stuff from foreign born

Posted by doubter on Friday, July 31st, 2009

ive been listening to foreign born’s recently released secretly canadian record, person to person, for about a week, and while im still on the fence, im coming around. i kept picking up a sound/influence that i couldnt quite put my finger on then half way through my second listen it came to me, echo & the bunnymen. btw, i dont think there are enough bands influenced be em, just sayin… then by chance i landed on allmusic to read a bit more about the record, and whoever did up their profile tends to think they sound like em too – validation is nice. anyway, its a very lofty and summery record and even though they sound nothing like pavement, they remind me of the way pavement reminds me of summer. good stuff, but i still need convincing, i think….

Posted by doubter on Thursday, July 30th, 2009

black-sabbath1

i’m not what you would consider a black sabbath fan. i have never listened to a black sabbath record, and outside of the few that are staples in jukeboxes and classic radio stations across the land, i haven’t heard too many of their songs. that being what it is, i have been listening to this sabbath show from 8.5.75 show from ashbury and i must contend that its pretty bad ass.

1. killing yourself to live
2. hole in the sky
3. snowblind
4. symptom of the universe
5. war pigs
6. talking
7. meglomania
8. sabbra cadabra

stuff from robert pollard's elephant jokes

yeah, i havent been keeping up…. im a bad uncle bob fan, but like i have stated in the past, i have had to take a break from paying attention. after 15/16 years of hanging on every release, and god knows my bank acct has felt the affects of the shitstorm of releases he’s bestowed upon us, i’ve had to quit my obsession cold turkey. with that said, bob’s got a new one coming out on 9.11 that he is calling, elephant jokes – which you can pre-order here.

what im listening to right now: pawnshop diamond

Posted by doubter on Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

pawnshop
photo by fiona garden

i’ve had this folder “pawnshop final masters” sitting on my desktop for a month or so now. its almost been deleted a few times, as i have been running out of real estate on my desktop cause i sometimes become too lazy to move stuff from the said desktop into their appropriate folders. anyway, so i decided to give this record a chance, and that record is pawnshop diamond’s leaning to the sun. i am currently only on track #4 “sweet music,” of the ten song affair, but thus far im diggin their country and kind of jazzy vibe. lead singer, katie ormiston, has a great voice and can pen a pretty nice tune. btw, im on the last track now, “camping song” and all in all its a good record, not awesome, but its filled with a bunch of nice tunes that would be perfect for swigging some beers and shootin the hit on a lovely summer day.

bird and flower's "hotboots" & "jump out the way"

Posted by doubter on Monday, July 27th, 2009

eve

admittedly, and probably like most of you, i have my musical “things.” these “things” usually manifest themselves into certain genres and artists that “do it” for me. these “things” that “do it” for me are typically your standard rock stuff that 35 year old dudes are into, but you already knew that. what i am getting at is that eve searls and her chosen moniker, bird and flower, arent typically something i would listen to, but dammit if she didnt win me over about half-way through one listen of “hotboots” off her recently released sunken treasure records, here we cease our motion – which was produced by jerry decicca of The black swans. the record tows a gray line tween singer songwriter inspired numbers ala edith frost and joanna newsom to more glitchy pop numbers ala lykke li and the blow. now, me and eve see eye to eye on the first genre, but her more pop inspired numbers is where i initially had a knee jerk “this aint my thing” reaction. but as i said earlier, it only took about a minute to put the knee down and give in to what she is selling. simply put,”hotboots” is fun fucking song, the record is quite charming, and sometimes i, collective we?, just gotta get past the idea that not everything needs to be life changing and accept and love shit for exactly what it is. i have issues, and i am coming to grips with em.

buy here we cease our motion, here via sunken treasure – which is run by robert @ donewaiting.
