Free Music Review: In a darkened room
Hit: 5 Stars
The first thing you want to do two days after some kind of impromptu day off two days ago is take another day off officially and maybe even the next day too and this last day off should be close enough to Friday so you can take a train in to Manhattan during the early morning and wander up and out of Penn Station on what is let's face it a three-day weekend, woo hoo! To just walk then anywise when the sun seems just about at the same height as some of these massy bleeding buildings is a rare enough bliss I suppose. Begob though these early streets of New York City, lovely to float down, or across, sometimes indoors even over, all the while smoking a stogie like I owned the whole farking joint. Somehow I ended up in front of Jack Dempsey's speakeasy down there on 33rd, I remember remembering a picture once of a pugulist in a suit as I stood there and loitered with intent. Oddly enough the dang Dempsey shack turns out to've been here for only about ten years now according to Justine, the alarmingly buxom barkeep, who initially trun me out of the hooch hut coz it was too early when I came knocking the first time until some few minutes later and further on downtown a kind of New York voodoo commenced to transpire such that I met this Irish felly on the corner of Fifth and 28th and this lad not only works as a plummer/consultant (his words) in Jack Dempsey's dang dive from which I myself had just been eighty-sixed but also this bloke Enda with the Irish accent whips out his cell phone and calls up Justine who the second time I showed up ushered me in with a grinny grin grin and even turned on one of the ginormous flat screen tellies they have all over this gaff and on which was just about to start France versus South Africa in the World Cup footy and me hoping the host nation would bleeding obliterate the cheating cheese-eating frogmen. As it happens sometimes in circumstances such as these an actual French couple then came in to see the match on the telly too. Bon chance, mes amis, I said in my halting French. Zoot alors I added, just a matter of mere moments later. France, eh? Sacre Bleu! Not exactament this time though. Eliminated from the group stage. Incroyable! Je suis desole I said out loud but secretly I celebrated coz France stole their place in South Africa off Ireland thanks in no small part to highly illegal ball handling in the box by that well-shaved bald git, Thierry Henry. Sigh. The bargirl turned out to be Polish of all things but she knew Enda, the Mick with the walkie-talkie, well. Tell him many thanks I told her, for the phone call I mean, and she said okily dokily just like Ned Flanders! When the match was over Justine turned off the telly and fired up the jukebox--L.A. Woman suddenly everyhwere, a song I enjoyed hearing again after countless years of successfully sidelining anything by this group. Went in fact forthwith into a blinking shop and bought the album that very day so I did. The funny peculiar thing about The Doors is I was fourteen maybe fifteen and one time at this party we were all having in some vacated house The End came on and this mad fat dude I used to know went completely berserk and smashed up into smithereens an acoustic guitar he had found in the kitchen. Later, in Greece, this same feller single-handedly burst asunder an entire taverna by swinging from a pivotal wooden crossbeam with utter implosion plus sprays of ouzo and boozo the inevitable outcome of his monkey shines. Back to The End though: nearly everyone I knew in hairy little Eire knew this mesmerising song from that batty war flick with Frederic Forrest as the boat's cook but it's been one of the great pleasures of my life to have gotten me lugs fully round this tremendous eleven-minute epic well afore Coppola's sprawling film rendered it a tad cartoonical. Then inexplicably I more or less closed Las Puertas for a couple of decades. These fellers just kind of disappeared into the background or something and failed for donkey's years to make any dent in my regular rotation. I don't quite know how this type of oversight happens exactly but there you go. I did however stash the memory of LA Woman somewhere far in the back on my mind but that apparently was that as far as Jimbo and company were concerned. As I said many years proceeded then to elapse. Then late last night, when I least expected it, just before turning in after a particularly satisfying Saturday out and about among the local yokels I rather fancied I wanted to hear prior to final lights out some kind of grand finale to my honest day's labour so I put on track four of LA Woman, Cars Hiss By My Window, really loud so that the hut itself in which I live began to shake its hips et cetera, and needless to say I discovered all over again why I never should have doubted these cats from the West Coast for all those years. This here song and that other one about The Moon of Alabama--on their first album I think, that bagonghi jingle by Bertie Brecht about the next whiskey bar--are two of the finer numbers this baseless band done rolled our way. One could easily imagine that in the year say 2666, literally hundreds of years from now, folks still won't entirely have forgotten how to really dig this sort of sonic boom.
L.A. Woman Poster
1971's L.A. WOMAN, released shortly before Morrison's death in Paris, went to #9 and delivered the signature songs "Love Her Madly," "Riders On The Storm," and the title track. In-depth liner notes by Ben Fong-Torres. Two bonus tracks including "Orange County Suite" and "(You Don't Need Meat) Don't Go No Further."The last official Doors studio album, L.A. Woman was still high on the charts when, like the "actor out on loan" of its closing track, "Riders on the Storm," Jim Morrison died in a Paris bathtub in the summer of 1971. Via such tracks as "The Changeling," "Crawling King Snake," and the frothy, rollicking title track, the collection leaned heavily toward the blues--in particular, Morrison's boastful "Lizard King" brand of it. It also holds another entry in the band's ever-adventurous tone poems in the ever-underrated mythical tale of American music and culture, "WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)." --Billy Altman
