All About The Shoe Gazing
Not sure why, but tonight is apparently National Shoe Gaze Day. The following bands may be the best bands ever:
Lush - Of course, I would not kick Miki Berenyi out of bed, regardless of the number of crackers she might eat, but it's actually Emma that I fall asleep thinking of:
For Love
Lady Killers - Turns out that Anthony from the RHCPs is a dick - No one could have predicted this
Hypocrite
Single Girl
Shake Baby Shake
Sweetness and Light
My Bloody Valentine (probably the greatest band ever - only by the album Loveless though - the rest are crap ):
Only Shallow
Soon
And, of course, The Pulp. JARVIS!!!!:
Common People
Disco 2000
Something Changed
And not really shoe gaze, but I love "the Divine Comedy" too much to abandon them:
The National Express
Becoming More like Alfie
Gin Soaked Boy
I've Been To A Marvelous Party

This is why...
I should not be allowed access to the Internets:
Duffy - the real one, not that chick
The Rainy Season. I think that "and you're like a mirage I could learn to hate" is maybe the best line ever.
Bongos, numbers & etc.
Except that this song is completely, totally, and with out dispute the finest piece of music evers - fuck all you "How Soon is Now" losers.And now...
Let's see...an ass load of Propaganda the best band you don't already worship. Duel, "P-Machinery", Dr. Mabuse (Yes, I have seen all the movies), God, I love Claudia Brücken. Really, It's sad.
I seem to remember briefly being friends with these guys.
And, of course, the greatest band ever. Really...they got a lot better. Mom, Dad, this is what I was going for. Honest...I liked girls.

Panic-nicking
My initial exposure to Panic! At The Disco was as the headline band at a show that the Dresden Dolls opened, so I really had no idea how popular they were with the kids today. Shortly thereafter Ashley made me watch the video for "It's Better If You Do", which made me fall in love with them and get the album. I liked that their lyrics were so in your face and declarative. "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" was one of those rare albums with more than five songs that are all unforgettable and I had very, very high hopes. Imagine so cynical, so promising and even more amazing, so young. I think they are all, what, twelve?
Alas, having listened to their second record "Pretty. Odd." a few times I can only weep like a girl whose creepy, creepy doll has been snatched from her hands. This is honestly the most boring record I have ever heard. None of the urgency that made the first record interesting (making me ignore any technical faults). It almost seems like they decided to go back and do really bad pastiches of their influences and over produce them to the point that you really, really want to punch them in the junk. Right in the freaking junk.So, yeah, when you were young your parents made you listen to the Beatles and Chicago. Great...me too, but that didn't make me put out a crappy second album, and it had NOTHING to do with your freaking awesome first album. Now I must cry until the guyliner runs down my face.

Simplicity May Suck.
I don't know if I want to live in a world where Panic! at the Disco song titles clock in at less than twenty words.
Not to mention that they don't seem very mean any more, which was the attraction to begin with.
(Note that this post contains no personal information at all, other than intimating that, maybe, I like bitchy people...which is actually pretty revealing. Also, obvious. I am still trying to figure out what a bone half-gallon is.).

Top Albums
My friend Justin recently posted a list of his favorite albums on his blog and challenged his readers to list their own. Stuff like this is always interesting to me, because it's very hard for me to prioritize things, especially in an "all time favorites" as opposed to "what I like at the moment" way.
That said, my list is below, divided into a top three and a rest of the top ten (because that's what Justin did). Within each set they aren't prioritized at all. I could not tell you which is my favorite album of the top three, for example. If you have never heard of one of these albums, click the links which will take you to Amazon where you can listen to samples.
The criteria I am using to pick albums is this:
No "Best of" collections, that's a cop out.
Having a great song is not the same as being a great album.
All of the albums are ones that I can and do listen to over and over without getting tired of them.
Top Three...
Tin Drum - Japan
Colma - Buckethead
Cake - Trash Can Sinatras
Top Four - Ten
Casanova - The Divine Comedy
Goodbye - Dubstar
Grace - Jeff Buckley
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Strange Free World - Kitchens of Distinction
The Love That Whirls- Bill Nelson
I have also decided that because we live in a world where I can have over a thousand albums on my iPod that ten albums is not enough. So here is another 10 that are just as essential as the first (though I am allowing some collections in this section, because I am lazy)
Gone to Earth - David Sylvian
Small Change - Tom Waits
In A Coma - Matthew Good
If You're Feeling Sinister - Belle and Sebastian
The Golden Age of Wireless - Thomas Dolby
The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls
Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret - Soft Cell
The Smiths - The Smiths
Flesh + Blood - Roxy Music
Swoon - Prefab Sprout
Smiles Like A Shark - Mulu
As I mentioned in a comment over on Justin's page, yes, I am aware that my choices reveal me as the biggest girl in all of girlsylvania, and that I undoubtly spend all my spare time playing with dolls. What can I say - I like my music to be, well, musical. While I can really enjoy noisy loud music, it's never going to be my all time favorite. Except for Trompe le Monde by the Pixies, which should totally be on the list somewhere...maybe a top thirty...
What is your top three, ten, or whatever?

