That's right, it is early for you out there. We've just had our NY luck lunch centered around black-eyed peas, and finishing with a glass of champagne from the bottle barely partaken from at midnight last night.

  12:42pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

My wife's half Finnish, did some studying of Finnish folklore and poetry. We found an audio presentation of the epic Finn poem The Kavela (sic?) and it sounds really peculiar, like Hugo Ball interpreted by a chorus of walruses (hope that doesn't offend any Finnish folks - it's in an old tongue.)
  12:42pm
HoNeY Water:

Where's "up here" Rich? Aren't you in Portland?
  12:43pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

@HoNeY Water: Yes, sort of. I am in the hills of SW Washington, just across the river from Portland.
  12:44pm
Philo Gristle:

@Rich Kalevala, yup. And that walruses (walrusi) sounds good to me! Honey always says it reads like monotone Hawaiian.
  12:47pm
HoNeY Water:

@glenn: From all the cultural signals and signs, I think Finland is preparing to rule the world. :)

@Rich: Every year my Finn-laws send me a lovely piece of Kalevala jewelry. The epic IS rather weird folklore what little I know. I recommend a really good Russian film about Sammi culture (Lapland) called "The Cuckoo."

  12:53pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

There's a large community of Finns here in SW Washington, most of them Apostolic Lutheran, so they tend to ignore the ways of the old country.
They are somewhat like Mennonites or Amish in that they aren't supposed to have TV, radio, internet, etc.. Women aren't supposed to cut their hair and they wear long dresses.

welcome and happy new year to all those in for the 1 o'clock hour!
  12:58pm
Philo Gristle:

@Rich Really? Interesting. Always on the lookout for ways to get out of midwest and NW is one of the main prospects.... but methinks that community might not be the way to go. Finns in the 'old country' tend to be pretty secular.

@Tony Yup. Found that to be an odd name for an Italian label!

@ Philo: Aha! Now I get you. The label logo is an image of Frankenstein, which also seems kind of Cramps like.

The track on now is Turkish, in case anyone was wondering. Isn't Turkish related to Finnish?
  1:03pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

@ Philo: Yes, supposedly the Finns that migrated to the US, I think in the 40s/50s did so because their country had become 'ungodly'. There's also a large Finnish Apostolic Lutheran community in the midwest, I think in Wisconsin, etc..
Sometimes families would send wayward boys from the Mid-West to go live with distant relatives in the Northwest, as it was farther from big city and all its 'worldly' troubles.
  1:03pm
Philo Gristle:

@Tony Not to my knowledge; Hungarian, yes, though I think only structurally as it sounds very foreign to my ears.
  1:04pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

I love Cem!

Rich Corinthian Leather:

I recently bought the Turkish entry in that Peace Love and Poetry series of records. It's great.
  1:06pm
Philo Gristle:

@Rich Of course it's funny to think that they came to America to escape the ungodly, as in some ways and looking from distant lands, seems to be the hq of the ungodly!
  1:08pm
HoNeY Water:

Aw, cop out! :)
  1:09pm
Philo Gristle:

@Tony Got the band name and the first word down just right! The album's odd title translates to The Death of the Magnetman.

My brief trip to Helsinki gave me the *tiniest* bit more understanding of Finnish pronunciation.
  1:13pm
HoNeY Water:

While I realize my eyes and ears have been more finely tuned into all media references to Finland since 1997, I still feel there's a global predominance in Finn references (even on Jeopardy ;), especially when you consider a population about the same as our US state of Indiana. And Helsinki's a pop. equivalent to Indianapolis.

@Ike Considering all the odd connections (art, language, myths, culture) over and across all continents, probably true! Everything stemming from some ancient ur-language they snatched from the unconscious pool of knowledge.

He's kind of all over the place in the manner of Craig Leon.
I love his comp Miniatures. It's probably one of my most precious records.

I love that Hybrid Kids, esp. "Combo Satori" doing Sun Ra's Enlightenment in a Residentsy style.

I forget if the current day Mongols also have the occipital bun like many Finns do (myself included).

Rich Corinthian Leather:

i think that Morgan became a Sanyasin, a follower of Osho, who was once known as Bagwan Shri Rashneesh. They had a commune/compound not too far from Portland OR, would come to town to bring homeless people to the commune, wear red, etc...

Really enjoy all the Italian cuts today, Tony. Being a fan of Italian cinema in all its forms I've relegated my appreciation to mostly soundtrack work.
  1:32pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

Not sure, but it's possible that Morgan might've lived there. Seems like I read something about it. My cousin was also a 'Rajneesh'. He had some pretty interesting stories about it. The commune imploded, not without much legal and political intrigue. People who lived here at the time know all about it.

I think Osho is also a song by Future Sound of London/Amorphous Androgynous.
Osho still has a lot of followers, despite the controversy of Rajneesh Purim and the fact that he's dead.
  1:37pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

I found a Bagwan Shri Rajneesh album at Mississippi Records that was minted about the time that the cult was happening in OR and I totally failed to buy it. I think it's worth a lot now.

tonyc:

And what a name...
  1:58pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

Tonyc: Not sure! I should know, it being morbid and all, but I can't think of who that could be. The Rajneeshes were implicated in a plot to poison the population of Antelope OR, in order to affect the outcome of a local election. It is considered the first act of domestic terrorism or something like that.
  2:00pm
Philo Gristle:

I used to dislike Finnish music (easy to do in Finland) until I heard the oddball combo of "Dance of the Anthropoids/Frederick & Bill" from Tombstone Valentine on radio while I was in the army... it's still the least-liked early album by the band, but it remains my personal favorite.
  2:00pm
Sir Lancelot Pratt:

their track Atmospheres is one of my favourite psychedelic classics on the Rubble comps!

