Vaadat Charigim is the new band of Juval from TV Buddhas. The latter is a primaeval garage rock band. The new one is a shoegaze, exactly like the title of this post with the voice of Morrissey and Ian Curtis (Joy Division). The latter statement was declared by New Musical Express. The British magazine has given 8 points from the 10 for the Israeli band’s debut album which was released by Burger Records (US). It’s about how the Israeli youth feels themselves in their homeland where the war is so natural.
Ze Beseder Lefahed (It’s Okay To Be Afraid)
“Let’s become nothing together; let’s run away and disappear.”
– It’s a conversation between a guy and a girl.
I’ve had that kind of conflict living in Berlin — it was like leaving the real world here
in Israel and moving to a place that’s safe for young people to not do anything
or do whatever they dream. It’s kind of like disappearing, in a way.”

Abridged version of John Schooley’s legend
„Details of the early life of John Schooley are sketchy. Various sources place his birth either in Columbus, Ohio or Vancouver, British Columbia. We do know that his family moved to the rural enclave of Niangua, Missouri when he was still quite young. His parents were sharecroppers, barely scratching out a living from the rocky soil of the Ozark Mountains. The youngest of eight or possibly nine siblings, John Schooley did not take to farming, or, apparently, work of any kind. He could be found, often as not, shirking his chores to hunch over his guitar. He would stomp his foot on a board or on the front porch, frequently scaring the cows. The family Victrola was stocked with any 78″s that could be found, mostly by Jimmie Rodgers, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Doctor Ross, and Don Van Vliet. Most evenings the family tuned to radio station KWTO out of Springfield, to hear the “Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle with Chet Atkins and his Famous Guitar” perform as part of the syndicated “RadiOzark” network.
School was never to his liking and Schooley quit after graduating the fifth grade. Chafing at the dreary small town life of Niangua, Schooley left never to return. He rambled north to Columbia, Missouri. First trying to put together a hot-jazz combo along the lines of the then-popular Django Reinhart, but he was unable to find suitable musicians. Then, billing himself as “John Schooley and His One Man Band”, he rigged up a kick drum and hi-hat and began performing at “house frolics” and on the sidewalk in front of local record store Whizz Records. He met with minimal success. He was frequently chased away by the proprietor with a broom shortly after setting up. Being unwilling (or perhaps unable) to learn pop hits of the day, Schooley tried to force his listeners to dance to his own frequently atonal blend of blues and country, again with minimal success.
The musical scene in Columbia was so stagnant that when it was announced that bluegrass stars The Oblivians were coming to town, Schooley was able to secure the opening slot even though he had no band together at the time.” He founded the guitar, drum, and vocal trio The Revelators. Surprising success. „When the record, titled “We Told You Not To Cross Us” was released it caused a sensation in at least three Missouri counties and parts of Arkansas and Illinois. The Revelators were immediately rushed off to a whirlwind tour of Europe, which included performances for the as-yet not-dead Princess Diana and Archduke Ferdinand.”
After the break-up he went to Texas „and took whatever work he could find, from oil roughneck to hotel elevator operator. He eventually started another musical combo, the Hard Feelings” while he continued performing as one man band. He added harmonica, snare drum, and washboard to his kick and hi-hat apparatus and recorded some songs. „Voodoo Rhythm recently uncovered the tapes of these songs, long presumed lost, in an oil drum outside of Lockhart, Texas.” Album preview

The Family Fodder is among the funniest British bands ever. Since the mid-70s they have been playing really indie pop music, but literally! It’s independent from everything. So the best. Now here is a vinyl-only collection of 11 love songs, that have never before been released on vinyl. Alig Fodder says about it: „We collected all the love songs together without all the annoying instrumentals, dubs and solos.”

