The Las Vegas Story 

Fire Records 

1984 

"The Las Vegas Story is the third studio album by American rock band the Gun Club, released in 1984. This album saw the return of founding member and lead guitarist Kid Congo Powers, after a three-year stint with the Cramps. The album was dedicated to Debbie Harry "for her love, help and encouragement."" For this album: "The Gun Club Jeffrey Lee Pierce – vocals, guitars, bells, musical tube, montage and piano on "The Master Plan" //// Kid Congo Powers – excessive feedback, guitar and slide guitar, whirling whirlies, maracas and ancient mutterings //// Patricia Morrison – bass, backing vocals, maracas and Bacardi //// Terry Graham – drums"

The Ronettes  Chapel of Love   Favoriting Presenting the Fabulous Ronettes  Sony  1964  "Chapel of Love" is a song written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector, and made famous by The Dixie Cups in 1964, spending three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written in 1963 by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, who had themselves recently married; Barry later said that "the concept of marriage was very much in my head" at the time. It was written for Darlene Love to record, but producer Phil Spector was dissatisfied with her version and it was not released for some years....1991 to be exact!    0:06:54 (Pop-up)
Wire  Feeling Called Love   Favoriting Pink Flag  Harvest  1977  Reviewing in 1978 for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau called Pink Flag a "punk suite", praised its "simultaneous rawness and detachment" and detected a rock-and-roll irony similar to, but "much grimmer and more frightening" than, the Ramones...Ira Robbins said that "Wire [push] minimalism to new heights" and that the band "dredges up images of...beat poetry--short fragments of impressions set to music." He further said that the 21 tracks are "not songs...There's no easy structure or meter. Each explores or describes or electrifies or challenges. There's no easy listening." Steve Huey of AllMusic opined that Pink Flag was "perhaps the most original debut album to come out of the first wave of British punk" and also "recognizable, yet simultaneously quite unlike anything that preceded it. Pink Flag's enduring influence pops up in hardcore, post-punk, alternative rock, and even Britpop, and it still remains a fresh, invigorating listen today: a fascinating, highly inventive rethinking of punk rock and its freedom to make up your own rules."    0:07:52 (Pop-up)
The Bug Club  Marriage   Favoriting Rare Birds: Hour of Song  We Are Busy Bodies  2023  The Bug Club are Wales’ weirdest, most prolific new band...“I always feel like a dickhead when I say this, but I usually make a nice hot cup of tea and then try to smash [a song] in one go,” Sam Willmett continues, before his co-writer, bassist and vocalist Tilly Harris, cuts in witheringly: “The arrogance, the arrogance.” They collapse into laughter before Willmett recovers to say: “It’s not even really on purpose.” The beauty of it, of course, is that The Bug Club’s music retains this low-stakes energy: their songs have wonderful immediacy to them and their melodies whirr with the sort of tossed-off brilliance you can’t fake. There is nothing big time, no hint of a flex, about their work rate. It’s just people making stuff up because they enjoy making stuff up.    0:09:10 (Pop-up)
The Fall  Funnel of Love   Favoriting Your Future, Our Clutter  Domino  2010  "Funnel of Love" is a song by Wanda Jackson written by Charlie McCoy (credited as "Charles McCoy") and Kent Westbury. Recorded in 1960 and released in 1961, "Funnel of Love" was released as the B-side to Jackson's major country-pop single, "Right or Wrong". Although the song never became a hit independently from the A-side, it has received notable critical acclaim and attention. The song's unique combination of country, rock, and blues have made it a favorite of fans and critics. Many also consider "Funnel of Love" to be one of Jackson's best vocal performances....and possibly also Mark E Smith's????    0:12:51 (Pop-up)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs  Man   Favoriting Fever to Tell  Polydor  2003  Fever to Tell is the debut studio album by American indie rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, released on April 29, 2003, by Interscope Records. It was produced by David Andrew Sitek and mixed by Alan Moulder. Four singles were issued, the first being "Date with the Night" followed by "Pin", "Maps" and "Y Control". Pitchfork famously gave them a backhandedly savage yet positive review...but hey, some people just can't deal with powerful women.    0:15:43 (Pop-up)
David Bowie  Be My Wife   Favoriting Low  RCA Victor  1977  Low is the eleventh from 26 studio albums (1967-2016) by the British rock musician David Bowie, September–October 1976 and released January 1977 on the RCA Records label. The sound and production of this album were significantly influenced by Krautrock, the group Kraftwerk and especially Brian Eno, with whom Bowie also recorded the two follow-up albums "Heroes" and Lodger, which form his so-called "Berlin Trilogy" with Low from 1977 to 1979. "Be My Wife" became the first new Bowie release since "Changes" to fail to break into the UK chart. The song reached number 57, at that time the official list only compiled the top 50 positions, but it appeared on Breakers for 2 weeks. It was frequently played live on the various tours after its release and Bowie is said to have repeatedly announced this song during live performances as "one of my favourites," as may be seen or heard in such concert footage or audio recordings.    0:17:29 (Pop-up)

