Rundgren,
Todd: State (Special Edition)
Todd Rundgren makes a long-awaited
return to the charts with his 2013 album 'State' --
but this time, it's on the dance
charts.]
No.
5: TODD RUNDGREN – STATE (POP/ROCK): Todd Rundgren’s State
ping pongs between electronica and full-on rock — sounding like a mash
up of the synthesized experiments of 2011′s (re)Production and the grinding
riffs of 2008′s Arena. As with the best of his music, State — Bon Iver
meets the Nazz? Or maybe Nine Inch Nails meets the Buggles? — is neither
fish nor fowl, at once diverse and of a piece. Still, for all of its blips
and burps of sound, Rundgren has actually collected some of his most finely
tuned recent performances at the mic here, recapturing the revealing depth
— if not the wondrous romanticism — that marked 1970s-era hits like
“Hello It’s Me.” — Nick DeRiso
2013/04/23
Rundgren’s
2004 effort Liars rose as high as No. 132 on the UK charts. Before that,
Rundgren’s last appearance on the Billboard album lists was with 1991′s
2nd Wind.
His
last Top 40 U.S. hit as a solo artist was 1978′s Hermit of Mink Hollow.
"State"
is #12 on the Charts! Congrats Todd

From
Cherry Red Records’ frontline label Esoteric Antenna...the opening TRack
His tour in support of the release
will begin in April and continue throughout 2013.
More details will be announced
early next year.
Cherry
Red Records’ frontline label Esoteric Antenna is proud to announce
that the legendary TODD RUNDGREN has signed to the label for a worldwide
deal for the release of his next studio album.
Todd Rundgren is a true original
in popular music. A highly creative and diverse musician, his work has
earned him a vast and loyal global following and immense respect from his
musical peers. As a songwriter, video pioneer, producer, recording artist,
computer software developer, conceptualist,
and interactive artist, Rundgren has made a lasting impact on both the
form and content of popular music. His production work with such stylistically
diverse artists as MEAT LOAF, NEW YORK DOLLS, PATTI SMITH, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD,
THE TUBES, XTC, CHEAP TRICK, PSYCHEDELIC FURS, AND HALL & OATES has
firmly placed him among the gifted elite of musicians and producers.
Esoteric Recordings label manager
Mark Powell said; “It really is an honour for all of us at Esoteric and
Cherry Red to be given the chance to work with such a ground-breaking icon
as Todd Rundgren on his next studio album. Throughout his career Todd has
continually thrilled and surprised with his music and
I’m sure his next album will
continue this fine tradition and legacy.”
Recording sessions for "State"
are underway.

Uosikkinen's In The Pocket: Essential Songs Of Philadelphia
From the band that brought national
attention to Philadelphia's pop music scene, The Hooters' David Uosikkinen
is recording what he feels, are the Essential Songs of Philadelphia.
The songs that drummer Uosikkinen
chose to revisit were either recorded in Philadelphia or written and performed
by Philadelphians. These essential songs feature David Uosikkinen's In
The Pocket, a rotating line up of Philly's most respected musicians.
Digital downloads are available
at songsinthepocket.org. Award Winning producer/director Steve Acito of
Bluewire Media produces a video documentary of the recording of each song.
A portion of the proceeds benefits
Philadelphia's Settlement Music School. With six branches in PA and NJ,
it is the largest community school of the arts in the United States serving
15,000 students each year regardless of age, race, or financial means.
Settlement Music School's alumni includes some of Philadelphia's most beloved
residents including Kevin and Michael Bacon, Chubby Checker, Stanley Clark,

"I'VE ALWAYS BEEN AGGRAVATED BY THE SO CALLED REMASTERING AND REPACKAGING
OF TR'S ALBUMS SO I DECIDED TO DO MY OWN "REMASTER" OF THE INITIATION ALBUM.
I DIDN'T DO MUCH TO THE SOUND, JUST TRIED TO MAKE IT SOUND AS NATURAL AS
POSSIBLE, KIND OF HOW THE MIXDOWN MASTER TAPE WOULD HAVE SOUNDED IN THE
STUDIO. I ALSO CORRECTED THE PITCH OF "TREATISE", WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN
CORRECTED SINCE IT WAS RELEASED. IT WAS RAISED ORIGINALLY DURING MASTERING
SO IT WOULD FIT ON ONE SIDE OF THE VINYL LP. I ALSO INCLUDED 4 SEQUENCES
THAT WERE USED DURING THE MIXING OF TREATISE THAT TODD FOUND ON A REEL
IN BEARSVILLE STUDIOS TAPE ARCHIVE IN 1998.
ALSO INCLUDED IS THE 45 RPM MIXES OF REAL MAN AND PRANA. ENJOY!" -mojorisen

my original attempt was with the Rhino edition.
the first action was the time stretch, then applied the pitch
keeping the duration. the final result was checked with my
ears and eyes comparing the graphic waves with the four

