It's a bit ironic,\nwhen everything between the cover and the\never-present Zulu ad, is changing. July saw the\nretirement of beloved classic Fucking Bullshit,\nwhile August introduced a new DIY-or-die column\npresented by the Seamrippers. This month marks\nthe final Panarticon, and the last-ever Kick\nAround, not to mention the second full colour\npin-up calendar, with art by Aurel Schmidt.\nThose keen of eye might notice the absence of\nStrut, Fret and Flicker, but they're not to worry-\nPenelope's take on the local arts scene will be\nback next month. It's not like she was deported\nor arrested for smuggling or anything like that.\nWe ran what I believe is our first article on Dave\nEmory, 'cause listening to CiTR isn't just about\nlosing the signal between Alma and Main\nStreet, or hearing You are the Quarry on repeat\nbetween three to six AM every night. It's also\nabout drinking with your friends and learning\n. about Nazis, which is why we included the \"For\nthe Record\" drinking game. We understand that\nthe show is on during traditionally non drinking-\ngame hours, but we want to encourage you to\nexpand your horizons.\nFor those of you who confine their boozing to\nthe dark, CiTR's Shindig! makes an excellent\nvenue for this, and there's beer for jokes to boot.\nMeander down to the Railway Club on Tuesdays\nand check it out (while yours truly pines in a night\nclass). If dancing's more your thing, don't miss\nthe Evaporators/Cinch/Penguins show at the SUB\nparty room October 15. It's a station fundraiser, so\nif you don't show, you're just pounding another\nnail 'm the-coffln, you know? It's all ages, by the\nway. And hey, if you really, really insist on hearing\nrecorded music, swing by the Pit Pub Thursday\nnights when our finest DJ's are released-from the\nCiTR stable to strut their stuff on the turntable.\nIt's a night in the Pit when the music won't suckl\nDiscerning readers of the DiSCORDER should at\nleast consider showing up. Gotta encourage\ngood music in public places.\nBetween the fall harvest of good albums, the\nrad concert season ahead of us (Le Tigre! PJI\nMagnetic Fields!), the Vancouver International\nFilm Festival, a week of Rheostatics' gigs, CiTR's\nplenteous offerings of music and cheer, and the\nneed to eat, sleep, and bathe, I'm not entirely\nsure how we're going to survive. The stars are\naligned, and musically, at least, this \"no-fun\"\ncity's been turned on its head.

The book strikes a blow,\nbut you, with your book strike the outside world\nwith an equal blow. We cannot write in any other\nway\u00E2\u0080\u0094without slammjng the door, without cutting\nthe ties.\" -Helene Cixous, Three Steps on the\nLadder of Writing\nThe essay expanding into verbose\nnothingness. A column of exhaled air supporting\nnothing. Eventually, you pull out the knife and\nchop. Slice & reduce. Writing is painful, it is the art\nof pain rendered through the sign. Not symbolic\nmasochism, but the masochist tied & whipped by\nhis symbols. You are held to your words.\nDiscorder is. clinging on. It has axe-handled at\nthe same moment as my departure. Meaning: yes,\nthis is the last Panarticon, number 35 to be exact,\njust about three years worth and beatmatching\nthe end of Fucking Bullshit. It's been a long;\nstrange trip through seven years of affiliation with\nthe radio beast known as CiTR 101.9FM and its\nproxy paper magnate. In the manner of all \"last\ncolumns,\" I must recount: from the APEC '97 Nooze\nteam to (successful) Referendum fever. President,\nBOD, noiz-r, PARTICLE & Limpsink 2.0; one new\nstudio, eight editors (give or take), three program\ncoordinators and two station managers. CiTR is the\nwashing machine of its time. Will it survive?\nThe radio future is digital. Paper's future is\nTOBIAS C. VAN VEEN\nuncertain. Recent moves by a new Discorder staff\nto get all \"indie\" might feed the short-term but the\nforecast projects obscurity & eventual demise.\nBarbara Andersen, praise her Are, brought \"That\nMagazine from CiTR 101.9FM\" out into the great\nopen (no blood drawn in a war of the roses). But\nthe open is a tough place to be, especially if\nyou're new to the deterritorialization game.\nGiven that the magazine risks representing\nall-indie, all-the-time, it could become the paper\nhit-thing of its pseudo-generation, like one of those\nOldies radio stations. It's not the worst thing to\nhappen, but close. A run-out groove slotted on the\nunused band of a frequently forgotten spectrum.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094There is an answer: and behold!\nCapitalism represents the perverse\nmovement of the form we all love to hate.\nThere is no reason why Discorder can't forego\nits parochial, backwater regionalism, its petty\nscenester politik. Discorder can re-imagine itself\nas a hub of independent global coverage across\nall outlets of non-commercial music scenes. And\nnot only music. Music isn't just music anymore\nand never has been. While we all know that the\nmergence of technology with the streetscape is\nproducing hybrid forms, we don't yet know how\nto write about it. None of which signals a positive,\n\"futurist\" stance to technocracy: its critique lies\nnot in the hands of some academic enterprise,\nbut right here, in this beat-up, stained, newspaper\nstrength rag. And you can do it: you can sign\nup and get involved and pitch and volunteer\nand write. If Discorder is to move, it must not only\nacknowledge the paradigm but craft and shape\nit. If we want print (though not necessarily made\nfrom a tree) in a digital world of implanted adverts,\nthen Discorder will be all the more necessary.\nIt must operate at the excess of the generative.\nEvaluate these moments and get in the thick of\nthe thin. Start writing, and the bruises & cuts will\nheal the addictive taste of pain.\nAt CiTR, there is an ancient motto inscribed\non the wall in black ink pen from the Sage of Yore\n(apparently Nardwuar): Love Thy Station.\nThere are two ways to die: by taking a risk, or\nby withering away in the same-old, and the body\nrotting off its shackles, mold & decomposition.\nDeath on the vine in the great parable of Thomas\nMann. Or, headlong off the cornice into fame,\nfortune and a timed burn-out. Either way, you\ncan't avoid the Great Extinguisher. HST called it\n\"The Great Magnet.\" Mann, Death in Venice.\nVancouver has grasped its early demise and\nalready sanctioned it in the name of the 2010\nOlympiad. Luckily, culture is revving into some\nkind of froth as the date approaches. Dead since\nits industrial-acid house days, since the year of\n1986 wherein EXPO destroyed qn entire bastion of\nwarehouses, fertile grounds of the counter-culture,\nthere arise new zombies counter-point to the\nconsumed bodies of George A.

Which is a good thing. D Riff Raff\nOctober is all about tricks and treats, so why\ndon't we give you some in the form of ear\ncandy? Sonically sweet. The Immortal Lee County\nKillers kick off this month's latest additions to the\nvinyl vault by giving us the splendid Bo Dlddley\nbounce of \"Sonic Angel\", complete with keys\nand a swampy, hot Southern ode to a mistress.\nAnd on the flip, a live-to-micro-cassette version\nof a ILCK show staple, \"Sympathy For The Devil\",\nwhich allows for more boogie chillun and a\nscorching guitar solo from Fu Manchu head\nhesher Eddie Glass. Not usually a fan of live\nrecordings, but I'll give this one a nod, only for the\neffort to capture two men hell bent on making a\npretty common tune a hip-shakin', gear-grindin'\ngood time. (Munster Records, www.muhster-\nrecords.com).\nIt's always a treat to discover new bands\nthat blow you away on first listen and The Red\nOnions from LA. have done just that, but I had\nto hear their CD EP first, before managing to\ntrack down an earlier seven inch of much rawer\nquality. These four Latinos have managed to,\nin a very short amount of time, turn Los Angeles\non its ear and create what will be the most\ntalked about resurrection of \"funkpunk\" (and\nI don't mean the Infectious Grooves kind) in\nrecent memory. Marrying the best elements of\nStooges-esque bravado with incredibly catchy\nMeters-style hooks, fhe platter in question is two\nsongs that shake, quake and vibrate with such\nurgency that you can't help gettin' down like\nJames Brown and lie kin' the floor like Iggy would\ndo. \"Live Wire\" and \"Sexy Thang\" are only a\ntaste of the much sharper production and tighter\nsongwriting evident on their EP, but sometimes\nyou gotta look forward to go back, or whatever\nthe saying is. (Revenge Records, no address\ngiven, but try their S/T EP on Fat Possum).\nNow The Mooney Suzuki have been in my\nbad books for a little while, after releasing the\nmediocre Electric Sweat LP and a waste of-\nvinyl-seven inch last year that could have been\nbetter used as a way to patch a loose spot on my\ngirlfriend's vintage couch, but I digress. Lo and\nbehold, that band that claims to be \"Number\nONE!\" (at least that's what the email they sent-\nme says) is back with a new album (produced\nby the friggin' Matrix, WTF?), and the lead-off\nsingle is \"Shake That Bush Again\", which I have to\nconcede is a pretty happenin' track, a rewed-\nup soul shouter that has the sex appeal to make\nthe girls undoubtedly want to shake whatever it is\nthey got again and again. So why did they have\nto go and ruin this with a throwaway instrumental\non the B-side? Their stab at blaxploitation\nsoundtrack sampling is better found sandwiched .\nbetween cuts on the album, not as a single.\nSpeaking of the album, read my review on that in\nthis here magazine for my ruminations on whether\nor not The MS are indeed Alive And Amplified\nand not dead and buried with their latest record.\n(Columbia Records, but don't bother-save your\nmooney for a new couch).\nTurning our attention to the city of Edmonton\nand the two twosomes known as Whitey Houston\nand The Vertical Struts, we've got double the\nreason to give them some ink here. Whitey and\nGravy (bass and drums respectively) pound\nthrough two numbers of the fuzzed-out, floor-\nshakin' variety, kinda reminiscent of another duo\nyou may know as Death From Above 1979, but\nwith a little less facial hair. The Vertical Struts offer\nup lo-fi blues that plays like Doo Rag (remember\nthem, anybody?}, as \"Plans For Her\" has that\nsame type of skittish guitar work that Bob Log\nis now renowned for. Bther way, you've got a\ncouple winners here, and both bands are close\nenough that they can tour our way (which\ncoincidentaHy, both have), so make sure to catch\nthem next time they're out. (Contact Whitey at:\nwhitey@vueweekly.com. The VS courtesy of: The\nHouse Of Queenie, No.2 7625 115 St. Edmonton,\nAB Canada T6G1N4).\n\"Who killed The Zutons?\" You may be asking\nyourself after picking up the latest piece of crap\nthat is their first album. The answer: \"Please let\nit be me...oh let it be me.\" This single (\"Pressure\nPoint\" bAv \"Zutonkhamuun\") offers me nothing\nbut a headache and no words to describe how\nlame this actually is. Death threats can be sent to\nEpic Records. If I sound angry, I apologize, but for\nShoplifting, they make no excuses on their seven\ninch, which is a pseudo-disco art punk protest\nwith a message that's not to be taken lightly; just\nlisten to \"Talk Of The Town\" with lyrics conveniently\nincluded, so you can stomp, shout and work it\non out with the rest of us.

