BP FALLON'S WANG DANG DOODLE INTO 2007

AULD LANG SYNE: FOUR HOURS OF RADIO RAMALAMA!

Today FM - Listen Live!
Our multi-tasking fave DJ once again brings Ireland - and the whole wide world on the web - into the New Year from the Dublin studios of the top Irish radio station TodayFM with his annual sonic extravaganza BP Fallon's Wang Dang Doodle Into 2007.

"I'm honoured" notes our man with the jukebox tan. "And it's such an excellent vibe that the whole boogaloo can be heard live all over the world".

Indeed, when he's on the air listeners to the radio and the web may send txt msgs or emails direct to BP in the studio. "No longer does one sit there wondering if anyone's out there. It's an added pleasure that this is interactive broadcasting".

In previous years, BP has played unreleased tracks by everyone from The Beatles and The Stones to Bob Dylan and John Lennon to Mick Jones and Courtney Love. This year among his beloved new and old grooves our outlaw DJ will include unreleased music from Keith Richards and Pete Doherty - plus the world premiere of the Semi Precious Weapons tracks produced by Tony Visconti!

BP FALLON GETS STONED AGAIN
THE ROLLING STONES AT NEW YORK'S INTIMATE BEACON THEATRE

The music of The Rolling Stones is about sex and blood and death and redemption and joy and more sex.

“The Rolling Stones, they're a great fucking group!” mad ol' Phil Spector enthused in the grooves of The Stones 1964 recording Andrew's Blues and it was true then and it's true today and it's true tonight at New York's 2,800 seat Art Deco vaudevillian Beacon Theatre.

Jagger
the lithe showman, tight English rock star arse and rock star skinny body, more energy than a cat on a hot tin roof, cunning lyrics from those child-bearing labial lips.

Keef 'n' Ronnie LiveKeef 'n' RonnieMick Jagger Live

And Keef and Ronnie and MJ when he’s guitaring, these cats can fucking play, this lascivious cauldron of rock’n’roll, blues, country– “Well, we’ve got the hang of it by now” as KR said to BPF somewhere in Germany – and Keef and Ronnie knit and weave their guitars like two old smiling biddies at the foot of the guillotine and Charlie’s great tonight and every night and the catalogue of songs from their forty-plus years is remarkable, a few of which they now air for our sonic delectation: Jumping Jack Flash, Shattered, All Down The Line with Bobby Keys and the brass blaring, Sympathy For The Devil with Lisa Fischer wailing, Some Girls with MJ omitting the line "Black girls just wanna get fucked all night", Tumbling Dice, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar… even Satisfaction sounds vaguely fresh and in Honky Tonk Woman at Mick’s exaggerated delivery of “I laid a divorceeee in Noo Yoik citteaaa!” the Big Apple audience goes even more ape.

We all feel well lucky to be here.

BP FALLON GETS WEAPONIZED
SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS GET FALLON

It's been an open secret in the US music business for several months and now it can be confirmed - BP Fallon is the manager of the hottest new group in America, Semi Precious Weapons.

Says BP "I had no choice. SPW are putting the madness and joy back into rock'n'roll... their music celebrates and elevates and liberates and yes, they'll annoy a few people but that's fine too. And Justin Tranter is one of the most charismatic creatures I've ever met".

Semi Precious WeaponsSemi Precious WeaponsSemi Precious Weapons

Says Semi Precious Weapons mainmain Justin Tranter "A friend of mine sent me to BP's website and after reading two sentences of The Beep Bio I knew this man had to hear me and my band play. I figured if any geezer of importance in NY was going to understand what we were doing, it was him. And after the first time SPW played at Death Disco in New York, BP got on the mic and said 'When these cats got on stage I thought they'd either be crap or brilliant. They're fucking brilliant'.

Justin
continues "Nine months later I see that not only does Mr Fallon understand what I'm doing but he understands it better than I do. What a pair we make - the six foot tall platinum blonde frontman of variable sexuality and the five foot tall bald rock'n'roll Yoda! It's a marriage made in glam heaven".

...AND TONY VISCONTI COMES ON BOARD!

