The Council Chronicles

CouncilChronicles 01, originally uploaded by Brian in Cleveland.

The greatest hits and misses package, newly reconsidered! There's far too much Council stuff to chronicalize, even if we could find it. But here's an attempt.

1. Gamblers At Sunrise
2. Joan Was A Centipede
3. Looking Back (Garfield Park)
4. Ihr Strumpfe
5. Otis Died
6. Let's Explore Uranus
7. Wonderful Machine
8. On The Prowl
9. Mountain Suits (Don't Need No)
10. Triplett's Trip (The Drum Solo)
11. All I Want Is Water
12. Hat Session Excerpts
13. Baby Baby (Reprise)

(Other tracks that appear on Chronicles have already been collected elsewhere -- never fear! And more tracks to come probably!)

For Bisquits And Baker Men

For Bisquits And Baker Men 01, originally uploaded by Brian in Cleveland.

...IT'S JUST YOU...AND THE SEA...AND THE SHIP...

Yes, it's the sound of the Council, coming into their own...or at least into Sir Trenton's one bedroom apartment. Filled with strange narratives, crunchy riffage, blue-eyed soul-moaning, and, dare I say, some pretty unobtrusive experimentalism, For Bisquits And Baker Men is the Council's very own Led Zeppelin III.

1. The Ballad Of Life And Death
2. Sorry (So?)
3. Arabian Coffee House
4. A Pleasant Interlude
5. Mystery Blues
6. Easy Listening
7. European Grunge
8. Walk On By
9. Time Has Come Today
10. Trip With Me
11. Louisiana Swamp Song
12. Spanish Love Triangle
13. Funky Doorwood
14. Atlantis
15. Harlem Gritty Blues
16. Cycle Crash/Bloody Death
17. Classical Break
18. Mister Salty
19. Death Walks In/Too Rainy Days
20. Big City Saturday Night
21. Bad Boy's Country Shoes
22. Goodbye To The Waves And The Masses

Rivers of Bourbon - LRC

Rivers of Bourbon - LRC, originally uploaded by Brian in Cleveland.

Actually labeled "Rivers of Fate", this tape of mostly earlier stuff recorded at DJC's various living spaces/studios does not have much overlap with other 1992/1993 tapes, so it became "Bourbon" after the song. You need to know these things. Anyway, not bad! They are on digital files now, so maybe a video for all coming soon. My track list is in the comments. Leave a comment of your very own! Your opinion is important! Sincerely, The Management.

Subject: LRC - Albums in my i-Tunes library

From DJC:

-----

Hey, Councel-ites,

Subject: LRC - Albums in my i-Tunes library

I can burn ya'll a DVD or Flash-Drive from the LRC Album List below (the DVD will only play in a computer, but u can download the songs you want to your computer for burning to CD or, just keep it for back-up), if you would like that. I have this list burned on DVD, and there are 95 songs on it, and I can still fit much more on the dvd, but u cannot play it on a DVD player, only on your computer. It is mainly a back-up disc for all my i-Tunes.

Otherwise, separate CDs or Song-DVDs will be forthcoming, when I get a consensus from all the LRC members that the songs picked for each album are correct and in the proper order, etc.

Brian and I have started on the downloading songs from the tapes we have, and that may take a while, but some of these albums may be complete, and I'll try to get those out as soon as I can. I think we all should agree on the artwork, and about trademark issues as well, before I go to print.

Have I forgotten an album? PLEASE advise!! E-mail me and let me know .....
Peace,

This is the order of all the LRC albums that I can think of, put in chronological order .... maybe not perfect order.The lists below this main Album list are the tracks from these albums that I have in my iTunes library, but my library is not complete.This is an ongoing work, so please advise of mistakes and additions or subtractions I will need to make for the completed discs.

(Some songs are not on my computer yet, but I will update this list when they are.)
