milton's show thread

It ain't a noise show but Matmos is opening for Slint on Thursday Mar 10 at Great American Music Hall in case you care to savor the flavor . . .

(not sure who the openers are except for gang gang dance on the night i don't have tix for)

(and i can't make it to daddy's this week to pathetically ask for list)

so this is just the new SF show thread?

we were hanging out on couch at Mayer, though I had to take off long before he went on. you, were probably dancing or something.

dancing, you say?

this conflicts with Coelacanth but worth knowing about

Sat 3/12 8:00 PM Mills College Concert Hall [5000 MacArthur Blvd Oakland]

Mephista (Ikue Mori, Sylvie Courvoisier, Susie Ibarra)
Chris Brown-Fred Frith-Shoko Hikage

[whoa! forgot they were from sf]

I'm definitely going this time because I'm a huge fan and I imagine that room will be one huge pure love reunion of everything cool about weird SF. I'm not sure if this is a show for the unconverted. Get tickets soon though if you're going.

tickets are suddenly going fast.

show at 9:30
10$ advanced and at the door (www.virtuous.com)

"...within their distinctive sound, variety abounds on "V", from "I Am The Album Cover" which channels the techno-blues rockisms of late-period ZZ Top, to the Frippertronics-ish-isms elsewhere. There's also a bit of electronic tunesmithery that's so much better than anything they did in their collaboration with Trans Am. But that's
no big stretch for this band, and for the most part "V" is heavy, rockin' Champs-at-their-best stuff, the trio dealing out rapid, tense riffing, no-denying-it's-metal-lic sheets of sound, and hard hitting drum filigree left right and center."
Aquarius
www.thefuckingchamps.com

"...squarely into the psychedelic garage punk realm, shoulder to shoulder with the likes of 60's heavies Blue Cheer, and modern-day Japanese distortion fiends High Rise. Your friends from college will understand better if you compare Comets to Monster Magnet -- they channel the same sort of MC5-ish ass-kickin' and Hawkwind-like space-
outin'."
Aquarius
www.cometsonfire.com/

"Nobody seems able to agree on just who they sound like when they rock this way, though the great MC5 are frequently mentioned. There's also a clear parallel to the New York Dolls, given that these kids are also flamboyant characters who play noisy damaged rock in New York. They've got a bit in common with the 13th Floor
Elevators, who they've been known to cover. The thing is, you could compare Oneida to just about anyone loud, violent, and a bit perverse -- Devo, The Birthday Party, The Stooges, Girls Against Boys -- and you'd be right on."
All Music
www.enemyhogs.com

"Black Mountain's recipe reeks of early Sabbath on an Appalachian psychedelic tip. The songs are intricate and cinematic . . . urgent and pleading at times . . . somber and forlorn in others. On the surface their influences dominate but underneath we hear complicated guitar parts and structure that lead us to believe that these Canucks know what they're doing. A bar band for the drug set and the
reefer addicts . . . bohemian honky tonk for those short on love rather then luck."

THERE IS NO SAFETY ZONE!

Do you get to feed Drew Daniel grapes and bring him the SFBG on a velvet cushion?

Serious-ish answer . . . "The West" is out of print, so if you see it in a used bin buy that one as you will get the highest resale value if you don't like it. From a consumer standpoint, that would be the safest choice. (it seems to be most people's favorite, for what that's worth)

description wise:

silly = Quasi-Objects
twangy = The West
conceptually "tightest" + most "pop" = A Chance to Cut
most improv = Live W J. Lesser
Matmos does medieval folk = The Civil War
harshest = Rat Relocation

eat one natto!

what's this rat relocation thingy?

Knowing my tastes, where in the city would you recommend?

(c'mon dude, you couldn't ask for an easier setup that that!)

