I want to be...Jackie O'Nassis...I want to wear a pair of dark sunglasses.....I'd be so happy, I'd be so free, I'd make Ari get down on his knees...
ha ha...but last night...watch my video...you KNOW she sang "I'd feel Ari going down on...oh, nevermind...
Review to post - busy, busy, busy with a college radio conference and stuff, but this will suffice till I get the info on last night's extraordinary show at the House of Blues...
...backstage I was calling out "Homosexual Response...Homosexual Response...I'm a reporter for the BBC..."
"Are you really from the BBC?" the voice called out from the dressing room...and then ...with surprise...I was introduced to someone I didn't know with..."This is an iconic figure from Boston Rock & Roll....Count Viglione..."
I was touched! Humbled...and oh my God what a fantastic show. Which I have on Facebook Live, of course...best performances of HSR and the Axe to date...so glad the Axe boys dragged me out of my usual Friday night routine...totally surprised by the packed House of Blues and the magical performances... more about this soon.
in the meantime, an older review I wrote about
IN A ROMAN MOOD
"Andy Fell," "Pound," and "Land of the Glass Pinecones" are three extraordinary pieces of music on an equally extraordinary album. For those who felt producer Mike Thorne missed the mark with 'Til Tuesday and some of the Shirts' Street Light Shine album, he redeems himself here recording this essential Boston band with both accuracy -- something many of the contemporaries of Human Sexual Response failed to get -- and great production. Andy didn't fall in "Andy Fell," nor was he pushed. He jumped. It's a song about suicide at a dormitory, a frightening and haunting prophecy, since this practice had come into vogue at campuses around Boston in the late '90s. The drums on "Marone Offering" kick right in, as does Rich Gilbert's incessant guitar. The band's genius was generated by the multiple vocalists fronting a perfect rock unit. Imagine a hard rock Temptations during their experimental period fronted by the B-52's. It's a strange mixture that worked, thanks to a combination of talents, all who contributed mightily. "Keep a Southern Exposure" is not one of the band's more well-known tunes, but it provides insight towards their unlimited creativity and ability to execute. Discovered by Don Rose, who went on to form the legendary Rykodisc label before it was purchased by Chris Blackwell, the two HSRPassport Audio albums were re-released on Eat Records, distributed by Rykodisc. Eat was Don Rose's imprint prior to the creation of Rykodisc.
