THALIA's BIO Guitarist/vocalist Thalia Zedek began playing in bands and recording soon after moving to Boston from Washington D.C. in 1979. In 1986, Thalia's 3rd band, Uzi, released an EP on Homestead Records called “Sleep Asylum” which was later reissued by Gerard Cosloy on Matador Records in 1993. After Uzi broke up Thalia joined established noise rock band Live Skull on lead vocals and relocated to New York. She recorded 2 albums and an EP with them before returning to Boston and founding the band Come in 1991. Come released 4 albums and numerous EP's and singles on the Matador, Sub Pop, Domino, Glitterhouse and Placebo labels. Their full catalogue is currently being reissued on Fire Records. In 2001 Thalia started releasing solo records under her own name, first on Matador and Kimchee Records and then on the Thrill Jockey label where she continues as an active recording artist to this day. In addition to her solo work Thalia also records and performs with the Thalia Zedek Band and her newer band E, a trio that she started in 2013 with Jason Sanford of Neptune.

In April, Yo La Tengo's landmark 1997 album I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One celebrated its 25th anniversary. In this latest episode of our Matador Revisionist History podcast, the band – Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew – joins label co-owner Gerard Cosloy to discuss the record's history and singular standing within the YLT oeuvre. “We know this is considered a key part of the arc,” explains Kaplan. “If we're at the merch table and somebody is asking, ‘I don't have any of your records, which one should I get?' we know this is the right answer. Whether we feel that way or not, we know we're supposed to recommend this record.” Further reminiscences include the origin of The Condo Fucks, how a fake Brian Brain tribute album spiraled into real-life drama, and why the working title of “The Lie and How We Told It” was “The Hard Singing Song.”

Homestead Records était un sous-label de Dutch East India Trading Dutch East India Trading a été crée en 1983 par Barry Tenenbaum Il a commencé adolescent, depuis sa chambre en important des disques des Beatles et d'autres artistes d'Angleterre qu'il revendait aux États-Unis. Petit à petit, il a mis en place un vaste réseau de distribution, qu'il appelé Dutch East India Trading. Lorsque la loi sur le droit d'auteur de 1976 a restreint sa capacité d'importer des artistes qui avaient déjà des labels américains, il a commencé à octroyer des licences pour les disques labels et il a créé Homestead Records à cette fin. Sam Berger, qui a travaillé pour Dutch East, est devenu le premier manager du nouveau label il a rapidement quitté Homestead en 1984 et il sera remplacé par Gerard Cosloy, le créateur du fanzine d'art underground Conflict. Gerard Cosloy dirigera un long moment label et marquera Homestead de son empreinte. Un label principalement consacré à la production de musique expérimentale et considéré comme un des principaux acteurs du lancement du noise rock. Par manque d'argent et aussi à cause de sa réputation sulfureuse le label a mis la clef sous la porte en 96 avec comme dernière sortie Cama de Terra d'Ivo Perelman. Même si Homestead Records était connu pour ne pas payer ses artistes et pour ne pas dépenser de l'argent sur la promotion, il fut un découvreur de talents de la musique alternative américaine en sortant notamment le premier album de Dinosaur Jr, les trois premiers albums de Sebadohet le deuxième album de Sonic Youth. Le label était aussi présent aux débuts de la scène de Seattle avec Green River et Screaming Trees et aussi sortis les disques des figures de proue du free-jazz new-yorkais avec David S. Ware et William Parker.

