Romy the Lonely/ Variations on a Theme

Archers Of Loaf

2012-03-01T08:21:00.003+11:00

They just reissued Vee Vee, probably my favourite Archers of Loaf record.
I didn't know that at the time, and even now, there's a 'Pavement or Archers- who's better?' /pick your side, in indy rock... I like both. (I guess I was 15 when these two bands were in their heyday. If I didn't see idea's been thrown around in zines, I certainly wasn't going to have such debates with my classmates at my private Jewish day school!)

Eric Bachmann has a harsher voice than Steve Malkmus. Harsh is good.
Here's 'Harnessed in Slum's, my favourite song off the record, and I couldn't not post 'Web in Front', from Icky Mettle, which also just got a re release. So good.

("All I ever wanted was to be your spine".... Wish I wrote those words)

CRUNT!

2012-02-26T16:29:00.002+11:00

I was typing a word and made a typo- Crunt! You can guess what word I was trying to type...
Anyways, a light bulb went off when i saw it- CRUNT- and I was like 'omg, what happened to the band Crunt? That Kat Bjelland was in with her former husband, and Russel Simmons on drums???'
I love the one (and only) record they put out...
One off projects are good. I don't mind things that start and end in the same breath. At least they happen...

LFO-LFO

2012-02-26T09:06:00.001+11:00

Classic.
Perfect use of a 303. Not too wah chripy. Good amount of acid :)

AUTHOR&PUNISHER!!!!

2012-02-25T19:39:00.001+11:00

Listening to this record 'AUTHOR & PUNISHER Drone Machines' and it clenches my claws like i'm about to pounce.
Frothy mouth.
Love! Holy woah.

3 jams to start your morning with toast:

2012-02-14T08:57:00.002+11:00

Sweet strawberry Jam (serve on thick wholemeal toast)

Marmalade served on sourdough

Apricot on rye

Dead Moon- Walking On My Grave

2012-01-27T07:39:00.002+11:00

Someone needs to reissue all the Dead Moon records.
next time I'm in Portland, I'll scout.
I remember when they came here in like 2005. Sick. I saw them about 4 times that tour.
So good

LL Cool (Grace) J(ones)

2011-12-29T14:04:00.002+11:00

Still one of my favourite LL Cool J jams.
So raunchy, still, to this day.
Hot stuff.
The sample comes from Grace Jones My Jamaican Guy, of coarse.
Great usage.

Had flashbacks of this jam
!

VIRGIN PRUNES- BABY TURNS BLUE

2011-12-05T12:32:00.002+11:00

An underrated Irish goth band from 1977.
If I die, I die..., phenomenal album.

The Softies- Hello Rain

2011-11-25T08:27:00.001+11:00

Soundtrack to a 16 year old heart falling in love...
Then being broken.

1996.

SATURDAY NIGHT

2011-11-19T20:49:00.002+11:00

I'm going to see HTRK tonight.
Just listening to this stuff (below), eating baked vegetables.
About to brew a dandelion tea.

FATIMA AL QADIRI

2011-11-10T09:02:00.003+11:00

I'm a big fan of this ladies work.
The E.P GENRE-SPECIFIC XPERIENCE came out today.
GET IT.
She also goes by the name Ashay. She started making music in Kuwait, when she was nine, in response to the trauma from being in a war torn city. She now lives in New York.

She speaks subtle politics through her song titles and videos. Her music is instrumental.

AMAZING

Possessed To Skate

2011-11-02T14:56:00.002+11:00

I skated hard when I was 16-17-18.
Then annoying grown up stuff made me stop.
I was good. I did mean kick flips and frontside flips.
I'm psyched to start skating again.
I'll be careful.
Eternally a teenage boy.

EGG RAID ON MOJO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-10-27T09:42:00.004+11:00

Some Old Bullshit= Best Beasties album for sure.
Then Paul's Boutique, then: Ill Communication, then Check Your head then Liscence to Ill then Hello Nasty.
Throw in Aglio E Olio in the middle of all of that or something, as an interlude.

