Enjoy!</em><br />
<br />
<strong>Chicago, IL</strong> - Breaking into a new <img src = "http://www.bush-fire.com/userfiles/Parlotones.jpg" width="300" hspace="6" vspace="6" align="right"> market can be difficult in any industry. It takes a committed, positive-thinking, motivated individual or group to gain even the slightest amount of recognition for their artistic abilities. When the Parlotones outgrew their South African musical habitat, they began a worldwide tour that has now brought them to the land of opportunity, the final test to attain rock stardom. Last night at the Bottom Lounge, the Parlotones explained backstage why they are prepared for the challenge, then proceeded to shake the high warehouse brick walls with their unique brand of intellectual dance music.<br />
<br />
Kahn Morbee, the statesman and lead singer of the group joined drummer Neil Pauw and guitarist Paul Hodgson over 12 years ago in Johannesburg, ZA. Soon after they began jamming, Paul's brother Glenn added his ivory tickling and bass slapping skills to round out the band's sound. Through many late nights and long journeys sometimes totaling 8 hours to play one show, the Parlotones persevered and became national phenoms.<br />
<br />
South Africa is a culturally diverse country still figuring out a way to organize and present the multitude of artistic styles based there to the population. The lack of quality mid-level venues in the country does not make it easy to cultivate musical talent such as the Parlotones. "There isn't enough infrastructure to actually provide for [local rock bands]," Morbee said with slight disappointment in his voice. Also, for better or worse, "there's not a big enough audience for one style of music to feed it, to sustain it." That reality, however, presented the band with an ultimatum: stay in South Africa or take a leap of faith and bring the stories and hopeful messages of South Africans to the world. <br />
<br />
Dressed in black from head to toe, save for scarlet neck ties, the Parlotones opened the set with the single "Life Design." The recently released album Stardust Galaxies has already reached Platinum status back home. Much is due to the aforementioned lead single that pays homage to dedicated people who have overcome obstacles and adversity to attain their goals. It may serve as the band's mantra as they continue to be well-received at each stop across North America, Chicago included. <br />
<br />
With South African flags waving and vuvuzelas trumpeting (thought you'd never hear that hum ever again, eh?) the Parlotones felt right at home on the Near West Side. Morbee's sweeping vocals on "Giant Mistake" sent the crowd into an uproar. Then Glenn grabbed the spotlight for a delicate piano solo to begin the romantically tragic "I'll Be There." Female audience members could not contain glass-shattering screams of enjoyment.<br />
<br />
Don't assume the adoration causes amnesia among the band members. "It wasn't a quick or easy path to success," Morbee explained. "There were a lot of obstacles in the early days. You start to cherish the good moments...and not take them for granted." Their humility shines through in the countless ways the Parlotones give back their time and social status to champion worthy causes in Africa such as United Against Malaria and POSI+IVE Rocks.<br />
<br />
From carting around a P.A. system in their van to playing at the 2009 South Africa Presidential Inauguration, the Parlotones' journey to stardom at home has not been the most direct. Though their tour across America winds along from the West Coast to the Northeast, the Parlotones are on a direct path to achieving great success.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542997868887625950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637099817708696505.post-6819281778359803812010-09-09T08:33:00.000-07:002010-09-09T08:49:45.494-07:00Band of the Day: The TillersToday's band of the day hails from Cincinnati: <strong>The Tillers</strong>. Self-dubbed as "Cincinnati’s traveling minstrels," the folk group should be ear candy for fans of Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver or The Builders & the Butchers.<br />

Or, for folks outside the U.S., it's just a Tuesday -- but, hey, that's pretty rough too. The cure is brilliantly fuzzy shoegaze from Sweden.<br />
<br />
<strong>Westkust</strong> fits the bill nicely. I stumbled upon them via the exceptional <a href="http://www.swedesplease.net/2010/09/01/shoegazey-stuff-from-weskust/"><strong>Swedesplease blog</strong></a>. Check out Westkust's song "Queen" there, or at the group's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/westkust"><strong>MySpace page</strong></a><strong></strong>.<br />
<br />
They're headed in a direction much more along the lines of My Bloody Valentine's vintage buzz, rather than the pseudo-80s, synth-infused vibe of groups like The Depreciation Guild. Both post-rock routes are awesome, but it's great to hear this sort of DIY raw fuzz again. <br />

