i don't expect a lot of replies here, but I was wondering if anyone had the tracklist to the Flower Travellin bootleg LP from '95, it's called From Pussies To Death...even the number of tracks would help. Appreciate it greatly!

This band is SO good it is ridiculous, how good is this band?

I'd forgotten how completely sad Cities on Flame had become since dude got sick. I used a few of the choons he posted in my podcast, so I sent him a couple get well postcards, but it felt really trite.

Sorry, total derail.

Flower Travellin' Band rock my skeez &c.

Ian - Made in Japan is almost as good - not as heavy / relentless / monstrous throughout, but great songs, killer jams. One of the best bands ever, for sure

― Juan Milius (Roger Fidelity), Monday, 20 November 2006 00:19 (nineteen years ago)

eh .. they're pretty great but certainly no "best band ever"; Blues Creation better than them, for one. that said, yeah I love "Made in Japan" .. I love that one more than "Satori" even..

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 20 November 2006 05:15 (nineteen years ago)

blues creation? i don't know, man, satori crushes. demon and eleven children is GREAT, of course, but most days i'd choose satori as the classickest.

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Monday, 20 November 2006 05:17 (nineteen years ago)

they are both great ... just a personal preference but I like "Demon and Eleven" bettah..

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 20 November 2006 05:38 (nineteen years ago)

Funny - just listened to Blues Creation's Live! for the first time in ages last night, mostly to load it into the iPod. Good record, man. Good band. No Flower Travelin' Band, though.

i just saw an original record called something like Flower Traveling Band with Joe. who was this Joe character and was the music any different with him? was he really black or did he just have a sick permed fro? i believe one of the songs was Satori. could it have been a collection?

here's video w/him in it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjiglBu6nyc

― jaxon, Monday, 9 April 2007 06:38 (eighteen years ago)

he was the singer for FTB on satori, i'm pretty sure, if not all of their post-yuya uchida stuff. i think - i think - he had a solo career at some point; maybe the record was a mix of his stuff and FTB stuff?

is this it, btw?

i'm pretty sure he was just a japanese guy with a fro, btw.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Monday, 9 April 2007 07:13 (eighteen years ago)

bumping to say i still find make-up kinda dull, except for "hiroshima." and that does go on a bit.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

it definitely looked like the photo on the Times cover, but w/o the fake magazine layout. and maybe on a white background. it was definitely at least $35 and possibly upwards of $75, so i passed on it.

― jaxon, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 17:13 (eighteen years ago)

this thread inspired me to pull out satori yesterday; still the only flower travellin band record i own though.

― ian, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

was he really black or did he just have a sick permed fro?

This such a "jaxon" question! ;)

― admrl, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

it's just he looks so much like this blipster kid in SF

My japanese coworker Hiromi told me that Joe was the son of an American GI and a Japanese woman. She also said he went on to a very lucrative solo reggae career post FTB.

the "engrish" doggerel lyrics are pretty potent.

should i get that japrocksampler book? i found the krautrocksampler book irritating.

― figuratively, but in a very real way (amateurist), Friday, 20 November 2009 18:45 (sixteen years ago)

I liked it, but I also liked kraurocksampler and Cope's writing generally.

You should check out the next FTB album MADE IN JAPAN. Not quite as good as Satori, but still really awesome (especially "Kamikaze").

― Trip Maker, Friday, 20 November 2009 19:29 (sixteen years ago)

weird, I was JUST listening to satori

was pouring buckets this morning, then stopped, and now... sun shines ev'ry day

love this record so much. other ftb stuff is cool and all, but satori's special. like it more than most black sabbath, maybe any black sabbath. that's probably a product of hearing too much black sabbath tho...

i like the bo diddley drum breakdowns on satori.