OMG I'M FUCKING AMPED RIGHT NOW. I WANNA SMASH SOME SHIT UP OR SOMETHING.
WAAAAAAAAA

LUSCIOUS JACKSON + relates radness

2011-10-27T09:42:00.001+11:00

NOSTALGIA.
Luscious Jackson rocked my world and locked my jaw in '94. I got NATURAL INGREDIENTS on vinyl. Baby blue vinyl.
Do I need to go through the history?
Kate Schellenbach used to drum for the Beastie Boys in their very early incarnation, before Luscious Jackson.
Grand Royal released Natural Ingredients.
They formed in '91.
Luscious Jackson's biggest hit was definitely Naked Eye. ('97)
They broke up in 2000.
In 1996 Vivian Trimble and Jill Cunniff from the band recorded a record under the name Kostars. 'Klassics With a K' was a dreamy album with lots of little toy keyboards and acoustic guitars and pretty harmonies.
Schellenbach and Josephine Wiggs (bassist for The Breeders) were girlfriends and released a 7" called THE KIMS WE LOVE, under the name Ladies Who Lunch. It featured 2 covers- A Sonic Youth one (Bull in The heather) and a Pixies one (Gigantic).
A genius concept indeed.
Anyways, this is like a history class, or Herstory class rather.
This stuff was such a major influence on me. I owe some of my blood cells to all the songs/projects below. Or a thousand breaths...

Luscious Jackson- City Song

Ladies Who Lunch- Bull in The Heather

Kostars- Never So Lonely

NEW NAS!!!!!!!! NASTY!!!!!!!

2011-10-13T09:52:00.002+11:00

Nas sounds the best over these kind of beats. Minimal breaks. His flow has a mind of it's own.
Trajectory that treads from the mind to the heart to the lungs to the ether.
Respect to God's Son for always keeping true to himself. Nas never tries to bend his character to make it fit with the rap of the moment.
There's always complaints about how he's a bad beat selector, but can you imagine Nas raping over anything else but the beats he chooses? His essence and style shoot perfectly across his choices.
The King of Queens. Nas is in a borough of his own.

NittyScottMC-Auntie Maria's Crib

2011-10-13T09:41:00.001+11:00

sweet smooth flows. Salute to the 90's.
Like a blunted Butterfly.

OLIVE- you're not alone/CHICANE-Saltwater

2011-10-06T09:43:00.002+11:00

Love the chilled out jungle vibes of Olive's You're not Alone.
This song touches my heart.
There were so many songs of this ilk coming out in the late 90's.
Here are 2.

Cibo Matto- Beef Jerky

2011-10-01T11:27:00.002+10:00

Dont' mind some primal strips faux jerky.
Love Cibo Matto.
Their whole debut album Viva! La Women, was full of sweet jams. And every song title had an edible thing in it.
I heard they've been working on a new album. Yes!!!
They went on to form a side supergroup, Butter 08, with Russell Simins (Jon Spencer blues Explosion), Rick Lee (Skeleton Key) and Mike Mills. That was a pretty great album too.
Anyways...

new month, new Harmony Korine

2011-10-01T11:20:00.000+10:00

"Snowballs"

The Spinanes

2011-09-22T09:07:00.002+10:00

In 1996, I went to Israel with my high school.
It was a life changing trip in many, many ways.
The Spinanes 'Strand' came out that year and became a sound track to my movements.
Weird, to put the warm desert of the Holy Land and the Spinanes together, in one sentence and experience.
But something about it worked.
Rebecca gates voice sounds sun lit.

DON TRIP

2011-09-22T08:53:00.001+10:00

DON TRIP= TRUTH IN THE BOOTH.
poet.
All his video's are just him in the booth, one shot, one angle, one take, one good rapper.

LOVE LIFE

2011-09-14T13:48:00.002+10:00

I loved love life.
I saw them once in San francisco at the Hemlock Tavern. Only a circle of candles dimly lit the room.
'The Rose he lied by'' was one of my favourite records of 2000, when it came out. It was released on Troubleman Unlimited who were totally my favourite label of that era. They released the radest stuff of the late 20th, early 21st century (haha)
The entire record swept me off my broom stick.
Their second record 'Here Is Night, Brothers, Here the Birds Burn' came out on Jagjaguwar in 2002.
Here's the opening track: LISTEN LOUDLY
Do what it is says, become the song, listen loudly
Katrina Ford, who I always thought was a man, listening to the first LOve Life record, went on to form Celebration who are still around today

Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire

2011-09-14T09:36:00.002+10:00

So coolloquial.
Produced by EL-P, which is such a perfect coupling.
I'm psyched about this. Sparse simple dark head nod perfect amount of here now abstract sensibility.

