INSIDE TOP 40 WITH DAVE SHOLIN It all started on the Gavin issue

dated January 18th of this year when PHIL COLLINS went to number one with "Easy Lover ". Then came "One More Night ", "Sussudio ", and "Don't Lose That Number ". Before time runs out, Phil squeezes in his fifth numbs° one record of 1985. Quite an accor:iplishment!

EDDIE MURPHY easily walks away with honors at most requested these days. Phenomenal chart growth in Baltimore at B104 22 -7, Montgomery WBAM 25 -10, Nashville Y107 22 -14, Madison Z104 10 -1, Sacramento FM102 16 -5, Seattle KUBE 14 -5, etc. SURVIVOR picks up excellent debut action at WYKS, WBAM, WBEA, WQTC, KIZZ, KZZP, KRQ, KWNZ, KOSO, etc.

Story building on a couple of Up & Coming entries. TA MARA &

THE SEEN get their first number one chart number in San Francisco at KMEL. Other impressive gains include KMGX- Fresno 12 -9, KMJK- Portland 22 -19, KS103 -San Diego 17 -14, KDON- Salinas 22 -15, 106X 28 -18, etc. BALTIMORA doing big things up in Canada at CHUM 7 -4, CFTR 16 -9, CKOC 16- 10...other moves at I -95 22 -14, WPFM 23 -17, KWES 23 -17, OK95 20 -16, LG73 debut #25,,etc.

Another big airplay week for MIKE & THE MECHANICS who are closing in on 100 reports. New at WWKZ, KCLD, KROC, WDAY, KKYS, KZZK, KHTX, KEYP, WBNQ, etc.

Last week's Record To Watch,

NICK LOWE, continues to prove itself in the Midwest. WLS climbs 24 -21, KKXL 19 -16, KKRC 23 -20, KDSR debut #15!, KYYA 30 -21 plus 10 new believers. Refuses to give up.

Former top 5 urban smash STARPOINT is proving its crossover ability in a number of markets. A 37% Hit Factor is possible due to numbers like this: B -94 6 -2, WXKS 11 -8, B -97 13 -11, Q104 21 -15, KSTN 6 -2, KGGI 4 -1, etc.

A reminder our Thanksgiving deadline is in effect next week. Cut off for all Top 40 reports is Tuesday November 26, at 5PM PST. Thanks in advance for your co- operation in getting reports in early. Dave

HOLLYWOOD by Tony Richland

by Tony Richland

We were recently informed that on January 23rd, 1986, induction ceremonies will be held for the first group of nominees to be named to the newly formed Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Etched in stone for their innovation and creativity will be Chuck Berry, James Brown, Elvis, The Everlys, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Buddy Holley, Sam Cooke, Little Richard and Fats Domino.

Deserving choices, all, but we at the Gavin Hollywood Bureau suggest that the forces behind the project consider a separate area honoring an assemblage we hold in even greater affection.We'd call OUR room The Hall of One -Shots and would inaugurate it with the following legendary flash -in- the -pans:

SOPWITH CAMEL MR. ACKER BILK SGT. BARRY SADLER (whose 1966 failed follow -up to "The Ballad Of The Green Berets" was actually called "The 'A' Team ") THE SINGING NUN DOMINICO MODUNGO THE IRISH ROVERS JOE DOLCE HENSON CARGILL PAUL MAURIAT

LISTS

SENATOR BOBBY CLAUDINE CLARK ... and our all -time fave, BOB KUBAN AND THE IN -MEN

(Clean tape copies of all of the above can be obtained by begging Steve Resnik of A &M Records.)

We'd dub yet another exhibition area "The Four -Play Room," with plaques honoring the following groups, all of whom have made Top 40 chart appearances:

FOUR ACES FOUR COINS FOUR DATES FOUR ESQUIRES FOUR -EVERS FOUR FRESHMEN FOUR JACKS & A JILL FOUR KNIGHTS FOUR LADS FOUR LOVERS FOUR PENNIES FOUR PREPS FOUR SEASONS FOUR SONICS FOUR SPORTSMEN FOUR TOPS FOUR VOICES FORTUNES

Do not call Resnik four any of the above ... he's four too busy dubbing copies of Bob Kuban. Other major and pertinent lists of the week are as follows:

4 TV PROGRAMS NEVER VIEWED BY LADY DI: 1. Brothers 2. Great Chefs of Cleveland 3. The Joe Franklin Show 4. Jefferson' re -runs

4 PEOPLE WHO ARE PROBABLY ABOUT TO COMMENCE LAMAZE CLASSES:

Serenading The Exhausted Ones by Kent /Keith Zimmerman

Required listening is the Dog Eat Dog LP, Joni Mitchell's latest work. It is the work of an experienced artist who is both aware of the infinitesimal details and the infinite possibilities of making a studio album in

the eighties. We were surprised to find her up -front and outspoken. In fact, she's quite a talker ( "I hope you're taping this "). We began by asking about the production crew ( "the team ") that produced the LP.

She was eager to set the record straight that, aside from her own contribution along with Thomas Dolby. engineer Mike Shipley and bassist Larry Klein were avid workers on

project as well. Then it was on to the singl.

KZ: Is the single "Good Friends" about anyone we would know in New York? JM: It's a good friend in New York. The gossip aspect doesn't really matter. KZ: Yes, but do you hang out at OTB (off track betting) parlors? JM: Usually the last couple races of the day. That's just down the block from my loft.

