Hi Leute,
da ich selber nicht so gerne schreibe, habe ich mal wieder geklaut( www.lastcallrecords.com/biographies/alexchilton.html )!
Alex Chilton
Born in Memphis Tennessee Alex Chilton -like many kids from Elvis`s home town -dreamt of little other than playing in a band.With his parents approval he formed his whilst still at college.After only a couple of gigs in front of friends,Alex had to go into the army.Things could have stopped right there had not his unique voice grabbed the attention of two producers....
They offered the young Alex the chance to record "the Letter"
Unless you`ve spent the last twenty four years in the jungle,you must have heard this song at least once and you might even remember the name of the group :The Box Tops "The Letter" was the biggest worldwide hit of 1967,topping the charts everywhere.Several other hits followed including "Cry like a Baby". "Neon Rainbow" and "Choo Choo Train"....
Alex was barely 17 years old.
Problems arose when Alex was no longer allowed to have his say about the choice of new material (Producers dominated then as now)Poor songs were followed by the enforced replacement of his friends by professional studio musicians.Being more involved in music than brief fame and quick money Alex decided to handle his own career his own way and play his own music.
In 1971 he formed BIG STAR with his friend Chris Bell.The first BIG STAR album "Radio City" was released to unanimous critical acclaim and the stage was set.Unfortunately,the second album "Big Star" whilst confirming the great talent of Alex and his friends,sold disappointingly and the groups label refused to release the bands third album.After many trials and tribulations it did eventually reach the shops by the end of the 70`s but it was too late for BIG STAR.Completely disillusioned Alex started to have severe difficulties and disappeared from the music scene for a while.
Finally resurfacing in the "Big Apple"Alex started playing in Max`s Kansas City,CBGB`s and all the other New York bars and clubs and recorded a wonderful but poorly distributed EP.The follow up single "Bangkok",one of the best singles of the 70`s gained him the recognition he deserved.A year later he released the enigmatic "Like Flies on Sherbet" and produced The Cramps first album "Songs The Lord Taught Us"
Alex spent the early 80`s producing & playing with Tav Falco`s Panther Burns before disappearing once again.Or so it seemed...In fact he moved to New Orleans in 1982 quit drinking and resolved to clean up his act,This process included time working as a dish washer and a lumberjack...There would be no more music until...
Summer 1985 saw the return of a rejuvenated completely healthy Alex Chilton and the release of his first record for five years "Feudalist Tarts" (a six track minin LP) revealed an Alex Chilton who had recovered the Jazz\Soul influences of his formative years.A great fusion of sophisticated soul and sublime horn arrangements.
In 1987 he released "High Priest" then in 1990 the great "Black List".In 94 Alex recorded one of his all time great LP`s "Cliches" where he covers standards like "My baby just cares","Time after Time" and "all of Me".
In 1994 he recorded along with Alan Vega & ben Vaughan the very brilliant "Cubist blues".
Now Alex is cult idol for bands like the DB`s, REM,The Violent Femmes.The Soft Boys,The Posies,Teeenage Fanclub.....Others like The Bangles,Replacements,this Mortal Coil & The Nomads are playing his tunes.
Alex Chilton is the rock equivalent of Dennis Hopper,not quite a household name but a legend to all who have come across him.His work with Big Star and numerous solo projects have earned him universal respect in the rock world.
Diese Scheiben share ich ab sofort im Ordner FKGM bei soulseek!

1979 Like Flies on Sherbert
1982 Live in London
1987 Stuff

Bei Bedarf könnte ich auch die drei Big Star - Alben rippen!
Wer hat noch andere Scheiben??

www.westnet.com/consumable/2000/02.09/revchilt.html
Der AMG rezensent ist nicht so begeistert: "The problem is, he sounds like he just can't be bothered. It's not that these recordings are raw — the production is unvarnished, but the performance is professional as can be — it's that they're lazy. Some members of his cult find that endearing, while other listeners (and not just Big Star diehards) will tire of it after a couple of songs. It's no better or no worse than its predecessors; it simply offers more of the same. — Stephen Thomas Erlewine"
rask's meinung: hab die GANZE platte schon mehrmal gehört und finde sie nicht langeweilig

