Maybe we need to be like Gandhi says, and be the band we want to see in the world.

You are pretty awesome for this. Can.

live mr bungle cover cover of "superstition" by stevie wonder that magically turns into a cover of "rapture" by blondie

There are a fuckload of crazy covers in there by Mr. Bungle. If I was cooler, I'd be Mike Patton and cover shit left and right. That guy is a stone freak, but I think he is doing music the right way.

Got the new Neon Indian album on repeat a bit lately.

I wanted to link 'Arcade Blues' up there, but they don't have it on youtube.

If you like that track I'd comfortably recommend it. I went through a phase of listening to a lot of chip-tunes earlier this year but found them for the most part too rough and 8bit-ish, this rubs the same itch but in a more mellow way.

I saw Neon Indian at this thing that I frequently want to mention, if only because it was the height of any hipster cred I can claim--- free secret show in Brooklyn that I got on the guest list for. Neon Indian, Designer Drugs, Almighty Defenders (the only performers I actually cared about seeing), some other band I can't even remember. Open bar, that was the important thing. And me and my friend convinced these drunk girls we were in a band.

I think Neon Indian is the kind of thing that is not good live, because it's just a guy on a stage tweaking knobs.


A girl I know is in this video! The coolest record promoter is clearly the one who openly tells you she hates being a record promoter, and quits to go to Anthropology grad school. Too bad she is in a video for his new, boring album.

I felt the same way about the hip hop acts at this festival I was at a couple of weekends ago.  None of the hip hop dudes had bands, just a dj so It was just a couple of dudes prowling the stage barking into a mic.  I want to see people playing instruments.

So I just heard Radiohead for the first time, on Colbert. This is something I have somehow managed to avoid, and apparently just as well. From the evidence of this one song, they are the worst kind of These Kids Today Pretending It's The Sixties band, which is the type that is trying to sound like the late Beatles. Been there, done that, didn't like it that much the first time around.

OMG they were doing a whole HOUR of this show with Radiohead. I tried to listen to their second song for the sake of cultural education but it was unbearable.

This is a thing that is really interesting to me. Sometimes people describe bands in ways that make no sense to me. It is definitely something about what I pay attention to. I would describe radiohead as mostly annoying "noise" guitar with dumb whining over it. But you hear the Beatles. Maybe this new stuff is so different.

The second song definitely started out with annoying guitar and then vocals so annoying that they made me leap for the remote control, so perhaps that one was more Traditional Radiohead.

holy crap, I totally hear it.
I am always blown away by this. I don't know if I ever would have thought Radiohead sounded at all like the Beatles if someone hadn't said this to me.

The one example of this that I will never understand is people who say Nirvana "just sounds like the pixies." Friends of mine who are not otherwise idiots say this constantly. What are the defining elements of the Pixies' sound?
To me:
1. weird rhythms
2. weird surf lead
3. acoustic rhythm guitar
4. singing in Spanish
5. lady backing vocals
6. the loud/quiet/loud thing

Of those 6, only one of them has anything to do with Nirvana. And it is a thing that tons of other bands do.