KZ: Where you paint? What was this accident that you had that delayed this interview? JM: Oh god. They told you about that? I

had to cancel. We were filming for the BBC. It was mainly regarding the painting. So the last leg of it was that I would do this large painting in front of the camera. The first part

of the painting process is kind of mindless. You're throwing the paint and you're moving all over -kind of action painting. The second leg is when you begin scoring designs. Again, it's very emotional, you're throwing yourself at this canvas. The third stage is when I usually use a kitchen knife with a serrated edge. Well, I'd forgotten this

(5 the GAVIN REPORT November 22, l5



tool. The knife around the place was this machete that we were using to cut up apples. I was scraping away with the knife. Really fast I was moving faster because we were on camera. Usually I'd stand back, have a smoke, go a little easier at it. But I

took a swipe with this blade. I cut my finger, not badly. The knife moved into my hand and moved paint into it at the same time. Your first instinct is to stick your finger into your mouth. Well, it was covered with this toxic paint I was still talking and painting for about ten minutes longer. When the camera ran out of film, I took a paper towel and wiped my tongue off. It was yellow and blue. The next couple of hours, I didn't feel my best. KZ Tell me about the Three Great Stimulants that you isolate on that track. JM: Artifice. Did you ever look that word up? KZ: Actually, I did. JM: It takes up half a page. It's a great word because it means everything that isn't natural. When you get into breaking it down according to synonyms, it really gets interesting. It's one of the most expansive words I've ever seen in that book. Artifice covers everything except the love of nature. You look at the sunset, that's not artifice. So that covers the arts. It means neither bad nor good. As a result, it has a lot of irony built into it. It's a beautiful word, really. Movies, films, everything. Brutality is self - explanatory. Innocence. In a decline of any culture -well, youth culture becomes more important than when a culture is in its more wholesome phases. America twenty years ago looked at innocence with a different eye than it does now. Do you know what I

mean? I always think of Emmanuel. Ever see that movie? The premise of that movie is that he takes this innocent girl and he guides her with this worldly expertise into being much more of a sexual minded animal. At the end, what does she end up to be? Nothing but a painted tart And you know she will then become him and exploit innocence in the same way. KZ: Are the "exhausted ones" you and me? JM: Yes, that's all of us. I think the Western world is exhausted. This culture has entered Dvertly into its decadence. You know, it

-esembles Germany in the thirties and ' orties, certainly not the America we 'member twenty years ago with Norman Rockwell covers. KZ: It's all fastball and fastlane. You mentioned "Shiny Toys." Did you really think of that while standing in line at the market? JM: Do you mean, did I pick up my notebook and begin to write - KZ: I mean, when I'm at the market, I look at all those rags and read those horrid headlines. JM: We all do. I mean, we get People Magazine. When we pass the newstand, we pick it up and look at it I'd just done an interview for People Magazine with a really nice guy. He would like to do a good piece in the context of that rag. He was sort of hurt by that song. He thought I was taking potshots at him. We'll see what happens

Tait

this -is that I tried to get my friends to do it. First off, all it was was an actual sermon with a preacher saying it. He did it best I

would have liked to put it out that way. People think it's a mock sermon. Unfortunately, it isn't It's an actual sermon. 'Pot in their pockets,' all that business was actually transcribed. By the time we'd finished the record, I'd gotten very attached to the sound of this preacher himself. I

called Robert Duvall just because I like his acting and, secondly, I knew he'd been studying evangelists for a period of time. He

_said, yes, he had, but in fact, he'd been doing his own movie with his own songs and therefore wouldn't be interested. He recommended I talk to Marjoe (Gortner). Marjoe, I don't know. He would have been a real good choice in retrospect, he would have been excellent. I never approached him. The next person I approached was Ned Beatty. He and his wife were very nice about it, but they're Christians. He couldn't find it in his heart to do that portrait Then I

approached Harry Dean Stanton. Harry Dean Stanton was working on (playwright Sam Shepard's) Fool For Love. When a break came up, I approached him again and he said he couldn't do it because he'd already knocked evangelists in public, and basically he's a Taoist or a Buddhist and didn't want to follow the role of knocking evangelists. Then I asked (Jack) Nicholson, who wasn't a natural for the part at all, but he's a friend of mine. Anyway, it was

Obasketball season and Jack was going to Boston, he was everywhere. Finally, I

caught up with him. He came down to do it,

but the guard at the studio didn't recognize

when it comes out We talked about a lot of interesting things in the course of a couple days. It'll be interesting to see that even though he wants to do a piece with depth, whether his editor ... instead of it being THEM and US, let's get those stars, you know, the interview could be something that transcends mediocrity. You don't usually do that, right? KZ: When we interview people, the goal is to steer it into becoming just a conversation be'ween two people. When you sequenced "Ethiopia" into "Shiny Toys," was there a deliberate slant towards impact? JM: "Ethiopia" was hard to sequence, period. You couldn't put it at the end of the record, or else nobody would ever turn it over. Where would you have put it? We sequenced this record a lot of times. There's a power to that song. You almost need to have breathing room afterwards. I

played it for a lot of people. My manager (Peter Asher), it made him really sad. He doesn't like music to make him sad. He doesn't like sad movies. He's just not one of those people who likes sad works of art He begged me to take it off the record. I played it for Michael McDonald and Michael was obviously .. his chin quivered, you know what I mean? I know what that song was. It

made me cry while I was singing it at one point ... I know how much emotion is in it Where do you put it? I chose to put it there. KZ: How did Rod Steiger end upon your album? (He appears on the track, "Tax Free. ") JM: This is tricky. I don't know how to tell you this. I want to tell you the truth, yet at the same time, there's a consequence. The truth of the matter -how am I gonna say

him, so he locked him out So he and (Art) Garfunkel are going around the building looking for a back entrance. I couldn't ask him again because he really didn't want to do it. The next time I saw him, he said, "Well, pal, I know it's just acting, but I really didn't like the idea of knocking Castro." At that point I thought, man, this is a controversial song. I'd just asked four people and they'd said "no" for four different reasons. Entirely different reasons! Then we saw The Pawnbroker, and I thought, "Steiger!" I

called him in Tokyo and just missed him. I called him in Paris and woke him up. And I

was reluctant to call him. When I did get back to him, we met in a coffee shop, I ran the plot past him. He said, "I get it You want me to play an American Hitler." So he was in. I think he did a pretty good job. He brought to it a certain drama. It was very different Then I talked to Marjoe, and he said to play an evangelist is a whole different thing. As an ex- evangelist, he knows these things from the inside out, but an actor has to apply the part topically. That's how it all came abo t KZ: Do you ever watch (TV preacher) Dr. Gene Scott? I was addicted to him when he was fighting the FCC. It was like Lenny Bruce, where the politics got in the way of the comedy, or the religion. Both poured over these court transcripts. JM: I kind of like Gene. He's really far out there. I think he is like Lenny Bruce. Send me your money! He's so overt The thing I