<br />
You'll probably recognize this tune from the 7 billion Apple commercials you've seen in the last few years, but Blake Hazard (and hubby John Dragonetti) are not to be missed. (Anyone else get an anti-consumerism vibe from this track? Odd that it would be used to sell a device that probably no one actually needs).<br />
<br />
<img src = "http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41--FLowR2L.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="120" hspace="5" style="-moz-border-radius: 45px; -webkit-border-radius: 45px;" />2. <strong>Samantha Crain</strong> -- "Lions" (from <em>You (Understood))</em><br />
<br />
Hey, just added this earlier this week! Samantha Crain has a real captivating voice. She hails from Shawnee, OK and <em>You (Understood)</em> is her second LP. Check her out if you're a fan of Jonna Newsom.<br />
<br />
<img src = "http://betterpropaganda.com/images/artwork/Fur_and_Gold-Bat_for_Lashes_480.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="120" hspace="5" style=" -moz-border-radius: 45px; -webkit-border-radius: 45px;" />3. <strong>Bat for Lashes</strong> -- "What's a Girl to Do?" (from <em>Fur & Gold</em>)<br />
<br />
Oh Bat for Lashes. My soft spot for Natasha Khan and Co is a mile wide. The video for "What's a Girl to Do?" was my intro to Khan and hooked me instantly. Since then, Bat for Lashes has become one of my most-listened-to artists on Last.fm. Enough said.<br />
<br />
<img src = "http://www.theenthusiast.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sleigh-bells-treats-cover.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="120" hspace="5" style="-moz-border-radius: 45px; -webkit-border-radius: 45px;" />4. <strong>Sleigh Bells</strong> -- "Rill Rill" (from <em>Treats</em>)<br />
<br />
This may be my favorite track from Sleigh Bells' new album. It's got a great hooky beat and isn't as in-your-face as other tracks. Alexis Krauss' voice is mezmerizing. "Wonder what your boyfriend thinks about your braces..."<br />
<br />
<img src = "http://mixmatters.com/hot/2008/images/Tegan_and_Sara-The_Con.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="120" hspace="5" style="-moz-border-radius: 45px; -webkit-border-radius: 45px;" />5. <strong>Tegan & Sara</strong> -- "Call It Off" (from <em>The Con</em>)<br />
<br />
Here's another sweet track from a group usually a bit more in-your-face. "Call It Off" (featuring the Quin sisters) is quietly somber but still liable to get stuck in your head for the rest of the day.<br />
<br />
Here's another quick 10:<br />

It's a pretty easy-to-use feature. You just select which of the 35+ channels on Future Perfect Radio you want, press "launch channel" and we mix those channels into your own personal station!<br />
<br />
Look cool?<br />

Plus there's some new features we're STILL working on (*cough* <strong>building your own channel</strong> *cough cough*). As this is sort of a one-man operation, that meant we were slacking when it came to adding new music. NO LONGER!<br />
<br />
Here's a <strong>healthy helping of new tunes</strong>, all carefully added into the channels you love (and even the ones you just sort of like). Enough banter!<br />

We're thrilled to announce that on <strong>June 14</strong>, Future Perfect Radio will get a major facelift with plenty of new features in tow! What you see above is a sneak peek of the new homepage, which offers a smaller footprint and should <strong>load tons faster</strong> than the current FPR site.<br />
<br />
In addition to the cosmetic changes, you'll be able to find new channels by <strong>searching for artists and keywords</strong>! That means, for example, you'll easily be able to find all the Future Perfect Radio channels playing The Decemberists! We've also added lots of ways to interact with social networks like Facebook through FPR and you'll be able to <strong>build your own channels</strong>!<br />
<br />
All these changes are set to take place on <strong>Monday, June 14</strong>, so be sure to stop by! <br />
<br />
(Also, if you use an <strong>iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch</strong>, you can listen to Future Perfect Radio on the go with the free <strong><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=351425453&mt=8">AccuRadio app</a></strong>, which will receive a MAJOR update later this week with <strong>cover flow, search</strong> and lots of other great features!)Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542997868887625950noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637099817708696505.post-50350739109497302552010-05-20T13:28:00.000-07:002010-05-20T13:48:19.844-07:00Pitchfork & Austin City Limits on FPRIt's (almost) summer and that means it's time to break out sunblock for another line-up of great multi-day festivals!