THE THRILLER WITH THE KILLER

JERRY LEE LEWIS: LAST MAN STANDING

He sang in a desultory manner, done it a million times, drawled out Chuck's mighty duo of Sweet Little Sixteen and Roll Over Beethoven and his own double dynamite 1957 explosion of Great Balls Of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On, wasn't about to burst a gut at 6.30pm in a New York record store to a bunch of Jerry Lee nutters and a posse of hungry photographers. "You here for work or for fun?" you ask one of the snappers. "Work" he says glumly and you immediately hate him. This fellow's photographing The Killer and he doesn't know how brilliant that is. Idiot.

Jerry Lee LewisMillion Dollar QuartetJerry Lee Lewis
So Jerry Lee's on autopilot but those hands on the keyboard of the beautiful fire-engine red Baldwin piano... the fingers, they dance, run up and down the keys, tinkle 'em, pound 'em, bash 'em, poke 'em, caress 'em oh so fine and oh so effortlessly and he isn't even trying... well, he's an old cat now... years of hellraising and more drugs and drink than all his Sun Records label-mates Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison combined. Had more wives than all of 'em, too. And ol' Jerry Lee Lewis is the last man standing.

NOW AND ZEN AND THE DENOUEMENT OF DEBBIE HARRY

BPF + Mick JonesMick JonesMick Jones

Mick Jones and BP Fallon are crouched against a wall on Seventh Avenue, pretending to ignore the biting cold wind. These two chums have just snuck out of Movida - the New York club where BP is DJing the 61st Birthday Party of his friend Bob Gruen, the legendary rock'n'roll photographer - for a little Jazz Woodbine vibe.

People hurrying by do a double-take at the man in the elegant suit and the twinkling eyes. One geezer, insulated against the cold by a tatty Ramones t shirt over his corpulent frame, kneels before his Clash hero Maestro Jones and kisses the pavement.

LET THEM EAT CAKE…
DEATH DISCO NYC SUNDAY AFTERNOONS ALL AGES AT THE CAKE SHOP!

Tiny  Masters Of TodayThe new season of Death Disco’s Sunday Afternoon All Ages shows kicks off at New York’s Cake Shop this Sunday Sept 10. Cake Shop hosted the last DD Sunday event – starring Franco V And The High Class Elite, Young Lords and The So-So Glos plus DJ Mathilde Hildebrandt – to resounding success.

“Cake Shop’s brilliant” notes DD mainman BP Fallon. “Upstairs there’s one of the hippest little record stores in New York – even the album covers on the wall merit a visit – and there’s the café where you can drink tea or coffee and munch cupcakes all day while listening to the records being spun… and then downstairs where the gigs are and the bands play there’s the live rocking and dancing. It’s perfect”.

Death Disco faves ModRocket – who return to DD direct from recording in LA - will be the resident band for the three Sunday September dates, with our fab foursome of Alice, Alex, Alanna and Sandra being bookended at each show by two more super-vibey combos.

The first gig opens with pre-teen sensations Tiny Masters Of Today – 12 year old Ivan on guitar and his 10 year old sister Ada on lead vocals and bass, joined for this show by their producer Russell Simins of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on drums – and climaxes with Used To Be Women, the hot new band led by Derek Stanton the awesome singer/guitarist in Awesome Color who humbly calls the mighty UTBW “another group of hoodlums from Detroit making noise in the city”.

And meanwhile just around the corner, the flagship Death Disco @ The Annex Wednesdays will naturally continue in all their over-age over-the-top glory!

WE DID IT FOR LOVE
WE CELEBRATE THE MUSIC AND MAGIC OF ARTHUR LEE AND LOVE

Arthur Lee RIPFollowing the recent sad death of Arthur Lee, we reflect on the extraordinary New York benefit concert in June for the Love mainman.Bernard, you old tart!” exclaims Robert Plant with a big grin on his bearded face as he greets the new arrival, breaking away from a group of people to hug his skinny chum. Will the circle be unbroken? Yes.Robert, he’s standing backstage at The Beacon Theater when Bernard Patrick Fallon ambles in laden down with CDs and cameras and a candle and incense and a little soundsystem for his dressing room and a plastic bag of electric light-up red peppers for around the top of his DJ booth. BP’s DJing tonight’s concert ie playing in between band changeovers. His friend with the smiling rural face Robert Plant is topping the bill, singing for the first time ever with an American band.This Plant and Fallon… well, it’s been many a mile and many a smile since they worked together professionally. Mind you tonight, it’s hardly professional in the “We’re getting paid” mode, seeing as they’re giving of their services free to raise money for Love mainman Arthur Lee who’s got acute myelogenus leukemia and is already facing $100,000 in medical bills.