The following films are\nrecommended because 1) I've seen them, 2)\nI believe they're worth your time, 3) they will still\nhave screenings by the time this issue is out and\n4) of the many features and documentaries\nfulfilling the above criteria^ they're all that this\nheartbreakingly constrained space allows. In the\nend, I had to flip a coin.\nBEAUTIFUL BOXER (Thailand)\nI don't usually fling around descriptors\nlike \"uplifting\" and \"something for everyone\"\nunless I'm being an ironic cow, but this dramatic\nfeature about a real-life kickboxing champion\nis all that, and at the same time, utterly cool.\nThat Nong Toom, as he was known, should have\npursued such a career in order to finance his own\nsexual reassignment surgery makes every detail\nhypersigniflcant, yet both the comedy and the\nphilosophical insights are as delicate as a temple\ndancer's hand gesture. The almost universal\nacceptance and support that Toom received\nfrom \"real\" females is beautifully observed, as\nis the loaded issue of panic-stricken, macho\nhomophobes trying to beat the shit out of a\ntransvestite in the boxing ring. The fight scenes\nare glorious, of course, with the camera tracking\nevery move like a nimble referee; and there's a\nmiraculous performance from a first-time actor in\nthe lead role. The film's only downside is that it's\nthe sort of thing Hollywood might want to remake.\nThe possibility is too hideous to contemplate. {Oct\n6, 7pm, Vogue)\nIMAGINING ULYSSES (Ireland)\nSure it's the fat, rich tome by James Joyce\nthat's being savoured here. And don't let not\nhaving read the thing keep you away. One of\nthe central hooks in this collaboration to mark\nthe centenary of Bloomsday is that not a lot of\npeople have\u00E2\u0080\u0094and that Joyce and his novel have\nbecome institutionalized to the point where most\nIrish don't feel they need to. Running parallel\nto the book's Odyssey-like structure, the film is\ndivided into 18 short episodes which follow the\nprogress of one Stephen Dedalus as he walks\nthrough Dublin, but this thread is almost lost in\nthe welter of everything else that gets packed\nin. Not that it matters. Events in Joyce's life are\nwonderfully illuminated with both narration\nand vintage photos of family, Dublin street life\nand Edwardian pom; literary heavies drop in for\nenlightening commentary (director Neil Jordan is\nespecially pithy); and we're treated to some truly\ndreadful mock-talk shows and sitcoms dedicated\nSearching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus\nto things Joycean. At times, the documentary's\nwild jig between reverence and populism is more\nJarring than cheeky, but its aim is true. The most\nmoving side-trip concerns a Chinese couple who\nbegan translating Ulysses into Mandarin just in time\nto incur the wrath of Chairman Mao. After public\nfloggings and years in labour camps\u00E2\u0080\u0094 they finally\ncompleted their labour of love in 1994. A quarter\nmillion copies have been sold\u00E2\u0080\u0094and you can bet\nthey've been read.

The worldly hickster became their\ndrawling, straw-hatted Mephistopheles on a\njourney through the back roads of the American\nSouth. The resulting film wraps you in a fecund\nweirdness reminiscent of last year's Piggie, but\nbecause it's a documentary, this is a lot scarier. In\na place where \"the most ordinary conversation ...\nhas a theological basis,\" folks are tethered to the\nco-dependent poles of religion and sin; and it's\nWhite's personal quest for a way to reconcile the\ntwo that sets our itinerary. The ramblings of locals\nand illuminating dissertations on southernness from\nmusicians such as Jimmy Dowd, White himself and\nalt-country darlings The Handsome Family keep us\nriveted, but it's the music (from all of the above\nand more) that puts the gas in the tank and\nmakes you want the trip to last forever. There's a\ngood reason why DISCORDER is the proud sponsor\nof this film. (Oct 5, 9:45pm, Granville 2)\nTHE NOMI SONG (Germany)\nLike all satisfying documentaries, this\nengaging look at rock music's quintessential alien\nis about more that its subject. By the time Klaus\nNomi's popularity had hit its zenith in the early 1980s,\nthe android get-ups and robotic choreography\nwere just set dressing for an otherness, which the\nGerman pixie already carried with him when he\nlanded in New York City a decade earlier. Armed\nwith classical voice training from a Berlin music\nacademy, he honed his falsetto (at a time when no\none was hiring countertenors) to a pitch that was\npure cabaret. No wonder, then, that East Village\nscenesters discovered and claimed him as one\nof their own. In one of many info-rich reminiscences\nfrom veterans of the era, performance diva Ann\nMagnuson recalls the night she stumbled out of\nMax's Kansas City to find Nomi by a dumpster\nsinging an aria. Weil-integrated footage from\nthe alternative vaudeville scene makes obvious\nwhat the talidng heads freely admit: while they\nwore their trash aesthetic like a badge of honour,\nKlaus was a genuine artist. Most distressing to\nwatch are the compromises that Nomi made as\nhe began to groom for the big time\u00E2\u0080\u0094and the film\ndocuments this subtle artistic derailment wtttvltttie\ncomment. David Bowie's brief involvement, for\ninstance, feels almost parasitic, and one gets the\nsense that Nomi may have been better off without\nit. A fascinating slice of art rock history. The Nomi\nSong also whispers a lament for those artists whose\ncurse has been to arrive both too late and too\nsoon.

What you may not know is that Bidini is also\nan author, and he's coming (in both guises) to Vancouver.\nBidini got his start writing for his high-school paper, interviewing up-and-coming bands (like the\nRamones, for example). His first book. On a Cold Road, documented the unique experience of touring\nin Canada. Two books about sports, 2000's Tropic of Hockey and\n2004's Baseba/fes/mo followed. This fall sees a fourth book from the * *, ._, *\u00C2\u00B1\nplaid-suited powerhouse: a guide for kids who wanna rock. And ||\nwhen I say kids, I mean kids, children, the wee humans you see in\nelementary school and junior high.\nAt a time when the music industry specifically targets the\nyouth market and makes a ton of money off of it,' it's a relief to\nsee someone offer kids a level-headed, honest introduction as\nto what it's like being in a band. Bidini points out that \"making\nit\" is a relative idea, and that this year's American Idol probably\nwon't hang around for the long run. He stresses the idea that it's\nnot about the clothes, the gear, or getting signed\u00E2\u0080\u0094in the end, it's\nabout making the music you want to make. With the airwaves\nclogged by Brittany and Avril clones, this isn't something kids can\nhear enough of. He also covers the practical matters, from where\nto meet like-minded aspiring musicians, to surviving the emotional\nwreckage of touring, to finding the perfect band name. This book\nis intended for young readers, but Rheostatics fans who read it will\nfind references to the early days of the band, Etobicoke and the\nAlbion Mall.\nDave will be reading at the Vancouver International Writer's\nFestival on October 21 (event 15) and 22 (event 29). The Rheostatics\nare releasing their twelfth album, 2067, on October 5th on True North\nRecords. They will be playing five (five!) shows at the Media Club\nOctober 19-23.\nFor further information go to www.writersfest.bc.ca and\nwww.rheostatics.ca.\nKat\nFunny hat, big bat. Dave Bidini\nCurious Scotland: Tales From A Hidden History\nGeorge Rosie\nGranta Books/Raincoast Books\nSince I've been digging up my roots a bit\nlately, I've noticed my lack of knowledge about\nthe Scottish part of my heritage. So, when I saw this\nbook I had to jump at it.\nGeorge Rosie doesn't try to teach Scottish\nhistory the way history is usually taught\u00E2\u0080\u0094with a\nbunch of dates that seem meaningless when\nthey're taken out of context to fit into a neat\nchronology. Rather, he explores Scottish history\nthe way I like my histories\u00E2\u0080\u0094a series of semi-\nchronologicai vignettes that may seem random in\nsome ways, but that help to illustrate the patterns\nof a people like piece in a puzzle. Rosie goes deep\non context and helps give a better understanding\nof the Scots\u00E2\u0080\u0094from their fiercely independent\nnature as illustrated in the chapters on wars with the\nCelts and Romans and Angles, to the value of their\nnow-forgotten or vitlifled heroes like John Knox and\nhow these men helped shape modern Scotland,\nto the way they've made heroes out of their old\nvillains like Mary Stuart, to how Scotch influence\nhas helped shape the rest of the world from the\nfluid kind of Scotch influence during prohibition to\nhow Robert Burns' descendants participated in\nthe British Empire's trades. And there's lots in here\ntoo about how non-Scots perceive us and have\nthroughout the years.\nThere's humor, there's tragedy, there's plain\nold human stupidity just as in any other history you\ncould ever find, but what sets this book apart is\nRosie's superb storytelling skills, bringing each\nperson to life in a very convincing manner (unlike\nthe one dimensional portrayals common to the\nkind of history we learned in school.) It reminds me\na lot of my first teacher of Scots history\u00E2\u0080\u0094my high\nschool physics teacher, a proud Highlander who\nwas the first one to ever make it seem like being\nScottish, even in part, was the least bit good or\nfunny or interesting.

