The band released one album, also called Y Kant Tori Read, which bombed miserably. The band originally consisted of Amos, Steve Caton, and several musicians that they worked with at the time. When they were signed to Atlantic Records through record producer Joe Chicarelli the other musicians were dropped. Kim Bullard, later of Kajagoogoo, and Matt Sorum, later of Guns N' Roses, were brought in to flesh out the band for the album. The name comes from an incident in Tori's childhood where she was asked to leave the Peabody Conservatory because she refused to read sheet music. As a result of Amos' later success, early in her career copies of the album in its various formats would sell for thousands of dollars, particularly an unopened copy on compact disc in its original longbox. Soon after its release, however, cut-out copies on vinyl were placed on sale for ninety-nine cents. A music video for their song "The Big Picture" was made, but the only member of the band featured was Amos. As of 2006, due to the lessening of interest in Amos, the decline in music collectible sales and the increase in pirated distribution of the music, vinyl copies of the original record frequently sell on ebay for between $50-100. Two singles were released. The first, "The Big Picture," was commercially issued exclusively as a 7" vinyl single (and without a picture sleeve.) A 12" vinyl promo did have a picture sleeve, however. The second single, "Cool on Your Island," was issued as a cassette single and 7" vinyl single, this time with a picture sleeve; and in various promo 7" vinyl singles. Neither single was successful. Atlantic Records fully abandoned promoting the record after only two months of release. The company has since honored Amos' request that no Y Kant Tori Read material be re-released, although bootleg copies do exist. <a href="http://themanticore.com/lamb/Island.mp3"> </a><a href="http://themanticore.com/lamb/Island.mp3">Y Kant Tori Read - Cool On Your Island</a> (mp3) </description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Panda Sneeze</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2007/02/panda-sneeze.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Feb 2007 20:45:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-117194678710986473</guid><description><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dtLzvOsQ80k"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dtLzvOsQ80k" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Yr Pants Are Creased Familiarly</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2007/02/yr-pants-are-creased-familiarly.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Feb 2007 20:27:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-117194667843506115</guid><description>A year ago, we saw the incredible cardboard video for "You Don't Want Yr Nails Done," a standalone single from <a href="http://www.panthertouch.com/">Panther</a>, the noise-electro alias of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theplanetthe">The Planet The</a>'s Charles Salas-Humara, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsRCxYRnunA">inventor and champion of "floor dancing."</a> It blew our mind. <object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pnP9CjDxRDM"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pnP9CjDxRDM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></object> On March 6th, the song will finally appear on a full-length LP, "Secret Lawns," Panther's first from<a href="http://www.frykbeat.com/"> Fryk Beat</a>.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You Before I met Screamin' Jay, I had not considered insanity as an option. He made it look so good that I eventually decided to dabble in it myself. In his music, I hear all my fondest hopes for all those people who guard their sanity too closely. 2. The Marvelettes - The Hunter Gets Captures by the Game Had the game been captured by the hunter, the story would not have been so intriguing. 3. Love - You Set the Scene 'If you want she brings you water / If you don't then you will burn.' I have always thought that burning must be one of the most painful ways to go. Luckily, on both occasions that my jacket caught on fire, there was water available. Perhaps I somehow willed it thus. But it could be coincidence. 4. Midlake - Roscoe A certain amount of rain must necessarily fall. And although they are easily taken for granted, the wise among us will think of the roofs over their heads, ponder how they came to be there, and be grateful to those who sacrificed for our abundance. When I get caught outside in the rain, I often whistle this song, and it always gives me comfort. 5. Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood - Some Velvet Morning The unity of all things presents itself as a riddle. Sometimes it appears weeping, sometimes in playful disguise. Many have covered this song, and for good reason. 6. Sparklehorse - Piano Fire I understand that this song, from the solemn and beautiful It's a Wonderful Life LP, was inspired by an actual piano fire. Although I did not have the pleasure of witnessing the fire itself, I have the pleasure of calling Mark Linkous. His soulful eccentricity will see him through. 