The Who Reissue Reivew: Who's Next/Life House (Super Deluxe Edition)

(UMe)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

After listening to all almost 10 hours of the latest reissue from The Who, I've come away with two thoughts: I'm glad Pete Townshend's vision for Life House has been totally documented, and I'm thankful Who's Next ended up exactly the way it did. The London band's 1971 opus is, full stop, a perfect album, and remastered over 50 years later, it sounds as vital as ever. Hearing "Baba O'Riley" doesn't just excite people experiencing it for the first time but wows those listening for the thousandth, from the opening chords to Dave Arbus' violin at the end. "Bargain" is the band's most underrated song in their entire catalog, Keith Moon's drums acting as a lead instrument, with John Entwistle's bass and Townshend's guitars providing the backbone. Nicky Hopkins' piano graces the two dramatic treatises on the very act of songwriting itself, "The Song Is Over" and "Getting In Tune". "Won't Get Fooled Again" remains a wildly anarchic song from a band that only went so far as to lightly poke fun at consumerism but was otherwise apolitical. And as much as Roger Daltrey was at the height of his vocal powers, belting during "Baba O'Riley" and unleashing one of the most famous screams in rock and roll on the final track, the two songs without him--Entwistle's "My Wife" and Townshend's brilliant choogle "Going Mobile"--shine bright.

So when you hear the demos from the failed Life House rock opera that turned into Who's Next, as well as sessions containing fan favorite songs recorded around the same time, do you question what made the cut? Could Who's Next have been even better? The short answer, and the only answer, is no. But the extended material, in conjunction with live recordings of two concerts in 1971 before and after the record was released, paints a fascinating picture of a band trying to figure out what it's best at. They were the first to advertise a rock opera in 1969 with Tommy, and Townshend was eager to write another one in Life House, an astonishingly ambitious, multi-media project with a convoluted plot and a desired presentation that seems to foreshadow postmodernism, the Internet, and the metaverse all at once.

Appropriately, the Lifehouse Chronicles demos (referring to the box set Townshend released in 2000) indicate a band where he's at the forefront, Moon's drumming notably taking a back seat on a groovier "Bargain". "Teenage Wasteland" shares some lyrical elements with the eventual "Baba O'Riley" but is structured like a prog rock song, and the gist of the lyrics emphase the quintessential masculine impostor syndrome that pervaded the band's earlier songs. "Love Ain't For Keeping" is less of a country ballad and Daltrey showcase, more an opportunity for Townshend to sneer over psychedelic wah-wahs. A 13-minute instrumental version of "Baba O'Riley" starts out exactly the same as the eventual version until the drums swallow in on themselves, the song growing quieter, delving into experimental ambiance, and warping in and out as if it were an electronic remix of the original. What the Lifehouse Chronicles does make you appreciate, on the other hand, is the individual greatness of gorgeous songs that stand on their own merits but wouldn't have sounded sonically cohesive within the Who's Next framework: the strummed "Greyhound Girl", barroom piano jaunt "Nothing Is Everything (Let's See Action)", and the layered "Pure and Easy". Plus, hearing a rawer, more fried version of "Going Mobile" is the closest you'll ever come to witnessing a live recording of the Who's Next standout the band never played in concert.

The two sessions included in the reissue pinpoint where Life House turned into Who's Next. The first contain recordings at New York's Record Plant with band manager Kit Lambert (that Leslie West of Mountain famously played on). Sonically, they're a bit muddier than the Olympic Studios sessions or what ended up on Who's Next. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is plodding, as is "The Note", an early version of "Pure and Easy". When Lambert and Townshend had a falling out about what, exactly, Life House was (Townshend had rejected Lambert's Tommy film script and told Universal Pictures that Life House was a new version of Tommy), the band went to Glyn Johns to produce, who suggested The Who make a single album instead of a rock opera. It's here that we hear versions of songs like "Love Ain't For Keeping" and "Bargain" that sound familiar, as well as stellar versions of tracks recorded for Life House that didn't make Who's Next. "I Don't Even Know Myself" sports clacking percussion from Moon, "Relay" chugs along wonderfully, and "Put the Money Down" juxtaposes Daltrey's huge vocals and Townshend's guitars, the closest the band ever got to Southern rock.