recorded the whole week. This one is the roughest of my masters, due to

** Special notes on this one
**
Private Party at CLB's in Kenosha on 7/4/1,
this will be the FIRST
full-sharing of my SBD MASTER cassette...
in
24/44.1Hi-Res
and
16/.441
(CD)
YEP, the show with me backing up Todd on "Mystified" and
TR playing my axes
running thru my pedals and '66 Fender Bassman amp
while singing into my Sure 58 mic and P.A.
This is taken directly from my Yamaha MT120 Multi-TRack
cassette tape recorder,
to Maxell UD-XL II using built-in dbx,
atop my P.A. Head-which fed the stereo signal to the
Deck.
It was played back on this same Deck directly into Cakewalk,
using gold ends, in 2008 at The
Lizardz' Old Den.
NO EQ-ing/normalizing/or ANY digital treatment or manipulation...sTRaight-up!
Yes...I've somehow waited this long to bust out this
beauty as digital flies.
The CD saw the light of day by a close few.
Somehow having the sense to
check levels on the Deck as I added the acoustic!
Greatest Day Ever!

My sealed Disc 2 was damaged by a badly creased inner-sleeve so I borrowed
his LP2 that had only been played once.
The Double Vinyl is STELLAR and sounds AMAZING but the 'flips' are
in strange places. I made these as natural as possible.

This special piece was captured by Fellow
Lizard TRavis after he vacuumed it...WOW, what a HUGE difference
that makes!
Travis also uses a Tube Pre-amp...I'll attempt to get his system

Please note that the Sides are in reverse order of their
original U.S. counterparts. I have no idea why they switched them but they
did.
Closing the album with "Chain Letter" sure has a different
effect than closing with "Remember Me" yet both are Classic Todd Tunes
with incredible lyrics.
Thanks Dave K, twarrenh, and Travis!

Buzzy Linhart - "The Black Album" - mixed by Todd
Includes guest star MOOGY KLINGMAN on organ AND future
Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers session man supreme Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on acoustic

The Black Album may be the least commercial of Buzzy’s
efforts, but it is solid musicianship and contains sounds that drew from,
as well as inspired, past and future works of Ten Wheel Drive, Bette Midler,
Utopia, Jimi Hendrix, and Steely Dan, and it is all quite staggering. (Allmusic

the TR-produced tunes done on [re]PRODUCTION.

also...
Inspired by [a]PRODUCTION,

Here's this great album in .flac
format:

These .flacs are lossless compression
that can be easily converted
to .wav files for CDs,
or mp3s for those that do that,
by using a free prgram such as
Trader's Little Helper or Switch File Converter by NCH.
It's a wonderful side of TR, Moogy
(R.I.P.), and much of Todd's 1971 crew
like N.D. Smart, Stu Woods, Matt
"Guitar" Murphy, David Sanborn...
and the many others.

Celebrating 40 Years of TR
Celebrate 40 Years of Todd!
Get your name in Rolling Stone in 2007
TODData is at it again, and this time
we're going for the big one.
In 1992, fans helped sponsor a b/w classified Rolling Stone ad to celebrate
20 Years of Something/Anything?
Last time, we ran a full-color quarter page ad to celebrate 30 Years
of TODD (the album).
Now, since NAZZ hit the streets in 1967, it's time to for 40 Years of
Todd.
TODData is facilitating a full page ad in
Rolling Stone.
It's going to take a lot more fans to make this happen.
So, for a limited time, a donation of just $5 is all it takes to get
your name in a 2007 Rolling Stone Magazine tribute ad.
The exact issue and run date of the ad is yet to be determined.
A prize schedule for larger donations will be added.
News on past events and current progress is in the works.
For more, email info@TODData.com
Contribute $5 before March 31, 2007 to reserve your space.
The minimum donation amount is subject to change.
To participate:
Send your donation via PayPal (select "service" as the category) to:

