    Holla! Holla! Holla!

    I'm still rather tired from yesterday's golf outing with No Doubt's Adrian Young, but I nonetheless wanted to post a bit for you. It was a real treat to meet Mr. Young; he definetly lived up to his reputation as a fun guy to be around. He pee'd twice on the fairway (literally) amd bummed a Heineken from an unsuspecting woman washing her patio just off the 4th hole. Fucking awesome. We bonded over an 18 pack of Michelobe that I pilfered from the Hospitality tent ( no beer on the course was the rule but honestly. Who says no to a rock star!) All in all a fun time was had by all of us ( I was with Adrian, comedian D.L. Hughley & Dwight "The Catch" Clark) and we bid adieu late in the afternoon with just enough time for me to haul ass to my folk's house for Passover dinner. Lucky for me I didn't get a speeding ticket. I was going that fast. So, in honour of my timely entrance at dinner, please enjoy Coldplay's new single "Speed of Sound":

  • Coldplay: Speed of Sound Promo Single

    Found some more gems from my past, couldn't help but share. For your listening (dis)pleasure:

    Epilogue: This was just sent to me. Sorry for being such a slacker.
    Finally available, an mp3 of Thom Yorke's solo performance of new track 'House of Cards'. This was recorded at Methodist Central Hall last Friday night. The sound quality is not that good and it's only a part of the full song, but this will give you a good idea of what the track sounds like. Apart from new song 'House of Cards', Thom played an old song as well last week. NME claimed that the name of the song is 'Glass Flowers'. Somehow, 'Last Flowers (til the Hospital)' would be a more logical title, since that song is actually known for being around for years now. So we're gonna stick with that one for now. Anyway, you want to hear them? Here they are:

  • Thom Yorke: House of Cards

  • Thom Yorke: Last Flowers (`til the Hospital)

    Back To The Old House




    Growing up, I spent a lot of time in my room listening to music. Even when I entered high school and my social circle expanded, I much prefered spending time with my favorite bands, and discovering new artists. During a phase that pretty much has continued on through the majority of adult life I've been enamored with music from the UK. Radiohead. Elvis Costello. Depeche Mode. The Cure. The Smiths. XTC. The Specials. The English Beat. I could go on forever. I was so into The Cure in high school, I even joined a "Cure" cover band. We were called Oed's Cat. "Oed" being "Ed," the older brother of our guitar player. The "O" came about after reading Oedipus Rex. God we were lame. One day after practice the guitar player and I were in a discussion about distinct playing styles and guitar tones and how important were they to the overall success of a band. I told you, were were lame. So I explained how much I loved Johnny Marr of The Smiths. What an amazing player. I remarked how I thought he had a "shimmery" sound. Like when the sun catches your eye and everything goes all haywire for a second. Shimmery. My friend didn't really like my analogy. He said the term couldn't be applied to guitar technique. "Shimmery? Sounds kinda artsy-fartsy to me." Years later, I met Johnny Marr when he was playing with Neil Finn and the tour stopped at 4th & B in San Diego. I told him the story. He laughed and told me that he had used the same term to describe his playing when The Smiths were first starting out in Manchester. And he basically got the same response that I did. Except that it came from the lead singer of his band. Morrissey. Go figure. Please enjoy today's Smith's/Morrissey influenced downloads courtesy of my man Benny:

    We Are The Brutal Kind

    I love it when everything kinda just randomly comes together. Just the other night I was in a discussion about how much I wish there were more programs on TV like the defunct Sessions At West 54th or the superb Austin City Limits.

    "I hear this place is restricted, Wang, so don't tell 'em you're Jewish, okay?"



    To set the record straight, I don't play golf. Hell, it's hard for me to watch the Master's highlight reel on Sportscenter. However there are times when exceptions shall be made. This is such time. The lovely Mrs. Vicar has a co-worker whose husband is coordinating the upcoming Stan Humpries celebrity Golf Tournament here in beautiful San Diego, (www.stanhumphries.com) and mentioned that some volunteers were needed to escort the celebrities around the course and make sure all of their whims are taken care of. I offered my assistance and guess who I've been paired up with? None other than Mr. Adrian Young, drummer extrodinaire for No Doubt! I know! Being a drummer myself I am beside myself with geekdom glee! A whole 18 holes to spend picking his brain about every drum related nuance I can think of. But the best part is that we get attend the cocktail party/dinner afterwards with all the celebrities. Free food! Free booze! Maybe Adrian & I will get absolutely schlammered together, bond over our shared propensity for mowhawks and thongs, and then maybe he'll ask me to be his drum tech on No Doubt's next worldwide tour. Sure, sure. A rabid music can always dream, can't he?

    Mix CD Exchange

    Ok kids, who wants to try something fun? Here's the deal: I love making mix cd's for people. All kinds. Sometimes I feel like I can express myself better through other's songs than with my own words. I know some of you out there can attest to that. So, will I be arriving at a point soon? You bet. I like trading mixes with others to see how their minds work. I find it fascinating. Like John Cusak said in "High Fidelity": "It's not about who you are but about what music you listen to." Or something like that. So, I will post tracklistings for mixes I've made. If you like the looks of it, email me your address and I'll send a copy off to you. But you've got to send me one in return. K? K! Est vous prete? Commence!

