Howe´s so ausführlich wie liebevoll kommentierte „top 10 all time favorite records on this day of 1/5/07“ kann man jetzt auf HoweGelb.com nachlesen.
Hier mal nur die Liste mit ein paar Text-Auszügen:
1. ROLLING STONES – STICKY FINGERS
„This is the most perfectly produced record ever….“2. (a) THE THELONIOUS MONK ORCHESTRA – LIVE AT TOWN HALL
„…There is such a vital warmth to this recording. Like the humidity in the room then seeps out from the speakers now when you spin it…“
(b)THELONIOUS MONK – EVIDENCE
„…grants a very interesting look into the mind of the man.“3. NEIL YOUNG AND CRAZY HORSE – EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE
„…It’s not the songs so much, just the sound of the record that has stuck with me. His guitar was the guitar that inoculated me to ever play guitar…“4. MILES DAVIS – ASCENSEUR POUR L’ECHAFAUD
„In my opinion, this record is the true sound of the desert. This record got played over and over when I lived in the middle of nowhere. The sound of it would float the day away out there in joshua tree land…“5. RAINER – ALPACA LIPS
„…This record is a monument to the man’s momentum….“6. BOB DYLAN – MODERN TIMES
„It’s very important to know a man can come up with his best work in his 60s, regardless of how outstanding his output was when he was a young man in the 60s. He has finally found the sonic trust to record with his touring band. His offhanded lyrical delivery is as deeply effective as ever, and his sense of rhythm is a mesh of the borrowed and a sheen of the evolved. It is infinitely freshly mesmerizing upon every listen, like a master craftsman we needed him to be, made all the more emblazoned by his credo of never listening to his own records….“7. HOWE GELB – ‘SNO ANGEL LIKE YOU
„… also because I do not want to call the people that love this record a bunch of liars.“:-)8. FEIST – LET IT DIE
„…This record now gets played every available moment in our house for its sheer exuberance. …“9. TOM WAITS – ORPHANS
„This record should have been put way up on the list, but since I hate doing lists, it is number 9 by contrasting incident. And I think he would have wanted feist to go first anyway, ever the gentleman. Can’t explain # 7 however…“10. DAVID BOWIE – THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS
„…Best not to forget that hank williams, the true father of glam rock, was the first david bowie. This record needs to be moved up to the number one position now, and let the stones deal with it.“bonus selection:
TOM ZE -ANYTHING HE HAS EVER DONE AND ALL THAT HE HAS YET TO DO
„… It is laced with brazilian rhythms and fantastic contrasting horn blasts and sounds that emerge and disembark and diverge and disembowel. It is very impressive music. And very fun.“--

“It's much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than a helping hand.” — Mike RoykoWie geil ist das denn? Hast Du das Giant Sandworm-Video zu „body of water“ von `83 schon auf der Homepage gesehen?!
Wusste gar nicht, dass der Song in der Formation schon aufgenommen wurde. Klingt ein wenig nach Echo & The Bunnymen, die sich in der Wüste velaufen haben. Und sieht insbesondere so aus.--
I like to move it, move it Ya like to (move it)Ja klar, ich hab den Link in diesem Thread im Oktober gepostet. Die 80er Musikvideos hatten schon einen sehr eigenen Charakter.
Jetzt sind 2 neue Videos dazugekommen, und ich seh leider nur rote Kreuze.

“It's much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than a helping hand.” — Mike RoykoEine Story auf der Evan Dando Seite erzählt, wie H. Gelb ein BBQ organisiert und sich P.J.Harvey, Mark Linkous, Kurt Wagner, Vic Chesnut und später noch Joey und John einfinden.
Aus dem BBQ Lineup entstand dann das Line Up der „Barbican Hall“ London (+ John Parish).
„“Good friends, before I take my leave, what say we take this medicine show to London, England and play our mystical music to the folk across the sea?“
http://www.evandando.co.uk/interviews/circuit.htm
Howe Gelb and Evan Dando are throwing a party out in the desert. Howe is firing up the barbecue in the yard and marinating the steaks while Evan tosses the salad and prepares his own secret recipe dressing. It is mid afternoon, the sun is hot and high and the mood is strange and heavy with expectation. „Who’s coming by?“ says Evan, tearing at a stubborn lettuce. „Just a few good friends“ says Howe, kicking his docile mutt out from under his feet. Evan twists open a bottle of tequila and pours himself a generous measure, „want some of this?“ „Nah,“ says Howe „I’m gonna spoil myself today and open a bottle of BNJ sent over from England.“ Howe shuffles off into the shack.
