Devendra's 'surprise' guest...

2007-09-24T17:22:00.000-05:00

Tomorrow is the release date for the latest from freak-folk artist Devendra Banhart. Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon will be released by XL Recordings in a regular jewel-case edition and a limited edition digipak with bonus artwork and a booklet (though I've yet to see this booklet to see if it's worth the extra scratch).
Last week I caught Banhart at the First Avenue in Minneapolis. He played a fantastic show that lasted nearly two hours and featured material from his previous releases and many of the songs from the new album. Backed by a five-piece band, and calling themselves Spiritual Boner, Banhart and co. were particularly impressive on "Shabop Shalom" and "Freely" - two of my favourites from Smokey, but perhaps the most impressive song of the night came from a 'surprise' guest.
I'm using quotation marks there because I'm still not convinced what happened was as spontaneous and capricious as Banhart would have the audience believe. About three-quarters of the way through the show, Banhart asked if anyone in the audience had written any songs lately and a few people put up their hands, including a woman a couple people back from the front. He then asked her to come up on stage and play a song - giving her his guitar, stool and mic to do so.
The woman said she had driven from Cleveland to attend the show and proceeded to sing a song called "The Moon and I," which can be found here. It was one of those moments that before she sang, one thinks "oh god, this could be terrible." But as the song went on, trepidation turned to astonishment at what a good song it was and what a crazy moment to be witnessing in the middle of another artists' show. That's what leads me to believe Dina Rae was a plant of sorts - she just seemed too good to be true, and very at ease for someone who was just given the spotlight in a very packed First Avenue.
But if she wasn't a plant then what an incredible performer to have seized the opportunity - and to be quite frank, if she was a plant, do I really care as long as she was good? What could have been a car-crash in the middle of an incredible show ended up being one of my personal highlights, and as a music fan I guess I shouldn't be too picky about whether I saw something that was rehearsed or entirely spontaneous, because the basic fact is, I saw it.

If you want to hear some of the new Devendra Banhart record, he's posted a few songs on his web page.

It's time to redouble my efforts to post on this blog more often. I've even subscribed to it in Google Reader, which is ruling my life right now. Give me an RSS feed, and I'll subscribe to it. I can't wait until google runs the world. All of their shit is so hot.

Speaking of hot, did you see on stereogum that some loser got Jenna Fischer, aka Pam from the office to star in his video. I was just thinking today about how I should probably get cable in time for the next season of The Office. Karen's great, but Pam is what's really good.

I love that The Big O is in the background. Another reason to get cable. Baseball. Howaboutdem Cubbies!?

If you follow lolcats as closely as I do, then you should be just as floored as I am to learn of The Laugh Out Loud Cats. (Via The Stencil, of course.)

Eagle-eyed Dave Leibl found this one and passed it on and I can't not pass it on in turn. Bluegrass artist Dawn Landes does a wonderful interpretation of Peter, Bjorn & John's "Young Folks" that comes across as an honest - not joke-y - rendition. I absolutely love the harmonica/fiddle line that replaces the whistling of the original and the old-cat chorus singers.
Step aside Kanye West, your version pales in comparison. (Although, I admit I'm looking forward to your Graduation on September 11)

The Best Things I've Seen Today.

Okay, yesterday's blog was all about something I'm utterly serious about - great music and solid reissues.
Today I bring you the lighter side of things with a couple of videos that are the best things I've seen today.

This one's just a link - Kanye West's official site features this brilliant spoof.

The other I'm embedding here for your viewing pleasure - apparently this was choreographed/performed by inmates at a prison in the Phillipines. And ended up on youtube for everyone in the world to be astonished at. While we run the risk of prison riots and 'guest MCs' from Stony on 101.5, they've got some sort of "High School Musical" inmate rehabilitation program running in the land of Tagalog.

Hindsight 20/20

Folks who know me (and even a few who don't 'know me') are aware of my love of good soul music and over the last year or so, one of the most reliable sources has been the inestimable Numero Group record label. These cats have cornered the market on compilations, out-manoeuvring Rhino for quality and rarity (don't get me wrong, I still dig Rhino and would love to get my hands on this).
Their two entries in the Cult Cargo series (Belize City Boil-Up & Grand Bahama Goombay) take you on a trip to some tropical paradises for their home-grown take on funk, soul and jazz), while the Eccentric Soul series excavates the histories of lesser-known soul labels in the U.S. ('cause everyone knows Motown and Stax, but who's heard of Prix and Twinight?). PopMatters, a great little site I frequent just did a solid feature on Numero Group, interviewing one of the masterminds behind the label, Andrew Gilstrap. Thought I'd share the link to it here and recommend you hit your local record shop and check their releases out. I know Music Trader in Winnipeg's brought in several of the titles at my recommendation.

