The best band with the worst name played a good show last night. They just don't give a fuck, they want to have fun and play the most epic guitar possible. I've compared them (and I"m sure I am not original here) to Andrew WK with guitars. The two songs they have videos for are not my favorites, because that is how songs work.

Cool part: I guess my roommates played a show with them a while ago, so they went up and said hi. The guys in the band were incredibly friendly, happy to see them, and remembered all of their names. More importantly, my other roommate walked up and told them that he would LOVE to design a shirt or album cover for them, and they reacted really enthusiastically and offered him a lot of money right off the bat. They said they make most of their money from t-shirts, and try to have new ones every time they go on tour to a place that they've been before. Awesome.

The openers were also great. I was disappointed they were out of t-shirts in my size.

This is the kind of shit that makes me wish I knew scales and time signatures and things. God fuck*ng damnit. Those guitars, the bass, mannn. I tried to see these guys in New York in 2008 and couldn't figure out where they were playing. God damnit.

Meanwhile me and my roommates have trouble doing anything but jamming on E. MAJOR.

(because one guy who insists on playing literally does not know what a key is, and one guy named Inev freezes up and can't remember anything as soon as other people start playing)

In 2 months we are having a band party at our house. The concept is that we make a sign-up list, and your band gets 15 minutes. The goal is to have as many bands as possible. We'll set up a PA, drums, a keyboard, 2 guitars and a bass, and the bands will just come up and play and then leave. You can play covers, originals, whatever. Right now there is dissent about how many bands one person is allowed to be in... my impulse is to start like 6 temporary bands. Country band, punk band, noisey guitar pop band, etc.

Also: I have never understood when people compare certain types of guitar playing to "masturbation" and now i get it. Playing corny blues licks is really fun, and feels great, but I don't want anyone to hear me do it. It's embarrassing, and the idea that I would do it in public is mortifying. Lately I am stuck on this thing that sounds kind of like this song. I guess I would not be embarrassed to play blues lead while someone sang. But hearing myself playing little riffs on a blues progression makes me realize immediately why headphones exist. Nobody needs to hear that.

When I play shit that sounds like something REM or the Archers of Loaf threw out 20-30 years ago, though, everyone in the neighborhood needs to hear that.

ALSO: SHIT & GODDAM

You should check out Live at Slim's. Same songs, much rawer. It actually predates the studio album. I too was turned on to EODM by this board via our old long lost friend Slink, who, if you recall was nuts about anything Mark Lanegan related.

Oh man, I did not know what EODM meant, so good...that first album!!!


Also, I have maybe listened to San Berdoo Sunburn more than any song.  It's up there for sure.  And Whorehoppin'!

The Fiery Furnaces, Lost at Sea.

When you download 10 years of Fluxblog annual survey's in less than a weeks time like I did it's naturally going to take awhile to sift through and process. If the record industry is paying attention it will notice that I have actually bought a few records from some of the artists I like the most on these surveys. Artists I would have never heard of if not for these surveys. The latest being The Fiery Furnaces.

This is actually the 4th song of theirs to come my way via mixdisc.  I guess it takes awhile for some things to sink in. Either that or Lost at Sea is the first song to really catch my attention.

The first thing I noticed about it is the similarity in melody to Saturday in the Park. Wikipedia says they've broken up so I guess I discover everything too late. :(

Overall fantastic sounds, but some of the more subtle vocal techniques here are just mindblowing: http://sahelsounds.bandcamp.com/album/music-from-saharan-cellphones

Listening nonstop to this mix. The transition from old-school ska to early reggae, it's basically tough soul music with a Jamaican tinge. Awesome stuff for driving in the snow.

I mean, REALLY. When I listen to this stuff I forget why I ever like other kinds of music. Also, music with this rhythm taught me how to dance. Something about the emphasis being on the off beat made my teenage brain finally understand that dancing is about finding the beat and moving around within it. Not just stomping down on every downbeat.