In the Arizona desert the bone-dry cacti grow as big as houses. Evan stands under a thin tree and throws a bad tomato at a cactus, it splats and dribbles down the spikes. In the distance a dustball is flying up the track towards the house, as it gets closer a station wagon comes bumping into view making a noise like a broken tractor. At the wheel is Mark Linkous of Sparklehorse. He parks the motor behind the washing line and climbs out looking frayed and gloomy. „Hey Mark,“ shouts Evan „looks like you need a drink.“ „Sure, you got any vodka for one of those White Russians?“ „Hey there Howe,“ says Mark as Howe appears on the stoop. „Man, you look beat,“ says Howe. „Well, it’s a long drive from Virginia, and the car’s been a tad cranky.“ Mark pulls up a chair and puts his feet up on the table where Evan is slicing up vegetables. Another car pulls up and PJ Harvey pokes her head through the washing line looking fresh as a daisy. „Polly, how ya been,“ says Mark. „I’m good, real good. Hi Evan, what’s cooking?“ „Just a little salad and stuff, you hungry?“ says Evan taking a big slug of the golden tequila. „I’m starving, where’s Howe?“ „I’m here, man. Polly, glad you could make it,“ says Howe running across the yard and clutching her tight.
As the afternoon sun arcs across the deep blue sky Howe drags a table across the yard and arranges a strange collection of seats around its perimeter. Mark stares wearily into the desert nursing his White Russian and Polly and Evan share mystical fables by the vegetable stall. Then the dog starts yapping and whining and chasing it’s tail. Howe looks over to it, knits his brow and makes a long shushing sound. Full speed clattering down the track comes a big battered green pickup with old time country music pumping out of the radio. The truck pulls up in a cloud of dust, the engine cuts out and the music stops dead. Silence. „Kurt and Vic, I’m presuming.“ Says Howe and strides over the yard with his dog at his heels. As the dirt cloud lifts, Kurt Wagner from Lambchop and Vic Chesnutt brush the dust from their shirts. „What a trip, man“ says Vic „where’s the party?“
Evan is proud of his dressing. He makes a deal of getting everyone to try it and they all agree it’s a good dressing, except for Kurt. „It’s a bit too piquant for me“ he says and cuts another slice of his t-bone. PJ pours herself two fingers of tequila and swallows it down. „Great shack, Howe“ she says. „Yeah, I like it“ says Howe „it reminds me of me.“ He turns to look at the house, a grand rambling old structure, full of awkward grace, hidden corners, strong and alone out in the desert. After the meal, when the big pink sun is setting and an evening chill starts to prick the air, Evan demands they all drive out to Tuscon to get more liquor.
The bunch of them clamber into Kurt’s pickup and the crackling radio plays Giant Sand’s Blue Marble Girl as they rattle through the dusk. When they get to Tuscon Kurt heads the truck towards Howe’s chosen bar and they all tumble inside, dog in tow. Howe, Evan, Mark, PJ, Kurt and Vic find a snug corner in the Congress Hotel bar and order a batch of tequila shots. In a while they are joined by fellow desert men John Convertino and Joey Burns from Calexico. Howe stands to address his compadres. „Good friends, before I take my leave, what say we take this medicine show to London, England and play our mystical music to the folk across the sea?“--
“It's much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than a helping hand.” — Mike RoykoHowe antwortet auf dem Commentboard auf die Frage inwieweit „Dreaded Brown Recluse“ ein Solo Album sei, zumal die Badnmitglieder von Giant Sand mitspielen.
Innerhalb seines Kommentars geht er auf seine schwierige Zeit 1996 ein und streift auch etwas seine Situation nach dem allmählichen „Ausbrechen“ von Joey & John.
Selbst für mich ist dieser Absatz sehr informativ:
howe home
that dreaded brown recluse record was a solo record in name only because the record company was complaining i was making too many giant sand records too close together.
so it was called a solo record instead. sort of a loop hole. spirit lie. i miss that song. you can hear young indiosa in that one singing the chorus a bit. where does your spirit lie ? it had some live takes on it from mad dog studio too, like the song ‚picture shows‘, which was really written in the 70s, but coming unto its own here at the turn of the 90s. i like the speed of how that track got played and how it showed off how tight the band could be. i hated the sound of the acoustic guitar pick up making the strings sound like rubber bands. it was recorded during a moment when atlantic records were there in the studio and considering us for a signing. i don’t think we ended up on atlantic, but a single called ’shadow to you‘ did. anyhow, there was no so called solo record till 1997 because i made it a point to include the band in everything i would do for the sake of their income and involvement. it wasn’t until things changed in 1996 when 2/3 of that line up went off to explore other ideas that i was left with having nothing but a solo record to record. all that coincided with rainer getting very ill and also me having to raise up my daughter alone then. these choices left me without a band. so solo it would be, but looking back, i should have just gone ahead and started the solo yip many years earlier. it would have made more sense in the outcome of things. the end. again. -howe