The Sés Story
Line is our brand new fellow in the RNR666 team.
She is from France, but will move to New York soon,
and will do big bites to the Big Apple of course.
Her first article was sent from Santiago de Compostela. Enjoy
from the cases of the annoying little girl
with the shortest interview of the history of humanity
The good wind brought me here in Santiago de Compostela on the 24th of July, the night before the Galician National day (even the Spanish king is present!). This region is the north-western corner of Spain, and it is certainly full of independentists, people strongly attached to their identity and language, how nice!
Cause even though we are in Spain, Galicia is not as warm as you could imagine, and that’s fine enough, I love a little breeze in summer nights. So here I am, after having been offered some fruity white wine and illicit substance, fireworks worthy of a war bombing, and MUSICA. Woooow a big stage and I can hear…wait a minute… that’s…ROCK’N’ROLL. Oooo yeaaah. I can see from far away a tiny woman, ginger short hair, blackly dressed like a proper rocker, perfectly screaming with her hoarse voice, what a talent! She is surrounded by 3 nice stylish men, guitar, bass, percussion, and she rules them the way it should be done.
I get to the first row (thanks to my many years of sneaking experience), and she’s not that small anymore, rather impressive with her strong tattooed arms, and it has its effect, girls are going craAazyyy around here. This is not any woman we can tell. I can’t understand all the words expelled through her mouth but my friend Xemma from AGAL (Associaçom Galega da Língua, id est Association for Galician Language) tells me that she’s a feminist slash, activist slash, independentist, and it shows, ooo… interesting. After playing pop rock’n’roll, she sings a lullaby that everybody in the public knows by heart, this is a SHOW. And among that, other little popular tricks, she adapts some traditional song in Galician version, e.g. Guantanamera. But the best part was about to come… BLUES! Aaaa blues, how I love women’s blues and she definitely has the guts (and the sunglasses) for it! Power and Perfection are the two P’s coming to my mind while dancing as if I was on stage myself (by the way, my neck still hurts from all the headbanging).

Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat) and photographer Glen E. Friedman on the images in ‘My Rules’
Photographer Glen E. Friedman has a new book out in September, ‘My Rules,’ which represents some 30 years and 7 pounds of gorgeous hardcore, hiphop, and skateboarding history. He got together with his old friend Ian MacKaye at Dischord House just outside of Washington D.C. to discuss some of the photographs in Glen’s forthcoming book. (via boingboing)

The Dale Cooper Quartet is a trio, of course. But they never play as a three piece band naturally, because there’re The Dictaphones. The band originally formed as a quartet for an improvisation night in Brest (France) in 2002 in order to play a strange mix of Angelo Badalamenti and the German slow-core-jazz band, Bohren & Der Club of Gore style music. Mysterious, dark, smoky, jazz, exactly like a film by David Lynch. While they’re also under influence of Bretagne’s weather, landscape and people, of course.
from their first album „Paroles de Navarre” (2006).
It’s re-released by Denovali Records (Germany)
Denovali Swingfest, Oct 2-5, Essen with Frederico Albanaese (I), The Haxan Cloak (UK), Ensemble Economique (US), Pan & Me (F), Bohren und der Club of Gore (Ger), Never Sol (Cz), Thees Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (Can), Ben Frost (Aus), The Samuel Jackson 5 (Nor) and more.
The program of Denovali Records varies from sometimes improvised darker experimental sounds, ambient, drone, indie and electronica to darkjazz, jazz or piano and string driven modern compositions.

There’s a book by Judy Blume: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. It’s „about a girl in sixth grade who grew up without a religious affiliation. Margaret’s mother is Christian and her father is Jewish, and the novel explores her quest for a single religion. Margaret also confronts many other pre-teen female issues, such as buying her first bra, having her first period, coping with belted sanitary napkins (changed to adhesive sanitary pads for recent editions of the book), jealousy towards another girl who has developed a womanly figure earlier than other girls, liking boys, and whether to voice her opinion if it differs from those of her friends.”
About these problems with really various style music from pop to punk by all-star girl group of Canberra, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. And surprisingly they’re so good than there we’re sold out shows only. Yes, were. The final show was on 15 Aug.

JUST 25 MINUTES TO GO
Shel Silverstein (1930-1999) was a highly talented many-sided artist: Grammy awarded (for his song „A Boy Named Sue” in 1970, you know it by Johnny Cash), Oscar-nominated singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist musician, writer, poet:
Whatif
Last night, while I lay thinking here,
some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
and pranced and partied all night long
and sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I’m dumb in school?
Whatif they’ve closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there’s poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don’t grow talle?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won’t bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don’t grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems well, and then
the nighttime Whatifs strike again!

Grey Metal
The audience say:
„Holy crap. It sounds like early Pixies went black metal.”
„It’s like the Dum Dum Girls and Dark Throne.”
The competent, Jorge Elbrecht reply:
„I love black metal as much as I love Sonic Youth and the ’60s pop stuff.”
I say: It comes the Liturgy to my mind.
