Del Close is an unsung hero of American comedy; in the 1950s, he was one of the early members of the St. Louis branch of the Compass Players, a theater troupe that would relocate from St.
Louis to Chicago and in time change its name to the Second City, and after a few years in New York City, he returned to Chicago and Second City, becoming a cast member and later director of the company. Close also led an improv group at the nightclub Kingston Mines, and became a teacher and mentor to the likes of John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and John Candy, many of whom have sung his praises as a key inspiration on their work.
King of fighters 98 psx rom. While Close (who died in 1999) never became a star in his own right, he worked steadily as an actor and standup comic and cut a pair of fascinating comedy albums, which have been paired up on this CD reissue from Cherry Red's humor subsidiary Wisecrack Records. 1959's How to Speak Hip teamed him with fellow comic John Brent, who plays brain-cloudy beatnik Geets Romo, while Close is the relative straight man who interviews Geets about the finer points of hipster speech patterns while instructing the listener on how to embrace the language of cool. Beatnik humor was probably going out of date before this album made its way to record racks, but the banter between the laid-back but paranoid Geets and his often uncomprehending interviewer is very well played, and the comics both suggest a genuine familiarity with the hipster milieu, joking about a circle they've traveled in rather than lobbing spitballs from outside.
The album has also gained a certain cult following thanks to Brian Wilson, who according to more than one source was a fan of the LP who liked to drop Geets' line 'Then we'll get, you know, world peace' as a non-sequitur joke, though you don't have to be a Beach Boys obsessive to enjoy it in the 21st century. The Wisecrack release also includes a solo LP by Close, The Do It Yourself Psychoanalysis Kit, released earlier the same year, in which he portrays Dr. Siegfried Gestalt, a high-strung psychiatrist with a comic-opera Teutonic accent who on side one explains the process of analysis and asks the listener a number of pointed questions, and on side two features a therapy session with a certain Danish prince made famous by William Shakespeare. The jokes about therapy have dated about as well as the stuff about beatniks, but Psychoanalysis Kit gives Close a broader canvas for his comic stylings, and it's smart and witty stuff that still generates laughter almost half-a-century after it was recorded. Fans of classic comedy albums will certainly want to pick this up, and anyone with a weakness for the thinking person's cultural phenomena of the '50s will, like, dig it. Mark Deming.

Contents. Description The album is designed as a satire of language-learning records, where the secret language of the ' is treated as a foreign language. Part of the joke, however, is that it actually does a good job of describing the / sub-culture: Basic concepts such as 'cool' and 'uncool' are taught, as well as vocabulary building ('dig', 'dig it', 'dig yourself, baby', 'dig the chick', 'dig the cat', 'What a drag!' Many of the phrases and expressions survived to become elements of the vocabulary. Social notes are presented as for many language courses, and later in the album, the teacher (Close) is taken on field trips into the secret life of the hipster (Brent).
However, the hipster rebels against participating in the teaching tool, leading to a humorously compromised teaching style. Title Length 1.

The album came with a booklet expanding on the concepts discussed in the album, providing a supplementary reading list, and so on. The album was illustrated in a style of line drawing popular throughout the 50s (similar to the early commercial work of Andy Warhol). The used as illustrations on the were stolen from Close's apartment in the 1980s.
Context An interest with hipster slang had been present in the mainstream culture since the late-30s/1940s when jazz music became a popular form. Released a recording of a song called the 'Hepsters Dictionary' in 1938 (along with a published booklet). In the film from 1947 the 'straight' Nick and Nora have trouble following the jargon of the jazz musicians in the story. During the 1950s, as people became conscious of the phenomena, amid fears of juvenile delinquency, there was an increased urgency to understand the language spoken by the new youth culture.
Influences can be heard fondly mentioning this album in the box set during the highlights of the recording sessions of the album on 'Hang on to your Ego' take 2 on; a full working title for the album's track ' was 'Let's Go Away For Awhile (And Then We'll Have World Peace),' the parenthetical being an allusion to the album.

Tinsley Ellis - Speak No Evil (2009) EAC FLAC Image (Cue&Log) 383 Mb Mp3 (CBR320) 125 Mb Scans 63 Mb Blues-Rock, Modern Electric Blues Label: Alligator # ALCD 4932 00:54:40 Tinsley Ellis has worked hard since the early 1980s to establish himself on the contemporary blues scene. As a result, he has become one of the most consistent, and therefore quintessential, electric blues men. Ellis is a an excellent guitar player and a terrific showman. He's a good songwriter in that he stretches the blues form as far as it will go, and occasionally he crosses into solid hard rock territory. On Speak No Evil, it seems as though Ellis has been listening to some of Robin Trower's early to mid-period records.
That's not a bad thing: Trower is one of the great modern bluesmen who has been remarkably consistent over the decades, and he is one of the more astonishingly soulful guitar heroes alive. What seems to be at work on Speak No Evil is Ellis trying to push the blues form in a decidedly more rockist direction without losing its emotional feel. Pinnacle studio 11 pal patch. And he's done his job.

Check out the opening track, 'Sunlight of Love' With its hard-driven wah-wah pedals and funky backbeat; one can easily imagine this track on Trower's Twice Removed from Yesterday – Ellis even apes vocalist James Dewar's vocal phrasing. It's a killer track and a sheer surprise, – especially with a B-3 providing such a powerful atmospheric backdrop in the power trio format.
