Like Morrissey, i'm Still Ill. Damn this interminable flu! Fortunately my spirits were lifted yesterday when the postman brought new CDs from two Friends of Headphonesex - 'Adventures Close to Home' and 'South Central'. Adventures Close to Home are celebrating the launch of their record label with a single by New York's Holy Hail, an excellent slice of no wave Tom Tom Club-style NY Funk.
HOLY HAIL - COUNTY FAIR (PART TWO) ?I'll still bleed with the fading winds? Sounding a bit like Scissor Sisters' piano-riffed Laura sped-up to a frantic pace, New York's Holy Hail create a kaliedoscopic pop sound mixing elements of rock, dance, country and hip-hop. County Fair (Part Two) is an extremely strange pop song, with boy/girl vocals (barely) fitting together to deliver the hip-pop [...]
I have about 50% fewer books than I did at this time on Friday. (And 100% fewer falling-apart polyester A-line vintage dresses...) I think the guys at Half Price Books hated me for lugging in about 200 lbs of books and magazines*, and yes, it probably wasn't the best idea to spend a small bit of my take on a half-price copy of the Larrouse Gastronomique , but you hardly ever NEVER see a copy of this 20+ lb book there. Plus, it's been moldering on my Amazon wishlist for years, it [...]
New York, NY Holy Hail is suggested for anyone who likes bands like Love Is All . They'll be playing around NYC on October 31, November 1, and November 4 as part of CMJ . "Dig My Grave With The Songs I've Sung" Holy Hail on MySpace
Holy Hail "Dig My Grave With The Songs I've Sung" - There's a tension in this song, this audible push and pull between what this great tune would be in the hands of other artists, and how it is performed by the people who wrote it. Holy Hail's tiny voices and relatively anemic playing renders in miniature a song that seems built for hugeness and passion, and it's hard to tell whether this is simply the band performing to the fullest of their potential, or the result of timid bet-hedging. I believe that they err on the side of [...]
Thanks to Travis from Big Stereo and Cindy Hotpoint for making me aware of this band: Holy Hail A few quick things about Holy Hail : They make " gospel-hop-electro-country ", a genre which I didn't even know I needed. But apparently I did. Frontwoman Cat Hartwell is (was?) also in Fannypack , and you know you love Fannypack [...]
Remember last time I said I had a favourite band? They were from Toronto and went by the name of Crystal Castles, their Nintendo no wave blitzkrieg is blasting sharp window bytes off those stupid...
