Airs - Apart 12" EP

love this band; this is the first time they've been able to release something on vinyl (recorded for vinyl on top of that), despite being a band for like the last 6(?) years and releasing a ton of music.

so anyway when i got the air formation 12" i messaged the lead singer to talk about their past 7" releases and he said he had a bunch in storage or just laying around, so i grabbed some 7"s from him, including the lone 7" from his pre-AF band called b.e.a.b. approved. i'm mostly excited about that because i've been searching for this 7" since i fell in love with them almost ten years ago. never released digitally but now i can at least hear it.

93millionmilesfromthesun - Towards the Light

Around late November last year, I ordered this modern shoegaze classick from the band's personal bandcamp. After a month or so I asked what was up and they (supposedly) sent another. That never showed and I eventually got a PayPal reimbursement. Recently I took another chance w the UK post (this time a seller on discogs) and it got here fine.

Secret Shine - Untouched & Difference Engine - Breadmaker

These are two albums I got into when I rediscovered my love of shoegaze in 2006 when I got the internet on my computer and reinstalled Slsk. I went on a gaze-binge! St Marie are doing yearly reissues of oop albums or albums that haven't ever had a vinyl release. Anyway i preordered these back in like April and they finally showed up.

JEFF the Brotherhood - Global Chakra Rhythms

I had preordered this before ever hearing a note because I love everything they've done previously. The 2xLP came with a bag of tea, incense sticks, and a candle. It felt good to listen to this like my parents would have - buy it, unwrap, and just sit and listen to it in one sitting. I guess I'm so used to having heard an album digitally for so long and then getting the record that it's still novel for the first listen to be on the medium intended. "Radiating Fiber Plane" is my jaaaaam right now.

Jesse Chandler was surrounded by chrome and leather, chains and exhaust on the night of June 13, 2010 when he was shot to death in front of 200 witnesses. Many of the witnesses were members of a notorious biker gang known as the Bad to the Bone Motorcycle Club. Unfortunately for Jesse Chandler, his blood was pooling in the parking lot of their meeting place and underground bar, a dilapidated house at 2400 W. 3rd St. in Dayton, Ohio, where street racing and noise complaints were common. Detectives have received numerous anonymous calls identifying the killer but none of the witnesses are willing to come forward and identify themselves. No arrests were made.

Three months later, the Dayton SWAT team raided the house on complaints of drug and illegal liquor sales. They found the house in a state of disrepair, split into four apartment units with no functioning bathroom, kitchen, or fire alarm between them. The house is now condemned and Bad to the Bone members were ordered to stay away from the property until repairs and further inspections could bring it up to code.

It was also in this house, amidst biker gang ephemera, that the master tapes of long-lost Dayton psychedelic soul band Stone Coal White were discovered by Dante Carfagna in 2004. While Bad to the Bone has existed in Dayton and used the address as their personal clubhouse for decades, it was also the regular hangout of Stone Coal White in 1970s. The connection is this: The house was once owned by Melvin Payne, a Bad to the Bone member who also happened to play bass in Stone Coal White.

The band was one of the true underground acts of the well-stocked Dayton soul scene. While the Ohio Players were off in Akron and Detroit making their name and records, Stone Coal White was in Dayton playing for the people at clubs like the Astro House on Salem Avenue and the Twenty Grand on Germantown Pike. While It’s unclear if any of the other members of the band were also in the gang besides Payne, Stone Coal White’s full lineup included Joe Rodrick (a.k.a. Joey Lobo) on drums, and Tommy Mundy on guitar, with a rotating cast of vocalists including Dennis Mundy, King Solomon Prather, Robert “Dapp” Brown, and a mysterious person known as Cookieman, whose real name may have been David Jones. Together, they were operating in the genre-bounding territory that briefly opened in the wake of Jimi Hendrix and Funkadelic, cross-fertilizing white rock with black funk and soul. You can hear the rev of the engine in their music, the creak of leather and the clank of chains.

Known for exhaustive, psychedelic shows with a very risque element, the band was forcing them to add “Rated X” to their name at various points. Payne told me a story of Joey Lobo doing a drum solo with dildos as drumsticks. Eventually, they merged with a local vocal group called Act 5 to complete their show band package and become “Act 5 & Stone Coal White.” Formerly an a cappella group, Act 5 was led by brothers Holland and Larry Makeupson. Unfortunately, both bands together were ahead of their time, and their time was not kind.

Psychedelic rock record collectors have been repeating the name Heitkotter as if it were a mantra ever since the first copy of a hand-made demo LP turned up in a Los Angeles music publisher’s reject bin, with nothing more than that word scrawled across a plain white jacket.

The venerated record dealer Paul Major – he behind the “real people music” phenomena, and a wizard of deciphering lost and fuzzy sounds, capable of bringing them into a context that a lay-person might understand – lost a battle in his analysis of the LP in the early ’90s. His words still ring true today, as he calls Heitkotter a “banging garage downer LP from the twilight zone [with] wasted up-all-night vocal shrieks and mumblings… Totally fucked up sounding, drives me crazy within minutes.”

Now-Again Records embarked some years ago on what seemed like a fruitless crusade – to find out more about this Heitkotter, his music, his story. In the process, we’ve visited the house where this confounding album was recorded, found Heitkotter’s musicians, rescued the demo-recordings that paved the way for this album, uncovered unpublished photos and paintings by the man behind the album, and are now ready to present the definitive look into a musical vision equal parts dangerous and peaceful, nihilistic and optimistic. It’s safe to say the world has never heard something like Heitkotter – it is a unique piece of art unlike anything that came before or has come after it.

Stephen David Heitkotter was a Fresno, California kid who came of age in mid ’60s. He was the drummer for the Fresno garage wunderkinds the Road Runners, and even wrote a song for the band, ‘Pretty Me’, for one of their lauded 7-inch singles. Nobody really knows what happened after the band split up, victims – like many garage rock bands – of the Vietnam War draft.

Stephen never made it to Vietnam – some say his meeting with the draft board is when he first started showing signs of mental illness. He stayed in Fresno and became a bedraggled post hippie who left the Age of Aquarius defiantly proclaiming that he would become a singer, songwriter and visual artist: Black Orckid.

The bizarre LP known as Heitkotter – recorded in around 1971 and pressed in a run of less than twenty five copies – was culmination of his artistic career. Ross Dwelle, Stephen’s childhood friend and the drummer on the record, describes the bedroom sessions in a handsome Craftsman home in Old Fresno as this young trio “trying to play five songs written by a man losing his mind… probably stoned the whole time.”

Stephen’s schizophrenia worsened in the ’70s. Towards the end of the decade, his parents – loving yet exhausted – institutionalized Stephen, and he has been the State of California’s ward ever since. His older brother William – who licensed Heitkotter for release on Now-Again – still sees his Stephen once a month, but he never mentions Heitkotter or its legend to him – Stephen himself is incapable of fathoming it in context, and it might tear him away from the fragile rope that still moors him to this earthly reality.

Central Belters is ace. It allowed me to get hold of enough of my favourites that I could ignore trying to track down things like My Father My King on vinyl. Definitely worth the money.
