Time to give some repsect to Neil Michael Hagerty

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Like the title says. I think it's time to give some major respect to Neil Michael Hagerty. Genius for certain. Picked up the new Howling Hex (CD/DVD You Can't Beat Tomorrow) and am floored. He founded one of the truly grreat bands with Royal Trux and continues to put out genius compositions with Howling Hex. He can so kick any current indie bands ass with his magical powers and wisdom! And damn can he play guitar.
Time to pay respect.

Bowing down. RTX put out some of the best music way back. Not so certain about the new stuff. NMH is talented for sure. Genius? Not sure, but kinda leaning towards a yes. One of the most creative guitarists, songwriters out there right now. And an inspiration I'm sure.

Cuz no one has ever paid him respect here.

not feeling the hex at all. i think it's some of his most banal work in ages.

― michael crumsho (clikatowi), Monday, 14 November 2005 21:13 (twenty years ago)

I disagree. The Hex is where it's at. The new cd/dvd slices and dices all the new rock. NMH knocks that guy from white stripes on his sorry ass.

― michaelg, Tuesday, 15 November 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

I saw the Hex live recently and the blew me away. Totally converted. I'm a believer.

Don't look now, but the Drag City news page already has another Howling Hex cd on the schedule...

― Mike Dixn (Mike Dixon), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

That's great news!

New one is definitely in my top ten, no, top 5, no top THREE of 2005. Clearly a genius. One of the very last of 'em, too, I reckon. I gush about this new one on the "NMH Brings Tha Funk" thread.

― roger, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 09:53 (twenty years ago)

Haven't really got much out of the new one, tho the one before it was sort of a blast. However, the DVDR that came with my promo copy managed to set off the alarm in my local supermarket, thereby nearly getting me done for shoplifting, so that's definitely something

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, a CD-only release called 1-2-3, which I'm hoping is not what I think it is, cuz they charged a fortune for those single LPs under the guise of them being vinyl-only.

― Vic Funk, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

Oh, fuck dude, you're right, that's TOTALLY what it is. That's SO lame. Why do labels DO that?? Is nothing sacred?

Of course I'll still BUY it, but...lame.

― roger, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 12:57 (twenty years ago)

I thought All Night Fox sucked. I wasn't that thrilled with Neil Michael Haggerty - Howling Hex, either. But then I got All Night Fox and I never bothered to get the other one. Now there's yet another one I probably won't get.

― I'm already torn, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 13:51 (twenty years ago)

a CD-only release called 1-2-3

Ha ha ha - shit.

Because most of the songs on the new CD are so short and fragmentary, I think it's really meant to be taken as a "set," for better or worse, with the DVD (or even as a companion piece to seeing the current live show, which it looks like most of us won't get a chance to do).

Something curious is how a few of the new songs (a couple on the CD and one just on the DVD) have lyrics that include the title phrases of the "experimental" numbers from "Section 2." (They sing "Where's the party at, Peaches and Cream? It's been a while," "...hanging by a moment," and "Turn off the light, like a hero living it up.")

Then there's "Apache Energy Plan," which sounds like it could actually be left over from recording the album that had "AEP1," "AEP2," and "Energy Plan."

Altogether, it's more a "piece in the HHX puzzle" (or a weird EP) than a full-fledged "new album." I do wish the songs were fleshed out more (I have a feeling they did a lot of jamming in that room with the clothesline and the video camera), but as a treat for the tail end of the year of the mighty "All Night Fox" -- I'll take it!

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

Mmm, not totally sure where I'm at with YCBT, sure it's better than YogenFruz, but is YogenFruz even worth competing with anymore?
The Victory Chimp interlude is kinda fun, and hey, is that a FRAMED Mr. Miracle comic? Too much Neil-Falsetto and soft guitar. This is his Christopher Cross album, I think. "Apache Energy Plan" is the best song, one of his best solo sides, followed by "Teenage Doors." The "Sick and Old" songs are really sweet, but also controversial.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 21 November 2005 19:09 (twenty years ago)

i haven't seen the DVD yet, but i'm with morris pavilion... this feels more like a puzzle piece than a "new album".
i can't wait to watch the DVD and see how the songs fare live.
"Apache Energy Plan" will surely mislead people. it's the only "song" on the album. "Teenage Doors" and "Sick and Old" are good as well, and "SC Coward" and "Cobra Heart" despite sounding like they were recorded in a washing machine.

i wasn't sure about All-Night Fox at first, but now i really love it. and the LPs have some amazing tracks on them.

