Zola Jesus



This is an unofficial video set to the title track off of that same EP. I don’t wanna be a robo-lez about this, but it’s kind of boring. Grainy shots of graveyards and carousels are to this music what stock photos of white people with perfect teeth are to store bought picture frames. Where are the green lasers? Where are the dead-eyed models in catsuits? This song still knocks though, a good jam to sit with in your room alone, pretending you’re in a club full of high fashion robo-lesbians from the 80’s.

I Feel Nice... Like Thai Spice

My coworkers and I ordered pad thai today and when it arrived I couldn't help but sing and dance to this song. Not as good as the master of course!

My coworkers said I was "extra". Yeah - extra awesome.

Mono EEEE Mono!


Mono is coming to town next month! I saw them at the now defunct Mary Jane's somewhere between 02 and 03 and they blew me and my compatriots away.

The buzz in the blogospheres is that their latest album Hymn to the Immortal Wind is gorgeous. Can't wait to get my paws on it.

Quote Of The Day

INSTAREBLOG: The Noops have totally rewon my affections with Together. I’d given up back around Twin Cinema …

As I told someone the other day, when people ask me what I’m into these days, I say “Everyones old new record” — The New Pornographers, LCD Soundsystem, Goldfrapp, Spoon, The National, Ted Leo & Rx. A lot of bands I’ve championed for nearly a decade (!!!) are really hitting it out of the park after some missteps over the past few years. Why the fuck would I want to listen to some crap a kid made on their computer that I could also easily make on ON MY COMPUTER WHILE STONED ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON? Give me some quality, geez.

To Dream of Pickles

And the dreamy mood continues. Think I've been watching too many medical and legal shows; all of my dreams lately feature skin grafting and alibis.

1, 2, 3

I can't decide if I like these guys or not; their other track "Can't Bribe God" left me a little unfazed but by the third listen of this one I have to admit I was a little swayed by the limped 70's swagger. Plus the intro gave me a little chuckle.

The Secret Public






This Month
Steven Kasher Gallery, NYC

"Obviously it’s kind of funny and part of me just thinks ‘come on don’t be anonymous’. It’s quite easy when you’re anonymous, it’s a lot harder to actually do things in public and front it out. This is a problem I have with the internet in general, a lot of the comments are made anonymously and I just think you can sneer at a lot of people doing stuff but they’re putting their name to it and they’re going out in public with it." -John Savage

Well said John.

You Came In With Flying Colors

Last night I hosted an accidental spontaneous party and Love of Diagrams came up on my computer from a mix a friend made me some time ago [thank you!]. It was a pretty big hit and made us stay up that much later.



They remind me a lot of Blondie. By the way, Debbie Harry singing in Spanish? Delicioso!

Diss

Like her or not Joanna Newsom certainly has an opinion and isn't afraid to express it. This pretty much made my morning.


My problem isn’t actually with Lady Gaga. But there’s not much in her music to distinguish it from other glossy, formulaic pop. She just happens to wear slightly weirder outfits than Britney Spears. But they’re not that weird – they’re mostly just skimpy. She’s fully marketing her body/sexuality; she’s just doing it while wearing, like, a ‘fierce’ telephone hair-hat. Her sexuality has no scuzziness, no frank raunchiness, in the way that, say, Peaches, or even Grace Jones, have – she’s Arty Spice! And, meanwhile, she seems to take herself so oddly seriously, the way she talks about her music in the third person, like she’s Brecht or something. She just makes me miss Cyndi Lauper.

On Madonna:

I think maybe she doesn’t hold her money very gracefully, the way some people can’t hold their drink.

This is so sad. I've postponed blogging about it in the hopes it was all a cruel joke but no, White Rose Movement has officially called it a day; not because of problems between bandmates like egos or drugs but because of stupid fucking record release funding and bureaucracy.

The artist always gets lost in the politics. So pissed. It's a shame they weren't able to release their completed sophomore album before giving up the ghost. I still remember listening to Kick for the first time. LOVE. Finn Vine had the best boots, Owen Dyke the best hair and Taxxi was just adorable- music crushes for ever.
