Sunday, January 17, 2010 Fiona I spent a while last night with a friend trolling through YouTube videos including a number by Fiona Apple and discovered that I somehow managed to miss this gem from her last record Extraordinary Machine, featuring none other than Zach Galifianakis. Also, inaugural "crushes" addition: Fiona Apple.

After our last effort in "re-appraising" Pearl Jam's No Code, Jay and I thought it would be fun to head towards a record of old that we might still want to listen to today. After running through a few choices, we settled on Sonic Youth's classic 1992 album Dirty, their second release for Geffen and the first where they finally had begun receiving some mainstream attention... hence Jay and I both listening to it before we had any real taste. Let the re-appraising commence. Note that this post is deprariously long. Sometimes you just gotta let it run free:  jaychampionvinyl: I'm so ready you can call me Helen JeffreyBeaumont: GREAT. 1, 2, 3, GO JeffreyBeaumont: oh man this fucking intro. I LOVE IT. jaychampionvinyl: this .... doesn't sound old. JeffreyBeaumont: i forgot that 100% is my favorite Sonic Youth song jaychampionvinyl: it sounds like amazing. jaychampionvinyl: this is not going to be an elevated critical discussion...it's mostly going to be "OMG!" JeffreyBeaumont: dude, this is the first sonic youth song i ever heard JeffreyBeaumont: i had heard so much nirvana-related buzz about this band, over and over jaychampionvinyl: same! JeffreyBeaumont: i ordered this record in 94 from Columbia House JeffreyBeaumont: or maybe it was BMG jaychampionvinyl: trivia question: do you remember what other records arrived with it? (something tells me maybe you do) JeffreyBeaumont: no JeffreyBeaumont: that was 93 JeffreyBeaumont: but JeffreyBeaumont: i remember hearing 100% and thinking, "WHOA WOW WTF AWESOME LOUDNESS" JeffreyBeaumont: but then "Swimsuit Issue" came on JeffreyBeaumont: and i'm like, "Who the FUCK is singing? Is that a woman?" jaychampionvinyl: hahahahahahaha, yeah JeffreyBeaumont: it's so atonal jaychampionvinyl: it sounds like it could either be a woman or a really pinched sounding bratty annoying 20 year old man JeffreyBeaumont: yes jaychampionvinyl: "I ain't givin you head in a Sunset bungalow!" jaychampionvinyl: fair enough, Kim JeffreyBeaumont: despite reading over and over that SY was "experimental" JeffreyBeaumont: i still was expecting super melodious riffage ala Nirvana jaychampionvinyl: I actually DIDN'T like 100% at all when I first heard it jaychampionvinyl: too "atonal" jaychampionvinyl: the guy "couldn't sing" JeffreyBeaumont: yeah i think i'm overemphasizing the awesome JeffreyBeaumont: i think on very first listen i probably didn't like it JeffreyBeaumont: but i think i came around quickly jaychampionvinyl: I saw the video on 120 Minutes and was like "this song would be awesome if he sang it right" JeffreyBeaumont: i remember learning years later how to play it on guitar jaychampionvinyl: hahahah "DETUNE GUITAR, HIT WITH FACE" JeffreyBeaumont: in order to do so, you need to detune the low FOUR strings to F# JeffreyBeaumont: so it's like F# F# F# F# E B JeffreyBeaumont: that was probably 96 or 97 when i tried that JeffreyBeaumont: and suddenly i remember understanding why it all sounded so sludgy JeffreyBeaumont: i also remember being tremendously annoyed that i then was unable to play ANY other songs on my guitar until i tuned it back JeffreyBeaumont: but to go back to Swimsuit Issue JeffreyBeaumont: the hilarious thing about that is that despite the fact that I hated the song JeffreyBeaumont: i had just gotten my first subscription to Sports Illustrated the previous year and i remmeber my mouth actually dropping as I began recognizing every name that Kim mouthed JeffreyBeaumont: "Those are the models in the magazine!" JeffreyBeaumont: Including one she mentions named Vendela, who was