Darryl W. Bullock 1964-2024

Es ist traurig, wenn ein Blog plötzlich verschwindet und du entdeckst, dass sein Autor schon seit 5 Monaten unter der Erde liegt. Darryl W. Bullock starb unerwartet einen Tag vor Weihnachten. Er war u.a. seit 2007 Betreiber des "The World's Worst Records - an arcade of audio atrocities"-Blogs, der uns regelmäßig mit Geschichten über mehr oder minder talentierte Musiker*innen und deren musikalischen Verbrechen unterhielt. Daraus entstanden auch einige Bücher, u.a. über Florence Foster Jenkins und die wohl ähnlich "talentierten" Cherry Sisters, von denen es leider keine Tonaufnahmen gibt. Sein eigentliches Thema aber war LGBT und Musik. 2017 erschien "David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music" (dazu 2 Beiträge aus dem Archiv vom Deutschandfunk: 100-jahre-queere-musik-david-bowie-hat-mich-schwul-gemacht und darryl-w-bullock-ueber-queere-popmusik-lgbt-musiker-brechen), das es leider nicht auf deutsch gibt, aber auf spanisch und italienisch. Weitere Veröffentlichungen waren 2021 "The Velvet Mafia: The Gay Men Who Ran The Swinging Sixties" , "Pride, Pop and Politics: Music, Theatre and LGBT Activism, 1970-2022" und 2023 "Queer Blues: The Hidden Figures of Early Blues Music". Posthum ist nun "Love and Fury: The Extraordinary Life, Death and Legacy of Joe Meek" erschienen.

"I've met an awful lot of people in my seventy one years of life, some pleasant, some not so. Of all the pleasant ones, a few names stand out, in fact, head and shoulders, even above the others. Darryl was one of the few of the few, on that shortlist. The cream of the crop.
Make no mistake, this very talented writer and all round 'good egg', shone out. I always felt brightened after I'd spoken with him. I felt lightened and levitated. This is a priceless ability that few have, and Darryl had it in buckets full. Whatever the subject, his take would usually be the right one. The calming one. The opinion with levity. The ray of bright that was needed.
Oh, I'm going to miss you sunshine." (Message from Andy Partridge read out at the funeral)

Raincoats and Song-Poems

"Kissi" asked me to re-upload the B-Sides from The Raincoats from this posting and here they are:

• The Raincoats
  "Fairytale In The Supermarket" // "In Love" / "Adventures Close To Home"
  7", Rough Trade 1979 (download)


• "I Keep Walking", B-Seite der Single "Don't Be Mean", Rough Trade 1995 (download)

And here are some links to the regular albums from The Raincoats: The Raincoats, Odyshape and Moving one. I could not find a link to their reunion album and also not to the live cassette released on ROIR, but maybe this link will help you.


"ajm" asked me to re-upload the eighth batch of the lost www.aspma.com archive. I don't know why (s)he asked only for this one because most download-links for the song-poem postings are gone - maybe (s)he was looking for a certain song? Anyway I uploaded ALL of the files for your pleasure :-)

And if you don't know what a "song-poem" is, here is a link to the legendary first song-poem compilation "Beat of the traps" and here is another link to compilations No.4-6. And finally here is a link to a probably complete discography of all song-poem reissues (german language only).

PS: if you know where to find any other song-poems please let me know :-)

Übersetzung: Das Angebot, im Austausch an gesuchte Musikdateien Teile aus meinem eigenen Archiv anzubieten. scheint nicht recht anzukommen. Also trete ich die Sache in die Tonne - oben ist meine ganze Wunschliste. Meine eigene Sammlung folgt gleich nach diesem Posting. Verschluckt euch nicht! Und als Sahnehäubchen eine zum Titel passende 3-Spur-Aufnahme von der virtuellen Kapelle Graceland Takeaway, ca. 15 bis 20 Jahre alt, textlich bei den Comsat Angels abgekupfert und musikalisch irgendwo zwischen Hüsker Dü und Dinosaur Jr. Auf der gleichen Cassette gibt es noch eine Version von "All Along The Watchtower" wie sie die Stranglers hätten machen können.

43 Song Poems

Do I have to explain what a song poem is? Here is a short explanation and here a longer one.
As you might notice the website http://www.songpoemmusic.com wasn't updated since February 2004 and the link to the mp3 files is dead. Originally the domain was www.aspma.com, but then probably some bigger company claimed the name of the domain so there were no updates for more than a year and then the content moved to songpoemmusic.com but without the mp3 files and no updates since 3 years.
Luckily I had discovered song poems some years earlier, so I can offer you the original mp3 content of www.aspma.com, some 250 mp3s, plus some extras. So here is the first batch including the following tracks:

Lee Scott: Strange Cold Feeling (Thomas J. Bardi)

Übersetzung: Soweit ich weiß gibt es für "song poem" (Lied-Gedicht) keine deutsche Entsprechung. Es ist eine Nepper-Schlepper-Bauernfänger-Industrie, in der ahnungslosen Amateurdichtern versprochen wird, ihre Gedichte gegen Gebühr zu Popsongs zu vertonen und das Ergebnis zu promoten, damit es ein Hit wird - was aber nie geschieht (die Promotion, der Hit sowieso nicht). Die Musik ist dabei den Firmen egal - Hauptsache ist, dass das Geld fließt - was zu viel langweiligem Schund, aber auch bizarren Perlen führt, entweder bizarre Texte oder bizarre Musik, insbesondere wenn die Musik von Rodd Keith stammt. Hier und hier gibt es eine kleine Biografie über Rodd Keith und posthume Veröffentlichungen seiner Musik.
Viele mp3s von Song-Poems gab es auf der Webseite www.aspma.com, die jedoch seit Februar 2004 tot ist und deren Reste unter www.songpoemmusic.com zu finden sind. Daher hier der erste Teil des Musikarchivs des "American Song Poem Music Archive".

On the other hand I'm also looking for some mp3s that were once available through various websites but are gone now. Maybe you have them or know where to get them. So the deal is: if you offer me some of these files I post the next batch of song poem music. (download)
And here is my wish list:
(...)
Die nächste Folge kommt übrigens dann, wenn mir im Gegenzug jemand eine oder mehrere der oben aufgelisteten Musikdateien anbietet. Ist doch ein faires Angebot, oder?