The article can be found here.

One other article worth checking out is in the August/September issue of Global Rhythm. (Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale are on the cover). There's a couple pages on the history of Fania Records and Nuyorican Salsa, which is seeing a bit of a re-emergence lately thanks to the sale of the Fania archives to Florida-based Emusic. They've taken to reissuing some of the original releases on LP and CD, and have put together some solid 'best ofs'
and compilations that cherry-pick the cream of the salsa crop. Now admittedly some of you may cringe when you hear 'salsa' and think of the self-important jackanapes who hold court in the basement of the Empire, but this is some dope music. I recently bought Mongo Santamaria's "Hey Sister" and The Latinaires "Camel Walk" on LP and can't stop playing them. And I'm REALLY hoping Dusty Groove get's this shit back in stock asap so I can order it up.

Anyway, just thought if you should know, if you're looking for some dope tunes for the hot summer days, look no further than Fania and Numero Group.

Recently Meesh and I rented Jesus Camp, and when it wasn't squirm-inducingly uncomfortable - (seriously, the methods the adults are using to 'instill' Christ in these children are classic brainwashing techniques - I worry especially for the little blond boy with the bowl cut. There's a good chance he's going to take his own life or someone else's later in life) - it was laughable the way the evangelicals have incorporated pop-culture into their 'praise.' There's a bewildering dance number with kids in camo gear and face paint holding 'crosses' that verge on menacing weapons (there's a clip of this in the show preview available at Apple's trailer site) and there's a 'hip-hop' performance in church that's so ridic- it's ridonk-ulous.
What on earth (or heaven) is possessing these folks to attempt such blatantly uncool efforts at being cool?
Well, I don't have the answer to that, but I do have the most recent uncool effort I've encountered, right here for your viewing (dis)pleasure:

Hell Hath No Fury

The Internet (or at least the part of the internet that Mark and I inhabit) is going nuts about the forthcoming Clipse album. Many tracks as well as a Green Lantern-hosted "this is not a mixtape" sampler/teaser have leaked, in additon to 2 of the hottest singles of the year (Mr. Me Too and Wamp Wamp (What it do). The album also got the coveted XXL ranking in this month's XXL magazine.

This track, however, is on some next level ish. Produced by The Neptunes, it has Timbaland-style fade-in synths, but with hot neptunes style drums including... more cowbell! The chorus has this haunting chopped-up singing which must be done by Pharrell but sounds nothing like him. Who knew rapping about dealing crack could be so beautiful?

Two gold stars, boys.

I've decided to put up two mp3's.

Guided by Voices - Gold Star for Robot Boy

Jon Auer - Gold Star for Robot Boy

The song is, of course, written by Robert Pollard and is on the GBV 1994 masterpiece Bee Thousand. The cover, by Jon Auer of Posies fame, is from a 2002 acoustic show by him. It makes me think of a few things:

a) I really don't pay attention to the content of the lyrics in songs. Perhaps this can be blamed on being raised on hip-hop. Regardless, I treat the voice as just another instrument in the song. Pollard's voice re-inforces the low-fi but melodically brillant GBV version, which makes me want to scream the lyrics at the top of my lungs at 3am and smash plates over my head, while the tender, introspective Auer version just makes me want to cry. I don't know what the lyrics are supposed to mean (and frankly, Budwiser Bob probably doesn't know either), but it doesn't matter - the emotions are still there.

b) Thank god Mike got me into The Posies. What a fantastic band.

c) Chain Reaction time:

- The real beauty of GBV albums (Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes especially) is the way in which each short song runs into the next and creates a full album experience. The song after Gold Star for Robot Boy is Awful Bliss.
- Awful Bliss is one of two lovely acoustic numbers by Tobin Sprout on the album. The other is Esther's Day.
- The song before Esther's Day is (do do do do do do do) Kicker of Elves.
- Which brings us back to:

You can check her out at www.myspace.com/jerichosmessage and listen to her songs "Break Free," "I Am Who I Am," and "EZone." Or you can wait for her to message you and/or make a friend request. I'm a fan of myspace and the opportunity it gives artists to expose their work to people all over the world but there's no screening process or 'filter' so anyone with a will to put their music out there and message you ends up coming across your radar. This isn't always a good thing. But it's frequently amusing. Check out the picture of Jericho's "extremely talented drummer" for further amusement.

