Jackie O Motherfucker, C or D?

Acid freakout 18 minute country-esque improv. jam sessions, saxophones, harmonica, banjo, violin, cello, and so on, and so on. I'm inclined to say total and utter classic, I think.

pretty good i think. File it next to your no neck blues band recs.

B-but then they wouldn't be in strict alphabetical order!!

― Andrew L, Friday, 19 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes b-but you could do it by 'genre' (it's all abt inventing titles now!).

Though you could do it by alphabetical order within genres but I would be too lazy after filing it by 'invented genre'.

Not unlike Anne Rice to Tom Cruise, I now take back everything I said about you, Tom, for that comment. You would make a wonderful Lestat!

They're playing in New York on Tuesday. At Tonic. With some rad bands. Woot woot.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Thursday, 13 November 2003 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

should be a great show. Scorces is phenomenal.

Tonight, tonight! And Sunroof!

― Ian Johnson (orion), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be there, look for the nervous guy again.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 18 November 2003 23:07 (twenty-two years ago)

aaahhhhh.

heartbreakingly beautiful.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 06:35 (twenty-two years ago)

really? I left early, thought they were kinda boring.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 06:47 (twenty-two years ago)

although I think I was in a bad mood anyway. I missed most of Double Leopards' set and that's who I wanted to see most.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 06:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Saw them at ATP, and dug them quite a bit. A more interesting version of Godspeed.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 07:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I liked Double Leopards least, I think. Scorces were hott with two t's, and very beautiful. The lead female vocalist in Jackie O was amazing; did you leave before the Goodnight song?

And Sunroof... wow. The drummer & second guitarist were the guys from Sunburned Hand Of The Man. Brutal heavy acid rock.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 21:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought Sunroof! would've been better if the drummer wasn't as sloppy (I thought that before he trashed the kit, mind you). I mean, it definitely had some great moments, but it was a little unnerving that as soon as he'd start to settle on a pattern, he'd drop it for some sloppy fill then do something else. The guitar playing was pretty great, though.

I've seen Scorces be better. They were good last night, but for some reason I just wasn't into it as much as when I'd seen them in the past.

I left pretty early on into JOMF's set. I think I was just kinda in a bad mood because I went by myself and didn't really know anybody there (tho I ran into Alan Licht and Dave Pajo outside as I was leaving, and talked for a couple minutes).

― hstencil, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 23:52 (twenty-two years ago)

The drummer was really fucking drunk, but I liked how it constantly changed. Drumming that varies is infinitely better than boring 4/4 or 6/8 or something.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Thursday, 20 November 2003 02:01 (twenty-two years ago)

...if you're good enough to pull it off, which I don't think he was (maybe due to inebriation). A lot of his fills were just really weak, it didn't really pack the swing that a good super-heavy-guitar-psych jam needs, IMO. He did have a lot of muscle and energy, though.

sorry bro they were like the only people I knew there.

More namedropping?

― Matt #2, Monday, 23 July 2007 21:59 (eighteen years ago)

more JOMF

― admrl, Monday, 23 July 2007 21:59 (eighteen years ago)

hstencil's "namedropping" doesn't bother me. It's fine. I like it how he always talks about the guy from GGD who stole his headphones.

― admrl, Monday, 23 July 2007 22:00 (eighteen years ago)

i only know them from that show last year with bunnybrains and sir richard, but they were great there. massive sound, mad gibbering vocals, awesomeness.

― tipsy mothra, Monday, 23 July 2007 22:13 (eighteen years ago)

would love to see them live

What the hell, just heard them for the first time and it was good. Who knew?

― john. a resident of chicago., Monday, 22 October 2012 19:29 (thirteen years ago)

fig.5 still the best for me. think that album set me up to like a lot of so-called freakfolk or whatever and hardly anthing i heard after that album - by other bands - was as good.

― scott seward, Monday, 22 October 2012 19:34 (thirteen years ago)

what are some good albums to start with these folks? have heard the name for years but tbh i kind of don't like the name but just listening now to ballads of the revolution and it's really good. occupies kind of a similar space as some mv & ee records

― marcos, Thursday, 8 January 2015 18:54 (eleven years ago)

I dig this one, "Black Squirrels", and its associated album "The Magick Fire Music", pretty well. Always found them to be a pretty mixed bag but when good they are really good:

― grandavis, Thursday, 8 January 2015 19:02 (eleven years ago)

They were fantastic the first time I saw them around the time of fig. 5, they had a couple of sax players iirc and the emphasis was mostly on skronky free jazz noise as high-energy drone music, but I never found an album of theirs that captured quite the same vibe

― Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 8 January 2015 19:13 (eleven years ago)

So basically I should check out grandavis's suggestion I think

― Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 8 January 2015 19:16 (eleven years ago)

Check out the split w/ Tom Carter/Helena Espvall from last year; I prefer the Carter/Espvall track but both sides are pretty good!

― cwkiii, Thursday, 8 January 2015 19:18 (eleven years ago)

cool!

digging that black squirrels tune, thanks grandavis

― marcos, Thursday, 8 January 2015 19:18 (eleven years ago)

Haven't listened to that record in ages mind you, just remember "Black Squirrels" being a good listen.

― grandavis, Thursday, 8 January 2015 19:21 (eleven years ago)

Huh, the only time I saw JOM live was at an ATP, and they took SO LONG to tune up/setup that they were only allowed to actually play for a v v short time. It didn't help that I'd seen Vibracathedral Orchestra w/ Matthew Bower deliver a far more effective wig out/whatnot set earlier on that day.

― sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:01 (eleven years ago)

Yeah, one time I saw them live and it was really enjoyable, another it was really unfocused and uneventful. Nature of the beast perhaps.

― grandavis, Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:06 (eleven years ago)

For sure - second time I saw them it was a lot of low-key piddling about with guitars in an aimless kind of way. was actually a lot closer to the two or three records I have by them

― Ottbot jr (NickB), Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:22 (eleven years ago)

I only have Valley of Fire but I love it.

― you've got no fans you've got no ground (anagram), Thursday, 8 January 2015 20:28 (eleven years ago)

IMO "Fig 5" is their stand-out album. One of my all time faves. I'd then listen to "Liberation" and "Change". Saw them live in 2002 or so and was memsmerised - wonderful improv slowly building and congealing before unraveling again. I then saw them later, about 2007 or so, but wasn't so impressed.

― Duke, Thursday, 8 January 2015 22:11 (eleven years ago)

I've seen them twice, really enjoyed one and the other (which I think was the same one Ward saw) didn't really get or go anywhere.

Liberation is the album I'd pick up to listen to probably before any of the others but agree it's not objectively their best, which probably is Fig 5.

Anyone else with the LP version of Magick Fire Music have sides A and C switched? This is prob a question for Discogs or something but figured no one would see it there.

― zacata, Saturday, 26 August 2023 23:54 (two years ago)

CHIAPAS! i must go there!