The sixth disc, containing alternate mixes and sessions from Townshend's home studio in Twickenham, is by no means essential, but it reminds you just how good The Who sounded as a result of participating in so many sessions, fine-tuned while at their creative peak. Versions of "The Seeker" highlight Townshend's fast-picked guitar and Moon's drumming, Daltrey's full-throated wails exemplifying what made this era of the band so thrilling. In a call to Live at Leeds, one of the best live albums ever, and one that the band simply released as a way to tide over hungry fans post-Tommy, The Who here include a stereo remix of Leeds favorite "Heaven and Hell". "Water"'s piano trills and call-and-response vocals preview the storming grandiosity of Quadrophenia, while the undeniably silly "Waspman", with its harmonica and vocal zipping, recall earlier, more absurd albums like The Who Sell Out.

The band's concert at the Young Vic Theatre in London, impromptu during album recording, and the site where the band planned to record sonic and visual footage as part of the Life House experience, proved to be the rock opera's death knell. Perhaps that was because fans were quick to shout requests for "My Generation" and "Summertime Blues", disappointed when Townshend announced "Water" instead. I like to think it's because the Who's Next songs sounded good on their own: "Love Ain't For Keeping", the upcoming single "Behind Blue Eyes", and a guitar solo-laden "Getting In Tune". By the time they played later that year at The Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Who's Next was already out, and it's this concert, presented in full for the first time ever, that documents a band realizing where their newer, more ambitious material fit in with their classics. While they still opened with "Can't Explain" and "Substitute", by the time they performed the synth intro of "Baba O'Riley", fans started to cheer for the new material, too. Naturally, the biggest reaction erupted for a 17-minute version of "Magic Bus", Tommy material like "Pinball Wizard", and a blistering "My Generation". In due time, though, the band would be playing to true arenas, on the strength of, not in spite of, Who's Next. What this box set shows is a potential alternate timeline: If Townshend's vision had panned out, who's to say we'd still be talking about The Who in 2023?

Happy Birthday!

To me :^)

Well, technically tomorrow 2 June, but I somehow finished this today.

I thought I'd have finished the Krang infection comic by now so I could have a happy birthday ending, but we're not there yet.

I uh never draw backgrounds or like to colour, but I love fully coloured pieces and well here we are. Trying my best to create something out of my comfort zone.

As a bday gift to myself I'm going to watch the new spiderverse tomorrow evening!

[botanyshitposts]

ok this sounds insane but in 2018 i went to a few carnivorous plant talks at the botany conference in minnesota. i got caught up in conversation with one of the guys there who was a huge nepenthes guy who told me a story about another collector in the pacific northwest who'd been buying poached plants, like a huge amount, and eventually got staked out by the fish and wildlife service and arrested and had all his plants seized and went to prison for it. idk if i ever talked about this on this blog before-- i know i liveblogged a lot from that conference but cant remember what all i posted-- but ive avoided talking about it since then because i was never able to find like, news articles or anything covering it, but behold.... we now have proof it was real, and im like 80% sure this was this guy he was talking about. the raid happened in 2016 and they'd been staking them out since 2013. he had nearly 400 plants and had been sourcing many of them from poachers in indonesia and borneo.

remember folks: poaching happens with plants too! it's a huge problem not only in carnvirous plants (nepenthes especially, which this piece is dedicated to talking about) but also in native plant populations in the US, including native carnivorous plant populations (north and south carolina's venus fly traps, california's darlingtonia, and sarracenia from the east coast), native orchids (historically one of the most poached categories), desert plants/cacti/succulents, and slow-growing woody ornamentals (cycads, for example). never buy bare-root plants off ebay or facebook! your best bet is local nurseries (which usually purchase farm-raised plants that do well in a wide range of conditions, and as a result have a healthy population in the wild) or specialty greenhouses (more expensive, but at least in the case of carnivorous plants offer young plants bred from established adult plants in-house, raised in captivity).