It Looks Like iTunes Already Lost the Race
I thought that I would have to wait until Amazon's digital music store opened before I could get away from the incredibly irritating iTunes interface, file formats and pricing, but it looks like I can jettison it right away.
7digital has just started selling the EMI catalog at $1.00 per track (about 75% the price of the iTunes tracks), 320 kps (really doesn't matter, you can't detect the quality difference from Apples 240 kps tracks) and in straight MP3, which totally beats Apple's AAC format, since these will play on ANYTHING (even my GPS navigator!).
Also, since the store is just a website, it isn't restricted to only Windows and Mac OS, like iTunes.
Unfortunately it looks like their non-EMI music is available in a mish-mash of DRMed WMP9, AAC and MP3, so it's still difficult to search only for music that is DRM free. Maybe as I spend more time with it I will find a way to make this easier.
I haven't looked into it yet, but I am hoping there is some way to buy lower quality versions of tracks, since I really don't care about anything over 128 kps and hate having to downsample everything when moving it over to a portable player. Unfortuneatly, it looks liek the lowest they off is 192 kps, which is still not too bad, I could live with that on a portable player.
Anyway, it looks like it took less than a month for iTunes to become completely useless to me again.

Wow, iTunes Plus Really Sucks
So I finally found something on iTunes plus that I wanted to buy - Sigue Sigue Sputnik's "Dress for Excess". I didn't find this using any of the tools in iTunes - I went to Wikipedia and found a list of all EMI artists and then started entering the ones I was interested into the iTunes Store's search box. Great work Apple guys, you have made it very easy for me to use your store the way I want to.
After I clicked the "Buy Album" button, which allowed me to purchase the entire album at 256Kps, non-DRMed for $9.99, which I think is a pretty reasonable price, it proceeded to attempt to download the songs. Each one of them said it was going to take around 40 minutes, which is obviously ridiculous. I went to bed, only to find that at some point last night one of the downloads failed, iTunes put up an error dialog box and stopped downloading the other songs! Well, that's just terrible design.
8 hours later I have none of the songs I purchased last night available, and the other tracks have all timed out since then again. Maybe they will be here by the time I get home tonight, but honestly, by then I could have gone to the store, bought the CD used for $4.00 and ripped it, all perfectly legally.
I know that the reason for the download problems is that they are experiencing bandwidth issues, but come on, Apple is a multi billion dollar company with more than enough resources to ensure that amateur hour stuff like that doesn't happen.
So far, they get an "F" on the experience.

ITunes Now WIthout DRM
On a limited selection of songs.
Today they finally flipped the switch and put up the option to download non-DRMed versions of songs from EMI. Because of this I feel like I should show some support and go buy a few albums. This is the first time I have ever used the ITunes music store and I have to say; boy does the interface completely suck, at least if you are only interested in non-DRMed music.
While they have a pretty efficient browser interface that I would really like to use, it appears that there is no way to filter it to only show non-DRMed music. The only way that you can view only non-DRMed music is by selecting the "ITunes Plus" link, and then browsing through graphics heavy pages, with entires that can be sorted by release date, album name, or "featuredness" (whatever the hell that is) but not by artist, the only thing I am actually interested in sorting by.
Irritating.
However, I will still put in the time it takes to buy a couple of albums to reward EMI for making this extremely reasonable concession to what their customers want and deserve...
Updated - Oh crap. You can't even get all of the non-DRMed stuff in one set of browsable pages - you have to request it by genre first. This is just freaking stupid. And it looks like it only gives you five pages in each category, not all of the available music (unless by some weird coincidence there happen to be exactly five pages in each category - because I am sure EMI has just as much Latino Music as it does Rock.