    I Like It

    Do any of you know how much of a hip hop head I am? Well you should. Next to Radiohead, Neil Finn, & Elvis Costello I love me some hip hop.

    I first heard of Souls of Mischief when they opened for A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul in San Diego circa 1993. What a crazy show. I'm not too keen on many live rap shows though. MC's end up screaming more than rhyming, but these 3 acts absolutely ripped up the stage. I think I even went out and bought "93 til Infinity" by S.O.M. that night. Anyway, I came across this great track that was released before their debut album came out. Over a tight James Brown sample, Opio, Phesto, Tajai, and Casual committ to tape some great verse. Please enjoy:

    Souls of Mischief "Cabfare"

    (via Cocaine Blunts )

    The lovely Cellophanegirl at Me You, We Two graciously posted another new Spoon track:

    Spoon - The Two Sides Of Monsieur Valentine

    Has anyone ever heard of New Zeland's Hunters & Collectors? Of course you haven't. They put out several mediocre albums before finally calling it quits a while back. But buried within their 2nd album was one gem of a pop song entitled "Throw Your Arms Around Me." Absolutely fucking kills me everytime I listen to it. Neil Finn's cover version is my personal favorite, but check out this rendition by Ben Harper & Eddie Vedder:

    Ben Harper & Eddie Vedder - Throw Your Arms Around Me

    For your listening (dis)pleasure:

    The Eels - P.S. You Rock My World
    Elliot Smith - Everything Reminds Me Of Her

    and lastly, `cause my favorite friend Keira really, really, REALLY digs this song:

    Moby - I Like It

    Don't Change For You. Don't Change A Thing For Me.

    I once got in a discussion with someone whose musical opinion I very much respect about who was the bigger loss: Kurdt Cobain or Michael Hutchence. We talked about it forever, she said Michael, while I said Kurdt. It's been some time since this topic took up residence & rattled around in my cavernous mind, but after listening to the INXS concert I've linked to below, I think I might have to rethink my decision. That is, unless someone can send the most kick-ass Nirvana show around. Any takers?

    INXS - Classic Live at the Wireless 1982 (password: sth);
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11


    More tunes that even a wack-job would enjoy:

    Jellyfish - Bellybutton
    1 2 3 4 5 6

    (via Regnyouth )

    Some great tracks via the awesome Take Your Medicine :

    Supergrass - Seen the Light
    Radiohead - Bulletproof (i wish i was) Acoustic
    Animals - House of the Rising Sun

    Lastly, one of the albums I linked to yesterday was "Silent Alarm" by Bloc Party. I finally listened to it in it's entirety last night. Wow. Can you say Gang of Four meets The Specials meets Wire meets The Jam circa 1978? I bet you can! Grab these tracks as a sampler, then purchase the album.

    01 - Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass.mp3
    06 - Bloc Party - She's Hearing Voices.mp3
    09 - Bloc Party - Price of Gas.mp3

    Why Not Start With Yourself!

    "I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with a piano." -- ELTON JOHN


    DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE are in Seattle mixing "Plans," their major-label debut. Due in September, the album will feature more of what made the indie rockers famous: melancholy love songs. "I was telling myself, 'I'm going to stop writing depressing songs,'" singer BEN GIBBARD told Rolling Stone. "I wrote a love song for my lady -- really sweet -- but then I played it for her and she was like, 'This song is fucking sad!' . . . I tried."



    The SHINS took a break from recording the follow-up to 2003's "Chutes Too Narrow" to launch a U.S. tour last night in Portland, Oregon. The indie rockers' increased profile, thanks to the "Garden State" soundtrack, will not cause them to speed up the recording process. "I want to get back to a slow, painstaking process of production," singer JAMES MERCER told Rolling Stone. "I suppose we should get it out right now, but it's probably good to let all those people forget about us."

    Once again, Regnyouth posts `em, & I pick thru `em. Enjoy:


    Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls Remixes
    Beck - Live & Weird

    Bravery vs. Bribery

    From www.popbitch.com:

    "The Bravery are the latest New York music press darlings, but in the industry in the States they are regarded somewhat differently. They're known to all as "The Bribery", as the band was as manufactured as N Sync, put together by Polydor on the back of the success of The Killers.
    (As we've reported before Sam, the singer, was a blond dreadlocked performer in an NYC ska band, until the stylist sorted him out with a quiff and rock star clothes.)"

    The Bravery - Swollen Summer
    The Bravery - Honest Mistake (Acoustic)

    (via Me You, We Two )

    I dunno, anyone else think that critique was a little harsh? I still totally prefer The Killers but have been digging some Bravery tracks for a couple of months now.

    Well then, let's compare & contrast:

    The Killers - Desperate
    The Killers - Andy Youre A Star.mp3
    The Killers - Midnight Show.mp3

    Anyone? Bueller? Frye?

    I'm Not Here. This Isn't Happening.

    A small piece of my adolesence just died:

    Director John Hughes has announced that classic '80s movie Pretty In Pink is to get a sequel.The teen film followed high school student Andie, who developed a crush on the school's new guy, while her friend Duckie, who secretly loves Andie, is forced to step aside. The sequel, which is planned for a 2006 release, will show fans what has changed for the characters now that their high school days are over. The movie's original stars - Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy and John Cryer - have all agreed to appear. (via Stereogum )
