"Whoooooo are you! Whoo-oo oo-oo!"
I really wanna know.
Some garagy muffin or another singing a song called "Five past 12" which is really excellent. I know it's from around Ann Arbor/Detroit or a band that played here in the last couple months, and it's not the High Strung.

Scratch Acid has announced a reunion. What does that mean? I dunno. Want some Killdozer?

Feel the Zeigeist!
The Knife are one of my favorite new pop bands, and on their latest album while the last track is credited to them, it's actually a band called Zeigeist. The song is F as in Knife. And I like it, but just try listening to it and then listening to Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.
Hopefully Ms. Bush's check is in the mail.

Gondolier: High C Idiot Note b/w New #11 (Makoto, date unknown)
The a side takes its title from a David Foster Wallace line, and is some fine emo, if I do say so. Petulant, minor key, chugging along... It actually sounds a lot like Crush, Kill, Destroy, who was also on Makoto, though they don't seem to share any members. The b side has even more of the CKD feeling, as it sounds like the bastard child of Slint and Nada Surf.

Slide Off Saturn: Alien Convention + Strap on Love Sheep b/w Pauline and Redeemer (Prozak & Tonic Records, date unknown)
While the a side is kind of boring '90s Melvins-ish rock, the b side is a sprawling Sonic Youthy wash of feedback and dreamy lyrics. Clocking in at 18:36, it's a little pinched sounding on the 7", but still a fantastic find. Pick it up if you see it, since it'll probably be in a cheap vinyl bin.

How'd you get here?
The best part about SiteMeter is reading the referrals. Some searches that have led you here:
"Fred Thomas"+"Big Ten Burrito" [FIRST RESULT!!]
with+child+fuck gives you Jansen's comment. I'm on the second page, five down. What the fuck could someone have been looking for?
Dave+Mason+Torrents. Not here, I'm afraid. Who's Dave Mason?
And the ABSOLUTE BEST SEARCH: are white folks inbred albinos?
Yes, yes they are. Thank you for letting me solve that for you.

I grabbed a bunch of random 7"s from the office, stuff we've had lying around forever, but since I'm the only one with a record player (what the fuck?), it falls to me to review it, so I'll be doing that off and on. These will probably be the only mentions on the entire internet of these albums...
Marlon Cherry: 970-Jack b/w Hope (Fang Records, 1996)
There are two notable things about 970-Jack and its b side: The first is how Marlon Cherry pretty well predicted the ongoing funk-rock hybrid that's still at least moderately popular today (311). The second thing is that even though it's a 33rpm 7", it sounds infintely better at 45 rpm, taking a fairly benign power funk ballad and turning it into an insane burner. Shame about the chipmunk vocals, but that's life.

Feisty!
To: The people who went to the Feist show at the Blind Pig on Tuesday
Re: The Feist show
Where the fuck are you people when any local band plays the Pig? You're all well-dressed, and obviously care about somewhat hip music.
Are you in Detroit? If so, I can understand that. I don't drive down there very often for shows, and I can't expect you to come out here. Especially when the weather is shitty.
But Jesus, the "shush" when she comes on? It's a fucking bar, you pansies. And gawd, what flouncers you are.
Her voice is good, I'll give you that. But the band is mediocre, the songs are boring, the lyrics are cliché (if they were just a little more emotionally cloying, I'd make a "foist" dig). The most interesting thing is the amount of DAT overdub to allow studio sounds into a minimal set.
But then she's hassling the audience! Fuck you, Feist, you have to earn the right to rag on us standing at the back. You can't just assume that because you've got a face that most male hipsters see when they come that you're at the level where you can berate your audience. Just because these sycophants enjoy it doesn't mean it's right.
It is like being in another world there, and all of the people in the audience seem like better looking versions of my friends. Or at least better looking versions of people at the Hard Lessons show. My straight friends would still probably fit in, even though they'd be the ugliest ones there.
(A jot in the notebook: Maybe I'll regret this someday, but it's more fun to write about people here than to listen to the music.)
And c'mon, Feist, "How are you doing, Ann Arbor?" Might as well "Cleveland, are you ready to rock?" And describing the opening musician as a "master of the low flow guitar solo"? DOes that mean he positively flushes with talent?
(Another jot: I think my girlfriend and I shouldn't get married because my last name is really long and her parents might give her shit if she doesn't take it. Man, that's a mental thought to have. God, it's hard to focus on the band.)
The last song proves that she really does do better with the big ensemble rhythm section behind her, though she veers into jam band territory. And she didn't even play my favorite song, the one that made me think she might be worth catching: Inside Out. (which is great, by the way).
Ah well.
Sincerely,
Josh

Curious about Arabic Music?
I am. Well, to some extent. I'd like to find weird psych or noise or rock stuff, which I know must be happening somewhere, but for the pop stuff: "Mazikana lets me delve in without the erm... trouble of buying anything. Relaxed view of the copyright, they take, dontchaknow. Sure, the webmaster'll probably get their hands cut off sometime soon, but what's that in the way of me getting new music for free?
Anyone out there wanna delve in and lemme know what's the best?