like about him is that he's not a charlatan, rather his flaws are on the surface. He's not a cunning monster like the man this transcript comes from (on "Tax Free"). KZ: ... or Falwell - JM: -or Swaggert KZ: My favorite song on the LP is "Fiction" and I don't really know why. JM: The music is Larry's (Klein). Both that and "Tax Free" are Larry's music. Both of them, if you kind of analyze it, are a shorter line. The sentence structure is different from my music which has long lines because I'm so long winded (laughs). The short phrases were kind of challenging to parquet with the words. At the time, we were just trying to learn the Fairlight, an instrument that is infinitely possible. We were kind of confounded with the infinity of choice at this time. People come up to you and they say, "Have you heard the latest such and such ?" There was a time when we were all on the same cultural wave -length. But no more. Everyone's into their own specialization. I

mean, you can devote your life to keeping up with the media just so you can speak to your generation, a full -time job. That's a lot of what "Fiction" is about the rat race of media, being in it, being outside looking at the many different ways there are to look at things. KZ: You mentioned Fairlight. I notice you're using voice sampling. JM: I've used electronic instruments way back as far as Court And Spark and Hissing (Of Summer Lawns). It was easier to get at the sounds. Now there's a real art to it That's why Thomas (Dolby) was hired on to be part of the project Larry was just learning to set up sounds, to be able to get

at the sounds quickly, to offer us a pallet to work with. I'll take one of those and one of those type of things. That was to be his job and he was also invited to be a player on the project The Fairlight is an amazing instrument because it does have a certain amount of stock software that comes with it You can put in a floppy disc and get a whole page, about eighteen different sounds. Part of the art of working with Fairlight is to use the stock sounds as little as possible and to distill your own. In the real inner circle of Fairlight players, part of the art is -it's a silly game, but it exists -to make a sound that can't be identified. I felt that there were good stock Fairlight sounds. I was probably less into the distillation (of original sounds) than the others. I had the responsibility of the clock ticking in there. You don't spend forever, because you could. A good sound is a good sound. I

don't care if it's recognizable, having been on this record or that record. Strings are strings to me. You can take the machinery too far. I think I was the one person in both camps. There was still some of the old ways, spin -ins, that I believe in. If you have a good sound existing, spin it in, why bother to recreate it on the Fairlight? That seems like doing the job twice. People will do that KZ: Do you mean people going out sampling sounds already inside on the software? JM: I'll give you can example. On "The Three Great Stimulants," there's a sound that I captured on Super 8 film, on a camera. I went to shoot a wall of graffitti in New York and when I got the film back, there was this great sound on it. It was a sound of a guy hammering in the distance and a burgler alarm going off. So on "The Three Great Stimulants," when we go ,

"Deep in the night BONG BONG BONG," you'll hear this sound. It was suggested to me by the team that it wasn't hi -fi enough, and that we should reproduce it on the Fairlight I said, "Fine, if you can get it to sound exactly, great. But if it sounds exactly

like this, why bother? We've already got it." That's the place where you get Fairlight -itis. You can lose perspective, so we spun it in. KZ: So you ended up using the actual Super 8 sound. Good. I think that's better. JM: On "Ethiopia" there's a lot of background voices and so on. I took a lot of ethnic African records and distilled the sounds down onto half inch tape and then spun it in against the track playing at random. Every once in a while, a sound would just stick to the bones of the track so wonderfully. There's a lot of spin -ins on that track, for instance. KZ: Getting back to "The Three Great Stimulants," I like the specific reference to the lawyer. I don't know about some lawyers these days. JM: Oh, it's just ridiculous. We got hit by a drunk on the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). The judge in Santa Monica, where he hit us, is very strict and would really like to ... I

mean, it's terrible. This kid passes out at the wheel and comes at you and can rob you of your mortality at that moment Now we go to court He's driving without insurance, which is illegal now. He's driving drunk, which is really rotten. The only way you can defend him, because he's guilty, is to keep stalling. Everytime we go to court the game that the lawyer is playing is, "It's been cancelled," hoping that you'll give up. You get up so many mornings in a row, finally you'll stop coming, right? There's always legal games that have nothing to do with justice. This guy on the tube was actually informing grass -roots America on how, if they slipped in a supermarket, they could make money off that. KZ: You'vé always incorporated jazz into your musical direction. Around Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, you were playing with Jaco Pastorius and lately Wayne Shorter. Is jazz a catalyst for your music? JM: No. It was the other way around. Rock 'n' roll musicians back then simply couldn't play my music. They just couldn't play it.

They couldn't hear the chords and they 17 the GAVIN REPORT /November 22, 191



couldn't feel the subtleties of turnarounds. They'd be playing straight two or four rhythms all the way along. The pressure points in the music just didn't have the subtlety. It was suggested to me by (drummer) Russ Kunkel at one point as I

was trying to lead him through some changes. He said, "Joan, you really have to get a jazz drummer." I found The LA Express in a little jazz club, so I began working with them. Even they, as they wrote out the lead sheets to play the music, I

remember them laughing and shaking their heads. They'd think it was really simple, then they'd try to write it out and these chords would be strange inversions, the open tunings. So that's how I got into playing with jazz musicians, because jazz musicians and rock musicians were like Baptists and Catholics. There was nothing in between. Now there are musicians who can play rock jazz fluently. They can speak these different languages. Back then, there weren't.

KZ: What kind of player is your husband, Larry Klein? JM: He's like that He played rock 'n' roll in high school. He studied classical at the college level and then he played, during his teens and early twenties, with a lot of jazz musicians. Freddie Hubbard and Carmen McCrae. He can sight read, he's steeped in classical composition. That breed of musician had not occurred yet, that I knew of.

KZ: Do you read music? JM: I could read when I was seven or eight (laughs) But since I started making music professionally, I haven't done it I really don't have any use for it There were times when it would have been useful. But basically, because of technology, you don't need it so much now.

KZ: The late (Jazz bassist /composer) Charles Mingus. How did you get into his music? How did you meet? JM: He was really a poetic person and had a very broad emotional spectrum, which he lived out You may have a broad internal emotional spectrum, but you don't use it Charles cried easily. He'd been known to punch out bandmembers because he thought they were falsifying their emotions. He'd go leaping into the audience and start reading out somebody. He expressed his anger spontaneously, his soul spontaneously, his wit spontaneously. He lived a very broad emotional life.

