STARSHIP OF BONE AND OTHER FAVOURITES

I have compiled an assortment of (mostly) Canadian home recordings for your enjoyment. If you listen closely, you might notice that some of these “low-fi” musicians are also cartoonists. Some are not. Many do other things besides cartooning and/or music making. One is a defense lawyer. Another is a librarian. At least one of them is involved in the carpentry trade and there is a shopkeeper and a “seasonal” worker in the mix. There is one in particular I know nothing about other than the fact that he seems to enjoy watching television.

Thanks to Kip Jackson for lending me some of his archives. A few of the artists I could not reach and so I hope they don’t mind being part of this informal collection.

Jason Leivian isn’t really a cartoonist, but he is a really great supporter of comics. His store in Portland, Floating World Comics has had lots of great events including a plethora of fundraising artshows. He also puts Diamond Comics, which is up to its 4th issue and gets better with each issue.

My good friend and awesome cartoonist, Mike Myhre pulled together a fine mix of music. Lots of good stuff to listen to and get into!

Jason Turner went full on and did a 24 hour comic based on his mixtape(it actually ended up taking 103 hours). I don’t know if anyone will meet his level of commitment, but it is a fine mix to listen to. Jason is one of Vancouver’s finest talents. His True Loves comics have been one of those rare examples of a comic set in my home town.

Many thanks to Jeffrey Brown for putting together not only a fine mix, but also for providing an awesome comic to go along with it. The mix really reflects his own work in a nice way. Here is a link to the art at full size.

Noah Van Sciver’s mix actually had me hunting pretty hard for some of the tracks, so he gets some well deserved kudo’s. Noah was on the show a couple of months ago to talk about his great comic, Blammo. I like his comics and you should too.

Ed Choy Moorman was a part of the burgeoning cartooning scene in Minneapolis, but has since moved to Chicago. He recently released the anthology, Ghost Comics. Ed will be joining on the show at some point soon. Here is a PDF of the artwork and instructions to add to your enjoyment.

18. TOWNES VAN ZANDT – PONCHO AND LEFTY

PULP – BABIES

Jarvis Cocker’s stories sound skeevy, sweaty, and desperate. Of course I identify.

JAY-Z – DECEMBER 4

Jay acts like a star so convincingly, you soak up his swagger. That’s the secret to his success. Morrissey’s taken a similar perspective recently.
Jay-Z: “If you can’t respect that, your whole perspective is wack. Maybe you’ll love me when I fade to black.” – “December 4”
Moz: “You don’t like me but you love me – either way, you’re wrong. You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone!” – “All You Need Is Me”

LAURIE ANDERSON – LET X=X

Anderson married Lou Reed a couple years back.
My friend Abby remarked that you don’t know who to be jealous of.

HANDSOME FURS – I’M CONFUSED

HF are Dan Boeckner from Wolf Parade and his wife, the writer Alexei Perry. Wolf Parade fans tend to prefer its other frontman, Spencer Krug. Krug is cute, literary, and spouts surreal lyrics. He’s fine and all, but as far as I’m concerned, Boeckner’s the man. Example: Boeckner has a six-inch tattoo of a Halloween black cat on his bicep. I know that because he was wearing a cut-off Metallica Kill ‘Em All t-shirt when I saw Wolf Parade. He reminds me of a modern, more anxious Bruce Springsteen.
I felt a story threading through these songs starting here.

RANDY NEWMAN – GUILTY

This man became famous for the Toy Story soundtrack. What a world!
The “warts and all” approach to character is almost dull it’s so common in comics, but it’s still rare in songwriting.

THE LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT – DESPERADO

The Eagles song. These recordings come from the classroom of an elementary school music teacher who was a failed musician. He had the crazy idea that kids should be singing popular songs, the songs that they like.

TOM WAITS – I DON’T WANNA GROW UP

I bought a cassette of Bone Machine for a dollar at the Salvation Army across the street from the School of Visual Arts in NY when I toured the school. I had heard of, but never heard Waits. I started the ignition on my mom’s old Dodge and popped it in the deck. I swore there were ghosts in my stereo. I was hooked.
The Ramones covered this in the ‘90s.