from Bill himself....
"Greetings!
I know it’s only been a few short years since we pooled our efforts
to celebrate 30 Years of Todd (the album). But since I discovered 2007
is the 40th anniversary of Rolling Stone Magazine AND the 40th anniversary
of the birth of NAZZ, I am compelled to mark the occasion. As you no doubt
recall, last time out we gathered enough fans and enough money to run a
quarter page full-color ad in issue #965 of Rolling Stone. It would not
have been possible without the support of each and every participant.
So I will take this opportunity to say THANKS once again for that great
success.
This time, I believe it is possible to generate enough interest and
enthusiasm to run a full page ad for 40 YEARS OF TODD. As before, a prize
table will be set up for different donations amounts. And some great offers
are being finalized as I write to you. However, a full page ad is a big
goal, and funds are needed throughout the whole campaign to get to the
finish line by the reserve date of October 12.
That is the latest date to assure inclusion in the November special
issue which will focus on the innovators in Rock history.
In my book, that’s a perfect fit for TR.
October is a long way off. However, it is a mistake to wait until then
to opt in. It takes a bit of advertising and promotion to make this all
happen. There are things to do right now to help this come about. First
and foremost, Todd is on tour now. This means thousands of fans who might
not hear about this project are congregated at venues across the country.
The immediate need is for printing announcement post cards to send to all
fans who are willing to get them to show locations. I have already produced
an on-line PDF for any highly motivated fans to download, print, cut, and
distribute.
But it is more cost efficient and easier on everyone if I use some
of the early proceeds to get a big run of cards made.
I guess I buried the lead, but the big news is at the start of this
round in order to get the most fans involved as I can, I am only asking
for a $5 donation to qualify for getting name listing in the ad.
If you are getting this email, it means you participated in either
30 Years of Todd, or 20 Years of Something/Anything? or both.
So I am hoping the idea of doing this again with the goal of a full
page ad is something you want to support and support early on.
Please visit www.toddata.com for all the details, and don’t wait to
send your contribution to TODD40@toddata.com via www.paypal.com. You may
also mail check or money order to the address below. And also please consider
printing and distributing post cards if you are going to see the Power
TRio or the New Cars.
As cliché as it sounds, this can’t happen without the fans behind
the idea.

Bill

"New" music this summer
According to a press release from Digital Music Group, Inc.,
they have acquired the rights to Todd's archive material and plan to
release some this summer:
Todd Rundgren/Utopia: The Todd Rundgren and Utopia archive features
approximately 2,000 never-before-released live recordings, demos, out-takes,
and alternate versions from 1977 to 2000. It also includes a significant
array of never-before seen video footage as well. Rundgren, both an accomplished
songwriter and producer whose hits "I Saw the Light," "Can We Still Be
Friends," "Hello, It's Me," and "Bang the Drum" vaulted him from a cult
following to stardom, formed Utopia in the mid-1970s.
The archive includes never before seen or heard rare audio and video
performances from both Rundgren as a solo artist and Utopia.
The first of these previously unreleased audio and video performances
will be released in the summer of 2007.

