So apparently this is happening. I don’t think I understand what could possibly be going on here, but it has Leslie Nielsen in it so I assume it has to do with that franchise.

There is a World of Warcraft Visa. It produces game time for throwing money at things. Huh.

this post is also about the Joanna Newsom record

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:43:20 -0800

So between replaying the Milk-Eyed Mender (it turns out that the middle section is really quite good in spite of my total lack of patience for anything that happens there), Ys, and every Van Dyke Parks record I can get ahold of, I started reading up on the forthcoming Joanna Newsom album that was premiered this spring, was supposed to come out this fall, but didn’t, given that no record came out and “New record out fall 2008 on Drag City” became “TBA” and the fall tour is an Australian summer tour instead (with Jens Lekman and Robert Forster opening one of the dates, which will likely be pretty wonderful).

But the new Joanna Newsom record is apparently done, “more down to earth,” less string-heavy, and it “might be a triple album.” From anyone else I’d be pretty displeased with the idea of a triple album, but for some reason I’m really not bothered by this at all. Only being able to work in 7-10 minute song structures must be a nuisance for everyone involved, especially whoever ends up laying out the 3LP (6LP?) version, and whoever’s willing to spend however much a 3LP (6LP?) set costs new in 2010.

Melee Beats - “Excuse Me Part 2”

Nothing about this video makes any sense. Like the worst parts of 2007, without the heavy compression, as written by a fifth-grader fascinated by cocaine he is interested in but cannot get because he is ten and reading about electro on the internet.

this post is about wedding music nausea

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:35:40 -0800

My mate’s a wedding DJ, and he’s been given an indie setlist for this weekend. Which one is the best/ most weddingy?

I just don’t see any way that this could possibly be a good thing. Under what circumstances is it a good idea to play songs either from Etiquette or the of Montreal divorce record (or, for that matter, pretty much any Bright Eyes song ever and, realistically, at least another 70% of this list) at a wedding?

this post is about a dream terror rodeo

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:12:52 -0800

I slept for three hours last night; most of the time before that was squandered somehow. Every thirty minutes in those three hours, from what I can recall, I woke from the same dream in which I couldn’t stop bleeding out of my mouth. Around nine or so I actually did need to get up, but at that point I was terrified of moving for fear of getting blood all over everything around me. Good work, dreams!

Bill Callahan, “Lapse” (Chris Knox cover)

I ACCIDENTALLY FOUND ANOTHER NEW BILL CALLAHAN SONG. This is his fourth compilation track of the year. The tribute comp for Knox has an impressive roster and is coming out on Merge in Feb.

I wish that “Smog detective” was a viable career.

I know of the one on the Kath Bloom comp and now this. What are the other two?

Join the #guccicollective game on Twitter — M.I.A. has described her new album as a mix between Gucci Mane and Animal Collective, so me ‘n’ Alex O. (in italics) figured out what it would sound like (“deedly-dee-deedly-dee” dream-dissolve):

“Ice like BRRR, livin’ in an igloo, got adobe sluts I call my girls, who I did, too.”

“Who could win a rabbit, mane, who could win a chicken, who can slice it fatter, mane, call it finger-lickin’”

“Keep findin’ these rocks, you can call me a geologist, fuck with Gucci you gon’ need a proctologist.”

“Open up open up open up your throat, honey. Sucks that daddy’s gone, but brother Gucci gets that sports money.”

“Your girl on my dick like my Aston Martin ride, Gucci Mane’s peacebone adjusts her insides”

“You fuckin’ with a leaf house, I’m fuckin’ with a trap house, goofy motherfuckers too fruity like Mickey Mouse”

“Gucci dressed tight in those summertime clothes. Gettin’ sex so tight from them summertime hos.”

this post is about misc. illness

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:40:23 -0800

I don’t know what I’m sick with, but I woke up on Tuesday feeling something that resembled a brutal hangover minus the dehydration. I hadn’t been drinking, so I don’t think that was the issue, and whereas one usually gives way to a 3-5 hour turnaround, I was more or less bedridden and unable to maintain my balance for the better part of the day. Yesterday was the same, today I’m feeling well enough to, uh, not fall over when I get up. This is a plus.

I did, however, experience something of note: all music sounded absolutely awful for some reason. This may have something to do with the fact that that Owl City song is the #1 song in America, and it may somehow be tainting all of my listening, since every time I hear Owl City music I feel this weird, instinctive urge to mute it or turn it off that I’ve yet to understand. I’ve never experienced such an all-consuming urge to block out a specific musician before and I don’t really understand where it’s coming from or why it exists. But I wasn’t able to get through anything, really, without getting frustrated with it for some reason or another. I don’t know what to make of this.

The summary attached reads “This didn’t go so well.” That seems about right.

Saint Etienne - Spring (Foxbase Beta version)

So I was going to post the Air France remix of this last week, but it was bigger than 10MB. It’s also significantly sloppier than Richard X’s reworking, which I played at least three times today. More on this when I’m not recovering from air travel.