KZ: You play a mean cigarette machine on "Try Another." JM: Acoustic cigarette machine. That's not a loop. That's the old technology. One night we were kind of bogged down in the studio and that cigarette machine hadn't been tended to by the vendor. First my brand disappeared. Then my second favorite brand disappeared. Then my third favorite brand disappeared. Then it was down to Kools, L &Ms, really obscure brands. Pretty soon there was nothing left One night, in a fit, we got an extension cord, we hauled it down the hall at A &M, into the parking lot and stuck a mike up inside the machine and I just sat there, hitting the button as the

"There was a time when we were all on the same ûltural wavelength. But no more.

Everyone's into their own specialization."

cycle came up. I played it for about four minutes, then we condensed it. KZ: The black guy on the cover, is that you in drag on the front of Don Juan's Reckless Daughter?

JM: Yeah. It started off as a Halloween costume. That's a long story. That's part of the reason Charles (Mingus) asked me to write his epitaph. He got a kick out of that. The best reviews I got for that album, which was during that period of time when it was my turn to be out of favor, were in black magazines. They got the point of the album, whereas everyone else was saying, "What does she mean by this, that Negroes have more fun or something ?" In the black publications that reviewed it, they really saw what it was -a journey through America, a departure point in Florida into the Third

World. KZ: Charles Mingus' epitaph? JM: When Charles found out he was terminally ill, he ended up buying a book of T.S. Eliot, The Quartet, and there were parts of the poetry he couldn't understand. His wife was somewhat literary, so she translated some of them, paraphrased things he didn't understand. Somewhere during that time, he got this idea in his head that he wanted to do a piece with a symphony orchestra with me playing lead guitar across the front and an Oxford Englishman with a formally educated, aristocratic voice reading T.S. Eliot with me translating it into the vernacular, more street English. He said it would be like the Baptist Church when one preacher reads from the traditional text, the other translated. He wanted me to play that role, which I thought was funny. So I went out and got The Quartet looked it over and called him back and said it would be easier to paraphrase the Bible than T.S. Eliot, even though I could feel what was the inspired part of the verse and what were the connecting phrases. The connecting phrases were part of the art. So I said, sorry, Charles. Besides, I didn't think that I could read (music) and it would have been difficult to play his changes on guitar. A few weeks went by, he called me back and said that he's written these melodies. One was called Joni I, Joni II, Joni Ill, Joni IV, and so on. Would I set words to them? I was flattered. I went out to visit him. When I walked into the room, I saw this hulk -he was a big man -in a wheelchair. He was also bloated, the disease kind of puffed him up. When he turned around, he had this wry grin on his face, like that same expression that I painted on the Mingus cover. If you recall, it's like a wry, sideways grin that he has. I know that emotion from the inside out There's a piece of film I put together where I

have the same exact expression on my face and it cute to him with that look on his face. Sramethi: gin that glance, I knew. I just felt

:nnected to him. So wa started working. .i s song that I did, I asked him what he

wan. .o it to be about and he said, "This is about the things I'm going to miss." He looked at me and it was like Rumpelstiltskin, it was like a dare. And I wrote "Chair In The Sky," pretty much imagining him singing it I

sing it in first person, but it's basically supposed to be his soul. And he really liked it The first transcript that he got was just a little piano and voice, and he felt it should have been sent in a capsule to the moon! And he never really liked the later arrangements as they became more illustrated. He always liked that pure little demo the best There's really something to be said for demos. KZ: On the way to work, I thought of this question as I was grabbing all your records off the self... I had a million records and didn't file them alphabetically, who would you like to filed next to? JM: One would be Miiiiles! Miles (Davis) is a great hero of nine. Let me think, who else? I guess I'd want to be mostly in there, in the Negro section. Stick me in between Miles and Mingus and Prince!

A/C HIT FACTOR

A/C ANALYSIS In a bit of a fluke, LIONEL

RICHIE eclipses JAMES TAYLOR in stat profile causing JT to drop one on the chart even though no fatigue has settled in with JAMES.

DIONNE & FRIENDS, MR.MISTER, KLYMAXX and BARRY MANILOW can be serious threats for top three status in a few weeks. KLYMAXX has just exploded this past month or so. A hit factor of 72% from 181 stations is pretty impressive for a

band with no prior A/C exposure. BARRY MANILOW is back in a big way. A hit factor of 74% in five weeks recalls his good old days when he owned A/C radio. And for those of you who've heard the new LP, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

This week's certified records, DIRE STRAITS (54% hit factor and 19 adds) and AMY GRANT (68% hit factor and 8 adds) looks solid.

RECOMMENDED FOR A/C RADIO

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - "My Home- town" (Columbia) More than any other track on "Born In The USA ", this one recalls the bleakness of lyric and the simplicity of his "Nebraska" LP. This is a major A/C record not because it's slow and doesn't rock, but because it's lyrically intensive and a generation removed from the rock /pop core. WHITNEY HOUSTON - "How Will I

Know" (Arista) Produced by Narada Michael Walden, who did Aretha's FREEWAY OF LOVE,this track has been one of my favorites from the album I reviewed back on March 1st. An automatic!!

DIANA ROSS - "Chain Reaction" (RCA) Under production guidance from Barry and the Gibbs, Diana gets a sound reminiscent of the "Baby Love" era. MICHAEL FRANKS featuring BRENDA RUSSELL - "When I Give My Love To You" (Warner Bros.) Edited down and possibly re -mixed from the LP version on "Skin Dive ", this is easy listening for A/C (all concerned). EL DeBARGE with DeBARGE - "The Heart Is Not So Smart" (Gordy/ Motown) This fourth track from the RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT LP is already climbing up the A/C page. El's participation on that LP was so dominant that his recent billing "with DeBarge" was only fair. This track should solidify his presence with A/C radio. CARRIE LUCAS - "Going In Circles" (Constellation /MCA) Originally done by The Friends Of Distinction back in '69 (a long, long time ago), Carrie give the song a tasty once -over. Ro

AEROSMITH Yes, it's true. ALL the writing and information on Aerosmith's new LP

(except for a preprinted Geffen logo

on the disc's label) is mirror -image reversed.

AMY GRANT Amy Grant's husband, Gary

Chapman, wrote half of the songs on

her new album, "Age To Age," and

he's also Amy's guitarist and collaborator.

