Like, conceptually, it's sound, but the iconography is a bit much.

well, he does have a point - the song is a bit thin. it could stand to be much more corpulent.

yeah mean we should have fattened up the sound a bit more? in the mids? or the low end?

TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH

― john cougar thornton melloncamp (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 21:13 (eighteen years ago)

Holy Hail "Dig My Grave With The Songs I've Sung" - There's a tension in this song, this audible push and pull between what this great tune would be in the hands of artists that I like, and how it is performed by the people who I have some lame grudge against. Holy Hail's yummy little voices and relatively guilt-free playing renders in chocolately miniature fun-size a song that seems built for a passionate Thanksgiving feast, and it's hard to tell whether this is simply the band performing to the fullest of their potential, or the result of timid bet-hedging. I believe that they err on the side of the former, and that they are getting by on their delicious cuteness and tasty but ultimately unsatisfying charm when even they know the song could use more juice. There's some cleverness in scaling the song down to snack-size and avoiding the obvious, and in most ways it quenches my thirst, as their reading lends some interesting breadth to the recording. It sounds like children eating out at a steakhouse in their parents' clothing; this grasp for a maturity that's just out of reach, like the proverbial carrot.

AUGUST COMPANY INDEED:

Shimura Curves "I'm Not Afraid" - Video treatment: The lovely girls of the Shimura Curves are pop scientists. You see them checking data, making measurements, working at computers, and conducting experiments in their laboratory. The lab's decor is somewhere between Apple's current design aesthetic and 60s sci-fi. The band should appear serious and diligent, but also quite beautiful and stylish. When they make declarations like "I'm not afraid of infinities" on the choruses, they make eye contact with the camera, looking both noble and matter-of-fact. There should be a certain mid-20th century propaganda art aesthetic to the entire video, though there should not be any direct appropriation of famous images. The video should end with the girls standing together at night, staring off into the night sky and pondering the cosmos. (Click here for the Shimura Curves' MySpace page.)

- Matthew Perpetua, 4/14/2006 Comments (3)

Shimura Curves "Just Like Friends" - This song begins with the beat from "Just Like Honey" (or, really, "Be My Baby"), and it's actually sort of misleading because the Shimura Curves take that familiar melancholy sound and use it is an emotional starting point for a song that eventually builds up into a bold and brutally honest post-mortem of a soured relationship. As the song reaches its crest, the Curves come off as empowered, resolute, and self-possessed as they quote Orange Juice's "Rip It Up" and rock out with a fierce guitar vamp that sounds as though it's being run through ten pedals at once. (Click here for the Shimura Curves' MySpace page.)

some questions for perpetua (since he disabled comments on his post)

i understand that you had nothing to indicate that it was or was not an unreleased demo recording--but where did you get my music? we certainly did not give it to you.

since when do mp3 blogs go out of their way to post songs they DON'T like? is this common? what is the purpose?

i won't ask you to take it down, but you should understand that there are no plans to release that version of "dig my grave" in the future. those recordings are so we can get signed, not so you can distribute and criticize.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 22:51 (eighteen years ago)

The most basic appeal of the Smashing Pumpkins comes from the way Billy Corgan strips out the dull machismo from hard rock and replaces it with sensitive androgyny and ecstatic spirituality. Like a majority of the rock stars of the early '90s, Corgan rebelled against the dude-ness of his own genre, but thanks to the unavoidable femininity of his voice and his soft baby face, he was able to depart from tradition more dramatically than the more obviously masculine likes of Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder. Unsurprisingly, one of the most dramatic, joyous, and definitive moments in the entire sprawling Pumpkins catalog comes on "Frail and Bedazzled" when he declares "all I wanted was to be a man / but since I gave up / I FEEL FREE! / I FEEL FREE! / I FEEL FREE! / I FEEL FREE!," which each iteration of those last three words seeming increasingly emphatic and liberating.

IRL CONSEQUENCES!

Girls Aloud "Sexy! No No No..." - If this is the first Girls Aloud song you've ever heard, you need to know right away that it's not even the best, or even the most intense. While most mainstream and indie rock bands are busy mewling and meowing in this decade, Xenomania has been crafting loads of pumped-up pop songs for Girls Aloud and other UK pop acts that drastically exaggerate the dynamics of both rock and dance-pop to such extremes that it makes most everything else seem relatively flat and lifeless. Xenomania isn't just trying to do a catchy tune -- they want to hijack your body and throw you around, and keep pushing you to new levels of manic elation over the course of a three minute song. Girls Aloud may seem a bit blank on the surface, but the singers are ideally suited to Xenomania's material, especially in the way they convey catty contemptuousness and a creepy sort of chick-lit nihilism.