B-52's  Queen Of Las Vegas   Favoriting Whammy!  Warner  1983  Same song, 2 versions... This is the official album version, which, to my mind, sounds inferior: less finished, less realised than the original David Byrne-produced outtake from 1981's Mesopotamia sessions. "In December 1982, the band began recording their third album, Whammy!. According to Pierson, Strickland no longer wanted to play the drums, so the band switched to drum machines for this album, with Strickland and Ricky Wilson playing all the music on the album, and the rest of the band providing vocals only. Having originally played guitars, organ, bass guitar and synthesizers, Pierson switched to a mainly vocal role in the studio, but remained behind the keyboards on tour. The band also began experimenting heavily with synthesizers during this period" //// "Unlike their previous studio albums, all instruments on Whammy! were played exclusively by Keith Strickland and Ricky Wilson. Both played the guitar and keyboards, while Strickland played the drums and Wilson played the bass. Remarking on the band's new focus on electronic instrumentation, singer/instrumentalist Kate Pierson later called the recording "a transitional album." Additionally, Pierson stated that drummer Strickland "didn't want to play drums anymore, so Whammy! featured drum machines and some synthesizers. It was kind of a big change in sound, which I wasn't really for very much. I didn't really like the drum machine. It was a different sound, but Whammy! was very much based around that". However, she added that, during the subsequent concert tour, the band would alternate between using drum machines and live drums played by Strickland. /////// Producer Steven Stanley supported Wilson and Strickland's initial concept of mixing the album into one continuous track, in a manner similar to the band's remix album, Party Mix! (1981). However, both Kurfirst and Warner Brothers vetoed this decision in favor of a more traditional method of track sequencing. //////// The album was released on April 27, 1983. On initial pressings of the LP, the seventh track was "Don't Worry", a cover version of the Yoko Ono song "Don't Worry, Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking for Her Hand in the Snow)". However, the song was removed on later pressings due to legal issues and replaced with "Moon 83".The song is a remake of their earlier track "There's a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)" from the band's 1979 eponymous debut studio album, released as the B-side of the "Legal Tender" single."    0:28:34 (Pop-up)
B-52's  Queen Of Las Vegas (Mesopotamia Outtake Version)   Favoriting Nude On The Moon: The B-52s Anthology  Warner  1981 / 2002  Same song, 2 versions... "Mesopotamia is an EP by American new wave band the B-52's, released in 1982. It was produced by David Byrne of Talking Heads and was originally planned to be the band's third studio album. Due to conflicts with Byrne and record label pressure, recording sessions were aborted prematurely and only six of ten songs to be completed were released. The record was distributed as a 12-inch EP by Warner Bros. in the U.S. and by Island Records on vinyl and cassette in the UK and other non-U.S. markets. //// Mesopotamia is considered a departure in style for the B-52's, with Byrne and the band adding additional instruments, vocal overdubs, horns, synthesizers and layered percussion. A larger emphasis was placed on production after the raw sound of their 1979 eponymous debut album and the slightly more produced sound of their second album, Wild Planet (1980). /// The B-52's' first two albums were largely made up of songs they had been performing live for a number of years, but Mesopotamia required new compositions. Drummer Keith Strickland later stated that living together in a house in upstate New York did not aid the writing process at this time: "The honeymoon was over. The fascination with being in a band, being successful – we'd already done it by that time. And at a level far beyond what we expected. We'd bought a house in Mahopac and were all living there together – and that created a strain on us, all living in one house together." //// Additionally, guitarist Ricky Wilson stated in 1980 that the band felt constrained by outside expectations at this point in their career. Wilson observed that the band's manager, Gary Kurfirst, "was talking