    John Schooley duets with punk rock harmonica player Walter Daniels in an empty shopping mall. This is Dead Mall Blues and it's one awesome recording. Recorded back in 2014 it features John Schooley on resonator guitar and Walter Daniels on harmonica. It's an eclectic mix up of reworked classic blues tunes from way back. The cover artwork is a collection of photographs of "dead malls". It's really thought provoking and eerie to see the malls with no people milling about in them. It sort of sets the tone for the record really. The music certainly has a haunting quality and a theme of empty space runs through the recording. It was really difficult to pick just one track to feature on today's show, the LP is just brimming with belting tunes. We've been lucky enough to catch up with John Schooley, so read on to find out more about this unique recording and the man himself. More stuff you'll learn today We're also introducing you to The Rezillos by way of a back to back Double Cover Shot. Two classics from the late '70s punk explosion, but covers of far earlier recordings from the rock 'n' roll era. The Rezillos are touring in the UK during 2020 so if this was for you then get your tickets for their brilliant live shows. Really tight band and still as good as they were back in the day. New Music from Tobin this week is French for Rabbits which inspires Richard to imagine the day when he might mastermind a supergroup. It's material that you can subscribe to via our Patreon site for just $1 per month. Your generosity would help us continue broadcasting and expanding. Whether or not you donate we are just glad that you are here. Bookending the show this week is SAULT and they've really got Tobin in a spin. So much so that he's gone right ahead and purchased their two studio releases on vinyl. Sadly, we're not playing off of the vinyl this week, but we will do so in the future without doubt. Toucan and Bones Shake both feature in our ongoing "Guess where the band comes from" game and Tobin fails on both accounts. BIG NEWS - STOP PRESS We are announcing some big news for From the Bottom of the Record Box on this week's show. So, get your headphones on, ignore the outside world and come on in. Champe Tabluo by Systema Solar set the tone for the announcement, and their Colombian heritage is the perfect stage to break the news. Over SAULT Champe Tabluo Systema Solar Glad All Over The Rezillos I Like It The Rezillos We Fell For Miles Toucan Uncloudy Day John Schooley and Walter Daniels C'mon Get It On Bones Shake Middle of the House French for Rabbits Masterpiece SAULT John Schooley in his own words I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and my first musical influences were guitar-based roots music like blues and country music. I later combined this with punk rock when I finally heard it. I've been playing this sort of rock n' roll (for want of a better term) for going on 20 years. My first record was a super lo-fi 45 on Goner Records as a one man band. My first band was the Revelators who had an LP on Crypt Records. That label that put out the Back from the Grave 1960s garage reissues, and bands such as the Gories and Oblivians. Whilst in the Revelators I was lucky enough to do some touring with R.L. Burnside and T. Model Ford. Luckily I got to play onstage backing up R.L., which was a huge thrill for me as I was (and remain) a big R.L. fan. There are some clips of me playing with R.L. here. After the Revelators I had three LPs as a one man band on Swiss label Voodoo Rhythm, which had a similar mix of blues, country, and punk rock. There was also other weird shit as we had in the Revelators, except I played all the instruments myself. So I've always had one foot in noisy punk and garage rock, and one in roots based music. Usually, too punk for the roots rockers and too rootsy for the punks! Europe meets John Schooley One review of my last one man band album described it as "CharliePoole meets Metal Machine Music". I thought that was great, but you can understand it probably has a limited appeal. A radio show in Canada did a whole set of my covers of blues and roots tunes, along with the originals, which I posted on my blog. I toured a lot in Europe as a one man band as the records, being Swiss imports, were hard to find in the states. So it seems like fewer people in my own country know who I am than in Germany, Holland, or Switzerland. The Revelators actually did a reunion show in Spain two years ago. People there still remember the band. After three one man band LPs I was tired of the one man band setup and wanted to do something different. My newest LP is as Rocket 808, which I would describe as Suicide and Alan Vega solo records meets Link Wray. Dead Mall Blues - John Schooley & Walter Daniels The Dead Mall Blues album is an acoustic record that I made with Walter Daniels. Walter is a friend I've known for years. We actually first recorded together back in the late 1990s with the Revelators. He's also done records with bands like the Oblivians, and even James Williamson of the Stooges. Walter's 1990s band Jack O' Fire was in the same ballpark as my band the Revelators. They both combined blues and punk rock, which at the time was pretty uncommon. I slept on Walter's floor the first time I came to Austin when on tour, and later ended up moving here. So, I've been a fan of Walter for ages, and as a punk rock harmonica player, he's a pretty unique musician. Here's Jack O' Fire's version of the Blind Willie McTell tune You Got to Meet Death One Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztQjP-XcvAE Life after Dead Mall Blues After the acoustic record, we did an electric LP with the band name Meet Your Death taken from this song. In 2014 I got a new job that paid a living wage, and my landlord had yet to raise my rent, so I had enough money laying around to do some recording. Walter had never been recorded in an acoustic context, he usually plays feedback-laden electric harmonica. Walter and I were both big fans of acoustic blues and played it a lot, but had never done a record like that. Gerard Cosloy of 12XU records was willing to put it out, for which I am eternally grateful, even though his label did more post-punk stuff and wasn't exactly a blues and roots kinda outfit. I did a post on my blog talking about the records that influenced the album Even more time had elapsed between 2014 when the Dead Mall Blues album was recorded and the 1960s, when many of the records mentioned in that blog post were made, than had elapsed between the 1960s and when the original blues records were recorded, which was interesting to me. I went with the title Dead Mall Blues because I wanted something contemporary rather than retreading the usual tired blues cliches. Using the mall photos on the cover made me think of the record as being like an acoustic vaporwave album! (Haha)

