Tue 22 Sep – Il canto del vuoto tagliente I

This fully enjoyable performance of Current 93 represented in Torino at Teatro Alfieri by David Tibet, James Blackshaw, Baby Dee, Alex Neilson, Andrew Liles and keith wood is difficult to record to a grandmother like I am. I did not understand it all for sure but of course perceived like an art ever. The performance called "Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain" is not just a set of songs. It is a theatre play on David Tibet's philosophy and probably not reachable by me. But, as Tibet was accompanied by many talented instrumentalists, the message was passed even to me. What was the message? I think if I am not wrong, it was about balance between the dream, mission and actual behaviour. At the end when a story may be turned into something else you could still be satisfied with the result as such. OK, I should not talk about what I did not probably unerstand. I would better say that the very beginning of the performane or for the warming-up it was extremely nice to listen to James Blackshaw's solo. It was too short, only two songs. At the very end, with the last song of Current 93, a very nice dancing act by a local dancer completed the show.

I'm trying to make sense out of the mess I live in everyday... so I'm starting this soon-to-be-humongous list of live recordings I've collected up to now. Check it out and if anything catch your eye, just drop me a line.

1. Dan Deacon @ vicar street
I think that this was the first time that I've seen a gig that succeeded in putting the crowd at the center of the whole live act. Very impressive human experience. Very different than when he came to brussels. Incredible crowd response.

2. Man Man @ rotonde @ bota
Once again a ,huge show but this time it was on stage. Not a big fan of their album but live...Iits completevely different. They got the crowd very easily. never seen such a reaction in the rotonde!

3. Shearwater @ archiduc
Rook from A to Z in a fantastic place (better than for dpt of eagles..where too many wannabees showed up). Just incredible on the grand piano.

4. Camille @ cirque royal
That little piece of woman is just crazy!

5. Comets on Fire @ recyclart
I don't get why this band don't get bigger. They are so tight live!

6. Efterklang @ AB
Second time after I saw them 3 years ago. they finally matured.

7. Baby Dee @ vicar street
What a woman(?)!

8. Ponytail @ VK
Too bad they didn't play in a venue adapted to their music. I'm eager to see them in the recyclart or the ab club. Seeing them made me want to put my hands in the air as if i was a real warrior!

9. Kelpe @ recyclart
Great sound and great vids. I like the aquatic mood that he can bring in his shows.

10. Born Ruffians @ rotonde @ bota
Again this band deserves way more attention. I don't get why shitty stuffs like the kooks are so succesfull why BR not...maybe it's better so!

Honorable mention: Benga @ reset, Cibelle @ recyclart, deerhunter@vicar street, Benny b @ marbehan, soap and skin @ bota, mount eerie @ recycklart, fleetfoxes @ bota, dian cluck @ compilotheque, the dodos @ vk,

The ones to forget: Hot chip dj set (25€ for that...must have been a joke), girls in hawaai (stop please), mars volta (same) , archie bronson outfit, bon iver (i missed the diy approach of the cd) , of montreal (too much of too much), guillemots, joan as policewoman (lost her innocence), bloc party, port o brian , the uglysuit (they beat everyone in this category i think...), dpt of eagles (not an adequate venue)

Tue 2 Dec – Baby Dee, Paul Curreri, Black Carrot

Another month, another Union Chapel gig. I still love the Union Chapel, it looks incredible and sounds just as good. I also like it because although it doesn't put on gigs by bands I like or know of that often, the ones it does put on always seem to be the ones that I had given up hope of seeing at all. I discovered Baby Dee while browsing Amanda Palmer's myspace top friends, (which is surprisingly productive in terms of great music), but I managed to miss her the last 2 or 3 times she played in London.

First band up on stage were the interestingly named Black Carrot. They were odd enough that my perverse music taste should have loved them, but somehow it didn't. They played alternately ethereal and loud early-pixiesesque songs with two drummers, some bass recorder action and occasional saxophone, and it was all pretty okay, but I didn't get that feeling I get when something really grabs me and says 'listen to this!'. Part of the reason for this was I think the vocalist and guitarist, who growled and slurred his lyrics pretty much unintelligibly while pulling a range of odd faces. I don't know, it felt a bit like they were trying too hard? I think that lots of other people who like unusual music might love them, but not me.

In complete contrast, the next musician was a man named Paul Curreri, an american folk artist playing guitar with a backing band of double bass, drums, african drum and singing. I really enjoyed his music, he used what i think of as a banjo picking style on his guitar, ie he was playing with pretty much all his fingers on seperate strings, rather than just chords. His folk was not the american folk of the deep south, nor was it that of Bob Dylan or the more fiddle oriented northern american bands. It was something very laid back, spare and beautiful, a bit like Bon Iver with more down to earth lyrics, music I can imagine watching the sun go down to. Paul was a very good guitarrist and had a charming stage presence, and his backing singer provided just the right amount of female echo to the choruses. Tres bon.

