The Mono Men "Bent Pages" 1993

This collection of early Mono Men singles and B-sides captures the group at its roughest, which is an attribute…...The Mono Men have always played up their adherence to '60s garage-rock, but quite often the group showcases a much heavier blues-rock sound. Perhaps it's the covers of the Sonics' "The Witch" and Billy Childish's "Catalina" and "Lie Detector" that lead to such an assertion, but even originals like "Daylight" and "Right Now" exhibit a rawer energy that was buried deep in the mix of Mono Men studio albums. The covers, however, are the central aspect of the album, and The Wipers' "Over The Edge" is the most blistering. - by Matt Carlson

01 Burning Bush 02 The Witch 03 Away 04 No Time 05 Hang Up 06 Daylight 07 I Don't Care 08 Watch Outside 09 Catalina 10 Right Now 11 No Reasons To Complain 12 Boss Hoss 13 Lie Detector 14 Over The Edge

I believe that the majority of people who don't "get" Zappa also don't know how to play a musical instrument.

Fourcade said...

@Jimmie Dee: Yes, I agree. I don't know how to play a musical
instrument, and indeed I don't "get" Zappa. He frightens me
a bit.
BTW now we're talking about this, any kind soul could tell me
a good place (i.e. album) to begin "getting" into Zappa?

luis said...

sure is very easy being an italian use zappa surname to play pun on people inability to make something (zappa is italian for hoe and often in italy the locution "va a zappare" (go to hoe) is used to say to someone he is totally incapable of doing something (although in fact the farmer's job is very far from being easy)
but i'll try to avoid this

De gustibus non est disputandum. everyone can like or not something or someone and believe is stupid try to making him changing idea if he don't want.

i don't believe if someone said i'm not into zappa music is saying he isn't a great musician only he personally don't like zappa music (or at least I hope so)

personally i'm not into Eric Clapton but never say or only think he isn't one of greatest guitar player (sure isn't god for me also because i'm (para)agnostic)

Another thing i'm not a musician and never had problem to like zappa music.
believe the problem with accepting Zappa is more into his approach on defy the music rock convention that playing music.

apauling said...

Re Frank Zappa, I reside somewhere in the middle, admiring the hell out of his musicianship and compositional chops, but not connecting emotionally with a lot of his music. But I've always remembered a Zappa quote from an old interview in which he said something to the effect that the things that made him laugh sent his friends to the hospital.

dormouse said...

Thank you Jimmie Dee for your contributions, they sound fantastic on my hifi....Absolutely Free from the Mothers happens to be one of my favourite records, interesting that Zappa frightens someone a bit, even annoying somebody else....he was a provocative man, a real artist in my opinion.

plissken said:

a few words on the ZAPPA topic.........

I grew up on and love 70s Glam Rock, 70s Hard Rock (what they now call Classic-Rock), Punk-Rock, New Wave. I love 'Social Distortion', 'The Misfits', 'Bad Brains', 'Descendents', Scandinavian Kick-Ass Rock (Hellacopters, Gluecifer, Turbonegro), 50s Rockabilly, 60s Soul, 70s Funk.
But there's nothing that's better than 'Zappa mid to late 70s'. Equal - but not better!
I don't get/dig most of his early Stuff and most of his 80s Stuff bores me. But do yourself a favor and start with 'Overnite-Sensation' go to 'One Size fits all' than from 'Apostrophe' to 'Roxy and Elsewhere', 'Bongo Fury', 'Zoot Allures', Zappa in New York', 'Sheik Yerbouti' and stop with 'Joe's Garage Act 1'.
Some recommended early songs (for the gorgeous melodies alone) would be 'Peaches en Regalia', 'Let's make the water turn black' or 'Take your clothes off when you dance'. A later dittie would be 'I don't wanna get drafted'.
If you listen to Songs like 'Dirty Love', 'Pygmy Twylyte','Cosmik Debris', 'Village of the Sun', 'Honey,don't you want a man like me' or 'Andy' and don't have the urge to raise your fist and yell YESSSSSS or at least sit there on your couch with a big smile on your face and your feet tapping - than your a lost cause. But don't mind, go on and have a happy life - it's just music............