about our next album, and I mentioned that it might not be a dance record, and he was so shocked by that idea. It's shocking to me that people really do expect that of us now." Strickland later recalled that it was Kurfirst who was adamant that the band should change their sound, and that the decision was not arrived at "organically" by the band. //// Kurfirst suggested that David Byrne of Talking Heads would be a good choice for the album's producer, due to his previous musical experience and history of touring with the B-52's. Despite time constraints with recording the soundtrack to The Catherine Wheel (1981), Byrne nevertheless agreed to produce Mesopotamia, producing the former during the day and the latter at night, with little sleep in between. //// Mesopotamia was a departure in style for the B-52's. For the EP, Byrne incorporated several elements from his work with Talking Heads, including horn sections, synthesizers and worldbeat influences. Mesopotamia was also unique for the band because many of the tracks did not feature the vocal interplay for which they were known. //// Originally, Mesopotamia was conceived as a full album. Singer/instrumentalist Kate Pierson later stated that, while the band desired to write more songs for the project, manager Kurfirst demanded the band quickly put out more material and then suggested releasing a shorter EP as a compromise. Pierson stated that "'Cake' wasn't finished. 'Deep Sleep,' I just kind of stuck that lyric on in the studio in one take. It was just not finished. We sometimes think, 'Wow, if only we could go back and finish Mesopotamia'." When the sessions initially broke down, Kurfirst arranged the release of a remix EP of old material, Party Mix!, while the band continued to work on the new sessions. //// Pierson further stated that Island Records' Chris Blackwell did not want "Mesopotamia" included on the EP, despite the fact that it was the titular track and a completed piece: "I still think it's one of our best songs. And despite what Chris said, we never hesitated about putting it on there. We never thought, 'We're not putting this out.' We were always, like, 'Oh, yeah, we're putting 'Mesopotamia' on Mesopotamia." //// Several tracks from the sessions were abandoned, and three were re-recorded for the following album, Whammy! (1983). "Queen of Las Vegas", recorded for the intended full-length Mesopotamia album, was later released on the 2002 compilation album Nude on the Moon: The B-52's Anthology and features vocal performances from Pierson and Wilson, with Yogi Horton on drums. The song was modified and re-recorded in 1983 for the Whammy! album. The outtakes "Big Bird" and "Butterbean" were also re-recorded for Whammy!, while another, "Adios Desconocida", remains unreleased.""    0:34:25 (Pop-up)
David Byrne  His Wife Refused   Favoriting The Catherine Wheel - The Complete Score  Sire  1981  As mentioned in the notes on the prior track, this soundtrack was recorded concurrently with the B-52's sessions that Byrne produced. More overlap here, in that Yogi Horton provides drums on both this song and the B-52's outtake we had just listened to. As for this song... On the original vinyl, this is the opening track. Later digitizations shuffle & re-order... extending this length a few seconds, opting to nix the fade, in favour of a hard edit into an ambient interlude. Therefore, we go to the vinyl version for this one... "LYRICS His Wife Refused A great big house- with nothing in it He comes home says now wait a minute He's comin' in she's goin' out He turns around says, what's that about? Do what they like, the kid's in school Think she don't know, now, who's kidding who? He turns around says who wants to know? Open the door and there's nobody home! Go ahead, fill their heads Go ahead, fill their heads with poison Take a look, these people are savages! Take a look, at their misfortune I'm goin' up I got a message I'm gonna wait till I close the door I'm gonna wrap, myself in blankets I'm gonna, roll out, across the floor Well the bride bride and the groom Run in a circle around their house They're goin' out they're comin' in Inside a circle around their house These shoes don't fit- this tie don't match I'm gonna throw it away when I get home. I'm turned around I'm doin' my best I'm gonna wait until the light comes on. Yes he's the king and she's the queen Run in a circle around their house.

