334: Cass McCombs // Mangy Love

Mangy Love Cass McCombs 2016, Anti- (Bandcamp)

I picked up Mangy Love on deep discount like a year after it came out, on account of digging “Bum Bum Bum” and a few other songs scattered throughout his career to that point. I’ve half-listened to it maybe five times since then but had the general sense I’d probably like it a lot if I could only find the right mood to pay attention to it. It sounded great in that post-Kaputt indie-yacht-rock style that everyone was doing at the time, the kind of sound it used to cost a million to produce that you can now make in any adequately soundproofed space if no one’s too drunk and you have a good engineer. The bass settles nicely into your stomach like a warm drink, everything sounds clean and looked after but not too laboured, and Cass has a nice voice—not unlike Blue Oyster Cult’s Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser actually!

Well, what I did not expect from my session finally properly listening to this record while reading the lyrics sheet was to discover Cass McCombs is a dumbass. Some kind of soporific pop savant, certainly, but also a total dumbass. “Rancid Girl” would’ve been a giveaway if I’d been paying attention that early in the record (look, it took me a while to warm up), with its sneering pervert stepdad description of a 17-year-old the speaker wants to nail (“You’re bad / I mean you smell bad / You talk a lot / And it’s always bad”?), but it wasn’t until women’s lib anthem “Run Sister Run” that I realized I was in the hands of a simpering eejit.

To be read in the voice of a man who swears he sounds like Paul Simon on his voice memo recordings:

“My sister’s a Queen, she ain’t no concubine Don’t call my sister no concubine, she is the Mother of Creation Who are you? Who are you to call her concubine? Don’t you know you got to forgive that you may be forgiven? Run, sister, run”

A sidebar: In my first-year university poli sci class, I watched a man who looked like the host of a Whistler, BC symbiote pretend to fall while walking up the stairs of the lecture hall so he would have a pretext to chat up the girl sitting on the aisle seat. I imagine if he’d had the chance to show her his political poetry it would go something like:

“They’re coming at you from all sides To imprint your body and say they didn’t The highest authority on Cheez Whiz Hiding behind a Supreme Court urinal Run, sister, run Or do male justices piss in a squat? Our sister lives in a squat that pisses on justice Justice is blind and a woman to boot These boots are made for marching and that’s justice too Run, sister, run”

I’m snapping here, but less in the sense of an audience member snapping at a slam and more in the sense of Ken Shamrock.

There are songs on Mangy Love that are vague enough to disguise McCombs’ fundamental dimness, and they are the best ones: “Bum, Bum, Bum” of course, and “It,” and “Switch,” but once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. Back to the background with you, Cass; I hope someday you hit the Shopper’s Drug Mart / CVS playlist jackpot, and no one ever cruelly pays too much attention to you again.

334/365

BLUE ÖYSTER CULT

Announce Studio Album 'Ghost Stories'

due Out April 12th via Frontiers Music Srl

BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is eagerly gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their storied career with the upcoming release of 'Ghost Stories.'

BLUE ÖYSTER CULT is set to captivate fans with a collection of reimagined and newly completed songs that span from 1978-2016. These musical treasures, long considered 'lost gems' by BLUE ÖYSTER CULT enthusiasts, were originally recorded between 1978 and 1983, except for one track from 2016, "If I Fell." Also included is the only known studio recording of their concert classic “Kick Out the Jams” (MC5 cover). Some of the material is from sessions workshopping material for an album, some is from performance rehearsals.

George Geranios, the band's original audio engineer co-produced the original 1978-83 recordings along with BÖC. All were originally recorded on reel-to-reel analog tape. They were later transferred to digital audio, which is when modern AI and magical musical talents met and the collection of vintage multi-track recordings was de-mixed, re-mixed, and produced by Steve Schenck and Richie Castellano to become 'Ghost Stories.' The two explain the album's amazing process HERE:

Work in the studio for the album was completed by Richie Castellano along with remaining original members Eric Bloom and Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser, both Albert Bouchard and Rick Downey appear on drums with additional overdubs recorded by Joe Bouchard. All these original lineup members appearing on 'Ghost Stories,' create a musical journey that traverses decades.

To celebrate this exciting announcement, the band shares the single "So Supernatural" along with a new music video that has a super cool blend of classic rock and modern AI.

[paraphernaliawagon]

having a blue oyster cult moment. happy belated birthday to Donald Brian “Buck Dharma” Roeser

supposedly Micheal Moorcock once said boc were “nice jewish boys from upstate new york.” mr. moorcock is a fountainhead of incorrect information, so i went and checked and:

-the bouchard brothers are from upstate NY, others are all from NYC

-Eric Bloom is Jewish, information unavailable on other 4 guys

-niceness cannot be verified

"Burnin' for You" is a song by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult.  It was released as the lead single from the band's eighth studio album, Fire of Unknown Origin, in 1981. The song was co-written by guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser and rock critic songwriter Richard Meltzer, who wrote lyrics for several of the band's songs. Roeser sang lead vocals (as he also did on the band's biggest hit, 1976's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper") in lieu of Blue Öyster Cult's usual lead vocalist Eric Bloom.

Aided by the popularity of the music video (one of the early ones on the new MTV), the song hit #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, and the single spent three weeks in the Top 40 (peaking at #40) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