the cover girl in '93 jaychampionvinyl: hahahahaha JeffreyBeaumont: i'm googling it right now JeffreyBeaumont: but without even looking i remember she was wearing a silver strangely shaped suit either on the cover or on one of the pages inside JeffreyBeaumont: BOOM! http://swimsuit-issue.com/1993.html JeffreyBeaumont: god i loved that shit JeffreyBeaumont: i probably looked at it 500 times JeffreyBeaumont: anyway.... jaychampionvinyl: wow jaychampionvinyl: her boobs don't even look like boods jaychampionvinyl: they look like shoulders jaychampionvinyl: on her chest JeffreyBeaumont: yeah Vendela was never exciting to me JeffreyBeaumont: but look to the left JeffreyBeaumont: i LOVED the redhead girl JeffreyBeaumont: and Ashley Richardson below her jaychampionvinyl: hahaha, I love that this discussion has turned, three tracks in, to a discussion of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models JeffreyBeaumont: yes. two tracks actually. JeffreyBeaumont: but that's the thing JeffreyBeaumont: i didn't know anything about music in 93 JeffreyBeaumont: and really only understood pop music JeffreyBeaumont: but getting back to things tho... JeffreyBeaumont: Theresa's JeffreyBeaumont: i was like, "Whoa, 'dark'", with that spindly guitar jaychampionvinyl: this is the first noise smear on this recorfd jaychampionvinyl: sounds sickly jaychampionvinyl: funny how there is still the pentatonic riffing to hold onto tho JeffreyBeaumont: really creepy JeffreyBeaumont: because the noise is built up jaychampionvinyl: it's never TOO far JeffreyBeaumont: it's actually pretty digestible dark early 90s grunge/indie JeffreyBeaumont: and as i grew up i came to LOVE the noise breakdown JeffreyBeaumont: but then as soon as that ends... JeffreyBeaumont: "Drunken Butterfly" JeffreyBeaumont: SCREEEEECH JeffreyBeaumont: I remmeber thinking by track 4, "What is this shit? Why do people compare these guys to Nirvana?!?" jaychampionvinyl: yeah, its funny how little this record makes me think of the time period iduring which it was released jaychampionvinyl: Sonic Youth, as a band, were a college experience for me jaychampionvinyl: I owned this and played it dutifully jaychampionvinyl: but it got about 1/100000th of the burn that, like, Ritual De Lo Habitual, Live THrough This, and Mellon Collie did jaychampionvinyl: to me, this feels very much like "now" music JeffreyBeaumont: i hear you JeffreyBeaumont: it's diffeernt for me, at least with this record (and to a lesser extent Daydream Nation) JeffreyBeaumont: because i sort of forced myself to listen and appreciate. not any others, but this one. JeffreyBeaumont: "Shoot" brings it back down though JeffreyBeaumont: I just love love this track and always did JeffreyBeaumont: ok... so i'm on "Wish Fulfillment" now JeffreyBeaumont: THIS song makes me think of the early 90s JeffreyBeaumont: way more than Thurston, lee renaldo's voice to me says "90S INDIE ROCK" Jayson: makes me think of, like, "Heart Shaped Box" meets Metallica's "One" Jayson: and agreed on the voice. Jayson: this is a way of singing that only existed during the George Herbert Walker Bush administration and the first Clinton term. JeffreyBeaumont: haha yes. JeffreyBeaumont: i always rememebr thinking that i liked his voice better than thurston's even though i knew it was worse JeffreyBeaumont: on a final supermodel-related note http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?s=a2cf16654290c50afcd7b7dff636f224&act=attach&type=post&id=261432 JeffreyBeaumont: this photo blew me away JeffreyBeaumont: from either 93 or 95 SI swimsuit issue JeffreyBeaumont: oh Ashley JeffreyBeaumont: basically listening to this record makes me think of sitting in my room late at night in 6th and 7th grade and flipping through my saved (never discarded) issues of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, as I pondered notions of adolescence and my