Wow, Zoops, Psychic TV!!!

One of the GOAT Concerts (and I have seen literally hundreds, with stubs to prove it).
Saw PTV in 89 and the re-formed Throbbing Gristle at Coachella in 2009. (Also saw Chris & Cosey in the 80s).

Thought of all those RE|Search photos w/ them out in the desert when I went out to Barker Ranch, where Manson was caught under the vanity in the john. (The ranch house itself burned down in 2009.) For awhile one of my photos of the entrance to the ranch was my avatar on the phile.

I was really bummed out when PTV & TG co-founder Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson (probably as famous for his work with Hipgnosis design and Coil) died in his sleep about a year later at 55. Christopherson was one of the earliest innovators of sampling.

From his Wiki:

Quote

Writing for the Guardian newspaper, Dave Simpson credited Christopherson with using digital samplers on-stage before the Fairlight CMI popularised sampling. Also writing for the Guardian, Alexis Petridis described [TG co-founder Chris] Carter and Christopherson as "pioneers in technology", and noted a sampler that Carter had custom-built for Christopherson a number of years before sampling became popular. Christopherson explained Carter's construction and musical experimentation in a 1987 interview with Keyboard magazine:
It was a box that [TG synthesist] Chris Carter made for me, to my design that basically switched on and off – through inputs on tape recorders – six cassette machines, the output of each going to a different key. Many of the machines I used in TG were cassette machines that were stripped down and altered to play backward and forward and four tracks at once, the speed variable by flywheels. The very first sampling device there ever was, as far as I know, was manufactured by Mountain Hardware for Apple computers. It was designed to reproduce voice samples, and had a very limited selection of pitches. I was using that onstage in '79 or '80, which was before the first Fairlight was used commercially. So I've always had a soft spot for sampling.

Oh, and I'm listening to Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise

and, being in a melancholy mood before visiting this thread, the beautiful Nick Drake album, Pink Moon

This Deerhunter performance on Jimmy Fallon is pretty much the best thing I've ever seen on network TV. So badass.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds "The Witness Song"

I thought quite a bit of Nick Cave and the tragic loss of his son Arthur when the inquest was in the news last week.
I played album after album: he never ceases to amaze me. My heart really goes out to his family, especially having to undergo an inquest four months after the fact.

I first saw Nick Cave in 1989 (The Bad Seeds & Wolfgang Press at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago), and have always considered him one of the finest songwriters of his generation.

Seeing him perform twice at Coachella 2013 (both with the Bad Seeds and in a Grinderman "reunion") was transcendent, from start to finish.

Here's John Hillcoat's superb video for "Jubilee Street" off 2013's Push the Sky Away

"Into My Arms" is from 1997's The Boatman's Call and is the song that came to mind when I heard about Arthur Cave's tragic death at 15. Nick played this song at Michael Hutchence's funeral (after insisting that all cameras be turned off). This version of is from a live performance from 1999. It's just a fuckin heartbreaker

If you like these, there are countless great Nick Cave videos, all of his 19 albums and more on youtube.
