February 5, 2014: William S. Burroughs Centenary/Centennial

American writer/painter/performer William S. Burroughs was born 100 years ago today. And if you wonder why we do a blog post on him here on music-minded Radio Dupree it is because he made an impact on more than one of the artists featured on this station. (Cue: Burroughs -> Naked lunch -> Steely Dan or why not Frank Zappa ->The Talking Asshole.)
We even have him on the playlist now and then.

For the quick Wikipedia bio we suggest you use this link.

And here's a couple more:

The tracklist for Zappa CD Joe's Camouflage

http://www.zappa.com/fz/discography/2014joescamoflage.html

The band that never left the rehearsal room

New Zappa CD - Joe's Camouflage: rehearsals from the summer of 1975 with the short-lived line up that never went on tour or recorded an album:
Frank Zappa: guitar and vocals
Napoleon Murphy Brock: sax, vocals, keyboards
Robert "Frog" Camarena: guitar and vocals
Denny Walley: guitar and vocals
Novi Novog: viola and vocals
Roy Estrada: bass and vocals
Terry Bozzio: drums and vocals

http://barfkoswill.shop.musictoday.com/Product.aspx?cp=971_57756&pc=ZPCD169

Two tracks from the album has been spinning on Zappa Radio on live365.com for a while now:
Phyniox, Take 1 (2.30) Instrumental piece not reminiscent of any other known Zappa work (we think). Sounds like a piece of music at early developing stages. Mostly a guitar solo over a chord pattern laid down by a (clavinet?) keyboard and a rhythm guitar. Bozzio's style of drumming is somewhat pompous here.

Any Downers (6.00) Early version reminding of the one performed during the fall '75 tour. A version that focused more on the band's theatrical talents. Allows more fun and cavortment compared to the one released of You Are What You Is (1981).

Joe's Camouflage is also supposed to feature at least two other songs: Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance and The Illinois Enema Bandit. Of these four songs Phyniox seems to be the most thrilling one since it is previously unknown by fans.

Syd Barrett's catalogue now on Spotify

Syd's "uniquely memorable and influential catalogue is now available to stream on Spotify." 
That is how they put it on the Facebook Pink Floyd account, which is run by EMI. Great!

Keith Carlock new Toto drummer!

Drummer Keith Carlock will join legendary group Toto according to the band's website:

It has also been announced that long-time member drummer Simon Phillips will be departing the band to pursue his solo career and other interests. 
Luke shares, "He is still a dear friend and we wish him the very best and continued success," 

The band welcomes new addition Keith Carlock (Steely Dan, Sting, James Taylor, John Mayer).  Carlock originally hails from Clinton, Mississippi, and has collaborated with Luke in the past in the jam band Toxic Monkey.

Will Keith be leaving the Steely Dan lineup he's been part of for the past ten-or-so years?
We doubt it. We're sure that Keith can keep both gigs.

Here's a couple of "Steely Dan-quotes" from Keth's website:

Donald Fagen on Keith :

"Keith's attitude, his enthusiasm, and everything is just great. When you're cutting tracks like we do, the band will get to a certain point when things are working and everything coalesces, and everybody realizes they are now going to play a take. To get there you need not just the drummer, but everybody to have refined their parts.

We had that with this band, thanks in large part to Keith. We would get to that point and converge on something, and he would give us a take we could really work with."

Walter Becker on Keith:

"...we're trying to re-create a kind of rhythmic feel that predates the drum machine era, where it's really a feel generated by the players, something that has a swing and a lope to it and still has hypnotically steady time.

With Keith, everything he tried to play worked in that way. He also began with a good idea of where a tune was supposed to go, and he got better as we played it. He actually made this whole thing possible... His groove is just as good at the end of the day as it is at the beginning."

(Thanks to Carsten for the news!)