MIKE & THE MECHANICS The Paul Young in this band is

former member of Sad Cafe, not the

singer who recently covered Ann Peeble's "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down."

STEVIE NICKS MIKE & MECHANICS HOODOO GURUS

These records define the Album radio and Alternative r

"Bring On The Dancing Horses-

-Echo & The Bunnymen (Sire(

BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE

o rmats this week. " =:nko

úsß FUNK "Still Smokin "- Trouble Funk (Island)

Each and everytime ECHO releases an LP, it goes number one for weeks on our Alternative chart. "Bring On The Dancing Horses ", a single, was produced by LAURIE LATHAM,whose work with PAUL YOUNG and THE STRANGLERS has succeeded on a few other GAVIN charts as well. In fact, STRANGLER fans will recognize the tremelo guitar from "Skin Deep ".

State Of Our Union -Long Ryders (Island)

Since that first EP on Jem, we've been cautious LONG RYDER fans. We're also not all that surprised that it took a trip overseas to get their records in all the stores here. Most of the band's reverence for all things American comes from an allegorically romanticized and scholarly point of view fostered by the dog -eared history books we all toted around

o

By not being reduced to being just the "next big thing ", go -go's still smokin' on the eve of a national tour by TROUBLE FUNK (sold out here) and the release of the movie, GOOD TO GO starring ART GAR - FUNKEL. Very hip, very black, and at the same time, very modern.

in school (sure wasn't romantic back then). The biggest challenge this music faces is overcoming the lack of romance Americans tend to have for their own culture. Consequently, STATE OF OUR UNION will have to rely on the nuts and bolts of chords, melody, and rockability. Alternatives should lead the way with "Lewis & Clark" & my fave, the GPish "Lights Of Downtown ".

Pack Up The Plantation -Tom Petty (MCA)

Here's a creature long absent from the scene --the quality double live LP. This time it's by an artist who hasn't cried live wolf before. I'm a big, big TOM PETTY fan and I

love all his LPs, but nothing- - nothing--is like seeing him live on a hot night (that 1200 seater with NICK LOWE comes to mind). PACK UP THE PLANTATION is in the upper ten percentile of recent live packages. Songs you wouldn't expect( "It Ain't Nothing ", "Refugee ", "Rebel ", and "American Girl ") are turned inside out and beaten sense- less like dusty rugs. Two principal reasons why these guys rool live are captured on this LP. One is STAN LYNCH's drumming, the other is MIKE CAMPBELL, who is à more biting guitarist live than in the safer confines of the studio. Add- itional members dig in,too, making this set light years beyond other live holiday releases. In fact, listening is a holiday in itself. After the four oldie renditions, just pick 'em off one by one.

HUMOR: THIS RECORD CONTAINS SOME WORDS AND PHRASES THAT REQUIRE A SENSE OF N -UMOR. IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE, DONT LISTEN.

Come Out And Play- Twisted Sister (Atlantic)

Following up a metal album with an even bigger LP is no easy feat. Some have dipped 50 %. Some have main- tained even platinum status by closing in on an even younger demo, threatening parental turf. When you consider these factors, it's no wonder the plan is so aggressive. Having broken through Top Forty via video, there's a myriad of directions to go, audiences to please. It's all liable to turn staunch metal musicians into marketing experts, juggling merchandising methods with guitar solos and percentages. TWISTED SISTER has always aligned themselves with the founding father of metal marketing- - ALICE COOPER. He took his rock 'n' roll circus worldwide to the tune of mega millions even FORBES magazine couldn't ignore. TS has taken their show all the way to the Senate, possibly the biggest circus ring of all. What a dilemma! You've got millions of core fans and their fussed up parents, merchandising up the kazoo, Album Radio trying to either play it or fight it off. Dollars are flying left and right. If indeed this movie is rated H, then I don't feel so bad laughing at the whole scene.

MY 2C First things first. WELCOME to a

new GAVIN ALBUM station. WFXZ in SAGINAW. They switch this week from Top Forty to Album Radio. I talked to GUY PERRY, the MD. SPANKY TRAVIS is the PD. Phone number is 517- 892- 7777...CERTIFIED sides this week include ASIA and PAT BENATAR, who debuts this 33.

week at #24...MIKE & HIS MECH- ANICS broke through this week in a big, big way. They move from - 20 -8, into the Top Ten. That gives - the WEA corporation seven out of the - Top Ten during the holiday buying - season. That's pretty good timing... STEVIE WONDER has released his fine new LP on CD. It is a triple digital recording with an extended mix of "It's Wrong ". ..A surprising number of stations are reporting light rotation on the comedy LP by STEVEN WRIGHT, the popular dead- pan latenight comic... PLEASE note that this week's deadline is different due to the THANKSGIVING holiday. We'll be taking reports MONDAY and TUESDAY-- 8:30AM until 6:00PM, and that's West Coast Time...ls there a shake -up going on in THE CLASH organization ?...On a formerly related turf, BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE have debuted this week at #36. According to our sources,the Top 4 markets are BOSTON, LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, and NEW YORK. Stock is running low or out in the above breakout areas...Every so often you check out an opening act out of simple curiousity and end up leaving a believer and a fan. Happened last

CH!RTBOUND YES (Atco) "Hold" CHARLIE SEXTON (MCA) "Beat's" THE CULT (Sire) "Sells" WIRE TRAIN (415 /Col.) "Skill" "Last" GOLDEN PALOMINOS (Celluloid) "Trains" NIGHT RANGER (Camel /MCA) "G'bye" STEVIE WONDER(Tamla) "Go" "Wrong" WALL OF VOODOO (IRS) "Crazy" OMD (A &M) "Secrets" "So"

*Y &T (A &M) "All" *MARILLION (Capitol) "Lavender" *SIOUXSIE & BANSHEES (Gef.) "Dust" *ECHO & B'MEN (Sire) "Horses" *LSO /J.TULL (RCA) "Bouree"

week when JANE SIBERRY played her first gig here as an opening act for EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL. The gig was sold -out with lines of disappointed fans waiting to get in. EVERYTHING seemed to have drawn

about 60% of the fans and did very well. SIBERRY performed an outstanding set. She's going to be a

force to reckon with, especially with female listeners who go for a little intelligence...You'll notice that INXS was bumped by JOHN MELLENCAMP. Both records are extremely strong and should be battling it out at that position for a few more weeks to come...Look for MR. MISTER to move its way back up with the ser- vicing of "Kyrie" on special virgin audiophile vinyl...Also speaking of vinyl, DIVINYLS keep up an upward pace with a 32 -28 -25 growth pattern. That puts six female vocalists on the Album Chart this week, counting JONI MITCHELL, KATE BUSH, STARSHIP, STEVIE NICKS, and PAT BENATAR...Next week we feature KISS in interview. B4 there was metal,there was KISS?

and the results are apparent. THE GOLDEN PALOMINOS, a

CERTIFIED title last week, should compete with THE REPLACEMENTS &

B.A.D. next week for the top five. A gradual but steady gainer, INXS could crack the Top Ten. Airplay growth has been moderate each week, but it's been consistent and unwavering.

