I like that there doing new things instead of just jerking their collective chops.
But...They're called notes, in western music there are twelve, you can use more than one or two per what you think is a song.
Tyondai Braxton is pretty cool.

I just read the page blurb -- can't believe that The Knife is already a touchstone for music reviews. That shit is just lazy.

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-02-22 13:25:18 +0000

One: they're on the same label as the Knife. Two: it's better than comparing them to, say, Times New Viking.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-02-22 15:45:04 +0000

What does the Knife sound like? Is it lazy because they are not explaining sonic characteristics to a reader who may have no point of reference?

Just curious...

Posted by mahatma chani on 2007-02-22 16:00:49 +0000

The Knife is kinda gothic trance keyboardy-y stuff. If you can imagine mid-period Bailter Space mixed with a hint of Chappaquidick Skyline, I think you'd get the idea.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-02-22 16:10:11 +0000

I thought after the year 1995/1996 I would never hear anyone say 'Bailter Space' again.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-02-22 17:02:45 +0000

If it becomes common for reviewers to use current records as compare/contrast points EVEN THOUGH EVERY ALBUM THAT HAS EVER BEEN RECORDED IS AVAILABLE ONLINE then I'll see you in the bunker.

Can't wait to hear that at home.

I almost wore my red, v-neck, Izod sweater today. C4RT will have to accept me in grey.

thats some competition with the Axe that our favorite time travelers will be wearing...

We love you just the way you are.

Love the vocals. Adds depth if even I have no idea what he's saying.

How short can we get with the guitar straps?

Posted by tgl on 2007-02-28 18:42:00 +0000

If you don't recognize me by sight, you will by smell.

Posted by tgl on 2007-03-01 21:56:13 +0000

That's nuts. It'll be a great show. I know it's kinda dorky to wear the t-shirt of the band you are witnessing, how dorky is it to bring the record satchel?

Posted by ConorClockwise on 2007-03-02 04:04:23 +0000

So dorky it is a must.

<i>Mirrored</i>came in the mail last night.

Fave track right now (09, BTW) is 'Snare Hangar'.

Wow - this stuff is SUPER GOOD, precise, and fuckin weird.
'
What a combo.

You're Welcome.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-23 16:44:13 +0000

Just ordered <i>Mirrors</i> from insound.com

The Atlas 12" is backordered.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-23 16:51:47 +0000

How do you like Insound™? I have ordered from them once or twice, but have found that they come in slower than, say, a newburycomics.com or a <a href="http://www.dtmgallery.com">dtmgallery.com</a>.

Corwood Industries has the fastest mailorder turnaround, but that means fuck all unless you want a whole shitload of Jandek cds in yr collection.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-23 17:05:44 +0000

I'd prefer they hold my orders until they can complete the whole thing, mostly so that I won't get charged for postage twice. I think I'm _still_ waiting for a Bill Laswell Axiom release.

Did I get the Burma subscription through them?

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-23 17:11:41 +0000

Free w/ Order: <a href="http://www.insound.com/getdigital/">Let's Get Digital</a>

Oh yeah. Those American Apparel ads are probably in violation of company policy.

Posted by G lib on 2007-05-23 17:12:55 +0000

I didn't know that gum chewing formerly fat guitarist was in BTTLES until I just watched a second of the video.

NOW I understand why you all are creaming yourselves over this band.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-23 17:26:02 +0000

Can't tell who is chewing gum.

On that relationship chart: It's cool that The Middle East is one of the links (pun intended).

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-23 17:35:57 +0000

which Laswell Axiom?

Posted by G lib on 2007-05-23 17:37:25 +0000

Sorry-- I meant "Gum chewing formerly fat DON CAB guitarist".

TGL-- Weren't you at that show downstairs a few years ago when he blew gum bubbles the entire length of the show?

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-23 17:56:43 +0000

Don't remember him being fat.

Ian Williams == Chick Magnet.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-23 18:01:06 +0000

I really don't remember, I think I canceled the order, actually. Could have been an Axium Funk release: http://www.discogs.com/release/875841

BTW, I've been listening to Temporary Music lately. Might prefer it to the Material album with the William S. Burroughs track. <a href="http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=3382239&cart=543466697&BAB=E">Here's</a> a re-issue. Mine's on vinyl, natch.

Posted by Epoisses on 2007-05-23 18:26:17 +0000

Burma was through Insound.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-24 09:53:21 +0000

Material is good stuff. I have a 'Hallucination Engine' disc that also has some Burroughs stuff.

I actually have the double disc of Axiom funk you linked to as well. If Im not mistaken ,its pretty well out of print. If yr interested Id be happy to send you a CDR - lemme know

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-24 11:08:20 +0000

Yeah, <i>Hallucination Engine</i> was my first introduction to Material. There's a twenty year gap between that and <i>Temporary Music</i>, it shows, too. I think I prefer the earlier work.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-24 11:11:15 +0000

That got screwed up, but they fixed it quickly.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-24 11:18:41 +0000

Ill have to check out the earlier stuff.

As far as Laswell was concerned, my biggest interests were the Last Exit Band (Peter Brotzmann / Bill Laswell / Sonny Sharrock / Ronald Shannon Jackson) and the Painkiller band (J Zorn / B Laswell / Mick Harris of Napalm Death)

I also like the Celluloid stuff of the mid 80's - Golden Palominos et. al - I think Hip Hop / Funk 'Rockit' Herbie Hancock era on Angel Dust.

Ever hear the celluloid 12" single'Time Zone' Band/ Project Laswell did with Afrika Bambatta and John Lydon? (I always thought 'World Destruction' would be a great cover for C4RT)

At any rate, Bill Laswell is a criminally underappreciated talent.

Laswell immersion, anyone?

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-24 11:20:48 +0000

Haven't listened to those projects. I came to Laswell through Praxis, if that tells you anything.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-05-24 11:51:02 +0000

Forgot about that - I have Buckethead in my life.

did you ever see the <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wttw/soundstage/laswell/featured.htm#">Praxis / Laswell</a> special that aired on PBS's soundstage a year or so ago?

sweet - your turntable must be smiling.

Posted by tgl on 2007-05-31 12:37:17 +0000

Yes, but not The Wife.

On first listen: Race (both tracks), TIJ, Atlas and Ddiamondd are standouts. Don't care much for the remix on the B side of the single. And yes, I did start the single off at 33 1/3.

Anyone want to explain what "math rock" is?

Posted by cdubrocker on 2007-06-01 16:59:29 +0000

From the times I've heard it, kind of a modern-day prog rock minus the pretentious pomp. Someone else probably has a more in-depth description.

Posted by MF DU on 2007-06-01 17:01:31 +0000

good heavens, no.

Umm: Lots of Stops / starts, weird, proggy, well-mic'ed drums, angular - how am I doing guys?

Posted by cdubrocker on 2007-06-01 17:13:55 +0000

That's a very good description of it. Seriously.