Severed Heads- Dead Eyes Opened

2011-08-17T22:00:00.003+10:00

One of my favourite Australian groups. More of a group than a band.
Tape loops and synth soups.
slurp.

PAS DE DEUX-Lonely Guys

2011-08-17T21:56:00.001+10:00

"WE ARE SOCIALITES
WE ARE SO COMMERCIALIZED"

Pretty timeless words.
Preemptive strike!
This is from the early 80's, duh!
So great

NEW(S) WORLD ORDER

2011-07-21T11:54:00.000+10:00

Ministry's N.W.O
NOW!!!

Jhene Aiko "Stranger"

2011-07-16T10:28:00.001+10:00

My favourite RN'B song of the year thus far.
Soft and sexy.
mmmmmmm

DEATH GRIPS

2011-07-16T10:22:00.002+10:00

One of my favourite rappers out there at the moment.
Again, hip hop is so exciting again. So many gem jam joints going on in the genre.
It feels like an infinite hyperlink law of physics or something...
But I love the production/style/sonic aesthetic/consistency of this guy.
Zach Hill from the awesome band HELLA produced this record (Ex Military).
RAW AND CRUNCHY. Just like kale.

GUILLOTINE:

Takyon (Death Yon):

WYNARDTAGE- i am nOt YoUr GOD

2011-07-14T11:51:00.001+10:00

Been listening to EVIL MIND, the album which this song kneels in, all week long.
Perfect symbiosis of elements.
I love this stuff

BLEACHED-Think Of You

2011-07-14T11:47:00.001+10:00

Great jam
Ex Mika Miko member.
Glad those girls have post MM projects going on.

Art of Noise-Moments In Love

2011-07-06T12:42:00.001+10:00

Nothing noisy about this.
I think this might be one of my favourite love songs EVER.
TRUE ESSENCE.

ABSOLUTE BODY CONTROL

2011-06-22T09:30:00.001+10:00

Was listening to ABC a lot last week.
It's good music to listen to when you're on the train, looking across the wintery world.
They need to have free hot water taps on trains. B.Y.O tea.
This music does have a warmth to it, it's in the high hats.

It's a Fine Day

2011-06-22T09:26:00.001+10:00

CLASSIC
Opus III-It's a fine day
OPTIMISM could be a future genre?

beautiful beats. Same name different songs!!!

2011-06-08T09:25:00.002+10:00

My two favourite producers at the moment, Clams Casino and Jim Jonsin.
Love these beats soooooo much.
lush!!!!!!!
Both called motivation

(Lil B raps over this)

(Kelly Rowland sings over this, and to be honest I don't think it does the beat justice. Sorry to say)

WORD TO THE MATCHA

2011-05-31T23:28:00.002+10:00

Heaven! Especially+ mochi. But I'm not eating sugar at the moment.
Matcha brings me more joy than you could imagine.
Minimal. Matcha. mmmmmmm

CABARET VOLTAIRE

2011-05-31T23:25:00.002+10:00

Zombie Nation-Kernkraft 400

2011-05-14T10:08:00.001+10:00

This synth riff is as good as a Black Sabbath guitar one.

Salem remix Britney= sums up this week

2011-05-06T08:36:00.002+10:00

Dance until the world ends? Think yourself a new world. War aint a lazer show. kiss my apocalypse.

Nu Shooz- I Can't Wait

2011-05-04T08:42:00.002+10:00

This song seemed to follow me everywhere I went whilst I was over in the U.S
I didn't mind one bit. Guess it could follow me, Nu Shooz and all. My, what sweet little footsteps you got.

haunt me until things feel o.k

2011-05-04T08:32:00.002+10:00

GRIMES-Vanessa

Planningtorock-Doorway

(makes me wanna slow the fuck down and down the fuck slow)

Sisters of Mercy-A Rock And A Hard Place

2011-04-20T03:33:00.003+10:00

Oh man, FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS has been on repeat in my world, club momentum, for about a month now.
Sound track to my tour for sure. Listening to this whilst driving in the pitch black night, through the South, was everything I need in life.
Aesthetics are aural. Sonic simplicity to sail through life.

