Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2004 11:17:12 EDT Subject: [peel] Zimbabwean Jit guitar Message-ID: <82.14fa2946.2e689378@...> I've been wondering if anyone knows of any so-called 'indie' bands, particular British groups from the past that were guitar-led and strongly influenced by African guitar styles, particularly Zimbabwean Jit, or maybe just had a passing resemblance to it. For ages I only owned the classic Juju Music by King Sunny Ade but recently bought a copy of The Four Brothers 'Makorokoto', a Peel favourite, I think. The vocals don't do much for me but the guitars are simply wonderful. It's such a brilliant style but Johnny Marr is the only one I can think of in British 'indie' music that got close to the technique (finger-picked? plectrum-fingers?). For instance, the opening of 'This Charming Man' sounds like any of the intro's to a Four Brothers song- what I love most about this guitar style is that it can be put to ironic use the way the backing for 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now' sounds so heavenly whilst the vocals sound so miserable. So if anyone has any secret knowledge of underground ‘indie’ bands or particular songs Peel has played over the years where the guitars are so ‘jangly’ they’re verging on the Zimbabwean Jit style, let me know. It's something that lends itself hilariously well to British miserablism. Rich. From Phyll@... Sat Sep 4 10:32:27 2004 From: Phyll@...

It's almost certainly irrelevant to the question, but wasn't the 3rd Bhundu Boys album called 'Jit Jive'? They spent a lot of time in the Scottish Borders, close by the home of 'King of Caledonian Cajun Swing' Champion Doug Veitch. I was hoping a brainwave was going to take me to Johnny Marr in the required 6 degrees, but I'm struggling - though I've always thought some of the Ron Johnson bands had a bit of a 'jit' feel to them. (I said "a bit"). On that tack, I saw Edwyn Collins the other night and there's that kind of feel to some of his stuff, but since he had Zeke Manyika on many of his albums that's no great surprise.

The 15-year-old, known only as Adam, delivered his damning judgement on Radio 4's Home Truths programme with John Peel on Saturday. Chatteris Town Council vice-chairman Sue Elam said: "It makes me feel incredibly sad, but it is not for want of trying. "Young people have to put their money where their mouth is. Chatteris Action for Youth got £3,900 lottery funding to create a youth council. "Posters went up and leaflets went out, but no-one came forward." Now the deadline has been put back to October 21 for a second try. Mrs Elam said Chatteris skate board park began as a teenager's idea and was now a reality. Chatteris now has a cyber cafe at Grove House, the Youthoria website and the mobile Teen-Machine bus which meets at the top of New Road at 7.30pm to 9pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, said Mrs Elam. Town councillor Chris Howes said: "You have got to have every sympathy with Adam's point of view. "We don't have a leisure centre, we don't have a public swimming pool, we don't have a gym. "You have no chance as a teenager of pre-driving age of going to the cinema in March- as the last bus back is about 6.30pm!" Labour's prospective parliamentary candidate for North East Cambs ffinlo Costain, who lives in Chatteris, said: "Adam is right, there is very little for kids to do in Chatteris and public transport is absolutely abysmal. "Kids do have a general suspicion of authority. "But we must work together to get the things they want rather than impose our will on them." Chatteris county councillor and Fenland District Council leader Alan Melton, said: "There are tennis, badminton and cricket clubs, an Internet cafe, a successful swimming club and Chatteris Working Men's Club welcomes children under supervision, but they can become members when they are 16.
