hear hums - towards above
Hear Hums - Toward Above from Digital Protein on Vimeo.
It has become tough for me to control my emotions. I find them swirling and tumbling like a tornado tearing through a trailer park. At one moment I may be calm and relaxed knowing that all will be well if I only wait for the positive changes. The next I am a fierce beast ready to grasp at the throat of the first person to test my metal. Afterward however I know I would only feel regret for the damage that would be done. It seems that when I have these moments I am constantly uncomfortable with my psyche cycles.
"Mitch and Kenzie who are an experimental/visual music duo known as Hear Hums from Gainesville Florida have created an interesting and ear pleasing album with their second release Psyche Cycles. The album recently received a well deserved limited to one hundred copy cassette release from Crash Symbols who also handled the release for Foot Village. The album takes many shifts moving from calm ambience to almost angry pounding moments throughout its fourteen tracks simulating the many moods that the human mind goes through. The duo also compiled their own mind bending video all made up of footage that was shot and self edited for two singles Cerebellum and Woo that can be viewed through their Vimeo is also well worth the look at. Their third album is on its way as well and already I am interested to see what this creative duo is planning. Have a taste of Woo here then head over to have a listen to the full album which is free for download on their Bandcamp page. It is sure to peak your interest if you have tastes that lean in the experimental or psychedelic direction." good pop bad pop

robert pollard: mais três discos
mais três discos, mas o gajo da spinner explica melhor.
As they anxiously await Guided by Voices' New Year's Eve Bash at New York's Irving Plaza,Robert Pollard's disciples will be stoked to learn that the singer shows no sign of slowing down in 2011. According to Blurt, Pollard has three albums readied for release early next year, including a solo disc he's calling 'Space City Kicks,' plus recordings by Lifeguards, his project with ex-GBV guitarist Doug Gillard, and Mars Classroom, his collaboration with Big Dipper's Gary Waleik and Pell Mell's Robert Beeman.
'Space City Kicks,' which Pollard recorded with the help of longtime conspirator Todd Tobias, drops Jan. 18. According to a description from his label, Guided by Voices Inc., the album captures Pollard "at his loosest and most free, under which conditions he very often produces his finest work."
Meanwhile, Lifeguards' long-awaited follow-up to 2002's 'Mist King Urth' will have its official release on Feb. 15. Titled 'Waving at the Astronauts,' the disc will boast titles like 'Paradise Is Not So Bad' and 'Sexless Auto.' Six weeks later, Mars Classroom unveils 'The New Theory of Everything,' which finds the GBV mastermind in cahoots with Waleik, who fronted Boston's Big Dipper on '80s college-rock masterpieces like 'Craps.'

the coathangers - parcheezi
it´s so parcheezi...
In less than three years, The Coathangers, Julia Kugel (guitar/vocals), Stephanie Luke (drums/vocals), Candice Jones (keyboard/vocals), and Meredith Franco (bass/vocals) have grown from a band of girlfriends buying the cheapest instruments an Atlanta pawn shop could offer, to a group of formidable, adaptable performers...
Here is the group as a group, an unbreakable unit - the chemistry and magic of all component parts interacting - all the girls or none.
You could look at them and think they're this way or that, but they will not conform. These are four really different people who have bonded beyond the point of just being friends. You might think you can pin them down, but they don't care. Their fashion isn't contrived...their music feels like music for music's sake because that's exactly what it is...natural, voluntary, spontaneous, impulsive, intuitive...and entirely better for it.
"We write all the songs together, trying everything out within a day; we switch instruments, waste time, thrive on building pressure," says Julia Kugel, "every song is an art project, a starting over, a Scramble."
Songs like "Bury Me" and "Time Passing" use chanted vocals to approach a kind of personal sloganeering - like Huggy Bear, shot with syncopated voices, but minus the political fury. In "Pussywillow," the melodic chop of the guitar brings the chorus, "This means nothing to you... It means nothing to me, too. To me, me..." lifting the call-and-response action from bratty disgust to melancholy realization, then back again.
There's a definitive strength in the scrambled vernacular of the band's songwriting. Do they bring the party, as rumor has it? Absolutely. It's an exhausting time. But what these ladies' have to give, both performing live, and on record, leads to a beautiful exhaustion: a feeling both empty and full, like at the end of intense physical activity, when your body is burned, yet charged...
Strip away the music-biz pretense like that and it leaves you with only the things that are simple, stunning, and true. The Coathangers are one of those things. Start the party.