UNTER NULL-Destroy Me

2011-04-20T03:27:00.002+10:00

i'm in America listening to industrial goth electro. And a lot of german music.
i love everything about this.
makes me want to get out all the poetry I wrote when I was 15 and read them over intense, dramatic, fast, beautiful, harsh music.
Think I might do exactly that when I get home.

I'm on tour in the U.S
I noticed I didn't have any Betty Davis with me. ???????
Bad Romy.
Got to El Paso like 2 minutes ago and bought "Betty Davis"- Betty Davis straight away.
Need it for the drive across America! Duh!
It'll probably be the first record I put on my turntable when I return home.

HELL YEAH

2011-03-31T13:12:00.001+11:00

LORDS OF ACID "I SIT ON ACID"
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

GT KOMBUCHA- THE BEST!

2011-03-24T08:35:00.003+11:00

Trilogy GT Kombucha is the fairest of them all.
I'm maximising my mornings.
Probably my favourite thing about touring America.

R.I.P ELIZABETH TAYLOR

2011-03-24T08:30:00.001+11:00

STRINGS OF LIFE

2011-03-16T09:18:00.002+11:00

Oh boy. This took things to a new level.
I just love the beginning, the wavering strings. The seeming nonchelance, but it's so from the heart. Seems like this idea was just bubbling and bubbling and had to be freed, urgently.
Derrick May- father and genius.
My idea of euphoria.

ROLAND SH2

2011-03-16T09:13:00.005+11:00

I was in the studio last weekend.
My fingers danced around this baby.
Love it. Classic. It can stay at my HOUSE any day.
(I'm a good babysitter)

LONZINE WRIGHT- Stop The Taxi

2011-03-16T09:10:00.001+11:00

Apt for heading to nYC.
Inspiration for keeping things minimal and percussive.

Night of the Hunter

2011-03-07T21:56:00.003+11:00

Finally got around the watching this film tonight.
WOW.
So impressive.
The suspense got me chilled! Robert Mitchem, Shelley Winters and Lilian Gish star.
The 50's are still one of my favourite decades of Hollywood cinema.
Beware of the Preacher!

TWILIGHT ZONE: The Obsolete Man

2011-03-07T21:49:00.003+11:00

I am off to America in a couple of weeks.
I AM GETTING THE ENTIRE TWILIGHT ZONE SERIES ON DVD. Call it a future reward!
I am a huge, huge fan of the series. Rod Serling is a genius. His comments on war, society, government and racism via horror, drama, science fiction are still, uncannily, relevant today.
This is one of my favourite episodes....
The box set is probably better than any modern series you are watching today. Make the switch. GET IN THE ZONE!

Pebbles- Girlfriend

2011-03-02T17:36:00.002+11:00

CREEP "Days"

2011-02-08T18:12:00.001+11:00

Everything about this is intense and beautiful and amazing
Featuring the XX's Romy on vocals

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

2011-02-04T16:26:00.002+11:00

Saw BLACK SWAN for the second time last night.
I don't think I've seen a film capture the brutality of performance quite like it.
Thats' what it did for me.
Loved the homages, the hilarity, the sincerity, the transition.
I think many directors could have made this into a trashy single-white-female syndrome of a movie.
But it's all about the SELF.

ANGOSTURA BITTERS

2011-01-12T17:17:00.001+11:00

A little bit of bitters goes a long way.
A swig of this= instant swag.

Made from a secret formula using a unique blend of natural herbs and spices.
The 'secret' was developed in 1824 by Dr J.G.B Siegert, a Surgeon general in Simon Bolivar's army in Venezuela.
Some facts: 44% alcohol (the whole bottle). Woah!
It stains, so be careful when pouring
Apparently it's a great mosquito repellent! Bye Bye disgusting chemically gross Rid!
It tempers the acidity of citrus, for those of you who are sensitive to acid.
It's the bomb!!!!!!

