Review: Scott Miller at the Starry Plough, 12/4/11

Dec 6, 2011, 6:00pm The Bay Bridged
Game Theory, Erica's Word 1985
Still metabolizing the last bits of barley, hops and potato salad from Saturday's incredible Bay Brewed , I somehow managed to crawl to the Starry Plough the very next afternoon. It was an increasingly rare chance to hear Scott Miller. His band Game Theory helped get me through the 80s, plus they slept in my college living room in '89! Their 1982 debut album, Blaze of Glory (recorded in his bedroom in Sac) and 1985s Real Nighttime remain my favorites, but Big Shot Chronicles from 1986 does contain several brilliant tunes [...]

Game Theory – Big Shot Chronicles (1986)

Nov 18, 2011, 5:21pm Obscure Sound
Game Theory Regenisraen
That Game Theory's entire catalog is seemingly terminally out of print is a great travesty. Certainly they were one of the most important purveyors of '80s pop music in America. Over the course of three incredibly ambitious and almost flawless records, they had as good a track record as almost anyone besides XTC for consistency.

Any vows on lovers' leap

Nov 3, 2011, 12:00am Now you're at Songblague!
Any vows on lovers' leap As surely as yesterday's tracks show a less visited side of the 1980s, here's one from the days when college rock did in fact have something to do with the intellectual ambitions of both bands and audiences. Not that it doesn't rock. And not without a charming earnestness that looks fondly on an imaginary utopia of Anglophilic power pop. A nice shade of California love. Game Theory - Make Any Vow s

B-Sides in the Bins #51 – Chicago 11/19 & 20, 2010

Dec 20, 2010, 2:57pm Time to play b-sides
I was in Chicago the weekend of 11/19 to see DJ Shadow with Pigeon John at Park West. My friend Erik came along. Before the show. We both walked out with some good finds. Here are mine: The Moody Blues - Caught Live + 5 (2 LP, London Records, 2 PS 690/1, 1977)($2.99) Kind of a controversial album in the Moodies catalog in that it was released without the band's permission. The "Live" part was a concert recorded in December, 1969 at The Royal Albert Hall during the To Our [...]

now playing…black thought!

The Roots- U2 Tribute @ NAACP
Every once in a while, you come across an unreleased song that makes you scratch your head because you simply cannot understand why it was never fully finished and released. This demo from 2006 recorded by the voice of the Roots, Black Thought, is one of those tracks. Reportedly produced by the incomparable J Dilla, the song features Black Thought at his best. His flair for storytelling and wordplay is matched by few and we're even treated to a rare sung chorus. Dilla provides his usual beat-making excellence and a sweet wah-wah guitar sample that simply offers a foundation for [...]

Interview: Scott Miller (Game Theory/The Loud Family)

Katharine Hepburn Interviewed by Barbara Walters (tree + more)
Angrylambie The Loud Family - "Cortex the Killler" Is there just a more crushable band in the world than The Loud Family ? If there is, it's probably Game Theory , which is Scott Miller's other, older, band. His newer band, The Loud Family, is sort of an old band now too, though. Miller has said, "I'm utterly serious about music. I just respect the buying public's judgment that it's not what I should do for a living." So instead he is [...]

Busta Rhymes Feat. Ol' Dirty Basterd - Woo Hah!! Remix
This weekend, I was listening to the remix of "Woo Hah! Got You All In Check" featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard and I realized that this song was the most well-matched collaboration of all time in hip-hop. The energy level of Busta circa The Coming and ODB was unmatched, and together they made one of the most [...]

The Purrs Are Back (In Paisley)

Aug 18, 2009, 12:32am the finest kiss
The Purrs Are Back (In Paisley) Last week while I was listening to Kevin Cole on KEXP he played a song from Purrs ' new album followed by the Dream Syndicate 's Tell Me When It's Over which reminded me of a couple things. One, how much I love Kevin Cole's kid in a candy store approach to his daily show (you never know what he might grab off the shelf) and two: how much the Purrs seem to be influenced by the Paisley Underground. About a year ago when I saw them across the street from the Green [...]

New Music: The Roots - 'How I Got Over'

New Music: The Roots - 'How I Got Over' What better way to celebrate the beginning of another weekend than a new single from everyone's favourite hip hop band (not that they've had much competition since Stetsasonic went tits up), The Roots? Okay, I can think of a few, but The Roots will have to do until the midget wrestlers, caged lions and dancing girls arrive. As I mentioned a while back, the pride of Illadelph are putting the finishing touches on a new album (now scheduled for release at the end of October). A month of so back, ?uestlove and the boys [...]

B-Sides in the Bins #46: Cheapo Discs - Fridley, MN 1/31/09

May 31, 2009, 3:35pm Time to play b-sides
The weekend I was in the Twin Cities for the Umphrey's McGee concert at First Avenue, I had the opportunity to hit Cheapo Discs in Fridley, MN. While not as "hip" or "cool" a location as the Uptown locale, they have a surprisingly decent selection of CD's and LP's and would recommend it. I had a gift certificate for Cheapo from my birthday in October that was burning a hole in my pocket. I had started by perusing the CD's there and had amassed a decent pile, but ended up putting it all away after I started flipping [...]

Friday Feedback: The Dream Syndicate

May 15, 2009, 10:34pm Your New Favorite Song
Friday Feedback: The Dream Syndicate History Kind of Pales When It and You Are Aligned The Dream Syndicate was one of those bands that changed it for me . . . I discovered the band about the same time I first heard Game Theory, in the mid 80's. While I loved Game Theory's skewed pop songs, LA's Dream Syndicate I held much closer to the heart. I heard Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda's legendary guitar duels ("Halloween", "Days of Wine and Roses") long before I encountered their New York fore bearers Verlaine [...]

Granted if you are going to cover a tune you either cover a song everyone has heard of or a song that no on has ever heard of in their life. This is a Box Tops cover which I happen to love. I have another cover by The Mops (Japan) but I strangely don't own the version by The Box Tops. Still I own the [...]

I'm always anxious to tear into it -- it's always good and one of the few music magazines these days that takes longer than an afternoon to read -- but I was specifically looking forward to this one to read the second half of editor Jack Rabid's interview with New Pornographers' AC Newman .