Apparel.\nDance and General Skullduggery\nVoltaire\nWeiser Books/Raincoast Books\nSo you're like me and you know you're\nbasically a Goth and you know some bands you\nlike and your wardrobe is 99% shades of black,\nbut you still get kind of hung up when you have\nto explain Goth to a normal. You know in your\ngut what it means, but not how to explain that.\nOkay, here's funny Goth singer/writer Voltaire to\nyour rescue with some history, lots of anecdotes,\nand some vocabulary to give a precise scientific\ndefinition of Goth. Of course, you could just give\nthe normal an evil stare from behind those heavily\nmade up eyes, but maybe you're too tired today\nafter being out at a club all night, or writing poetry\nall night searching for that perfect phrase to\ncapture your angst.\nIn either case, this book can help you.\nThere's tips on how to bitch about the DJ at the\nclub, dance instructions for the double left-footed,\nfashion tips to help you look your spookiest when\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 there, and for you poets, if you just can't write any\nthing angsty today because your cousin brought\nover her cute little puppy and you couldn't resist\nits charms, have no fear - there's also a goth poem\ngenerator. (There's also a Goth name generator,\nbecause it really sucks to have written the ultimate\nGoth opus and have to sign it \"George Smith.\")\nAnd for you history buffs, yes there is a brief\nhistory of the actual Gothic tribes of Germanic\npeople way back when, to show how the word\nevolved from them to us.\nBasically, this cool little tome is a veritable\nguidebook to Goth. As for the question in the title,\nwell, you'll just have to read it yourself to discover\nthe true answer. (And no peeking ahead to the\nlast page! You'll miss all the fun stuff like how to not\nget cavity searched at US airports.)\nDrake\nDamned: An Illustrated History of the\nDevil\nRobert Muchembled\nSeuil Chronicle Books/Raincoast\nBooks\nJust in time for Halloween, that most devilish\ntime of the year, comes a book that tells a little\nbit of the story of Satan, if nothing of his presumed\nholiday. And yes, I say \"a little bit\" because the\n\"Illustrated\" part of the title is the real key. Damned\nis filled with all sorts of demonic and sin-related\nimages from Western art history, and I think this is\nthe true value of the book.\nSo, the art. Included here are some of the\nmasterworks of Western art, and lots of other works\nby the masters in question. From the surrealist\nmonsters of Hieronymous Bosch's depictions of\nHell to the hilarious little etchings in the nineteenth\ncentury when the Devil wasn't really feared in a\nliteral sense anymore, there is a lot to look at here,\nand for a painter like myself this is a valuable\nresource of evil iconography.\nThere were, however, a couple of glaring\nexternalization versus internalization of blame for\nbaser instincts, and like I said, the art is awesome. It\nalone is more than worth the price.\nDrake\nomissions to my eye. First, there\nnothing of the thriving Devil in\ncommercial art from the Fifties\nand Sixties when the Evil One was\nused to hawk everything from\nhot sauce to gum. Maybe it's not\nthe most significant philosophical\nreference, but it is a major\nsource of relatively recent visual\ndepictions, and I thinksome should\nhave been there. Secondly,\nand this was foreshadowed by\na dismissive and stereotypical\nreference to murderous devil\nworshippers on page 167, there\nis no acknowledgement of the\nwork of actual Satanic artists.\nSure, there aren't many of them\nin the art world in general, but\nin terms of artists who are using\ndevilish subject matter, they're a\nfairly large contingent, and it isn't\ntoo hard to find out about Coop\nor Diabolus Rex Church's work\nvia an easy internet search. And\nCoop is certainly becoming well\nknown with his work on everything\nfrom T shirts to CD covers to his\nvery own devil-art coffee table\nbook. But, omitting them seems\nto support the author's premise\nhat no one bothers much with\nthe devil today and evil has\nbeen internalized etc. (hence\nlots about non-Devil related\nhorror flicks in the end as though\nthat was the end of the topic.)\nThere isn't even much about the\ncomics, with their semi-demonic\nvillains and/or heroes.\nNonetheless, the author\ndoes make some good (albeit\nobvious points) about the nature\nof human reaction to fear and\n: virtually\nThe Brickyari\n1 The Cinch, Pink Mountaintops, Bella\n2 Niel Hamburger, Pleeseeasaur\n9 Canned Hamm, Smell Of Steve,\nSteve Steveston, Phat Farm\n15 DOA, The Rebel Spell and guests\n21 Electric Frankenstien, Nasty On,\nRed Hot Lovers*\n23 Soulscar CD release with Omegacrom, |\nAngel Grinder\n29 Zuckuss and guests\n30 The Almighty Punchdrunk, Cyanotic, ||\nAmong The Betrayed\nThe PiC Pub 622 West Pender Street\n15 Farewell To Freeway, Pure Blank\nA Murder Of Crows\n20 Bedouin Soundclash\n21 King Cobb Steelie and guests\n23 Staggerd Crossing and guests\n28 Moneyshot, Rio Bent and guests\n30 Cuff The Duke and guests\nThe Red ROOm 398 Richards Street\n29 Zeke, Black Halos and guests*\n * tinkers (8> Zulu Snratnh Bed Rat Nnh DiSCORDER OCTOBER 2004\nMadame Wang: I have panic attacks. Having had one Just yesterday.\nIt Is an inexplicable feeling of wanting to rip out of bed and run out\nof my house. Maybe it's a sign I need to get out more.\nWhatiseshod?\nMadame Wang: It is a semi-collective. A core of five members\n(Madame Wang, Crow-box One-string, Solar Warrior, Hypolyte,\nCorvid Lorax), guest MC's (23 Ends), and instrumentalists (Daniel\nBuxom, Joaqchim). We want to be something different, and we're\nslowly finding out within our group what we can all do to make\nthat a reality. It's rather ironic that I'm in a project like this because\nI still consider it rather conventional. But I'm trying to change that.\nIt is challenging trying to make music for 4 or 5 different MC'S that\nhave all different styles. It's more fun than making music by yourself.\nWhen left alone it's kinda like the idle-hands-devil's-work thing.\nOur EP, We Are That We Are, is not really indicative of us as a live act.\nOur second album. Internal Mindscheme, is definitely a concept\nalbum and it is a little closer to some of the stuff we do live. But it has\na more experimental edge to it for sure... It satisfies my experimental\ncravings.\nHypolyte: Experiment is every time I sit in a space with my collective\nand the jam emerges out of nowhere, and suddenly I wanna be\nJack White. Experiment is the whole experience of eshod. Listen to\nInternal Mindscheme\u00E2\u0080\u0094Madame Wang took an idea and turned\nevery entry on that album into an experience in experiment.\nWe are still finding our ground. We all come from different places\nwhere our talents developed and eshod is a manifestation for all of\nus as a vehicle to present those talents. Its intentions...music music\nmusic music music, knowledge passed down through the love\nof our art and the composition of our varied styles of rythym and\npoetry\u00E2\u0080\u0094reestablish the definition of rap\u00E2\u0080\u0094(s)he should have been\nwiser...\nHow does having organic instrumentation change the music?\nHypolyte: It gives it the life of a thousand years. Fuck 4/4\u00E2\u0080\u0094find a\ndrummer, a bassist, and some horns\u00E2\u0080\u0094go back to the basics\nand suddenly the expression takes on new elements of sound,\nresonance, acoustics, intention. Poetry seems to best match\norganic instrumentation only because the spaces between, the\nnoodling and dramaticies, give word new dimension. People can\nrelate to that scene of a three piece band and some form of lyricist\non the m+c.\nAre the words you speak poetry?\nHypolyte [his voice always sounding of it]: You tell me. Rip into the\ni inside paper\u00E2\u0080\u0094very natural and unnatural at the same\ntime\u00E2\u0080\u0094black hole literally in a figurative sense\u00E2\u0080\u0094comprehend?

Something of my presence lingers\nso' close to touch with fingers picking through stem to root so\nmassive yet still minute compared to the fruit of it all\u00E2\u0080\u0094yes mama I\nhave the gall to take the fall\u00E2\u0080\u0094heaven to earth, it's hell.\nI have a hard time defining where that places in literary regards.\nMy words are my world. I write words that are directly lifted from\nmy world, both internally and externally. I write in weird tangents\nabout instances in my day, interactions with people, reflections of\nmy mind's eye. I have d*piece that starts off, \"These words find\nFife beyond my mighty attempts to murder the vocabulary.\" Once\nthe words are on the page it is as if they are their own being. I will\nread a piece six months after writing it and suddenly understand\nhow relative that was to the time of creation. These are strands\nof thought based in reality and an alter-reafity. I write in a weird\ncontext of past, present, and future tense, i write about my life in a\nvery metaphorical way, so if that fails to permeate the audience,\nI come off sounding like gibberish. I depend on people's ability to\ndetach from their regular interpretations.\nDo you consider your work with eshod to be hip-hop?\nHypolyte: Personally, no. I am influenced by hip-hop but I am\npredominately a creative writer. My work with eshod is devoid of\ngenre. My frame of mind is \"How can we blur the lines?\" \"How can\nwe strip away preconceived notions?\"\nMadam* Wang [always the contrarian]: Yesl Albeit a new brand of\nsomething that is essentially the same inside. The mechanisms and\nconstruction of the music is similar, but we try to enhance elements\nof today's hip-hop with Hve instrumentation from odd musical\nsources, infusing it with something that's similar to today's hip-hop\nbut also having that juxtaposition of an accordion and spoken\nword artists thrown in the mix; something you'd be hard pressed to\nfind in any 'hip-hop' act.\nWhat is the essential similarity that makes hip-hop 'hip-hop'?\nMadame Wang: The construction of it really, the sampling, the\nsequencing. The internal mechanisms that hip-hop producers\nuse to make music are all very similar to our method. But one can\nsay thgt all music is done similarly these days. The differences are,\nof course, our material as opposed to theirs. For me, the more\nobscure the better. It just sounds more fresh when you're sampling\na ten second musical sound-bite from an obscure Italian action\nfilm (that no one has ever seen), as opposed to a sound bite of\nSamuel Jackson from Pulp Fiction. Stuff like that makes me close\nmy ears. , ^%^Jfi|\n23 Ends [she hates me for asking these questions]: Fuck hip-hop! Hiphop is full of similarities, eshod Ibn wyza is an undefined expression;\nunsimilan abstract...\nAnd abstract?\n23 Ends [she hates me even more]: Music, word, art\u00E2\u0080\u0094not saying\nby definition only by perspective. Abstract through the angle of\nthe music\u00E2\u0080\u0094to compose in touch with grey tones\u00E2\u0080\u0094unlike average\nsummaries of artistic format, using technical language and\nproficiency as well as visual language through the auditory use\nof the music interpreted by a specialist audience. An ability to\ninterpret and take into account the vast and diverse cultural and\nhistorical accomplishments that gave birth to its sound, imagery...\nExpressionism, idealism and spirituality combined with harmony by\nthe surfacing of an acceptation through unordinary terms.\nHypolyte: I have been learning to listen. This art never ceases to\nchallenge the performer and audience. To listen. Listen to the words,\nto the song in voice, to listen to the advance and retreat of rhythm\nand beat\u00E2\u0080\u0094all of these are elements of the whole composition and\nwhen one is truly listening all of the opportunities to connect are\nfront stage centre. I seek to learn how to completely open to my\naudience. Spoken-word is effective most when the cadence, the\nwords and the message are delivered in its most ideal fashion\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nintimate, naked, emotional. In my recent experiences Ihave met\npeople who love the poetry, the abstractedness of it. and want to\nhear more. I want to attract the audience that appreciates the art\nform and develop ways to reach people who turn that deaf ear.\nMadame Wang: Music for me is anything, any sound really. The\nroaring of a fan or train, for me, is more enjoyable that anything\nyou'fl find on a top 40 station. For me music and sound are\nessentially the same.

