White Town - Alain Delon 7"

Artist: White Town

Album: Alain Delon 7"
Release: 1991

Label: Parasol

Tracklist:

1. Hair Like Alain Delon

2. And Then It Changed

3. John Selwyn Gummer

4. Life's Too Short

Depending on whether or not you're a master of either the U.S. or U.K. version of 90's Trivial Pursuit, you may recognize the name White Town. His fluke, 1997 smash hit "Your Woman" was as infectious to the psuedo-alt kids of the post-grunge era as Ebola Richmond was to lab monkeys...aaaaaand that's the best I can do with that joke. Iffy!

White Town is not actually the creepy Frenchman from the video above, but is instead an India-to-U.K. Gummi Bear who goes by the name Jyoti Mishra, who is apparently straight edge and, at least in the 90's, a communist. I guess there were red edgemen other than the Manliftingbanner/Seein' Red crew!

90's hardcore aside, I recently re-listened to the legendary spinART compilation ...One Last Kiss in an attempt to actually appreciate it as much as I should. I didn't get very far, though, because I couldn't get past the sixth track, White Town's "Hair Like Alain Delon." I knew who White Town was from "Your Woman," so I left utterly confused by the sound of "Alain Delon," which was part of the classic early 90's indie pop sound and not technopop. A quick Wikipedia search revealed it was indeed the same band. Holy moly!

The only thing that blew my mind more than that revelation was the song itself. It's seriously a pop classic and has been my favorite song for the past six months, at least. In the song, Mishra reveals his wishes to be more like the otherworldly French actor in an attempt to escape this humdrum existence and to overcome his romantic shortcomings. My description fails to come close to giving it justice.

The Alain Delon EP was released on the familiar Parasol Records and features four songs in the indie pop vein. Aside from "Alain Delon," the other three songs are strong pop offerings and it's great to hear Mishra's songs played with a full band. "Life's Too Short" is probably my other favorite jam on this EP. Really, though, this is an incredible pop gem that, for some reason, has flown way under the radar. Please do yourself a favor and check this out!

Thanks to Pat Stankard of Weed Hounds for ripping this for me! If and when I get more of his early material and, if anyone cares, I'll post more.

...One Last Kiss Compilation (spinART, 1992)

1. I Love Her All the Time

As some of you may know, I adore Slumberland Records to the point where it's awkward and uncomfortable and any resulting ridicule is probably warranted. Still, the label was probably the most important discovery of my junior year of high school. I spent countless hours in my room (or video game-friendly basement) listening to Slumberland bands (or similar acts) and cursing my parents for having not met two decades earlier. The classics, such as Black Tambourine or Henry's Dress, were what initially hit me the hardest and left, for better or worse, an immediate and undying impression upon me.

As I began delving deeper into the label's other releases (or, to some, its throwaways,) I realized that I loved absolutely everything from the original incarnation of the label, with these "throwaways" holding more weight with me than the label giants. Whorl is the best example of this, as they've become not only my favorite Slumberland act (well, maybe tied with Henry's Dress!), but one of my favorite bands ever.

I discovered Whorl as I began to further investigate Black Tambourine and its satellite projects. Pam Berry, being the focal point of the band for many, compelled me to check out Glo-Worm first, and, while I do find them to be great, they had nothing on my next, non-Pam Berry discovery: Whorl.

I suppose the band used to be called Big Jesus Trash Can, though I have never heard their cassingle or anything else they may have released, but I do know they had a very free-form, Birthday Party-inspired sound that can not only be found in sister projects such as Powderburns, but their earliest material, particularly the Mind Revolution 7" from 1990. This 7" is the best example of this particular sound of theirs, highlighting the aggressive and primitive post-punk sound. "Stupid Shit," in particular stands out, with the vocalist's signature deep wailing exclaiming and threatening violence and bloody murder.

They followed up that 7" with something even greater: the Maybe It's Better 7", a release that stands as one of my favorite singles from the label, which, to me, rivals other 7" gems such as the Lilys' February Fourteenth, Stereolab's John Cage Bubblegum, and, well, my list could go on and on because I care too much. The point is that it's really fucking good. I suppose you could follow that link for a more detailed description of it, but if you're too lazy or uncaring, it's the moment when the band took a more pop approach to their sound, creating a shoegaze mini-masterpiece.

