Saturdays 9pm-11pm PST via luxuriamusic.com • Your Weekly Exotic Party Mix from DJ's Reeshard & Lee-Roy

Pictured: Phil Manzanera.
Phil Manzanera was the only posh member of Roxy Music. His mother was Colombian and his English father worked for the airline BOAC (and earlier, his son speculated, could well have been a spy operating in Latin America). Manzanera had enjoyed a cosmopolitan youth flitting between various South American countries and his boarding school in London. During his later years at Dulwich College, he formed the psychedelic school band Pooh and the Ostrich Feathers, which evolved into the more serious proposition Quiet Sun. Influenced by Zappa, Pink Floyd and Soft Machine, the group’s music – played insanely fast at strange time signatures – earned them a reputation as ‘just about the most listener-unfriendly band in London’ (according to King Crimson’s Pete Sinfield).

Pictured: The Seeds (lead singer Sky Saxon 2nd from left).
If a Volkswagen van or VW Bug came by, you definitely had it made, as more than likely it was driven by a hippie, still cruising the Strip long after the Summer of Love. One time, I was with a couple of girls and we caught a ride from this hippie in a van. He was trying to impress the girls by playing them tapes of his own music. It sounded like a psychedelic mishmash to us. We were like “Yeah, yeah, hippie, OK.” Until a song we recognized came on, “Pushin’ Too Hard” by the Seeds. We suddenly realized we’d hitched a ride with the lead singer of the Seeds, Sky Saxon. Later, I’d find out he was playing us his first tapes as Sky Sunlight. He told us he was a dishwasher at the Source health food restaurant on Sunset Strip. Still, we were more concerned with getting to where we wanted to go: a motel party thrown by Phast Phreddie. When we told Phreddie that Sky Saxon had just dropped us off, he freaked.

I LOVE other cities—I do. Whenever I go to San Francisco or New York, I wonder what I’m doing in the land of smoggy freeways, earthquakes, fires, and floods. Still, when I get back to L.A. I’m always glad. Nowhere else is it possible to pass for cute long after the point where you’re obliged to conduct yourself like the matronly age you are. If you don’t, people will accuse you of not having good taste—of being too L.A. for words…In L.A., it’s so much easier to look healthy, because here nobody looks askance at you for running around in gym clothes. In fact, for some of us, gym clothes are all we’ll wear. In fact, there’s something fabulous about these great new running bras—you can look very sexy and like you don’t care. I used to feel I had to apologize for everyone here using their skin and Lycra as outerwear. Eventually, I realized it’s what I love about L.A.—it keeps juices coursing and interest high. If you don’t want to think about such things, you should stay home or move to Seattle…And in spite of quakes, floods, fires, and traffic, the cold showers here are never as bad as winters in other towns, where you sell your soul to survive, where wearing the right clothes, marrying the right man, and having good taste are everything. Where the worst thing you can be is “too L.A.”

The instrument now, everyone portraying it as nothing, but the instrument itself is something because it’s just like a keyboard, the same scales and notes. The only thing is that … it’s [a] blowing instrument. And music travel within the wind and no one can hold it or catch it. It’s just like the breeze—can anyone catch the breeze or touch the sun?

Pictured: The Paley Brothers.
But when Seymour Stein, the president of Sire Records…signed Brian to a solo contract, he insisted that he be allowed to appoint his own coproducer to help Brian stay organized and on-task….Stein tapped staff producer Andy Paley, a multi-instrumentalist/producer who had been a Brian fanatic since his grade school days in Boston. Later he’d formed the Paley Brothers with his brother, Jonathan, and recorded an album at Brother Studios in the mid-1970s. Ten years later Paley had become a full-time producer, working on albums for artists ranging from Patti Smith to Jerry Lee Lewis. But when Stein called to tell the Boston-based musician about his new opportunity in California, Paley didn’t hesitate. He jumped on an airplane for the coast and was soon installed in an apartment building in Burbank, from which he commuted every day to Brian’s house in Malibu to help his hero write and record a batch of new songs. “We started writing pretty much right away,” Paley recalls. “Brian’s house was right on the water, and the atmosphere was pretty cool. Except that [Wilson’s psychiatrist Eugene] Landy was checking me out, trying to use me as someone he could manipulate to help him get stuff out of the record company.”