My favorite part of this missive, this (if I may be Donovan) Epistle from Dippy? "Compleat." It feels like I'm being flamed by Shakespeare.
After a terse 'Good luck with that, Ace,' and vague notions that A&R men love people who don't play out, I get back:

No way is this real
Michael Jackson's "Give Thanks to Allah (via here).
By the way, on the subject of the "via", I'm what you'd call Fake Jewery. Everyone assumes I'm of the chosen people, but I'm not really. So if any of you legit yids out there can tell me what the name of the page is, or even translate some, it seems to be a pretty decent mp3 blog...

It's elsewhere too...
From a leak on the ILM forums: Britney Spears and DFA.
The demo's rough, with Brit doin' some "la la love you" stuff over the crunchy DFA beat #5. Still, even as an artifact, it's pretty interesting. Give it a listen (it'll be gone in a flash, I'd imagine).
The word from the record company? "Too hip" in a rueful voice. The word from DFA? Brit didn't bring a thing to the sessions, and they usually work by listening to music with the artists they're producing. Spears knew nothing of the bands they were into, and didn't offer anything herself, so it's unlikely that this will get an official release or that DFA will do more work with her.

For both of you dear readers
I missed my deadline for Current in December, so I'd like to help you out with your four or so shopping days (Meijer is open even on Christmas Eve...) with a post on the other vestigial blog Ann Arbor/Ypsi Music.
I'll post my own list here, but it's gonna be mostly things I've discovered, not things that were released this year. Why? Because I say so.
(Oh, and the hold-up on putting out more of those giant dumps of mp3s is that I've run out of hard drive space to store the .zip files. If anyone wants to buy me a new computer, I'd gladly accept it...)

New Year, New Bands
Wrote my January column, featured Descent of the Holy Ghost Church, Canada, Woodward, Tyvek, and The Pantones
I thought about mentioning 9volt Hotel, but they're from Cleveland and don't seem to have much going on, and The Pizzazz, who I really like, but also have no shows coming up...
To the bands I did mention: GET THE FUCK OFF OF MYSPACE! AARRRRRG!

Just in time for Xmas
Aside from the silliness of yesterday's survey, it's time to get back to the whole point of this blog: Silly music.
Starting here, the idea of a Christmas sandwich sounds terrible.
Until you think "But what if the song was so weird an infectious that you couldn't turn away?"
From Metafilter's PinkStainlessTail, here comes the #1 Christmas hit with a bullet: Jingle Rock Bell.