He reviews the concert below!</em><br /><br />Music has a long history with politics. From appearances at national conventions to campaign rallies and protest marches, musicians showcase their talents to draw more attention to worthy causes. Such is the nature of the Nightwatchman, Tom Morello’s alter ego. He appeared at the Bottom Lounge on Friday in support of the Industrial Workers of the World, the international workers union that vehemently fights to empower employees.<br /><br /> Morello, a card-carrying member of the IWW summoned the ghosts of past musical activists to provide the generally pro-union crowd with a great night of raucous rebel music. Joining him on the bill were folk singer Bucky Halker and self-labeled Americana group the Rust Belt Ramblers.<br /><br /> Solo performances by Halker and Morello book-ended the night but that was as far as the similarities went. Halker’s sweet sounding twang delivered somber songs of hard living, social injustices, and picket lines. Holding a Ph.D in American history, Halker recited lyrical stories of such notable figures as union scab Casey Jones and anarchist Emma Goldman. He invited the Ramblers on stage to conclude the set with the little diddy “Don’t Let the Bastards.”<br /><br /> Having already warmed up, the Ramblers had an easy time of maintaining the concertgoers’ high energy level. Lead singer “Lucky” also known as Miss Bailey Dee and her leather-clad band mates cruised through their swinging set. Playing tunes off their upcoming EP “…And Dreamers We Were,” the Ramblers displayed great showmanship for such young musicians. At one time, guitarist Johnny Chastain perched himself atop the stand-up bass of Mickey T. Craft during a solo.<br /><br /> Thanks to Halker and the Ramblers, audience members were eagerly anticipating Morello’s entrance. Donning his signature cap and dark aviator sunglasses, the Nightwatchman confidently strolled on stage. From that moment, Morello proved his one-man show can rock as hard as the other super groups on his résumé.<br /><br /> Morello began with the rebellious “Flesh Shapes the Day” and got a huge reaction from an acoustic rendering of “Guerilla Radio.” The highlight of the night had to be the final song Morello would play, but he didn’t want to do it alone. To the surprise of on-lookers, Morello invited all who could fit to jump on stage and sing the timeless “This Land Is Your Land.” Staying on topic with the closing song, Morello’s parting message was, “Take it easy, but take it.” Despite having a strong political undertone, this night was all about the power of music. No one knows that better than Morello who will continue to set the bar for supporting causes that promote dignity and respect of all people.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542997868887625950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637099817708696505.post-49343759304433963452010-04-16T11:36:00.000-07:002010-04-16T12:45:55.653-07:00New Music Adds, 4/16Happy Friday dear listeners!

Future Perfect Radio correspondent Patrick Fitzell was there and reports back with his reactions and plenty of photos!</em><br /><center><br /><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdN8djd1XsXxQLa_k26quGxwoQ4po2-lpTWOyF0QyGt7p_26XXl4NxvMZy7NzwmZccCNSDgvzxzJxEuBc1gl87WqefEaYmKFTyATPbn5nSWQ4pQ7kwgUHnCYMitRdpC0TFEuhUufmPkFXU/s400/Kickback.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454165239008075138" /></center><br />There is no better deal for a night out than free live music. Chicago has few bars and clubs willing to host talented artists at no charge to the public (except maybe the cost of printing out a flyer and arriving by 9pm). The Metro provided just that kind of opportunity on Friday night. Four bands with Windy City connections rocked the walls of the moderate ballroom. Energy abounded from <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thestreetsonfire"><strong>Streets on Fire</strong></a> frontman Chadwick who began the night at a feverish pace. South Dakota natives <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thekickback"><strong>The Kickback</strong></a> (pictured above) were up to the task of maintaining the energy level raised by the "Streets" with a less frenetic but equally feisty set. It made for a smooth transition to the full and refined sound of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/glaskomusic"><strong>Glasko</strong></a> (pictured below).<br /><center><br /><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 365px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja6il_Wqtb6Ws1xQ-4oq8OKfH9CxQ5YkyLFjh_JuLnNcjTqIMT7vpcoLbiCnBBpdKZwXYW1Qpi6YMZdYv-TCOm95MXFkTVGMz2bT_Xyq4sQdQg0E7Bf5H9a1OSOjUrkZAJ3G5rTgiOvMUX/s400/Glasko.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454165042515025650" /></center><br />With family and friends watching from the balcony, Glasko was poised on stage but still managed to display some rowdy behavior. Bassist Nick Alvarado expressed sincere gratitude for the support Glasko receives wherever the group plays in the city. When their set concluded, the crowd reacted the loudest it had all night, in part, because the headliners were preparing to take the stage. After a somber tribute was read in memory of a fallen friend, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theivorys"><strong>The Ivorys</strong></a><strong></strong>' dedicated performance concluded a quality night of music. If any of these bands decide to be this generous again, I recommend taking full advantage. Whatever the price of admission, listeners will get more than expected.