Band reviews: September 2009 (Pt. 2)

Sep 23, 2009, 4:10pm Sunglasses in Unforgiven
Instead of the usual negative reviews I decided I would be positive for once. Maybe bi-monthly reviews - one negative, one positive. Here is a review of a few bands that I think are much better than most music:Deerhoof: My friend gave me a pretty rad mix CD with a few Deerhoof songs on it, and it might've just been a regular Deerhoof album but I haven't really bothered to research it because I'm

The Killers: Allison Mosshart, what the heck. Just, come on.The Flaming Lips: What is this, Zach Braff music? "I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO FLAMING LIPS," he says very loudly in a crowded room full of people wearing "The Right Type of Clothes." "I'M ZACH BRAFF. I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO > > > THE FLAMING LIPS < < <."Calexico: This is pretty much just music teacher music. Hey, let's go out for a coffee

Overcast

Jun 15, 2009, 2:24am Sunglasses in Unforgiven
My musical climate the past few weeks has been influenced mostly by the fact that my current living arrangement has me sitting/lounging on an apartment floor a lot of times. And I'm around trees and coffee and nice cloudy weather a lot more. But a lot of these times are about lounging, with overcast weather as a nice mental backdrop. Or lounging on the grass while looking right at the clouds.

Joe Hisaishi and Isaku Fujita - Robot Carnival OSTBefore you tell me I've been beaten to the draw with this one I'll have you know I went to the trouble of rearranging the tracks into the order in which they play in the movie itself. Now you can enjoy what's truly a synth symphony.

clouds, rain and the general feeling that something is missing. when it's all laid out on paper, it looks like all the pieces should match up. that this should be the answer to happiness in your late twenties. not to say it is completely absent. just so much more grey than the black and white that you expected to find. new motto: more time outside, less time inside.and now some grey songs:bill

Brazil as imagined by a fruit salad of short life-span Youtube embeds

patlabor portuguese opening (brazil)
Besides the rampant, all-consuming corruption and a desperate gaping chasm between rich and poor, Brazil is, sonically, one of the most inhabitable regions on Earth.Here you have a musical culture entirely built around recycling, re-purposing the past. Not dumping anything onto the ash heap of history (only to retrace one's steps at midnight to scavenge without giving credit), except the dogged

A most silent fulmination

May 29, 2009, 10:05pm Sunglasses in Unforgiven
Just moments ago I witnessed a backdrop of clouds appear to parallax scroll past the silhouetted trees in my neighborhood. What made this visible in the twilight was a chain of rapid-fire lightning steadily jumping between the layers; casting shadows and highlights which revealed both the depth of the formation and the ostensible higher speed of the clouds most near to me. Though inaudible from

Donna Summer - I Feel Love
"Shortsighted, bitter music fans will find enjoyment in these empty calories, but those of us hoping for more progressive, wholesome fare in the pop world will find naught but ashes in our mouths." - Sync-SwimBetween the infinite avenues of aimless emulation on Hobnox and cartoon music... Eloi, Eloi, the sky; it's full of pre-punks yet undiscovered.

I'm really not looking forward to summer being over so soon. It's been a really nice one. So I'm going to spend a lot of time listening to Iceland's Sprengjuhöllin and reminisce over bike rides and beach days and all of the fun that was had.
