Listened to The White Stripes "De Stijl" last night, around 3 in the morning, so I guess it counts as today. Really good opening couple songs, You're Pretty Good Looking and Hello Operator, it kind of trails off though. "I'm Bound to Pack it Up, A Boy's Best Friend" and "Sister do you know my name" aren't really good, like at all, but then it picks back up again. I liked it a lot, excluding those three tracks.

For the Friday morning doldrums (so far):

 

SunRaTheHeliocentricWorldsofSunRa,_Vol.1.jpg

BeatHappeningJamboree.jpg

Maybe it's whiplash from the Sun Ra, but Jamboree is mostly shit, indie "twee" cred be damned. The Tapes 'n Tapes has been fun, though, for a first listen.

By default I've had to listen to the new Kings of Leon album, my annoying housemate has been playing it non-stop in the room next to mine.

The Monkees had some great singles, but they were a pretty forgettable album act. Nothing bad on Headquarters (their third lp; first to be entirely written, played and produced by the band itself)—some real good songs, even—but most of it floats by so wispily that I can't recall what I heard mere seconds after hearing it.

Beat Happening were awesome and Tapes 'n Tapes blow goats. Back to the drawing board for you, Steve.

 

If you say so. I haven't heard anything from the rest of their catalogue, but 75% or more of Jamboree seems to go like:

 

while (songlength < 2:00)
{
Drums.play("thump-a-whack-a-thump-a-whack-a");
Guitar.playSingleStringOfNotes(3);
DudeThatSoundsLikeThatDudeFromCrashTestDummies.lyricize("teenage love, like maybe the Wonder Years");
Guitar.playSameSingleStringOfNotes(3);
}

 

I mean, there's "Indian Summer" and the car crash of a "song" that ends the album does manage to work somehow as a closing track, but so much of the rest of it comes in flat for me. The sensation reminds me of my general distaste for Pink Flag, but even I can objectively see the appeal behind that one. Jamboree, I dunno. Is there some kind of context behind the album that I'm completely oblivious to? Is there a better place to start with Beat Happening?

 

I will concede, however, that Tapes 'n Tapes loses a lot of that "fun" on the second go round. "Like Drums" still has some zing to it, but the rest of the album just completely stalls out in flight after initial exposure.

Got back from work and I've made my way through the Incubus back cat. Took me years to finally get around to listening to them, but my mate shared his CDs and they're awesome.

Guest George's Box

The new Feist album. It's enjoyable, but in no way memorable. Have you ever fallen asleep in the car with your headphones on? You know you heard something, but you don't recall exactly what you heard. It's like that.

Guest The Minor Threat

Has anyone else illegally downloaded the new Bad Religion album? It's not their best work, but some of the songs are deserving of mention.