"I don't want to spend my life explaining myself. You either get it, or you don't." - Frank Zappa

"The musical message is a philosophical message, and it's very simple . . . You are never gonna please anybody else, so you might as well please yourself." - Frank Zappa

Gaius said:
Concerning Zappa: When I was young, you couldn't pass Frank by. You saw him with his trousers down on his knees on every toilet you visited in your friend's houses. And the music: Being in education and seeing the jobs to come in the near future you couldn't pass by: "We're only in it for the money". It was exactly what many people thought, that there must be a real life aside from making career somewhere in the business world. (And you definitely lost that kind of feeling by growing older, became married, having children...). And as a German you suddenly stumbled again over Zappa when he - let's say - tried to sing in German in '78: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BppOWoK2Fc.

And away from Zappa. It's another interesting fact that you won't find any negative critic about one Soft Machine Album. I ask myself and I'm wondering: "Is there anyone in the world who hears Soft Machine today? Is there anyone talking about?" Many people in the early 70's had at least one album from this UK-Band. Had they ever listened to it past 1980? I really don't believe. Writing today about the Soft Machine the most interesting argument is: It's unbelievable what kind of music could be published in this golden era of rock music. No Record Company would accept an album like "Soft Machine I" today even though you find consumable tracks on it as "Why are we sleeping":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwc_gosvQ_A

But on the same album there is the title "Hope for Happiness";

I tell you, you'll wait in vain, but you wait for a fast end to come (and it didn't):

Re Frank Zappa: I've been a fan of Zappa & The Mothers ever since I bought the "Freakout" album when it first came out just because it was weird. But then, the third time I played it, it all came together and hit me like a brick. Many of his more strident jazz albums are not much to my liking, but his brilliance is everywhere. I agree with many of the albums plissken mentioned above, but don't miss, Just Another Band From L.A. & Live At The Fillmore East - June 1971. Also, Waka/Jawaka is one of my absolute favorites, with mostly soaring, uplifting instrumentals.

(Oh, and I never could learn to play an instrument or even sing in key.)

@ luis
I found this quote of Lhasa on a blog and that's why I wanted to hear her music : "Music that does not please me is an enemy music, I hate it, I judge it. I tell myself: she tries to depress me this music, she wants to tell me that reality is like that and that there is no beauty in this world. She wants to pull me down. She wants to kill me.
But a music I like is like meeting with a smart alien life. A miracle."
I like this idea of hating some music especially nowadays when commercial music can be so boring...

Interesting this topic mentions Zappa & Soft Machine. A lot in common. Like durian (the fruit)love it or hate it. I love it ! Soft Machine #1 is a classic. I have problems getting into the others but without them we would not have Mike Oldfield. First tiem I saw Zappa he was on tv not playing guitar not piano but playing a bicycle. True story. He was a musical genius & like all true artists a bit strange. My fav is Louie Louie by Zappa. Look it up.

Zappa it has always only been Hot Rats and Joes Garage .. none of the others really captured me so I didn't really get into him but followed him through friends.. I also was not a Dead Head ..

Frank Zappa was gross and pervered, obsessed and deranged. He was performing for years, but the world never changed. He made a fool of the government, and industry too, he was delighted to chew and regurgitate you. You may be vile and pernicious, he won't turn you away; although his lyrics were vicious, they had something to say. Some don't like him a bit, but you must admit: At the least he recorded some damn funny shit.

anonymous who complained re soul abundance misses the point about music. Great music is great music regardless of genre. I love TZ coz it's not a 'boutique' niche-ist place, it is more like the department store where almost every genre gets some presentation time ...even jazz lol :)
As for Frank Zappa I've been a fan since I was given Sheik Yirbouti as a birthday present once from my uncle. Someone in comments decried 'dancing fool' as a horible song yet it is what made me love mr Z along with that one about the morons in suburbia. My second Zappa was strictly commercial compilation then hot rocks, then wesels ripped my flesh then apostrophe... UI'm about halfway to completing my collection. Any donors of Zappa always appreciated.
