As some of you might know, the Autumn Defense is the side-project of petite Wilco bassist John Stirratt, and Preston School of Industry is the new project of the "other guy" in Pavement, Scott Kannberg, a.k.a. Spiral Stairs... so it was a night of second fiddles all around. So for the past few weeks I've been on a strict diet of post-rock (Gastr del Sol for breakfast, The Sea and Cake for tea), so it was really fun to go see a good straightforward pop/rock show... Unfortunately, the show was rather marred by an impressive display of two-facedness on the part of my soon-to-be-former friend Jane, who topped off months of irritating behavior by spending the whole time prior to the show whining about how Wilco suck now (y'know, 'cos they aren't alt-country anymore, boo-hoo), and the whole time after the show kissing John Stirratt's ass... but I won't dwell on it anymore. On with the review... I missed the first band, Clearlake, which was a shame as I'd heard they were good. The second band was The Court and Spark, named for the Joni Mitchell record... but they didn't sound like Joni Mitchell, they were a pretty laid-back and cool alt-country band from San Francisco with a nasally Jayhawks-esque lead singer... in my ongoing love-hate affair with alt-country, I finally decided that pretty much all alt-country bands sound the same, and are mainly distinguished by how skillful they are (in terms of songwriting) within the genre's many limitations, and these guys were quite skillful. I liked them. The Autumn Defense were next. It was John and his pal Pat "Whee, I'm in Wilco now, too!" Sansone (who has nice bushy eyebrows), and a skinny bassist and another guitarist and a drummer with Jim Morrison rock hair, which me and my friend Tim snickered about. There were also a couple of horn players (playing flugelhorn, trumpet, and baritone) who sat in on a few songs - John said, "We flew them in on a $99 deal on Southwest... thanks, Southwest." I find AD's recorded output rather bland, but I really enjoyed the live show... sunny and poppy and nice, with more of a rockin' edge than the albums. I think I may actually have to reconsider my opinion of the albums now that I've heard what they're capable of. Everyone sang harmonies, and the drummer chewed gum and blew bubbles while he played. The horns in particular were a great addition. They didn't do John's lone Wilco song "It's Just That Simple" or the Big Star cover I hear they've been doing at other shows, and it was a pretty short set since they were an opening band with so many other bands on the bill, but still worth the trip. After their set, I gave John a tinfoil Minotaur and asked for, and received, the opportunity to give him a kiss on the cheek. (To be more precise, it was one of those simultaneous mutual corner-of-the-mouth kisses. ) I also gave Pat a tinfoil Thoth and he seemed rather confused - partly, I think, because I knew who he was. PSOI were next, and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much... in fact, I was cringing at the thought of having to sit through a set of Pavement-style smug "irony" and was planning on leaving after a few songs... but I was very pleasantly surprised. They rocked! Not only did I stay through the whole set, I even danced my ass off... and being the lame indie-rocker that I am, I actually can't remember the last time I danced at a show. At first nobody danced except for two girls, one of whom was wearing a Wal-Mart employee name-tag - they enthusiastically got down and boogied up front, then coaxed everyone else up to the stage. I regretted my choice of small barrettes as my bangs kept getting in my face, but other than that, it was a hoot. I swear, Malkmus was just holding Spiral Stairs back... now he is free to kick ass. Malkmus wasn't there, by the way - I don't know if they had a huge falling-out or what - but I think I spotted Joanna Bolme, the Jicks' bassist, in the crowd. I bought a copy of PSOI's new album after the show from their shy guitarist, though I could ill afford it, accosted John again and hugged him and told him he ruled (I may be an ass-kisser, but I'm an honest ass-kisser), and left relatively happy.

Hey! How does that constitute "bad" late-night college radio? It sounds like exactly what my 17-year-old self hoped to hear as he tried to pull in the extremely weak signal of Stockton State College's WLFR. (Heck, it also beats what you're likely to hear on WHFS these days.) Give your 1987 self more credit, Gene! Although I don't know a whole lot of Flipper, I always liked their song "Ha Ha Ha," on one of the first punk albums I ever bought, the "Let Them Eat Jellybeans!" compilation (on jellybean-red vinyl). Ah, memories. The great thing about having a 40GB iPod is that if you're at work and you suddenly get an unexpected urge to listen to Black Flag and the Kennedys, they're right there waiting for you. - --Chris in a self-indulgent mood ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2004 10:56:00 -0600 From: "Eugene Hopstetter, Jr." Subject: Morrissey gets a job!