7. The Monkees - Porpoise Song (Theme from "Head") If you remember being on the set as Head was filmed, you weren't there. I don't remember being there, so I cannot say whether I was there or not. The years have not dulled its brilliance. 8. Daniele Luppi - Fetish Quartet Mr. Luppi and I, we go way back. Over the years, he has been a powerful creative influence and a treasured friend. I am deeply in his debt. I promise than I was repay him the next time our paths cross, if I am able. 9. The 5th Dimension - Sunshine of Your Love Better than the first four dimensions combined. 10. James Brown - It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World In the wake of his recent passing, I am still collecting my thoughts of Mr. Brown. When I listen to this song now, I am touched with nostalgia, for Mr. Brown's outsized personality and talent, and for the women whose affection has given me strength. Time moves on, but when we say it loud, with the whole of our beings, we touch something timeless. 11. J-Zone & Dick $tallion - Disco Ho When I hear this song, I am touched with nostalgia. For the fleeting absurdity of the disco era, and for the women whose affection has given me strength. It takes great wisdom to get this ig'nant. <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMix?id=215024231&amp;s=143441">The Gnarls Barkley Celebrity Playlist</a></description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Thou Shalt Always Kill</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2007/02/thou-shalt-always-kill.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Feb 2007 08:18:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-117129739525374467</guid><description><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3232/3439/1600/750171/danbury_mint_ten_commandments_no_box_P0000013277S0009T2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3232/3439/400/512360/danbury_mint_ten_commandments_no_box_P0000013277S0009T2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Thou shalt not steal if there is direct victim.

With the charity single, the iTunes "accident," the leaked songs, and the high school cafeteria performance, everyone who's anyone and anyone who's everyone now has at least half of what may be indie rock's most long-awaited album of the last 12 million years, or however long it's taken to make. The Eternal Law of Enormous Hype tells us that this album could never possibly live up to the expectations that surround it, and that may be true. Now we place it upon the Extremely Large Scale of Rock and Roll Justice; the album is almost as produced as Thriller, but we can still hear the fingers on the guitars and the missed beats. It's more epic, and it's more melodic, and it's confusing the fuck out of indie kids, who have no idea whether it's better or worse than Funeral, myself included. And while we figure it out, the Arcade Fire is going to make millions and we're going to be listening to what is without a doubt a fantastic album, whatever place it'll take on the Disproportionately Massive Indie Rock Wall of Fame and Shame. <a href="http://themanticore.com/lamb/KeepTheCarRunning.mp3">The Arcade Fire - Keep The Car Running</a> (mp3) <a href="http://themanticore.com/lamb/BlackMirror.mp3">The Arcade Fire - Black Mirror</a> (mp3) And now for a comparison: <a href="http://themanticore.com/lamb/nocarsgoep.mp3">The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go [pre-Funeral version]</a> (mp3) <a href="http://themanticore.com/lamb/nocarsGoneon.mp3">The Arcade Fire - No Cars Go [Neon Bible version]</a> (mp3) Yeah, we know.</description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Rest In Peace, James Brown.</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2006/12/rest-in-peace-james-brown.html</link><pubDate>Mon, 25 Dec 2006 13:22:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-116708218580983815</guid><description><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3232/3439/1600/85256/james_brown.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3232/3439/400/354079/james_brown.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> from CNN: ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- James Brown, the legendary R&B belter, a singer and songwriter who created a foundation for funk and provided the roots of rap, a man of many nicknames but a talent that can only be described as one of a kind, is dead. Brown died early Monday at Atlanta's Emory Crawford Long Hospital of congestive heart failure, his agent said. He was 73. Brown was in Atlanta for a dental appointment when he fell ill and was admitted to the hospital over the weekend for treatment of "severe pneumonia," said his agent, Frank Copsidas. "It appears what happened is that he did die of a heart attack as a result of his pneumonia," Copsidas told CNN Radio. Brown -- known variously as "the Godfather of Soul," "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business," "Soul Brother