NAME ME SOMEONE THAT IS NOT A PARASITE 5
Goblin are best known for essentially being the house band for Dario Argento’s better films. Goblin married dark ambient and atmospheric swathes with elements of prog and krautrock to brew up a truly menacing stew that suited Argento’s work perfectly. Goblin and Argento’s most successful collaborations are probably Profondo Rosso (1975) and the truly transcendentally amazing Suspiria (1977). Their soundtrack to Zombi (aka Dawn Of The Dead, 1978) aint too shabby either. As well as their soundtrack work Goblin cut straight up records too including the excellent Roller from 1976. This track is taken from the final Argento/Goblin collaboration, 2000’s Non Ho Sonno. The band’s legacy lives on with the occasional reunion show and via Goblin-accolytes Zombi whose entire output has basically been total Goblin-worship.

RIDDIM DRIVEN - MESHACH DANIEL FALCONER ROBERTS
SQUARE DANCE RIDDIM
Today I woke up feeling less of a man then ever before. Almost paralytic with self-pity and disgust, I managed to pull myself out of bed for examination. My pride looked as if it had taken a battering from an aggravated Tyson and all self-belief had long since disappeared. I tried to wash the shame off in the shower but each centilitre of warm water that touched my body felt like a gallon of hot shame. The reason why is unimportant, but it is a notable low - a feeling I imagine to be paralleled by all those involved in the Square Dance Riddim. There are definitely more troughs than peaks in Dancehall but this is something unforgivable, a mockery from within of something too easily mockable. This is a riddim to be listened to and instantly forgotten.

I am going to break with my self imposed method of track selection this week purely because I have been out of the country for a bit and while I was away I became obsessed with listening and re-listening to a single track. That hasn’t happened to me in a long time so I thought I would share the track in question with you.
It is a song that I am sure many of you may well be familiar with. It is from Fairport Convention’s 1969 LP Liege & Lief, an album that I (and I am sure quite literally millions of other people) have enjoyed for many years. I am not sure what made me pull the album out again but after my first re-listen in a good while I couldn’t stop playing “Tam Lin” which is the penultimate track on side two (if you are listening to the album on vinyl).
The story of Liege & Lief has been told countless times and I won’t bore you all with the details but for those who aren’t aware in a nutshell it represents Fairport’s highwater mark in terms of their output, it practically single-handedly created the template for ‘English’ folk-rock and it almost never happened at all. In May 1969 Fairport’s van crashed on the M1 as the band travelled back south after a show in Birmingham. The accident claimed the life of drummer Martin Lamble and Richard Thompson’s girlfriend Jeannie Franklyn. It looked like the band was over but after decamping to an old English country house near Winchester and recruiting new drummer Dave Mattacks and Dave Swarbrick on fiddle they set about making what Richard Thompson would describe as an English response to The Band’s Music From Big Pink. Where The Band looked to Appalchian mountain ballads, bluegrass and American roots music for inspiration Fairport delved into the arcane world of the great ancient British ballads and traditional folk songs, a heritage far older, odder, mythical and strange than their US contemporaries source material.
“Tam Lin” perfectly encapsulates Fairport’s pioneering ability to re-interpret a legendary ballad (the first appearance of which was recorded in 1549) and set the whole shebang to a unique electric accompaniment. The lyrics concern a man entrapped by a curse laid upon him by a fairy queen in a forest in Scotland called Catterhaugh (that exists in real life) who can only be rescued by his true love. It’s all a bit confusing to be honest but this might help explain the narrative a little.
The centrepiece of the track is Sandy Denny’s vocal. Soon after Liege & Lief was completed Denny left Fairport first forming a short lived band called Fotheringay before recording four solo albums and briefly returning to Fairport before her tragically premature death from a brain haemorrhage caused by falling down the stairs of her parents home in Cornwall in 1978. She left behind a voice which defined early Fairport and would arguably go on to define English folk like no other female vocalist before or since.

BUZZ RIDDIM
We are at a crisis point in this country; bees are disappearing and we have no idea where they are going, no clues, nothing. Not even a carcass to examine. This is especially painful for me, as I love bees - really love them - I would marry them if I could. Happily accommodating a harem of 6,000 if possible.
Not for any sexual reason, the animal I’d most like to press has got to be the alligator. I’d flip my girl on her back and slip and slide on that smooth reptilian belly all day and all night, maybe interlock my fingers with her claws, y’know just getting intimate. I’d marry the bees for their selfless honey production. This would of course mean all my marriages would have to be gay ones as it’s the male drones who make the honey. A relationship like this making me a queen but so what; ain’t nothing but righteousness comes from being a queen. I’ll create a world for just us. It would only last a generation however as a world built solely on gay marriage doesn’t produce offspring, but whatever, nothing lasts forever.

NAME ME SOMEONE THAT IS NOT A PARASITE 4
Hello. Another week, another randomly selected MP3 from the great somewhere in my iTunes. This week we have the oddly titled track “Yourkshire Indian Sitting In The Sun” by Jan Dukes De Grey. Jan Dukes De Grey isn’t actually a person, they were a band that operated in the late 1960’s and had an influence on the British psyche-folk movement that was very much inversely proportional to how widely known their work is even today compared to say, The Incredible String Band or even Comus who have seen a thorough (and well deserved) revival of late. This track is taken from the band’s debut LP, Sorcerers, which founding members Michael Bairstow and Derek Noy recorded as a duo in 1969. In retrospect Sorcerers can be seen as a fairly conventional folk LP with very odd lyrics but it certainly created the template for Jan Dukes De Grey’s second LP, Mice & Rats In The Loft which consisted of three long, semi-improvised jams and is rightly regarded as a classic of the genre. Both LP’s have been re-issued in the last decade and the recent re-issue of Mice & Rats In The Loft on the Italian Earmark Label with liner notes by David Tibet of Current93 comes highly recommended. Happy listening.
