Behling & Simpson – Father Father / Faith Remixes

White label offshoot Boogiefuturo has sprung out from the imprints of it's Bristolian father Futureboogie with a shuffling first impression to premier a rather unknown and remote duo. Behling & Simpson  frames their sir names and their under the radar edits have yet to see the full light of day after shedding some sun on BBC radio via Pete Tong and Julio Bashmore 's Essential Mix. One being a remix of the latter, "Father Father" spins gospel pipes and piano hymns into a percussive latin swing. A true testament to the soulful [...]

A Beta-Alpha-Cal Glance At My Favorite Records Of 2011 (So Far) ∞ Part One

A Beta-Alpha-Cal Glance At My Favorite Records Of 2011 (So Far) ∞ Part One Hard to believe it is almost July.  Which means a few things: fireworks are coming, summer is 1/3 over and it’s time to look back at the first half of the year.  So this week, The Duke is going to briefly mention his five favorite records so far this year, in reverse alphabetical order.  And these are not the records I think are the most musical or most artsy-fartsy or “the best”.  These are the records I like the best (so far). First up is The Waifs.  Their record for this year was more rootsy and dirty than [...]

Waif and Stray

Waif and Stray Jodlerklub Thun - "Alpufzug" A dull knife spreads butter on a crumbly bun. The knife is set down and the plate is carried away. The knife is rested on a page, and butter stains the paper. Oil stains the paper, in a see-through spot. There are words on the paper, the words can't be read and can't speak for themselves. A fly lands on the butter, its feet stuck in like mud. The window is open and the fly turns towards the light, the breeze, the chimes. Its eyes fragment the light, geodesic in the [...]

Friday Quick Hitters: The Waifs, Ian McFeron, Ben Sollee

Friday Quick Hitters: The Waifs, Ian McFeron, Ben Sollee The Waifs - Temptation How is it exactly that I've never mentioned my favorite Australian folk trio on this site before? I fell in love with sisters Vicki & Donna Simpson and their compatriot Josh Cunningham several years ago when I first heard the sisters' harmonies and the band's inviting acoustic melodies on their 2003 release Up All Night . Recent offerings found The Waifs experimenting with more textured and expanded sounds, but Temptation sends [...]

The Waifs – ‘Temptation’

The Waifs - 'Temptation' “Where do we take it from here?” sings Vikki Thorn on Day Dreamer, one of the most uplifting moments on The Waifs’ extraordinary sixth album, Temptation, released on March 4th. It’s a question the much-loved Australian band has asked itself several times in the 19 years since Thorn, her sister Donna [...]

Jeniferever: 'Waifs & Strays' MP3

Jeniferever: 'Waifs & Strays' MP3 Swedish dream-rock quartet Jeniferever are offering two free tracks from their forthcoming album Silesia , dropping Aprill 11th via Monotreme Records. "Waifs & Strays" is very reminiscent of Modest Mouse, Division Day and early Death Cab For Cutie. A deadly combination of complex melodies and scattered rhythms.

The Waifs - Temptation

The Waifs - SunDirtWater
Australian folk/rock trio The Waifs are a long way from Down Under lately with all three core singing and songwriting members -- Josh Cunningham and sisters Donna Simpson and Vikki Thorn -- now living separate lives stateside in Utah, L.A. and St. Paul. But when they reunited last November in the Twin Cities to record their sixth studio album since 1996, the three rekindled the special chemistry that has brought them platinum sales in the homeland and numerous Arias (the Aussie Grammy). "As if by moving, literally, so far from each other, our music has come [...]

Totally Tempting

Totally Tempting Last night, I was feeling kind of blue. Wondering if doing this music blog was worth it. Wondering if anyone reads any of my posts anymore. But then I got an email. An email about a new Waifs album coming out March 4th - Temptation. I've been a fan of this Australian band since I first saw them at Musikfest in 2003. Their album "Up All Night" is one of my Desert Island Album. So when they release a new record (about every three years), The Duke gets excited. The [...]

Jeniferever - Dover / Waifs & strays

There's a couple new tracks from Jeniferever up on SoundCloud: http://soundcloud.com/monotrem e-records/sets/jeniferever-dov er-and-waifs

The Waifs – ‘Angela’

The Waifs – ‘Angela’ The Waifs - 'Angela' (mp3) Although the core band members now live in the US, to me The Waifs are an Australian band. Those accents! Those songs! That record label they co-own with John Butler! Twenty years of playing together combined with twenty years of life experience has helped birth Temptation , their first album in five years. I think it's their best yet. The arrangements are quite sparse compared with their earlier work, but it's a good thing. Solid songs should be given room to breathe. [...]

A NEW NINEBULLETS.NET POLICY:

A NEW NINEBULLETS.NET POLICY: I’ve been tossing this idea around since the whole myspace redesign a little while back and I’ve decided to go ahead and set it in stone. Decree: ninebullets.net will no longer link to bands’ MySpace pages at the end of the posts. Why? Two words and a number: 30 second samples. On a personal basis, MySpace outlived its usefulness for me damned near a year ago and I deleted my profile, but I was willing to concede that is was a necessary promotion [...]

Contrast Podcast: The Hair

Contrast Podcast: The Hair Not only have I neglected my blog this last little while, but I've also been quite lax in my contribution to the Contrast Podcast. Last week I was all ready to return triumphant to an episode concerning The Hair , but I was scuppered by my cold and my subsequent croaky voice. I don't go all husky when I have a cold but sound more like a frog in the final throes of death. I was planning on contributing a gorgeous track by the now defunct Carissa's Wierd. You can check this out below, plus a couple [...]

Single Song Sunday: Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright (John Martyn, Billy Bragg, Indigo Girls, The Waifs and 8 more!)

Single Song Sunday: Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright (John Martyn, Billy Bragg, Indigo Girls, The Waifs and 8 more!) People who have no sense of the scale of a true coverfan's collection often ask if I've done a Dylan feature yet. Simply put, the answer is no. It's not that the task of compilation is daunting, it's that the selection pool is so huge, to pick our usual short set would be too exclusionary, like picking the best ten stars in the sky, or the top five of an endless stream of cut stones. Heck, even our long-past week of Dylan covers over at Star Maker Machine barely scratched the surface. [...]

Who Knows Where The Time Goes? (On growing up, growing old, and trying to remember it all)

Who Knows Where The Time Goes? (On growing up, growing old, and trying to remember it all) The elderchild doesn't turn seven until Wednesday, but with grandparents spread far in every direction, and friends available on weekends only, we've been in full celebratory swing since Friday. This year's theme is the circus, and we're giving it a good go, following up a week of trapeze and tumbling camp with a trip to Circus Smirkus with a few friends tomorrow. The long stretch gives me license to ponder the child she has become, and I've tried, turning to memory and the albums that line our bookcases with an eye towards recovering the [...]

I took the tube over to Camden to wander around

I took the tube over to Camden to wander around God knows how this happened, but until today I'd never seen the videos for 'London Still' or 'Bridal Train', two of my favourite songs by The Waifs. While watching 'London Still', I let out a little yelp of recognition when Donna sang about 'taking the tube over to Camden to wander around' - she was walking along the same street I strolled down just a few short weeks ago when I, totally influenced by those words, decided to do the same very same thing myself. Great fun.   [...]
