Live Concert Photography: Loosegroove Records Showcase at Saint Vitus Bar 7/25/23 feat. Jonny Polonsky and Tigercub’s Jamie Hall I’ve been busily attempting to catch up on my photo editing and a few other things before the close of 2023, including a couple of shows I wasn’t able to edit right away because of tech issues. Back in July, Loosegroove Records, founded by Pearl Jam‘s Stone Gossard,…

Thinking about how Pearl Jam's Ten tour ended in late September of 1992... Then the recording of BRAD's Shame happened in early October then the making of Vs. happened not too long after that. And Shame and Vs. both came out in 1993!

Relaxation? Stone doesn't know her! One band at a time? No, Stone is musically polyamorous!

While I am a 30-year-old teenager, by the time Stone was 30 he:

Had already been in 7! bands (March of Crimes, The Ducky Boys, Green River, Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Pearl Jam, and BRAD). Too lazy to count all the albums that were recorded between those bands.

Not to mention, wrote many of the tracks on one of the greatest albums of all time, Ten. Then went on to make Vs. and Vitalogy, and recorded No Code.

Founded a record label, Loosegroove.

Toured internationally multiple times.

Testified before Congress against Ticketmaster.

He also won a Grammy---that is rotting away somewhere as we speak.

What are you doing with your life?

Queens of the Stone Age - "Mexicola" From the Promo CDEP Live At Bob's Garage (1999)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Originally broadcast live on Seattle's KISW on February 15, 1999, this was released later that year on a four-track promo CD-R by Loosegroove Records.

A better version than on the debut. I don't wanna say that the drums are deft or anything like that, because they're not, they're *pounded*, like everything else with this band. But there is an interesting back and forth between the rhythm guitar and the drums, as if Alfredo Hernandez is banging away but only in between the downstrokes.

Album Reviews: Asteroid City soundtrack / Deaf Charlie

This week I got to review two new album releases that are polar opposites: a soundtrack compilation and a side project from a music legend:

Asteroid City original soundtrack

Wes Anderson isn’t just one of the most visually stunning directors of the now, he is also a master of concocting a perfect soundtrack album as both a companion piece to the film and a mixtape to evoke the mood of the film, i.e. his 60s-centric rock soundtracks to Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. But he’s also done unique music selection for his films like The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou in which Brazilian musician Seu Jorge covered David Bowie songs. For Anderson’s new film Asteroid City, it’s set in 1955 in a fictional AZ desert town where a cross section of visitors come together in the town for a junior stargazer convention when strange occurrences happen. It is an event movies but as Wes Anderson would make it. To match the time period and locale 16 of the 25 tracks are classic country music from that era including Tex Ritter, Bill Monroe, Burl Ives, Slim Whitman, and more. But there’s also loads of the film score from Alexandre Desplat, a frequent collaborator of Anderson’s who won an Oscar for his score to Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. Also featured on the soundtrack is Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, another frequent collaborator of Anderson (The Fantastic Mr. Fox and The French Dispatch). In addition to performing some original songs for this film, Cocker also has a small role in the film too.

I got the soundtrack for review before I saw the movie and listened to it on its own. Then I saw the movie (which I included in my Best of 2023 So Far) and listened again. So I had the experience of listening without the context of the film and how the music played, then having that context. The soundtrack is definitely a thorough compilation of that genre and time period, but I have to say I actually liked Desplat’s score the most. On prior soundtracks like Rushmore you get a combination of score and songs, in other situations there’s been a score album and a song compilation album. Here they combined it all, but I liked the score most. Cocker’s songs are good too, albeit nothing like the Britpop he’s known for. It’s hard to live up to the existing classic soundtracks Wes Anderson has done, but I appreciate that he was going for something different here.