YCBT, however, has some stuff on the CD which i doubt will ever grow on me -- i can't imagine ever finding a reason to listen to "Meet Me at the Dance" or the title track, or even "Diamond Tank" despite it's refrain.
i fucking hate Theatre Fire btw and pretty much everyone on Drag City except NMH/Trux/Hex. hopefully he's not picking up any cues from the dire post-rock "quiet is the new loud" whitebread wankery that is polluting record stores across the nation.

― jointchief, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

I think it would be pretty bizarre if NMH started picking up cues at this point.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

yeah, it doesn't seem like something he'd do.

i just hope the next HHX album isn't with Fiery Furnaces or some shit. not that i think it will be, but whatever.

― jointchief, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

Aww, c'mon dude, you KNOW that'd rule

― roj, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

The "Sick and Old" songs are really sweet, but also controversial.

How is that? (You could say "Sick & Old" is controversial for me, because it's the first NMH song I just plain don't like.)

Are the Theatre Fire a "known" band, locally (or otherwise)?

29 altogether.

― Mike Dixn (Mike Dixon), Monday, 28 November 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

It's OK - he'll just leave off all the short, catchy songs!

Seriously, though, a CD made up of most of the first record and the "normal" songs from the second two (I'm just guessing) would be aces.

Dig his new publicity photo - such a sensitive soul...

Mike, you beat me out again! (Just came here to post that.)

I've been listening to "YCBT" a lot more than I thought I would (a few tracks almost every night, right before bed). It's very comfortable and lulling, doesn't "demand" attention, and sounds good in the background... all of which actually make it different from most other NMH things.

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Thursday, 12 January 2006 22:41 (twenty years ago)

The first of the limited LPs is so so SO so good.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 12 January 2006 22:48 (twenty years ago)

The CD cover looks sort of like a "jigsaw puzzle of the three LP covers" kind of thing - I wonder if there'll be some remixing/crossfading/excerpting going on?

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Thursday, 12 January 2006 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Are there any songs as good as "Some People Are Crazy" or "Rockslide" on the Howling Hex records (apart from "Apache Energy Plan" on the new album)?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Sunday, 15 January 2006 21:32 (twenty years ago)

As alluded to above, 1-2-3 is a reissue of material only issued on vinyl, in limited editions of 500, way back in 2003 and 2004. Since all of those have long since disappeared into the mercenary hands of collectors, the fickle hands of fans are offered this CD version, which contains almost all the material, in almost all the same versions (but definitively not the same sequence).

Time to ask for some respect back from Neil Michael Hagerty.

JUST KIDDING. I have grown to like YCBT a lot more over the last month, but I still think his best thing from 2005 was his book. It's surprisingly great.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 20:23 (twenty years ago)

Especially his essay about Wings, the tv show, not the band.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 25 January 2006 20:23 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that's the best thing in there -- I pulled it off the shelf to re-read that recently. (I even tried watching a few minutes of "Wings," a show a remember hating, and -- no.)

The Japanese CDs should both have lyric sheets (I know "All Night Fox" does), which may be neat to have.

Yep, I already found it:
These days, he picks up musicians from wherever. Locals in New Mexico, folks Drag City recommends, that sort of thing. "I want this band to play pieces that are composed such that anybody on any level of ability can come in and contribute."

― Mike Dixn (Mike Dixon), Thursday, 28 September 2006 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

it clears it up for me. dude lives in a remote corner of new mexico, plays music with people around there. to me, having been there (and going back this december), the music he's doing now very evocative of the way cultures and peoples blend in unexpected and weird ways in border areas of the southwest. anglo, mexican, indian, whatever-an.

"Take every bad idea that rock's ever produced, put it all into songs and then use a contemporary rock producer from 1996 to mix it in a complete middle-of-the-road rock way."

I honestly can't read this as anything other than a PeeWee Herman-style "I meant to do that" joke. I always take artists' rationalizations of their own work to be contrived and self-serving, there's a natural tendency to dishonesty and misdirection there, for a number of reasons.

I just got an email:
People,
We're feeling a little generous this week, we've got quite a helping of activities to keep you cultured, educated and intoxicated.
Take for instance, this rare and compelling opportunity given to you by the artisan known as Neil Michael Hagerty. Besides inventing new border sounds for The Howling Hex in his adobe desert house, he also makes scenes in the painted realm. Several of these scenes adorn the cover of The Howling Hex releases — but for a few weeks they will also adorn the walls of The Orphanage Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. Four Hagerty originals will be part of a group show in Los Angeles kicking off on Thursday, September 28th and running until October 11th.

that's retarded.