Getting To Know: Todd Rundgren
by Lisa Hood-Anklewicz
Who He Is:
A musician; a songwriter; a producer; an engineer; a programmer; a
pioneer. It is hard to define just who Todd Rundgren is, probably
because he's never allowed his career to stay in one category long enough
for anyone to define him. Rundgren's desire for exploration
of new avenues and sounds has left each release to be viewed as having
a different “gimmick.” However, at the core, it cannot
be denied that Rundgren is truly one of the most innovative artists of
the last thirty years.
Born June 22, 1948, Rundgren began playing guitar as a child, picking
up the basics from some early guitar lessons and then teaching himself
the rest. At the age of 16 he formed his first band, Money.
After high school, and a second band experience with Woody's Truck Stop,
Rundgren formed and led the late sixties group The Nazz. After
two albums, Rundgren left The Nazz and began to work on his own solo career.
Over the next twenty-odd years, Rundgren moved between production and
engineering work, some early computer programming and experimentation,
not to mention the constant stream of releases moving between his solo
work and the work he did with his band Utopia. Moving into
the nineties, Rundgren's work with computers began integrating itself quite
heavily into his music, leading him to become a pioneer in musical multimedia.
How To Spot Him:
Spotting Todd Rundgren musically can be rough work if you don't know
what you're looking for. His personal sound is ever changing,
his love for technology can make even his distinctive voice hard to spot,
and he has had his hands in more recordings than you can wrap your head
around. So that leaves spotting him physically, and that is
the one way that is never too difficult. Rundgren is tall,
very lean and looks ever youthful. Often sporting at least
one streak of blonde in his hair, Rundgren remains that gawky tech geek
that everyone loved back in high school.
Vital Fact:
Rundgren's production career took off with the success of Meat Loaf's
Bat Out of Hell in 1977, the cinematic quality of which Rundgren played
a large role. From there Rundgren began to work with numerous
artists, including the New York Dolls, Patti Smith, XTC, and The Psychedelic
Furs to name a few. In fact, his production work is so extensive
that in 1992, Rhino released an 18 track album titled An Elpee's Worth
of Production , consisting solely of samples of Rundgren's wide range of
production work; from Grand Funk Railroad to Jill Souble. Incidentally,
the album title is a nod to a Rundgren song called “An Elpee's Worth
of Toons,” from his 1974 release Todd .
Not So Vital Fact:
In 1979, Rundgren opened Utopia Video Studios and in 1980 created the
first commercially available music video for “Time Heals” from his
album Healing . It was also the first video to make use of
the combination of live action and computer graphics, and went on to be
the second video ever played on MTV when it launched in 1981.
Where to Start:
No World Order ( 1993) – “Don't let no one tell you that
god ain't got a sense of humor / Someone said he's pissed off, but that
was just a rumor / I know he's laughin' when the preacher starts to scream
about / How trippin' is evil, and sex is unclean.”
Although No World Order met with fairly poor critical reviews and even
put off some of Rundgren's core fans when it was released, I still think
this is a good place to start for someone new to Todd Rundgren. No
World Order is more than just another album, and really has the combination
of many different elements that make up Todd Rundgren and his incredibly
diverse career.
Musically, No World Order is an electronic heavy album fully composed,
performed and produced by Rundgren alone. The feeling of the
album is a little bit spunky and lends itself well to a dance floor.
The vocal performances are mixed extensively, and Rundgren even experiments
with some rap and spoken word. Lyrically, the album lends itself
to a political statement, with a few messages that are still relevant in
the current world climate.
The album consists of ten original songs, some of which have been presented
in multiple mixes by Rundgren, to make up the full sixteen song tracklist.
“Day Job” takes a stab at the corruption of not only the corporate
world, but the political and star systems as well as the different social
classes. The title track consists of only two verses, but has
a potent message about the changes in world society, while “Property”
takes a more personal turn, although nonetheless potent. “Darkest
day in history when someone invented property / Cause of our misery is
the constant lust for property”.
Technologically, No World Order was a huge advancement for the music
industry. Released under the moniker TR-I (Todd Rundgren Interactive),
No World Order , was one of the first interactive CD-ROM releases in the
music industry. Rundgren broke down the tracks of No World
Order and presented them in small snippets, giving the listener a chance
to see the music in a different way and remix it as they see fit.
Key Cuts: “Property,” “Fascist Christ,” “Day Job.”
Something/Anything? ( 1972) – “Some people never can be satisfied
/ less they push somebody else around / But I can't give no aid or take
no side / I just watch them drag each other down because / Some folks is
even whiter than me /Some folks is even blacker than me /I got myself caught
in the middle somewhere /And that's just where I want to be”
Something/Anything? is the album that initially propelled Rundgren
to pop stardom. It's a four side release that has a new musical
theme on each side. Over the years, each side has been labelled
by the fans, which gives a pretty good description of the overall sound
of the album; side one is "a bouquet of ear catching melodies”; side
two is “the cerebral side”; side three is “the kid gets heavy”;
and side four is a mock pop operetta. The fourth side of the
recording is the only part of Something/Anything? that Rundgren didn't
do completely on his own. Much of his career would be characterized
by work that Rundgren wrote, played and produced alone.
Something/Anything? produced two Top 40 hits for Rundgren with “Hello
It's Me” and “I Saw The Light.” Although the album clocks
in at almost a full ninety minutes, it is a very tight and well produced
project. There are numerous tips of the hat to an endless list
of artists that influenced Rundgren, but none in a way that blatantly leaves
him wearing his influences on his sleeve, and all along the way there is
plenty of room for that special idiosyncrasy that can belong only to Rundgren.
Key Cuts: “I Saw the Light,” “Couldn't I Just Tell You,” “Hello
It's Me.”
Nearly Human ( 1989) – “For the want of a nail, the world was lost.”
When Nearly Human hit record stores, it had been four years since Rundgren had released any material, and Utopia had disbanded in the meantime. He had been working behind the scenes in the studio through those years, and when he decided to record Nearly Human , he did it live off the studio floor. Working with a slew of musicians, Rundgren put out one of the more successful albums his career had seen in quite some time and the music was viewed as much more accessible than what Rundgren had become known for. Leading off with “The Want of a Nail,” a strong and thoughtful soul-pop song, Nearly Human begins to show its theme, as stated so clearly in the title of the album. The album is highlighted with “Parallel Lines,” a deeply emotional song that highlights Rundgren's skills as a songwriter: “ So I send you the gift of empathy / If you'd once in your life acknowledge me / I have visualized so thoroughly / That when I think of me I think of we.” Continuing with a heavy line of soul influenced R&B throughout the album, Rundgren wraps up the Nearly Human exploration with “I Love My Life,” a highly upbeat and poignantly delivered song which finishes off the with a bit of a spiritual sentiment; “Look over there, look over here / I can see it, there is beauty in the world.” Key Cuts: “The Want of a Nail,” “Parallel Lines,” “Hawking.”
A Wizard A True Star ( 1973) – “Here we are again, the start of the end, but there's more I only want to see if you'll give up on me”
