Hiya.

The Unheard Monkey will probably be published Wednesday or Thursday, and consists of new musicks (2005 and later) selected by some heavy-hitter musically-minded participants.

I was thinking it might be nice to go the other way for the mix after Unheard, wherein the only rule is that all the selections are recorded pre-1950.

However, I don’t know that I can find people to do this mix — I’m not sure if people have 5 or 6 older songs they would be able to select.

If there are people that are able and willing to do the mix, then great. If not, I’ll pick another theme (I have a couple in mind). I was hoping to find at least four other people. Leave a comment indicating you’re interested if this sounds fun to you.

Here’s a discussion of my selections for the COVER ME! Mix, Volume 17 of the Green Monkey Music Project.

Contact – Godzuki
Contact – Brigitte Bardot
I heard the Godzuki cover of this before hearing the original by Bardot. Both are neat in their own way. Bardot’s original is really peppy and short. And, she sings in French. That’s always nice.

I really like Godzuki’s cover. It’s kind of electronically chunky, for lack of a better word. I think they have a drum machine patched through a Crybaby (aka “Wah-Wah”) pedal which gives the whole song a really nice funky underpinning. This song can be found on the wonderful compilation Pop Romantique, which consists of well-established “alt” bands (Luna, Magnetic Fields, Ivy, Air) covering French tunes.

The Tide Is High – Blondie
The Tide Is High – The Paragons
This is another case of me hearing the cover before hearing the original. In fact, I didn’t even realize it was a cover until a few years ago.

I used to go every Tuesday to Rock Records in downtown Chicago (you could get a dollar off all albums on Tuesdays). I would usually just go through their cutout bin of $5 items, looking for a good deal. One of those Tuesdays I lucked upon Duke Reid’s Treasure Chest, a fantastic 2-disc compilation of rocksteady music. When I got home, I put on the first disc without looking at the tracks, and was very surprised to hear the Paragons launch into “The Tide Is High”.

Even though it’s a cover, for me the definitive version of this song will always belong to Blondie. Oh, this song. It would fit nicely as one of my selections on the Total Absorption Mix, as when I hear it I have to listen to the whole damn thing. It would fit nicely on the Eargasm Mix as well — at the 3:48 mark, the way Deborah Harry sings the “the tide is hiiiIIGH!” gets me every time.

You may have noticed that I included an image of the K-Tel album Full Tilt as opposed to the Blondie album that the song was originally on, Autoamerican.

Well, that K-Tel record was a huge part of my childhood existence. I didn’t own it, but a good friend of mine did. And we played the crap out of that album. Here’s the track listing:

FULL TILT: 1981
A1 The Tide Is High (Blondie)
A2 Let My Love Open The Door (Pete Townshend)
A3 Whip It (Devo)
A4 Hot Rod Hearts (Robbie Dupree)
A5 Take Your Time (Do It Right) (S.O.S. Band)
A6 I’m Happy That Love Has Found You (Jimmy Hall)
A7 Who’ll Be The Fool Tonight (Larsen-Feiten Band)

B1 He’s So Shy (Pointer Sisters)
B2 You’re The Only Woman (Ambrosia)
B3 Shining Star (Manhattans)
B4 Midnight Rocks (Al Stewart)
B5 Misunderstanding (Genesis)
B6 Aint’ That A Shame (Cheap Trick)
B7 Hit Me With Your Best Shot (Pat Benatar)

Honestly, I remember listening to the Pete Townshend, Devo and Blondie more than anything. And I remember playing “Whip It” at the wrong speed. It actually sounds quite lovely sped up. But I would never do that to Blondie. No, no, no.

Speeding Motorcycle – Yo La Tengo
Speeding Motorcycle – Daniel Johnston
I remember friends of mine in college talking about this song. One was defending it, and one was mocking Daniel Johnston. I like this song. The original is a little jarring when you first hear it, but it’s sincere. And Yo La Tengo does a really pretty cover of it.

I thought about including R.E.M.’s cover of the Syd Barrett song “Dark Globe”, which I think has a similar relationship to this cover/original pair.

Oh, there’s another nice cover of this song by Yo La Tengo on Genius + Love, where Daniel Johnston calls in to sings the vocals, with YLT providing the musical accompaniment.

Superstar In France – Lambchop
Superstar In France – East River Pipe
I first discovered Lambchop during one of my many sessions of browsing used CD’s at Laurie’s Planet Of Sound. I really dug the album I picked up, Thriller. One of the best tracks on the record was “Superstar In France”, which was actually a cover of a song by F.M. Cornog (aka East River Pipe).

They actually do a couple covers of East River Pipe songs on this album, but this is my favorite.

I bought some albums by East River Pipe because I liked the Lambchop covers so much.

Though the original “Superstar In France” is quite lovely, I love the Lambchop version a bit more. The instrumentation is wonderful, and Lambchop singer Kurt Wagner has one of the best voices in pop music.

Crazy – Violent Femmes
Crazy – Gnarls Barkley
Okay, the original song, from Gnarls Barkley’s debut album St. Elsewhere, is great. You’ll get no argument from me.

