has normally staked his musical claim along the outer fringes of the pop scene A devotee of such decidedly non-mainstream conceptualists as British avant-garde guitarist Derek Bailey and dada rock composer Captain Beefheart he has also studied and recorded the classical music of Korea But on "Heart's Desire" he gives full vent to another facet of his musical background: garage rock Backed by a group that includes former Grateful Dead keyboard player Tom Constanten Mr Kaiser offers up a double-album's worth of live barroom rock and pop gems such as Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced" the Band's "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)" Neil Young's "The Loner" and the Dead's epic acid jam "Dark Star" Mr Kaiser's pop egalitarianism also extends to a fiery swamp-rock cover of "Ode to Billy Joe" as well as a Stockhausen composition and the theme to the "Andy Griffith Show" Not to be missed THE BLUE AEROPLANES Swagger EnsignChrysalis (all formats) Intriguing and original Britain's the Blue Aeroplanes make their US debut with "Swagger" With a wide-open sound that moves smoothly between blues folk and garage rock the band has a strong musical hand to play But it's lyricist Gerard Langley's urgent vocals that really get the In tune Continued from page 10 he says "We lived in a house where we had to bleach the walls to get rid of the filth Bugs were a way of life We had drug dealers in our front yard" Hmmmm sounds like a story the guys in Guns N' Roses might tell Junkyard plays Thursday at the Switch 2408 Paula St with the Black Crowes opening about 9:30 pm Advance tickets available at 1 the club and at College Beverage are $8 they'll be $10 the day of show 832-5411 Producer Byron McCay picked up the phone a couple of weeks ago and said hello to someone claiming to be Rich Hall the Charlotte-born comedian famous for his zingers and "Sniglets" The man said he wanted to cut a rap song at Mr McCay's JAG Studio that very morning A little suspicious Mr McCay agreed to the deal and got a Cary musician John Custer to do the music SHORT SPINS Blue Aeroplanes flying The album's credits include REM's Michael Stipe as well as a dancer Wojtek Dmochowski suggesting that the Blue Aeroplanes are a band with great expectations GREGORY GRAY Strong at Broken Places Atco (all formats) Irish folk-rocker Gregory Gray is an earnest fellow almost unbearably so With producer Davitt Sigerson (The Bangles David David) he has created an unnecessarily busy-sounding debut album to frame his breathless vocals Despite his excesses Mr Gray has something to say His scathing "When the Music Turns Into Money" is an indictment of the record industry's star system and the emphasis that established artists like Paul McCartney have put on ego over artistry The track should prove a contender at college radio and could make Mr Gray a singer to watch THE JONESES Hard Atlantic(all formats) The debut album by Boston quartet the Joneses is a textbook of album-oriented rock cliches "Hard's" first single "Everything Changes" was something of an underground hit in the band's hometown and spurred its signing to Atlantic The choice of label seems fortuitous as the group's sound consistently invites comparisons to one of that label's big acts Foreigner Los Angeles Times Syndicate About three hours later the person who made the call waltzed into the studio And it really was Rich Hall whom Mr McCay immediately offended by bringing up "Sniglets" "He kind of wrinkled his nose at that" Mr McCay said "I think it's like a Farrah Fawcett trying to do things other than 'Charlie's Angels' There was no more nose-wrinkling as the threesome got down to business Mr Hall's rap which took four hours to record advocated doing away with furs by using materials other than animal hide to make coats "'Watermelon rind and bottle caps' is what Mr McCay said "He said he got the idea when he was at his hotel and looked at the shower mat and figured out it must be made
