SLACK ALBUM ROOLZ

― identity theftor (deangulberry), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

There was a very little-well known hip-hop duo in the early 90s that made loops out of S&E and rapped over it. I had the tape many long blue moons ago.

YOU NEED IT BUT YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY.

ALTHOUGH YOU OWN THE PAVEMENT DVD SO I DUNNO.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 28 October 2004 20:47 (twenty-one years ago)

It's $12.99-$13.99 at your favorite stores. Great packaging (Thick art/text heavy booklet with notes from Gerard Cosloy, MLAKMUSH and Scott Kanbourgie). Of the 80 minutes on the bonus disc, about an hour is worthwhile* (esp: The Peel Session tacked on to the end is great to have in proper fidelity). They did leave one song from this era off the disc which may upset the completists: the untitled instrumental b-side of the "Cut Your Hair" 12". *A couple dirgy jams in the same vein as "Haunt You Down"/"Jam Kids". One of them ("Dark Ages") I've heard before but I can't remember how.

TURNING JAPANESE
as recorded by The Vapors

Entry Date: November 15, 1980
Highest Chart Position: #36 (US)
Weeks On Chart: 3

For you early 80s buffs (like myself), here's a little one-hit
wonder from our youth. The song is currently available on EMI's
"Living In Oblivion: The Best of the 80's Volume One" and
Priority Records' "Rock of the 80s Volume 3." Enjoy!
--DanAmrich@aol.com

FOR ONE GUITAR

The opening starts with a teriyaki-flavored riff like so:

E --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
B --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
G ---------------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------------------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------

The bass can either double the high-E string line on its low E at
the 15h fret, or better yet, detune the bass' E to D and play:

E(D) ---5--5--5--5--3--3--0--0--3--------------------------------

The verse riff is as follows (don't forget the nice rhythmic
stops in here, 'cause that's what gives the song that "hook"):

G Em

E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12--------13-12-------------------------------------------
G --12-12--------------12----14-14-------------------------------
D --12-12--12-12-------------14-14-----12-13-14------------------
A --10-10--------------------14-14--14---------------------------
E ---------------------------12-12-------------------------------

This is the main riff and gets played under the "I've got your
picture" lyrics, until "I sit there starin' and there's nothing
else to do" which features this:

A C D

E ----------------------------------
B --2-----5--7----------------------
G --2-----5--7----------------------
D --2-----5--7----------------------
A --0-----3--5----------------------
E ----------------------------------
A C D

I see you star-in' and there's noth-ing I can do

Next time around (after "I often kiss you when there's no one
else around"), this is added:

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --2----5--7---------------------------------------------------
G --2----5--7------5--9--7--5--5--9--9--7--7--------------------
D --2----5--7---5--5--9--7--5--5--9--9--7--7--------------------
A --0----3--5---5--3--7--5--3--3--7--7--5--5--------------------
E --------------3-----------------------------------------------

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12-12----------------------------------------------------
G --12-12-12---5--9--7--5--5--9--7--------------7-7-7-7-5-5-2-5-
D --12-12-12---5--9--7--5--5--9--7--------------7-7-7-7-5-5-2-5-
A --10-10-10---3--7--5--3--3--7--5--------------5-5-5-5-3-3-0-3-
E --------------------------------------------------------------

..and back into the main riff. Granted, that jump to the barred
G at the 10th fret is a big one, but that's how it is on the
record, and with a little practice, it can be done. If you have
trouble, or if you wanna squeeze a second guitar in there, play
that G as a power chord on the 3rd fret instead of/in addition to
the 10th barre.

For the refrain, play this:

E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--------------
G --12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--------------
D --12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--------------
A --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
Turning Japanese... ...I really

E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B ---------------------------------------------------------------
G --12----12-----------------------------------------------------
D --12----12-----------12-10-9-----------------------------------
A --12----12------9-12---------12--------------------------------
E --10----10---10------------------------------------------------
think so...

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------
G --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------
D --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------
A ---8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
Turning Japanese... ...I really

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------
G --10----10----------------------------------------------------
D --10----10------------10-9-7----------------------------------
A --10----10------7-10---------10-------------------------------
E ---8-----8----8-----------------------------------------------
think so...