Mind Revolution and Maybe It's Better are the only two solo efforts from the band, but they were featured on at least four other compilations. These contributions range from mildly interesting diversions (the live "White Trash" and their cover of Beat Happening's "The This Many Boyfriends Club") to stronger material that is more than worth your time. Of the two excellent compilation songs, the Simple Machines track, "Not Me" is a definite growth from the sound heard on Mind Revolution, maintaining the band's noisy edge, but with an added melodic feel. "I Love Her All The Time," from the classic spinART compilation ...One Last Kiss, is the band's longest and more droning moment, resembling earlier Powderburns jams. It's a lazier Whorl that is less driven, yet, in exchange, is DMT-worthy in its ability to induce a trance-like state.

I guess this is a long write-up for a band that only had two 7"s, a handful of comp tracks, and that is all-but-forgotten, but I think they deserve all the time I've spent writing this. As I sit here typing, my girlfriend (a definite fan of the band) fails to understand how I could find Whorl to be my favorite Slumberland band and thinks I'm crazy for it. She's probably onto something, but that doesn't stop me from making these outlandish claims.

Anton Szandor LeVay - Strange Music 10"

Release: 1994
Label: Amarillo

1. Thanks For The Memory
2. Strange Music
3. Temptation
4. Start The Day Right
5. One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)
6. The Year Of Jubilo
7. Gloomy Sunday

"When everyone is reading Nietzsche, I'll be watching Don Ameche" -Anton Szandor LaVey

While existing as an author, roustabout, musician, smart man, word-spinner, funny and witty prankster, and one hell of a calliope player, the world seems to know Anton Szandor LeVay solely as the founder and high priest of the Church of Satan...

All the vocals done on this are by Blanche Barton (at one point, the wife and mother of LaVey's son.) The album is interesting in that it's mostly Lounge music done all on Synths, even the things you'd think aren't, but they all happen to be done by the man himself. Strange Music is great for a quiet night at home, sipping on a fine glass of scotch, good whiskey, or a well-made martini. I'll admit it's not for everyone and is a required taste for most, but I've enjoyed it for a bit now. I'm sure most of you will overlook it, but for you lucky ones out there in internetland, this is a great find. I'd love to have posted the Answer me/Honolulu 7" LeVay did, but I was not able to convert it. What a pity! Hope you enjoy...

Prost!

Almost five months ago I was emailed by a fellow named Josh who sent me mp3s of a band called the Scrotum Poles. The childish name combined with my assumption that it was just his band and was his way to try and get on the blog led me to ignore the email and file it away semi-permanently. Somehow, months later, I found the email and read the description more closely. Turns out, Josh had sent me a personal rip of this record, which is a compilation of home and studio recordings from a long lost Scottish post-punk/indie pop band from 1979/1980. So yeah, thanks so much, Josh!

The Scrotum Poles sound like if Beat Happening existed in Scotland in the late 70s and were nihilistic instead of creepy. The band plays really primitive pop music with a warped sense of humor. They only released (on their own) one 7" during their stint as a band, entitled Revelation. Most of the material here is lo-fi, seemingly barely rehearsed, and undercooked and I mean that as a compliment. Not everything is a winner, but there are some serious pop gems here, such as the opener "It Just Ain't Fucking Funny," both alternate versions (one acoustic, one full band) of "Pick The Cats Eyes Out," and "Helicopter Honeymoon." To be honest, the best songs on this tend to be the alternate versions of the songs on their 7", but there was way more to this band than those songs.

I guess this seems to be more for Scrotum Poles diehards (do these exist?) or Scottish pop fans, but I highly recommend checking out this awesome compilation. It's a blast.