The first track on A Wizard A True Star is “International Feel,” whose lyrics have been analyzed and overanalyzed by fans and critics alike since the album was released. After the commercial success of Something/Anything? , Rundgren's follow up release miffed a number of people and some say it killed his pop career. On the other hand, A Wizard A True Star reflects so much of what Rundgren is as a musician, and showed the potential of not only Rundgren's career, but of the potential of music period. Admittedly, A Wizard A True Star is not a commercially accessible album, but you can't explore Rundgren fully without exploring this album. There is quite a bit of experimentation on the album and the music flirts with psychedelia. The majority of the songs don't even hit the two minute mark, leaving them all to flow into each other and allowing Rundgren to guide the listener on his own personal mind trip. It is an album that requires the listener to really pay attention and truly listen . The album can feel heavy sometimes, or a little indecisive, however, there is an underlying plan that one has to look for. Given the general thought that Rundgren sabotaged his career by releasing this album, and the daring/prophetic nature of the opening lyrics, I find it a little ironic that the album ends with a song titled “Just One Victory,” an appropriate bookend. “Give us just one victory, it will be all right / We may feel about to fall but we go down fighting / You will hear the call if you only listen / Underneath it all we are here together shining still.” Key Cuts: Sometimes I Don't Know What to Feel, Just One Victory, Zen Archer
Liars ( 2004) – ““There's no anger in me, you must mean someone else / Cause it's not me that you see, you're looking at yourself / And I won't give you a prize instead of someone else /Cause I don't play favorites, so get over yourself”
Rundgren's songwriting inspiration for this album began after the 2000 U.S. presidential election, and over the next few years Rundgren penned and collected the songs that would become Liars. For Rundgren, Liars came down to an exploration of truth and the realization of how little there is of it in the world. Again, he cleverly bookends the album with two songs whose titles clearly tell the listener about the territory he is exploring with this album. Kicking off with “Truth” (“I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna find the truth / Cause it ain't here, it's nowhere near”), and finishing with “Liar” (“Liar / And you send them to their death / With your every lying breath”), Rundgren takes the listener on a very focused trip in which he supplies a never ending line of questions that leave you re-thinking and re-questioning the world around you.
Musically, Liars doesn't really break any new ground for Rundgren like his previous releases had done. However, it is the definitive combination of all that he has done in his musical career. The album moves seamlessly between the soul-based songs that will be familiar from Nearly Human ; the beats and electronic experiments of No World Order ; and the sweetness of a simple pop song that Rundgren mastered on Something/Anything? . Because of these combinations, Liars was very close to being the first recommendation on this list. It only got bumped because sometimes it's just more rewarding to know where you are going before you get there. Key Cuts: “Sweet,” “Future,” “Liar.”
Where to Go From Here & What To Avoid:
Okay, so you've gotten yourself in and comfortable with Rundgren somewhere
along the line, the question is where to go from here? As the
Where to Start list clearly shows, Rundgren is not a typical artist, nor
is he one that can be defined in one musical genre, which makes this part
a little tougher to figure out. Have you sided with Todd's
more mainstream side or with his more experimental side, or have you embraced
them both? The answer could seriously affect the next choice
of this list, which is why I've decided to do this a little differently
than the Getting To Know articles of the past.
For an artist whose catalogue is as diverse as Rundgren, it's nearly
impossible to advise someone to avoid a portion of their work because none
of it is ever the same. Although his core fans have a deep
appreciation for everything that Rundgren has done, it is also just as
hard to advise someone which way to explore his career. So
here are my suggestions, dependant on if you choose to delve deep into
the collection of more accessible and mainstream releases or if you'd prefer
to follow along the experimentation track.
For “Mainstream” Todd Rundgren...
Runt: The Ballad of Todd Rundgren (1971) – This was Rundgren's second
solo release after leaving The Nazz and came before the success of Something/Anything?
. Ballad is really just a beautiful example of Rundgren's developing
talents early in his career.
The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect (1983) – This album contains
what is probably the most recognized Rundgren song in the pop culture climate,
“Bang The Drum All Day,” Much like that song, The Ever
Popular Tortured Artist Effect is filled with a pop cohesiveness that makes
it one of Rundgren's best collections of pop songs. Lyrically,
the songs don't delve as deep as Rundgren typically likes to go, but the
songwriting never suffers. Many of the songs have a bit of
a quirky or tongue-in-cheek feel but it only adds to the carefree feel
of the overall album.
Hermit of Mink Hollow (1978) – For the first time since the recording
of Something/Anything? , Rundgren tackled this project completely solo,
doing all the writing, recording, playing and production on his own.
Hermit of Mink Hollow is also the first truly focused album since Ballad
in 1972, as it contains a smaller scope of musical exploration than Rundgren
had been doing thus far. The music seems much more personal,
and the lyrics contain a highly emotional element. Ultimatly,
Hermit of Mink Hollow is the album that would have been the follow up to
Something/Anything? , that is, if Rundgren hadn't decided to go another
way.
For “Experimental” Todd Rundgren...
A Cappella (1985) – A Cappella is an album composed entirely, well,
a cappella. The whole concept of the album was formed around
Rundgren's desire to experiment with technology and music, developing ten
songs comprised entirely of only his voice. Altered, looped,
layered and reproduced, Rundgren's voice creates a full spectrum of outstanding
sound; think much more synthesizer/electronic than Bobby McFerrin.
The whole recording is filled with precision and details that make it hard
to believe that it is only Rundgren's voice that you are hearing, but those
details are also what make A Cappella such an intriguing listen.
Healing (1981) – Healing was a move for Rundgren from the more mainstream
Hermit of Mink Hollow , into a work that is more reflective, spiritual
and slightly tempered from his former albums. Leaving the “rock”
on the shelf for this one and focusing the music with synthesizers and
electronic sounds shows more of Rundgren's love for technology, and also
produces the album's meditative feel. Much like many of his
works, Healing has a theme, focusing on the spiritual properties of music
and their effects. As “new-age” as that sounds, remember that Healing
came long before the New Age market was truly created and exploited like
it is today.
With A Twist (1997) -- I end this with With A Twist simply because
it encapsulates two great pointers into one, a collection of Rundgren's
best work combined with the quirkiness he is often known for.
While With A Twist is essentially a greatest hits collection, Rundgren
throws a curve ball at you with it, having re-recorded each song in a Bossa
Nova style. The result is a lounge feel that even compares at points to
elevator music, but that is the beauty of the album. Many artists
have re-recorded and re-released their material, but who outside of Rundgren
has ever done so with such audacity?
Everything Else You Need To Know:
Literally everything and anything you could hope to find about Todd Rundgren is on this website. For the Todd beginner, it may seem a little hard to navigate as the entire site seems to “coded” in Todd-isms, however, it is well worth the decoding to find the wealth of information that is hidden in this corner of the internet.