BPF ADDED TO NEW YORK ARTHUR LEE BENEFIT

BP Fallon will DJ the Benefit Concert for Arthur Lee at The Beacon Theatre this Friday June 23 to help raise medical funds for Love mainman Arthur who is battling acute limphoblastic leukemia, joining a bill that includes live sets by Robert Plant and Ian Hunter - coincidentally two singers for whom BP was publicist in their previous bands, namely Led Zeppelin and Mott The Hoople - plus Yo La Tengo and original Love guitarist Johnny Echols.

Leader of the quintessential 60s Californian group Love whose haunting album Forever Changes is up there with Blonde On Blonde and Astral Weeks and Ramones as one of the greatest albums of all time, Arthur's turbulent history includes six years in prison on gun charges...

CARL BARAT DJs AT DEATH DISCO NEW YORK!
A PRETTY DIRTY NIGHT WITH A DIRTY PRETTY THING!

Carl BaratCarl Barat hopped off the plane from London at JFK, popped into The Roseland Ballroom to dig Arctic Monkeys and then high-tailed it to Death Disco New York to DJ up a storm. The Boppin' Barat opened with The Fabs and Paul's shout of "One, two, three, fuh!" into I Saw Her Standing There before slapping on Brown Sugar by The Stones and Carl's leaping about behind the decks as is everyone else on the dancefloor and from then on in it's somewhat of a kaliedescopic blur, adventures in the ozone laced with rock'n'roll and bright young things and another bright young Thing too, all doing the boogaloo and the shimmy shimmy shake and the let's-twitch-awhile... or something.

Carl
arrived at DD with Dirty Pretty Things guitarist Anthony Rossomodo and their man of the world, Creation's reknowned Stephen King. Our pal Mr King, he manages these DPT retrobates with our esteemed Death Disco co-founder Alan McGee. "We're a happy family, we're a happy family", The Ramones once sang and BP played The Ramones sliced into The Ventures as well as a bunch of cuts from his fave new album Riot City Blues by Primal Scream plus The Black Keys and Red Organ Serpent Sound and Shirley Ellis and Peter Vogelaar with John Lee Hooker and The Libs' song that namechecks Death Disco, Don't Look Back Into The Sun.

YOUTH GONE WILD... BLOOD ON THE GLITTERIST

SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS... THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT

Justin TrantnerIf The Sweet had had brains, they still couldn't have been more colourfully contagious than this going-for-it gang who's compelling lead vocalist frontman is a 21st Century Boy mutant morphing of Ziggy with a bad hangover, Iggy with a mad stylist and Freddie Mercury on the high notes, all drama and quivering tonsils and his hand going up in the air like he's going to drop down a yo yo out of it at any moment. Johnny Thunders, bless him, he'd've laughed at them and then got up to jam and had a ball. What a groove.

They're Semi Precious Weapons - a name maybe humble or maybe exaggeration - and they're rising like steam on fire from the midtown underbelly of New York City.

The band performed a ridiculously-mesmering high-octane set with singer Justin 'Precious' Tranter moulded into high-waisted woman's tights so tight they firmly leave no doubts about his gender, his neck and naked upper torso made up like fresh on flesh glistening blood glittering, an extreme "Whoops, I slit my throat while shaving!" vibe via Dante and Fellini dancing with holy madness and the girls in the audience hipping to it, hotly.

MySpace or Yours?

Now playing on BP Fallon's MySpace COUNTRY GIRL by PRIMAL SCREAM, live.

Fronted by our esteemed chum Bobby Gillespie, Primal Scream are back on the craic with the current core of the combo completed by Death Disco DJ Mani and rehab Throb and Martin Duffy. What a amazing band of pathfinders and lunatics, sometimes stumbling and often soaring along the rock'n'roll road of redemption and damnation, a candle always somewhere ahead. Country Girl has the vibe and velocity of The Faces, a marvellous mandolin solo and in the banned video our Bobby clad in a natty Nudie suit that suits him, bejewelled crucifix on his back instead of a monkey. Are you sure Hank done it this way?

And! See Primal Scream's controversial uncut and uncensored Country Girl video here!

WHAM BAM THANK YOU GLAM!

Justin Trantner of Semi-Precious WeaponsBP Fallon is the Special Guest DJ at the video launch party for New York garage glam heroes Semi Precious Weapons, whose music video is shot by feted filmmakers Andew Jenks and Jonah Quickmire Pettigrew.