Number One" and "Mr. Dynamite" (and often introduced as all of the above) -- was known for his elastic dance moves, razor-sharp musicianship and all-stops-out performances. He was, literally, an impossible act to follow: The Rolling Stones were said to have been terrified to come on after Brown in "The T.A.M.I. Show," a 1964 concert that appeared on film the next year. ("Nobody could follow me," Brown told "T.A.M.I. Show" director Steve Binder, according to a Los Angeles Times article.) Brown's performance in that show even earned an ovation from the backing band. "You have the Rolling Stones on the same stage, all of the important rock acts of the day, doing their best -- and James Brown comes out and destroys them," producer Rick Rubin wrote in Rolling Stone. His influence was broad and deep. He was a soul innovator, bringing a churchy rawness to R&B with his early hits "Please, Please, Please" and "Think." He essentially created funk with mid-'60s songs such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "Cold Sweat." His grooves were sampled by rappers and hip-hop artists. He was tough on his own backing band, the Famous Flames -- which included saxophonist Maceo Parker, guitarist Jimmy Nolen and drummer Clyde Stubblefield -- famously fining them if they missed a cue. They even walked out on him in 1969; Brown simply recruited a new band, which included bassist Bootsy Collins. (Many of the Flames later returned; they were renamed the J.B.'s.) He provided the ground that much of black music -- much of pop music -- stands on. "James presented obviously the best grooves," rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy once told The Associated Press. "To this day, there has been no one near as funky. No one's coming even close." Despite much-publicized personal problems that included a rap sheet and drug troubles, he also was a community leader. In the 1960s, he was a voice for calm during a period of urban riots; J. Anthony Lukas' book on Boston race relations, "Common Ground," notes that a 1968 Brown performance the day after the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination helped keep the Massachusetts city from exploding. Later, dismayed by the school shootings of the late '90s, he spoke out against violence in schools, even writing a song, "Killing's Out and School's In." "We need to protect the kids by giving them something to do," Brown told CNN in 2001. "[It's about] making them interested, making them love mom and dad more, love the family more, love themselves more and love their school. So there won't have to be killing in school." Superhuman Determination James Brown was born on May 3, 1933, in Barnwell, South Carolina. His early years were rough. Abandoned by his immediate family, he was taken in by friends and relatives and grew up in an "ill-repute area" of Augusta, Georgia, he once said. He shined shoes and danced for change, and he also served time in a reform school for breaking into cars, rescued by the family of friend Bobby Byrd. Byrd invited Brown to join his group, the Gospel Starlighters, which later changed its name to the Flames and then the Famous Flames. The group was signed to King Records and released its song "Please, Please, Please" in early 1956. The song hit the R&B Top 10 and the group worked it hard, touring the "chitlin circuit" -- as the series of African-American clubs and theaters was called -- incessantly. "What made Brown succeed where hundreds of others failed was his superhuman determination, working the chitlin circuit to death, sharpening his band, and keeping an eye on new trends," Richie Unterberger wrote on Allmusic.com. A second hit, "Try Me," gave the group staying power, and from there it was hit after hit: "Think," "This Old Heart," "Bewildered," "Lost Someone," "Night Train," "Prisoner of Love." Brown eventually scored more than 50 Top 10 hits on the R&B charts. Seventeen hit No. 1. Despite the occasional pop hit, crossover stardom eluded him until 1963, when "Live at the Apollo" -- still considered one of the great live albums of all time -- hit No. 2 on Billboard's album chart. In 1965, Brown hit the pop Top 10 with the groundbreaking "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," a song that incorporated the intricate start-and-stop rhythms that would come to define funk, and his mainstream stardom was sealed. Brown's music was bold: 1968's "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)" was a defiant statement of black pride; 1970's "Get Up (I Feel Like Being Like A) Sex Machine" was blatantly sexual; 1971's "Hot Pants" leering. His sound was unlike anything on the charts and was copied by many artists, including Sly and the Family Stone and Parliament -- who, in turn, gave it their own spin. Influence on disco, hip-hop, rap Brown went into eclipse in the mid-'70s. His 1974 song "The Payback" was his last Top 40 hit for 11 years, and even his appearances on the R&B/black music charts were irregular. He returned to the Top 10 with "Living in America," the theme from "Rocky IV," in 1985, but it was his last hurrah on the pop