Janet Beveridge Bean drums, sings and writes in the great, muscular Chicago guitar band Eleventh Dream Day, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. She also sings, writes and plays guitar in the off-kilter-beautiful Freakwater, her country-folk group with singer Catherine Irwin that released its debut album in 1989. Those bands have 25 albums between them, yet Beveridge Bean, who calls herself “musically illiterate,” has applied her ever-restless artistic spirit to many other projects as well. She takes us inside the dynamics of her various collaborations, tells of how Eleventh Dream Day maintained its singular vision while working with and without major labels, and presents a life lived at peak creativity.

Robert Lloyd (Nightingales) and Janet Beveridge Bean (Freakwater, Eleventh Dream Day) join me to talk about their timeless and compelling new collaboration, Lloyd/Bean. This is an album that will completely take you by surprise; the sort of thing you'll find yourself wanting to share with friends.    We talk about how the collaboration came to be, what informed the song selection, how the band came together, and what future plans (if any) might there be for this transcontinental project.   Car Con Carne is proud to be sponsored by Alex Ross Art (alexrossart.com). San Diego Comic Con is fast approaching. If you're going, make sure to visit Alex Ross Art while you're there!   There's plenty of cool stuff to drool over and purchase at alexrossart.com.

Brad Wood was a trained jazz saxophonist who didn't like how rock music was sounding in the late '80s, so he became a producer in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. At Idful Music, which has a cool origin story, Wood tried to capture the true sound of such bands as Freakwater, Trenchmouth and his own Shrimp Boat. Then he was knocked out by Liz Phair's songs, and he and she co-produced Exile in Guyville, a landmark album soon to mark its 30th anniversary. Phair's and Wood's careers took off, and he went on to work with many other groups, including Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins and the Bangles. Wood is as skilled as talker as he is a producer, and in this, Pt. 1 of a two-parter, he takes us deep into his Rockford roots, the Wicker Park scene and the creation of Phair's stunning debut.

Démissionnaire de son poste à London Records, Bettina Richards souhaite créer un label en phase avec les attentes des artistes. Avec un capital de 35 000 dollars et inspirée par d'autres pionniers de la musique alternative comme Touch and Go, Sub Pop, et Dischord, elle fonde en 92 à New-York, le label Thrill Jockey. Un nom qui vient de celui d'une bande de délinquants d'un film de série B.  Les premières années, elle gère le label depuis son appartement de Manhattan, tout en travaillant chez un disquaire alternatif du New-Jersey. Afin de se rapprocher de Touch and Go et de son réseau d'artistes, le label déménage à Chicago en 1995. Les taxes et les loyers y sont moins onéreux qu'à New-York et le label profite de la scène locale underground très active. Bettina Richards trouve un emploi de barmaid qui lui permettra de diriger le label sans se rémunérer pendant plusieurs années. Elle dirigera Thrill Jockey seule jusqu'en 1997.  Le deuxième album de Freakwater devient le premier succès commercial de Thrill Jockey. Tortoise, en vendant 100 000 exemplaires des ses derniers albums, est la principale locomotive économique du label. Le groupe permet ainsi à d'autres projets de ne vendre que 2 000 disques pour rentrer dans leurs frais, offrant ainsi à Thrill Jockey une immense liberté artistique.  John McEntire, membre des groupes Tortoise et The Sea & Cake, mais aussi ingénieur du son et propriétaire du studio d'enregistrement de Chicago : Soma, participe à la production de nombreux albums d'artistes du label ce qui contribue grandement à la baisse des coûts de production.  Bénéficiant d'une structure légère et de capacités à se promouvoir en ligne, Thrill Jockey résiste à l'arrivée d'internet et du peer to peer qui voit le secteur de la musique s'effondrer au début des années 2000. Le label est ainsi l'un des premiers à proposer l'écoute gratuite, puis la vente en ligne de ses albums. Même si aux débuts du label, les artistes de Chicago constituaient l'essentiel du catalogue, il s'est rapidement élargi à d'autres groupes. Les collaborateurs du label piochent dans tous les genres musicaux en partant du principe que s'ils aiment un album il y a de fortes chances qu'ils ne soient pas les seuls. En plus de 25 ans, Thrill Jockey a sorti des albums de genres musicaux très différents, allant du rock indé, en passant par le metal, le punk, la folk, la musique électronique, et le rock d'avant-garde.

“Nothing’s Ever Lost" Eleventh Dream Day have never stopped being great. Since their self-titled 1987 EP, over the course of 13 albums the band have retained the same scruffy splendor that has always made them one of the most riveting acts around. I always told my friends they sounded like a cross between X and R.E.M. but that was an oversimplification on my part. That might have even been a bit lazy. The fact is, Eleventh Dream Day have a lot in common with the bands I mentioned, but they’re so much more than that. They’re an arresting blend of muscle and heart and even when the songs jangle they still sting. The vulnerable numbers have frayed, poetic finesse and the faster ones rip away with ragged and battered beauty. Singer Rick Rizzo, to borrow an expression from Saul Bellow, is an open wound of a man and drummer/singer Janet Bean is a revelation—she’s sonorous and sorrowful, but she also blazes through each number with conviction and heart. Bean you might recognize from being one of the co founders of Freakwater and bassist Doug McCombs plays in Tortoise, but when they come together as Eleventh Dream Day, the sound is distinct, stirring and always energizing. The band’s new album is called Since Grazed and it’s a startling collection of thrilling indie rock bliss. Jagged, gripping, moving and deeply inspiring, the album shows that Eleventh Dream Day remain as vital as ever. In this chat with Rick Rizzo and Janet Bean, we talk about life on a major label, the Meat Puppets’ RV and why it’s always a good idea to listen to the Fall...