Injury stalls New Cars, Blondie tour
June 13, 2006 08:45 PM
by Rob Evans
liveDaily Editor
Though he soldiered on to play a handful of shows after suffering a
broken left clavicle, The New Cars (music)' guitarist Elliot Easton's injury
has forced the group's Road Rage Tour with Blondie (music) to "take a hiatus,"
according to a press release.
Easton underwent surgery on Monday (6/12) due to the severity of the
break; without the surgery, he could have had limited use of his shoulder.
The guitarist was hurt last week when he was thrown from a bunk as the
band's tour bus swerved to evade another vehicle, according to the group's
publicist.
"It was amazing that after the accident Elliot played four more shows in a brace and in constant pain," Blondie's Debbie Harry said in a statement. "He really tried his best to keep on playing so he should be given a great deal of credit for that. We all wish him a speedy recovery."
The tour had been scheduled to run through early July. There was no
immediate word as to when--or if--the planned shows would be rescheduled.

(load into RealPlayer)
Chairman Specter, Senator Leahy and members of the Committee:
My name is Todd Rundgren, I am 58, and I am a professional musician. I have also been employed as a record producer, composer for film and television, technology spokesman and computer programmer. I am the designer and developer of PatroNet, an internet-based subscription service that allows audiences to provide direct underwriting of artists in exchange for insider information, direct communication, discounted merchandise and first-look experiences of the artists' work, all within a community structure.
This is my 40th year as a musician, and 18th year as an independent. I left Warner Brothers in 1998 with the conviction that the major labels were unprepared for, and were indeed hostile to the inevitable changes that digital technology would effect in the way that music would be created, marketed and experienced. I wasn't so prescient that I foresaw the rise of the internet, but I was convinced that I would be hindered in any attempt to use new developments to alter the ground rules.
One of the first cutting edge projects I was involved in concerned digital rights management, a concept that did not yet exist. I was hired by, ironically enough, the Warner Full Service Network, an interactive television pilot project that sought to merge video, computers and high-bandwidth home delivery. The plan was to create on-demand music services that could be navigated on one's home TV -- kind of like an iTunes for the early '90s. When it came time to plug the music in, everything I had suspected about the savvyness of the industry was crystallized. To a label, every one of the majors refused to consider the possibility of putting music they controlled onto a server. Ironically, even the music division of Warner Brothers would not cooperate, even though this was only a demonstration project.
Ever since then, the behavior of the majors has been that of a mindless parasite, contributing nothing, yet trying to get it's snout into the bloodstream of any new development. The knee-jerk justification is "protection of artists", which would more accurately be represented as the interests of highly bankable artists still under contract. For every one of those, there are a hundred with a lifelong bad taste in their mouths over the way they were treated when sales began to lag. I have striven to tie together the "replacement parts" an independent musician would need to build enough audience for a sustainable living. Amongst these is, of course, the internet and a raft of contractors who can press and distribute discs for you and, if you can afford it, take on the promotion and marketing normally provided by a label. The only problem is getting heard. Terrestrial radio, especially of the syndicated flavor, is not available to most artists even if they do have a traditional label deal.
I am opposed to any measures that would insinuate the major labels into an area that they have failed to husband, and to capitalize off of artists they have abandoned or never had any interest in. The myth that you could survive very long on record company advances has long been debunked. Players need to play to get paid and need audiences to play to. All the majors have ever done is try to claim the audience as theirs alone, and to lower expectations by exposing them only to the generally substandard product the majors begrudgingly underwrite.
Worse yet, across the board fee structures like those proposed discourage the exposure of new talent in deference to audience favorites as broadcasters try to recover those fees. And worst of all, syndicated radio, the majors partner in neglect, does not deserve exemption for the abysmal quality of product they deliver. The fantasy that this type of legislation helps music or musicians should be summarily exposed for what it is: yet another futile attempt to turn back the clock to the days when they were the sole gatekeepers to an artist's future.
Thank you for inviting me here to testify today. I would be pleased
to respond to your questions.