THE SHANGRI-LAS – OUT ON THE STREETS

It shouldn’t work. If someone were to tell me about it, I’d think it was probably cornball garbage. But I buy it. All of it.

The story thread seems to end with this one.

LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS HOT FIVE – WEST END BLUES

I heard this in Ken Burns’ Jazz.

DAVID BYRNE – GLASS, CONCRETE AND STONE

My friend J.P. once told me about when he left Illinois for the first time to go to school. He got in his red pickup at 7AM and put in a tape that his childhood best friend, Andrew, had made for him. The tape hissed and Andrew’s voice came from the speaker. Then a ‘click,’ indicating Andrew pressing ‘stop’ on the tape recorder. “Glass, Concrete and Stone” began. Tears streamed down J.P.’s face by the time Byrne reached the chorus.

THE WALKMEN – EVERYONE WHO PRETENDED TO LIKE ME IS GONE

My favorite modern band, easy. I love their textures, and their disaffected tone.

FRANK ZAPPA – UNCLE REMUS

I’ve put this on every mix tape I’ve ever made. Its buildup makes it a great transition. In high school I tried to find out if Zappa made any other music like it. He didn’t.

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE – WINTERLONG (LIVE)

When I was in high school, I thought that I would like to make a movie that ends with a slow-motion car crash, soundtracked by “Winterlong.”

I probably shouldn’t have told you that.

SUICIDE – DREAMS

I got this off the Open Ends: Musical Exploration in New York 1960-2000 CD from the MoMA store. I stole that from my mom.
Bruce Springsteen covered their “Dream Baby Dream” live.

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS – ALPHA RATS NEST

John Darnielle writes the best sensory details of any songwriter I’ve ever heard. And it’s anthemic enough for a car full of teenagers to wail along with at the top of their lungs.
I consider him a gold standard. Same with Newman.

R.E.M. – SHAKING THROUGH

I love Stipe’s voice cracking during the bridge. Murmur’s my favorite album.

WHY? – FATALIST PALMISTRY

Yoni Wolf writes about sex and death. How could I resist? I’d like to cover this as a country song.

TOWNES VAN ZANDT – PANCHO AND LEFTY

I heard the story is that Lefty got paid to kill Pancho. That’s why Townes says, “Pancho needs your prayers, it’s true, but save a few for Lefty too. He just did what he had to do, and now he’s growing old.”
There’s an old screenwriting dictum that “The audience cries when the characters don’t.” I get that here. Van Zandt’s warmth, subtlety, and empathy for his characters always surprises me, no matter how many times I hear his songs.
Check out the documentary about him; Be Here to Love Me. Tons of crazy stories.

Cayetano Garza Jr is one of those talented folks out of The Center for Cartoon Studies. His work can be seen in the Funny Aminals anthology and his webcomic Year of the Rat.

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned the idea of doing a cartoonist’s mix tape. Well, I decided to give it a  shot. There will be no regular schedule to it, they will just appear out of nowhere.

For the first mix, I thought we should start out with a bang. Trevor Alixopulos does his own radioshow as well as great comics, so he seems to be a perfect mix for what we are trying to do here.

Here is his playlist -

02 Cowboy Song – Thin Lizzy
03 Ask the DJ – Mr. Hudson & the Library
04 Millionaire – Kelis
05 My Old Jams Still Slam – Shakespeare and Last Empire
06 September Song – Walter Huston
07 I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground – Bascam Lamar Lunceford
08 2 Hearts (twelves remix) – Kylei Minogue
09 Fly By NIght – The Glamour
10 Nowhere Girl – B Movie
11 This Modern Love – Bloc Party
12 Rational Behavior – Mount Sims
13 50-50 – Sad Lovers & Giants

Trevor added this comment, “Hey, musical people can catch my radio show this sunday night, 11pm-1am Pacific Time, streaming live on http://www.krcb.org “.