gay beast - @ cake shop
e para os chinese stars não ficarem sózinhos, gay beast numa pastelaria de nova iorque.
"Gay Beast are from Minneapolis and claim a 'neo-wave' sound which is about a decade and a few hundred miles removed from Chicago's now wave 'explosion', and they use that time and distance to their advantage. At times I am reminded of Karate Party, Devo, Brianiac, Lovely Little Girls, and Lake of Dracula, but that recall comes in tiny pieces, small chunks in a bigger platter. And all that is good, and better that Gay Beast studiously avoids aural polish. There is a nice film of filth on this recording. If this is how they sound live: Wow!" -SS (Z-Gun http://z-gun.org)
"There are too many bands out there futzing around with progressive rock, with 'no wave'/'now wave' tropes, with neon-colored wackiness; bands that aren't putting the music out front; bands that have slid down the slope of 'being off' (a slope which descends into Mike Patton's open mouth). Gay Beast, a guitar/synth/drums trio from Minneapolis, is not one of these bands, yet they play with all those parts in full swing, a real platespinning act of dynamics, abrasion, and genuine melodic innovation. All mistakes are studiously avoided and pratfalls are timed for maximum effect. All comedic qualities of the band are insular and intrinsic. Their attack is vicious and weird, processing their robotic fortunes under sheets of electronic duress, but their balance is impeccable. Bands like Gay Beast used to get me excited, but none have had such a gloriously bent and creative batch of songs to match up with the innovation. If handled correctly, Gay Beast should tap into, then later usurp, the whacking off of outfits like Hella or Lightning Bolt or Deerhoof, or at least play in the same league. Very, very exciting stuff here, which hides its hand with masterful skill, and which plays down that which could easily wreck a less-capable band.

A recent photo of Rowland Howard.Photo: Simon Schluter
ROWLAND S HOWARD HANGS UP HIS GUITAR FOR KEEPS
MELBOURNE musician Rowland S. Howard - the guitarist in Nick Cave's cult punk-era bands The Boys Next Door and The Birthday Party - died yesterday at the Austin Hospital from liver cancer. He was 50.
Howard wrote the 1979 cult hitShivers for The Boys Next Door. He then played with Cave in The Birthday Party until the influential band split in 1983 amid turmoil and drug abuse.
Long-time friend and Birthday Party bandmate Mick Harvey, who played drums on Howard's newest, critically acclaimed solo album Pop Crimes, said Howard did not want to die.
''Sometimes people are ready to go because they have been sick for a long time, but Rowland really wanted to live.
''Things were going well for him outside of his health and he wanted to take advantage of that and he was very disappointed that he wasn't well enough to do so.''
Pop Crimes has been on many Australian music critics' best-of-2009 lists, and the swansong album is considered a favourite in the upcoming Australian Music Prize.
Howard was due to play at Festival Hall on Tuesday - the night before he died - with American band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who had requested him, but he cancelled. Earlier this month, he had to cancel his show at the Northcote Social Club after being admitted to hospital.
Howard's last public performance was at St Kilda's Prince Bandroom in October. He struggled through the gig, coughing and spitting up blood, but a full house of older fans and young enthusiasts had come to pay their respects and celebrate his unique canon of work.
As his health deteriorated, he was forced to cancel subsequent performances.
Howard's slashing, reverb-drenched guitar style with The Birthday Party and Boys Next Door, and then offshoot outfits including Crime and the City Solution and These Immortal Souls, influenced by jazz, blues and avant-garde music, inspired new generations of Melbourne guitarists.
But the gaunt and stick-thin musician recently told The Age that he would prefer it if young bands were inspired by his attitude, not his sound.
''Usually when people say to me that a new band sounds just like me, I feel that they have missed the point entirely,'' he said.
''It's not just about being noisy and aggressive, it's a whole aesthetic, trying to meld genres into something new. So doing something that is based on that 30 years later is fairly redundant.
''They [young bands] should be looking for something that is of their own.''
Howard played a pivotal role in the Australian punk movement, which was captured in Richard Lowenstein's punk documentary released this year, We're Living on Dog Food.
Pop Crimes was Howard's second solo album, released this year almost a decade after the first.
It described his feelings for his predicament - and it also described the world he saw around him, which he considered decaying.
On the album's title track he prophetically sang: ''I guess that I won't see you tomorrow/On this, our planet of perpetual sorrows''.
Music critics consider his legacy to be one of honesty and integrity.
''I think that the most important thing about music should be that it expresses some kind of humanity and it should express the personality of the person who is playing it,'' he told The Agerecently.
''And if you're good enough, then people will be able to tell it's you, not just anyone.''
Howard's father, brother and sister all live in Melbourne. Funeral plans are yet to be announced.