March 14
was a big day
The long-awaited/expected collaboration of Todd and Donald
Fagen will bear fruit. On March 14 (a familiar date for another TR
event) will see the release of Donald Fagen's latest solo effort "Morph."
Digital retail versions will also include a bonus track of a TR-produced/Al
Green-penned "Rhymes" which also features Todd in some capacity. News
releases don't give much detail about how to acquire it otherwise. The
specific quote is:
"According to Warner Bros. VP of marketing Eric Fritschi, the label
will sweeten the pot for digital retailers by offering "Morph The Cat"
with a bonus cover of Al Green's "Rhymes," produced by and featuring
Todd Rundgren."

Hello it's me.
This is my list of Todd,Utopia and related CD-rs, created with the
dedication and cooperation of many individuals, named and unnamed in the
list. It is the purpose of this page to spread what is available to those
who wish to trade.
These items are NEVER FOR SALE unless at some point Todd can profit
from them. This discussion has been held with Todd and he feels those who
sell this stuff are stealing from him...
You can combat this by buying every single product he offers! I would
expect that those coming here already have a complete collection. Please
buy all official products! Sign up for Patronet!
Support Todd rather than buying illegal stuff from ebay-don't be part
of the problem... TRade instead with any of the other fine traders listed
on the connection http://trconnection.com/home/bttbor
in the circuit.
Also, please do not burn CDs any faster than 8X burning speed in an
effort to avoid glitches in the TRansfer...and i prefer to have as little
writing as possible on the CD itself. please use the inner circle if possible.
Also there is no need to send plastic cases as it gets expensive...sleeves
of any sort are fine.
Artwork is welcome but not necessary. Contact information is jeff@weavils.comand
at the bottom of this page. thanks much!

LUNCHBOX 2. OPEN MY EYES. ONLY ONE WINNER. SOME PEOPLE. KICKS. FORGET ALL
ABOUT IT. MAGIC ME. MERIDIAN LEEWARD. UNDER THE ICE. SOME PEOPLE. ONLY
ONE WINNER. NAZZ COMMERCIALS.

CD TWO: THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG. WHY IS IT ME. THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED. SHE MUST BE BLIND. ROCK ME BABY. Note: a boot collection from air mail recordings via distortions records from philly that features some hilarious nazz stuff, especially the end of kicks, the vocal deliveries on some people, and the commercials. disc two was a complete shocker to me upon first listening as i had always understood woody's TRuck stop to be a blues band and little could be farther from the truth as this is mid/late '60s psychedelic madness/beauty ala san francisco scene. A MUST HAVE!!!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Note: here is the first ever tr production and the first ampex release a-10101 for albert grossman's bearsville label, released on ampex. this is a rock album but not too hard, kind of byrds-ish in spots. very straight forward early production style by todd-this is the album deal that brought paul fiskin to bearsville and into tr's life for the runt deal soon to follow. it has quickly become one of my favorite todd productions. scott did a wonderful job transferring this from my cassette from a clean piece of vinyl...thanks scott! |
|||
| 1971 | JERICHO | LP TRANSFER | 41:36 |

IS IT MY NAME?. THE IKON (CUTS)
Note: please all take note that istvan has solved the mystery-it is 4/2/74. here is the original listing: this is the overlooked (until now) and the much debated kc 74... there are no vocals on the ikon and it is almost "letter perfect" tune.
was the eyeball album still being tinkered with or what?.. todd annouces
they'd not done it before.. sound is pretty strong. peformance instrumentally
is stunning...this may be as tightas they ever got in the BIG UNIT. it's
perhaps the best perfomed version of the ikon mistake and tight-wise (40+
min).. anyhow, another reason this show is weird is because of is it my
name?....the tune was part of 73 but not frequent at all in 74...strange
days indeed. the possibilities are:
.. anyhow if anyone has an answer that this date is wrong let me know... or knows the real story and sequence, id be curious to know...great one here if you love the early stuff, as i do. |

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODD! |

A MUST-HAVE for all collectors of old. todd gets lost in a solo section of the ikon and all laugh...priceless! sound is far superior to the cassette but still slightly "dark". highly psychedelic! |