18. California Nights

Where can I even begin with Lesley Gore, the very talented and beautiful icon (among others such as Priscilla Paris, Diane Ray, Bernadette Caroll, etc. etc. etc.) of 60's bubble gum pop. For most of you who are semi-familiar with this amazing woman (or 60's pop culture,) you'll first think of the hits such as "It's My Party," "California Nights," and, most obviously, "Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows." Though all great songs, I found her material to be deeper than sunshine and joy. All sorts of emotions pour out of the songs on this album, even with earlier feminist lyrics in "You Don't Own Me." It's an instant classic, great for sipping your favorite cocktails, maybe reading a good book, and a quiet night in or a party night out. Invite some friends over for a "dance party" or whatever it is you kids are doing these days, and enjoy the night...

There is one hard to find track of pure self pity called "I Can Not Hope For Anyone" that was also re-done by french pop singer/actress/astrologer by the name of Francoise Hardy, which was a French psychedelic version of the song...

The Men - Immaculada

Artist: The Men
Album: Immaculada
Release: 2010
Label: Self-Released

Tracklist:

1. Stranger Song
2. Problems/Burning Up
3. Grave Desecration
4. Madonna; The Star Of The Sea
5. Lazerus
6. Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition
7. Oh Yoko
8. Immaculada

When I first reviewed Brooklyn and Long Island's the Men (very poorly, I might add. I'm very embarrassed about that one...,) I had gotten them all wrong. From hearing just their debut 12", We Are The Men, and not seeing them live, I didn't really understand what the Men were going for. The 12", which still has two songs I listen to frequently ("Ailment" and "The Man",) was too short to fully represent the band and left me to stumble awkwardly through an uninformed write-up, not that I'm blaming the band for that or anything.

Through their consistently excellent live shows, to their split tape with Nomos, and now to their second LP, Immaculada, it's been made clear to me that the Men possess three talented songwriters who want to make songs in any vein they choose and refuse to be constrained by punk standards. On this new album, there's only one song "Problems/Burning Up" that resembles their older material, with the band branching out into territories of drone, shoegaze, post-punk, and even country-tinged rock.

This experimentation pays off in big ways, with many of these songs being excellent: the aforementioned punk rager is absolutely mean thanks to its "In My Eyes"-esque parts and imposing vocalist, Chris. "Lazarus" is another favorite of mine and the song comes off sounding like a My Bloody Valentine b-side. The main drummer, Mark, sings on "Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition," which is excellent, twangy pop, and, for the second release of theirs, Mark may have chalked up my favorite song. The repetitious title track ebbs and flows with guitar lines that sound kinda like Stereolab and other, general guitar freakouts (a staple of their live show) courtesy of Nick. Lastly, for some weird reason, I was convinced "Madonna; The Star Of The Sea" would sound like a Zwan song due to the title, but this instrumental stands as the most beautiful moment on the album.

However, there are always drawbacks to diversifying one's sound to this extent. On the black metal "Grave Desecration," the band has spread itself too thin and can't quite capture the feeling of the genre. Still, if we are looking at this through a Brooklyn-lens, at least it's not Liturgy! Band sucks. Still, having seven of the eight songs on your LP be really great is something not many bands can claim to have accomplished.

With three prolific and consistently excellent songwriters, the Men are not to be contained. They've already recorded their third LP and there's no evidence that this band will slow things down anytime soon. Be sure to pick this up from the band, who self-released it, ASAP, as the copies are flying out the door and probably won't be around for much longer.

I'm terribly sorry for the untimeliness of this post. It has been just over a week since the Wasteland played it's swan-song show at the venerable Flywheel in Easthampton, MA. Stories and pictures describe an event fit for even the most hardened of mosh warriors. A good time for all. Despite the high energy this show is rumored to have contained, I think it went off without a hitch and most importantly without the band's accident prone singer injuring himself. I had made plans for weeks to go to this but ultimately ended up driving in the other direction. Member's of the band requested that I post this offering for suspecting and unsuspecting hardcore nerds alike.