PUNKABILLY
intro bei AMG:
"The Cramps' unique sound synthesizes classic rockabilly, touches of psychedelia, and lyrical fare devoted mostly to monster movies and sleazy sex into an infectious, gloriously tasteless conglomeration of American trash culture. While their subject matter may verge on offensive to some, their obvious sense of humor and the fun, disposable feel of their best work prevent the listener from ever taking things more seriously than they should. The group was formed by vocalist Erick "Lux Interior" Purkhiser and guitarist Kirsty "Poison Ivy Rorschach" Wallace, who met in Sacramento and found they shared an affinity for obscure '50s rockabilly and surf records and junk culture"

This stuff is laughably amateurish, the sad wreckage of a once promising career. This is supposed to be the highlights from 19 years in the biz. Makes me shudder to think what the lowlights must sound like. Stick with Big Star or even the Boxtops, bands from Chilton's youth that actually made some fine music. I don't know enough of Chilton's personal history to have any understanding of how he went so wrong - most likely the usual suspects - drugs, alcohol, an out-of-control ego, who knows? But comparing the best material from the first two Big Star albums with this rubbish cannot help but make you wonder what the heck happened to this guy.

audio:
Erster Titel - und man steckt diesen Burschen in die seichteste Schlager- Ecke zwischen Country und Pop. Doch dann legt das Stil-Chamäleon in Retrospektive los: wilder Beat im Stil der Who, Psychedelic- und Avant- garde-Anklänge, schräge Akkorde, stampfende Rhythmen - der Gitarrist und Sänger mit der Knabenstimme dampft in schwankender Tonqualität durch alle Gassen. Kein Wunder, daß er schnell zur ebenso erfolglosen wie verehrten Kultfigur wurde. Independent-Matadoren können ihn getrost zum Paten wählen.

Alex Chilton, Ben Vaughn, Alan Vega - Cubist Blues
(2.13.61/Thirsty Ear)
Lofty expectations are inevitable any time beloved musicians collaborate. Sometimes such pairings pay off, Louis Armstrong's transcendent recordings with Ella Fitzgerald being a prominent example. More often, the results resemble a baseball all-star game (or Electronic), raising the question of how such talent could provoke such boredom. Unfortunately, this collaboration involving three cult figures—Big Star's Alex Chilton, Suicide's Alan Vega and that guy who does the music for Third Rock From the Sun —falls into the latter category. While the playing is fine, there's nothing really inventive going on here and, when coupled with Vega's wearying vocal improvisations, the overall impression is that someone has unearthed a long-lost demo tape by the Doors. Essentially a recorded jam session, this should be of interest only to the already converted. It'll bore everyone else. —Keith Phipps

The album's highlight, "You and Your Sister" — which features backing vocals from none other than Bell's Big Star mate Alex Chilton — is simply one of the great unknown love songs in the pop canon, a luminous and fragile ballad almost otherworldly in its beauty.

They say my love for you ain't real
But they don't know how real it feels
All I want to do

So I can hold you, hold you

You know I'd show them them if I could
Love you every day
Love to hear you say
Your love won't be leaving
Your eyes ain't deceiving

Inhalt
Wer ich bin ...
OskarMaria lebt und arbeitet in Frankfurt - hier mit Sohnemann. Wenn freie Zeit fürs Internet bleibt, dann gibt es hier neue Beiträge. Lieblingszitat: "Von den Dreien, Staat, Regierung und Ich - bin ich der stärkste. Das merkt euch!" (Ret Marut aka B. Traven im Ziegelbrenner)
Nachtrag: OskarMaria das ist eine kleine Verbeugung vor dem beinahe vergessenen Schriftsteller Oskar Maria Graf. In Zeiten der Bücherverbrennungen wurden seine Werke von den Nazis verschont, ja sogar teilweise empfohlen. "Verbrennt mich!" schrieb er 1933 in der Wiener Arbeiterzeitung, "nach meinem ganzen Leben und nach meinem ganzen Schreiben habe ich das Recht, zu verlangen, dass meine Bücher der reinen Flamme des Scheiterhaufens überantwortet werden und nicht in die blutigen Hände und die verdorbenen Hirne der braunen Mordbanden gelangen!" Schließlich floh er in die USA - dort lebte er in bescheidenen Verhältnissen. Deutschland wollte den unbequemen Mann nach dem Krieg nicht wieder haben. Er starb 1967 in New York.
Literaturempfehlung: Wir sind Gefangene - Autobiograhie 1927.