DJ Lebowitz Live in SF!
DJ Lebowitz, probably the world's greatest punk rock piano player and a fixture of the old old (like really old) SF punk scene is going to be doing a live piano and vocal performance at the Riptide on Taraval (actually, just around the corner from my old house - I had no idea there was a bar there...).
It's going be in the style of the shows he used to do at the Sound of Music back in the early 80s which I was lucky enough to see once.
This guy is spectacular and deserves all the support he can get. If you have a chance, drop by and check it out. I'm so jealous...if I had the cash I would fly out there just to see this show.

Wow. Steve Jobs Talks Sense
Steve Jobs put up an essay on the Apple website today that is just amazing. It explains succinctly, yet completely, why DRM doesn't make any sense and should be abolished. The only thing that he left out is that only paying customers are limited by DRM, since pirates avoid it completely.
I hope that this gets some traction. In fact, one thing that he does not address int eh essay is why all songs on the ITunes Music store have DRM instead of just the major label music. There have to be some daring Indies in that 30% of non-major label music that he mentions that would be happy to have their ITunes product not DRMed. If that were the case, I would start buying it right away, since the only reason I don't use ITunes is the DRM.
Also, am I reading too much between the lines of this essay ("Since Apple does not own or control any music itself, it must license the rights to distribute music from others") and the recent settlement with Apple Corps when I think that there is a good chance that in the future Apple will have a music label? It makes sense - they own the most popular e-music store (now that allofMP3 is closed down), but they don't really make any money on the downloads. Now that the issues with Apple Corps are out of the way Steve is free to fully integrate all the way up the chain from player to publisher.

Interesting
Today I found out that Matthew Good, the Canadian "rock guy with a conscience and good politics" that I have mentioned before has been going through a divorce since around, oh, October. How wierd is that? I started listening to some of his stuff about two years ago, but the song Giant was pretty much my personal soundtrack for the whole breakup divorce thing; "we carry on like it's easy, like you're all out and I'm your man, baby, I'm your man". The "A Better, Happier You" section of this site takes its name from it.
His big best of collection showed up in the mail the day after I moved out of the house.
For some reason, this all just really bums me out.

Well, in another month the Dresden Dolls are going to be in Denver again. Because I don't want to wait until after the next show before I post anything from the last show, here is a short video and the only good picture from the last show. The video shows the whole awesome Shadow Amanda thing I was talking about in the post just after the show (but I can't be bothered to properly edit it), while the picture just shows that she is the hottest girl ever.

Devo 2.0 2.0
After a second (and almost certainly last) listen through the CD it seems that "Uncontrollable Urge" is now about junk food, and "Jerkin' Back and Forth" is about dancing. So, Devo - Devo - has in fact been completely co-opted by The Man.
Pinks, form a line on the right to buy copies for your kids. Superior mutants, form a line to the left for processing into the Re-Neducation camps.
I am too afraid to consider watching the DVD that comes with the CD.
My kids will be getting actual Devo CD's, which The Man will have to pull from their cold, six-web-fingered hands.

