The Outnumbered "Holding The Grenade Too Long" 1986

Strangely enough, The Outnumbered's sophomore record starts off with a song that should have been the title cut of their debut which was called like this opening song, 'Why Are All the Good People Going Crazy'...
Like most of the other songs on 'Holding the Grenade Too Long', this song revisits the same jangle/garage pop as its predecessor but with a somewhat smoother and more melodic approach. - popphilJangle-punks the Outnumbered formed in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in 1982 by singer/guitarist Jon Ginoli and singer/bassist Paul Budin, who first met while both were reviewing records for the University of Illinois' student paper The Daily Illini. Teaming with lead guitarist Tim McKeage and drummer Ken Golub, the group played their first show that Halloween -- inspired by local heroes the Vertebrats, the Outnumbered set out to fuse the melodicism of the Byrds with the energy of the Ramones, quickly emerging as a favorite on the local underground music scene. They recorded their debut LP Why Are All the Good People Going Crazy? for the Homestead label in 1985, scoring a college radio hit with "I Feel So Sorry Now" and touring the country in support of bands including the Replacements, The Violent Femmes and Soul Asylum. Holding the Grenade Too Long followed in 1986, but as their popularity seemed to plateau at the cult level the Outnumbered disbanded a year later; a third LP, Work...Buy...Die, was issued posthumously on the local Edible label in 1988. Ginoli later relocated to San Francisco, where he formed the pioneering queercore band Pansy Division; an Outnumbered retrospective titled Surveying the Damage appeared on Parasol in 1998. - by Jason Ankenytrax:
01 Why Are All The Good People Going Crazy 02 Boy On A Roof 03 Away From Here 04 Long Long Gone 05 To Be Sure 06 I Want To Tell 07 Passive Voice 08 She's Gonna Take It Out On Me 09 I Fooled You Too 10 I Really Didn't Know What To Say 11 Drive Safely 12 Ruthless 13 I Really Wanted You 14 Numb To Tears 15 Equal Time

the day that italian '90 indie rock invaded TZ
sorry for this invasion of italian indie but hope someone could enjoy
(all link at 320)

First
C.S.I. (Consorzio Suonatori indipendenti) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consorzio_Suonatori_Indipendenti)
was an italian indie rock band born after the demise of punk band CCCP Fedeli alla linea. The name and the date of creation of the band aren't without significance. After the the dissolution of Soviet Union the member of punk band CCCP think that this experience have come to and end and that they need a reformation. As for the previous band the reference to Russia is direct CSI, apart to be the acronym of Consorzio Suonatori indipendenti is also the acronym of italian name of political entity that had come after the Soviet Union.
They are sure one of my favorite italian band and i'm very happy to share their Music on TZ.

La CrUs (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Crus)
were an italian band active from 1993 to 1998 and a temporary reunion on 2011 to partecipate to Sanremo Festival
They are maybe the italian alt rock band of '90 nearest to so called "Canzone d'autore italiana" ( and strangely are also of my mother favorite that love in particural the song "Io Confesso" their last as La Crus that they sing at Sanremo)

Marlene Kuntz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlene_Kuntz)
is another italian alt rock of '90 that is still active today. as La Crus also Marlene Kuntz blend the tradition of cantautorato ( italian version of singing songwriting) with noise rock
In Their first albums (the only i have) the music is a bit more harsh and experimental than the last albums that have a sound a bit more conventional

Massimo Volume (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Volume)
maybe the more post rock of this group of italian band of '90. Bases on text and spoken-word style of Emidio Clementi backed by drumming of vittoria Burattini and guitar work of Egle Sommacal this band is another of my favorite band of '90

And to End a compilation of cover from one of My Favorite Band Rage Against The Machine
I love this album mainly for their rendition of Beautiful World from Devo ( strangely i've start to love Devo after hearing their cover of Stones (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction on TV ( on a 70 police drama don't remember what)
(When i've rip the cd i've discovered that i own the Australian bonus track edition of the album. The Weird is that i've buy my copy in Italy)