\actually I looked up all of your recommendations and was very pleased. That was a genuinely helpful post!

when is the steve roden / john bischoff free show at sfai, frinstance?

sprawling, industrial-ish Matmos = Matmos s/t debut

I don't disown it. 1997 was a fun year.

the rat record is on the Locust label, it is part of a series with other people- everybody had to make a field recording of an urban location and then respond to it. We trapped a street rat that had been invading our house in a "have a heart" cage and recorded it screaming and trying to get out. Then we made a harsh and noisy musique-concrete-ish EP thing out of it. Now you know!

yeah I think I finally agree with you gygax, normally he just comes across as likeably simple but that comment was genuinely meanspirited.

I don't know of any good upcoming concerts not mentioned already! blevin / retreivers is tomorrow night, bischoff / roden is sometime in april, boredoms autechre bzzt. looking good for dat politics in late may. gygax how's that books show looking?

Fred is Fred. I think you and your wife would have a great time at this lovely local event. I might go as well if I'm not coughing up blood ponies that night.

What do you think she was talking about? Throbbing Gristle?

Dean: not sure offhand, are you visiting?

I know there's a Sightings / AFrames show Friday night at the Hemlock (?) but I think we'll be too tired after the ballgame.

WHERE IS DREW DANIEL?

if that's the show dengue's playing with neung phak, the latter band does a live show that's good and weird. I dunno about dengue.

ruth and joe semi-conductor are in town and doing a show at pfa on sept 7: http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/pfa_programs/semicond/index.html

they're also doing a show with people like us at ATA sometime in november, which I'm v. much looking forward to.

but these are FILLUM places!

is this something I might like?

also, definitely tempted by this, just to actually get to see her:

Kronos Quartet + Asha Bhosle, Sept. 22-23, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater

also, MTT's playing orchestral Feldman with Mahler's Fifth (best season-ticket-holder sucker punch he's done since the Scelsi + Monteverdi show), Sept. 28-Oct. 2, I'm goin'. Have not heard the Feldman piece ("I Met Heine on the Rue Fürstenburg").

also visited that magnificent oriental fantasy palace.

Have you seen the pier since it collapsed? I think you'd appreciate the sight.

I didn't pick up on this. I love Asha Bhosle. We shall see if I have any $$$ left after my trip.

"The West Pier partially collapsed on December 29, 2002 when a walkway connecting the concert hall and pavilion fell into the sea after being battered by storms. On January 20, 2003 a further collapse saw the destruction of the concert hall in the middle of the pier. On March 28, 2003 the pavilion at the end of the pier caught fire. Firefighters were unable to save the building from destruction because of the precarious state of the walkway. The cause of the fire remains unknown. On May 12, 2003, another fire broke out, consuming most of what was left of the concert hall. Arson was suspected. On June 23, 2004 high winds caused the middle of the pier to completely collapse.

Despite all these setbacks, the owner of the site West Pier Trust remained adamant they would soon begin full restoration work. Finally, in December 2004, the trust admitted defeat, after their plans were rejected by English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund. They still hope to rebuild the pier in some form, though restoration is no longer their goal."

I want to go back, I could live in Brighton, there's a healthy respect for decay.

playing here in oct 7th

Will there be another?

Inca Ore is playing grandma's house tomorrow night & there's another Semiconductor show at 21 grand in january. You really should see their live video piece before they leave town, it's really something.

We'll discuss Brighton rock and the vagaries of the lanes.

would love a transcript or recording of that. I should just buy it.

& Meredith Monk is coming up -- and Glass playing the soundtracks to the Qatsi trilogy live at Davies is kinda tempting.

Milton have you heard Pousseur's "Paysages Planetaires"? I read a rev of it last month.

If I get hold of an MP3 I'll revive the noise ysi thread.

http://www.mimaroglumusicsales.com/browsebyartist.php?artistlast=pousseur&artistfirst=henri&arraynum=826&limit=20

also, thanks again for that Richard Barrett cdr from a ways back -- I played a set with a colleague of his Jodi Gilbert last night, I was glad to have the context.

