänger Morrissey wiedergefunden. Mein Einstieg in ihre Musik war 1987 die Kompilation „The World Won’t Listen“, eine Zusammenstellung von Singles und deren B-Seiten, einige der berührensten Songs der Band. Heute bin ich ambivalent, was die Smiths angeht, nachdem Morrissey den Weg zu Xenophobie, Rassimus, Islamophobie und Verschwörungstheorien (Musikexpress) gefunden hat. Es stellt sich mir die ewige Frage, kann und soll man die Kunst vom Künstler trennen?

    Ich lernte Morrissey musikalich als empfindsamen Sänger kennen, der sich für Tierrechte aussprach und gegen Thatcher, Monarchie und die allgemeinen Zustände in seiner Heimat. Vieler seiner Texte waren zudem sehr persönlich und trafen auch meinen Nerv. Heute kann ich The Smiths dagegen nicht mehr unbeschwert (was für ein Attribut in dem Zusammenhang!) hören und ich habe selbst im GothDiscoInferno erst ein Lied von ihnen gespielt, „What Difference Does It Make?“ in der Ausgabe 31. Dabei mag ich ihre Musik nach wie vor.

    Jedenfalls ist „The World Won’t Listen“ ein sehr guter Einstieg gewesen. Nach den ersten drei Alben „The Smiths“ (1984), „Meat Is Murder“ (1985) und „The Queen Is Dead“ (1986) war es bereits die zweite Kompilation nach „Hatful Of Hollow“ (1984). Wie bereits erwähnt, wurden hauptsächlich die Singles zusammengestellt und mit „Panic“, „Ask“, „London“ und „Bigmouth Strikes Again“ geht das Album schon gut los. Es folgen „Shakespeare’s Sister“, nach dem sich die fast gleichnamige Band benannte, „There Is A Light That Never Goes Out“, „Shoplifters Of The World Unite“ und „The Boy With The Thorn In His Side“. „Bigmouth“ und „There Is A Light …“ stammen von Album „The Queen Is Dead“ und wurden nicht als Singles veröffentlicht.

    Die zweite Seite der LP beginnt mit den sehr emotionalen B-Seiten „Asleep“, „Unloveable“, „Half A Person“ und „Strech Out And Wait“, gefolgt von der Single „That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore“. Den Abschluss bilden das instumentale „Oscillate Wildly“, „You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby“, das ursprünglich auch als Single erscheinen sollte, was dann aber nicht geschah und „Rubber Ring“.

    Der Albumtitel soll darauf zurückgehen, dass Morrissey der Auffassung war, kommerzielle Radios und Plattenkäufer würden die Band nicht angemessen würdigen. Da hatte er im Grunde ja auch Recht.
    Das Cover basiert auf einem Bild des deutschen Fotografen Jürgen Vollmer aus dem Buch „Rock ‚N‘ Roll Times: The Style and Spirit of the Early Beatles and Their First Fans“.

    Es war schon ein großer Glücksfall, dass sich die vier Musiker in Manchester zusammengefunden haben. Das Gitarrespiel von Johnny Marr ist extraordinär und auch Bassist Andy Rourke, der leider heute, am 19. Mai, vor 3 Jahren im Alter von 59 Jahren starb und Schlagzeuger Mick Joyce trugen ihre außergewöhnlichen Parts bei. Nach diesem Album erschien im selben Jahr noch „Strangeways, Here We Come“ bevor sich die Smiths trennten. Es folgte noch das Live-Album „Rank“ (1988) und in den Neunziger Jahren einige Best-Of-Alben. Ab 1989 gab es Rechtsstreitigkeiten um Geld, Andy Rourke und Mick Joyce verlangten eine höhere Beteiligung an den Tantiemen, die hauptsächlich Morrissey und Marr zuflossen, die allerdings auch die allermeisten Songs der Band geschrieben hatten. Rourke begnügte sich mit einer Pauschalzahlung, Joyce kämpfte gerichtlich weiter, was bis heute ungeklärt ist.

    Ich war von der Musik so begeistert, dass ich mir auch das Songbook zu „The World Won’t Listen“ gekauft und mich auf der Gitarre an den Songs versucht habe.

  11. My friend, #JasonZeigler performing an _instrumental_ finger pickin' style, very sweet version of #BobDylan Don't Think Twice (it's alright). This was a fear years before his passing, i think. It's my guess he'd been thinking about it. The picture is his #Zeigler family, the Three siblings, the sister (AFAIK is the only one) still living, the younest is Justin who was our age but passed in 2013 of... too much love for #JohnnyWalker

    They left me here all alone. That's f'd up, isn't it?

  13. "The 'accessibility overlay' we talk about and condemn is a combination of three possible problems: [...] Each condition is a different type of flaw. The first may still represent perfectly useful tooling, but with an ableist presentation. The second may actually introduce new accessibility errors. The last actively deceives potential customers."

  14. I fixed a couple more bugs in the DnD game on the HP2000. Heal was broken, and the FD 'Fight to the Death' mode basically just killed you. Oops. These were typos when entering that old text code into the system. On the upside, it is very stable and working. Now to start smoothing out the text display and remove some of the testing 'you are here' stuff I put in to debug it. There is no debugger in the HP2000 BASIC!