My desk is bigger now and my space\nis cleaner, but by far the greatest benefit from the relocation is\nnow I'm at a spot where I can crank up my music during work\nhours. And what I've been looping over and over in my CD-\nROM drive is Mistakes Enough for Everyone, the latest CD from\nVancouver's Robosexuals. It's quite a delightful little treat. And\napparently I'm not alone in thinking this way\u00E2\u0080\u0094the album was\nnumber one on the CiTR charts last week.\nThe Robosexuals will be having a dual CD release party\nwith Black Rice at the Lamplighter on October 8.1 spent one\nSaturday afternoon chatting to Shawn Bristow (vocals/bass/\nguitar) and Shane Phillipson (vocals/guitar/bass/keyboards)\nabout the show, among other things. Mark Karpinski (drums)\nwas out of town and couldn't join us.\nLet's start by talking about the history of the band. One of you\nwas in Closed Caption Radio and one was In Unclean Wiener.\nShane: Yeah, I used to play in Closed Caption Radio for a few\nyears. When that disbanded I moved to Seattle for about a\nyear, just hung out. And then I started playing with Shawn\nlong distance. We were going to move to Seattle and start\nthings up there, but it just was too complicated. So I moved\nup here.\nShawn: Yeah, both of our bands broke up at the same time so\nwe started playing with a drum machine and wrote songs.\nWe have a little practice space, about the size of this table.\nSo whenever Shane was up for a weekend or something, we\ngot together and jammed. Then finally we got a show and\ndecided we were going to be an actual band, with a drum\nmachine. We did that for about a year, playing two-piece\nwith a drum machine.\nShane: Long distance, kind of in Seattle.\nShawn: Yeah, we played shows down there, we played shows\nup here. And eventually we got a drummer, and we started\nwriting more songs. I used to play in an improv unit so it was\ninteresting to switch over and start writing songs. Playing the\nsame thing over and over again, that's kind of interesting.\nDo you consider yourself a new band? Or are there still parts of\nsay. Closed Caption Radio, with you?\nShane: No. Well, I was one of the songwriters of Closed Caption\nRadio and I haven't totally changed my songwriting style, but\nit's pretty different. We did start with Closed Caption Radio's\ndrummer, Joe, but things didn't quite work out.\nShawn: Some of the early songs definitely had a Closed Caption\nsound to it I thought. But I think we kind of got that out of our\nsystem [Laughs]\nI noticed that the back of your new CD has some artwork of\nmechanical fishes, i remember those from some really nice gig\nposters you were selling at Pat's Pub.\nShane: Yeah, it's just this thing that we decided that we wanted\nto do. Whenever we put a show together, we want to print\nsome silk screen posters and sell them for a reasonable\nprice at the show. Just to pay for the cost of doing them.\nIt was very successful. How many did you sell?\nShane: I think we sold thirteen at the show, that's pretty good. I\nwas kind of hesitant at first because we did them on cardstock\nand you can't really roll them up. People are drinking all night;\ndo they really want to take a huge poster home? In the end\nwe thought maybe a couple will, so we did it anyways. The\nresponse has been awesome. People are starting to know us\nfor just having really awesome posters,\nShawn: It's something different than T-shirts. We tried T-shirts and\ngave them all away.\nIs there going to be a poster for the CD release party?\nShane: Yes. Actually my girlfriend Katie who's done all of our\nposters and artwork is working on a poster right now. I think it's\ngoing to be pretty cool. We'll silk screen some of those, and\nit's going to be our first three colour poster.\nShawn: There are a lot of cool graphic designers in town doing\nposters and stuff for gigs. It's nice to see that. I went to Toronto\nand they have the most boring gig posters I've ever seen.\nShane: All font no action.\nShawn: Our city should be proud of our posters.\nShane: The whole poster thing is on a rise. Silk screened posters\nweren't really around for a while, and now it's sort of making\na resurgence. It's huge in Seattle. People want to buy art of\na band that they likeHt just makes sense. If you can buy a\nposter for like ten or five bucks, and it's a show that you saw,\nit's pretty awesome.\nSome people say that you are the most underrated band right\nnow In Vancouver, and you haven't had any major press.\nShawn: No, not at all.\nAny Idea why?\nShawn: I don't know. We play shows and everybody gets\nreviewed except for us.\nShane: It's just a timing thing. It comes around. We've played\nsome good shows and have just been missed.\nShawn: And we haven't really worked all that hard to get any\npress. We are pretty lazy when it comes to that.\nShane: For me personally, being out of the music game for a\nwhile, you kind of lose all you contacts. You don't really know\nwho to talk to anymore. But it's slowly coming around as\nwe're together longer.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Shawn: It helps to have a CD now. Something to promote.\nShane: Also it really helps having a CD because before the\nshow I can listen to the songs and go \"Ok, I know exactly what\nwe are doing.\" [Laughs] Our first show we did with the Dirtmitts\nwe didn't really have a set at all.\nShawn: We wrote the set in two weeks.\nShane: We had a couple of songs but most of it was a lot of\njamming. It's been like that for a long time, kind of not knowing\nwhat we were doing, format's always changing because\neither we were using a drum machine or a new drummer or\ntrying to something with both. It's nice to have some songs\nthat we know how to play. It's a bit of a no-brainer.\nDo both of you come up with the songs? is it a pretty mixed\nwriting process?\nShane: Yeah, me and Shawn pretty much write the songs\ncompletely together.\nShawn: We just hash it out until it falls into place with the\nchanges. A song will take different forms from when we first\nwrite it to when we record it. On this album all the songs are\npretty different from when we first started playing them. So it's\njust a constant process for us.\nShane: There is nobody that comes in and says, \"Ok, I got a\nsong and this is how it goes.\" It's more like, \"I have an idea for\na verse, what's going to work for a chorus.\"\nWe have to talk about the name of the band, the\nRobosexuals.\nShane: The name was realty relevant when we first started out,\nbecause it was me and Shawn, and we had a drum machine.\nBased on the drum machine it was sort of this robotic thing.\nBut we also wanted to be slightly organic. I don't really know\nhow we came up with the name.\nShawn: You had some book about robot cyber stuff; I can't\nremember what it was.\nThe most popular reference to robosexuals is probably by\nBender from Futurama.\nShane: Yeah. It's funny that it's all over the web.\nShawn: What is it again? \"I hope\npeople don't think we're robosexuals\"?\nYeah, something like that.\nShane: But I just don't understand how there can be so many\nwebpages that have that quote. There's like hundreds.\nShawn: They are all different too. Some misquoted or taken in\na different context.\nShane: And there are a couple militant organizations, that\nmention robosexuals as part of the evil that's out there. You\nknow, humans getting together with robots as our society\nmoves towards a more automated world.\nShawn: Well, we're here to topple that. [Laughs] D DiSCORDER OCTOBER 2004\nBLAiikPfAG^ES\nMATTHEW GRUMAN\n\"I've always wondered about Robert Smith's\nwife and how she puts up with his songs. It's been\nlike 25 years!\" - N. Hilmi\nNoyan Hilmi is the lead singer/songwriter for\nBrampton, Ontario's Five Blank Pages. He writes\ndelightful pop-rock songs, many of which concern\npast relationships with former girlfriends. And his\nbassist is his girlfriend, Pinar Ozyetis. Ever heard the\nold adage 'Don't shit where you eat', Noyan? \"I\nhave heard of it, and I'm still trying to understand\nit completely,\" he says. \"There are definite risks\nwith being in a band with your girlfriend, but we\nhave mostly seen the positive things that come\nout of it.\"\nThe obvious closeness between Noyan\nand Pinar reflects itself wonderfully in their music.\nRounded out by Noyan's sister, Chelen Hilmi on\ndrums. Five Blank Pages have a cohesive, familial\nsound that stands out in the booming indie-rock\nscene. While he jokes that the band's \"Beatles-\nsized meltdown\" is just around the comer, the\ngroup shows no signs of slowing down any\ntime soon. Their first EP, Spaces to Occupy and\nAbandon was released recently through Sonic\nUnyon Distribution, and they are poised to start\nmaking more than a blip on the radar.\nWriting songs at 16 while teaching himself\nto play the guitar, he was heavily influenced\nby the likes of Hayden and ElfiofSrhith: \"The first\nsong I wrote was called 'This One Place', about\nthe solitude of my room,\" he laughs. \"Exciting\nstuff.\" Over the years, he continued writing songs,\neventually performing solo material under the\nmoniker noyz, with a revolving cast of band\nmembers. The ball started rolling when, through\na mutual friend, Noyan was introduced to Noah\nMintz (hHead, Noah's Archweld). Mintz later went\non to master the first and only noyz record. Let Go.\nThe 13 track, lo-fi release is described in their bio\nas a varied collection of sounds and sensibilities;\nat once introspective, melodic, and infectious in\nits combination of garage distortion, hook-laden\nguitar-pop, and folk sensibility. The album, sold at\nshows and through the old noyz website started\ngetting the singer/songwriter some attention.\nAs more shows were played as noyz, and\nmore songs were recorded with what was\nbecoming a permanent lineup, it became time\nfor a name change. Now less of a solo project,\nand more of a band, the name started losing\nit's original relevancy. \"When I first came up with\nnoyz, I guess my goal was to have an acoustic\nsong-writer presence. I think my songwriting and\narrangements slowly grew out of that. I also\nstarted disliking the name (it was a nickname of\nmine) and its confusion with people thinking that I\nwas in a metal band,\" Noyan laughs.\nThis 6-song EP is a fantastically accurate\nsampling of the band's sound. From track one,\nthe instrumental \"Lacewood\", to the closing\ntrack from which they've derived their name.\nIt is full of hooks, full of catchy choruses and full\nof heartfelt lyrics. Standout track \"Richie T.\" is a\nsong of unrequited love containing the haunting\na cappella line: \"I'm going to kill myself...\ntomorrow,.. .tomorrow.. .tomorrow.\"\n\"Richie's a character that I didn't create,\nbut observed\" explains Noyan. \"I was on a long\ndrive and wrote the song in my head. The lyrics\nare basically Richie's thoughts swirling around\nhis head, like a blender. He's basically a guy\nwho figures out that his longing is a disease, and\nhe'd rather rid himself of the sickness, no matter\nwhat.\" After this confession, the song moves from\nan initially slow, melodic feel into a crescendo of\ndistorted guitars and heavy drums. -T+iis sudden\nemotional change is characteristic for more than\none song.\n\"I guess they are part of who we are and our\nsound. The lyrics and music are a mix of emotions;\nsometimes the changes just seem natural in the\nprogression of the song I've written. I'm a huge\nfan of a range of music. I think I like to incorporate\nwhat I see fits from myinfluences. A song may start\nout \"Hayden-esque\" and then end up having a\ntouch of Tool in it.\"\nAs a band of the modern age, Rve\nBlank Pages have embraced technology as\na promotional tool. From the first noyz album,\navailable in full through newmusiccanada.com,\nto promoting full-length samples of new material\nthrough their own website (fveblankpages.\ncom), Noyan's a fan of digital media. \"We get\nemails from time to time saying that people have\ndownloaded a song or heard it and are saying\nnice things about it. Makes us feel warm and\nfuzzy.\" Emphasizing Its importance to independent\nartists, tie adds, \"1 have discovered and therefore\nbegan supporting many independent acts\nbecause of mp3 as a tool\".\n\"I'm not a big fan of keeping secrets\nwhen it comes to people you love\" said Noyan\nnear the beginning of our talk. It's this simple\nphilosophy that seems to permeate the sound\nthat has developed with Five Blank Pages. It's\nthis honesty, found in both the lyrics and musical\narrangements, that is setting them apart from\nbeing just another indie-rock band on the scene.