When Damian sat down with Jennifer Herrema (Half of the legendary duo Royal Trux), he had no clue they would spend the whole time talking about first wave DC hardcore, but this is a perfect example of the power of punk & ultimately the point of this show. Join Damian in his stunned joy as they discuss how the noise & chaos of hardcore informed Jennifer’s musical sensibility & life in general. NOT TO BE MISSED!!!! Check out Royal Trux's godly new album, White Stuff on Fat Possum now!  Also Touched On: Shout Out To Tony Reitmen Hanging with Iron Cross at the age of 12 Olson’s Books and Records with Sab and Tesco Vee working the door Wandering through George Town and looking at fliers Anna and Cynthia Connolly Hanging out with Void Pussy Galore  Always against straight edge Dante and Sab were wild!

The guys take a quiet journey with Gerard Cosloy, co-founder of Matador Records and founder of 12XU records, down a rabbit hole of bad, cancelled TV sitcoms, Don Rickles lesser known works, and a case of bargain beer that was politely turned down by legendary band, The Fall. This one's a slow burn.

Matador Records est un label indépendant que Chris Lombardi a créé dans son appartement new yorkais en 89. Il sort l’EP « and there was light » d’HP Zinker en 90, suivi de l’EP de Dustdevils, puis du 1er album Superchunk. En 91, Gerard Cosloy rejoindra Lombardi. Leur collaboration dure toujours à l’heure actuelle. Avant d’arriver chez Matador, Gerard Cosloy était l’ancien manager du label Homestead Records qui a entre autre hébergé des artistes comme Sonic Youth, Daniel Johnston ou GG Allin. Matador connaîtra son 1er succès médiatique et commercial en 90 en sortant le 1er album de Teenage Fan Club : « A Catholic Eduction ». En 1993, le label commence un partenariat avec Atlantic Records qui durera une paire d’années. Capitol possèdera un temps des parts dans le label, revendu depuis. Depuis 2002, Matador est copossédé avec Beggars Group, et opère à présent aussi bien à New York qu’à Londres. En 2010, Matador a organisé une série de concerts à Las Vegas pour fêter son 21ème anniversaire. Lors de cet événement de nombreux artistes ont exprimé leur admiration pour Matador. Notamment Damian Abraham a dit que Matador leur a donné de la crédibilité en tant que groupe, que c’était un des plus grand label indé de tous les temps. Ira Kaplan dira "C’est dur à raconter sans avoir recours à des clichés, mais pour moi, Matador aime vraiment la musique". Ses louanges prouvent l’importance du label dans la musique indépendante.