#super sad piece fellas like this shit guts me i cant even stress it enough #stories about nepenthes poaching hit different #there are hundreds of species #some are really common and widespread all over indonesia/china/japan/oceania #and some are like. super hyperadapted to one specific ridge on one specific mountain #theyre still being recorded and stuff because theyve speciated so much #so youll have a plant that has like. a max of 15 adults in the population at any given time. literally a nightmare scenario #AND theyre diaceous (there are male plants and female plants). doesnt seem like a problem until you think about the population dynamics #there not only has to be two plants but the plants have to be a male and a female #and people living there have reason to take them. like the poacher interviewed in this article does it to supplement his income #from working at a horrifying rubber production ordeal to feed his wife and kids #and he says everyone in his village does the same for the same reasons #nightmare!! nightmare!! nightmare horrible nightmare world!!! horrible fucking nightmare!!!! #nepenethes #carnivorous plants #poaching #conservation

DPxDC requested prompt (#7)

(@bearerofendlesspain You know... Only after writing this whole thing do I realize that I had read this prompt wrong... WHOOPS! I read it as "Poison Ivy and Tucker are eating blood blossoms to extinction." and not as what was likely intended which seems to have been more along the lines of... "Batman rogue: Poison Ivy. Conflict: Tucker is eating blood blossoms to extinction." ... Which in this particular context are way, WAAAAAY different ideas! I could have saved myself a lot of distress if I had read it correctly... >.> But ah well! Whoops! Hope you enjoy this anyway! Thinking about a plant going extinct like this was quite distressing for me to write! :D)

"Hey. Thanks for helping me out with this, Tuck. And you know... For keeping all of this a secret from Sam." Danny smiled in appreciation to Tucker as they began to break ground with their shovels. "She would probably HATE what we're doing right now!"

"Yeah, of course, dude! It's no problem at all. The more we get rid of these blood blossoms here in Amity Park, the better it is for you and all of the ghosts in the area! Besides, I never want to even think about having to eat another one of these things ever again!" Tucker shivered at the memory of having to eat blood blossoms to save Danny and Sam's lives.

With that, the two got to work killing the bush of blood blossoms. They were digging to expose the roots so they could tear the plant from the ground whole. That made things easier when they would shove the entirety of the plant into a plastic garbage bag along with the other blood blossom bushes they had already uprooted. Once they were done with this area, they would take all of the bushes they had uprooted over the course of the day and bring them to an incinerator where they would destroy the plant- burning the flowers, stems, roots, and seeds all in one fell swoop. They had to make certain to destroy the whole plant, including the roots and seeds, just to make sure that there was no chance of the bush growing back from just its roots or more bushes getting planted in their place. They had been making good progress in wiping out the blood blossoms in this area. They just had a few more to uproot here and they could move on to the next area! They had been at this for months and were getting pretty close to their goal of exterminating blood blossoms in the whole of Amity Park!

But just as they were pulling this bush from the ground, a beautiful red-haired woman started charging towards them. "What do you think you're doing!???" she roared. The woman was clearly frantic.

Danny and Tucker glanced to one another. "Removing a bush...?" Danny answered, not certain what was going on.

"'Removing a bush' ... Alright, kids, stop what you're going and step away from that 'bush' right now!" She demanded. And while Danny complied, letting go of the plant and backing away, Tucker didn't and instead began to haul the shrub from the ground.

"Come on, lady. We're just removing some weeds. This isn't anything to freak out over." Tucker turned to roll his eyes at the woman where Danny could see but she couldn't.

