Minus Story The Captain Is Dead, Let The Drum Corpse Dance (Jagjaguwar, 2004) There is something about The Captain Is Dead, Let The Drum Corpse Dance that reminds me of rain. I love rain. I know, I should move to Seattle or something. But why would I need to when I have this album? Obviously this correlation is part of some subconscious memory. Or maybe a conscious one. Like the time Sassigrass went to see Minus Story at Kilby Court in Salt Lake [...]
It's not often you hear two three bands cover the same song with in a week of each other, but with Halloween quickly approaching I guess it's not a surprise that the Misfits are out in various forms. I'm actually really happy to be hearing covers of the Misfits, because although I hadn't thought about it until recently the Misfits are one of those punk bands, especially down south, that gets embraced by frat boys. Where you might be walking past a Frat house, [...]

Jordan Geiger of Minus Story has a solo project called Hospital Ships. With it, he explores the more personal side of his songwriting! Check out the quavering vocals on the Flaming Lips-esque "Bitter Radio Single"! Oh, Ramona comes out on October 21st. Hospital Ships - Bitter Radio Single Hospital Ships on MySpace P.S. I love that he self-describes their sound as "bells and shit".
minus story 's jordan geiger has an upcoming solo album called oh, ramona , recorded under his hospital ships moniker. that's a story of its own, taken from the opening song off the flaming lips' clouds taste metallic . "the abandoned hospital ship" opens as a familiarish wayne coyne ballad, but it doesn't really hit your future head until it reaches guitars and drums kick in, surrounded by wails, chimes and fuzz in whichever order you wish. that sets a proper context for looking at hospital ships' "the shot i drank", a song that also stands [...]
Record labels that include Jordan Geiger could be compared with the smiling parents behind scholar students. With Minus Story , Jagjaguwar were those fortunate elders, but now with the newest instantly-likable sound from Geiger, Hospital Ships , Graveface Records can now relish in what should be again considered a first prize effort. The stimulating candor of Hospital Ships transitions flawlessly from Minus Story's 'top-of-the-morning' optimism like a lullaby into a dream. Although still entwined with the sticky slow roll of Minus Story, the [...]

I had been looking forward to the Denver appearance of Shearwater every since my return from Georgia, but was completely unprepared for the quality of opening acts they brought along to the Hi-Dive Sunday night. Minus Story frontman Jordan Geiger is currently touring with the band (keys and trumpet), and he took the opportunity to start off Sunday night with a set by his newest project, Hospital Ships . For me, the fragility in Jordan's voice conjures images of Julian Koster or Daniel Johnston sitting alone in a bedroom. Granted, my association with these two [...]

Today's short story is Frank O'Connor's harrowing account of two Irish and two English soldiers during the Irish Civil War. "Guests of the Nation" captures the brutality of war, not in combat, but in the way it turns people into something else, the way it makes us all a little less human. Here's an excerpt, with the full story and mp3s after the jump: At dusk the big Englishman, Belcher, would shift his long legs out of the ashes and say, "Well, chums, what about it?" and Noble or me would say "All right, chum" (for we [...]
The Office has been absolutely wild this season. There have been even more shake-ups than there have been resolutions. Granted, the big thing that got resolved was the Pam/Jim situation. My biggest relief there was that they didn't lose any of the spark between the two now that they're dating. ...