chart. Brown also was plagued by personal problems. In the late '80s he was in the news for being accused of assault and battery by his then-wife. In 1988, high on PCP, he led police on a chase through two states before officers shot out the tires of his truck. He received a six-year prison sentence, serving 15 months in prison and 10 months in a work release program before being paroled in 1991, according to the AP. But his musical influence was undeniable. He was part of the first group of artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. He won Grammys for "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" and "Living in America." He received a Kennedy Center honor in 2003. He knew what he'd accomplished. "Disco is James Brown, hip-hop is James Brown, rap is James Brown; you know what I'm saying? You hear all the rappers, 90 percent of their music is me," he told the AP in 2003. Brown's traditional performance close -- wailing "Please, Please, Please," falling to his knees, being covered with a cape, led almost off stage, still singing quietly, only to rise again, returned to the center, bringing the crowd to its screaming feet -- is indelible. It suggested nothing short of a life force, one that lives on in his many followers. Which was what James Brown hoped for. "I would like to pass on the want to do something," he told CNN in 2000. "The need is there. Good lyrics are good things, but I would like to pass on that drive, that vigorous undying determination." <a href="http://filexoom.com/files/2006/12/12/48359/1-01%20Please,%20Please,%20Please.mp3">James Brown - Please, Please, Please</a> (mp3) </description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Christmas Time Is Here</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2006/12/christmas-time-is-here.html</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Dec 2006 14:40:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-116700004326976497</guid><description><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3232/3439/1600/426860/Sanford%20blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/3232/3439/400/19339/Sanford%20blog.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> Wow, Merry Christmas.

Firstly, Daniel's father is very very ill and we had been debating for some time cutting the tour short so he could be with his family. But last night, the final straw happened, our Van was robbed and much of our gear and personal belongings were stolen while in Brussels. It's with a very very very sad face that I have to announce we are cancelling our last 12 shows. We were really looking forward to them all so much. We will surely be back sometime in 2007, once we can replace all the stolen instruments and Daniel has had time to be with his father. Now, this is a shame for a number of reasons. Firstly, this is the band that may have given us the 2006 album of the year with "Yellow House." Secondly, they are even more amazing live than they are on the record (which is hard to fathom, until they play in front of you, at which time you're thinking they're 100 times better live.) And thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, they're the nicest people ever. I had a compulsive urge to mash up their song "Knife" with "Heartbeats" by The Knife, so I e-mailed a simple request for a vocal track for their song to the info e-mail adress listed on their site, not thinking I would get a reply, and being okay with that. Two minutes later, I got a really excited e-mail back from lead singer Ed Droste, and for the next few days had an ongoing conversation with him while we tried to figure out how to get the tracks to me in between sound checks and gigs. This was all before the robbing, however, and I can only imagine how bummed they all are, so <a href="http://search.insound.com/search/showrelease.jsp?p=INS29936">go out and buy "Yellow House,"</a> and support the band. Tell your friends. They'll be glad you did. </description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>The Blow + Architecture In Helsinki (and other people), Irving Plaza 11/5/06</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2006/11/blow-architecture-in-helsinki-and.html</link><pubDate>Sun, 5 Nov 2006 23:34:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-116300398817255816</guid><description><object height="350" width="425"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGjIVGqV-lg"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aGjIVGqV-lg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="350" width="425"> </object>We meandered over to the brand new <a href="http://www.puma.com/">Puma</a> store on Union Square just in time to catch the last half of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lazarocasanova">Lazaro Casanova</a>’s DJ set. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/1600/LAZAROCASSANOVA.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/400/LAZAROCASSANOVA.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> It was awkward, as are most “concerts” held in brightly-lit clothing stores in broad daylight.

