  Rarebird's Spotlight Album Review #6: hindu love gods (1990)
The first recorded appearance of the hindu love gods came as a 7-inch single released by I.R.S. Records in 1986.
The self-titled full-length album was recorded live in the studio in 1987, around the same time as Zevon's album Sentimental Hygiene, on which the REM musicians guested.
The album, which was finally released on the Giant label in 1990, contains covers of blues classics from the likes of Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, a bluesy interpretation of Woody Guthrie's "Vigilante Man", and a harder-rocking rendition of the Prince hit "Raspberry Beret".

 Warren Zevon : Forgotten Rock Star (JMcQ) by JMcQ
Another strong album, but one that is much more darker in tone than its predecessors, Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School had the major hit “A Certain Girl” (#45 on Billboard charts), and the chest-beating “Play It All Night Long”, the emotion-filled “Jeannie Needs A Shooter”, and the immensely introspective “Gorilla, You’re A Desperado”.
Since what the Hindu Love Gods created was pretty much just reworking other bands’ songs, the act did not wish the tapes to be released.
As has been mentioned before, the Hindu Love Gods album was released against the wishes of all members of the act in 1990.

On this album, harsh industrial sounds (gnashing synth-bass, metal-on-metal drums) pulsate around Harvey's agressively unpretty voice as she sings about religion or sex or both.
The reason I bought it is that the Hindu Love Gods are Bill Berry, Pete Buck, and Mike Mills from R.E.M., with Warren Zevon as the lead singer and second guitarist.
Hitchcock’s talent for hilariously surreal lyrics is still intact ("She was sinister but she was happy/ Like a chandelier festooned with leeches"), but he continues to mature in the area of songwriting, which makes the busy arrangements of "Devil’s Radio" and "Beautiful Queen" as interesting as they are singable.

The album's best-known song, "Werewolves of London," catapulted Zevon into a fleeting period of stardom and a longer struggle with alcohol and drugs.

 R.E.M.: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
The reputation of this album as a downer is further dispelled by the energetic and eccentric power-pop of ‘Life And How To Live It’ and ‘Can’t Get There From Here’, while the stuttering rocker ‘Kohoutek’ is another overlooked gem.
In many ways, Monster, the resulting album, is the most atypical of R.E.M.’s records, trading in the sincerity and restrained arrangements of the rest of their oeuvre for a sound that’s equal measures of seventies glam and nineties grunge.
While the change may have helped the group redefine their sound, this album still has the sense that song writing doesn’t come as naturally to the band as it used to, and that they had to spend a lot more time agonising over these songs than they did previously.

Green Day's second full album was the perfect dry run for the band's later assault on the mainstream, containing both more variety and more flat-out smashes than previous releases had shown.
With Tre Cool now firmly in place as the drummer, the lineup was at last settled, and it turned out Cool and Dirnt were a perfect rhythm section, with the former showing a bit more flash and ability than John did.

 Red-headed, but no stranger by Seth Rogovoy
He is a prolific recording artist and songwriter with over 100 albums to his credit, yet he can't seem find a home with one record company.
All of this, of course, is beside the point, as his new album, self- produced at his home studio in Austin, Texas, makes clear.
Recorded sparely with just acoustic fiddle, guitar and piano backup, the album harkens back to the simplicity of "Red Headed Stranger." It is an intimate work full of country-laced, folk-, pop- and gospel-flavored originals, with Nelson's signature guitar licks and his haunting, conversational baritone mixed way out front where it belongs.

This raw sound goes through quite a lot of tracks on the album, and is really good, though I find the drums a bit over bearing at times.
Finally the album rounds off with a fun blues story acoustic track, which is similar to Hotel Yorba (which is on the previous album unfortunately, so I'll still have to get that).

One by some Hopkins guy (no not that one) and another by the remarkable, lightning in a bottle, rock supergroup moment that was the Hindu Love Gods.
The story goes that the Hindu Love Gods’ self-titled LP was recorded in one drunken session after a BBQ.
The album, in the words of Zevon, “took as long to record as it does to listen to.” The results are a sloppy and drunken tribute to the power of spontaneity; full of and with a blazing version of Prince’s Raspberry Beret thrown in for good measure (check out the crack of that snare drum).

Peter, Mike Mills, Bill Berry and Warren Zevon recorded an album under the band name Hindu Love Gods, while the R.E.M. bandmates and Zevon were recording tracks for Zevon's 1987 album "Sentimental Hygiene."

Following a 1974 sabbatical to Spain, Zevon returned to Los Angeles, where his longtime friend Jackson Browne had secured him a recording deal; with Browne in the producer's seat, Zevon cut a self-titled offering which was met with lavish critical praise upon its 1976 release.
The album fared miserably on the charts, however, and Zevon again fell off the wagon.
In 1993, Zevon issued his second live album, Learning to Flinch, followed in 1995 by Mutineer.

This incarnation of the cult band Hindu Love Gods saw three-fourths of REM--- guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and then-drummer Bill Berry---team up with late vocalist-pianist Warren Zevon for a wild studio romp consisting of various blue covers and their takes on some pop tunes.
For such off the cuff material, it sure sounds like the four Love Gods were having a ball.
Most of the members of REM got together to express their love for great American roots music by cutting a blues album under the name Hindu Love Gods, and the result rocks!

When I mention to Michael that the new album sounds like it could be one of the band's most intimate offerings, his face screws up.
"If there's anything to be said for the Hindu Love Gods, or for Bill Berry too," Warren Zevon says, "it's that it was always kind of disappointing for me to hear those folk blues songs played by bands because they never swung the same at all.

Hindu Love Gods, a side project by R.E.M. (without Michael Stipe) and Warren Zevon.
Opinions about the project vary greatly: some saw it as a mediocre knock-off of some blues standards that should not have been released, others as a fun romp for the instrumental 3/4 of R.E.M. Note that the album is out of print, as of 2001.

Not exactly a WZ album, the love gods were basically REM (Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills), with Warren fronting and playing guitar instead of Michael Stipe.
Warren wasn't too pleased it was released, and it kind of strained his friendship with the REM guys, but any blame for the release of this album rests squarely on his then management, trying to cash in on the 'cachet' of R.E.M. Transverse City

Ihre Produktionstätigkeit für die Hindu Love Gods hat sich bei diesem Album allerdings gottseidank ohrenscheinlich darin erschöpft, die Mikrophone in die richtige Position zu bringen, die Bandmaschine anzuwerfen und während der Sessions für gute Laune und Getränke zu sorgen, denn hier ist nichts geglättet und poliert, sondern es regiert die pure Lust am Spielen.