THE CULT are CERTIFIED and will likely make a quantum leap as they push aside many older fading records.

SIOUXSIE & BANSHEES and THE CLASH, our MOST ADDED album,

J

both debut. SIOUXSIE was our second & third MOST ADDED album the past two weeks respectively. When all those adds convert to rotations, both records will bolt up the chart.

CABARET VOLTAIRE & THE FALL are attaining excellent response, primarily from college radio, and their odds of debuting look very good.

Special Note: The Thanksgiving week deadline for calling in your reports will be Tuesday, 5:00 PST. Please call on Monday or Tuesday as early in the day as possible. Thanks.

SPOTLIGHT LP Cruiser's Creek /Vixen /L.A. -THE FALL (Beggars Banquet-UK) For some peculiar reason I've always thought of The Fall as the bastard son of Captain Beefheart. Perhaps it's the way they both can present minimal guitar rhythms and melodies in a clever manner. This EP contains three of their most accessible tracks since their moderately successful "Totally Wired ". While they're not about to take Top 40 radio by storm, this is the type of record which spices up the sound of a station.

by Lisa Smith The Bellamy Brothers have established a long string of hits in the ten years since they first jumped onto the charts. Their premiere smash, "Let Your Love Flow," lifted them to prominence in both country music and pop music circles. Their next few records didn't do well in the U.S., but when they released "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" in 1979, country radio embraced them again, and they've continued to be one of the most successful duet teams in country music. Their popularity in Europe has been unwavering, and in 1984 the BBC named them Most Popular Vocal Group. While their recent hit, "Old Hippie," was autobiographical for both of them, they're now self -described "health freaks," heavily into exercise and diet -watching. We spoke to David Bellamy on the day before the brothers were leaving for another European tour.

LS: You've been quoted as saying that you've crafted and experimented with your music so that it's right where you want it to be. Where is that? DB: Well, being quoted on something isn't always exactly true. Even if it is true, by the time you've read it in the paper, you've normally changed your mind. I don't think we're ever satisfied with our music. I don't think any artist who's into his music is ever satisfied. You can always write a better song and record something better. But there are a few things we are satisfied with. We like our music from the standpoint that it is our music, and that's real important to us. I feel like you can be an artist and still not have your own music. We've been lucky enough to have our own music and still be successful. In that respect, we are satisfied. But as far as laying back and being satisfied with it, we're never really satisfied. LS: Would you tell us something about your family's history? DB: We have a 200 acre farm down here in Florida. The place has been in our family since the Civil War. Our ancestors came over here from France and settled down in South Carolina. My great -great -great grandfather was wounded in the Battle of Chickamauga, and after that he had one of those old lead rifle balls that he toted around in him for a few months. He came down hereto Florida for his health because it was a warmer climate. He bought this little piece of land for almost nothing and it's been in our family ever since. He died about six months after he bought the farm and left it to his wife and kids. It's a nice place. We ,

live sort of communally here. My mother and father live here in the center of the farm in an old house that is close to 100 years old. Howard and I were both born in this house. I live in the front part of the farm and Howard lives down in the back and my sister lives on one side and I also have a grandmother who lives here. And, of course, all of our kids live here. I have four

sons, Howard has a daughter, and my sister has a daughter. They're all growing up as brothers and sisters -they don't know who they belong to. LS: Where is it exactly in Florida? DB: We live about forty miles north of Tampa in Clearmont We raise cattle, oranges, and a lot of other things. We have a little recording studio here. The farm is pretty much self- sufficient

around about my grandfather's ghost, because when I sat down to write "Whistlin' Dixie" I got the idea and wrote that song from top to bottom, almost without stopping. It was a very strange event It was just like I

was copying if off a piece of paper. I've heard songwriters talk about those type of songs that come through you, but I've never had that experience except for that song. I

feel like somebody else wrote that song. I'm

Hip

Lifestyle BROTHERS LS: Have you ever considered moving to Nashville? DB: Well, Howard and I have lived in other places due to our career. We lived in Los Angeles for about five years and we lived in Europe for two years. We thought about moving to Nashville after we left Los Angeles, but we really wanted to move back home. So we bought a place in Nashville that could be like a second home when we do our business there. We have the only condo in Nashville that I know of that's decorated like a tepee. When Howard and I

travel in the Southwest, we visit a lot of reservations. We're very much into Indians, we're part Cherokee ourselves. So when we travel around there we collect a lot of Indian art and artifacts. We decided that since we have all these kids running

"We have the only condo in

Nashville that I know of that's decorated like a teepee."