A bunch of really, viciously cool people just stood around, tapping their feet, nodding their heads, pretending to look at sort of bland looking shoes, and pretending they didn’t see that short guy with the glasses and the hat in the middle of the room dancing like there was no tomorrow. Everyone was leaving, but I was there for <a href="http://www.mstrkrft.com/">MSTRKRFT</a>, the duo responsible for perhaps the greatest fake-house music ever to come out of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_From_Above_1979">break up of a post-punk hardcore dance band</a>. It was pretty amazing, but even watching two DJs is awkward in daylight; one is always twisting the knobs, and one is always looking through the CD or the records, or leaning over the other one to re-twist a knob, all making for a really awkward encounter. But it was really great, though. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/1600/MSTRKRFT1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/400/MSTRKRFT1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> And then we moved on. On this, the third day of CMJ, we were all a bit CMJ’d out, and when we saw the five-artist bill for the show at Irving that night that we were going to for <a href="http://www.theblow.us/">The Blow</a>, we sighed a deep sigh. For, you see, <a href="http://www.theblow.us/">The Blow</a> was not to go on until 10 but doors opened at 7:30 and CMJ only lets a certain amount of CMJ pass holders in the door and show was sold out but we only had three real tickets so Echo had to go early but we really couldn't pass up free Chinese food with my mom so we did that but she stayed there alone and she was probably really mad but eventually we showed up even though we couldn't find Alex (even though we went to his dorm and had some lady go up to his room to see if he was there), and if this isn't a run-on sentence, I don't know what is. But I digress. <a href="http://www.shapesandsizes.ca/">Shapes and Sizes</a> played, and then <a href="http://www.tenkimusic.com/">Tenki</a> played, and then we arrived in time for <a href="http://www.theblow.us/">The Blow</a>. Khaela. Oh, Khaela. Poor Khaela, Jona wasn't there, so she was dancing around on a really big stage and singing along to her instrumentals. She often "put her arm around" Jona, who, as I mentioned, was not there, and ended every song as awkwardly as possible, with a little "um, yeah, so. yeah." But she's a fantastic dancer (see above video). During "What Tom Said About Girls," she had a huge monologue about how she was some dude, and just went on and on and on. I wish I had a transcript. I wish you were there to hear it. Then <a href="http://www.applesinstereo.com/">Apples In Stereo</a> played, and we sat that one out. Who knows why, not me. And then, just when we were getting really very tired, and just when the danger of never getting home was getting more and more dangerous, <a href="http://www.architectureinhelsinki.com/">Architecture In Helsinki</a> came on. To be absolutely truthful, I think they were a little too cute, and a little too Australian, and just not that great. They did play a bunch of really RNB sounding new songs, which was alright. I wasn't that impressed, maybe because we had to leave before "Do The Whirlwind." What a day. We are truly hipsters.</description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Hot Chip + Gang Gang Dance + Someone Else, Webster Hall</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2006/11/hot-chip-gang-gang-dance-someone-else.html</link><pubDate>Thu, 2 Nov 2006 23:57:00 -0800</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-116361015207517669</guid><description><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/1600/Frequencies-HotChip.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/400/Frequencies-HotChip.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a> As we all know, CMJ is back in New York City in full force this week. Every day is jam packed with events to attend, almost too many to handle, and as luck would have it working for the Sarah Lawrence College Radio Station has provided for me one highly coveted pass. Little did I know I would have to pick it up in the distant land that is the Upper West Side. So seemingly far away, that I was tempted not to get it at all, but alas, our good friend Lindsay needed accompaniment to a show on Thursday night, so I decided I should get it after all. Running into the city quickly after class one day, I hopped on the subway straight to Lincoln Center and picked up my badge (which came with a lot of other goodies too, I would highly recommend obtaining one for future CMJ Marathons) returning to school within two hours time. Now I was good to go, pass in hand, ready to conquer CMJ, or so I thought. It turns out that having a pass when you’re under 21 isn’t so handy seeing as most of the good shows are at trendy bars not catering to the younger set. Also, at each show they only permit a certain amount of badge holders so you have to get there excruciatingly early and are forced to watch the opening acts we so many times choose to skip. So, now you’ve been forewarned. Fast forward to Thursday night, Lindsay and I arrived at Webster Hall around 6:30, in time to see the two opening acts. The first of which was a duo who shall remain nameless because they failed to tell us who they were. One guy was on drums and one was on keys. Their music was danceable, but nothing special, just