MBUBE/WIMOWEH SONG SWARM
My Compilation

http://www98.zippyshare.com/v/d8ZOQwga/file.html

In Johannesburg, South Africa Soloman Linda was in a group called the
Evening Birds. In 1939 the Evening Birds recorded several tracks for
Gallo Records, one being a song they called Mbube. Soloman Linda
improvised the first 15 notes of the song and a new genre of recorded
African music was born which in time evolved into a lighter, softer
sound as sung by Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Sometime in the 1940s Pete Seeger heard the song and unable to
understand the lyric "Mbube" sounded it out as "Wimoweh" and brought it
to the Weavers who created their own version which became a hit in the
United States. A re-worked version of the song then exploded in 1961
as "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by a doo-wop group called the Tokens.
That song reached number one on Billboard's Top 100 where it stayed for
three weeks.
Although the song was recorded many times by many different artists (it
reportedly made Disney $15 million for its use in The Lion King alone)
Linda received no benefits for his writing. Seeger later sent Linda
$1000 but he saw no further money. Eventually Linda's estate settled
with Abilene Music Publishers, who held the worldwide rights. The
terms of this agreement are unknown.
In searching this song literally hundreds of versions have been
recorded. I've picked twenty varied versions so as not to clutter and
bore the listener.
Enjoy and sleep tonight. -- JohnnyDiego

Thank you JohnnyD for the delightful and definitely UN-boring collection of Mbube variations, but even more for giving us "the rest of the story". And even more for all you do to elevate the discourse and fellowship here at TZ and at many other blogs as well. You definitely "do More" in a time when that is sorely needed.

To add to the "rest of the story" see the obit in the NYT for Anita Darian who added the ethereal high-pitched counterpoint to the lead vocal.

Thanks Johnny Diego - great swarm!

apauling said...

Johnny D: Thanks for the Mbube/Wimoweh swarm. Fine audio medicine for depression and anxiety. I grew up in Joburg, and my dad, who possessed wildly eclectic tastes, would listen to the Bantu Hour radio broadcasts on weekends. The infectious joy of Zulu chorals and their surging rhythms became a part of my musical DNA. So much so that when Paul Simon's Graceland was released, it seemed a little like old news. I hope that Linda's descendents are enjoying the loot from Disney.

Thank you Iggy and to all those who have said they appreciate my contributions to TZ and to other blogs as well. It seems that TZ has gotten a little crazier of late and I've decided to hold back my out of the ordinary shares that for two years have given me tremendous joy in posting. I'm not going away, I'm here every day but have decided to share only when I feel it is appropriate and meaningful to me.
Thanks to all who contribute daily, however. You guys are what makes this blog my first stop each day, I'm always learning something. And thanks to RYP who never hesitates to post anything and everything I throw up there.

Crazy Legs, thank you thank you & thank you again. They are exactly what the doctor ordered to help staunch the holiday cash bleed that's wounding me right now. Nothing like moving one's ass in a rhythmic manner to stave off the "Holy Shit I spent how much this year" holiday blues. Thanks again.

Dick said...

R-man, you could literally say the same thing for every bit of music shared on here.

In my defense I love your records. When I see them I buy them. I have the first 3 Jim Jam Gems, all the Beat From Badsville's, Savage Rhythm & Voodoo Rhythm, all the Slow Grinds except 6, and a couple Exotic Rhythms. The problem is that I rarely see them. There's one existing record store that I know carries your records. A few days ago I specifically made the hour drive there hoping to get both Jukebox Fevers, Slow Grind 6 & Sinners Burn In Hell Vol. 1. Alas no luck. Of course I blew my money wad on other goodies so I had the owner special order Slow Grind & 2 other records from you. If that goes well I'll probably eventually buy everything on the above list that way.

I prefer vinyl. I prefer hard copies. I don't like paying postage that can be better spent on music.

But since you're apparently offended by my request, I'll withdraw it.

thanks for birthday wishes
sure if i wasn't italian born in 1970 and don't know the CSI as political entity and the story of CCCP and CSI as music band also for me CSI could refer to Crime Scene Investigation ( good series but i love more seing series with female medical examiner as Crossing Jordan).
For sure if you don't put also band ( or gruppo musicale) the first google answer for CSI is a reference to wiki page of Tv Series