Deaf Charlie Catastrophic Metamorphic 

One of the cool things I’ve gotten to do here is cover Pearl Jam, both collectively and individually. I have gotten to cover their live performances (read my review of their 2017 concert documentary and live album Let’s Play Two and their 2018 Fenway Park concert review) as well as their excellent 2020 album Gigaton (read my review here). But individually each member has been doing some cool extra-curricular activities in recent years, i.e. Eddie Vedder’s solo albums including last year’s excellent album Earthling (read my review here), Mike McCready’s soundtrack work and his photography (read my book review of his book Of Potato Heads and Polaroids), Stone Gossard’s label Loosegroove Records (who reissued The Living’s album 1982) or Matt Cameron’s solo album Cavedweller (read my review here). Which brings us to PJ bassist and co-founder Jeff Ament. In addition to his solo work including his 2021 album I Should Be Outside (read my review here), he has a new side project Deaf Charlie along with drummer John Wicks, formerly of Fitz and the Tantrums. After releasing a single in 2020, their first album Catastrophic Metamorphic is being released this week. 

album cover

At the age of 60, Ament is already a Seattle music legend. In the mid-80s he and Gossard cut their teeth in Green River (read my review of their Rehab Doll and Dry as a Bone reissues) and then they co-founded Mother Love Bone (read my review of the box set On Earth As It Is - The Complete Works) and after the death of MLB singer Andrew Wood, Ament took part in Temple of the Dog (their 1991 album is one of my all time favorites). So you need to leave all of that at the door and listen to this album on its own and not compare to the legendary works he’s done in the past. Deaf Charlie is very unique, a low-fi burst of energy that teeters on new wave 80s and indie rock. It’s like you’re listening in on two musicians messing around in their home studio, albeit an incredible home recording, and the result is catchy and infectious. As we await a new PJ album (reportedly due in 2024), it’s very cool to see Ament flexing his musical muscle in different ways. Check it out!

Today we remember the passing of Andrew Wood who died March 19, 1990 in Seattle, Washington

Andrew Patrick Wood (January 8, 1966 – March 19, 1990) was an American musician. He was the lead singer and lyricist for the alternative rock bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. Wood formed Malfunkshun in 1980 with his older brother Kevin Wood on guitar and Regan Hagar on drums. The band used alter ego personas onstage, with Wood using the name Landrew the Love Child. Though the band only had two songs released, "With Yo' Heart (Not Yo' Hands)" and "Stars-n-You", on the Deep Six compilation album, they are often cited as being among the "founding fathers" of the Seattle grunge movement. During his time in Malfunkshun, Wood started relying heavily on drugs, entering rehab in 1985.

By 1988, Malfunkshun had disbanded and Wood began jamming with Green River members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament. They soon began writing original material and formed Mother Love Bone the same year, adding guitarist Bruce Fairweather (also a former member of Green River) and drummer Greg Gilmore to the lineup. The following year, the band signed a deal with PolyGram, issuing a six-song EP, Shine, before going on tour, supporting The Dogs D'Amour. Towards the end of the year, the band recorded their debut album, Apple, which was scheduled for release in 1990.

Due to his struggle with drug addiction, Wood checked himself into rehab in 1989, hoping to get clean for the release of Mother Love Bone's debut album. He died in Seattle on March 19, 1990 at the age of 24, after being found in a comatose state by his girlfriend following a heroin overdose.

Wood was born in Columbus, Mississippi, to David C. Wood and Toni Wood, and raised on Bainbridge Island, Washington. He was the youngest of three children; he had two older brothers, Kevin and Brian. Wood and his brothers were exposed to various types of music by their parents, who also supported their children when they were learning how to play instruments. Wood became a fan of acts such as Elton John, Queen, Aerosmith, and Kiss.

In 1980, at the age of 14, Wood formed Malfunkshun with his brother Kevin, recording their first demo tape in April 1980. Drummer Regan Hagar joined soon after with the band, playing shows in Seattle, Washington. Each member adopted onstage alter egos, with Andrew becoming Landrew the Love Child, Kevin becoming Kevinstein, and Hagar becoming Thundarr. Unlike most grunge groups in Seattle, Malfunkshun were influenced by glam rock with Wood described as "a hippie, glammed-out rock & roll god, equal parts Marc Bolan and Jim Morrison," with his look and vocal style influenced by frontmen such as Freddie Mercury, Paul Stanley, and Marc Bolan. Wood developed a drug habit at a young age, having smoked marijuana and cigarettes at the age of around 11 or 12. By 1985, he had started to rely heavily on drugs to help with his "rock star" persona, and entered rehab the same year.