Pixies  The Vegas Suite   Favoriting The Night The Zombies Came  Pixies Recording Inc / BMG  2024  Rel. Oct 25, 2024. -- From Pop Matters... "Pixies’ New LP Is a Fine Addition to Their Second Act //// Pixies’ latest LP, featuring new bass player Emma Richardson, is another solid but not earth-shattering effort. It’s clever, if not cute, with a charming theme. By Patrick Gill / 28 October 2024 //// It’s hard to believe that with The Night the Zombies Came, Pixies have now released more albums without Kim Deal than with her legendary contributions. That is assuming we are not counting the debut mini-album Come on Pilgrim (1987)... For those keeping score, the first iteration of the band with Deal contains Surfer Rosa (1988) through Trompe le Monde (1991). If Pixies’ bassists could be likened to James Bond actors, they have been made to wrestle with Deal’s Sean Connery-sized legacy. Simon “Ding” Archer—the George Lazenby in this scenario—played bass on the EPs that became Indie Candy (2014). Ding was followed by the more permanent Paz Lenchantin (formerly of A Perfect Circle and Zwan), who was with the group for the next decade until her surprise departure earlier this year. Emma Richardson (formerly of Band of Skulls) received an out-of-the-blue call to join Pixies, and she abruptly tossed aside her paintbrushes to play on the new record. Richardson proves up to the task, slotting in effectively and offering key contributions when asked. //////// The critical question still remains: how do you move beyond the first run of Pixies’ albums? The answer is you don’t. Certain acts, like the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, and Pavement, arguably took the right approach to just let things lie with their legacy intact. Other bands, like the Clash and the Replacements, had less than stellar swan songs, but the intention was there. With this recent run, Pixies are attempting to do something very few have (at least with the same lead singer and primary songwriter), which is to have a true second act. //////// ixies have released some bangers since their reformation in 2014, but they haven’t flown the flag proudly, perhaps due to each release’s lukewarm, if not poor, reception (consider certain outlets’ evisceration of those first EPs). At their live shows, Pixies have been intent on playing the hits and some covers while stashing much of the output from this past decade; however, they have recently begun playing songs from the new record that might signal a fresh approach. The Night the Zombies Came holds form with the band’s newer records in that nothing is earth-shattering here. With that said, there is a lot to like and very little to gripe about, which makes it another solid Pixies release. //////// On this outing, listeners can expect to hear most of Pixies’ signature sounds, from the punk and surf rock styles to their guttural and ethereal deliveries... For a record that sprinkles in horror themes throughout, many of the songs favor the majestic over the frightening, as is the case of the orchestral title track “Jane (The Night the Zombies Came)”. ... Overall, The Night the Zombies Came is clever, if not cute, with a charming theme that works more often than not... Moreover, Pixies still possess a mystique that cannot be replicated... “The Vegas Suite”, in particular, showcases Pixies’ dexterity. The song is comprised of a few key parts, including the main bit that channels Chuck Prophet‘s slacker charm. Notably, it contains a standalone guitar excursion and haunting outro, which—much to the satisfaction of Pixies’ purists—hearkens back to an earlier time.."  *   0:43:19 (Pop-up)