<br /><center><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinQXIFdI99iowMTDaljJOgRE2ytlhNPbRsq-byibmt4s1I2nm2SnAvupy0EBkbc9MdguF3vIVaKKOVr9TSVjUgsCqSVMvTFAhzWo4EaKMJuGLs93bZdvlKYgjzR5idkksqLyobK68I25xU/s400/Ivorys.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454166763133341938" />(The Ivorys)<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3zCM1PF2iHEYPXWt9qjkDOpgJHpru0hrMRv7fBF0RWkvqEJW2ERJQ1Oc4lrZ0Lo8ktecJwONZAJeqJTfhWqJSsa0BJmrt5nKinEotPpVehpM857J_ZFotRyIkEAwVFItjyOz8Ex2N05ky/s400/Kickback_2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454167029605375570" />(The Kickback)</center><br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /></span>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542997868887625950noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637099817708696505.post-60431084387434653152010-03-18T12:54:00.000-07:002010-03-26T14:18:10.820-07:00New Music Adds, 3/26Happy Friday dear listeners!

Slaraffenland - <em>We're on Your Side</em><br />24. The xx - <em>XX</em><br />23. Faunts - <em>Feel. Love. Thinking. Of.</em><br />22. Home Video - <em>It Will Be OK</em><br />21. Loney, Dear - <em>Dear John</em><br />20. Phoenix - <em>Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix</em><br />19. The Ghost Is Dancing - <em>Battles On</em><br />18. Metric - <em>Fantasies</em><br />17. Taken by Trees - <em>East of Eden</em><br />16. Black Moth Super Rainbow - <em>Eating Us</em><br />15. Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard - <em>'Em Are I</em><br />14. A Place to Bury Strangers - <em>Exploding Head</em><br />13. Apse - <em>Climb Up</em><br />12. Kings of Convenience - <em>Declaration of Dependence</em><br />11. The Depreciation Guild - <em>In Her Gentle Jaws</em><br /><br /><br /><strong>10. The Rural Alberta Advantage - <em>Hometowns</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://forcefieldpr.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/hometowns.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="RURAL" />Yes, I know <em>Hometowns</em> was first released in 2008, but it wasn't until this year that it was exposed to the world at large by Saddle Creek. I'd much rather reward the album with a "Best of" mention rather than leave it off due to a technicality. So here it is, a wonderfully dynamic album with a range of styles all connected with Nils Edenloff's unique vocals. A few tracks -- "The Deadroads," "In the Summertime," and "Don't Haunt This Place" -- stand out nicely on their own, but more importantly the entire album is listenable from beginning to end. A great band with a quaint backstory that I look forward to following in years to come.<br /><br /><strong>9. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - <em>The Pains of Being Pure at Heart</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://indiefy.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/the-pains-of-being-pure-at-heart.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="PAINS" />You'll notice The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are also on my "Over-Hyped" list below. Not because their music is bad -- quite the contrary, I love their nostalgic '80s shoegaze-ish fuzz rock. I just don't think this is all that original and sometimes I feel like the songs are formulaic. That's my hyper-critical side though. The rest of me loves this album. I'm a sucker for the feel, the wall of guitars and the accessibility of it all. It feels like a guilty pleasure of an album, but without the guilt.<br /><br /><strong>8. Bat for Lashes - <em>Two Suns</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://israbox.com/uploads/posts/2009-02/1234326717_batforlashestwosuns2009.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BAT" />I'm also a sucker for female vocals. And man, does Bat for Lashes' Natasha Kahn deliver. In <em>Two Suns</em> she runs a gambit of emotions all backed by wonderfully immersive melodies. Each song is like a world you can get lost in, making the entire album very engaging and worth quite a few listens. Hate that last song though.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>7. The Decemberists - <em>The Hazards of Love</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://thatgirlwithablog.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/decemberists.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />To be honest, I had expected whatever The Decemberists did this year to be the best album of the year, no questions asked. <em>The Crane Wife</em> is simply amazing and is one of the few albums I've never grown tired with or sick of. I don't see that happening with <em>The Hazards of Love</em>. It's an impressive album, don't get me wrong, a concept album of the 21st century that takes dedication to figure out. I saw the band perform the album from start to finish at Lollapalooza and it felt like watching an opera. And that's fine. I'm just not always in the mood for an opera. Some of the harder elements in the album didn't really gel either. That said, expecting The Decemberists to repeat themselves is like expecting to wear shorts in Chicago during winter: it just ain't goin' happen. And shouldn't because, even if piles of freezing snow aren't as fun as a nice summer day, it's still worth experiencing.