burgeoning sexuality jaychampionvinyl: hahahahah jaychampionvinyl: BASICALLY THIS WAS MY WANKING RECORD JeffreyBeaumont: yes JeffreyBeaumont: so JeffreyBeaumont: "Sugar Kane" you there jaychampionvinyl: sorry, yes...I just restarted Sugar Kane jaychampionvinyl: I'm back on track JeffreyBeaumont: this was the first song I remmeber really clicking when i began listening as an adult jaychampionvinyl: Sugar Kane? JeffreyBeaumont: like, at some point at age 17 or so i put it on and suddenly it blew me away JeffreyBeaumont: and it was like, at that exact moment i finally "got" sonic youth jaychampionvinyl: god this record is so so so good JeffreyBeaumont: yes, and this song in particular jaychampionvinyl: whoa, this outro is such an unexpected sunray JeffreyBeaumont: yes JeffreyBeaumont: and i definitely liked this track in the early days.... but i didn't get it JeffreyBeaumont: like most of this record JeffreyBeaumont: but in some way it feels like this track more than anything else from the 91-95 period... which explains why Sonic Youth were associated with grunge Jayson: I think it also has a lot to do with Thurston's vocal inflections JeffreyBeaumont: it does JeffreyBeaumont: but i think it also has to do with the intersection between melodious guitars and off-the-path experimentation JeffreyBeaumont: like, the next track "Orange Rolls" doesn't sound THAT crazy compared to a lot of real indie stuff from the time JeffreyBeaumont: but compared to mainstream indie/grunge it sounds like atonal craziness JeffreyBeaumont: "Sugar Kane" seems like some real meeting point between the worlds JeffreyBeaumont: "Orange Rolls" jaychampionvinyl: Orange Rolls JeffreyBeaumont: this was one more track i hated JeffreyBeaumont: i just could not understand these trashy kim songs jaychampionvinyl: her voice is an acquired taste jaychampionvinyl: kiinnda sounds like Jimbo from the Simpsons retching JeffreyBeaumont: there was a huge dichotomy of warm thurston and uncle lee and creepy skeezthrash momma Kim jaychampionvinyl: hahaha jaychampionvinyl: great fucking breakdown/jamout section in this one, tho JeffreyBeaumont: yes, that is something as an adult i can appreciate and actually love jaychampionvinyl: it's so uncanny how loosely tight they are jaychampionvinyl I realize sounds aggressively meaningless jaychampionvinyl: but it's such a weird trick JeffreyBeaumont: hahah JeffreyBeaumont: it is jaychampionvinyl: to sound together, but JUST BARELY jaychampionvinyl: to be able to cohere JeffreyBeaumont: i think that's the detuning thing JeffreyBeaumont: making them sound atonal/amateurish JeffreyBeaumont: but in fact tremendously in sync with one another jaychampionvinyl: yes, but I've seen them jam live and it really is an esxperience of watching four musicians tear everything down JeffreyBeaumont: oh man JeffreyBeaumont: so we are now at what for me in 1993/4 was THE BEST moment jaychampionvinyl: YOUTH AGAINST jaychampionvinyl: FASCISM JeffreyBeaumont: yes JeffreyBeaumont: the first 10 times i played this record this was the ONLY song i understood JeffreyBeaumont: it was also the a) the only song i easily learned how to play on guitar and b) the only one not requiring me to retune my guitar$$$$ jaychampionvinyl: hahaha yes jaychampionvinyl: I can see a young Beaumont in my mind jaychampionvinyl: gingerly finding the chords jaychampionvinyl: and then strumming hard on them JeffreyBeaumont: think they were like E / G / A / D / D JeffreyBeaumont: No-- G / D / C / A / A [after checking] jaychampionvinyl: haha JeffreyBeaumont: in hindsight this seems to be the least interesting song on the record JeffreyBeaumont: i rememebr reading the liner notes on seeing that it was the only song with a guest musician JeffreyBeaumont: "Xtra guitar: Ian MacKaye" JeffreyBeaumont: i remember thinking, "Whoever this dude is, he's obviously more of a rocker than these guys" JeffreyBeaumont: