Such a fun and informative read — @johnlingan.bsky.social really outdid himself with this one. The best thing I can say about the book is that it has already made me a better listener, helping me hear new things in music while putting into words what I sensed but could not articulate.
My hand holds a copy of BACKBEATS: A HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL IN FIFTEEN DRUMMERS by John Lingan, a book that you should definitely buy or ask your library to purchase

The live tracks on the new Mellon Collie reissue offer a great excuse to join the Church of Jimmy Chamberlin. We meet once a month as twilight turns to starlight and we all dress like this.

Over @aquariumdrunkard.com I'm back at the soul jazz pulpit.
The Joys of Cookin’: Tracks from Groove Merchant, 1971-1974 (A Mixtape) - Aquarium Drunkard
Founded in 1971, Sonny Lester's Groove Merchant label was pretty far removed from what was going on in jazz at the beginning of that decade. Fusion, black power, spiritual jazz and ECM were all happen...

I think the section you're after is under Never Understand in the transcript - lifeoftherecord.com/the-jesus-an...
“Never Understand” William Reid: The thing with the feedback is it’s hard, it’s very hard to control. It’s easy to control, like, the bass, the darker rumbling feedback notes. But the high frequency ones, they’re very difficult to control. But a lot of what we were doing was relying on the luck of the universe to be honest. Like we would record maybe four feedback tracks, four or five feedback tracks blind, like meaning, not listening to like the other ones, and then put them all together. And sometimes they just went together and it was like a fucking miracle, I swear. And I really, really feel that when you’re making music that you should allow for the universe to step in. And so many accidents happened on that album. So many things just fell into the right place that it was almost supernatural. I mean, I know it was supernatural. I know it was. Because me and Jim were just never been in a recording studio before really. We were never left alone in a recording studio, let alone be in one. And so many accidents that just turned out to be so fortuitous, so exactly in the right place that it was just incredible. It was like, I should have been praying to God every fucking night when I went home.

For the 40th anniversary of @themarychain.bsky.social’s debut album, PSYCHOCANDY, we spoke with Jim Reid and William Reid about how it was made. Brothers changed by punk, discovering recording, a magical fuzz pedal and pop meets noise in the 1980s.