\n'It's definitely an interesting experience being in\nthe band with people who are already so close\nto you,\" is the humble description of a group\nwho's future should prove to be more than just\ninteresting. D 1\nWaging war on banality one Single at a time\nG 0 E R I \Mm__j5. P\nBY ROSS SMITH\nIn Denys Arcand's film Decline of the American Empire, one\ncharacter describes getting a hand job while discussing the\nmillennium with his masseur. This, he pinpoints, was the moment he\nknew he was in love. This is a remarkably apt metaphor for my love\nof a great pop song. Not just good, great. Good you can dance to.\nGreat sends shivers down from your spine through your fingertips. It\nmakes you cock an eyebrow and say, \"Damn.\" It shows up on the\nmix CD's you give to the girl you're trying to impress. Great will not\nnecessarily get played at your wedding, but will help you through\nyour divorce. And the point extrapolated from a near twenty-year-\nold movie is that it's the perfect combination of sex, emotion and\nintellect that will ever have me devoted tp and championing pop\nmusic, that hooker with the heart of gold.\n\"Pop music\" is a big fat vague term that means entirely\ndifferent things to different people. Sadly, for most folks these days,\nthe term conjures up Britney, Justin, and Celine, just as I'm sure it\nonce conjured Pat Boone, David Cassidy, and Right Said Fred. For\nme, however, it's about an art and a craft by poets and musicians\nwho know that catchy tunes aren't any less hummable for having\ninsightful, revelatory or provocative lyrics, but in fact are often better\nfor it. They know that sometime, somewhere, someone is waking up\nhung over from last night's party, with the stereo still on \"shuffle\" replaying the song they were rocking out to mere hours before and\nhaving some turn of phrase or guitar lick assert itself upon them,\nas if for the first time, like a double-double chasing the Beefeater\nout of their system. These artists are innumerable, but for the sake\nof context, a few of them I might include could be Bob Dylan, Cat\nStevens, Prince, U2, Johnny Cash, Public Enemy, Nirvana... a very\nobvious and mainstream list I grant you, but it's important to realize\nthat these artists all have had a huge impact on many people,\n. without ever having compromised their work. It seems to me that in\nthe current pop climate, artists with both gravity and a knack for sexy\nhooks are almost entirely relegated to the sidelines of college radio\nand critical dariinghood. There are a few exceptions that seem to\nsneak through: to be au courant I'll mention Franz Ferdinand and\nKanye West, but it's still too early in their courtship with the fickle\npublic to know if they'll stick around.\nSo why the vacuum? Blame the consolidation of media outlets,\nrecord companies who fa vour the quick money made off singles over\nlong-term artist development,\nand maybe even listeners who\ndon't want to hear anything\nthat resembles their parent's\nmusic. The Why's are perhaps\nbest left to economists and \u00C2\u00B0-^^|\ncultural studies majors, but I can\nsaunter out to the other end\nof the street with a couple of\nsolid Why Not's. It's not because\nthe artists aren't out there, and\nit's certainly not because the\nworld we live in doesn't provide\nenough fuel for an Iraqi oilfield\nsized fire. Goddamnit, people, we\nhave amongst us some of the finest\nsohgsmiths the world has ever known, and political tumult up the\nasshole every day.\nSo who's gonna do it? Who's gonna whup the stale status\nquo and bring some life and credibility back to the three-and-a-half\nminute pop sucker punch? Any songwriter worth his salt reading this\nshould be saying, \"Me\". But until that day arrives, maybe we can\ndeal a few blows with the help of Steve Earle and Morrissey.\n\"Strange Bedfellows\" is the phrase I think you're looking for. Yes,\nSteve Earle and Morrissey, who have little in common, except that\neach is a man of distinct vision, and they're both consistently very\ngood at what they do. Both released new albums in 2004: in August,\nMr. Earle offered us his most boisterous and impassioned album yet.\nThe Revolution Starts Now, and in May, the reliably miserable Mr.\nMorrissey swaggered back to action with the rapier-sharp You are\nthe Quarry. Worlds apart stylistically, yet not as disparate as you may\nassume, both of these artists know and respect their audience, and\nare established enough that a good swing at the flabby mainstream\ncould actually yield some new fans and mobilize normally passive\nlisteners into full-on flag wavers for their respective causes.\nSteve Earle is someone that has always made my top-five list for\n\"guys you'd feel best about having on your side in a bar fight.\" Like\nMerle Haggard or Glen Danzig, you know that Steve's not gonna\nfuck around, and indeed, when he sets his musical sights on you, he's\nleaping straight for your jugular with brass knuckles and a broken\nSam Adams bottle. So if I were George W. Bush, I'd be pissing in\nmy pants right about now. The dude opens his record with an\nincitement to revolution, so you know you're off to a good start, and\nthe rest of the album follows suit. Every track is somehow related to\nall post 9/1J American governmental policy, which if I had to guess,\nSteve's a little bothered by. He's never been shy about his self-\ndescribed \"pinko-ism,\" therefore in the face of the most abhorrent\nUS administration since... the last one; his strength and clarity of\npurpose should come as no surprise.\nThe impressive thing about his writing though, is that he never\ntakes the obvious slant. Jokes about brawling aside, Steve Earle's\ngreatest weapons are his poetry, his compassion and his sense of\nhumour. Combined with some nasty, snarling guitars and a never-\nfailing sense of melody, this is sonic pamphleteering at it's finest.\nAfter we've shaken our fists and booties to \"The Revolution Starts\nNow\", track two, \"Home To Houston\" checks in with a soldier whose\ngung-ho has been quickly replaced with a prayer for survival in the\nfield of battle. \"If I ever get home to Houston alive, then I won't drive\na truck anymore,\" he promises. Perfectly followed by \"Rich Man's\nWar\" that reminds us that no matter what God and country bullshit\nleaders trumpet, war is just as much a domestic issue as a foreign\none, spilling the blood of a nation's poor, for whom military service\nis one of their best, if most Faustiqn Jjgjgains. Join the army, get a\nL DiSCORDER OCTOBER 2004\ndegree, see the world, and shoot some people you've never met.\n\"A stack of overdue bills and off to save the world/Been a year now\nand he's still there/Chasin' ghosts in the thin dry air\"', mirrored by\nhis foe, who \"...answered when he got the call/Wrapped himself in\ndeath and praised Allah/A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to,\nthe door/Just another poor boy off to fight a rich man'swar.\"\nEach song is unfailingly persuasive and moving, filled with\nurgency and eloquence. \"Warrior\" is an eerie, churning spoken word\npiece about the tarnished mythology of bravery. \"Condi, Condi\" is a\nhilarious calypso love song forthe Ms. Thang lurking within Condoleezza\nRice, and \"F the CC\" is a rather direct bonjour to the FCC. (Fish in a\nbarrel there I suppose, but it's raucous fun.) Earle seems determined\nnot to let the Bush gang off the hook for their inhumanity or any fellow\nAmerican off the hook for ignorance or blind patriotism. If you love\nyour country, he challenges, prove it with love and concern for your\nfriends and family and some actual participation in your democracy.\nHe is a romantic, seeking out the true heart of his nation, appealing\nto their capacity for building instead of destroying. ^*^y4&S\nMorrissey's \"You are the Quarry\" is not as focused on a specific\npolitical agenda, but it is his blend of the deeply personal with the\npolitical that that makes it feel whole. He writes of politics in the way\nthat any intelligent, reasonable person who casts an eye to the world.\naround them says to themselves, \"Why are things so fucked up out\nthere?\" He knows the intrinsic link between self-loathing and the\nneed to lash out that can make people not just sad but cruel, and\nhow unfortunately attractive that is to most of us. He's been refining\nthis thematic combination from day one with The Smiths, and all his\nsubsequent solo work. Ugly/sexy, weak/strong, want/need\u00E2\u0080\u0094I don't\nthink Morrissey would ever want to write of the heads without the tails.\nHe seems the perfect vessel for these kinds of songs. A Brit living in LA,\na famous recluse, ambiguously gay, the man knows dialectics.\nNow, for having said he's not that political, he does open up\nhis album telling America how much he loves them, but also where\nthey can shove their hamburger. \"And don't you wonder, why in\nEstonia they say, 'hey you, you big fat pig...\" He then takes a shot\nat his homeland in \"Irish Blood/English Heart\". \"I've been dreaming\nof a time when to be English is not to be baneful/To be standing by\nthe flag not feeling shameful, racist or partial.\" But like Earle, the point\nhere is their knowing how great these families that they're a part of\ncould be, and feeling frustrated by the current state of affairs. He's\nsurprisingly often more direct than Earle, singing mostly from the first\nperson, with laconic intimacy, so even if he were only portraying a\ncharacter, you feel that \"you really know him\". I suspect this plays a\nlarge part in his fans' strong devotion.\nHonestly, I never gave a damn about the Smiths, and was only\na casual fan of his solo work until now. Perhaps it's simply the right\ntime and place for his potent heartache. He lays bare desire (\"This\nWorld is Full Of Crashing Bores\", \"Let Me Kiss You\") struggles with faith\n(\"I Have Forgiven Jesus\") and admiration versus self-loathing (\"How\nCan Anybody Know How I Feel?\", \"I Like You\", \"You Know I\nCouldn't Last\") which seems to be\na long-time favourite\nindulge\nInterestingly, in \"First Of The Gang To Die\", Morrissey essentially gives\na shout out to his sizable young, straight, male Latin\u00C2\u00A9 following (see\nChuck Klosterman's \"Viva Morrissey\" in Da Capo press's Best Music\nWriting 2003). There, with a dark flourish, he speaks for a violent soul:\n\"You have never been in love until you've seen sunlight thrown over\nsmashed human bone.\" Perhaps in each other, Morrissey and the\ngang bangers recognize hurt and struggle, for love, for respect. But\nmost often, I have to say that Morrissey mostly comes off like your\nquiet, \"fancy\" uncle who lets loose at a family function when he's\nhad a few too many glasses of wine... bitchy and hilarious. Did I\nmention that all these songs are also catchy as fuck? You should see\nme at work, dancing around singing, \"You fat pig, you fat pig...\"\nI sing (and dance) the praises of these two men because I feel\naligned with their ideas and musical sensibilities, and perhaps I'm\nnot the most objective judge. Maybe these albums won't convert\nthe casual listener: it could be that these artists are too old and\nunmarketable to be fully embraced by the mainstream. Maybe\ntheir appeal is too selective and they won't turn the tables on the\ntacky shit that reigns in iPodville. But I remain optimistic. Politically,\nmore and more people feel disenfranchised by their institutions,\nunsettled by witnessing how the world can steamroJJ right on over\nthem (or someone really no different from them continents away)\nand no matter where you live, that ain't cool. Socially, it gets harder\nand harder to connect when so much of our culture encourages\nhiding away with our toys. Music has always run in cycles from pap to\ninspirational, but I think we're coming back to a time when shaking\nit \"in da club\" just isn't going to cut it. People will want theme songs\nfor their return to humanity, folk songs, slave songs, blues, country,\npunk, and hip-hop calls to arms. Arm yourself with intelligence and\nmelody; they can carry you a long way. Maybe it won't be Steve\nEarle or Morrissey. But just like one hippie at Woodstock who may\nhave campaigned to end the Vietnam war, or one Midnight Oil fan\nwho devoted themselves to aboriginal rights, or one Rage Against\nThe Machine fan who boycotted Esso, there will be one person who\nhears either of these records and decides they can be more than\njust a call to \"Much On Demand\". Hell, Green Day just put out an\nanti-war record, so what does that tell you about where things are\nheaded? Perhaps soon we can all look forward to Justin's new Pete\nSeeger tribute album, sure to score another three-and-a-half minute\nvictory for the real pop music.

