agreed. its a bit sexist though.

 

[nEiLo]

it's an Ivor Cutler song.

Jeez doesn't anyone read liner notes anymore?

"women of the world take over/ cos if you don´t the world will come to an end/ it won´t take long"

i like the sentiment. kinda takes the pressure of us men folk

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

great tune. kerry katonas' cover of it is shite though. nearly ruined the original for me.

 

[plug]

yes, it is indeed a cover. and 'something big' is, of course, an unmistakeably bacharach number.

I'm more of a fan of 'halfway to a threeway'. deadly...

Me too, but deep down it's Bad Timing for me...

first time I listened to bad timing and 'that' band comes in on the last track, I nearly shit my pants... took weeks to get my head round that someone actually decided that should happen on a record, total genius...

a similar trick is used on Gastr Del Sol's "Bauchredner" which is my favourite JOR related release.

 

[dudley]

the cutler version is waaaaay better

 

[plug]

god yeah, bad timing.. touché! awesome stuff.

wasn't there a vicious rumour knocking around (probably on thumped) earlier this year that he was releasing a new rekkid in 2005? s'bollox, yeah?

 

[nEiLo]

I think he's released a load of stuff this year... usually very limited noise/drone things which can be very good.

this I have not heard what's it on

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

!

I fucking love that bit. Also the Ivor Cutler one I have includes the lyrics
"Men have had their shot / and look at what we've go / So women of the world, take over..."


And funily enough my brother said exactly the same thing to me yesterday (about the track being deadly, not about women "taking over" from men).

Camoufleur, last track I think.


Does JOR play all the fucked-up guitar in Gastr del Sol (e.g. Work From Smoke) or does David Grubbs play crazy acoustic too? Or is he just on the quasi-bogey lyrics?

Grubbs is an amazing guitarist. I think he does most of the playing.

Me too!!

I think i actually fell off my seat hearing that one!
(*bapbap bah....!! bapbapbah! or more realistic trumpet sounds*)

Jim is my favourite:heart:

I have this chronically bad condition.. I can't stop collecting Jim O' Rourke/O'Rourke related albums....

He rocks and that is all.