On the same record, Gnarls Barkley does a cover of “Gone Daddy Gone”, a song from the Violent Femmes’ debut album. I’m not sure if that was a motivating factor for the Violent Femmes to cover “Crazy”, but whatever got them to do it, I’m thankful.

If they haven’t already done so, they should cover the respective “Crazy” songs by Patsy Cline and Pylon. If there is any song out there called “Crazy”, I want to hear Gordon Gano singing it.

American Woman – Butthole Surfers
American Woman – The Guess Who
I honestly don’t know if I ever have heard the original in its entirety prior to this mix. I mostly know it from the “Freedom Rock” commercial, or whatever-the-hell compilation it used to be on that would be incessantly advertised on the T.V.

I have heard the Butthole Surfers cover plenty, however. I don’t know, it has traces of the original, but stands alone as its own song quite nicely. It’s a little squonky. I just like it.

Volume 17 of the Green Monkey Music Project is completed and available for download!

As promised, I have provided both the covers selected by the participants, and additionally am including the same song by the original artist.

If the participants of this mix want to discuss their own selections, please feel free to do so! I’ll put a pointer on this post if you end up posting about it on your own blog (or you could always just add comments here, I suppose).

I know the Green Monkey music pipe is still sore from all the filth pumped through it for The Lenten Mix, but I wanted to get this new mix started because I am very excited about it.

Volume 17 of the Green Monkey Music Project is called COVER ME!, and if you guessed that this mix concerned covers, well, aren’t you Mr./Ms. Smartypants.

Your selections should all be songs which are not the original versions, but are rather another artist’s interpretation of the original. I want the cover of the song to be meaningful, or important, or special to you in some way that distinguishes it from the original, and I’m going to want you to explain the significance when you discuss your selections after the mix has been published.

There are five open slots for this mix. Each participant can pick six songs.

When you eventually submit your songs, please provide the song name, the artist performing the cover, as well as the artist of the original song.

I’m actually going to have a little fun with this mix, in that there will be two mixes — the first “disc” will be the cover versions, and the second will contain the original versions of all the covers.

Oh, one more rule that I am going to have to enforce. You can’t use Leonard Cohen’s song Hallelujah, as I’m just tired of hearing it.

Sign up for the mix by leaving a comment, kiddos.

Here are my choices:

Contact – Godzuki (Brigitte Bardot)
The Tide Is High – Blondie (The Paragons)
Speeding Motorcycle – Yo La Tengo (Daniel Johnston)
Superstar In France – Lambchop (East River Pipe)
Crazy – Violent Femmes (Gnarls Barkley)
American Woman – Butthole Surfers (The Guess Who)

UPDATE!

We have our participants!

Randal G!
Dr MVM!
p0nk!
Andy!
Bill T!
Splotchy!

Welcome aboard!

When you decide on your selections, please leave them as a comment on this post in a format similar to mine.

Volume 16 of the Green Monkey Music Project is completed and available for download!

If the participants of this mix want to discuss their own selections, please feel free to do so! I’ll put a pointer on this post if you end up posting about it on your own blog (or you could always just add comments here, I suppose).

UPDATE:

I almost forgot! (Well, I did forget, but thankfully I can re-edit my post).

It is my great honor to award a Green Monkey Master Badge to Tenacious S! This is her third time participating in GMMP, which now makes her a Green Monkey Master.

Here’s a discussion of my selections for the Lenten Mix, Volume 16 of the Green Monkey Music Project.

Jailbait – Motörhead
Hey baby you’re a sweet young thing,
Still tied to Mommy’s apron strings,
I don’t even dare to ask your age,
It’s enough to know you’re here backstage,
You’re Jailbait, and I just can’t wait,
Jailbait baby come on

Carbona Not Glue – The Ramones
Wondering what I’m doing tonight
I’ve been in the closet and feel all right
Ran out of Carbona
Mom threw out the glue
Ran out of paint and roach spray too

It’s TV’s fault why I am this way
Mom and pop wanna put me away
From the early morning movie
To the late late show
After it’s over nowhere to go

And I’m not sorry for the things I do
My brain is stuck from shooting glue
I’m not sorry for the things I do

She’s Like Heroin To Me – The Gun Club
Don’t let her take her love to town
They will never fill her heart
She needs a passion like her father’s used to be

I know, because I’m like the train shooting down the mainline
I know, because I’m like the Indian wind along the telegraph lines

And she’s like Heroin to me
She’s like Heroin to me
She’s like Heroin to me
She cannot miss a vein

So mainline it!

The Power Of Positive Drinking – Lou Reed
Some people say, alcohol makes you less lucid
And I think that’s true if you’re kind of stupid
I’m not that kind that gets himself burned twice

And some say liquor kills the cells in your head
And for that matter so does getting out of bed
When I exit, I’ll go out gracefully, shot in my hand

The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive
The pow-pow-pow-pow-power of positive drinking

December 1963 (Oh What A Night) – Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons
Oh, what a night
You know, I didn’t even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night

Oh, I, I got a funny feeling when she walked
In the room and I,
As I recall it ended much too soon

Oh, what a night
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing me
She was everything I dreamed she’d be
Sweet surrender, what a night!

Oh, what a night
Why’d it take so long to see the light?
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
Sweet surrender, what a night!