<br /><br /><strong>6. Alela Diane - <em>To Be Still</strong></em><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://doubtfulsounds.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/alela1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />Alela Diane is gaining more notoriety which is wonderful, but I still think she deserves more attention. I personally liked her second effort, <em>To Be Still</em> much more than other over-hyped folk-ish albums of 2009. Her first LP, <em>The Pirate's Gospel</em> was charmingly lo-fi and DIY. That changes in <em>To Be Still</em>, which feels much smoother and more professional. That may not sound like such a great thing for all you lo-fi fans out there, but it does help bring out Diane's remarkable voice.<br /><br /><strong>5. Florence + the Machine - <em>Lungs</strong></em><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.banquetrecords.com/graphics/item/1797940.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />Speaking of remarkable voices, wow. Florence + the Machine came out of left field for me this year and floored me. People have told me they don't like this album because songs sound too much like Amy Winehouse and well I see that comparison, I also think Florence Welch's voice puts Winehouse's scratchy "talent" to shame. "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" and "Cosmic Love" are some of the most powerful and addicting songs of the year.<br /><br /><br /><strong>4. Sea Wolf - <em>White Water, White Bloom</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.rocksellout.com/storage/white-water-white-bloom.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1252804746188" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />This was perhaps one of my most anticipated albums of the year. Alex Church's <em>Get to the River Before It Runs Too Low</em> and <em>Leaves in the River</em> captivate me with their atmosphere: woodland America, or small-town middle-of-nowhere. It's not the happiest music in the world, but it's of the sort that creates a vivid world you can almost see if you close your eyes. So I was giddy to finally get my hands on <em>White Water, White Bloom</em> and ecstatic to find the same overpowering sense of place -- Church's ability to create a landscape with his music, tinged with whatever emotion the song deals with. Keep your Grizzly Bears and Monsters of Folk, I've got Sea Wolf.<br /><br /><strong>3. Passion Pit - <em>Manners</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://allthingsgo.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/passion-pit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />I love those albums that sound so happy and bouncy on the surface, but are actually depressing calls for help underneath. <em>Manners</em> is like that. It scores points for its ridiculously addictive dance rock while also adding a bit of downcast lyrical depth for those who want it. It's an album that's a bit too much at times, too bright, too falsetto, too out-of-control and has been the cause of many a headache for me. But I kept coming back because every single song is amazing. It's an album with no down time, no skippable songs. I put every track on Future Perfect Radio because I felt bad leaving any out.<br /><br /><strong>2. Mew - <em>No More Stories Are Told Today Sorry...</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://theonlythingiknowforsure.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/mew-no_more_stories.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />I'll be honest, I hadn't heard of Mew before this. Yes, I know. I'm terrible. How I could come so far without knowing and loving Mew, I don't know, but that ends now. <em>No More Stories Are Told Today…</em> is a glittering gem. The soaring instrumentals, the odd rhythms, the chilling vocals -- it all mixes together to create something weird, something beautiful, something I couldn't get out of my head.<br /><br /><br /><strong>1. The Builders and the Butchers - <em>Salvation Is a Deep Dark Well</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://elblogdearchi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/builders-and-the-butchers-2009-salvation-is-a-deep-dark-well.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />This was tough. As great a year 2009 was for music, there was nothing that stood out and said, "Yes, I am the best. No one tops me. No argument." At least for me. In the end, I picked as the #1 album the group that has me most excited not about 2009, but about the years ahead. And that's The Builders and the Butchers. <br /><br />Their <em>Salvation Is a Deep Dark Well</em> is as creepy as a Lovecraft story at times. I've compared it often to McCarthy's "Blood Meridian" for that feeling of a bloody, out of control frontier. And I love that. That's what I loved about The Decemberists, their creepy sense of warping human nature and sending a chill up your spine. That love for storytelling over simplistic outpourings of personal emotion. The lyrics are brilliant, the music addictive and perfectly arranged to meet the emotion of each song. On-stage these guys are frantic and that feeling comes through on the recording. I can't wait, absolutely cannot wait, to see what these boys from Portland have for us next. <em>Salvation Is a Deep Dark Well</em> was simply my most-listened to and absolute favorite album of 2009.