Listened to this for the first time earlier this week after hearing NIN's head like a hole 3 times in a row on the Bar's jukebox and don't think there's any better context for an introduction to a song.

rip never forget

and some favorite songs of 2012 (so far)

here are just three of them:

(A Predictable) Favorites of 2012 so far...

Here are 5 albums that I've really liked this year and have put on repeat wherever I am. I've listened to more dance music than usual this year and this short list reflects that. I used to listen to a lot of IDM in high school, and a lot of bands now are returning to that grimey, cerebral, nostalgic mood-creating, and alienating brand of electronic music, while at the same time, doing very cool things with it. But besides that, no surprises.




Blues Control - Valley Tangents - Drag City
My friend Mikhael once described Blues Control as sounding like the very notion of playing music three rooms away. Against and reinforcing this paradoxical ascription, Valley Tangents features a more polished, dynamic, and thoughtful sound that only penetrates yet supports the felt walls that had distinguished their unique emotionally engaging psych jam band ethos. As a result, the album is more intimate and deeply accessible in a good way.



Motion Sickness Of Time Travel - S/T - Spectrum Spools
Formally, this album is intimidating: four songs of length 20+ minutes, but listening to the album you forget the partitions and get lost in a Neu-agey celestial quasi-post-temporal experience distinctive of an 800%-slowed-down generation that is arguably punk.



Daughn Gibson - All Hell - White Denim
Mixing elements of Scott Walker's vocal performance, a heart-melting baritone, heavy 'country' thematic and sonic overtones, and familiar electronic-techno production, Daughn Gibson comes up with an original brand of hunk-pop that is refreshing and endlessly replayable.



Death Grips - Money Store - Epic
Violent, visceral, unrestrained hit after hit.


Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland - Black Is Beautiful - Hyperdub
My favorite album of the year so far, but then again, I am partial to everything Hype Williams related. In the proper sense, this is definitely an 'album', featuring half-pop songs separated by sub 1-minute half-dubbed-out grooves that make sense only within the context of the collective body of songs. Interviews with John Maus focus on the empowering and retaliative possibilites in playing with pop music and its conventions. But Maus' sentiments often sound pretty hopeful. To me, the duo are interesting because they seem to have the knack for expressing the mystery of pop and dance music in such an appealing and liberating way. It expresses a technological-social environment that is always changing and is never predictable. Why pop and dance music is engaging in its infinite regress of smoke-screens and references makes it impossible to pin-point down in terms of its exact retaliative or social causes and effects. It's a sneaky and unclear thing. This maybe nihilistic message and skepticism about other quasi-theorisms about music is hinted at throughout Black Is Beautiful in a way that is effective and undeniably sublime.

Stephen Steinbrink - I Drew A Picture - Self-released
D'Eon - LP - Hippos In Tanks

Hype Williams/Gatekeeper/Body Guard (James Ferraro)/White Car @ the Echoplex

This was one weird show. None of the performers said a single word to the audience the whole time. James Ferraro decided to give up the lime-light to a lime-green kawasaki motorcycle (interpretive dancer friendly and encouraged and actualized). Ferraro performed his new song rain, which sounds amazing.

Technically, only Inga Copeland played as the other half of Hype Williams, Dean Blunt ran into trouble with LAPD. As replacements, two bodybuilders joined Copeland's short and mystifying 15-minute set of throbbing numb dread. The set ended with a tease of an incomprehensible version of rescue dawn (2/3?), which jarred to an end as Copeland left the stage. The audience, models, and echoplex personal shared a moment standing confused and anxious, not knowing how to react. I'm not sure if it's sad or funny or both that that moment was the only time where everyone together temporarily broke out of character.

blah

Totally ruling my life right now. Kate Bush especially, and the music video features a young Donald Sutherland playing Wilhelm Reich and Bush playing his son. Just the best.

Monotrona playing on the coolest kid's show around, Chic-A-Go-GO

“When you do stuff like this where you’re being kind of goofy anyway--if you don’t spread that goofiness, then you’ve failed.”

Another hot jam from Julee Cruise, a crucial aspect to the Twin Peaks OST, thereby making her a crucial aspect of Twin Peaks.

This song is off her 1989 album, Floating Into The Air, an almost cliche mix of pre-internet dark minimal out-of-place borderline art-pop that feels like someone's dream karaoke party meets small town prom without the obligatory 4 Non Blondes (for better or for worse). The album seems especially crucial for contextualizing more recent popular acts like Grimes, Grouper, Hype Williams and Sleep ∞ Over, who have been spinning Cruise's 'teenage dream'-residual-pop ethos in original and interesting ways.

As an attempt to stay 'posi' in light of fact that it is last president's day weekend before President Santorum assumes office, I played a 'high on life' song by 70's The Pop Group affiliated disco-punk band Maximum Joy song that my friend Thom recommended to me called stretch.



Anticipating the end of times is Everything Is Terrible, who are coming to UC Irvine, the preordained starting place of the apocalypse. Everything Is Terrible is a group of video archivist whose search for the bizarre, forgotten, antiquated, funny, and peripheral is never ending. On their upcoming tour, the group is presenting their own remake of Alejandro Jodorowsky's classic The Holy Mountain, which was made entirely of dog clips. Here is the tour page and an event facebook page with all the info.

Found a copy of Left Handed Dream by Ryuichi Sakamoto at the station. Before finding this, I really only knew him for his solo somber piano compositions and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, so it was surprising to find out that he made awesome Brian Eno-y glammy new wave in the 80's. He was quite the looker back in the day.



Another surprise I found this week was a track by Lil' Pocketknife, a now defunct and shortlived all-smiles disco-punk band which features members of LA posi-punk band KIT. Their only release is a split with BARR on Deathbomb Arc from 2004.