PARTY GIRL

LIL B: Ellen Degeneres/I'm Miley Cyrus

2011-01-10T19:02:00.002+11:00

Probably not the best indication/ representation of Lil B's (the based god's) free association meditative rap. Though the style and minimalism is a constant, like in all of his other work. I love how slow and exposed this stuff is. This is a funnier example of his flow and being, but the guy can get deep. Real deep. It's truth music.
You might know him fro the group 'The Pack'.
Another interesting thing going on in the sub atomic world of rap. So many veins running through hip hop right now, it's exciting.

sweeter than sweet, kudos, gloria

TWIN SHADOW- CASTLES IN THE SNOW

2010-12-30T10:08:00.003+11:00

I'm always sooo late to like some, and I mean some, current trendoid music.
I really like this song.
"You're my favourite daydream/I'm your famous nightmare"= great way to start a song.
Probably the last thing I'll hear and like in 2010.

SALUTE!

2010-12-30T10:07:00.000+11:00

Perhaps theee Rap song of 2010?

2010-12-29T14:04:00.003+11:00

Just got re-reminded about this song.
Absolutely love the synth line, which is why Felix Da Housecat's version is so good.
I couldn't find that one, so substituted it with GLITZ ROCK which is off the totally flawless record. KITTENZ AND THEE GLITZ
It is a perfect 10/10 record. One of my favourite house records of all times. The roof is on fire!!!!

Rest In Power Magnolia Shorty

2010-12-22T10:26:00.002+11:00

"Early Monday morning 28 year-old New Orleans rapper Magnolia Shorty, born Renetta Lowe, was shot multiple times. She was found by police on the city’s east side alongside a man, inside of a crashed car. Shorty became a part of Cash Money Records in the early ’90s after members of the Hot Boys who she had played with as kids in the Magnolia Projects brought her around Baby and Ronald “Slim” Williams. She was given her name by rapper Magnolia Slim, now also deceased.

CRANES -Everywhere

2010-12-22T10:20:00.003+11:00

I've always loved this song and this band. Just dusted off a copy that friend once burned me like 10 years ago. I need to buy the physical copy, because it's totally worth it and I need it visible in my collection. It would sit next to the Cocteau Twins. Maybe at night, I'd hear them have sing-alongs, and then I could finally get some sleep.
Very beautiful stuff.

More HOUSE OF LADOSHA

I'm obsessed. Can't get enough.

Joker- TRON

2010-12-14T17:58:00.002+11:00

Tron the Legacy is coming out this week (not really my thang. Though, I'm still yet to experience a 3-D movie. maybe this should be my first?), so I thought this would be an appropriate post.
Joker, king of grimey, wobbly, dirty dubstep, never disappoints. The man see's music in purple!
This is Megatron 3-D bass for your speakers. Be Careful, some hands might actually pop out, grab you by the ears and smash your face through the screen.

BEST HOT SAUCE IN THE WORLD.

Perfect amount of heat and smoke. Tap some tap into your trap!

RAOOUL-Jail Bait Core (The Dan Song)

2010-12-09T14:12:00.003+11:00

This is from the RAOOUL/SKINNED TEEN split Jail-Bait Core/Bazooka Smooth LP from 1993.

I got my very own limited copy when i was 14, the same age as these girls were when they made this master blaster. It freaked the fuck out of me. I was, and still am, jealous that I never made this record. Wah. It screams like a dear diary, or, rather a fuck you diary.
If you like this song, check out the rest of the record on you tube. The songs range from 49 seconds to a minute-and-a-half.

"Love Happens" by Valerie Long

Lisa Crystal Carver/Roller Derby/Suck Dog

2010-12-01T21:30:00.004+11:00

Roller Derby was one of my favourite zine's growing up. A bit intense for a 15 year old, but i was drawn into Lisa's world. I used to wish I could see her performance art group Suck Dog. A bit intense I know. Lisa is an intense survivor of intense. Read Drugs Are Nice and go figure. I was re-skimming through the Roller Derby anthology tonight, and it is still intense, even for a 30 year old.

My Wedding Song

2010-11-25T00:08:00.004+11:00

Honey, I love you already. Now let's get married. And, this is my wedding song. You can have your own, and maybe we can mix our two songs together, but not mash them, mix them, and then eat cake.
I love you honey. Come to me now.
xr
And I'm sorry honey, that this is a picture of a bat, so just close your eyes, and imagine us together forever now...1,2,3,4.
I love you baby. Whoever you are.

