If anyone in the bay area is interested, Medeski, Martin & Wood and the
Charlie Hunter Quartet are playing on the 21st.  Should be one hell of a
concert.

jack are new on too pure, they have one album out and an ep that has great
song on it called "wintercomessummer" that kind of reminds me of the fall-
it's got mark e. smith-esque speaking during the verse and then some
smithy (as in the smiths) la las for the chorus.

at times they remind me of moose- hence the band name... at other times i
think they get kind of cheesy...

Just a suggestion for anyone that could do anything about it: I am on
another list that has the "instructions" for unsubscribing appear as a
signature at the end of each digest....but of course this only works for
the people who get this in digest form!

I agree, lamb rocks.  I picked it up a few weeks ago (on fontana) and
didn't mention it here because I have been kind of out of it lately and
figured you'd all have it by now!:)  In fact, I remember seeing something
about them on this list a LOOOOOONNNGGGG time ago, and then I was of the
list all summer so I wasn't sure what was up.  ANYWAY....in my opionion
this is a truly original combination.  Louise has a totaly beautiful voice,
and although I am not really into the whole trip-hop/ jungle scene I like
the beats, etc. on this album.  I recommend it highly.  I am really
terrible at reviewing things, so I know this hasn't helped much, sorry!

Um, no offense, but trust us, you are.  I rented that movie twice, and
even though I couldn't make it all the way through either time (*yawn*),
I remember hearing at least two Michael Brook songs.  I wouldn't know

A statement by the guy who started the 'out-of-tune' controversy so I
can defuse this thread and hopefully stop seeing useless posts:

Joy Division with Ian Curtis on vocals, was THE most important link
between punk and the new wave movement and is THE progenerator of the
music all us 'scary dark death dorks' (a little joke...) talk about on
this list.  Ian was not out of tune, he was Ian.  "Love Will Tear Us
Apart", esp the fast version, is THE single reason all of you are on
this list talking today, whether you understand the history or not.
Also thank the Velvets, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and, BION,
Genesis of the late 70s early 80s.

MOOSE?!

i just realized that many might not have seen AP#99... so here's my review:

JACK
Pioneer Soundtracks

You are Jack. So many of your fellow British bands want to be romantic glampunk
mods or Beatles, so you decide to fall back on more esoteric influences. You
dust off a Walker Brothers album, dig out your Echo and the Bunnymen LPs, and
cock an ear to what the Tindersticks are doing. A smash single results,
catapulting you into the Next Big Thing limelight. Dispirited critics are
delighted to hear someone worshipping at the shrines of Saints McCullough and
Engel instead of at those of Saints Lennon and McCartney. They shower your
pedestrian efforts with ludicrous accolades, and you find yourself signed to
once-hot-as-a-griddlecake indie, Too Pure Records. Somehow you've roped
legendary producer, Peter Walsh, into shaping your pretentious drivel and
recruited a miniature chamber-orchestra of strings and keyboards. You release a
series of lackluster EPs, regurgitating the same tired ideas over and over. The
time for your debut album arrives, and you still haven't had another idea to
equal your initial 45rpm paean to Charles "Kid Stardust" Bukowski. You distract
attention from your maudlin lyrics and suspiciously Cave-ornous talk-singing by
smothering your inispid songs in schmaltzy violins and besotted histrionics.
Your second memorable moment, the hedonist anthem, "Wintercomessummer," is
crushed under eight exercises in empty dramatic posturing. Critics wise up to
your charade and realize what it is that Scott Walker/Engel has and that you
woefully lack: Talent. (Too Pure/American) [1] <--- outta '5', folks.

go and find  Scott Walker's flawed but INFINITELY better _Til The Band Comes In_
instead. MOOSE ?!?!?! bite yr tongue!

Subject: Stina Nordenstam - Dynamite


Bought Dynamite, the new Stina Nordenstam album, over a week ago.
Some other guy already posted a review, but there's always
room for an additional view isn't it?

