good music update
New music sucks. It all is bad music. No good music anymore. Music sucks.
“Varshons” is just about as excited as I can get about a new record in 2009.
Everything else is disappointing me. Year-defining and slow and low, that is the tempo.
But have been also listening to:

TEN AWESOME MOVIES I WATCHED FAIRLY RECENTLY
3 Women One of the most lazily amusing rides by superstoner Robert Altman. Shelley Duvall curtsies to the clouds as the beanpole weirdo everyone in her apartment complex loves to hate, and Sissy Spacek blushes her love for her. A truly unique work, and with an ending that would make David Lynch squirm in his jockeys. Also, the only (somewhat) serious movie with a gorgeous close-up of a cheese...

Do You Wonder What Went Right?
I have never written about Andrew WK ever. So why start now?
I’ll tell you why.
2006’s “Close Calls With Brick Walls” is, without a doubt, at least in the upper echelon of amazing, instant classic pop records of the 21st century. Andrew WK is what you you get when you make a sandwich out of just a hint of the Lords of the New Church, and full and equal doses of Rancid...

Roky Erickson: “Don’t Slander Me” (Pink Dust)
I’ve tried everything — raccoon tongue, lizard kneecap, vampire lung — but I can’t get this album out of my brain. Even with a new resurgence of this guy’s popularity, the actually fairly amazing documentary about him that came out a couple years ago, and more and more bands than ever claiming him as...

Black Friday Prophecy Comes Clear And True
In memoriam of the poor sap that died yesterday at the heavy feet of American consuperism, I have to repost a blog written by John exactly five years ago (wow) about our experience slumming it at the Buckland Hills Wal-Mart for the big Black Friday bullshit. Except now, when the country needs to sustain a certain level of calm and decency in the wake of more terror attacks and an economy...

R.E.M.: “Chronic Town” (IRS)
It’s pretty cool for a first try. A lot of the songs don’t make sense. Why does it sound like a foggy midnight? What is this beautiful music I’m listening to? How many hearts are this rhythm section made to palpitate? Wouldn’t it be cool if this was on the radio? Do you think it could be? Nah, I’m not sure it would...

Twilight On Sean Hannity
In a tiny apartment located just above Nosferatu Steel Wool Concern, a freshly showered Sean Hannity pops a spaghetti-and-meatballs Hot Pocket into the microwave and grits his teeth, waiting desperately for the sun to rise. He will sit there eating various on-the-go meals and gassily wait for hours.
Somewhere in his deep, coupon-bloated pockets, a phone rings. “Probably just Huckabee.....
A Mosquito Sung Out With Its Wings
Woody Guthrie: “Ballads of Sacco and Vanzetti” (Smithsonian Folkways)
It’s oddly satisfying to realize that perhaps the most poignant record to pit against the hate machine of today is one that is older than my parents. It is also a needed reminder that the most system-fucking voice can often be the softest and sweetest. I think if Woody Guthrie was around today, he’d...

Should Have Told You Sometimes
Joel Alme: “A Master Of Ceremonies” (Sincerely Yours)
This year, no other album has this one beat in the beauty department. How to describe this record without seeming ungrateful? Hmm… It’s the sound of “Self Portrait” by Bob Dylan, if it was only that crazy performance of “The Mighty Quinn” with a slightly different feel and different set of...

Del Shannon: “Drop Down and Get Me” (Elektra)
I am such a fanboy of this man that I am the kind of idiot who, if you put this record in a stack of Herb Alpert records on a soiled mattress in your front lawn, I would think it was a sign from Jehovah himself. I am such a fanboy of this man that I am the kind of idiot who, if you put this record in a stack of 101 Strings albums at the...
Is The Music Calling For A River Of Blood?
The Clash: “Sandinista!” (CBS/Epic)
Before this afternoon, it was about eight years running, maybe nine, since I had last endured a thorough, complete listen of “Sandinista!” I purchased the 3xLP set junior year of high school at Trash American Style in Danbury, CT, a great store that no longer exists. I wanted to see if all the crazy things I read on the internet...

Candy-Coated Kisses On A Summertime Day
Alyssa Milano: “Look In My Heart” (Pony Canyon Inc.)
Okay, I know this Amazon.com review is edging a bit close to three years old, but I think its ignorance speaks volumes about the state of the declining American mind. Peep: “This album was released by Alyssa Milano in 1989, in Japan only. This was back when she was still on Who’s the Boss. It sounds like a poor...
We Look White But We Dress All Black
Black Affair: “Pleasure Pressure Point” (V2) I’ve decided that any extra-Beta Band project undertaken by one of its members has to include mushmouth singer Steve Mason in some respect. I don’t really give a crap about Lone Pigeon or The Aliens or whatever that redheaded guy’s project is, and until they start to make more compelling music, I promise I won’t...