Wasteland caught the hardcore world at an unlikely time. At the peak of a thrash revival in New England, Wasteland emerged bearing the cross of heavy, devastating, sometimes melodic crust/hardcore. Their songs are sometimes fast, sometimes punishingly slow. All of them are worthy of a listen. Therrien (whom I think was the primary songwriter? ) was very good at writing "parts". Each song has successful transitions, is dynamic, gritty and hard. What made Wasteland noticeable in a sea of wanna' be crust whiners is their dirtiness. Ultimately, Wasteland is best characterized as a literately leftist , melodic hardcore band. They share with contemporary crust music politically edgy lyrics (but so much better than your Tragedy-styled clone band). What they have that makes them better is a dirty sound that makes them actually worthy of being called "punk" contra "myspace crust"*. Each of these records sounds scaldingly raw. "River", "Define Irony", "Marching As To War", and "Fading Light" are some of my favorite songs.

So get on it you life-style anarchist morons! Learn something!

Whirl - Demo CS

Artist: Whirl
Album: Demo
Release: 2010
Label: Self-Released

Tracklist:

1. Leave
2. Meaningless

Whirl is a shoegaze/dream pop band from somewhere in North California that has recently occupied a healthy amount of my listening space. To be honest, I slept on this band for awhile because of their name. It's not inherently bad or anything like that, but I thought the name was too close to semi-gazers Whorl, whom I get very protective of, as they're a favorite of mine!

Anyway, my friend Sean convinced me that Whirl was actually really good and I finally checked them out only to discover that they were, in fact, really good. The first song, "Leave," is my favorite of the two tracks. It's got a Whirlpool-era Chapterhouse vibe in that it's ultra dreamy and, for lack of a better word, shimmering. It's really beautiful. The other song, "Meaningless," is way more frenetic and reminds me of some of the more aggressive Lush moments. Both of these songs are produced with a very muddy and distant lo-fi sound, which I think definitely benefits these recordings. All in all, I'm excited to hear what else this band does in the future.

The Normal - T.V.O.D./Warm Leatherette

Artist: The Normal
Album: T.V.O.D. / Warm Leatherette 7"
Release: 1978
Label: Mute

Tracklist:

1. T.V.O.D.
2. Warm Leatherette

In the UK in the late 70's, a rash of young upstart bands jump-started the DIY movement by releasing their records themselves instead of waiting for a record label to support them. The Buzzcocks, the Desperate Bicycles, and Scritti Politti, among other groups, self-released scrappy singles, creating buzz for their bands because their message was intertwined with their medium. With lists of itemized costs on inserts, DIY groups confronted their audience with a simple message: if we released a record, why haven't you yet? Daniel Miller, at the time a film editor who DJed on the side, took the DIY challenge to heart, kicking off his nascent label Mute Records with a double A-side single, "T.V.O.D./Warm Leatherette", under the name The Normal. Unlike most of his peers, who made their punk and post-punk sounds using traditional rock instruments, Miller used the rudimentary synthesizers and sequencers of the day to make ultra-minimalist, ultra-modern music. Shunning the progressive excesses of groups like Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd, The Normal was closer in spirit to Suicide - like Alan Vega and Martin Rev, Miller used the limitations of his equipment as inspiration.

Personally, I think "T.V.O.D." is the stronger track on this single. Miller's repetitive, detached lyrics have an intriguing television-as-narcotic metaphor: "I don't need a TV screen / I just stick the aerial into my skin / and let the signal run through my veins". "T.V.O.D." has a peppy scending keyboard melody that runs throughout, which possibly influenced monophonic cell phone ringtones from 1998. It ends with a piercing high-pitched tone that on first listen could be mistaken for a locked groove.

"Warm Leatherette" is the more well-known of the two tracks, thanks largely to covers by Grace Jones and Trent Reznor, among others. Inspired by JG Ballard's classic novel Crash, "Warm Leatherette" features Miller sternly intoning the song's title over a hissing/squelching synth loop and primitive drum machine beat, probably set to "Foxtrot" or some other normally useless pattern. Like Crash, the lyrics juxtapose violent car crashes with sexuality, as the "warm leatherette / melts on your burning flesh," and "the hand brake / penetrates your thigh".