one of those bands you struggle to talk through because they’re so loud. Next up after them was <a href="http://www.ganggangdance.com/">Gang Gang Dance</a>, who I’d previously seen at Across the Narrows, an outdoor festival in Coney Island. Gang Gang Dance, outside, is not bad, inside however, is a different story. They were eardrum shatteringly loud to begin with, and their songs seemed incoherent and blended into each other giving the listen no time for a break. The music was full of drawn out effects and loud noises, something one has to be in the mood for, and unfortunately that night, I was not. Finally after sitting through two opening acts, <a href="http://www.hotchip.co.uk/">Hot Chip</a> came to the stage. Having never seen a picture of them, I was blown away by the motley crew that they were. Alexis was donning huge green glow in the dark glasses, while the others wore everything from evening dress suits to what seemed to be a nurse’s smock. Their awkward shyness on stage mixed with their upbeat music was definitely a sight to behold. The only complaint I had about Hot Chip’s performance was that it lacked the song “The Warning”, but besides that, I had no qualms. They made the trek to get the CMJ pass and the sitting through two unenjoyable opening acts worthwhile. Hot Chip @ Webster Hall 1. Out of the Pictures 2. Keep Fallin' 3. Shake a Fist 4. Hold On 5. Boy From School 6. Graceland 7. (Just Like We) Breakdown 8. Colours/ Laws of Salvation 9. Beach Party 10. Not Fit State ENCORE 11. Careful / Temptation (New Order) 12.

The Horror In All Of Us A few of my favorite horror(ible) films. by SUFJAN STEVENS I grew up on horror films. I saw The Exorcist when I was five. A year later, Disney’s The Black Hole struck me as light fare, even though my older brother left the theater crying. My father once brought home a VHS rental of Day of the Dead and we watched it twice, eating take-out Chinese. A few weeks later it was Ridley Scott’s Alien, then Dead Calm, then The Shining. It didn’t phase me one bit. I never had nightmares. In my imaginary television show, Vincent Price was the host, David Cronenburg was the director, and Freddy Kreuger played the lead. I’ve watched so much gore that modern horror films look farcical. I’m no longer a fan of the teenage slasher. It’s not scary anymore. It’s just messy and tedious. More recently, I’ve begun to uncover elements of horror in everyday life. The cockroach nesting under the sink. The metronome click of the radiator in the corner. The old woman in her chair on the street next door, who is always asking for change. In the same way, some horror films aren’t horror films at all. But they evoke a particular kind of consternation that settles under your skin like the flu. You can feel the palpitations of your heart in your ears. Here is a list of a few my favorites: 1. Night of the Living Dead—This is an obvious choice. Bad acting, cheap make-up, and clumsy camera work actually contribute to the overall panic affect. It’s so unscripted it begins to feel real. The still frame sequence at the end, when they burn all the bodies (with its genocidal overtones)—that still makes me sick to my stomach. 2. Decasia—This is a film that compiles all kinds of old film footage worn away by the elements, creating a ghastly composition of images that slowly break apart. The visual distortions create a burning, melting sensation, evoking the sense that all of life, and art, and culture, and society, the origins of language, everything—you, me--will eventually be cremated in the fires of time, whatever that means. Michael Gordon’s soundtrack is equally scary—a growling, swirling dirge, the sound of a great orchestra forced to play with bad intonation for 40 minutes straight. It’s a great horror film for a blind date! 3. An Inconvenient Truth—I couldn’t sleep for days. Melting ice caps, receding glaciers, New York City submerged in water, Al Gore and his gruesome pie charts. He’s like Darth Vader armed with a Power Point presentation. Yikes. 4. Eraserhead—It’s an art film, horror film, student film, philosophy film, whatever you call it. I like to think of it as the only horror film that doubles as a form of birth control. 5. Hell House—a clear, concise, empathetic documentation of an evangelical church’s tireless undertaking in constructing a theatrical Haunted House—in which different rooms act as stage sets where church members play out life or death scenarios meant to scare unsuspecting viewers into repentance. It’s not exactly a horror film, of course. But it’s horrifying in that other kind of way, in which ordinary people begin to behave in extraordinary ways so that all logic is turned on its head and you begin to worry that we are very near the end of civilization. 6. Glen or Glenda?—If you thought Plan 9 was bad, this one is the grand prixe of b-rate movie making. What’s more horrifying than alien invasion? Coming home from the beauty salon and finding your husband in drag. To be fair, Ed Wood looks good in angora. Who doesn’t? What’s really horrifying (in that sad, scary kind of way) is Bela Lugosi’s rambling, medicated monologue about the meaningless trajectory of life. “Pull the string!” He chants to the camera, like a mad puppeteer! And what about that free jazz number with the devil dancing around on the couch? What does that have to do with cross-dressing? Or puppets? Who cares! Oscars all around! </description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Mt.