around the farm in Florida that we'd just keep our Indian collections in the condo in Nashville. It's a great looking tepee -it looks like you could build a campfire in the front room. But, to get away, I like to get down here On Florida) with my grandfather's ghost. LS: Your grandfather's ghost? DB: Yes, he still roams around here. At least I think he does, most people don't believe me. LS: Seems to me from your song "Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie" that you have some strong feelings about the South. DB: The song "Whistlin' Dixie" is my favorite song of all the songs I've written. In

fact, that's the only song that I would actually brag about As an artist or a writer, it's really easy to find fault with what you're doing. With "Whistlin' Dixie," I think it's a good song. That's why I was kidding

c

not really sure how, but I'm getting the royalties so I'm not complaining. LS: What inspired the writing of "Spiders And Snakes ?" DB: Howard woke up with a chicken snake in bed with him one morning, that's the truth. We had been living in Atlanta and had a band that flopped miserably. So we came back to the farm and decided we were going to live in the barn. We put a tape recorder out there and we were going to write songs. We had been out one night just roaming around the town and came in feeling pretty good. Howard slept on the other side of the barn and he woke up the next morning with this snake in his bed. Chicken snakes are totally harmless but they're huge, and he came flying out of that bed. I thought it was hysterical. That's where I got the idea to write "I don't like spiders and snakes." LS: How did Jim Stafford get the song? DB: When we got back from Atlanta, I had been shopping songs to a guy who had been working with Jim, and they had just had a regional hit called "Swampwater." He asked me if I had anything for Jim. I put two or three things on tape and sent it over to him, and "Spiders And Snakes" was one of them. Jim heard it and liked it a lot They called me and we re -wrote it on the telephone. Originally, I wrote it more melodic and Jim is more of a talker, so I re- wrote it in his style of singing. LS: "Let Your Love Flow" was such a huge hit on Top 40. Do you think that made it harder for you to be accepted as country artists? DB: It did for a year or two. What people didn't understand was that we were a country act that had a big pop record. There are other pop groups who have pop records and then go into country, but we'd been country for a long time. It just turned out that our first record was a major pop hit, and the people who were involved were not into breaking the record country. In fact,

the GAVIN REPORT/November 22, 1985



most of what it did in country it did on its

own, because they didn't work it country. We were disappointed about that, because country was a market we understood. When we decided we wanted to go into country and really pursue it hard, it took a

year or two to convince them that we weren't just passing through. LS: Since then, have you made a

conscious effort not to cross -over?

Time." You don't really use these lines in bars, do you? DB: I think if you used those lines in bars, you'd get killed. LS: Which of you brings the word play into your songs? DB: Both of us have a sense of humor that's definitely off -center. Howard's is off to the right and mine is off to the left. Both are pretty warped.

DB: No, I don't think we do anything consciously. The records we've cut in the last ten years, including "Let Your Love Flow," are records that we either found or wrote that we thought we could do a good job on. We like most of the records that we've put out, and that gives us a lot of satisfaction. I would hate to have a record out that I didn't like. We've had a lot of freedom in our career with people letting us pick and write our own material rather than someone saying, "Here's a song, now go ahead and record it" LS: How do you account for your incredible popularity in Europe? DB: I think when "Let Your Love Flow" came out in Europe, the ball got rollin' over there and it never stopped. Here, we have formats to deal with and in Europe that really doesn't happen. We had "Let Your Love Flow" and then a big hit called "Satin Sheets" right behind it We had three hits on our first album. The ball got rollin' and we never lost the momentum. In fact, I'm going back there tomorrow. LS: I was going to ask you if you tour there very often. DB: We go back at least once a year. I was there in April for three weeks and now I'm going back tomorrow for three weeks. LS: So you're still going strong over there? DB: Yes, in fact, last fall we had a gold album over there. LS: Your song titles definitely rank up there with the best: "If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body ... ," "You're My Favorite Waste Of

:

LS: Why do you think country re- accepted you after "Body ?" DB: I think Country radio was 100% responsible for us being successful. For some reason, they have really been great to us. I guess we either fit their format or something has happened that they just seem to have embraced us. Even when we had trouble in other areas, Country radio played our records and played them a lot. I

think that's a large part of the acceptance. LS: When you write songs, do you have a

place to write and do you write them together or separately? DB: We'll do anything that'll get us a hit, but .

we don't have a system for anything, especially writing songs. We're touring 220 to 230 days a year, so it's not like we can go home and retreat to the farm and write songs. We write as we go, and collect songs as we go. While we don't write everything we record, we do write most of them. When we do an album, we like to make everything sound like it's got a thread through it. So if we've written seven songs that sound good together, then we look for three more that sort of blend with the seven. Sometimes finding songs is harder than writing them. We've done a lot of songs with crazy titles and word play, but they're not what you call novelty songs. They have a twist, but we try to perform them seriously. "Beautiful Body" was a crazy title, but I

consider it a love song. Since we've had a lot of crazy titles, people send us a lot of those and we've collected some that you

1

wouldn't believe. We received one that was called "I Just Can't Leave Her Behind Alone." That's my favorite song title. LS: Are you two really old hippies? DB: Yes, we sure are. LS: What were your hippie days like? DB: We don't remember them (laughs). There's a lot of the hippie days that I miss. The '60s were a good time. especially for music. There were so many different types of music and it was all being integrated. That's when country and rock really began to blend. There were a lot of bad things about the '60s -the war and all that, but I

think that if it hadn't been for the war and the drugs, the '60s would have been a really great time. A lot of people look down on the '60s because the hippies were down on the establishment and the establishment was down on the hippies, but that's also what made it the '60s. I think it's interesting now when we do shows and guys in three -piece suits walk up to us and say, "I really love that song 'Old Hippie.' I'm an old hippie myself, but I had to get a job." He still has that little spark of freedom when he remembers being a hippie. Yes, we were definitely classified as hippies. We were country hippies, but hippies nevertheless. LS: I understand that you two have changed your lifestyle. Is that true? DB: Yes, it's like the song says, we're glad we quit drugs. We never were totally crazy, we just liked to have a good time and we were experimentors. We are now probably some of the cleanest living people in the country. We don't use any drugs, we don't drink alcohol, and there are a lot of processed foods that we don't eat. LS: How does it feel? DB: Feels great. When you keep a

schedule like we do, I don't see how people can get loaded and stay on the road. I see people out on the road 200 days a year partying every night. It would kill us. I like being in charge of all my facilities. We're workaholics. LS: Do you like the point of your career you're at now? DB: Yes, I do. I wish, I guess every artist wishes this, that we had more control over when we tour and when we come back. It

almost seems like you get too much of everything. When you're on the road too much you want to get home. And when you're in the studio, you want to go back on the road. You get such heavy doses of everything at once and I think it would be better if you could balance your life. But we try not to complain because we're real fortunate. LS: What did you think of Farm -Aid? DB: I thought it was one of the best ideas I'd ever heard of, but I was disappointed in

America for not supporting it more. I have nothing against sending money to other countries, but I think we ought to keep a little here and help our own. We wanted to be there because we're farmers too, but we were booked and couldn't break the engagement We're talking to people about doing the next Farm Aid already. I was very disappointed that they couldn't raise more money than they did. Everybody should've gotten off their wallets.

i NTRY S MMARY End of the year housecleaning started this week, as six records drop off the chart to make way for six debuts. EARL THOMAS CONLEY makes it to the top spot, while THE JUDDS patiently wait for a vacancy. Nine out of the Top Ten are gaining, which doesn't leave much room for new entrants next week.Nevertheless, you can count on the NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND and REBA McENTIRE to muscle their way through. "Bop" is rapidly becoming DAN SEALS most successful record ever, with 13 stations already charting him Top Ten, including WPOR- Portland, WKKW -Clarksburg, WFMS -Indianapolis, KYKR -Pt.