DiSCORDER OCTOBER 2004\n(Universal)\nWhile every one of Bjork s\nalbums has been completely\nunpredictable, the typical\nmusic journalist's response has\nremained consistent. \"She's\ndone it this time, she's gone\ntoo far, this album is too difficult:\nshe's alienated her fans.\" It's\nnot surprising that critics react\nlike this: the fact that Bjork can\nrelease an album composed\nentirely of human vocals, and\nhave it reach top position on\ncharts all over the world is pretty\nconfusing. Does this mean that\nthe average chump on the\nstreet \"isn't as stupid as the major\nlabels seem to think? Basically,\nBjork's mainstream success\nindicates that there may be\nhope for humanity.\nSusy Webb\nThe Beakers\nFour Steps Toward a Cultural\nRevolution\n(K)\nBlackouts\nHistory In Revenues\nTO\nWhen I say that I'm a child of\nthe '80s, I mean it. Seriously, I\nwas bom in the '80s and I was\nbarely out of the larval stage\nwhen they ended. As my tastes\nhave refined, so has my curiosity\nabout music I'm too young to\nremember. When K records sent\nus their re-releases of these two\nalbums, I thought it would be a\nbrilliant way to learn more about\nsome obscure, almost forgotten\n80s bands, and to move beyond\nwhat I do remember about\nmusic from the period: flash and\ncheese, lots of keyboard, and\nicons like Morrissey.\nListening to The Breakers\nwas unbearable the first four\ntimes. Incoherent and alienating,\nabrasive and disorienting,\nwith bewildering and bizarre\nlyrics; it just made no sense to\nme. I thought it was the most\npretentious crap I'd ever heard.\nI pictured art school dropouts listening to the CD, eyes\nclosed, occasionally whispering,\n\"genius\" to no one in particular.\nBut then I actually did my\njournalistic duty and read the\npress sheet. The Breakers came\nout of Olympia, toured the west\nbetween 1980-81. Read more\nabout it at http://www.krecs.\ncom/Press/onesheets/Beakers/\nKLP163.html. Anyway, it was\nenough to make me reconsider\nand listen again. I'm getting into\nmore art funk punk so I thought\nI'd surely enjoy it if I gave it\nmore thought. I must totally lack\nthe necessary sophistication,\nbecause I still can't listen to it ,\nall the way through. But it's a\nbit more thought-provoking...or\nsimply provoking. Both are the\nobjective of art punk, aren't\nthey?\n\"The Blackouts were the\nbest Seattle band you never\nheard of. To those who bought\ntfaefe \"records and attended\ntheir shows, this is no secret.\nBut for the majority who didn't,\nthis exciting anthology\u00E2\u0080\u0094long\noverdue\u00E2\u0080\u0094thankfully now\nexists,\" says K Records. Yes! This,\nanthology, or legacy rather, is\nexactly the sound I was hoping\nfor/expecting. It feels good in\nthat familiar '80's.way: lots of\nsynth and gloom, just the way I\nlike it.\nListening to the Blackouts\nright after the Beakers may not\nhave done the former band any\nfavours: their sense of adventure\nseemsrather pale in comparison.\nEach song flowed into the next;\nnone really aspired to bend the\ngenre or create a fresh sound.\nBeyond this, though, it should\nfit nicely in your CD collection\nbetween your Smiths and Joy\nDivision. Very appropriate for\nthe days you gaze soulfully out\nthe bus window into the ongoing\ngrey of fall.\nParmida Zarinkamar\nFrog Eyes\nThe Folded Palm\n(Absolutely Kosher Records)\nFinally! For so long Frog Eyes'\nbeautiful, dense sound spiced\nby Carey Mercer's howl has\ndrawn me near, but once I\narrive I feel lost and confused,\nwondering if I took a wrong turn\nsomewhere up the road. As a\nresult, f ve set them as a strong\nband lyrically, and in terms of\nthe sounds they create (one half\nliterate rock and one half hard- >\ncore ghost burlesque house).\nOn The Folded Palm, though,\nthere seems to be a newborn\npop sensibility that has risen out\nof the chaos of previous albums\nbut (this is the best part) without\ncompromising that same earlier\ninsanity. Be it the transfigured\nchirp on \"Ship Destroyer,\" or\nthe beautiful, fragile desolation\nof \"Ice on the \"Sail\" The Folded\nPalm is an awesome showcase\nof some of the best new music\ncoming out of Victoria, or\nCanada for that matter.\nSoren Brothers\nThe Multi-Platinum Debut Album\n(Def Jux)\nA simple analogy for all you indie-\nrock geeks: Hangar 18 are well\non their way to. becoming the\nFranz Ferdinand of underground\nhip-hop. Quality composition\nand smooth production create a\nsound you can't help but dance\nto. You also can't help but feel\nslightly guilty about this pleasure\nafterwards. Hopefully that\nsounds tike I'm recommending\nthis disc. Because I am.\nThe Multi-Platinum Debut\nAlbum could be just that if\nthe mainstream rap world\nwas slightly less stupid. Singles\n\"Where We At\" and \"Go Git\nThat\" wouldn't sound out of\nplace on The Beat, Vancouver's\n\"disappointing\" hip-hop radio\nstation. The Hangar songs would\nbe the rare ones that you turn\nup amidst the Beyonce and\nEminem, due largely to simple,\ninfectious beats from producer\npaWL, whose past work includes\ncollaborations with the great\n(and hott!) Mr. Uf, Harlem cutie-\npies Cannibal Ox, and The\nPresence.\nMC's Windnbreeze and\nAlaska have complementary\ndeliveries: both possess tight\nvocal styles heavy on the\nenunciation. Lame white girl\nthrough and through, I still can't\nunderstand most of what they're\nsaying, but what I can make\nout sounds pretty damn good,\nranging from commentary on\nlife post-9/11 life to recurring\njokes about donkeys.\nThis album is definitely\na manifestation of the Def\nJux label's move towards the\nmainstream, which will bring\nsome outcry from long-term\nunderground fans. But I say,\nSFW? If this is Def Jux's idea of\nmainstream, then bring it on.\nIt will be a happy day when\nany one of us hears this on the\nradio.\nSusy Webb\nMemphis\nI Dreamed We Fell Apart\n(PaperBag)\nLet's skip right to the chase:\nyes, Memphis is a side project\nof Torquil Campbell of Stars,\nand yep, most of trie songs are\nabout love and relationships, but\nthis record is not as immediate\nand hook-laden as the last Stars\nrecord, the excellent Heart.\nThat said, / Dreamed We\nFell Apart, is a good record that\nwill work perfectly on a rainy\nSunday afternoon, or for a late\nsummer drive at sunset. The\nmelodies will reveal themselves\nin time, but until then, Torq's-\nfloaty vocals combined with\nChris Dumont's subtle electronic\nflourishes and acoustic guitar\ndo more than enough to set the\nright mood. Granted, there are\nsome instrumental tracks that\ncome off as slightly noodling.\nBut don't go away thinking the\nrecord doesn't have Its share\nof high points: \"3:15 on the\nLast Day of School,\" with its\nrelaxed slide guitar, and slowly\nunwinding, gorgeous melody,\nwill seep in under your skin.\n\"Nada\" is another highlight,\nusing jazzy snare-brushing and\nsax fills, ethereal guitar effects,\nand Torq almost whispering the\nvocals into your ear, to very\nsoothing effect. And throw in a\ncompetent Pet Shop Boys cover\nto boot. What's not to like?\nAs stated earlier, don't\nlisten to this record expecting\nthe next Stars album, although\nfans of the band (and especially\nfans of Torq's voice) will definitely\nenjoy Memphis. Do, however,\nexpect a sofld record with some\nstrong moments that outweigh\nthe misses.\nRobert Ferdman\nRTX\nTransmanfacon\n(Drag CHy)\nNeal Michael Hagerty isn't\non this one, so it's not as quite as\ngood, and a little too heavy on\nthe Vocoder.