Then it was time for Baby Dee. Her band, consisting of cellist, double bassist and drummer (2 of these had already assisted Mr Curreri) mounted the stage, and then up strode Baby Dee. She launched into her first song, and the tone of the night was set. I was expecting something beautiful, more on a par with her recordings, but what we got, while beautiful, was also punctuated with an incredibly unselfconscious air. Dee would often snort the end of lines, almost like she was laughing at her own lyrics, and would let her voice crack slightly at various points. Her performance was extraordinary, not like any I have ever seen before. I thought at the time that this sort of thing would be much more common in a world without a 'music industry', Baby Dee is making the music she wants, behaves the way she wants, and looks the way she wants (huge baggy dalmatian patterned sweater, big boots, wild hair). She told stories about the people and thoughts that had inspired each of her songs, punctuating each one with raucous chuckles that initially elucidated nervous laughter from the audience, but later became warmer as Baby Dee drew us into her way of thinking. Her sense of humour pervaded even the mundane task of crossing the stage, where Dee affected an exaggerated waddle that her drummer accompanied to clownish effect.

So what is the music like? A lot of it is vocal driven piano work, changing direction from soaring beauty straight down to earth with every rough bark at the end of the line. Some of the music is faster, darker and with a hint of eastern europe about it, such as the excellent The Earlie King. The songs played on the harp were probably my favourite, these were the ones where the beauty of the music and the weary, wry humour of Baby Dee combined into something all the more beautiful for all the growls and guffaws. A special mention goes out to Baby Dee's drummer on this tour, who sadly I can't remember the name of. he was one of the best drummers I have ever seen, and was very young too. He managed to do all the complex cymbal stroking and drumstick changing characteristic of people who play the drums expressively rather than just as rythm, but he did it with rhythm and speed too.

A gig not quite like I was expecting, but a wonderful experience nonetheless, and I would go and see Baby Dee again, she is a unique, genuine and very funny person.

Thu 20 Nov – Baby Dee

Summary: This article is dedicated to bibix678. She introduced me with Baby Dee whom I was happy to see in Spīķeri, Dirty Deal Cafe in Riga in Latvia. Baby Dee performed together with Alex Neilson - a young and interesting drummer. I liked the cafe, the audience and the performers - Baby Dee and Alex Neilson. My warm greetings from Estonia to Riga and Baby Dee.



See artikkel on pühendatud mu last. fm sõbrale bibix678, kes kirjutas mulle kuu aega tagasi:

"Antony'st rohkem meeldib mulle tegelikult Baby Dee, kes kuulus minu teada ka Antony bändi mingil ajal. nad on mingil moel sarnased, Baby Dee on aga rohkem klassikalise suunaga ja mulle jubedalt meeldivad tema laulusõnad. ja ta on üldse üks kummaline kuju http://www.babydee.org/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRJIbvKy-1g&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL9sfqOFpWI "

Esmatutvus artistiga Baby Dee viis kiiresti huvini ja avastades, et varsti toimub tema kontsert Riias, saigi seal ära käidud. Koht "Dirty Deal Cafe" oli meeldiv underground kohvik vanas tööstushoones. Kohale oli tulnud valdavalt kunstihuviline publik, Eestiga võrreldes rohkem vene rahvusest publikut ja hulga vähem välismaa turiste. Alguses esines läti noor pianist ja laulja Anette ning juba vilksataski saalis Baby Dee valge mustatäpiline karvane pusa. Natuke ootamist ja ehe Baby Dee oli laval - jalas tõelised tanksaapad, ruudulised põlvpüksid ja seljas fuksiaroosa kampsun, kaelas muidugi pantrimustriline pael ja veel üks suurem sall. Ka lokiline soeng oli seekord roosa. Ei mingit pikka juttu, kohe läks klaverimänguks ja laulmiseks. Harfi ja akordeoni kahjuks kaasas ei olnud. Küll aga oli laval trummikomplekt ja kaasas Alex Nilsson - noor trummar, kes peale Baby Dee eduka saatmise demonstreeris ka huvitavaid trummi-(või õigemini taldriku)efekte, mille kirjeldamiseks puudub mul tehniline oskus. Baby Dee mõjus väga koduselt nagu naabritüdruk, kes on tulnud sinuga juttu puhuma. See jutupuhumine toimus aga laulu ja klaverimängu vormis. Alex Nilsson oli ehk see, kes kogu selle loo rohkem lavaliseks esinemiseks muutis mängides trummipulkadega ja muude vidinatega, millest osa hoidis vajadusel hammaste vahel. Palad olid valitud peamiselt plaadilt Safe Inside The Day ning lugude järjekord oli kirjutatud rasvaste tähtedega paberilehele, mis seisis esinejale "meeldetuletuseks" pianiino noodialusel. Kontsert oli meeldejääv, selliseid esinejaid meil Eestis ei ole (võib-olla oleksid nad juba maast madalast "maha materdatud").