Beautiful Mutants?
So, a couple of months ago I was very excited to hear that Mark Mothersbaugh was working on a project called DEVO 2.0 for Disney (Buena Vista Music, whatever). The BRILLIANT idea was to have a manufactured band of tweens who did Devo covers and then sell it to kids. Basically, co-opt co-opting.
I got the album today, and I have to say that I am very disappointed. The whole thing comes off as a school project that the kids turn in, but you can tell the work was really done by their parents. The music is actually better than Devo's, due to the march of technology and more money for production, but I would be amazed if it's the kids actually playing it. The vocals range from slightly better than Devo (The Boy/Girl You Want) to terrible (everything else).
Most of the lyrics have not been changed, and this is certainly more subversive than most things in the children's music section. However, anything they might have tried to say is betrayed by the cover of "Beautiful World". When the little girl is singing "It's a beautiful world - for you" and follows it up with "and I guess for me too", my soul shrunk, the possibilites of the world shrunk, and I threw up a little in my mouth. The whole point of the song is that it's NOT a beautiful world, remember Mark?
Selling poppy subversive songs to kids is on thing (that I approve of). Selling them out is another thing entirely.
Interesting that the sexuality related stuff (girl/boy you want, uncontrollable urge, and Jerkin' back and forth) is there pretty much intact, but the anti-conformist/anti-consumerism message? G-O-N-E.

Further Proof
So, when Ashley got home tonight I ranted at her about all of the cool bands today being imitations of bands I was listening to 15-25 years ago. Her response? "Oh my god, have I made you listen to "The Bravery" yet?!".
It turns out that The Bravery is a band with makeup/hair/clothes just like Flock of Seagulls and a sound that combines old (when they were good) U2 and Flock of Seagulls.
Gah...I was/am so far ahead of my time. Too bad I'll be dead by the time my time does finally come. (Unless Connor Oberst is right (yes..a totally "With it" reference)).
Posted by edgore at 9:53 PM | Comments (4) | TrackBack
God, I'm so "With it"
Why is it that all the bands the kids are listening to today, like Interpol and The Libertines, sound just like bands that I used to listen to 15 years ago? I mean really, Kitchens of Distinction were doing everything that Interpol does better back in 1990. While Interpol is certainly listenable, they don't have a single song as good at Kitchens of Distinction's "1000th Fault", and that's not even a terrific Kitchens of Distinction song.
At least this move towards commercialized versions of bands that I like means that there is the possibility that music is moving in a direction that's more interesting than what's been going on overall for the last 10 years. It's even possible that some of these new bands might grow up into something original and worth the praise that they are getting. I have to admit that even with the car wreck-like Pete Doherty at the helm the new Babyshambles album is a more interesting than most of the stuff from The Libertines. Though, what an unattractive group of people - like a spotty page out of the "Big Book of British Teeth".

The Break Up Song
First off, I am not a fan of Greg Kihn's music. The Break Up Song, Jeopardy, etc. are basic "We are a band that plays in bars and got lucky" music. They are worse than lots of bands, and infinitely better than the to-be-chewed-eternally-in-the-jaws-of-satan nightmare that is Huey Lewis and the News (bonus points if you get the reference and can tell me who they displace). I do however LOVE Greg Kihn's horror fiction, which has great characterization and manages to capture in prose the whole "cheap horror movie" vibe. Pick up "Horror Show" if you can find a used copy, or even better "Mojo Hand".
This post, however, has absolutely nothing to do with Greg Kihn. No, I just wanted to mention that "Truce" by Dresden Dolls is probably my favorite breakup song. It perfectly captures how I have felt about every breakup I have ever had (that I didn't initiate) - "Can't we just be honest about what happened before and how we felt then. This doesn't mean there is anything there now. Just that there once was. Now, can we please get on with breaking up? As long as you are acting like an idiot, and rewriting history to remove the good times, I am not really sure you are done yet, and well, I am. Can we end this and move on now? Also, you are the devil." It's like gangrene - I would really like to cut off the leg, because if it's not done soon I am going to die from sepsis.
The best song to represent the breakups that I did initiate is probably, I dunno, Tom Waits' "Pasties and a G-String".

Musical Freedom
Recently I have been enjoying my musical freedom - the ability to listen to whatever I want to, whenever I want to, and not have anybody complain about it. No hearing about how my music is crap, or protests that the music must be changed immediately or anything like that. Of course in the past I have been just of guilty of doing that, except that when I declare something to be crap or unlistenable, it's always true (I kid...but not really).
Anyway, this has allowed to me listen to lots of extremely precious "twee" music. For example, The Ditty Bops, who remind me a little of a twang-ier, occasionally bluegrassy "Belle & Sebastian. "Wishful Thinking" is the kind of song I can put on repeat for an hour and not get tired of. Makes you think of summer, lemonade, and swimming holes.