But only if you're into\npower chords\u00E2\u0080\u0094if not, don't\neven bother.\nSusy Webb\nSarah Slean\nDay One\nWEA\nDay One follows Sarah Slean's\nfabulous major label debut,\nNightbugs (2002), a selection\nof sweeping caberet pop that\nfar surpassed her handful of\nindie releases. This album isn't\nNightbugs II, though I wouldn't\nhave minded if it was, and it's\nnot the bid for commercial\nradio play that I feared it\nmight be. Instead, this dlbum\nsees Toronto's darling waif\ntake on new musical territory,\nalbeit with mixed results. The\ninstrumentation is the chief\ndifference, with abundant\nguitars and programmed\nbeats. Slean's beloved piano\ntakes a back seat to keyboards\nthat occasionally stray into\nelevator music (as in the truly\nhorrific \"Mary\" and the not-\nso-bad title track). The vocal\nare as strong as ever, though,\nand Sarah's lyrics have stayed\ntrue to her capital R-Romantic\nsensibilities. It's the slower songs,\nlike live favourite \"California\"\nand the Sarah Harmer-esque\n\"Wake Up\" that are the winners,\nthough they, like the rest of Day\nOne, suffer from overly-glossy\nproduction.\nThis album's strange\nmusical mixture may be more\noriginal than that of past works,\nbut, as shown by \"Mary and the\nhidden track, originality is a risky\nbusiness.\nKatSiddle\nStars\nSet Yourself on Fire\n(Arts and Crafts)\nThere is a sound that makes me\nfeel at home, very warm and\nvery content. That sound comes\nfrom the female member of\nthe stunning indie-pop group\nStars, whose 2003 release\nHeart met with well-derserved\ncritical praise and contained\none utterly song, \"Look Up.\"\nMaybe you can have a crush\non someone's voice, and if so,\nI have a huge crush on Amy\nMilan. This crush isn't the sole\nreason for my love of Stars;\ntheir music is beautiful too. Lush\npianos, atmospheric hooks, and\nemotionally cut strings together\ngive a feeling of perfect\ndecadence. Set Yourself on\nFire is rich with sound, but isn't\nover-produced, showing that\nthese guys deserved to share\na stage with label-mates and\nclose friends Broken Social\nScene. Songs like \"Your Ex-\nlover is Dead\", the first track\non the album, immediately\nswells with strings as it moves\nback and forth from Evan and\nAmy till their vocals coalesce\nin harmony. Perhaps if there\nwas one complaint regarding\nSet Yourself on Fire Is that Amy\ndoesn't sing as much as she did\non Heart. Some might not see\nthis as a problem, but it breaks\nmy heart a little (tear).\nChris Walters\nVarious\nSong of the Silent Land\n(Constellation)\nThis review will assume that'\nyou have heard the music of\nConstellation powerhouses\nGodspeed You Black Emperor!\nand Do Make Say Think. The\nhype machine has already\nsaid plenty about them. If you\nhaven't listened to them, please\ndo yourself a huge favour and\ndo so.\nSong of fhe S/7enf Land\ncollects songs from the\nentire roster of Montreal's\nConstellation label. It serves as\na good sampler of what this\nlabel has to offer besides the\naforementioned bands. And\nas phenomenal as GYBE! and\nDMST are, this compilation does,\nmore often than not, show that\nthere is good reason to delve\ndeeper. Some of the highlights\nfor this reviewer were:\nHangedup, \"(Re) view\nfrom the Ground\", and re:\n\"Slippage\": Driving, industrial\nmetal machine music that can.\nevoke the feelings of the need\nto escape the daily grind, or of\nplaying on the construction site,\nrespectively.\nBlack Ox Orkestar, \"Toyte\nGoyes In Shineln:\" based on a\nWWII-era Yiddish poem, and\nsung entirely in that language.\nDreary and raw, yes, but also\nhighly evocative and more than\na simple exercise in tradition.\nPolmo Polpo, \"Dreaming\n(,\u00E2\u0080\u009EAgain):\" great slide guitar\nwork that acts in nice contrast\nto the not-quite-as-organic\nbacking sounds and subtly\npropulsive beat.\nThere are a couple of\nduds here, like the dragging,\nmopey \"String of Lights\", by\nSofa, or \"Fair Warning\", by 1-\nSpeed Bike, which starts off\npromising, but doesn't really\ngo anywhere, becoming a\nseries of repetitive sounds and\nbeats, with a voice asking,\n\"Capish? Capish? Capish?\",\nwhich reminds me of my dad\nscolding me as a kid. But as a\nwhole. Song of fhe Silent Land is\nah excellent introduction to the\nbands signed with this seven\nyear old Canadian label.\nRobert Ferdman\nVarious Artists\nGarden State Soundtrack\n(Epic)\nThis album is one of the best\nsoundtracks I've heard in quite\nawhile. A blend of sexy trip-hop,\nromantic singer-songwriters,\nand familiar favourites like The\nShins and Coldplay allows you\nto see how the music added so\nmuch to Zach Braff's directorial\ndebut. He picked all the music\nhimself, too. Impressive guy. The\nhighlights of the> album include\nThe Shins' \"New Slang\", Iron\n& Wine's cover of The Postal\nService's \"Such Great Heights\"\nand Frou Frou's \"Let Go\". A\ntribute track to \"The Graduate\"\nis included in the soundtrack.\nYou know the Simon &\nGarfunkel one... because they\ndid the soundtrack to The\nGraduate. Looks like Zach Braff\nis well aware of the similarities\nbetween the two dissatisfied\nmain characters of those\nmovies. With a soundtrack like\nthis it's easy to imagine why\nyour friends keep telling you\nto see this film. If they haven't,\nthey just have bad taste.\nJordie Smith\nThe Sermon\nVolume\n(Alternative Tentacles)\nFor a label that's given us\neverything from the post-rock\nlunacy of Alice Donut, to the\nBrazilian punk rock of Ratos De\nParao, to our very own clown\nprinces of garage pop The\nEvaporators, you can't blame AT\nfor not being musically diverse.\nAdd to this roster The Sermon,\nfive San Franciscans (well, two\nof 'em used to be from Tuscon,\nAZ and a band called The Fells\nwho had some releases on\nEstrus that are worth checkin'\nout), who blaze a trail of '60's\nEuropean freakbeat-influenced\nstuff like The Outsiders or maybe\nThe Mooney Suzuki, before they\nstarted smokin' more weed\nand dressing like extras from\nThat Seventies Show. The guitars\nsound sharp, the.drums beat\nloud and tough, there's even\nsome harmonica action for\nthose who like a little harp juice\nwith their gin-soaked R'n'B. The\noverall imagery is dark and\nsomewhat bleak, from their\nunified fashion choice of black,\nto the cover art of an upside\ndown tree, to the lyrical content\nof songs like \"The Other Side Of\nThe Mirror\" and \"Miss A.\" But as\nthe title suggests, The Sermon\nspeaks volumes and delivers the\nmessage loud and clear; this is\nthe new rock 'n' roll revolution.\nBryce Dunn\nThese Arms Are Snakes\nOxeneers, or The Uon Sleep\nWhen Hs Antelope Go Home\n(Jade Tree)\nRising out of the ashes of\npopular Seattle scene bands\nBotch and Kill Sadie, These Arms\nAre Snakes have destroyed\nall of what you thought of\nthose bands, to create a sonic\nmess of broken screams and\ninstrumental experimentation.\nPerhaps you will shy away\nbecause this isn't The Promise\nRing, and that's ok, because in\nall honesty TAAS would destroy\nthem, and create a violent\ndance party that the whole\ncrowd's invited to.

I wanted to\nbe a celebrated author and I wanted to get my\ngarden in.' He even bragged about the size of his\napples. These Arms Are Snakes made me want\nto start listening to the Jesus Lizard.

Speaking of Devils opened the night\nwith a pseudo-folk set. A trio, whose main selling\npoint was the lyrics and phrasings, they suffered\nfrom muddied sound. The band was clearly fhe\nlead singer's in every respect, with little to no\ninput coming from his backing musicians. Indeed,\nwhen the guitarist goofed up, the singer shot\nhim a mighty angry look. Were I the manager of\nthis band, I'd get rid of the electric guitarist. The\nkeyboards were good for atmosphere & sound-\nrichness, but the surfy electric just seemed to\ntake away from the sound. A simple, soft drum-kit\nmight make a better addition to the band, to fill\nin the gaps, as it were. A radical suggestion might\neven be for the singer to take it solo for a while\n- if only to get more comfortable with his own\ndelivery, before adding in others for sound.\nStuck in the middle was Automatic Fancy,\nan all-girl rock act. In this band, the backing\nmusicians were the highlight - stellar playing,\nvery tight and a clean sound. The singer, who, it\nmust be said, brought terrific energy to her act,\nwas probably the weakest member, shouting\nthe lyrics to the point that they were no longer\ncomprehensfole.