Incest, incest, it's the best.
It starts here, or maybe here, and the hipsters try to get enough critical distance to tell who's who.
While some of the questions are good, they're lacking in very basic way: they're not actually hip. Oh, and they don't have a Sassy-esque grading scale.
So I'm here to add new questions, make it multiple choice, and ride herd.
1: Without looking it up, can you fill in the blanks in this sentence: “The Technology Center is on _______ between _______ and _______, but why are you going there? That place sucks now. Oh wait, I mean, it burned down.”
a. Liberty, Ashley and First
b. Washington, First and Third Ave.
c. Huron, Chapin and Fourth Ave.
(a: 0 points; b: 10 points; c: 5 points)
2. You’ve seen Davy Rothbart and [enter favorite member of Pas/cal here] at a bar, but you didn’t make a big deal out of it, right? After all, they’re just dudes hanging out.
For true hipster cred though, what's Davy's little brother's name, the one that's following him on tour with his band:
a. Robert
b. John
c. Peter
(a&b: 0 points. c: 10 points.)
3. Have you been in a photo, even in the background of a photo, published on the inside front page of the Ann Arbor Paper?
Take 10 points for yes, 0 points for no.
4. Did you consider opposing the couch ban to be being "politically active"?
Ten for yes, zero for no.
5. In the past six months, have you been to two Madison House shows? (anybody can luck into one).
Ten for yes, zero for no. Take an extra five if Jason Voss was playing.
6. In the past year, three Encore employees have been mentioned in the UK magazine WIRE. Take 10 points for each one you can name, and an extra five for their band name/alter-ego.
(Aaron Dillaway, Wolf Eyes; Fred Thomas, Saturday Looks Good To Me; Tadd Mullinix, Dabrye/James Cotton)
7. How much is a Deluxe Big Ten Burrito?
a. $3
b. $3.95
c. $4
(a&b: 0 points; c: 10 points.)
8. Dorky D has what?
a. An STD
b. A Promising Local Band
c. A Blog
(a: 10 points; b&c: 0 points. For a five point bonus— who's Dorky D?)
9: The Halfass is in what UM building?
a: West Quad
b: East Quad
c: The Michigan League
(a&c: 0 points. b: 10 points. Bonus five points if you know the real name for the Halfass or the group that puts on the shows there.)
10: Put these bands in order, based on number of current members (touring size):
From most to least
a: Nomo, Saturday Looks Good To Me, Funkelligence
b: Saturday Looks Good To Me, Nomo, Funktelligence
c: Nomo, Funktelligence, Saturday Looks Good To Me
(a: 10 points; b&c: 0 points. Funktelligence broke up.)
11: You get your coffee at—
a: Starbucks
b: Cafe Ambrosia
c: Espresso Royale
(a: 0; b: 10; c: 5)
12: Fred Thomas's label is—
a: Polyvinyl
b: Ypsilanti Records
c: Bomp
(a: 5; b: 10; c: 0)
13: "The 8-ball's all right, but it can never compare to":
a: Leopold Bros.
b: Bab's
c: The Del
(a: 5; b: 0; c: 10)
14: From North to South, the show houses ran:
a: Bad Idea, Totally Awesome, Madison House
b: Madison House, Totally Awesome, Bad Idea
c: Totally Awesome, Bad Idea, Madison House
(a: 5; b: 0, c: 10)
15: At Leopolds, you order:
a: Their top shelf gin, neat
b: A "Red Wing"
c: a Labatt
(a: 5, b: 10, c: 0)
16: The Kiwannis thrift store is open when?
a: Saturdays, 9am to noon
b: Saturdays and Sundays, 9am to 4pm
c: Weekdays from 9am to 5pm
(a: 10, b&c: 0)
Now, subtract 1 point for any of these things:
Going to Scorekeepers, Good Time Charlies, or Touchdown Cafe.
Remembering what the Necto used to be called (either name). If you can do that, you're too old to be hip.
Shopping in Nichol's Arcade (Henrietta's gone).
Can afford to eat at The Roadhouse.
Have ridden the Link but don't have a bus pass.
Subtract five for any of these things:
Going to Cafe Oz, Studio 4 or Live at PJs
Knowing who Todd Mundt is
Wearing new clothes.
Cheering when the Pig has a no smoking show (five points returned if you can name the last no smoking show at the Pig).
200-180: You're a hipster dreamboat. Your vintage clothing sparkles as you bat away advances from waifs and bloggers trying to chat you up.
179-150: You're almost there! You may not know everything hip to know about the town, but you can look down on jerks who make quizzes.
149-100: Ah, the vast unwashed middle. Time to affect a NY accent or start memorizing grafitti in the Fleetwood bathroom.
99-50: Where are you from? Charlevoix?
50-1: You're blessed. Leave now before you start posturing.
Below zero: Liar. You've looped yourself back into hipsterdom by denying it. Your ironic sorority/fraternity pose impresses no one, and your secret Death Cab collection is for naught.

9volt Haunted House
A Gift Freely Given is the type of noise that I like: atmospheric, spacey, and pretty warm. Imagine Lightning Bolt without the drums...
You can always buy their stuff here.
(Vaguely via here, as I fished around in their offsite links...)

Wölfbait!
Wölfbait's Broadsword is one of the finest metal experiences you can have, aside from their "Dawning of the Robot Age," which is unfortunately only on my work computer (and they've removed the link). So what should you do? Go to their site and buy their damn EP.
GRATE LOOKS GIRLS!
Well, so even though no one ever comments, I added that site meter thing to the page, and I can see where people are coming from. That was why I put the Google Ads on there in the first place (since I'm never gonna make any money off of them. I keep 'em because I get a perverse kick out of seeing that I've raised 2¢ in a month).
This week's top referring search has been "girls look grate," which has returned an entry I made on the spammy comments I was getting. It's the circle of life.
So, in order to bring in more mislead searchers, here's The Mau Mau's Sex Girls in Uniform.
A festive punk burner, Sex Girls In Uniform is the kind of thing that I enjoy, yet feel constrained about putting on mix tapes for people I don't know all that well. Kind of like DOA's Tits on the Beach. Ah, where is the misogyny of those early punk rockers? Bikini Killed, I'd imagine.