Pousseur is quite intriguing, what with being part of the whole Darmastadt crowd and then going his own way (as a few did). It'd be nice to see how his current music has turned out.

you should think twice before you say something like this. last night's show had a mostly lit loft with a few colored lights and a chandelier above the bands. the fucking dumbshit dj thought he'd be cute (i think he actually thought he was doing a good job) by flicking the lights on and off. it wasn't ever even in rhythm or during exciting moments.

I'm trying to find the comment about "nuts"...

Do you remember what that guy said in the liquor store, I can't remember...?

I've heard side 2 of Canaxis more than a few times and I still can't remember a single second of it.

If you like Zazen Boys, there's a small chance you might like Mukai Shutoku's previous band Number Girl (but probably not, they're pretty indie-rock).

Their first album was pretty epic. Here's the first single:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmPWBchXjcU

the vocals aren't the main draw for me with Zazen Boys, it's more the stop/start prog rhythms -- I know it's just as much RHCP as Ruins, but Yoshida should be getting royalties for 'Cold Beat'. I dunno if I'm a full on Zazen fan yet though.

Ruins are playing with AMT on sept 8th at bottom of the hill!

hm didn't notice wobbly

Goodbye Blue Monday: cute inside (and by cute I mean "decorated with 30 yrs of stuff collected by slightly crazy person" so actually it's pretty cool), but it's basically just a coffee shop that sells beer.

Silent Barn is an enjoyable mess. People do actually live there, so the bathrooms & general conditions are fine-to-tolerable and I find people there usu very friendly, the vibe is good. Can't rly speak on the sound cos I always end up seeing noize-ish shows there so who can tell?

Don't know the Tank.

what about glasslands..i can get contact info for whats her name

hm didn't notice wobbly

see 10pm friday.

no one's meant to notice that guy, I think

thanks Laurel! that's more concrete info than I've been able to glean in a half-dozen phone calls. & e-mailing bb shortly

note matmos blurb:

For this concert they will present their “cover” of “The Backyard”, the final act of the Robert Ashley tele-opera “Perfect Lives{, and some newer pieces that focus on pure electronic music. Expect some improvisation and some guest shenanigans.

yes, i was assuming you would possibly be involved in guest shenanigans as well?

exciting!

eep..lemme send an email of my own

jaxon: i'm kinda addicted to Olivia Newton John's "Magic"
shasta: yesssss
jaxon: i was making an extended re-edit of it last night but audacity crashed on me
shasta: it's very BeeGees dream-disco
jaxon: yes. done by ELO
shasta: i think milton used to DJ an edit of it... years ago....
jaxon: oh yeah?
shasta: pre-[CONTROVERSIAL MODERATOR EDIT]
shasta: i went to see Milton DJ it the day i met [CONTROVERSIAL MODERATOR EDIT].
jaxon: ah
jaxon: i should ask him
shasta: definitely
shasta: haha, look at the first post in this thread: milton's show thread
jaxon: ha. funny
shasta: i think i made this thread the night i came home from that show.

does this song milton played exist?

i seem to remember it was pitch-warbled and perhaps mashed up with perhaps "Jabdah" or something equally extraterrestrial.

you mean GYGAX made this thread

(RIP)

that was around the time Gygax was experimenting with body transference

no tapes from that night but I remember "Magic" went well with Parmegiani's "Dedans-Dehors 4", & my favorite moment "Electric Avenue" pitched -12% + Pandit Pran Nath + "Broken Calliope" from A Collection of Rare Musical Devices of the Last Century

why don't I get asked to DJ more often

btw this is the gig for this Saturday, I'll be there after I check out the first half of the Helmut Lachenmann show at Mills

http://a110.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/124/l_23fb371a46b8413512572d89c0a9aa05.jpg

maybe i plan a giant new year's/bday party next year with lots of djs?

if I'm in town that does sound fun