Arthur, KYOU -Greely /Ft.Collins, etc. The FORESTER SISTERS continue to show a strong growth pattern, with big jumps at WFMC (17 -18); WAAX (25 -13); KLIK (28 -21); WCMR (30 -23); KVET (30 -21); KYYX (20 -14); KYXE (16 -8); etc. BILLY JOE ROYAL debuts this week at #39, with good chart movement reported from stations playing it. DAN WILKINSON at WFMC reports that BILLY JOE is going crazy in Goldsboro, with major requests and sales. The TOMMY ROE record barely missed making it into Action Sides, with 18 stations this week, including WMMK, KWKH, KFGO, KUSA, KASE, KOLO, KRDR, etc. DAN OLSEN at

WXYQ has been playing a short medley of ROE's '60's hits as an intro to the song, and says it's getting good listener response.

SPECIAL REMINDER!!! The deadline for reporting this week will be Tuesday, the 26th, at 5PM due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Thanks!

O Longtime Gavin friend HERB ALLEN, Operations Manager at WFMS -Indianapolis, suffered a mild heart attack recently. Get well cards and letters can be sent to HERB in care of the station. Address is: 8120 Knue Road, Indianapolis, IN 46250.

P.D. NOTEBOOK by Eric Norberg

REQUESTS

For years, requests have been sneered at by research types as being unscientific and useless. Well, certainly unscientific --the sample selects itself, and is not necessarily representative of the station listening audience. Probably isn't, in fact. However, exactly the same can be said of Arbitron! Their scientific sample is skewed by those who choose to cooperate, by those who actually do cooperate by filling out and returning a diary, and by what motivates them to do so. The impulses are similar.

Those who request a record are either letting you know they like the record, or let you know it's hip to like the record. Those who keep the diaries (when they know in

advance they are being surveyed --as they are in the Arbitron method) let you know what stations they like, and what stations it's hip to like. Arbitron finds it expedient and useful to construct a rating out of this unscientific research. You may find it

expedient and useful to tabulate requests.

The fact of the matter is, that the majority of requesters --when you invite requests --tend to be the young, if they are

in your audience and tolerate your music to any degree at all. Since the young --and 'active " --shape future trends in the pop culture, keeping in touch with what they vote for has significance even for adult stations. It can lend vitality to formats that too frequently become stodgy.

Stations that invite requests, should faithfully tabulate them. There is useful information there for those who will see i'..

Stations that do not tabulate requests, should keep track of the calls anyway, although only in the case of an extraordinary new record which attracts significant audience interest is it likely to be useful in your programming. Don't reject any programming tool!

The secret in using any research method is proper evaluation. This is difficult, because you have something to evaluate your research against -- something to calibrate it with -- before you can have great confidence in it. In some instances, you can study consistent audience profiles of stations that use definable music approaches, and gain a rough calibration that way.

One tip based on my experience: There is greater unanimity in the tastes of young women than in young men, which may be why most "passive" or "call out" testing seems to favor the tastes of young women. Young women, so far, seem a bit more inclined to choose a hit -oriented format, and an AM station, than young men, if that helps.

But the main point I want to make is the pragmatic and statistically outrageous one: Whatever your research methods, no matter how outrageous, if you get useful data, they are worth the effort. (And the more outrageous they are, the harder it is for people to copy what you're doing --or even figure it out!) Conversely, no matter how methodically and statistically sound your methods, no matter how widely accepted and used they may be in the industry, if they lead you to program incorrectly, they're garbage.

Don't place your faith in any research method till you have ample objective evidence that the way you do them --and evaluate them --is giving you useful information you can be confident in!




the GAVIN REPORT DAVE SHOLIN'S Personal Picks - SINGLES

RON FELL'S Personal Picks - ALBUMS

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - My Hometown (Columbia) Another single from "Born In The USA "? Makes

sense to me. When an album this outstanding and powerful comes around, it holds up long enough to withstand extra heavy exposure. The Boss pulls at the heartstrings just in time for the holiday season.

WHITNEY HOUSTON - How Will I Know (Arista) And here's yet another album oozing hits. After

two smash ballads on the Top 40, A /C, and Urban charts, Whitney is currently taking a third single up the Urban chart. Not about to be typecast as soft and mellow, she comes out smokin' with one that sure sounds like top ten again.

ASIA - Go (Geffen) Organ intro is an attention getter as Asia turns

out their first release in over two years. As on previous efforts, they back an overpowering melody line with a full -blown production that is relentless. John Wetton's return to the band is a definite plus.

Marketing Representatives: Galliani Brothers.

Stevie Nicks "Rock a Little" (Modern) I couldn't get this one on one listen. Her music

is not for marshmellow roasts. For Stevie,love is a magic trick, a balancing act, a fire that can be hard to start and hard to put out. Her character is one who's been poisoned by passion and burned by unilateral love. I was particularly impressed with the insistance and persistence of the album's opener, I

CAN'T WAIT, the declaratory I SING FOR THE THINGS, a revealing SOME BECOME STRANGERS and the lead single, TALK TO ME.

Barry Manilow "Manilow" (RCA) Side one of this album is probably the strongest

single side of Barry Manilow in a decade of good music. There's no confusing this LP with the "Paradise Cafe" LP. He's back making the music that made him popular --full bloom production orchestrated in spiralling flourishes of songs which carry romantic torches through it all. The premiere single, IN SEARCH OF LOVE has re- established Barry as a

contender and a ballad like SOME SWEET DAY is bound to be a real show stopper.
