i keep writing in my livejournal about music. mistake. i've just been so busy and so full of the hold steady.
i'll transfer some writings soon. right now i'm reading every interview
i can find with craig finn et al because i will be interviewing one or
more members of THS very soon for tiny mix tapes.
oh-em-gee, etc.
here's my favorite thing that i've found so far:
JH--What is wrong with the indie music scene?
CF--Kids who sit on the floor during shows. I seriously will drop a beer bottle on your head if you do this. And I am a nice person. Anything that precludes fun or humor. Bands with matching outfits suck as a rule. Anything that puts style before substance. 80s new wave revival makes me embarrassed for the people taking part. Any good band has some element of danger in them. A band without a sense of danger is about the worst thing in the world. That said, danger comes a lot of different ways, and I see danger in Cat Power and Belle & Sebastian and not in the Hives/Vines/etc.
WORD UP.
that being said, listen to this album. it won't save you, but it'll help.
whoops ... guess i've been pretty busy getting my byline on tiny mix tapes. shyeah.
anyway, check this out ... sexy/scary man mike patton has another project out on record, and it features everyone from massive attack to norah jones. i know, i know, norah jones, snore, blah, lame, etc.
just trust me here.
as if my own dang music blog wasn't enough, i'm currently waiting to
hear back from both tiny mix tapes and amp camp to see if they will accept me into their indie-rock
folds of ADD music journalism.
maybe they will google me and see these shameless declarations of
adoration (or a motivational proclamation ... eww, remember good
charlotte? i mean uh, what?).