Remember John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)

2010-11-25T00:02:00.002+11:00

I think all rhetoric and hypothetical thinking may stem from this incident. What would the world be like if things grew organically, without assassinations, if the people actually got to support and praise, and if speech were free, without price tags on heads.
Just saying, remember.

Warpaint-Undertow

2010-11-05T09:59:00.001+11:00

This song feels like I'm playing a tennis, and this is the person on my receiving end's anthem.
It's really beautiful.

Diamond, “Shots Fired” MP3 + Getting Your Car Repo’d then Returned

I triangle DIAMOND (relatively speaking, triangles are the hearts, like diamonds are love)
One of the princesses of crunk rapping over Lauren and Eminem- nice appropriation of princesses-ness, I mean Diamond.
I think Diamond is hot. And Princess too. Crime Mobess

Introducing OFWGKTA: Earl

2010-10-21T09:50:00.003+11:00

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All are a 10-deep hip-hop collective. All of them are under 18. They are artists/producers/rappers/video makers etc.
Their stuff is dark, they spit psychosis. Deranged flows. Mean mouths.
They do everything themselves in a bleak, cold way.
I hope they support each other emotionally cz these kids have weird things going on in their minds.
Meet Earl. This rhyme is siiiiiick, in a bevy of ways, all mashed into a blender and spat out to twist your brain.
They embody the internet generation in so many ways.
I'll post more about the others in a tick.
CRAZY

There is something so good about this...

2010-10-21T09:44:00.002+11:00

Melody... this everything!
Relating, and rhyming an open door with an open sore.

HUNGRY FOR THE POWER

2010-10-14T10:28:00.002+11:00

Azari&iii. HELLOOOOO.
Some of my favourite production out there at the moment.
The E.P is great, full of current nostalgia. Perfectly paced B.P.M's and sounds to match.
Peep the video below....DARK, but balances the light cloudy chords. And I love the demon voice vs the classic house phrase sing song.
I think this could be yin-yang music.

JEAN GENET

2010-10-07T12:48:00.003+11:00

Possibly my favourite writer of all time
Reading 'The Lady of The Flowers' at the moment. 'The Thiefs Journal' is a must read. There is none other than him.

ALL ABOARD THE K.L.F TRIP

2010-10-07T12:41:00.003+11:00

Ok, I banned myself from buying music on ebay a few years ago. Those rare MALARIA! 12's and albums were setting me back some gelt. Not to mention the super pricey, rare French Legions Black Metal was painting corpse paint all over my wallet.
Today, however, I splurged out on some rare K.L.F records and 12". This stuff is hard to get now. I just had to. It's justified (and ancient!!)
These guys are total trippers, their philosophy is awesome (I will write a rant on it some time soon) and their music is pure energy.
Wherever Trancentral is, I wanna go there, NOW
Oh and if anyone knows where to get a copy of their Ambient record, please let me know. It's bliss and it saved my life once (another rant, for another time)

Rusko feat. Amber Coffman "Hold On"

2010-10-04T14:18:00.002+11:00

I really like the Rusko album that came out earlier this year.
This is my favourite track off the album: HOLD ON f/ Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors.
This collaboration works really well
Check the album, it's called O.M.G

VINTAGE ALBUM OF THE WEEK= REDD KROSS 'BORN INNOCENT'

2010-10-04T13:54:00.002+11:00

Been lamenting on this big time. Such a great album. Brash and bratty.
From 1982, this is the band's best bashing for sure. Full of pop culture obsessions, and covers Charles Manson's "Cease to Exist".

BURN OUT

Katy B. & Benga

2010-10-04T13:43:00.001+11:00

Such great stuff coming out of the U.K at the moment. This track is an indication of that.
Catchy with big bass. Winning combination!

POLVO- THERMAL TREASURE

2010-09-03T23:15:00.002+10:00

Sorry, don't know how to post songs without going to youtube.

But this album really smashed my being. It was the first record, meaning literal piece of wax, that I ruined. I took it away with me, on a family vacation, and it melted in the sun. Meaning I NEGLECTED IT. And now I'm in therapy and miserable.

Own this album or be sad. Simple.