Selected Works 1961​-​1969 

New World Records / Anthology of Recorded Music, Inc. 

1961 / 1991 

"1961: For "Collage #1 ("Blue Suede"), James Tenney sampled the voice of Elvis Presley singing "Blue Suede Shoes," edited the tape, then composed the fragments with an IBM punch-card system." //// "James Tenney (August 10, 1934 – August 24, 2006) was an American composer and music theorist. He made significant early musical contributions to plunderphonics, sound synthesis, algorithmic composition, process music, spectral music, microtonal music, and tuning systems including extended just intonation. His theoretical writings variously concern musical form, texture, timbre, consonance and dissonance, and harmonic perception. //// Tenney's earliest works show the influence of Webern, Ruggles and Varèse, while a gradual assimilation of the ideas of John Cage influenced the development of his music in the 1960s. In 1961 he composed the early plunderphonic composition Collage No.1 (Blue Suede) (for tape) by sampling and manipulating a recording of Elvis Presley. His music from 1961 to 1964 was largely computer music completed at Bell Labs in New Jersey with Max Mathews. As such it constitutes one of the earliest significant bodies of algorithmically composed and computer synthesized music. Examples include Analog #1 (Noise Study) (1961) for tape using computer synthesized noise, and Phases (1963)."

Peter had laid the foundations for their movement some 30 years ago, in the 1960s, when he elicited unprecedented and outlandish sounds from everything from big bands to obscure machines called synthesisers and vocoders. These musical moments had now become a treasure trove for musicians and bands of all stripes, including Pulp, Air, Stereolab, Coldcut, Yoshinori Sunahara, Röyksopp, Jason Frederick and Die Fantastischen Vier (Fanta 4).    1:00:46 (Pop-up)

Perry Como  Papa Love Mambo   Favoriting Pure Gold  Sony Music  1975  Pierino Ronald "Perry" Como was an American singer, actor, and television personality. During a career spanning more than half a century, he recorded exclusively for RCA Victor for 44 years, from 1943 until 1987. "Papa Loves Mambo" is a popular song written by Al Hoffman, Dick Manning, and Bix Reichner and released in 1954. The best-known version was recorded by Perry Como with Mitchell Ayres's orchestra in New York City on August 31, 1954. The U.S. release peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard chart in January 1955. The recording was part of a wave of popular mambo music in the U.S. alongside songs like "They Were Doin' the Mambo" and "Mambo Italiano".    1:02:29 (Pop-up)
Wayne Newton  Danke Schoen   Favoriting Danke Schoen  Capitol Records  1963  Bert Kaempfert, who composed the melody, recorded it as an instrumental, in 1959 and later in 1962, under the title "Candlelight Cafe". Kurt Schwabach wrote the German lyrics. The song gained international fame in 1963 when singer Wayne Newton recorded an American version, with English lyrics by Milt Gabler. The song achieved renewed popularity when it was featured in the 1986 American comedy film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, lip-synced by the main character, Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) Wayne Newton's first version was released when he was 21 years old. The song was originally intended for singer Bobby Darin as a follow-up to his hit single "18 Yellow Roses" in the spring of 1963, but after seeing Newton perform at the Copacabana, Darin decided to give the song to Newton and transposed the key of the recording to fit Newton's voice... In the song, Newton pronounces the words as "dunke shane", rather than "danke schön", and it has been postulated that this is a regional accent variation that may have been prevalent in communities of German immigrants to the USA.    1:05:07 (Pop-up)

Sammy styled himself after Bobby Darin, he says, “because he was a good entertainer”. And like most pop stars of the era, Salvo was the sweetheart of all the girls. He got so many letters from girls that he used to fill up the trunk of his car with them.

Many iconic images at nuclear science museums throughout the United States come from the site. Las Vegas experienced noticeable seismic effects.

Heaven 17  Let's All Make a Bomb   Favoriting Penhouse and Pavement  Virgin  1981  Penthouse and Pavement is the debut studio album by English synth-pop band Heaven 17, released in September 1981 by Virgin Records. " Fascist Groove Thang" was released as a single, but did not achieve chart success, partly due to a ban by the BBC. The site—containing 28 areas in total—is located 65 miles (105 km) northwest of Las Vegas, where it covers a massive 1,360 square miles (3,522 sq km) of land between the town of Mercury, Nevada, to the southeast and the Pahute Mesa landform to the northwest. The site is an attraction for visitors and an area for radiological emergency training and waste disposal. Most notably, it remains a space for underground subcritical nuclear testing. It has been nicknamed, somewhat disputably, “the most bombed place on earth.”    1:38:27 (Pop-up)

