Keller" Subject: S-K/Hersh Now that John Drummond and I have written our own versions of basically the same post...which is mostly to say that I agree with him, especially about "wavelength" bands (I have many myself) and about transformative music. Sure has happened to me a lot, and Sleater-Kinney is high on that list. Funny he should mention "Delicate Cutters"...I just got a copy of =In A Doghouse=, the Throwing Muses double CD that collects their first album and some other stuff, and since this is the first time I've had "Delicate Cutters" on CD (I've had tapes of various versions) I've been playing it a lot. It's a signature song, no mistake, one of the greatest she's ever written; just about ripped me to shreds when I was lucky enough to hear her perform it during her solo show at the Knitting Factory last year. I have to say though that it's one of those songs (like "Me and a Gun") that's impervious to an effective cover. One of the things I like best about it is the way its major-key "verses" are kind of a shaky facade which the minor-key "choruses" keep breaking through. Back to Sleater-Kinney: doug asks if it helps to think of their two guitar parts as "guitar" and "bass." I don't hear it that way. =Sometimes= it's the case that Tucker plays lowish and basic while Brownstein plays highish and busier; but sometimes it's more like lead-guitar and rhythm-guitar; sometimes it's two equal parts which weave through one another (as on "I'm Not Waiting," my fave of theirs). So I don't think a reparsing of the guitar parts on any one structural model is going to help someone hear what they're doing more clearly; though perhaps if they can think of the guitars as =separate= that might be enough. (Punk is a music where guitar(s)/bass tend to play as a single unit, and in this sense Sleater-Kinney is =not= punk.) And incidentally for me their lyrics are a non-issue in face of how the music overwhelms me. Generally good lyrics when they rise to the surface of my listening, but not a deal-breaker either way. (Sounds like Mr. Curry is listening to Kittywinder's =Scream of the Weak= fairly often. Must mean he likes it. Hope he'll be inspired to say something about it at some point.) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Mar 1999 09:46:55 -0500 (EST) From: "jeffrey c. burka" Subject: orton on the radio just did an aural double-take...when I heard "Stolen Car" pouring from the radio across the office.

While the Boie reworkings haven't worked well for me, it may be that I'm so attached to the previous (original and live) versions. For me, the most interesting things about the original versions are their structure and timbres, which are, by their natures, lost when Glass works with extracted melodic snippets and conventional orchestra. OTOH, I do try to see just about everything Glass is involved in (though I've missed MoG and the Cocteau operas). Even though, in most cases, IMNSHO, the music will not be the most interesting, he always gets involved with fascinating project, so his involvement is a good indicator that the other aspects of the show will be, at least, intriguing. A paraphrase from an interview I read with him: "My friends asked me why I always end up working with people who are smarter than I am. I said this wasn't necessarily a bad thing." I started laughing out loud in the Truman Show when I heard the Powaqqatsi excerpt and then saw Glass in the studio.

Hmmm... it might actually be worth it to tape some MTV and fast-forward to the videos that day. (Come to think of it, I can't recall the last time I saw a video on MTV, except for some incredibly inane show that had a bunch on people in a room watching them and talking over them about personal inanities.

Warning - I'm going to quote a LOT here, but I'll snip as much as I can. I just can't get rid of all this stuff. John fonted: >The elements they have just really >fit together, and if you're on a certain wavelength, it just totally >clicks and you start drooling all over yourself and the world stops >turning until you dare yourself to turn off your stereo... >It's because Tori is the perfection of a certain >wavelength, and if you're on that wavelength, good LORD, does it feel >good to know that somebody else is too... >but I think lots of us have those really...

You are SO right. I had never thought of my "deities" as "wavelength artists" before, but that's really what they are. I think I'm going to have to reclassify my "deities list" on my web page now in light of this ... it just makes so much SENSE. My "wavelength artists" would have to be: Veda Hille Tori Amos Susan McKeown Kate Bush Those are the folks whose music just seems so *right* when I'm listening to it ... as I commented to woj the other night, I bet when I'm 75 I'll still get full-body chills every time I hear Tori's "Honey". And when I'm sitting in a room watching Veda Hille or Susan McKeown perform I am 100% sure that if a brick were to fall on my head in the next five minutes, I'll die happy. But then there are other wavelengths too ... like Dar Williams, Richard Shindell and Susan Werner, whose songs I listen to and nod and say to myself, "Yes, that's EXACTLY how it is", but I don't get that resonance from the whole musical package, just from the lyrics, so I don't think I can honestly put them on the first list. Two years ago I would have listed Sarah McLachlan on this list, but since _Surfacing_ I've soured on her so much I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to _Fumbling Towards Ecstasy_ the same way again. And somehow I'm reluctant to claim that I could even remotely be on the same wavelength as Jane Siberry. The implications of that are just too frightening. :) >... and yes, that is able to be construed as a >favorites-list, and it pretty much is, though there are other artists >whom I would consider favorites whose work doesn't cave in my head and >make me want to stop being alive for fear of being unable to create >works as powerful as theirs... Yes. Like The Nields, who are by far my favorite band and will always have my undying devotion ... but I dunno, it's like they're too much fun to be a wavelength band. I think wavelengths are by their very nature serious things. >the point is that those specific >artists connect with one of my own personal demons or neuroses or >passions and just entice them and work them and exorcise them, so that >by the time I get finished listening to their CDs, I'm transformed in >some way... most artists can't transform anybody, but I think these >people can for me, and Happy obviously has for many many many of y'all >(I'm still working on appreciating her, give me some time), and Tori >and Veda and Sarah McLachlan and Jane Siberry and plenty of other >artists have for y'all... this is transformative music we're talking >about on here, this is the music that makes us different and hopefully >better people, and that is I think the point of Ecto overall, at least >in my mind: to talk about our own personal salvations.

It'll be interesting to see how/if the good stuff gets better distribution and promotion/marketing/word-of-mouth when the majors fall. Will people, without Britney Spears (sp?) blasting in their ears, be more able to hear Happy or Jane or the like, or will they find new ways to flock to a few culturally defined stars? Of course, I'd love to see all the Puff Daddy CDs evaporate and their listeners start listening to Comma :-) n.p. V/A In Memorian Gilles Deleuze n.r.

Good Evening, Everyone: There is a new player in the custom CD biz... http://www.cyber-songs.com/ ...and it specializes in Long Island indie music.
