Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique (Free Version) (Unabridged) The initial success of the Beastie Boys at Def Jam with the rude, crude, and multiplatinum 1986 debut Licensed to Ill had been unlikely enough; a trio of white Jewish kids and their white Jewish producer became hip-hop's biggest stars overnight by offering a primal fusion of metal, rap, and teenage rebellion. But Paul's Boutique abandoned the producer, the label, and the formula, instead smashing apart hundreds of old records and pop-culture references, then Scotch-taping them back together in unexpected new combinations. With a trio of unknowns at the production controls, it was a suicidal way to follow up a number-one hit. Not only did Paul's Boutique transform the Beastie Boys from frat-boy novelty to hip-hop giants, its groundbreaking collage of rhyme and recycled soundbites made it one of those rare releases that forever alters the course of popular music. Through interviews with Mike D, the Dust Brothers, and legendarily reclusive producer Matt Dike, among others, Dan LeRoy uncovers the story of this outrageous era in Beastie history. Dan LeRoy writes regularly about music and politics for The New York Times, Rolling Stone, National Review online, Alternative Press, and Vibe, and he is the co-author of 20 Years of Mountain Stage (2003), a history of NPR's musical variety show. His book The Greatest Music Never Sold was published in 2006 by Backbeat. 33 1/3 is a new series of short books about critically acclaimed and much-loved albums of the last 40 years. Focusing on one album rather than an artist's entire output, the books dispense with the standard biographical background that fans know already, and cut to the heart of the music on each album.

Turn The Organ Up!

Al Kooper talks about the recording of Bob Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone Kooper's most notable playing with Dylan is the striking organ parts on "Like a Rolling Stone". Kooper had been invited to the session as an observer, and hoped to be allowed to sit in on guitar, his primary instrument. After hearing a guitar player who turned out to be Mike Bloomfield warming up, and recognizing that Bloomfield was a much better player, Kooper put his guitar aside and went to the control room. During the recording of Like a Rolling Stone, Paul Griffin moved from organ to piano. Kooper told producer Tom Wilson that he had a good organ part for the song (which he later noted that it was just a ruse to get into the session), and Wilson responded "You're not an organ player, you're a guitar player", but Kooper insisted that he play. Before Wilson could explicitly reject Kooper, he got a phone call. Kooper went and sat down at the organ, though he had rarely played organ before the session. Wilson soon returned, surprised to find Kooper in the studio. You can hear the organ coming in just behind the other members of the band at many places in the song, to make sure he was getting the chords right. During recording, Dylan famously said, "Turn the organ up," and a classic rock organ part was born. The organ was the soon to be iconic Hammond B3, and Kooper later revealed that because it is a somewhat complicated instrument to turn on (hold one switch for a count, then flip the other switch)-- had it not already been done by someone else at the studio -- he probably wouldn't have figured it out on his own, and would never have manuevered his way in to the role as organist on these sessions. text via youtube.

Everlasting Eames

A Prefab House That Dazzles Still By ALICE RAWSTHORN NY Times Published: June 14, 2009 It took just one-and-a-half days for eight workers to build the frame from 11› tons of steel. The walls were made from prefabricated panels, and the windows were of a type usually used in factories. The staircase was ordered from a marine supplies catalog. The cost? Just $1 per square foot. That was back in 1949, and the bill didn’t include the labor of the owners, who’d designed the house, or their employees. Even so, $1 was remarkably cheap, especially when compared with the $11.50 it then cost to build a square foot — that’s roughly a tenth of a square meter — of a typical American home. It seems even cheaper if you consider that the end result was occupied by its owner-designers, Charles and Ray Eames, for nearly 40 years. The Eameses went on to become America’s most famous industrial designers, and their new home was to be one of the most influential — and beloved — houses of the 20th century. The Eames House in Pacific Palisades, California, is to celebrate its 60th birthday next weekend with a picnic on the grounds, once a meadow owned by the Western movie star Will Rogers. The ingenuity of the prefabricated structure dazzled architects and designers at the time, and still does today. The Eameses also created an exceptionally beautiful place to live and work, where the tumbleweed they found on their honeymoon drive from Chicago to Los Angeles hangs beside a Robert Motherwell painting, and the shadows of the surrounding eucalyptus trees dance across the factory windows. Preserved by the Eames Foundation as a National Historic Landmark, the Eames House is still beguiling. I have yet to meet anyone who has been there and hasn’t fallen in love with it. The simplest explanation is that the house was the Eameses’ most personal project, and the purest expression of their design sensibility. “Nowhere is their enthusiasm, curiosity and love for design better represented,” said Paola Antonelli, senior curator of design and architecture at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The couple met in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, where Charles was a teacher, and Ray a student. They married the following year, and settled in Los Angeles. From a makeshift studio in their apartment, they produced their first commercial success, a plywood leg splint for the U.S. Army, using materials that Charles had smuggled home from his day job building movie sets for MGM. They went on to design furniture that, as The Washington Post once put it, changed the way “the 20th century sat down.” That’s no mean feat, but there was more to the Eameses. So far they have been best known for their furniture, but other aspects of their work are compelling, too. If you asked a scientist to cite a favorite example of the Eameses’ work, the answer might well be one of the short films in which they sought to demystify science and math, not a chair. Films like “Powers of Ten” — which takes the viewer on a journey from a human hand through the universe and back to earth again, ending with a carbon atom — were once praised for popularizing science and are now hailed as inspirations for the newly developed visual language known as Visualization. Their zest for science complemented the Eameses’ passion for technology, which is reflected in the house’s innovative structure. Yet they also imbued their work with sensuality. The gentle curves and vibrant colors give their designs a warmth that feels very contemporary. The same applies to their interests. Some, like their fascination with folklore, appeared eccentric at the time but seem less so now, as does the eclecticism of a couple as intrigued by physics and prefabrication as by Mexican craftsmanship. All of this is visible in the house, which is filled with thoughtful arrangements of the pebbles, buttons, pencils, toys, masks, kites and other knickknacks they collected over the years, as well as furniture and artworks made by them and their friends. Equally prescient was the Eameses’ love of nature. When they started work on the house in the mid-1940s as part of the Case Study House Program to build model modern homes in California, they envisaged it as two separate buildings: a house with ocean views across the meadow and a studio set into the hillside. The longer they spent at the site, the more they loved it. Abandoning the original design, the couple devised a plan to preserve the area’s natural beauty by excavating a lot for both buildings between the trees and hill. They were even early recyclers, and rarely threw anything away. One of their cars, a Ford, lasted them 18 years, and in the four decades they lived in their house, they replaced only one appliance, a refrigerator. The Eameses’ way of working was influential, too. “Their practice of operating in multiple arenas — architecture, design, film and exhibitions — has become the template for today’s avant-garde designers, who are intentionally blurring the boundaries between the disciplines,” observed Joseph Rosa, chair of architecture and design at the Art Institute of Chicago. Similarly Ray blazed a trail as one of the few prominent women designers of the day, although her contribution was often underestimated. A British design organization once presented a medal to Charles and a rose to her, but he always insisted on crediting her equally. When they appeared on NBC’s “Today” show in 1956, Ray was welcomed on set with: “This is Mrs. Eames and she is going to tell us how she helps Charles design his chairs.” He cringed, while she smiled gamely. (See it for yourself on YouTube.) “Their house has become a beacon for the American way of poetic pragmatism,” said Ms. Antonelli. “Chez Eames, art is not intimidating, great design really is for everybody, and high taste means being able to enjoy the occasional tchotchke in a modernist masterpiece.” That’s why we love it. via south willard