Onyeabor's songs are often heavily rhythmic and synthesized, occasionally epic in scope, with lyrics decrying war. Onyeabor himself and female backing singers provided vocals. In the 2010s, some of his songs appeared on various compilations, most frequently his biggest hit, "Better Change Your Mind". According to the Luaka Bop record label, Onyeabor "self-released eight albums between 1977 and 1985 and then became a born-again Christian, refusing to ever speak about himself or his music again." The label reported that through attempting to speak with Onyeabor himself, and by talking to people who seem to have firsthand knowledge, it tried to construct an accurate biography of him for 18 months, without success.

Boy Division  The Ace of Spades   Favoriting III  Offbit  2001  Founded by members of Hamburg-based projects Pornopop, Hrubesch Youth and Superpunk, Boy Division is "the other kind" of Coverband.    1:46:02 (Pop-up)
The Jam  Pretty Green   Favoriting Sound Affects  Polydor  1980  Sound Affects is the fifth studio album by English rock band the Jam. The album was released on 28 November 1980 by Polydor Records. It is the only Jam album to be co-produced by the band themselves, and contains the only album track co-written by the entire band, "Music for the Last Couple" Polydor pushed for "Pretty Green" to be the first single released, but Weller insisted on "Start!". This involved consulting a few of the band's friends as to what they thought the best release would be. Weller had Polydor A&R man Dennis Munday ask a small peer group of his friends who had been present throughout the recording sessions at the Town House and prior demo recordings at Polydor Studios. Given the choice, they selected "Start!" as the best single release and the decision was made to release it. The decision was vindicated when "Start!" topped the British singles charts in its third week after entering at number three. One thing for sure..if' you're going to Vegas...better have a pocket full o' green!!!    1:47:20 (Pop-up)
The Fall  Bingo Master's Breakout   Favoriting 77 - Early Years - 79  Step Forward  1981  I am not much of a gambler, but hella I canNOT wait to play bingo in Vegas. Smith had typed out the lyrics during lunch breaks at his work at the docks. It was a roughly thrown pot of a song, but it captured what The Fall were about. "Nobody liked it," Smith said. "It was... out of tune and that. It was good. Stark, sort of." It was meant to be a single, but cash was tight and Boon passed the tapes to Kay Carroll, The Fall's manager, who sent them to the London indie Step Forward, financed by Miles Copeland and run by punk Mark Perry. Copeland signed The Fall after some cajoling from Perry's friend Danny Baker. A year after it had been recorded, "Bingo Master's Breakout" became The Fall's debut single. Perry said the version issued was the second take, "a deliberate rejection of the first take which was much more melodic". From the press release for Bingo Master's Breakout (Song is credited "Smith-Baines"): "The words to this were written out of actual stoned experience, composed about a month before recording. The only number which is a 2nd. take - the mis/tuned guitar being a deliberate rejection of the 1st. take which was much more melodic. Martin's guitar did not sound the same before or after. The tension in the band was at an all time peak and this shows through. The lyrics tell a good story also."    1:49:54 (Pop-up)
The Clash  The Card Cheat   Favoriting London Calling  Sony  1979  The lyrics take you through the story of a sad/lonely gambler cheating at cards (as the title would suggest). The dealer catches and shoots him. I’ve read a handful of armchair analyses of this song and it’s clear to me we all agree there’s subtext. Others seem to think it’s about mortality? Like, an everything-ends kind of thing, whether it’s life or love....Colonialism perhaps? Fun fact...there is no guitar on this track. It is epic and wonderful.    1:52:11 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ:
Herb Alpert

He put them into the oven and fifteen minutes later...
“What did you do? You said that you know how to make them.”

I'm fascinated by the early synth programming on this...it's so delightfully not quite in synch and a bit flappy on the low end...

There's a particular kind of old woman in the UK who REEKS of cigarettes and will kill you if you beat her at bingo. Always cracks me up :-)
The last time we went, some woman yelled bingo and the entire hoard of old women hissed "BITCHHHH" in unison :-)
