324: David Lindley // El Rayo-X

El Rayo-X David Lindley 1981, Asylum

David Lindley was plenty famous by sideman standards and even had a hit of sorts with his version of “Mercury Blues,” but there’s a good chance the moment this master of every stringed instrument imaginable will be most remembered for is his endearing little falsetto part at the end of Jackson Browne’s “The Load Out/Stay.” Say, why don’t we watch that now?

You know he was always doing goofy shit like that to crack the guys up at rehearsal, and this particular time the boss liked it enough to run with it. Lindley just seemed like a great guy to play music with. He was trusted enough by producers and capital-S Songwriters to play on major statements like Songs of Leonard Cohen, Warren Zevon, and uh Joe Walsh’s There Goes the Neighborhood, but he had a way of making his personality known even when his job was to simply make you weep with a lap steel part and no funny business, thanks. There was his fondness for wringing inimitable noises out of cheap instruments and his penchant for loud polyester, despite looking like a mouse who transformed into a human guitarist after trying to nest inside an enchanted slide bar.

His solo bow, El Rayo-X is… not a classic, despite the AllMusic review calling it “one of the greatest rock music albums of its time” (!). It’s cartoon guitar music that skips across a mishmash of genres from Tex-Mex to zydeco, though all of it is recorded with an ‘80s pop-rock sheen by Jackson Browne (who, despite his beige demeanor, always favoured tacky paintjobs as a producer). It is all sort of Fun in a Dave & Buster’s kind of way, but the wacky jokes don’t really land and, although everybody plays their asses off, I get the sense this crew would’ve been a lot more fun to see rocking like the Winona Peach Festival than they are to listen to on record.

Still, I will always have a lot of love in my heart for Lindley, who passed away a year ago today at age 78. Why has COVID had such an unslakable lust for our finest and goofiest musicians?

201: John Prine // Bruised Orange

Bruised Orange John Prine 1978, Asylum

In the shower a little bit ago I had the thought to start this piece by making an argument for John Prine as the “Mark Twain of American songwriting,” a comparison that seemed like an apt way to get at his affably stoic, compassionately sarcastic outlook. “What an original peg,” I thought to myself. Turns out it’s what Rolling Stone’d called him in a 2017 feature that I have definitely read, and which was quoted in every obit after he died from COVID-19 in 2020, and on every hype sticker on the latest series of reissued vinyl. Ere goes, there goes that idea. So, instead, I’ll just note instead that he had the cutest cheeks in rock ‘n’ roll, two plump crabapple wedges set underneath his dark, perpetually amused eyes. He always looked like he was stifling a laugh at some absurd detail in the moth-eaten tapestry of the world’s everyday cruelty you hadn’t noticed yet, but it didn’t seem to sour him.

Cheeks!

Dem cheeks!

In the Midwest, most people are conditioned to believe life is hard work, and that not everyone gets what they want—but also that everyone who does work deserves their share of the simple pleasures. The first step to enlightenment, such as it’s possible in this view, is seeing the world without pretension or unreasonable expectations. Bob Dylan called Prine’s songwriting “Midwestern existentialism,” and it’s there in his portraits of wifebeaters and working men on the make and altar boys run down by trains. But then he’ll hit you with some intensely surreal image delivered in that same matter-of-fact way, like he’s saying, “Maybe there is more to this existence, but you’ll never know for sure, so you’ll just have to go on feeling about it whatever way makes the most to sense to you.”

Bruised Orange might be his Twainiest record: “Fish and Whistle,” the most lovable song he ever wrote, could be about Tom Sawyer were he born in the middle of the twentieth century, while the story of “Sabu Visits the Twin Cities Alone” is heartbreakingly stupid in a way that feels distinctly American. I won’t argue for Bruised Orange as superior song-for-song to Prine’s sainted self-titled debut, nor does it mine the same psychological depths, but it is a more companionable listen, with the artist operating at such a level of breezy command that even bits of fluff like “Iron Ore Betty” and “Aw Heck” feel just sublime. If you like Prine’s music best with full band arrangements, this is the one for you.

Sweeney todd au where Anthony steals Johannas reticule from the judges house before grabbing Johanna from the insane asylum thus she has her reticule (Victorian purse which she explicitly states is from her mother) with her when she is dressed in the sailor clothes and in sweeneys murder room and when sweeney finds her hiding he sees the reticule and recognizes it then badgers and shakes her making her hat fall off and her confess its from her mother and shes running away with anthony. Sweeney recongizes her but before he can say hes her father or anything mrs lovett screams and the rest of the musical happens how it happens but sweeney at least knows johanna is in Safeish hands and his plan worked the end

#sweeney todd #hi im finally listening to the new cast recording with josh groban #it always saddens me sweeney never sees his grown up daughter without knowing its her and he almost kills her #and knows shes safe away from the insane asylum #cant decide if its worse for Johanna to Know sweeney is her dad and murderer or just the murderer part

why is it so easy for people in smallville to get a hold of each other’s medical records. why are we supposed to think it’s shady when lex does it but fine when chloe does it. has no one in this town heard of hippa.

#smallville #don’t mind me i rewatched shattered/asylum last night #and i’m just thinking about the number of times we’re casually told chloe has been able to access lex’s medical records #girl how are you getting those you are SEVENTEEN