He sat in the corner of the Blue Room, with his soft guitar and his soft sweatshirt, and we all sat, spread out all over the floor, and he sang to us, softly. And when it was time for him to go, he told us that he could play one more song, and that it was going to be a sing-along song, but there were too many words to tell us. So he said, 'Just read my mind, and sing along. And even if you're not really getting the brainwaves I'm sending you, just keep making noise and don't be quiet. I'll start slowly now.' And he began: 'Wwwwwhhhhheeeeeerrrrrreeeee iiiiisssssss Mmmmoooouuuuuunnnnnttttttt Eeeeeeerrrrrriiiiiieeeeeee?'

I was waiting for Snacks in Union Square, and I took refuge under the awning of Virgin Records. I look over to my right, and there's <a href="http://amyking.org/blog/wp-images/media/thumb-Kyp_Malone.jpg">Kyp Malone</a>, afro-enthusiast (that's the haircut, mind you) and 1/3 of the brains behind TV On The Radio. And he'd like to know what time it is. So I told him. And I'd heard that the Thin White Duke was going to be appearing at the show tonight, so I say to him, 'Hey man, I'm gonna be at the show tonight, and I hear Bowie might show up?' And he said, 'I dunno, man.' But he must really have not known, because Bowie didn't show up, and you'd probably say 'no' if you could in a situation like that, to curb the dissapointment and all that. Anyway. There was nothing dissapointing about it, rather much to the contrary, Bowie or no. But first, <a href="http://grizzly-bear.net">Grizzly Bear</a>. Yellow House, the second album from the ethereal folk band, is high up on my album of the year list, and should and could be a contender for the real list, whoever that belongs to. If Brian Wilson, Sigur Rós, Enya, Devendra Banhart and Peter Gabriel lived in a small yellow cabin in the dark forest of Montana in the late 19th century (but had access to electric guitars), their all-star supergroup might have sounded like this. But maybe not. In this case, the music really does speak for itself, but I'd like to point out that, during the dimly-lit opening set, the four men of Grizzly Bear, in a line across the stage, all singing like they were in the bottom of a well, utilized the following: 1. Electric Guitars 2. Acoustic Guitars 3. an Electric Bass 4. Drums 5. Xylophones 6. a Marimba 7. a Moog Synthesizer 8. an Autoharp 9. Shakers 10. a Vocoder 11. a Recorder and 12. a Cowbell <a href="http://www.etiquetteboy.com/downloads/05%20Little%20Brother.mp3">Grizzly Bear - Little Brother</a> (mp3) <a href="http://www.etiquetteboy.com/downloads/03%20Knife.mp3">Grizzly Bear - Knife</a> (mp3) Grizzly Bear - Shift [live in The Bathroom] (video below) <object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ltvjOj9m-c"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4ltvjOj9m-c" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></object> David Andrew Sitek's guitar has wind chimes dangling from the end. It's amazing how different two bands can be. After 15 mintues of quiet reflection, Snacks and I were thrust into the jerky world of chopped tempos and horn samples that is <a href="http://tvontheradio.com">TV On The Radio</a>. Kyp Malone is the backbone of the band, standing very still and quietly singing his extremely high accompaniment to Tunde Adebimpe, who is neither quiet nor still. His microphone in his right hand, he runs around the stage flailing his left like it doesn't belong to him, like there's a devil inside. And of course, David Andrew Sitek (or 'the white guy' to those of you more visually-centered people) pranced around, his wind chime dangling all over the place. The show was non-stop noise, and even in between songs there was something going on in the background. The encore was the best part: the band (5 people) called out Grizzly Bear (4 more people) and all of the roadies and friends backstage (9 more people). They were each given some sort of percussion instrument (one drunken guitar tech was viciously beating a bottle of Jager with a hanger), and the group collectively went into 'Ambulance' from the record before last. With Sitek beatboxing, Grizzly Bear's drummer drumming, and everyone (including the audience) joining in on the 'dum dum dum dum dum dum' bassline, it was a bit of a magical moment. <a href="http://www.etiquetteboy.com/downloads/01%20I%20Was%20A%20Lover.mp3">TV On The Radio - I Was A Lover</a> (mp3) <a href="http://www.etiquetteboy.com/downloads/05%20Ambulance.mp3">TV On The Radio - Ambulance</a> (mp3)</description><author>tstout@slc.edu (Trevor)</author></item><item><title>Jack, This Isn't Fair.</title><link>http://thelambliesdownonbroadway.blogspot.com/2006/10/jack-this-isnt-fair.html</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Oct 2006 16:35:00 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31675200.post-116070204938292740</guid><description><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/1600/man.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3232/3439/400/man.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>' Tim Burton's holiday classic, THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, makes a return to the big screen this holiday season in stunning Disney Digital 3D. The dazzling new make-over of the musical-fantasy was led by the film's original filmmaking team of Academy Award nominated writer/producer Tim Burton ("Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Corpse Bride") and director Henry Selick ("James and the Giant Peach") as well as the talented technical wizards at Industrial Light + Magic. Audiences will get closer than ever to Halloweentown's beloved Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington (voiced by CHRIS SARANDON), as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday. Against the advice of Sally (voiced by CATHERINE O'HARA), a lonely rag doll who has feelings for him, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters Lock, Shock, and Barrel to help him kidnap Santa Claus. Jack eventually realizes his mistake but has to contend with the evil Oogie Boogie before he can make things right and restore the Christmas holiday. Fueled by an unforgettable Grammy nominated soundtrack featuring ten ghoulishly delightful songs by Oscar nominee Danny Elfman ("Corpse Bride," "Big Fish") who also provided the singing voice for Jack, Tim Burton's THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS 3D combines the Oscar nominated artistry of stop-motion animation with brand new state-of-the-art digital technology to create a unique and entertaining movie-going experience that is sure to become a modern holiday tradition. In select theaters starting October 20th.' And the SOUNDTRACK. Just three songs, and 1) I'm convinced that Marylin Manson could have (should have, may have) written 'This Is Halloween' 2) I actually gain some respect for Fall Out Boy, because of their perfect version of 'What's This?' 3) 'Sally's Song,' one of the all time greatest OST songs, is covered by none other than Fiona Apple, machine extraordinaire. <a href="http://www.etiquetteboy.com/downloads/This%20Is%20Halloween.mp3">Marylin Manson - This Is Halloween</a> (mp3) <a href="http://www.etiquetteboy.com/downloads/What%27s%20This_.mp3">Fall Out Boy - What's This?</a> (mp3) <a href="http://www.etiquetteboy.com/downloads/Sally%27s%20Song.mp3">Fiona Apple - Sally's Song</a> (mp3) [P.S.

But, you see, I have to. As you may know, their newest full-length, Paper Television, comes out October 24th. Their last EP, Poor Aim: Love Songs, was very much 'limited edition' and very much funky (being, as it is, Khaela's first collaboration with Y.A.C.H.T. aka Jona Bechtolt), and is now very much out of print. The good people who are The Blow have, incidentally, decided to give you this EP for free on their website until the new one comes out on the 24th. Highly reccomended.