As of today I have a new favorite band, and after you listen to/watch their videos so will you! Dresden Dolls are sort of a punk-rock cabaret mixed with a little of the White Stripes (the less-annoying parts of the White Stripes).
Favorite video: Coin-Operated Boy
Second Favorite Video: Girl Anachronism
The links are Quicktime, and point to the lo-res versions. They have high-res videos on their site that a huge, but more gorgeous.

Goofing Off
Since I am now an exceptional employee, I feel obligated to use any break time that I have to goof off, offsetting my work success for me personally, without actually interfering with it. So, without further ado, a brief review of a CD/DVD set I bought recently (if you choose to buy it, buy it from Amazon.ca, it's about half the price that Amazon.com has it for, and it's actually available now, alas, I get no money when you do that).
Anyway, the CD/DVD set I want to talk about is "In A Coma - 1995-2005" by Matthew Good/The Matthew Good Band (they broke up and he when solo about 4 years ago). Most people outside of Canada, and watchers of MuchMusic have no idea who Matthew Good is. Apparently he's very big with our soon to be annexed friends to the north. It's not too surprising that he never caught on down here though. As this collection shows, the musical style is pretty typical, almost formulaic hard rock, with the occasional ballad tossed in. I never would have heard of him either if one day I had not been doing search on Kazaa for "New Wave" and come across "I Miss New Wave", possibly the most despairing song that I have ever heard, and I am an aficionado of depressing music. The song just dripped with loss, longing, and the sense of a wasted life. I liked it, needless to say, a lot. I then ran across the video for "Anti-Pop" a great rock song with a neat video that, upon further listening is also pretty depressing.
Since then I have sought out more and more of his stuff, buying the CD "Beautiful Midnight" because I feel an obligation to actually pay money ad support artists that I like.
When I heard that "In A Coma" was coming out I started looking forward to it, since it's a best of, not a greatest hits and has many, many songs that I had downloaded on it, so I could salve my sense or rightness in a single purchase.
Overall, it's a great set. The first CD contains the "best of" stuff, with highlights "Giant", "Generation X-Wing", the aforementioned "Anti-Pop" that I already new, and some songs I have never heard before like "In A World Called Catastrophe" and "Oh Be Joyful". Overall it's a 90% good songs CD. Understand that this is despite the fact the I am not a big traditional rock fan - the lyrics really make it up for me - his whole rock for losers vibe compels me to keep replaying it.
The second CD (only in the deluxe version) contains rarities and acoustic remakes of old songs. A couple of the rarities are things I have heard, and overall their great. "Fated" is a song that always gets to me. The acoustic versions are okay, but they lose a lot of the anger that drives the originals, ad seem a little muddy in tone overall. "Apparitions is good though.
The DVD (also deluxe only) is uneven. The early videos are, as you would expect from a Canadian indie band, poorly produced from a technical standpoint, with transfer glitches. Some of them just don't work, like the video for "Rico" which for me doesn't match up to the song. Some of them are great though, "Anti-Pop, which I mention above, "Apparitions", and "Alert Status Red", a video that includes footage from the columbine shooting security cameras in a really powerful and effective way.
I actually don't know anyone else, personally, that would like this set. Most of it is so dark, so lonely, and yet so affecting to me personally that I have a hard time recommending it to others, because, well, obviously you wouldn't get it. For that reason, and that reason alone I think I can recommend it to just about anyone - very few artists have an impact on me like Matthew Good has. It's not that I like the music, or even the lyrics, it's that he has a message and a tone that makes me feel something. If it can do that for me, then maybe it will do it to you too.

Confirmation
So...I have, as some people have noticed, a section of my website devoted to a radio station I worked for way back in the eighties, KQAK. As part of that site, I try to keep track of where some of the people from the stations and the bands that we played are today. I discovered recently (last night) that Joe Pop-o-Pie, of the band the Pop-o-Pies was still around and, in fact, was selling a CD of his later work on CD-Baby. I ordered it, of course.
Today I got the confirmation of my orders shipping, possibly the best confirmation message I have ever received. I have duplicated it below for the amusement of others.