Pictured: August Darnell a.k.a. Kid Creole.
August Darnell became a pivotal creative figure at the label after Bob Blank introduced him to [Ze label founder Michael] Zilkha. The Bronx-raised son of a French-Canadian mother and Dominican father, Darnell made his name as the co-leader of the disco-meets-swing-jazz outfit Dr. Buzzard’s Original “Savannah” Band and the producer of Machine’s late disco anthem “There but for the Grace of God Go I.” When Zilkha invited him to remix “Contort Yourself,” he jumped at the opportunity on the basis that it would expand his “horizons as an individual” to “get involved with something like that.” Zilkha hovered in the studio as Darnell obsessed over the record’s kick drum, slowed its tempo, and softened its texture while retaining its swagger and menace. “Although James White and the Blacks were meant to be a disco band,” observes the label boss, “it wasn’t until that remix that the vision was truly realized.”

“We had a lot of fun recording [Sabotage/Live] there [CBGB’s] on New Year’s Eve. It was dark and greasy. You went there to lose control. I retain affection for the place. Not for the $8 beers, but it was a centre, and everybody knew about it and gravitated towards it. At the end, Hilly [Kristal, founder and owner] wanted it moved to Vegas. That’s branding. If I was a brand, I’d move to Las Vegas.”

I arrived in Mexico City and got a ride to my district. I checked into my hotel and set up camp in a room on the second floor overlooking a small park. There was a big window in the bathroom and I noticed that the same people I was looking down upon were looking up at me. I had a late lunch, looking forward to Mexican food, but the hotel menu was dominated by Japanese fare. This confused yet strangely wedded me to my sense of place: reading Murakami in a Mexican hotel that specializes in sushi. I settled on shrimp tacos with wasabi dressing and a small shot of tequila. Afterwards I stepped out onto the street and noticed I was on Veracruz Avenue, which gave me hope that I might find good coffee. Roaming around I passed a window filled with flesh-colored plaster hands. I figured I must be where I was supposed to be, though things seemed slightly offset, like an image of Mandrake the Magician in the Sunday comics.

The next song was slow. In a controlled panic, the stag guys pushed through the crowd asking first the nice-looking girls, then anything without a dick to dance. Joey got a girl right off. Perry got shot down straight across the dance floor. The song was half over, and Perry started to sweat. He checked Joey out – Joey was dancing close but he wasn’t grinding. Eugene was dancing like he should be wearing a Trojan. A girl stood next to Perry smiling into space, her hands clasped in front of her. She had orange hair and the biggest tits Perry had ever seen. He tapped her on the arm.
“‘Scuse me.” She didn’t notice him. He felt like everybody was watching. “‘Scuse me.” She smiled dumbly. “You wanna dance?”
She put her arms around his neck and socked right in there. Yes. She was grinding. And her tits were like two fireballs pressed into his chest. He moved his leg between hers for two beats, then she moved her leg between his for two beats. Joey saw him. And Perry was in heaven. Too soon it was over. They separated.

New joint opened at 77 White Street in TriBeCa, called the Mudd Club. Situated in a narrow industrial street, with deserted alleyways. Very noir. Darkness stained with light. Inside, a whole new crop of arty kids getting high. Hard-up artists being good to their mad little sins. Second-string literary figures in their mucked-up finery. Mr. Miltown and the Cognac Cowboy burying their faces in fumes. Doing them good by doing them in. A gaggle of ugly girls in majorette boots ashamed of being unhappy. New boys at large looking for hot monkey love. A climate of narcotics. A neurosis in the air mistaken for energy. The new pissiness…Saw the Cramps play the Mudd, and [writer Victor] Bockris and I went down to the basement dressing room. They were ghoulish and sweaty, and Lux Interior made a running dive, catapulted over the back of the couch, and landed on his head on the cement floor. Knocked himself unconscious. Poison Ivy looked on uninterestedly. These guys are hard-core.