This 7" was Miller's only release as The Normal. A collaboration with fellow Mute artist Robert Rental, Live at West Runton Pavilion, was released on Rough Trade as a one-sided 12" collaboration. In addition to running Mute, Miller also engineered some of the hottest post-punk and synthpop acts of their day, including Mute signees Depeche Mode and Erasure, and released a conceptual new wave record as the Silicon Teens, featuring 50's rock and roll songs done in a synthpop style.

This is my personal rip of this record - another rip that's floating around has some nasty surface noise, and this one is pretty clean considering the record's over 30 years old. Thousands of copies of this record were pressed and are floating around, and you should be able to score one for less than the cost of a t-shirt made out of a trash bag if you keep your eyes out. At the very least, this record is worth a listen, as a wide swath of the spectrum of "electronic music" owes a debt to The Normal.

Twin Stumps - Seedbed

Artist: Twin Stumps
Album: Seedbed
Release: 2010
Label: Fan Death

Tracklist:

1. Landlord
2. Missing Persons
3. Pigs At The Trough
4. Lungs
5. Child Republic
6. Drainage City
7. Business Class
8. Caged Emily
9. Pope's Nose
10. Body Plan
11. Lust Murder

From the opening guitar feedback to the militaristic, yet primal drums and crushing, fuzzed-out bass, "Landlord" makes it known that Twin Stumps' brand of sophisticated and misanthropic noise rock has reached new heights. This plodding opener is both the band's death march and introduction to what is a defining moment for the band, as well as a landmark release for Fan Death Records, Seedbed.

I know the band struggled to find a recording quality that fit with their sound, but they've found it with Ben Greenberg of Pygmy Shrews, who does an incredible job here. His job on their 12" on Dais, while excellent, was lacking in low-end. Things are evened out a little more on this release with the addition of a more prominent bass tone that is both heavy and filthy, all without sacrificing the piercing guitar tones.

Not only has Greenberg helped the band find their recording potential that was hinted at with the 12", but the band's songwriting has excelled, as well, and I can finally say that there is a definitive recording of my live favorite of theirs, "Missing Persons." Along with that song, "Landlords," "Lungs," and "Lust Murder" are among some of the choice cuts on this album, which, to date, is definitely their best material. Seedbed is recorded beautifully, written confidently, conceptualized and paced masterfully, and executed soundly.

This is the band and label-approved "leak" of the album, so be sure to pick up your copy of this LP from Fan Death. Trust me, you will want to, as Seedbed stands as the strongest release thus far for the Fan Death camp and, if there's any justice in this world, it will position Twin Stumps in the upper echelon of contemporary noise rock.

Rappers don't make albums worth listening to anymore. There is a banger here and there, but there are too many ringtone and club bangers to ever have a solid album (except Only Built For Cuban Linx 2). As of the last... well, a really long time, mixtapes are where the real hip-hop has been going down.

Ever since New York fell off the map, there have been glimpses of potential from several MCs, but they just end up wasting it by following the herd. Juelz drops a gem every once in a while (see "Beamer, Benz or Bently"). Cam'ron has always been hilarious and occasionally flows well (See "Killa Cam"). Jae Millz's mixtapes are fantastic, but he has yet to drop a real album. Nicki Minaj has the potential to be the best female rapper ever just because there has only been one good female rap album ever (Lil Kim's Hardcore).

Now, Fabolous has always had a good verse here and there, he just gets caught up in making songs for the ladies too often. That's the great thing about mixtapes, there are almost never pop rap tracks made for the stereotypical woman. Fab goes hard for twenty straight tracks. His wordplay is on-point and he delivers a LOLable line at least once per song. The only problem that I could see anyone having with this mixtape is a common problem with all mixtapes, where the parodying of the chorus from the original song is lame. But really, if you listen to hip-hop for choruses then you have no business listening to anything that isn't on the radio. Fuck off.

Highlights are "Roger That", Lloyd Banks' "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley," where Juelz Santana shines, and "I'm Raw" which is the best song Fabolous has ever done (As a vegan, that video offends me). DJ Drama has probably the funniest ad lib to a song that he will ever probably.

"No Barack Odrama for this one,
Call me Dram McCain...
Killing you niggas"

Sorry for the N word. It wouldn't have the same effect if I took it out.
