I want to give out a link to Vaspers the Grate for free downloads of his Camouflage Danse: "Inside Sessions" (1987). Incredibly, it's all improvised...lyrics and all! I'd say if you like experimental music with "Hawaiian wah-wah guitar feedback, acoustic guitars, and Leonard Cohen-esque lyrics" which Vaspers describes as an "electronic psychedelic industrial space rock jam band" then this is the ticket for you. It certainly is for me. I've been getting into classic krautrock, space rock, weird shit, avante garde and this fits right in there.
The image is a Camouflage Danse poster from Vaspers' site. Very nice...
Give it a listen!!

Thank you, dear and kind friend. Everyone loves the "Inside" session, as long as their ear hungers for rarefied, refined air.
Bennett said we make a series of sounds and send it out to the audience and what doesn't bounce back to us is the song.
Hey, my man, I just posted YouTubes of Captain Beefheart "I'm gonna Booglarize You"), Phil Ochs ("I Aint Marchin Anymore" best USA anti-war song ever, better than any Seeger or Dylan even), and Siouxsie and the Banshees ("Israel")...
...at Vaspers the GRate blog.
Oh my pleasure. I loved it! I admire artists who push boundaries.
I love the opportunity to share music I enjoy with others. That's the main purpose of the blog. Well...that and catharsis through creativity!
YouTube is great...All those clips are amazing. I have the Captain's video on a great collection of videos called "Rockin' in the USA"...It never hurts to watch the Captain again though. The Phil Ochs and Siouxsie (especially) were also great. I've never quite got into Siouxsie but that video's making me do a rethink. Thanks!
"Music is the best" - take care
Bennett visited your site and was happy to see the promo. He emailed me today.
I'm so glad...I'm happy to help promote it. It's great! Makes me think of Red Krayola, Silver Apples...
Thanks. I had an email conversation going with an ex-wife or financee of Dan Taylor (of SILVER APPLES), a few years ago.
He and Simeon got in a car accident, and Dan, drummer, injured so he could not play drums for a while.
At a bar, some 20 yr old hippie guy somehow brought up SILVER APPLES, and he said Dan Taylor was the best drummer in rock music.
I put up 6 more Camouflage Danse mp3s.
Email me your land address again. I can't seem to find it. I'll mail you my CompuMusik CDs.
I'll send you an email pronto. I love Camouflage Danse! I'd love to hear your CompuMusik cds.
I should be able to mail you about 5 or 6 CDs of my stuff, plus maybe some weird shit I think you'll dig by other strange characters.
You may like Bromp Treb, Gordon Mumma, Morton Subotnick, Pierre Henry, Stars in Coma, The Floating City, The August in December, Klaz, The Popeye Experience, Vulgar Boatmen, the New Faggot C*nts, The Fairsley Difference, Pee-Bug, Latent Chaos, Mutant Data Orchestra, Guest, Deerhoof, Communist Bakesale, Eddie the Rat, The Uberkids, Her Highness, Woven Hand, Soul-Junk, Lungbutter, Starlight Mints, Chocolate USA, The Weakerthans, Mono Puff, The Illiterati, Switchblade Kittens, 14 Year Old Girls, VCR, Cat Power, Paper Airplane Pilots...etc.
Wow!!!
Double WOW!
I've heard of only a few of these. I know that some of these bands are available from a legal free download site: Puzzling Music Archive. Which I will put another link to in my next post (hopefully today..definitely tomorrow).
Here are the bands I've heard or have: Bromp Treb, Piere Henry, New Faggot C*nts (have some), Deerhoof (awesome! have a bit), Eddie the Rat (only recently heard of), Starlight Mints, The Weakerthans, Switchblade Kittens (cool name...in fact, a lot of cool names in your list!) and Cat Power.
That leaves a hell of a lot of new bands to explore! You're great Vaspers!
If I pull out the CDs I've burned over the past few months, from LEGAL downloads (I have never and never will download illegally, the illegal downloads are lame shit by normal, boring bands).
I basically listen to nothing that must be PAID FOR.
If you have to buy it, I don't even want to hear it. I pretty much listen only to FREE music. There's so much of it. The only exceptions are Pavement , Stereolab, a tiny handful of others, Dylan, Incredible String Band, Chrome, Atari Teenage Riot.
I'm not innocent when it comes to illegal downloads (hey...if that's the only place I can get "Lick My Decals Off Baby" and "Starsailor", so be it..not to mention all the great krautrock that costs a small fortune to purchase otherwise)...
BUT, I'd much rather support the bands and musicians making their music available freely, legally and independently. I'm discovering more all the time: it's starting to make illegal downloads more obsolete and unnecessary all the time.
The "Live Music Archive" seems to be getting all my download business lately!
Actually...it's file sharing not illegal downloading I've been involved in. Let the lawyers fight it out!
I wish there was a system in place where the artists get rewarded for their work and NOT a bunch of lawyers, executives and accountants. That's the way it IS at the big labels and don't let their propaganda about ripping off the artists fool ya...the artists are such a small part of it all...pretty much insignificant nowadays.
Support the independents!!!
