Hey Paul, let’s have a ball!

Friday, February 16, 2007

Last.fm reveals that the Pixies have been towards the top of my playlist in recent months. This was a very long time coming.
Kurt Cobain had said to an interviewer c. 1992 that he was “basically trying to rip off the Pixies,” and that was the first I heard of the band. But I was 12 [...]

Halfway to a Threeway

Tuesday, May 9, 2006

Halfway to a Threeway - Jim O’Rourke
I used to have none
Now with you, I’ve got one
If I could get just one more
Then you know what you’re in for
You ain’t getting any sleep tonight
I hope that you girls don’t fight
And I hope that you won’t run away
’Cause I’m halfway to a threeway
I tried again and again
To [...]

All You Need Is a Shove

Thursday, April 27, 2006

This was recorded in 1966. The singer was 16 and the rest of the band members not much older.
And it’s more or less the perfect rock single.

You’ll Learn the Truth of What You Are!

Our Thetans are holding us down!
This is the best song ever. And so very educational.
Thetans! Thetans! Thetans! Thetans! Thetans! Woo!

Meat!

Saturday, April 1, 2006

For reason’s that I don’t understand, Scott Williams’s show last week was totally meat-obsessed. And it’s really good, too, especially the “tasty burger” collage towards the beginning. Catch it while it’s still up in MP3 (and the Realaudio’ll be around forever).
Also, there’s some neat Nintendo-based music. At least, it sounds that way.

My Heart’s Reflection

Sunday, March 19, 2006

This one reads well and sounds even better. It is the ultimate expression of love in modern pop music:
“My Heart’s Reflection”
Got something to say, some dumb bit
Something that I usually leave unsaid
It doesn’t come so easily, I guess that’s no surprise
I wanna see my heart’s reflection in your eyes
Let’s lock the door, hide the key
I’ll [...]

Working on Leavin’ the Livin

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

“In heaven, everything is fine.”
The “Lady in the Radiator Song” makes an appearance on Mdoest Mouse’s 2000 EP Building Nothing Out of Something. Track 5, “Working on Leavin’ the Livin’” incorporates the lyrics of David Lynch’s semi-famous composition, building a bleak and ridiculously repetitious song that makes Lynch’s 15-minute adaptation–mostly radiator hiss and static–from [...]
