Candy Slice Group, “Gimme Mick” (Saturday Night Live, Feb 17 1979)

Patti Smith’s music and words are about the closest thing to religion in my life, so it’s with mixed feelings that I give you this excerpt from SNL’s “Rock Against Yeast” skit in which Gilda Radner reprises her Candy Slice character who had appeared first earlier that season, when Patti was at her commercial peak.

The skit takes aim at rock benefit concerts, punk rock culture, rock stardom in general, and here, Patti Smith in particular (with a side of Mick Jagger).

(Video cued to begin at Gilda's segment at 5:32 but it doesn't seem to be behaving when run within Mastodon.)

🇬🇧 David Bowie "Diamond Dogs" – 1974

A dystopian and theatrical concept album inspired partly by Orwellian imagery and urban decay, the record unfolds like a post-apocalyptic stage production.
Bowie’s vocals are expressive and theatrical, shifting between menace, exhaustion, and swagger...

FRIPP & ENO
Evening Star
1980 Canada pressing

A favorite for go-to early evening vibeage.

Two masters collaborating for the second time; most effectively on the beautiful title track, and the near 29 minute headfuck that is “An Index Of Metals”, which takes up the entirety of Side 2, which simmers and drones, becomes more distorted, disturbing and disfigured as it unfolds.

Truly one of the fifteen or so best #ambient #minimal albums of all time.

Long. Live. Frippertronics.

The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

They fucking kill it.
