David Bowie

Yesterday?s news.

I?m not talking about the man himself so much as his new track, his new album? A circle jerk publicity campaign that the old wave ate up and we?ve already moved on from. I mean how can someone who used to get it so right, who was on the bleeding edge, get it so wrong?

This is the guy who did Berlin/electronic before most people had a clue who Eno was and did the Bowie Bonds deal and now he signs with Sony and puts out a new album and the sycophantic press hypes it and drives those who care, who aren?t that many, hell there are only 29,359 views on Vevo as I write this, to the video which features a song so dirgey and so mediocre as to tarnish his entire legacy, if he hadn?t been doing that himself for decades.

How come these oldsters don?t get it? They made music that lasted forever, now they just want to play for a day. Employ the old school publicity paradigm on steroids which is ignored by everybody but the aforementioned sycophants who think we?re still living in 1974.

Bowie, want to get it right?

Do it the Mumford way.

FYI a new Hello=Fire album would be greater than a new QOSTA one :)

Not to me! But I hope you enjoy whoever that band is  ;D

hello=fire


    Dean Fertita - vocals, guitar, keyboard
    Brendan Benson - bass, vocals, guitar
    Michael Horrigan - drums
    Joey Castillo - drums
    Troy Van Leeuwen - bass
    Michael Shuman - bass, vocals

Dang! How I never heard of them!? I'll look them up immediately…

I'm a big fan of anything new that Brendon Benson is involved in let alone Dean, Joey, Troy and Mikey!

No I didn't listen to the new Bowie song because I figured it was awful.  And the Brian Eno comment is silly.  Because I am pretty sure millions of people knew who Eno was before he produced a few overrated bowie albums.  Eno's first solo album wasn't bad and has the song "Needles in the Camel's Eye" which is pretty good.  Plus he was in mutha f'in roxy music.  Both of the albums he played on were top 10 in the UK. 

Justin Timberlake  :o :o :o :o :o :o

"Suit and Tie", listen here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/justin-timberlakes-suit-and-tie-is-here-and-it

opening is weird, but give it ~20 seconds to settle into what i'd expect from the combo… then it peters out a bit.  jay-z cameo.  heavy R&B influence.

"Get ready to hear this song at every dance, prom, wedding reception, and miscellaneous formal event for the rest of your life."

I like it!

I am probably more excited for this release than any other at the moment.

Locke Ernstfrost & his Self-Portraits are coming out of retirement? for one night. Art Lord & the Self-Portraits played their first show on Valentine?s Day 2003, and exactly 10 years later they will play their only reunion show at Kings in Raleigh, NC on February 14, 2013.

In 2003, Locke Ernstfrost, the self-proclaimed ?Art Lord,? created four self-portraits which magically came to life to perform his songs for him (because no one else was good enough). The myth of Locke is quite the tale, but for now here?s some news on his band?s recordings.

On February 14, 2013, Friends Records will release a double LP retrospective compiling material from Art Lord & the Self-Portraits? four original albums, ?Searching for a Complement,? ?In Your Boombox,? ?Ideas For Housecrafts,? and ?Snail,? plus some live recordings from the band?s formative years. Each LP will come with a download code for all 4 original albums, 2 live shows, plus rare demo recordings.

While Friends Records has always focused on happenings within Baltimore?s city limits, it?s also important to understand how we got here. Two years before Future Islands made the move north at Dan Deacon?s invitation, Sam Herring, William Cashion, Gerrit Welmers, and Adam Beeby were Art Lord & the Self-Portraits. The band used to play frequently with Dan Deacon, including a two and a half week tour together not long before the band broke up and formed Future Islands.

Gotta say this new Yo La Tengo album is pretty boring… :-\

Suede - Bloodsports 3/18  (wonder if it will come in the US)

the new yeah yeah yeahs album out this spring being self-described as "extremely lo-fi" is a huge disappointment.

also that new mosquito song sucks.

I don't usually go for 'quirky' but this is really appealing right now. Kind of a halfway point between the first records by Futureheads and Battles with an early Peter Gabriel vibe.

everything everything… i'm invisible, i'm invisible… an eraser of love…  why dont you call me, i feel like flying in two…

Are you coming onto me?

it was an offer to drop acid.
