JAMES WHITE AND THE BLACKS
Off-White
1979 Canada pressingAnother great one from the “ #nowave ” pile from yesterday, one of a handful of James Chance-related records.
This takes the music made with The Contortions and reframes it through groovy dance music.
It’s still weird (because everything Chance did had a bit of weirdness to it), just a little more disco. 😂Punks and art-punks at the time had a universal disdain & hostility for dance music.
Here, Chance gave them something they could get behind. Angular guitars, #avantgarde #jazz rhythms, all mixed over very danceable and hypnotic drums.It was a very divisive album when it came out, but it’s now recognized as an underground cult classic.
It’s been great to hear all these Chance-related albums again these last few days. They just don’t pop up in my neck of the woods that often.

CONTORTIONS
Buy
1979 U.S. pressingOne of the 4 artists that appear on the previously posted No New York compilation, & one of a FEW James Chance-adjacent albums I picked up today.
Chance was a flamboyant saxophonist who was a very integral part of that late #70s /early #80s #nowave /#artrock scene in New York.
He and The Contortions played a very #avantgarde kind of punky #funk music, with flourishes of #jazz as well.
Buy was the original band’s ONLY record, coming a year AFTER that No New York compilation. Shortly after that, Chance became the star, and proceeded to have many different bands and projects over the years, including a “not at all the same” James Chance And The Contortions, which was just Chance and a bunch of other randoms.
None of the post-Buy “Contortions” albums ever did much for me.THIS album is friggin great, though.

JAPAN
Tin Drum
1981 Canada pressingWhile I was at my local shop this morning, a gentleman came in to sell about 30 of his records.
I ended up buying ALMOST all of them.Along with the No New York compilation I posted earlier, it was all made up of #obscure #nowave , #punk , #postpunk , #newwave , #synthpop , and #experimental #artrock from the late #70s and early #80s .
This was one that I was very excited about. I’ve never owned a CLEAN original Tin Drum on vinyl before, and I’m SIKED.
I’m a big fan of Japan (and of David Sylvian) in general, and Tim Drum was the first album by Japan I ever heard.
I was so mystified by it, that I instantly set off on finding others, which lead me to working backwards towards Adolescent Sex, Obscure Alternatives, Quiet Life and Gentlemen Take Polaroids.“Ghosts” is an incredible tune. It still gives me goosebumps.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
No New York
1978 U.S. pressingThe crown jewel of today’s finds from downtown; a PRISTINE original upgrade copy from my unlistenable beat-to-shit one, and one of the most influential compilations ever.
The NYC “no wave” scene didn’t last long, but Brian Eno was ALL about it, after witnessing some of the bands at an art space in Manhattan.
Eno wanted to record these very out of the box bands for posterity, and opted to do it in a very “live” off-the-cuff manner.
4 bands contributing 4 songs each, it is a pivotal document of what was happening in the late-70s NYC underground.
The Contortions (more on them later), Teenage Jesus And The Jerks, Mars, and D.N.A.; all envelope pushers in the best sense of the phrase.
I’ve been wanting an original CLEAN copy of this for a long time, so today was like Christmas.

As I finished some schoolwork today, I blasted a No Wave compilation from the 2000s, probably baffling my neighbors with my early morning practices.

C’était l’époque où Vladimir Poutine faisait campagne à cheval, torse nu en plein hiver. J’ai innocemment demandé qui était ce malade à moitié à poil sur son poney et le présentateur de télé russe a failli en manger son micro.

Mon travail consiste à confronter l’apathie et toutes les forces qui nous écrasent, y compris l’auto-oppression.
L’art doit secouer la cage, réveiller les gens et me réveiller moi-même.

#NowPlaying #postpunk #artpunk #1980s
First heard this band through a dubbed tape long before it was reissued. My ex put me on. Similar vibe to Pink Section. Honestly sounds a bit #NoWave but they’re from Portland not NY. https://communitylibrary.bandcamp.com/album/jungle-nausea -
DUSTdevils - Gutter Light
Always a must buy when I see these fine folks in the shop. I had Rhenyards Grin back in the #80s and obsessed over it for a bit. Funny enough, more than 20 years later, I was chatting about music on line and ended up in a conversation with Michael Duane. Told him how much I loved his records and asked what he was up to. Ends up he was working with Bendle from The Door and The Window and they were looking for a drummer. I ended up joining up to do a couple of releases. Really proud of the work

Nice, albeit, brief interview with Adele Bertei on the NYC #NoWave scene.
Looking forward to reading bits about early days of Kathy Acker & Lizzy Mercier Descloux