God bless those out-of-it curmudgeons at Pitchfork (or P4K as I've now seen them write self-referentially). Sometimes they get things right and with their Overlooked Records 2006 "Year In Half Review" feature at the moment they hit the nail on the head with the Voxtrot's Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives (pictured at right). At the station we get a lot of new music and sometimes it's hard to sift through it all and I'll admit that I didn't give this Austin, TX band a listen when it came in in April. But the folks at Pitchfork said it was "full of deft arrangments and charming melodies that evoke Belle & Sebastian, Morrissey, and the Lucksmiths." So i pulled it out of the library and gave it a listen and I'm digging it immensely.
So kudos to you forkers, you prompted me to give Voxtrot a shot. I suggest others do the same.

I enjoy checking out local church signage for the ridiculous messages they frequently put up - pithy sayings like "This church is prayer-conditioned," and admonitions about how to live your life. I've often considered putting together an installation of nothing but photos of these messages under the title "SIGNS FROM GOD?"
But until I manage to get my act together and put on such a show, I'll have to put my latest discovery up here. This one's good...

No, Rhonda, no one said bicylce basketcase. Possibly ever.

Here is what Rhonda has to say:

Thank you for checking out this website. I hope you've enjoyed
samples of each song and each unique page that sometimes
contain (sic) surprises!

(Rhonda doesn't have a very firm grasp of grammar or Javascript...)

Here is what fans say about Rhonda:

Dearest Rhonda,
I just want to touch base with you so I can tell you, how truely amazing your music is. I mean c'mon, upon hearing "fairytale lost" I couldn't sleep for days. All I could do was be rowdy, and it even sparks creativity.

Couldn't sleep for days? Rowdy? I mean c’mon?

Here is a verse from that song:

My mirror image woo's in love
Gleaming at my style
Glamour Lingers in the air
The breeze can caress for a while

Let me know if that makes any sense to you.

Here is the letter I emailed to Rhonda:

Dearest Rhonda,

I have all your record’s. Bedtime story is my favourite. Do the order of the songs have any special meanings? Like how "Wear me Out" is followed by “One Finger Left” is followed by “Emergency Room”? Or is that just a funny coincidence?

Also, why on your webpage do you have a plane flying into you? Is that a political commentary? What are you trying to say? Is the plane supposed to crash into your chastity belt and open it? Are you like a sexy virginal twin towers? Is the plane your horny terrorist listeners? Does this make sense in a way I don't get? I am confused, but in a sexy way.

Please answer my questions when you can. I am curious.

Sincerely,
-Dave

Saw this on St. Mary's yesterday and I just had to (a) take a picture of it, and (b) respond to it.
Folks (and by folks, I'm talking to the United Church Centre, or whoever is responsible for the sign), vandalism is not terrorism. There's a reason the English language has developed the word "vandalism," and that's because it's a separate concept/action from "terrorism." If your signage were correct, then there'd be no need to have developed the word "vandalism" since "terrorism" would cover it/contain it.
Here's the Merriam-Webster definition of VANDALISM: willful or malicious destruction or defacement of public or private property. And here's the definition of TERRORISM from the same source: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. Hi-jackings, suicide bombings, hostage taking - these are the methods of terrorism, NOT, breaking windows or grafitti-ing building walls. By equating the former with the latter, you're basically saying that juvenile delinquents belong at Guantanamo Bay along with members of Al-Qaeda. Which is utter crap - it's the same brand of crap that Dubya attempted to shovel when he uttered the words "you're either for us or against us." We don't live in a black & white world, one dictated by polarities and either/or situations - we live in a multi-hued and nuanced world. Stop trying to paint with a broad brush, get your head out of the clouds and do something constructive with your time. You're doing everyone a disservice by 'sharing' this B.S. sentiment.

I'm Here Now, Okay?

I just spent a little while composing an inaugural post about hot dogs, Certified Bananas, The Clipse, and Great Stuff, but I'm pretty tired right now.

I'm going to go eat a couple of hot dogs and then turn in for the night.

G'night!