What is live music anymore? Does an autotuned, canned music high wire stage show even count? I don't really have an opinion on whether it does or does not, but I know for sure one performer one guitar and an audience still matters, no matter what the kids are calling it nowadays and there's still a lot of it to go around.In this week's Otis Brown Podcast, I discuss Jason Isbel, Greg Brown, Ryne Doughty, Samantha Crain, Freakwater and some other poets with guitars who continue to hold my attention. Keywords:Jason Isbel "Tupelo" Greg Brown Ryne Doughty Spring Done SprungSamantha Crain "Elk City"Freakwater Old Paint Adam Carroll "Ricebirds" Townes Van Zandt "Lungs" Jerry Jeff WalkerJohn PrineSussurrus

Insurgent Country. Defiant Roots. Bloodshot Records has put out incredible, timeless music since launching in 1994. From the big names (Old 97s, Ryan Adams) through genre-defining acts (Jon Langford, Robbie Fulks, Kelly Hogan) to uncompromising originals (Laura Jane Grace, Devil in a Woodpile, Freakwater), I’ve always enjoyed what they’ve put out.

Compromise! And the b-side is, well, very jamtastic. Classics IV [41:21] a side: "Spooky" b side: "Poor People" Imperial Records 66259 1967 That is one cool spooky groove.

  Welcome to the April edition of the Aquarium Drunkard podcast, coming in from West of the Rockies. On this program, we explore the late night radio theater of the late Art Bell. The Coast to Coast AM host passed away on Friday, April 13th, and we’ve spent the days since exploring his classic archives. Aquarium Drunkard founder Justin Gage and co-host Jason P. Woodbury sat down to reflect on Bell’s singular voice, dedication to chronicling the unknown, and status as a purveyor of genuine American weirdness. Also on the show, guitarist Nels Cline joins us to discuss his new quartet, the Nels Cline 4, and “Imperfect 10” from the combo’s new Blue Note Records LP, Currents, Constellations. Maybe you know his playing with Wilco, but here he focuses on the notion of “jazz fusion,” which he’s been exploring since the late ‘80s. And we begin the podcast with a discussion with Jaime Fennelly of Mind Over Mirrors. The synthesist and composer just released a masterpiece called Bellowing Sun. It’s cosmic in scope but rooted in the earthy reflections of naturalist writers like Henry Beston, whose 1928 book, The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod, served as a guidepost for the new album. Earlier this month, the album debuted alongside a multi-media installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago featuring a light sculpture modeled after an enormous drum. The suggestions — of biorhythms and universal patterns — are in keeping with Mind Over Mirrors’ space-folk. Though Mind Over Mirrors began as a solo project, it’s very much a group effort now, featuring Janet Bean of Freakwater and Eleventh Dream Day, Jon Mueller of Volcano Choir, and Jim Becker of Califone. The band’s latest, Bellowing Sun, arrives in conjunction with a multi-media installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago featuring an ambitious light sculpture. One of the marvelous things about Mind Over Mirrors is the way the group’s music feels both spacey and earthy. On the new album, which is at turns ecstatic, spooky, and revelatory, Fennelly and company the band maximize that ability, putting the idea of our planet as a cosmic vehicle into context. “I think about [the cosmos] in relation to my own music as being otherworldly, but I also think of it as being grounded, in the way that the Earth is cosmic,” Fennelly says. “It’s not just about the area beyond us or outside of us, in kind of an exploratory sense as well.” On his new album with the Nels Cline 4, Currents, Constellations, guitarist and composer Nels Cline reigns in the conceptual mood music of his previous Blue Note Records release, Lovers, in favor of tight, spiky interplay with guitarist Julian Lage, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Tom Rainey. It’s a record fueled by Cline’s energy, incorporating avant-garde, rock, and blues influences. It is, for lack of a better term, jazz fusion music, which explains why Cline’s initial title for “Imperfect 10” was “Jazz Fusion Composition.” “I definitely chose that term to bother people, particularly people who think they’re cooler than ‘jazz fusion,'” Cline says. “Basically, it’s a meaningless term. It’s a combination of basically whatever. It doesn’t have to mean a combination of jazz and rock and classical and funk…it doesn’t mean the same thing from one person to another, and that’s why it’s a fun word to use. It’s basically a meaningless word that bothers people, which I find linguistically fascinating, but it also, stylistically, does kind of define me.” If you’ve ever been the sort of person content to sit around the radio late at night or scan the airwaves on a long drive through the middle of nowhere, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced the strange radio theater of Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM. Since Bell passed away earlier this month and since his passing, we’ve been tuned into his archives. Here, we reflect on the impact and legacy of Bell’s pioneering program. “Coast to Coast AM felt like this secret handshake between people,” AD’s Justin Gage says. “Not unlike when you find a record or something that means a lot to you, that might be a little esoteric or obscure. Coast to Coast AM definitely kind of felt like that in the late ’90s, early 2000s.” Thanks for listening to the Transmissions podcast.
