Desperate Man Blues

Joe Bussard no es un coleccionista de discos.
No almacena objetos valiosos con enfermizo cuidado a los cuales jamás les dará el uso para el que han sido concebidos, él pasea por su sótano cometiendo herejías a ojos de un coleccionista como fumar mientras toquetea y reproduce constantemente sus viejos discos de 78rpm.
Disfruta del Blues, Jazz, Country, Folk, Gospel y diversas variantes de la música popular de los años 20 y 30 del siglo XX en EE.UU., de la que es un gran conocedor.

A sus 20 años fundó Fonotone Records que dirigió desde 1956 hasta 1970, ayudando a documentar y preservar el trabajo artístico de diferentes músicos como las primeras grabaciones del guitarrista y amigo John Fahey.

En "Desperate Man Blues" un enérgico Bussard habla sin tapujos de lo que para él es la esencia (ya perdida) de la música tradicional y muestra algunas de las miles de joyas que ocupan sus estanterias tras décadas de búsqueda puerta a puerta, preguntando por discos y consiguiendo recuperar lo que más tarde daría a conocer y que gracias a él y a otros "arqueólogos" no se perdió en el olvido.

En el siguiente video puede verse la introducción a este documental:

Esa devoción por este tipo de música unida a la forma de conseguir los discos, el ser también músico y al rechazo que le produce el Rock n' Roll me recuerda inmediatamente al padre del cómic underground, Robert Crumb. Aunque a diferencia de este último, Bussard es un hombre muy abierto y sociable además de un gran charlatán cuando se trata de su pasión por la música.

Una pasión que sigue transmitiendo a través de su programa de radio semanal "Country Classics" que puede escucharse en directo por WREK Atlanta 91.1 FM o cuyos dos últimos programas se encuentran disponibles en esa misma página.

Debería poder verse en este enlace, aunque también puede encontrarse fácilmente googleando 'Desperate Man Blues 2003'. En inglés sin subtítulos.

An exclusive sticker sheet with six mini bumper stickers will also be included in this "must own" set for Type O Negative diehards. It's an instant collector's item. This set includes the following releases: "Slow, Deep and Hard", "The Origin of the Feces", "Bloody Kisses", "October Rust", "World Coming Down", "Life Is Killing Me".

Roadrunner will release a Type O Negative vinyl box set through independent retailers on Black Friday, November 25th.

Of the box set, Type O's Johnny Kelly said, "This looks great but we're disappointed that Roadrunner couldn't get it together to do the scratch 'n' sniff cover we wanted for 'The Origin of the Feces'."

Corrupted - Garten Der Unbewusstheit

Corrupted new album "Garten Der Unbewusstheit" CD finally out August 20th.

And so, the consciousness left from the body being wounded and exhausted by the countless difficulties of life, assimilated with the spring called infinity, like healing oneself. An infinity and eternity. An eternity and symbol of death. A symbol of death and wellspring of creation. Rising from the wellspring of creation, the product will rest forever even after the ruin of the body of the creator, reprocessing in front of another new lives. But as the time passes by, our lives in reality are loosing It's imaginative fascination by the material, times, and the evil named science. Our lives are full of lies. Our suffering demented soul will completely support death. Just because of the strong love for "life". CORRUPTED should be the the rare existence as the band nowadays struggling to expose the lies of life. Their 4th album is entitled "Garten Der Unbewusstheit", which means "garden of unconsciousness". This is the final album by "original" CORRUPTED featuring 3 tracks, total 63 minutes. But ”garden of unconsciousness” should have existed from the early hardcore approaching days of CORRUPTED. The reason is not clear, but definitely what was going on was not progression, nor development but seeking and recurrence. So the fact is that the beat on this album is most calm, gentle, and transparent than ever. And this paradoxical evolution form is nothing but the result of huge studio works, mixing thousands of feedbacks and guitar overtones like constructing the three dimensional architecture. The remarkable point of this 3 track hour of suit is that this album totally transcends our usual sense of time. Like feeling a minute & a second like infinity, and feeling 60 minutes & 360 seconds like moment...... this transcending sense can be described as the sense of liberation from material and life through music. So first of all, let's experience this album and expose the lies of our "given life". At last, as many may already know, the vocalist Hevi and guitarist Talbot left the group after recording of this album and 17 years of activities since 1994. Now CORRUPTED has a new singer Taiki (ex- FREEDOM, DIABOLIC ART) stepping forward to another unknown level. Like inviting us to another garden of unconsciousness...