― hstencil, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:32 (eighteen years ago)

It isn't an automatic 'lame' thing to have a bass with more than four strings - look at Tom Peterson, dude. I admit, the negative connotations are overwhelming, but if ol' Neil was living in Lameland commissioned by the Lame Police to make a Lame Record under threat of being electrocuted with the Magic Lame Stick, he'd still make the best album of the year, just like he's been doing for the past few years.

― Manalishi, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:37 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, I didn't say it was an automatic lame thing. I think I actually like some ugly modern guitars like Steinbergers and stuff. I was just wondering if there actually IS something deliberately perverse in Hagerty choosing that thing.

hstencil, you don't even like Stratocasters! Do you like that bass?

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

(And don't get all contentious with me plz!)

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

i think i would like to HEAR HIM PLAY THE BASS before i make any judgements, tim!

my friend karen in clockcleaner plays one and it sounds just fine.

― hstencil, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:59 (eighteen years ago)

i don't necessarily all-the-time hate on stratocasters, just not my favorite. i don't like to trade in absolutes.

― hstencil, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

I cannot help seeing that thing and wondering why, though.

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

(And, yes, it ties in for me w/ the whole issue I've talked about before re. Royal Trux/Hagerty as perversity, satire, etc.)

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

Maybe it's just a mix of Hagerty wanting to back away from the guitar god image he has, while also wanting to sincerely investigate other stringed instruments. Then again, it might be more of the latter, because it's not like Hagerty is revered the way Clapton is. I mean, he isn't that popular. I don't think it's really anything more than that.

― QuantumNoise, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

karen in clockcleaner plays one and it sounds just fine.

Well, as opposed to "sounds fantastic," "sounds really great," "sounds rad," etc., though.

― bb, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

Again, not objecting to ugly modern guitars in principle. If someone has a real sonic purpose in mind as to why they'd want to use one, I'm certainly open to it. (I would imagine, for example, that New Order would have a real sonic purpose in mind in choosing a bass sound.)

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:35 (eighteen years ago)

lets just be glad the thing still has frets on it...

― bb, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Tim, you might just have to call the dude up and ask him, "Is the six-string bass an ironic postmodern thing or not?" What he says will probably be the best answer you get.

― QuantumNoise, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

why else would someone pick up a new instrument unless they had a "sonic purpose"?!? You worry about artistic intent to much Tim.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

and haha as I noted upthread, I wouldn't trust ANYTHING Haggerty sez

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)

You worry about artistic intent to much Tim.

No idea how that is meant.

So, the people in New Order have the same sense of sonic purpose in choosing equipment as...I don't know Clockcleaner or someone?

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

and haha as I noted upthread, I wouldn't trust ANYTHING Haggerty sez

what has he done to totally destroy his credibility? sure, he might seem cryptic at times, but as far as music goes, he seems fairly sincere and earnestly devoted to following his muse. This whole RTX-can't-be-trusted-irony-postmodern thing seems blown out of proportion, in my opinion.

― QuantumNoise, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

Also: I'm not "worried" about anything here, Shakey Mo. I see him playing a six string bass, it strikes me as something not too inspiring (esp. given the last two albums of his I've heard), I wonder why, and I comment about it on teh ILM.

― Tim Ellison, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

There are videos of recent live and in-studio footage up on howlinghex.com. It looks to me like Neil's pretty much playing bass like a guitar - fast strumming, chords. The curly haired guy that's been playing guitar in the Howling Hex for a while seems to have pretty decent noodle-chops, so Neil's switch to bass was possibly a practical decision - SOMEONE's got to hold down the bottom, and he's already got a sax player and two drummers. Bringing another body on the road cuts into the bottom line. If there's any artistic intent to be divined from the decision, it may be to make the Howling Hex seem more like a 'band' than a solo project. In the a couple of the video clips, some of the other guys are singing lead.
The little snippets of new stuff sounds pretty good. After "Firebase Ripchord", I'd always hoped he'd use more honking horns.

― Mike Dixn, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 14:51 (eighteen years ago)

and according to Drag City, the new album will be called 'Howling Hex XI' (I did the math, and that number is indeed correct if you count the first three NMH albums) and will be available on cd and lp sometime in 2007.
