ZIG ZAG WANDERER: LUCKY DRAGONS, UV LIGHTS AND THE FINAL ROLL CALL PARTY

I caught up with some L.A. RECORD peeps at the Echo's No Culture show last week, but not before catching up with Lucky Dragons, owners of one of my few whole-souled enthusiasms on the current SoCal scene. The rara avis duo of Luke Fischbeck and Sara Rara don't so much give performances of their Minkowski Space postrock as collaborate with the audience and they did so tonight, passing out various tone-making apparatus to rapt ones sitting semicircle on the concrete floor. They view the craft of song the same way long-gone late-'70s postpunk experimentalists the Swell Maps did—as [...]

Lo-fi Wavves

This is a sunny, beach pop album...on peyote. Yes, there are some vibrant melodies and pop nuggets to be found on this release, but they are buried beneath so much harsh sounding fuzz. What this really sounds like is a slightly more straight-forward pop version of No Age. Or, even better, slightly experimental indie rock drenched in digital fuzz.

Mazes

Ok, another UK band who deal in Lo-Fi Fuzz. And who are touring with Wavves and Pens . They proudly proclaim their love for Tascam 4-track recording, have a perfectly-curated list of influences (" The Fugs, Guided By Voices, Swell Maps, The Modern Lovers, The Clean, Flying Nun, The Fall, Beat Happening, Television Personalities, Pavement, Terminal Boredom, Nuggets, Siltbreeze "), and they wrote this song, which I really enjoy: ::: Mazes - "Bowie Knife" :::

They quietly horde all of the oxygen that?s fit to breathe!

- - - - It's said that yawns are contagious, like laughs, or syphilis. When there's a small group of people in a room and one person is inspired to yawn, be it by tire or light-headedness, it's almost a sure thing that another person in the vicinity will yawn, and possibly another, until there is [...]

We are to whom we listen

We are to whom we listen This was the phrase that struck whilst reading an editorial by Lenny Kaye. Is it often edifying to know what someone else listens to. I certainly make assumptions about people based on their listening habits. But is Lenny right? And if so do we come to define ourselves through music. I am always perplexed by those stories from people who say 'that song got me through my teens/divorce/hard time' etc. How can a song do that? Unless we take a message from it and act upon that message or receive comfort/guidance. And are there really songs that do [...]

Friday Night Fights: Simplicity at Its Finest

Friday Night Fights: Simplicity at Its Finest Nothing complicated or clever for this week's contribution to Bahlactus's Battle That Rocks the Cosmic Block -- just a fist, a face, and a constellation of hurt: (from Captain Marvel Adventures #115, December 1950; by Otto Binder and Pete Costanza) It's simple yet elegant, which means I don't have to explain the anti-television pogroms , phallic skullcaps shielded against Luddite radiation , and hot pants-wearing conquistadores which lead up to the featured punch-in-the-face action.