This is an\nact that will sink or swim entirely on the presence\nof the singer/dancer, who, I'll admit, was scary\nintense during the set, thrashing and dancing\n(small quibble: 'the robot' popped out too often),\nshouting and singing over a tight, harsh techno\nbeat hammered out nicely by her backing\nkeyboardist (who also provided some surprisingly\ndelicate backing vocals, a nice counter-point).\nSteve Tannock\nThe Greatest Rock'n Roll Story Ever Told\nSunday 19 September\nThe Butcher Shop Gallery\nI'm a bit stand-offish with arts festivals that are\nabout to have condo developments named\nafter them, but when a little invitation arrived\nin the post in a hand-written envelope, my\nanalogue buttons were pushed. Besides, I like\nthe Butcher Shop. So I mounted my bike and\nflew up Main Street, cackling like at witch on a\nbroomstick. Off to the Fringe!\nThe boys in 80s tribute band, Rock'n,\nput together a charmingly DIY show. Having\narranged things themselves with the gallery\n(that's \"Bring Your Own Venue\" in Fringe\nparlance), they proceeded to flog themselves\nsilly by doing 14 performances during the\nfestival's 11 days. Using a slightly sorted sheet as\na scrim and carrying a few bits of props on and\noff, Buddy, Chad Johnny and Rick Rock'n told a\nstory of thwarted dreams. As the reigning bad\nboys of rock back in high school, their crowning\nmoment was to be playing at grad. But mere\nhours before the dance. Principal Higginson\nexpelled their lead singer and the gig was off.\nTwenty years later, they still aren't over\nit (one of them gives Karate demos backed\nby heavy metal tracks). Simple, yes, but\nnot simplistic. The inevitable reunion and\nrevenge gig had all the signposts of psycho-\ndrama (revisiting trauma, exorcising internalized\noppressors\u00E2\u0080\u0094you know the stuff) but was played\nwith such raw innocence that it was really quite\ncathartic, especially when the band let fly with\nthat gig that got away.\nBlessed with distinct and believable\ncharacters, this Story was considerably more\nthan a play draped around a rock show. There\nwas also some choice writing: Trying to elicit\nour sympathy for a bandmate who was going\nthrough a painful divorce, Johnny exhorts, \"Our\nhearts are like plates. Sometimes they break.\nRick's plate is broken.\"\nAfter the show, I asked Rick if there was a\nprogramme. \"No\", he replied, \"we didn't make\na programme because we're not realty actors\".\nSweet. But like all savvy musicians, they had a\nmerch table.\nPenelope Mulligan\nBeastie Boys\nTaHbKwefl\nSeptember 20\nPacific Coliseum ^'v^^fe;\nNot much is worth the absolute horror of\ngetting to the Pacific Coliseum on a night where\napproximately ten million sixteen year olds are\ndoing the same thing, except for, perhaps, the\nfirst Vancouver Beastie Boys show in five years.\nThe opener for the night was Superdogs, a\ntrick dogs show. How sad but awesome at the\nsame time. Unfortunately, I missed it.\nTalib Kweli, the hottest commodity since the\nrice cooker, started the actual show off with DJ\nChaps, playing to a very receptive crowd. TaH>\nflawlessly went through a good handful of songs\nContinued on the next page.. ..Continued from the last page\nflawlessly, went through a good handful of songs\nfrom his repertoire\u00E2\u0080\u0094new, old, and rare\u00E2\u0080\u0094and was\nsure to lace the performance with advertisements\nfor his 'after party' at Richard's on Richards, to\nwhich 'all' were invited.\nIn no time at all, the Beastie Boys took over\nby running out onto the video-screen-covered\nstage following a little skit in which a camera\nfollowed Mix Master Mike from selling beer at a\nstand to climbing up onto his pedestal to do what\nhe does best. The Beastie Boys, dressed in ever-so-\ntrendy green jumpsuits with yellow stripes, started\nthe night off with a definite favourite, 'Root Down',\nand followed it up with 'Sure Shot' before playing\nsome newer tracks. Theaseowd's interest vy|||petd\";\nby the Beastie Boys through their high-energy set\nand crowd interaction, including frequent ventures\nby MCA out into the sea of raised arms and sailing\nbodies (in fact, I'm almost certain that at least\nseveral of those crowd surfers just barely escaped\ndeath. They were Hying).\nSome of the more notable moments in the\nBeastie Boys' set were: groups of songs linked by\nintermittent pieces of Will Ferrell doing his- George\nBush impression, the guys and a few extras coming\nout as a five-piece mariachiesque band on a\nwedding reception-style stage setup to play several\nof the instrumental songs that nobody would have\notherwise expected to hear live, and the Beastie\nBoys coming out to do an encore 'Intergalactic' on\nthe upper level of the venue-.\nThe music was great, 'the level of Intensity\nwas high, the encores were plentiful and when\nMix Master Mike started up the music to 'Brass\nMonkey', I thought the entire venue was going to\nexplode. Both times. The Beastie Boys eventually\nhad to leave so that at least several people would\nhead downtown to the Talib Kweli after party (in\nresponse to which Mike D was heard to exclaim 'if\nit's gonna be that type of party, ima stick my dick in\nthe mashed potatoes'), but they played for as long\nas they possibly could, coming back again and\nagain, and finishing everything off, to the delight of\nthe crowd, with 'Sabotage'.\nKimberley Day\nSHiNDiG: Night Two\nThe Little Death\nSalmon Arm\nSeptember 21\nRailway Club\nThis week's SHINDIG line-up included the likes\nof The Little Death, Salmon Arm and Mandown. The\nLittle Djiath opened, artd^ddly, weren't cheeky\nfpost-rvPPwave intellectuals; Instead, they were\nmore of an...l'm not sure - indie prog-rock act,\nperhaps? With hints of Pavement, Rush and even a\nlittle Yes, they were hard to pin down, but give the\nboys credit for reaching for that rainbow. Only, in\nmy mind, they're still mired in the mud. It is true, they\nhave potential, but they need to do some serious\npractising to get to where (it appears) they want to\nbe, where muscianship can outshine the song.\nSalmon Arm was really much more like f\nexpected TLD to be like. Gorgeous instrumentais\ncrossed with the occasional rocker, but all very\natmospheric. The best thing I can probably say\nabout them is that they both hinted at, and made\nme want to list, 'Houses of the Holy'. Featuring a\nceHo (it's amazing what a rich sound that instrument\ncan produce), guitar, bass & drums, they kept things\nin a lower key that begged for a smoke-filled room.\nVocals, when there were any, were throw-away,\nbut I didn't think the band any weaker for it.\nAfter an interminable & wretched 'Jokes For\nBeer', Mandown came on, sporting a drum kit with\na skull painted on, a classic hair-metal guitar (you\nknow - the angular 'star-shaped' kind), and a look\nthat would make Blink-182 appear hardcore, I\nwas really worried that we'd get some pop-punk\npap from the trio. They were, instead, really quite\nrespectable. Way too loud for me, and certainly\nnot my style of music, but they were decent, and\nsadly, completely forgettable too.\nI left before Mandown had left the stage, as I\nwas getting a headache. Given my opinions, and\nhaving chatted some with the other judges during\nthe course of the show, I was quite surprised to hear\nthat The Little Death had won the night. A pity, in\nmy opinion, but that's the glory of SHiNDiG. And\nnow, I'll get to give them a second chance (which\nI'll admit, they're worthy of) in the next round.\nSteve Tannock\n13\nSeptember 25\nWhite River Amphitheatre\nAuburn, Washington\nApparently Seattle's 'original alternative radio\nstation,' 107.7 the End, missed the memo that said\nmodern rock radio festivals are supposed to feature\nheadliners like Linkin Park and Velvet Revolver.\nLucky for me, not so lucky for the beefy dudes in\nthe West Coast Chopper t-shirts looking for a faux\nguitar god to flash the ol' devil horns at.\nMy road trip compatriots and I managed to\nfind our way into the amphitheatre just in time to\nsee Metric. It's always tough being the opening\nact, but that didn't stop Metric from rocking like\nthey were headlining the show. James Shaw\nand Joshua Winstead swung their guitars around,\nflanking Emily Haines as she shook and pranced\naround the stage. They ended with an extended\nversion of 'Dead Disco' before waving goodbye.\nNext up was Muse, who for some reason\nattracted everybody who still thinks it's 1992,\nJeremy spoke in class today, and moshing is 'totally\nrad dude!' Crowd aside. Muse were their usually\ngrand selves. All those prog-rock bits that sound a\nlittle too 'ELO' on record were just what you want\non a massive festival stage, and Matt Bellamy sold\nevery note with his fist pumping, spinning, and\n-r-\u00C2\u00ABno,N%!^ &\u00C2\u00A3>y>\nguitar windmilling.\nThe theme of the show was old and new. So,\nnext up were the Psychedelic Furs. Apologies if\nyou're big fan. But, I took this as my cue to get\nsome food.\nWe made it back onto the floor in time for the\nYeah Yeah Yeahs. Taking advantage of the two-\nsided rotating stage (yeah, you read that right -\nAmerican ingenuity baby), Nick Zinner, aka coolest\nguy on the planet, had already started the intra\nto 'Y-Control' as the band spun into place. It may\nhave been the middle of the day, but Karen O was\nthere to be the star. She swung her microphone\naround, rolled around on the stage and yelped\nand growled her way through a set that saw four\nnew songs cozy up with favourites like 'Art Star' and\nAfter the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, punk legends, X\nwere up. They played all the 'hits' fit you can all\nthem that), and John Doe ran around playing his\nbass like it was 1981. Still, something was missing.\nThey weren't bad by any stretch of the imagination,\nbut it was evident thafE well\u00C2\u00A3 they were old.\nThe Violent Femmes followed X. And, unlike\nyouthful punk anthems, songs about being youthful\nand dorky never age. The Ferfimes sounded tight.\nNot only that, but it seemed like everyone there\nwas a fan (who knew!?). 'Blister in the Sun\" was the\npredictable sing along, but 'Add it Up,' 'American\nMusic' and 'Gone Daddy Gone' were equally well\nreceived. Gordon Gano was nearly drowned out\nduring the pill popping count of 'Kiss Off.'\nThe first thing that came out of Alex Kapranos'\nmouth, after Franz Ferdinand came-on, was praise\nfor the Violent Femmes, but it was clear from the\nopening notes of 'Cheating On You' who the bulk\nof the crowd was there to see. The crowd surfing\nand slam dancing that had been going on all day\ncontinued, but the mosh pit was dwarfed by the\ndance floor. Irony: half naked sweaty guy who\ntold my friend not to be 'such a pussy' slamming\nhis naked chest into his half naked sweaty friend to\nthe beat of 'Michael.' Franz rocked harder than\ndiamonds!: in that dancy 'we're the Scottish Strokes\nbut ten times better than those boring rich tads'\nway. iSissJsili\n:-OlfelK) and the Bunnymen had the misfortune\nof following Franz Ferdinand, and ended up\nplaying to a hatf empty amphitheatre because\nof it. To top off the MIA audience members, Ian\nMcCulloch was in one foul mood. This, of course\nwasn't disappointing, but ended up being more\nentertaining than the band members, who seemed\nbored to be there. McCulloch berated soundmen\nand audience members, but was witty enough to\nalmost make up for aborting 'Bring on the Dancing\nHorses.'\nThus, my EndFest adventure was over.\nThe Presidents of the United States of America\nheadlined, but we were on our way to the car\nalready. No, seriously- Those guys. You know,\n'Lump.' I'm at a loss to explain how they headlined\nover the likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but it helped\nus avoid waiting to get out of the parking lot, so I'm\nnot complaining.\nQuinn Omori o\nDiSCORDER OCTOBER 2004\nH DOERS*\nJ|fc-V4\u00C2\u00BB&GEYES*\n03 CINCH*\n04 GUITAR WOLF\n06 ROBOSEXUALS*\n# kATOMIC 7*\n08 TO ROCOCO ROT\n09 PINKMOUNWIhiTOPS*\n10 HIDDEN CAMERAS*\n11 DIAMANDA GALAS\n12 TEGAN AND SARA*\n13 BLACK KEYS\n14 DANDiWIND*\n15 BLACK RICE*\n16 BJORK\n17 PO'<3JP*3|?.\n18 SADIES\n19 LE FLY PAN AM*\n20 I CLINIC\n- ^^*NOCKOUT PILLS\n22 CONVERGE\n23 ZOLAR X\n24 SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE\n:|||2|rIlJUANA BIBLES*\n2\u00C2\u00A9 ELIZABETH*\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0*\u00C2\u00BB OX)A\u00C2\u00BB\n28 WOLF EYES\n29 DRAGONS\n30 WILLIAM SHATNER*\n41 t'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'BLOOD MERIDIAN* ; \,\n32 MOUSE ON MARS\n33 A.C.
