The "wink wink" Thread 2010: This Time It's Personal
ALoveSupreme:
Last September I was on tour with a band called Netherfriends. We played a string of really good shows leading to our last stop in Columbus, Ohio. We had played that same venue two months prior and did not have an exceptional experience. This time around was looking to be similar... we showed up an hour before show time, and roughly 45 minutes into when the show was supposed to start, we were told the guy who booked the show was on his way. There were no other bands present, let alone anyone to see a show.
We seriously contemplated leaving, but the lack of anywhere to stay combined with the six and a half hour drive home motivated Shawn to have us stick it out... I'm lucky we did.
Aside from everything working out venue-wise, I was treated to one of the best solo performances I had seen in years, let lone that tour leg. Despite being completely broke at the end of tour, I grabbed his vinyl and have appreciated it nearly every day since.

--- Quote ---Everyone from Woody Guthrie and Tiny Tim to Devendra Banhart and Raffi share space in Jordans mind, making for an album that
effortlessly juggles humor, drama, sharp wit and lyrical poetry into an assemblage of short stories that demand repeat listens for their full emotional impact.

--- Quote ---Two celestial bodies from a distant galaxy combine their chemicals and produce a
cosmic cloud of purple and gold. We received the audio samples of this event and
pressed them to vinyl.

Pop. 1280 - The Grid EP (Sacred Bones, 2010)
--- Quote ---Pop. 1280 are a cyberpunk band from New York City. The Grid is their first 12-inch release. Members include: Chris Bug, Ivan Lip, John Skultrane, and Andrew S. They got together in 2099 and have released two 7-inch records, the most recent being a self-released single and split 7-inch with Philadelphia’s Hot Guts. As dark and sinister as the Jim Thompson novel from which the band borrows their name, these nine dirges of skronky noir are the logical successor to the brand of scree practiced by forebearers the Chrome Cranks, Honeymoon Killers, and Pussy Galore, and along with contemporaries Twin Stumps, White Suns, Woman, and York Factory Complaint are ushering in a new era of punk.
Their music is all about the future that has already happened. Think Videodrome-era David Cronenberg mixed with Escape from New York-era John Carpenter. The Grid was recorded in April of 2010 in the basement of a closed Catholic School. On it are six songs using synthesizers, scrap metal, racoon-screech guitar, and samples about the freaks that inhabit The Grid. Step into it.

The Wrens- Silver
--- Quote ---Produced by Pedal Boy & the Wrens
Released 1994, Grass Records
Silver - our first full length. Everyone should make a first record. Except us.
The record company gave us a “due date” and on that day, Jerry and Greg drove out to Long Island to personally hand the finished recording to our beloved Camille (i.e., the record company). There they stood in Camille’s office, proudly waiting for the first track (of 26) to cue up. Young. Excited. Already planning tour bus décor options.
Sadly though, we had made a series of the kind of dumb-ass musical/production decisions that people like Malcolm Gladwell can spend a career parsing – culminating in the wisdom of mixing the entire 26-song opus in one consecutive 18-hour all-nighter. This had the effect of combining most of our greatest strengths at the time - technical audio incompetence, unlevel-headedness in the face of looming deadlines, depressed exhaustion and an inability to self-edit – into one deadly 26-song musical power move.
Stunning.
So what fudged its way out of Camille’s speakers that day was maybe two decent songs, 24 others, and all sadly enveloped in the impenetrable low-end rumble of the approaching worms in Dune.
Camille, in her infinite kindness gently asked, “is this the way it’s supposed to sound?”
Greg & Jerry retreated home with mixed news of victory, we remixed over the next week or two and Charles has since listened to this album exactly twice. Because it’s just too good to bear.

Algernon Cadwalllader - Fun 7-inch

It's nothing new, but I was just listening to these guys for the first time in a while, and I was reminded of how great they are. This EP is pure Cap'n Jazz worship...there might be some Nothing Feels Good-era The Promise Ring in there too, though that kind of overlaps with the previous comparison. I was going to post their full-length, Some Kind of Cadwallader, which is a lot mathier in comparison, but went for this because it's a lot more fun and I'm in that kind of mood. Anway, enjoy!