Our Mr Fallon was one of the architects of what became known as Glam Rock when he worked with Marc Bolan & T.Rex - and seeing the night that's in it he'll doubtlessly turntable some hot tunes from that glittering era, from Bolan and Bowie to Brian Eno and Brett Smiley, via Roxy, Mott, Iggy and Lou... and Lulu doing The Man Who Sold The World with dear Dame David.

The evening will also feature a live take-no-prisoners performance by Semi Precious Weapons and a wild photo exhibition by famed glam designer and photographer Tommy Couture.

THE DEATH DISCO NEW YORK BRITISH INVASION

FAIRY TALES IN THE BIG APPLE!

The Fairies + White Man KamikazeWith Arctic Monkeys conquering a few nights earlier at NYC's Webster Hall, The British Invasion continued at Death Disco New York with exemplary performances by UK adventurers The Fairies, White Man Kamikaze and DJ Rich Pack.

London's four provocative pop punk princesses The Fairies returned to DD NYC to drive the men [and women] crazy with lust and a laugh.

Tinky
and Tinsel and Twinkle and Sparkle, they sound like a foul-mouthed Elastica with a dose of The Slits but they're even more fun, lining up on stage like some warped St Trinians-meets-Barbarella tableau to shake a tailfeather or four and sing their banned underground classic Pink Socks Rock, with its rousing chorus of "Lick my clit, kick my clit!" Shouldn't be allowed, really.


"Their wings are the only angelic thing about The Fairies" notes BP Fallon >>>Fairies tales in New York continued >>>

ALAN McGEE DD NYC SURPRISE & SURPRISING DJ SET!
CONFESSIONS ON THE DEATH DISCO DANCEFLOOR!

BPF + Alan McGeeDeath Disco co-founder Alan McGee jetted into New York from The SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, to do a fantastic and poptastic DJ set at DD NYC.

The maverick maestro of Britpunk kicked off daringly with Johnny Cash's spellbinding reading of Trent Reznor's Hurt - before getting the jam-packed dancefloor jumping with Hard-Fi [Cash Machine], Amerie [One Thing] and Roxy Music [Do The Strand]. In a playful mood, he led us down Pop Tart Avenue and pulled out excellent unusual-for-DD choices like Gwen Stefani [What You Waiting For?], Pink featuring Scratch [Respect], Beyonce with Jay Z [Crazy In Love], Destiny's Child [Independent Women] and even our chum Madonna with Confessions On A Dancefloor. And everyone went mad for McGee's menu. Let's dance, indeed!

Alan, smiling benignly at the throbbing throng, he whipped 'em up into a lather before hanging out awhile to dig Silver Rockets, the fine new Country-Noir-meets-Twin-Peaks combo fronted by ex-Mercury Rev guitarist Paul Dillon that also contains members of Oceanographer, Anorak and Cardinal. And then McGee was gone, ready to catch a dawn flight to DJ in London and then on for more get-'em-going spinning at Death Disco Budapest. What a man.

BP FALLON IN CONVERSATION WITH EAMON DUNPHY: HEAR IT HERE!

Eamon DunphyTo round off last year, our vibemaster BP was the Special Guest on Eamon Dunphy's Breakfast Show at the end of December 2005 on Ireland's radio station News Talk 106.

For a full hour BP and Eamon discussed whatever came into their heads or out of their heads - everything from the state of America to the state of Pete Doherty - while typically BP defied the talk station's music rules and pulled a few records out of his bag.

Controversial broadcaster and author Eamon is best known to rock fans internationally as the writer of the very first U2 biography The Unforgettable Fire. "I regard the man very highly - there's no bullshit about him" notes BP.

Other celebrated guests featured in this post-Christmas season were Sinn Féin chief negotiator Martin McGuinness, troubadour Christy Moore, soccer pundit Johnny Giles, former Irish Times editor Conor Brady and Weakest Link host Anne Robinson.

BEHIND THE MUSIC: SLEUTHS SEEK MESSAGES IN LYRICAL BACKSPIN

"Reverse-Play Audio Software Uncovers Smoke, Satan; A Led Zeppelin Enigma And A Quote From BP Fallon"
- WALL STREET JOURNAL front page story Monday Jan 9 2006

The Wall Street Journal
asks "Are there secret backwards messages hidden in music?" and in part reports:
"I'm sure it's not intentional," says a spokesman for Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones about the alleged satanic reference in Stairway to Heaven. "And I don't believe they've ever discussed it."