Play that twice, then this:

G F# F F# G C E D C E D

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B ----(a quick down/up/down strum)------------------------------
G --------------------------------------5--9--7--5--5--9--7-----
D ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--5--9--7--5--5--9--7-----
A ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--3--7--5--3--3--7--5-----
E ---3-3-3--2-2-2--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3--------------------------

D C A C

E --------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------
G ------------------------7--7--7--7--5--5--2--5----------
D ------------------------7--7--7--7--5--5--2--5----------
A ------------------------5--5--5--5--3--3--0--3----------
E --------------------------------------------------------
I've got your...

The bridge after the second verse ("No sex, no drugs, etc") is
basically the same chord structure as the main riff, with a
rhythm change. The drum beat (hi-hat, actually) is on
"sex...drugs...wine...women" but the chord is played with
upstrokes on the word "no."

E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
G -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
D -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
A -----------10--------10-------10-------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women...
Follow the same G - D - F - C chord pattern with that new rhythm
up to "everyone..." Then kick into the refrain and leave out the
full D and C riffs -- that space is taken up by the keyboard
chime sounds. You can throw in harmonics to fill the keyboard
gap, if you like. Over the "space" of the D, the following works
kinda nice:

D (Natural Harmonics)

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B -----------------------7--------------------------------------
G --10--10------------7-----7-----------------------------------
D --10--10-----12--7-----------7-------12-----------------------
A --10--10-------------------------12---------------------------
E ---8---8------------------------------------------------------

think so Turning Japanese...

I haven't found any harmonics that sound nice over the C chord,
but a pickslide will do in the meantime. Those of you with
tremelo prowess might want to divebomb on an F chord there. Just
a thought.

The solo is a little tricky at first, but worth it when executed
properly. It's played over the refrain riff.

E --12--10--12--10---7--10---7--7--5--5--3--5-------------------
B --12--10--12--10---8--10---8--8--7--7--5--7-------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------

E --5--3--5--3---0--3-------------------------------------------
B --6--5--6--5---1--5----1--3--5--7--8--10--12------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------

It's repeated twice, then back into the original refrain. It
sneaks in one more time near the end of the song; you'll hear it.

The end of the song is a variant of the riff after the 1st
refrain with a mega-cold ending:

G F# F F# G F# F

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B ----(a quick down/up/down strum)------------------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3-3----------
A ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3-3----------
E ---3-3-3--2-2-2--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3--2-2-2--1-1-1-1----------
FOR TWO GUITARS

The whole song is actally done by TWO guitars (you can tell
because they're stereo panned left and right) so the above
arrangement is correct for ONE guitar. A more accurate
transcription for two guitars (if you really want it) is:

E --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
B --------------------------------------------------(Guitar One)
G ---------------------------------------------------------------
D --12-12-12-12-10-10--7--7-10---12-12-12-12-10-10--7--7-10------
A --------------------------------------------------(Guitar Two)-
E ---------------------------------------------------------------

The second guitar (left channel) basically reinforces the riff
guitar by playing the same structure with power chords, or barre
chords with all downstrokes, all an octave or two lower, so it
sounds very aggressive.

The "lead" guitar can do this at the end:

E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------
G -------12--11--10--11--12--11--10-10-10-10--------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------

Other than playing the rhythm part under the solo, that, just
split up the one-guitar transcription as you see fit, really.

THE LYRICS

V1
I've got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote "I love you"
I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do

V2
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around

V3
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and
turning 'round
REFRAIN
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

V3
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them over myself
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and
turning 'round

REFRAIN
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

BRIDGE
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
Everyone

REFRAIN
That's why I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I
really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think
so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

GUITAR SOLO

REFRAIN
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
(think so think so think so)
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so

So in short, it's a song about a guy who's obsessed with a
woman's photo and, like the Japanese tourist stereotype, wants to
take lots of pictures of her. That's all. The 80s weren't too
heavy on lyrics. :)

"LET'S AGREE ON PAVEMENT FANS"

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Monday, 19 June 2006 20:17 (nineteen years ago)

the summer after high school graduation, i had a radio show at a small college station that basically just handed out slots to anyone who wanted them because they'd shut down during the summer otherwise. anyway, each week i had a special feature called the "pavement song of the week." the kid i co-hosted the show with would play, like, martin denny and red sovine.

OMG I listened to CRCR (the extended dealie) last night, it actually kinda rocked. It goes well with rum buzz.

― mummy wrapped in bacon (nickalicious), Tuesday, 20 June 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

I believe it was CRCR that my bar-owner friend heard some Gen Y-er refer to a couple years ago as "that college album."
