Ok, I am reporting far too many semen abuse incidents...
I will attempt to cease and desist, at least until the next busted nut-related crime is reported by a major news source.
Good Music to listen to (or, what I am listening to this week)
1. LCD Soundsystem -Self-Titled Brooklyn hipster doofus puts out a great record. It is dancey at times but mostly rocks. This record seems to unfold and reveal more of itself with each listen. I love it.
2. New Order- Waiting for The siren's Call I read an interview before in some major music rag where Bernard Sumner explained their more rockier sound as a result of being older and not hanging out all night in clubs anymore. I related to this and liked the record at first listen. I recommend it.
3. Luna -Rendezvous While I have always just kind of liked this band, they never inspired me to run out and buy tickets to one of their NY shows, which were many back in the latter half of the 90's. This record contains one song in particular titled Broken Chair that is simply one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard. Pedal steel, perfect melodic, detached coolness. They just played their final NY show. I missed it.
4. Low -The Great Destroyer This band has released a bazillion albums over the past decade and I never really investigated them until a few weeks ago - on a whim I obtained this record and gave it a listen. The whole record is high-quality but there is one track, Silver Rider that is still resonating in my pixel and decibel-addled skull. I rarely describe music as majestic but this one fits the bill.
5. Robert Pollard -Relaxation of the Asshole This is a vinyl-only limited release of the prolific Guided By Voices singer's between-song banter which in the absence of actual songs, feels like an off-kilter stand-up comedy record.
In one spoken piece onstage in Chicago, he reminisces about the previous rock royalty that have stood upon the same stage; Joe Cocker, Meatloaf, Roger Daltrey, and surmises that his next band will be titled Cocker Meatloaf Daltrey. You probably do not find this funny, but then again, I am vastly different than you.
Stuff To Steer Clear Of
1. The new U2 record. Vertigo? Who knows, I may change my tune, like I did with the last record, but it just feels like too much of the same. It has not moved me... yet.
2. Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It is Morning Ok... It is not that bad. The press is fellating this fey little punk as the "New Dylan". How original. didn't they do that with Springsteen and a host of others? Here is a revelation, I do not like Dylan! Never did! The record is very folky in a Dylan-esque sort of way. If you are into that sort of thing then eat my ass.
3. The Killers - I know a lot of you out there like that stupid "somebody told me that you had a boyfriend that looks like a girlfriend" song. I am here to tell you that you are an idiot. Stop it.
Now.
I know, the negativity is sparse... I rarely give a lot of time and energy to things that I do immediately gratify me so they are quickly forgotten.