BP Fallon, who worked as Led Zeppelin's publicist during its 1970s heyday, added in an email message: "Play anything backwards, and you'll find something." He suggested that the mysterious backward lyric might actually be "Oh, here's to my sweaty satin," a reference to guitarist Jimmy Page's trousers!

HOWLING FOR MY BABY
ALLEN GINSBERG’S 50th HOWL

Allen GinsbergIn celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the first public reading of Allen Ginsberg's groundbreaking poem Howl, a motley crew of poets, artists and angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection marked the occasion by gathering together to read from Ginsberg’s work in aid of charity.

Taking part in the Dublin festivities and reading from Ginsberg’s cannon were poets Theo Dorgan, Gabriel Rosenstock, Noel Sweeney, Dermod Moore and Tony Curtis plus comedian Tommy Tiernan - who read the whole of Howl and its footnotes to exhilarating effect - Labour Party politician Fergus Finlay, writer and social activist Eamon McCann, editor of Hot Press Niall Stokes, songwriter and singer Hazel O’Connor and broadcaster and writer Eamon Dunphy. And BP Fallon read Ginsberg’s Father Death Blues.

Compered by Myles Dungan from RTE Radio 1's Rattlebag programme, the Howl event - the first of many across the world - was in aid of the Dublin branch of Down Syndrome Ireland to raise funds for speech therapy for children with Down Syndrome. It was completely sold out.

REHAB DUBLIN DEBUT!
SHANE MACGOWAN & BP FALLON SOCK IT TO ‘EM!

Shane MacGowan at RehabShane MacGowan dressed in black like some benign Dickensian character apparitions onto the Rehab stage as BP Fallon’s decks are exploding with bits of Bowie. It's BP's DB Goes To Rehab mashup and the fiesty full-voiced audience, they're roaring along with ol' Ziggy, screaming "Oh, don' lean on me man cos y'can' afford the ticket, I'm back from Suffragette City!" as BP gleefully fucks with the faders. Yup, a total blam blam.

It had started off great – queues from the door all down the quays, a jam-packed house full of vibey people – and had gotten even better.

BP - the self-effacing maestro MC DJ in his Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues t shirt doubtlessly scored in some dodgy dive in the West Village – he’d wound the throng up into a foaming lather with everything from Artic Monkeys and Von Iva to Towers Of London and Morningwood via twelve-inchers from PIL and The StonesRise and Miss You, fact fans – and everyone going completely King Kong to The Isley Brother’s roof-raising testifyer Shout following The Beatles adrenaliser Twist And Shout. “Well, shake it up baby…” and “We-e-e-e-e-e-e-ell, you know you make me wanna shout, kick my heels up an’ shout throw my hands up an’ shout throw my head back an’ shout come on now!” and yes they do, everyone at the front, at the back, on the stairs, up in the balcony, all taken by the music dancing to some manic choir from the bright side of the tracks. It's like out of a movie.
“Say that you love me!” Magic, baby.

Now Shane MacGowan has checked himself into Rehab to DJ, having come here directly from singing with The Pogues to 8,500 ecstatic fans at The Point.

Shane MacGowan + BP Fallon at RehabShane MacGowan at Rehab

Shane, all throughout his 1 hour 40 minute DJ set, admirers clamber up onto the Rehab stage to shake his hand or thrust a bit of paper at him to sign. When he can't find a handy pen, he uses a handy ciggie to burn his mark. Rehab's already rockin' and Shane's very presence generates an even higher energy upsurge. The celebrated Ronnie Drew - who sang The Irish Rover with Shane at The Point - Ronnie, he says of BP Fallon, "He gives spirit". Well, Shane gives spirit too, mighty stuff. And not just the stuff you can drink. What Shane did next>>>

In this celebratory sociological document, photographs of the contrasting youth movements of punk, mod, skinhead, 2-Tone and quiffed-up Teddy boys jostle alongside portraits of pop culture icons like John Lydon, Joe Strummer, Pete Townsend and Siouxsie Sioux.

Peppered with quotes from Strummer, Lydon, Madness, The Specials’ Jerry Dammers, Boy George and Paul Weller, this tremendous tome boasts a foreword by fashion designer Paul Smith and incisive essays by Vivien Goldman and Paolo Hewitt. Exemplary.
