That's a duet between the Duke and his ace bassist Jimmy Blanton.
That goes something like this:
This post is about something very different.
Very.
Gary Panter is better known as an artist and illustrator who is long involved in the Residents/Ralph Records sphere. So it will come as little or no surprise that the Residents ably abet Mr. Panter in this particular seven inches of avant wonderment.
You, dear record enthusiast, may also recognize quite a bit of Panter's commercial album artwork
The other cool as fuck thing about it is that the sleeve is actually a large foldout poster.
(I couldn't find an online picture of the actual poster, but trust me.)
I have plans on getting myself a second copy someday to have one I can frame and hang proudly on my wall. It's of a robot playing a guitar.
I'd make space for that.
Action (2000)
"Panter, Paul & Lara"
that's probably a much better play on words.
Oh Well.
Choices were made and we must live with them.
As it is, I'm simply biding my time while some bolognese simmers for an appropriate amount of delicious time and random play on the music player thinks this is a good night to sort through the terabytes of material to play multiple tracks by the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Wanda Jackson.
Oh yeah, this single. Hunger has me kind of mentally wandering off into the woods.
It's on Kitteridge records (1999-2006) which was label that I'm looking to pick up everything on because I haven't been disappointed yet. They've been gone so long all the links on the website point to Myspace. Sad. (though I may have to poke around and see if I can score some NOS titles on the cheap direct from them.)
I also actually have two copies of this because I found a cheap copy and had forgotten I already had one. But at least I have both the green and the blue unreadable covers now.
Apparently this sibling duo also released a full length as Layton.
My wantlist grows one full length compact disc longer.
I had the robot guitar poster on my teenage bedroom wall (unframed). My parents threw out all my music and movie posters after I left for college. I still needle them about it. Fortunately I found another copy of Gary Panter's single a few years ago. Would love to frame and hang it, but I suspect the wife would be less enthused about it.
ReplyDeleteAlso had one of Gary Panter's posters for Ralph Records' Buy Or Die series, and a Buy Or Die t-shirt. Talented man.