The main difference between Dynamite, and Stina's 2 earlier albums is
that she has taken up playing the guitar. Her guitar climpering
is practically everywhere on the album. In addition there are some
string arrangements here and there.
This more or less makes up the soundscape on the album.
It's not as diverse as on her earlier albums, which I think is a
bit strange, as the 10 songs were recorded in no less than 5 different
locations.

Her guitar playing is neither good nor bad I guess. It's very sparse,
almost an ambient feeling to it (so don't expect any AC/DC riffs:-).
There are some weird and shrill sounds on it, though.
It's very little percussion on it, few jazz arrangements, but it's
more ambient and quiet.

The Stina Nordenstam "feeling" is still  there though; perfect for
sitting inside sipping tea, while the rain is pouring outside, and the
leaves are falling off the trees.
Her lyrics are still intact too. I think she has an exceptional talent,
of telling a whole story with only a few lines in her songs, but still
leave room for secrets and wondering.
She describes it best herself in "CQD":
"I finally fell in that black hole, between your sentences"

It seems like Stina has become a meaner Stina Nordenstam on "Dynamite".
The lyrics have several references to darkness, murder and killing.
The picture of Stina on the back of the CD, also hints that she claims
to get rid of the "nice little girl" image she might have got trapped in(?)
Either that, or she has been listening too much on Nick Cave's "Murder
Ballads". ;-)

The final verdict then:
I think I will play this record a lot. Her previous albums set ridiculously
high standards, though. And I prefer those albums to
"Dynamite". Although songs like the ending track, "Now that you're leaving",
and the title track, "Dynamite", is easily up there among here best
efforts. That said I think it's an album that may grow on me,
and anyhow it is much better than most music being released these days.

 They apparently pressed 10000 copies (or something similar), and have
 sold out - they didn't realise how many people were going to buy the
 things.  The box wasn't meant to be limited, and they are supposed to
 be making more, though there's a rumour going round that they can't
 find the master tapes any more.

 The Blue Aeroplanes, but Welsh and not half as good - or so I thought
 till I bought the album.  There's a lush, romantic, melodic side to
 Jack which the Aeroplanes don't have, and Anthony Reynolds can sing
 pretty well (unlike Gerard Langley).  Produced mainly by Peter Walsh,
 who has been responsible for Scott Walker's last couple of albums,
 and there are definite echoes of early SW - the glamourising of seedy
 twilight life, the overblown orchestrated bits which stay just on the
 right side of camp.  There have been four singles - "Kid Stardust"
 sold out on 7" only in the week of release (but both songs were on
 later releases too), and "Wintercomessummer", "White Jazz" and
 "Biography of a First Son" all have non-album songs.  I'm not at all
 sure about the Fall comparison - "Wintercomessummer" is Jack's most
 blatant Blue Aeroplanes rip-off, even down to the declaiming poetic
 style.  And like Langley, Reynolds is a pretentious idiot who talks a
 load of bollocks, but fronts a great band.

 Talking of Scott Walker, his fifth solo album "Til the Band Comes In"
 has been rereleased on CD in the UK in the last month or so, and is
 (mostly) superb - a suite of songs describing the inhabitants of a
 shabby boarding house, plus four or five dodgy covers (and one good
 one, "It's Over").  I had heard some of this album on the "Boy Child"
 compilation, and the rest of his self-penned numbers are every bit as
 good.  Some American company has just released a compilation taken
 from those five solo albums, see www.razorandtie.com for details.  If
 you like Julian Cope's early stuff (great new album, but he's firmly
 into hippy-kraut-pop nowadays), Marc Almond or (from what little I have
 heard) Brendan-from-Dead-Can-Dance's solo songs, you really should
 investigate Scott Walker - start with the early stuff though, not
 "Tilt" or "Climate of Hunter".

if yr still looking, you might want to try (calling or going, depending on
where you are in the world) Other Music in New York City...  they still have a s

Let's not get too far off track here.  We're talking about using
rock and roll in movies, not popular music.  Movies have been using
popular music since the very beginning.  Remember "The Jazz Singer"?

As for rock and roll, did Elvis make a ton of movies, or didn't he?