<br /><br /><h2>HONORABLE MENTIONS</h2><br />UUVVWWZ - <em>UUVVWWZ</em><br />Elizabeth and the Catapult - <em>Taller Children</em><br />WHY? - <em>Eskimo Snow</em><br />Califone - <em>All My Friends Are Funeral Singers</em><br />Joker's Daughter - <em>The Last Laugh</em><br />Viva Voce - <em>Rose City</em><br />Japandroids - <em>Post-Nothing</em><br />Or, the Whale - <em>Or, the Whale</em><br /><br /><h2>OVER-HYPED</h2><br /><strong>5. Phoenix - <em>Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://www.wers.org/music/albums/reviews/images/wolfgang-amadeus-phoenix-album-cover.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />You'll notice a few of these over-hyped albums are also on my "Best of" list. That's because none of these albums are bad, quite the contrary. Some are very good. But the amount of attention they received was disproportionate with the quality of the music. Phoenix was one case: yes, many songs are brilliant and extremely pop-friendly. But the album as a whole, while excellent (#20 out of the 25 best albums of the year, in my opinion) wasn't as striking as other releases.<br /><br /><strong>4. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - <em>The Pains of Being Pure at Heart</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://indiefy.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/the-pains-of-being-pure-at-heart.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />Same here. I really liked this album (#9 overall on the Best of list) and while I haven't tired of listening to The Pains of Being Pure at Heart's music, I have tired of hearing about the band. Frankly, I don't think what they're doing is all that new and it's all pretty formulaic. They deserve praise and attention, sure, but not on the level they did this year.<br /><br /><strong>3. Animal Collective - <em>Merriweather Post Pavilion</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://scottdonaldson.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/animal_collective_merriweather.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />This one's almost too obvious to point out. Others have argued this point much better than I, but my reason is simple: I don't like Animal Collective. This album didn't help me like them. I don't see what everyone went so crazy over. That may make me lame, but there it is.<br /><br /><br /><strong>2. Grizzly Bear - <em>Veckatimest</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://roundletters.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/grizzlybearveckatimes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />I hesitate to put Grizzly Bear on here for 2 reasons. 1) Like Animal Collective, this is obvious and almost cliche. Of course it was over-hyped. 2) I do like this album. It was enjoyable and I can see how it inspires love and devotion from fans. What I can't see is the "ground-breaking" or genre-changing aspects that others have pointed out. Again, maybe this makes me lame, but I think other artists outdid <em>Veckatimest</em> this year.<br /><br /><strong>1. Monsters of Folk - <em>Monsters of Folk</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://www.cincygroove.com/images/monsters_of_folk_cd_cover.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />If anything, 2009 showed us that Good Artist + Good Artist doesn't necessarily = Good Music. Discovery is a great example, but so is Monsters of Folk. Man, what a boring album. After listening to it, I was surprised to see Monsters of Folk still popping up on magazine covers and such. Didn't anyone listen to the music? Again, other artists outdid Monsters of Folk this year and deserve the attention that was erroneously handed to this failed collaboration.<br /><br /><br /><h2>DISAPPOINTMENTS</h2><br /><br /><strong>5. Silversun Pickups - <em>Swoon</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://piano-star.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/swoon.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />I liked this album. I wanted to love it though. I was expecting Silversun Pickups' to follow up <em>Carnavas</em> with another Best of contender of an album. But <em>Swoon</em> fell short of my expectations -- which were perhaps too high. In any case, I was disappointed. Wah wah.<br /><br /><br /><strong>4. The Flaming Lips - <em>Embryonic</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://cowsarejustfood.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/the-flaming-lips-embryonic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />The Flaming Lips are one of those groups that apparently everyone likes except me. I just can't get into them. Every time they come out with a new record, I say to myself, "Yes, this time I will fall in love. I will finally see the light and grasp what indefinable element causes everyone to give themselves up to Coyne and Company." And each time I'm disappointed. It's an okay album, sure, but an okay album shouldn't become "good" or "great" just because everyone knows who the band is.<br /><br /><strong>3. Andrew Bird - <em>Noble Beast</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://onethirtybpm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/noble-beast-by-andrew-bird_6qifpgfhj4ox_full.