Malfunkshun recorded a number of demos in 1986, two of which, "With Yo' Heart (Not Yo' Hands)" and "Stars-n-You," were included on the "legendary"  Deep Six compilation album released by C/Z Records the same year. The band continued to play shows in Seattle, opening for Soundgarden, The U-Men, and Skin Yard. However, in 1988, Malfunkshun disbanded.

Although the band never released an album and were also turned down by Sub Pop for "not being grunge enough," Malfunkshun, along with Green River, are often cited as "founding fathers" of the Seattle's grunge movement.

Wood and Hagar began playing with Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament of Green River, which disbanded in 1988, performing, on occasion, as the cover band Lords of the Wasteland. Former Green River guitarist Bruce Fairweather was added to the lineup, while former 10 Minute Warning and Skin Yard drummer Greg Gilmore replaced Hagar, forming Mother Love Bone the same year.

The band soon signed a deal with PolyGram, and, through their own subsidiary label Stardog, issued a six-song EP, Shine, in 1989. John Book, of Allmusic, stated that the EP "contributed to the buzz about the Seattle music scene." The band spent the rest of the year touring, including shows supporting The Dogs D'Amour, and recording their debut album. With high expectations of the album, Wood checked himself into rehab due to his struggle with heroin addiction, hoping to get clean for the release of album, staying there for the remainder of the year.

In 1990, the band continued to play shows in Seattle, waiting for the release of their album, Apple. Wood died only weeks before the release of the record. Some rock critics consider them to be one of the greatest bands of the Grunge era

On March 16, 1990, Wood was found in a comatose state by his girlfriend, having overdosed on heroin. Wood was taken to Harborview Hospital and placed on life support. On March 19, physicians suggested that Wood be removed from life support and he was pronounced dead at 3:15 pm that day. The official cause of death recorded on Wood's death certificate is hypoxic encephalopathy. Wood's remains were cremated. His burial site is located at Miller-Woodlawn Memorial Park in Bremerton, Washington.

Apple was released posthumously later in the year, receiving positive reviews. David Browne of The New York Times wrote that "Apple may be one of the first great hard-rock records of the 90s" and that "Andrew Wood could have been the first of the big-league Seattle rock stars."

Shortly following Wood's death, former roommate and friend Chris Cornell of Soundgarden wrote two songs, "Reach Down" and "Say Hello 2 Heaven", as a tribute. Cornell approached Gossard and Ament about releasing the songs as singles before collaborating on an album. Adding drummer Matt Cameron, future Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready, and future Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder, they formed Temple of the Dog in 1990 to pay tribute to Wood, releasing one self-titled album in 1991.

In 1992, PolyGram reissued both Shine and Apple as the compilation album Mother Love Bone, while the song "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" was included on the soundtrack to the film Singles. The same year, Los Angeles band Faster Pussycat wrote the song "Mr. Lovedog", from the album Whipped!, in tribute to Wood. Bradley Torreano of Allmusic stated that the song "offered a sad elegy to another charismatic figure in the metal world."

Seattle rock band War Babies, which briefly featured Mother Love Bone's Jeff Ament on bass, dedicated the song "Blue Tomorrow" off their eponymous 1992 debut album to Wood. In 1993, Seattle post-grunge band Candlebox released their self-titled debut featuring the single "Far Behind", which was written in Wood's memory.

Wood's former bandmate Stone Gossard compiled Malfunkshun recordings from 1986 to 1987 and released the studio album Return to Olympus through his Loosegroove Records label in 1995. In 2005, director Scot Barbour completed production on the documentary Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story. The film documents Wood's music career as well as his family background. The film premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival. In October of the same year, the film was screened at the FAIF Film Festival in Hollywood, California. The film was released in 2011 on DVD as part of a 2CD+DVD set entitled "Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story" including the Return to Olympus album, a bonus CD including many interviews and demos, and the movie on the DVD disc.

In 2011, the album Melodies & Dreams was released. It featured unreleased songs and demos that Wood recorded throughout his life, including a song that he recorded with Chris Cornell, "Island of Summer", which is the only existing recording with the two of them singing together. Wood is featured in the 2011 documentary Pearl Jam Twenty, about the story of Pearl Jam. Friends including Chris Cornell, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard talk about him in the film and home-made footage featuring Wood is shown.
