You're nuts if you pass up a chance to see Microphones perform live. After all, they're typically billed as Mount Eerie these days. Essentially, they're the same band and the music they make is, for lack of a better term, eerily similar. For the final performance Department of Safety would ever have, Microphones were the obvious choice of performer to conclude it all. Lo-fi as all hell, perfect for DoS's garage-site venue, and playing what Phil Elverum dubbed as a set [...]
#12 The Microphones - Glow, Pt.2 (2001) I never really thought about the weird juxtaposition of flora and fauna on the cover of this album until tonight. Like okay, it's an African elephant putting out a fire. Yet, going on the looks of things, and songwriter Phil Elvrum's origins, it's chilling in a pine forest in America's Pacific Northwest. Let's discuss the significance of this. Surely wot we have here is a privileged North American songwriter approximating an African animal for his album art? Fucking culturally [...]
This is it, the last call. The last show. And yet it's a first for me; my first time visiting the Department Of Safety in Anacortes. The evening began with a brief drive along dark highways to the town known most, perhaps, for its ferry system connecting mainland Washington with the San Juan Islands. Eight years before, in 2002, the Department Of Safety opened with a show featuring performances from Karl Blau , P:Ano , and, among others, [...]
The Microphones The Glow, Pt. 2 (K, 2001) I received this in the mail along with UNKLE just prior to leaving on a 5 hour drive to vacation in Lake Powell in southern Utah. While I certainly leant some time to Psyence Fiction during the trip, it was The Glow, Pt. 2 which truly enchanted me. I’m sure that I listened to the album twenty to thirty times over the course of that trip and for good reason. The Glow, Pt. 2 [...]
The Microphones Mount Eerie (K, 2003) The first time I listened to Mount Eerie , I didn’t know the ridiculously convoluted concept behind it. Yet, even without this knowledge, I popped the CD into my portable CD player (remember those), put on some oversized headphones and proceeded to hike up a nearby canyon. Alone with nature and this album, it was perhaps the single most poignant experience I’ve had with any album. Regardless of what you think of Phil Elverum’s nature deifying ideologies, you can’t fault the [...]

I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am!! The "fond rememberings" do what the "best of the decade lists" fail to do, in my opinion. They bring something real & authentic to 10 years of music. I can't possibly pretend to know how to begin making a list of 10, 20, 50 albums, let alone rank them, from the thousands and thousands of albums that came out over the past 10 years. The vast majority of which I never even heard! So, instead, we continue on with our end of the [...]
The Microphones: The Glow, Pt. 2 (2001) Phil: I don't remember the first time I heard Phil Elvrum's (now Elverum, see his interview with The Believer ) masterpiece of separation and personal discovery, but I can say I have listened to this album several times in several different contexts and it stands apart as one of the finer releases of the Pacific Northwest's Indie scene. A friend of mine once told me she thought that every Microphones album sounded like the band [...]

Vague Space is planning a little, long-needed break from posting until next week. I would tell you the 8 million things I have to do over the next few weeks, but everyone's busy I'm sure and no one wants to hear anyone else whine about it, unless it's over a few glasses of wine. So please have a happy thanksgiving. Take a breath. And if your schedule is anywhere near as crowded as mine, try to enjoy your time off, because the break will not last nearly long enough. And as always, thank you for reading. I plan several [...]

This was the greatest decade of music for me as a fan. There were so many incredible albums, almost all by bands I'd never even heard of in 2000, discovered almost entirely through the same musical venue that you are reading write now -- the Internet. At the dawn of the decade, I was approaching a rock fan milestone that presumably signaled the end of my interest in cool new music (I turned 30 in 2001), while at the same time, the rock music industry (ie. whatever they played on the radio) had devolved into a hybrid of cheap rap-rock [...]

Re-Post: Best Albums of the Decade: #41 - 60
60. Kanye West Graduation Few rappers have had the commercial and critical success that Kanye West has enjoyed in the last 10-years. He has gone from a little known producer to one of the biggest artists in the world and obviously there's got to be some reason behind it. Graduation isn't Kanye's finest album end-to-end but it is loaded with fantastic singles one after the other in the first half of the record. That half alone pushed it here as the last half goes a bit flat at points. But seriously this is [...]

A friend of mine once told me she thought that every Microphones album sounded like the band [...]

Happy Thanksgiving
Vague Space is planning a little, long-needed break from posting until next week. I would tell you the 8 million things I have to do over the next few weeks, but everyone's busy I'm sure and no one wants to hear anyone else whine about it, unless it's over a few glasses of wine. So please have a happy thanksgiving. Take a breath. And if your schedule is anywhere near as crowded as mine, try to enjoy your time off, because the break will not last nearly long enough. And as always, thank you for reading. I plan several [...]

Great albums of the past: Jason Anderson – New England
After releasing two records and a half (given that "Something/Everything" was credited to Jason Anderson/Wolf Colonel) under the “Wolf Colonel” moniker, Jason Anderson decided it was high time to use his own name and not to hide behind a band’s name. This decision lead him to the release of his most sincere, complete, and satisfying [...]

Top 50 Albums of the Decade
This was the greatest decade of music for me as a fan.