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" /><em>Noble Beast</em>, like <em>Swoon</em>, suffered from my perhaps-too-high expectations. I really love a few tracks from Bird's latest album, but overall it's just not an album I see myself listening to more than a few times. Maybe I'm missing something. <br /><br /><br /><strong>2. Discovery - <em>LP</em></strong><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://www.directcurrentmusic.com/storage/album-covers/discovery.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1244860608092" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />Man I was excited for this one. I'm not a huge Vampire Weekend fan, but I do enjoy their music and I absolutely adore Ra Ra Riot. So a collaboration between members of both should be amazing, right? Wrong. Like Monsters of Folk, this was proof that good artists can often make very bad music. Discovery's album was pretentious, rambling and even ruined a Ra Ra Riot track. I applaud them for trying something new, but otherwise this was a huge letdown. <br /><br /><strong>1. Muse - <em>The Resistance</strong></em><br /><br /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://theurbanwire.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/muse-the-resistance.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="DECEMBER" />What happened to Muse? <em>Absolution</em> is still one of my most treasured albums for its huge guitars and roller-coaster emotional backdrop. <em>Blackholes and Revelations</em> fell short, but still is pretty darn good. Then this came along, this "album." This dungheap of a release. When they're not ripping off Queen, they're just meandering aimlessly, like maybe they'll think up a good song halfway through or something. I'll still look forward to the next album hopefully, but this was a mighty letdown. <br /><br /><br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /></span>Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542997868887625950noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637099817708696505.post-27914398831714273722009-12-11T10:37:00.000-08:002009-12-11T10:59:22.361-08:00Ars Technica: Broadcast radio only relevant in movies; make way for Internet radio<img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 223px; height: 167px;" src="http://static.arstechnica.com/slater_pump_ars.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br />"In the movies, radio is a mythic force: local, rebellious, life-changing. This hardly describes the reality at commercial radio stations today, but it does tell us something about how radio was—and about how we want it to be."<br /><br />So begins a recent article by <span style="font-style: italic;">Ars Technica</span> on radio and Hollywood. Towards the middle, it includes a <span style="font-weight: bold;">very gracious mention of Future Perfect Radio</span>. You can read it <a href="http://arstechnica.com/media/reviews/2009/12/want-real-radio-go-to-the-movies.ars/1"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><br /><blockquote>"The days of the locally oriented, brick-and-mortar commercial radio station are<span style="font-weight: bold;"> long gone</span>, replaced by automated playlists, centralized studios, and digitized personalities."</blockquote><br /><br />And while it's true Internet radio -- like Future Perfect Radio -- is mostly bereft of local live voices (for now...) it does offer more local, independent and unheard of artists. It can be changed and crafted to better fit the tastes of you -- the listener.<br /><br />The article goes on to show how movies are a place, perhaps the only place, "where vibrant, daring, local radio lives; where you can walk right into the main studio and hang out with the gurus; where the music comes from down the block, and the on-air monologues touch your soul."<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Broadcast radio simply isn't like that anymore</span>. The article goes into many well-stated reasons why, but let me sum it up for you: it's because broadcast radio <span style="font-weight: bold;">sucks</span>. It's full of bloated, washed-up artists no one actually likes while the majority of listeners are people stuck in cars with nothing better to listen to.<br /><blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"That's why an entire generation has turned to Internet sites like AccuRadio's Future Perfect Radio."</span></blockquote><br /><br />Indeed. <strong>Welcome to the future, my friends.</strong> You're part of something new, something exciting.<br /><br />Yes, you may not be able to walk into Future Perfect Radio's studios and have a chat, but you can post a comment to me on <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://facebook.com/futureperfectradio">Facebook</a>. Or shoot me an email (<a href="mailto:mschmitt@futureperfectradio.com">mschmitt@futureperfectradio.com</a>). Or catch me on Google Talk (mlschmitt23). Or send a DM my way on Twitter (<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://twitter.com/fpradio">@fpradio</a>). I'll chat. I'll listen to your ideas about the station, about the best albums of 2009, about new channels, about the weather or even the Cubs' prospects for 2010.<br /><br />So yes, Internet radio may not be there yet, but it's brand new. Give us time, <span style="font-weight: bold;">help us grow</span>, and we'll turn into the best place to hear music ever.Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12542997868887625950noreply@blogger.com0
