1981

1981 A mai Harmadik Utas szervezési problémák miatt zenei müsorra sikeredett. A válogatás koncepcióját egy elöző nap látott kiváló film ihlette. A híres grafitti úttörő Jean-Micheal Basquiat főszereplésével készült Downtown 81 című film nagyszerüen bemutatja New York underground arculatát, felvonultatja az akkori alternativ zenei élet színe-javát. Kulturális kordokumentum. Az első órában zenék a nyolcvanas évek legelejéről, USA, Anglia és az NSZK. A második részben pedig a film soundtrackje forgott. Részletes ismertető a filmről angol nyelven: Downtown 81 (a.k.a New York Beat Movie) (1980/81) (Movie & Soundtrack) http://www.downtown81.com/ Legendary painter, graffiti artist, poet and musician Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) was only 19 years old when he played the lead in DOWNTOWN 81, a striking “lost” film that chronicles the explosive early-1980s Manhattan art and music scene. Completed and theatrically released two decades later, it’s the story of a charismatic artist who attempts to sell a painting amidst the rappers, junkies, strippers, models and art-world matriarchs of a pre-Giuliani Lower East Side. This vividly entertaining slice of life is also a fabulous showcase for the music of Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Tuxedomoon, The Plastics, DNA, The Lounge Lizards, and Basquiat’s own band, Gray. Shot on location, DOWNTOWN 81 not only captures one of the most important and provocative artists of the 20th-century as he is poised for worldwide fame, but is also a vivid snapshot of a New York City that no longer exists. Lost for twenty years...Premiered to great acclaim at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival The film Downtown 81, shot in downtown New York between 1980 and 1981, is a cross between a documentary of the area's thriving art/music scene and a day-in-the-life story about a young artist played by Jean Michel Basquiat. It follows Basquiat's character as he struggles to find a way to avoid eviction from his apartment; he attempts to sell some of his artwork and ends up doing some club-hopping later in the day to track someone down who can provide him with a place to stay for the night. In the meantime, he encounters all sorts of characters and bands, both real and not. Some of those include no wavers James White & the Blacks and DNA, legendary Caribbean/disco fusionists Kid Creole & the Coconuts, and Blondie's Debbie Harry, who turns into a princess after Basquiat kisses her (other members of Blondie appear with Harry as a band called the Felons). The project was dropped without release sometime in the '80s, but it was dusted off and revitalized in time for the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. It was released on a limited number of art-house screens later that year, and the soundtrack was also issued to promote it.

Only a handful of the 20 selections have no direct ties to the film, but they're still relevant musically to the remainder of the disc.) The biggest selling point here has to be the legendary Rammellzee Vs. K-Rob's "Beat Bop" (which was produced by Basquiat), one of old school rap's brightest but unrecognized gleams. There's all sorts of scratchy no wave from DNA ("Blonde Redhead," "Detached"), James White & the Blacks ("Contort Yourself," "Sax Maniac"), and Lydia Lunch ("The Closet"), making this disc a decent substitute for those who can't track down the No New York compilation. Other appearances come from Liquid Liquid (the beyond-classic "Cavern"), Tuxedomoon, Suicide, the Plastics, Coati Munti Hernandez, and Basquiat's own band, Gray. Even without the context of the film, Downtown 81 documents a period when all sorts of cultures weren't merely co-existing, but feeding off each other as well. 01.  Gray - So Far So Real 02.  Coati Mundi - K Pasa-Pop I           Featuring - Kid Creole And The Coconuts 03.  Tuxedomoon - Desire 04.  Liquid Liquid - Cavern 05.  DNA - Blonde Redhead 06.  James White & The Blacks - Sax Maniac 07.  Lounge Lizards - I'm A Doggy> 08.  James White & The Blacks - Contort Yourself 09.  Gray - Drum Mode 10.  Lydia Lunch - The Closet 11.  Coati Mundi - Palabras Con Ritmo           Vocals - Jean-Michel Basquiat 12.  Lounge Lizards - Bob The Bob 13.  Pablo Calogero - Tangita 14.  Kid Creole And The Coconuts - Mr. Softee 15.  Suicide - Cheree 16.  DNA - Detached 17.  Chris Stein - 15 Minutes 18.  Plastics - Copy 19.  Walter Steding And The Dragon People - New Day 20.  Rammellzee vs. K-Rob Beat Bop (az utolsó 5 számból három a délutáni Szik+Víz elején volt hallható) Harmadik Utas RSS: http://tilos.hu/podcast/626.rss a műsor letölthető: http://tilos.hu/online/2009/04/01/1000.mp3 http://tilos.hu/online/2009/04/01/1030.mp3 http://tilos.hu/online/2009/04/01/1100.mp3 http://tilos.hu/online/2009/04/01/1130.mp3