Todd Rundgren Tells the Truth
(or The Things His Hairdresser Doesn't Know)
Ben Edmonds, Creem, November 1974
1972: THE FIRST – and to be disastrously short-lived – tour of Todd Rundgren's Utopia has stopped for a breather in Chicago. The band is cruising the Loop by foot, but the welcome they're receiving from the locals is hardly what you'd expect for visiting rock & roll dignitaries. It could be their flash clothes, but more likely it's the hair: Jean-Yves Labat is sporting a bright green lime 'do, Hunt Sales has had his sharply skunked, his brother Tony's is day-glo pink, while Todd's is every color they have a name for and then some.
Whatever the cause, the effect is a shitrain of indignation. Sailors whistle and old women threaten to have coronaries as they pass, cars screech to a halt in disbelief, and even hippies feel obligated to be rude. 1964 all over again, just a little more colorful this time around. "See the thing is," says Todd as he dodges the insults, "that before long none of this will be so weird. Pretty soon kiddies will be pestering their parents ... 'Aw, c'mon Mom, just a little purple on the side...'"
1974: "IT GETS to the point" says the same Todd Rundgren, the color in his hair: faded almost to nothing, "where you wonder if all somebody's gonna do is make jokes. Is that it? Or aren't you gonna turn your ability into something more than a joke. There's still just as much humor in what I do, it just gets more subtle all the time. A lot of the humor in my music before was along the lines of nervous laughter. Which is not really humor; it's laughing so you don't have to think about what's rally there. The reason I made the records funny in a certain way was to show people that I wasn't obligated to make them serious. And so if somebody thinks I'm obligated to make funny records now, then it's time to make serious records."
The Todd Rundgren Cult was marshalled by the principal's exhibitionism. With Todd there was always a show; a performance to be given even if the venue was as trivial as an ad for Billboard. Following his activities was like watching a mescaline cartoon, but every child star, for better or worse, eventually grows up and graduates to prime time. With Todd, the process of artistically growing up was attacked with the same flamboyance which characterised his adolescence. He was, some said, like a kid turned loose in an intellectual candy store. "What he on?" others would ask. But it was really the same old Todd. Though the scene had shifted from high school to some supposedly loftier academy, you could still count an occasional spitball from the side of the room.
"I'm not trying to tell anybody anything," he contends. "I just do it for the people that ask. People that want to know what a person in my position experiences. That's the only thing that's worth telling them. They want to know what's different about the existence that I lead; what distinguishes me from them. Why do they write to me and I don't write to them? Why am I on the stage and they're in the audience? But I'm not obsessed with it. I don't think 'What's my seriousness quota this month' . . ."
As he stretched his old songforms farther and farther away from their
safely limited definitions, however, the danger arose that he might actually
vanish beyond their comprehension, he stood to negate his greatest and
longest-standing asset: his ability to involve people in whatever it is
he's doing.
But Todd, ever untrue to any form, sees it a little differently.
"I never make records for the masses" he states flatly. "If the masses
buy 'em, that's fine. But I actually expect that the more people buy 'em,
the less people will understand will understand 'em. Because people will
begin to buy them out of habit, knee-jerk reaction.
The more popular my records become, the less accessible I have to be,
if only to make people question why they bought it in the first place."
Oh, so it's almost as if you're issuing a challenge to your audience.
"In a certain way I am. This is a generation of big-mouths that, despite
whatever we might find prettiest to think, has done nothing to make a genuine
difference. We all know where things should be, but it's too easy to be
static.
And I don't make records to pacify people into that position even further.
"Most people making records today are making a living. If you actually
do sell records, people suddenly believe that the record which sold contains
within it that magic stuff that makes them saleable, and they build on
imitation from there. 'Well, there's my style, what I've been looking for,
because it makes me a living.' This is one of the few lines of work where
that's possible. You can't be a doctor and experiment on people until you've
found that magic formula.
You have to go through a lot of serious discipline to do it effectively,
like going to med school for eight years."
Though his records now sell quite handsomely (even if the rank & file in his audience is still struggling to break past ‘Hello It's Me’) he's maintained the luxury of a cult within his following, a sub-audience that's more than willing to lie down on his operating table with earphones on. There are the fans, and there are the True Believers. He can afford to play this extravagant cat and mouse game because, in the end, he doesn't make records for a living. When the time comes to pay the rent, he'll go out and produce one instead.
It almost seems that whenever he finds himself with a spare month on his hands, he systematically sets about filling that time with as much outside production work as he can squeeze in. The last time anyone looked, he was simultaneously producing Hall & Oates, Felix Cavaliere, the Hello People, and a Utopia album (not to be confused with a Todd album, which will follow). Oh, yes, and he was investigating the possibility of working in a Laura Nyro album somewhere along the line. Is this in fact the way the process works? "More or less," Are you good enough to get away with it? "Yes. But I give artists the kind of record they want to have. Sometimes what they want might be miles away from what I think they're capable of, but in the end it's their record."
"My own records, of course, come out of a totally different consciousness. Which, good or bad, is at least my own. So many people go through life without a direction. They just go from stop to stop. It's like they're on a bus, and the only time they get off is to piss. And to avoid thinking about why they might be alive, they just fill up their time with things to do. So to communicate effectively, you have to make yourself appear to have a purpose. People like to think "If I'm confused and don't know what the hell I'm alive for, at least somebody does. So there must be a reason for me too. I just don't know it." So out of all this arises my responsibility to affirm for them that they do have a reason."
Take it or leave it. At least it's
never dull.
