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]
Lore of Moments with three trios:
Mephista (Ikue Mori, Sylvie Courvoisier, Susie Ibarra)
Chris Brown-Fred Frith-Shoko Hikage
India Cooke-Alan Kimara Dixon-Kele Nitoto

[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.

"...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!)

But please do come, I'm going to DJ and so is my brother Matt Sussman and so is Safety Scissors and Conor and TK Disco. It's only 5 bucks and it's all about disco dancing.

Please enjoy!

Chas Smith at godwaffle, no fucking around

i wanted this to be in nyc u_u

check The Stone's calendar feb 21-23

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

shit you can dj for me anytime!

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

thinking of this for friday