"A 'weed'? A 'WEED'!!? You really don't have any idea what you're doing do you!? Do you even know what these 'weeds' are!?" The woman was obviously distressed, and growing more agitated by the moment.

Tucker let out a flippant breath. "They're blood blossoms, duh."

"Yes. And this specific species of blood blossoms are native and endemic to the Amity Park area!"

"Okay...? So what?" Tucker wasn't entirely certain what she was talking about.

"And they're an endangered species!"

"Oh... I- I didn't know!" Danny swore, suddenly feeling bad about what he and Tucker had been doing.

"So?" Meanwhile, Tucker had the opposite reaction. "What are you, a botanist or something? Who cares if these blood blossoms go extinct?"

"Yes. I am a botanist..." Danny was watching as the horror on the woman's face was slowly turning into fury.

"Tucker...? I think that you should just leave the plant alone..." Danny cautiously advised.

"What!? After all the work we've put into killing off all of these stupid flowers? Now you're starting to sound like Sam! We've been at this months! No way I'm stopping now!"

"MONTHS!???" That was the absolute last straw. These children have been exterminating these poor, defenseless, endangered plants for months!? Dr. Pamela Isley- more famously known as Poison Ivy- had heard enough. These boys were going to pay. "You might not care about these flowers dying, but I do! The land- The Green does! You need biodiversity in order to have a healthy ecosystem, and these flowers play an important role in that! You can't just go around, carelessly digging up and killing innocent, endangered plants without there being... Consequences."

#dpxdc #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #dpxdc prompts #dc x dp #tucker foley #danny fenton #poison ivy #pamela isley #For the record if Tucker was eating them it would only be out of obligation because Danny asked him to. #I purposefully didn't mention whether Ivy's skin is green here or not. If she has the green skin and the plant controlling powers #just pretend that she's wearing makeup to make her skin look normal because she knew that she was going outside of Gotham. #People in Gotham usually don't question it but people outside of it certainly do! #Also Ivy is DEFINITELY going to kill them. Maybe not right now but rest assured she will poison Tucker eventually. #Also I am SO sorry for making Tucker into such a villain in these! It's not intentional I swear! #I like Tucker just fine! PLEASE give me a request where he can be the voice of reason! #Good luck to the kids tho lol

man i'm on a roll tonight

DP x DC idea:

Bruce Wayne has somehow managed to become the unofficial guardian of at least two more kids. Maybe three. He's not sure yet. Various members of the Batfamily have made new friends recently and have been having them hang out at Wayne manor for extensive periods of time. Now only if he could actually meet the rascals face-to-face, maybe he could adopt them for real.

or

Danny, Elle, and Jazz have all made friends with different Wayne kids at different times from different places. Damian met Elle at school, Danny met Tim while working at a coffee shop, and Jazz met Cass outside the local theater. All three visit the manor separately, and no one communicates that they've befriended people from the same family. Eventually, however, their hangout sessions accidentally overlap and the Waynes have to deal with the excitement of three Fentons under a single roof.

Let's just say there's a reason the three of them live separately.

#pondhead blurbs #danny phantom #the three aren't mad at each other or anything #it's just no house other than their parent's can withstand more than one Fenton at a time #So Elle is enrolled in school and stays with sam above this nice flower shop that has carnivorous plants #danny is working towards his GED and working at a coffee shop on the side and lives with tucker #jazz got emancipated and had technus fuck with her records so she could get her own apartment near the iceberg lounge #which she works at part time as a performer maybe #why is everyone in gotham? idk #either all five of them got sucked into a portal to another dimension #or you can go the angst route and have a bad reveal au #so everyone just picks up their lives and moves with danny #throw in dan who maybe travels for work #or he's wormed his way into vlad's life and becomes heir to vladco instead of danny in an attempt of weird revenge #but everyone is like 'this is for the better' and now dan is stuck in corporate meetings all because he wanted to steal what was danny's #dpxdc