Wimple Winch is truly one of the best names, much better than their first name, Just Four Men.

@ Philo: "Tombstone Valentine" is my fave Wigwam as well!

Wimple Winch - that other 60s band from Liverpool!

Sir Lancelot Pratt:

LA 1919 - got to be Robert Wyatt on vocals?
  2:04pm
Philo Gristle:

@Tony Glad to hear it. It always gets disparaging comments from Wiggy fans due to the loud guitar in the mix... but that was what dragged me over the fence. Much more dynamic than some of the later efforts...

@ Sir Lancelot: It does sound like Wyatt! (Don't think it is, though.)

not sure whether Dune or Inland Empire is David Lynch's worst film?
  2:16pm

Being a fan, I'm ashamed to say I've not seen "Inland Empire." I do like Dune, though, but Eraserhead and Straight Story remain my favorites.

Keep trying to listen via iPhone, but the mountains of western Maryland keep getting in the darn way.

Saw a midnight screening of Inland Empire when it came out, it was torturous but artful so and made a big impression on me ultimately. Kind of like a point of view impression of insanity.

Inland Empire is definitely Lynch's worst IMHO. The digital filming is very ugly. At least Dune has gorgeous, haunting visuals.

I'm not sure there was any sense to it. Odd vocalizations, occasionally recognizable words. He usually has either a phrase or two that he follows to extremes. The title of it was "thought." The album is called "I feel pity for Bilharzialoista" (who or whatever that is -- not Finnish).

Philo Gristle:

A lot of the freak folk scene as well as (one man) bands like Keuhkot (lungs) avoid being intelligible to Finns, too. Which is fine, since the soundscape is often accessible.

RE "Dune": Lynch disowned it, didn't he? On the grounds that there was a lot of outside interference?
  2:43pm
Philo Gristle:

@Tony yes. THough a few years back it seemed for a moment like he was going to be allowed to remix the film from all the footage shot. For whatever reason it didn't happen.

Rich Corinthian Leather:

@tonyc: he disowned the lengthened, TV version of Dune but not the theatrical version.
The TV version has stupid narration in it.
  2:45pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

Maybe I'm wrong, though. I do know the TV version is credited to Alan Smithee.
  2:47pm
Philo Gristle:

@Rich I think you're right, at least technically. He wasn't happy with the theatrical cut, but didn't exactly disown it. He doesn't speak of the film in interviews.

Philo Gristle:

I wish Jodorowsky had made the film with Giger and Moebius. That would have been something to see....
  2:52pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

I like how the aborted Jodorowsky film begat Alien.

Yes Philo - Ridley Scott would have made a great job of it - sort of mix between Blade Runner and Alien.
Just like the studio destroyed Michael Mann's The Keep and John Boorman's 3 hour epic Excorcist 2, so they destroyed Dune!

listener james from westwood:

the mega-tv version sounds like it was narrated by someone roused with great difficulty from sleep. there's like three straight minutes of background info delivered over what look like scenes and characters from dune rendered by a police sketch artist.
when i saw the film in theaters, they were handing out glossary sheets for the terminology.

Tony, I think you do a most admirable job at pronouncing all the many languages you encounter.

Arrivederci, all!

dug the show, tony! may you keep the spice flowing through 2013 and beyond.

jeremy:

Zapp! Into the future! A wonderful first show of 2013, Tony!
  2:57pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

Thanks again for a wonderful show, Tony! I always enjoying hearing totally new-to-my-ears music from you every week.
Happy 2013 everybody!

HoNeY Water:

Spice? Just don't eat the worm!

Philo Gristle:

Back when Ridley still made good movies! Though I think he never surpassed Duellists. But I would have preferred Jodo to actually direct it, too. He was at the top of his game then, and turned his concept into Incal with Moebius, which remains one of the great graphic novels.

Anyways, great show, Tony, glad to be able to listen live for once.

Philo/Rich,
ever seen Boorman's Zardoz or Zulawski's Na srebrnym globie (which is now on You Tube), both sort of Dune influenced!

Thanks HoNey Water, James, & Jeremy! And thanks, everybody, for listening! See you all next week. Sayonara!

Thanks, Rich!

Zardoz, yes, when it originally came out. Connery in little clothing -- loved it!
  2:59pm
Philo Gristle:

I saw Silver Globe on tv while in FInland, no subtitles and in Polish, and it was STILL mesmerizing. I started taping it halfway through, never seen it all the way.

Toodleloo for realz! Thanks for showing up....
  3:01pm
Rich Corinthian Leather:

yes, I only just relatively recently saw Zardoz. It's great! I loved 70s sci-fi. I haven't seen the Zulawski film, though

Wrote about Incal here at some length: http://bit.ly/r4z5CB

Thanks Tony and everyone!

Zulawski's Possession is one of my all time faves

thanks Tony for a great non-corporate rock show.
No U2, Madonna, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, etc.
