Bought _In The Aeroplane_ over the weekend, used. I did so at a Disc Go Round store, where you can listen before you buy, and I'd just sold them some stuff. I muttered something to the clerk (who has very good taste) about "wonder what this'll be like..." He said, "probably just like that Olivia Tremor Control disc you just sold me, 'cause there's a lot of the same people involved." I hmphed and put NMH on. Yum. After getting a satisfactory sample, I told the fella, "you know what the difference is? PASTICHE." I liked the OTC disc (Dusk At Cubist Castle), but I ultimately had two problems with it: 1) a dire need for editing (and I LOVE too-long albums [like I love too-long posts and too-long sentences], so that's saying something). 2) it, like Apples In Stereo, felt too kitschy and pastiche-ridden. Like, "gee, we sure like records like that Pet Sounds, why don't we make one?" OTC at least did some neato synth-noodlage, but High Llamas do it better for my tastes. It just rang hollow, I was not convinced. Jeff Mangum convinces me. He sounds like he's connected to the songs and vice versa. In fact, more than connection, it's that sense that the songs are, for lack of a better term, "soul-spew." Not soul music that makes you want to spew. Just the direct oozings from somebody's brain, mouth and fingers, barely (if at all) edited for others' listening, but rife with sonic dressing whose randomness complements Jeff's. The otherworldly effect makes me think of Syd, Robyn, Kristin Hersh, Robert Wyatt, Vic Chesnutt, and Jeremy Enigk (I hear a vocal resemblance -- and with the orchestration, it's like _In The Aeroplane_ is the flip of _Return Of The Frog Queen_). So, for all the Fegs who've wondered why we talk about this band, I offer this. NMH doesn't sound like Robyn, but they *feel* like Robyn. They take us to a similar place, and it's fun there. Ta!

This is ingenious, but unfortunately untrue. Dimsie is in fact my favourite British girls' school story heroine, from a series of books by Dorita Fairlie Bruce. Dimsie Goes to School, Dimsie Moves Up, Dimsie Among the Prefects, Dimsie: Head Girl... incidentally, if anyone happens to have Dimsie Intervenes and Dimsie Carries On, I'd sell my soul to own them.

Okay. Two weeks ago, we saw Neutral Milk Hotel, and the two bands that opened for them were Elf Power and Of Montreal. Elf Power- despite having such a dumb name- ROCKED!! They were so good-- very tight, very interesting, and we even got a lil bit of Jeff onstage singing with them. I would love to get my hands on their CD, and I highly encourage anyone who likes NMH to check them out. However, Of Montreal was awful awful awful. They were weak, sloppy, and had few catchy tunes; we were just *dying* for them to get off the stage! In fact, ever since seeing them, they have been our yardstick for bands that suck; we've been saying, "oh that sucks, but not as bad as OF MONTREAL." (Or maybe, "On a scale of 1-10, I give them three OF MONTREALS"...) And I know this may be opening a whole can of worms, but they were also very UNATTRACTIVE. Now, of course, I don't expect everyone to be some kinda pretty Jon Bon Jovi or even have a handsome unabrow like my dear sweet Mr. Gallagher, but these guys kind of looked like they were purposely *cultivating* an ugly look. They were all wearing Brady-style dress shirts and ties, all of which seemed too small and looked as though they been slept in for a few days (I understand the whole "thrift store chic" style, but trust me, this was not it). And the haircuts?!?! Two words: "Rudy Giuliani". Need I say more? Like I said, I don't expect everyone to be attractive, and I don't even give a damn what they're wearing, but these guys were painful to look at, and I really think it affected the way the audience reacted to their set. Now I know that critiquing the way a band looks is shallow and all, and maybe I am shallow and all (eh, alright), but I think there is something about the way a band looks and acts that is important when you are seeing live music. I mean, there are certain things that are par for the course with rock&roll-- there is a certain mystique, a certain sexuality, a certain fashion that shines through. Right? I mean, this is undeniably part of the act, and an important part, isn't it? >"Of Montreal's new full length, "A Petite Tragedy", is finished!

If you can make beautiful things in the studio that can't be reproduced onstage, you have no business touring. Likewise, if making your music (however beautiful or ugly) requires you to be unwatchable, then you have no business asking folks to pay to watch you. > >"The bird who ate the rabbit's flower ep". > But on the other hand, how could I not like them with a title like > that?????

I had a similar experience at Starbucks about a year ago. My wife and I were standing in line for some froo-froo coffee drink on a friday night and we could barely make out the music. She said it sounded like Robyn Hitchcock. I told her she was nuts. Then I realized it was "Dwarfbeat" (of all songs). I think the guy at the counter said the music came from Seattle. Two songs later we heard Bells of Rhymney. We sat, sipped and listened for about 45 minutes. Every other song was Hitchcock...Heaven, Queen Elvis, Chinese Water Python and, well, I've forgotten the others but it was an odd assortment in random order from at least three different albums, and it was EVERY OTHER SONG! I think one may have been TMWIH so maybe you heard the same tape we did. you should've stayed awhile! Which Starbucks? mine was in Newark CA.