Yeah. jaychampionvinyl: the back half of this is starting to lose me in its jam waters JeffreyBeaumont: yeah JeffreyBeaumont: nic fit = weird nothing JeffreyBeaumont: On the Strip though jaychampionvinyl: yes, I typed that RIGHT before Kim's vox started in JeffreyBeaumont: it gets unjammy again jaychampionvinyl: this is like the clearest moment on the entire CD jaychampionvinyl: the fog parts jaychampionvinyl: and then there's creepy Kim jaychampionvinyl: whispering at you jaychampionvinyl: and it's way scarier than when she screams jaychampionvinyl: because now she's actually a Woman jaychampionvinyl: and they're pretty scary JeffreyBeaumont: she was probably the creepiest musician i'd yet encountered JeffreyBeaumont: oh man and then Chapel Hill is a brilliant rainbow jaychampionvinyl: yeah Thurston comes back and is like, "it's cool bro, she's gone. wanna go through 7 inches with me?" jaychampionvinyl: "it was all a bad dream" JeffreyBeaumont: "WANT TO FEEL SAFE TONIGHT" JeffreyBeaumont: "DON'T WANT TO SLEEP WITH THE VULTURE LADY!" jaychampionvinyl: hahaha YES YES JeffreyBeaumont: 2:49 JeffreyBeaumont: !!!!!!!!! jaychampionvinyl: this was a guitar freakout I could get down with JeffreyBeaumont: man, this record has some fucking GREAT breakdowns/bridges/codas/outros jaychampionvinyl: places to get lost jaychampionvinyl: so many good ones JeffreyBeaumont: none of which feature eddie vedder moaning, "COME TO ME / COME TO GOD" jaychampionvinyl: hahaha jaychampionvinyl: gives me that BTS feeling, circa Perfect From Now On, so much glorious friendly noise to lie down in JeffreyBeaumont: with really beautiful tight spindly but jammy guitar lines and riffs JeffreyBeaumont: another Kim song JeffreyBeaumont: which now sounds reasonable JeffreyBeaumont: but even this track was just weird for me jaychampionvinyl: did I miss Kim? I stood up to watch a video of babies being dropped from balconies onto blankets in India JeffreyBeaumont: yeah, but then Purr! JeffreyBeaumont: it's like they play good cop bad cop on this record jaychampionvinyl: I was just gonna say the same JeffreyBeaumont: thurston gets the fun major scale sunsmiles jaychampionvinyl: yes! JeffreyBeaumont: and kim gets the dour "scare their children" creepscapes jaychampionvinyl: it's like Kim's the camp counselor who tells the creepy ghost story and Thurston's the guy counselor who jokes with you afterward and convinces you it wasn't real jaychampionvinyl: while Kim just stares at you stonfaced, nodding, mouthing "It IS real. YOu're going to die." JeffreyBeaumont: and then wakes up at night by rapping on your window and peering through it at you with a candle next to her face jaychampionvinyl: haaa you get it exactly JeffreyBeaumont: and then, finally, the fuckstick of "Creme Brulee" JeffreyBeaumont: a track which is about as unlike the dessert as any music i could imagine jaychampionvinyl: this is when she sneaks into your cabin at 3am and fucks you in the ass with a stick while whispering this into your ear jaychampionvinyl: and on THAT NOTE jaychampionvinyl: little known fact: creme brulee is slang for a horribly invasive sex act JeffreyBeaumont: really? jaychampionvinyl: no JeffreyBeaumont: "i'm so happy we're just friends" jaychampionvinyl: right, as she withdraws stick and leaves jaychampionvinyl: that's her parting line jaychampionvinyl: door slams jaychampionvinyl: "Don't tell Bobby about our fun" JeffreyBeaumont: if kim deal spied me through my bedroom window late one night JeffreyBeaumont: she could do whatever she wanted to me if she broke in to my apartment and came in my room jaychampionvinyl: or even Kim Gordon JeffreyBeaumont: hahaha, ideally, both of them, at once JeffreyBeaumont: today, in 2009 jaychampionvinyl: right jaychampionvinyl: hahahahahaha jaychampionvinyl: good lord jaychampionvinyl: a spectral art hag and a weird, dumpy trucker lesbian JeffreyBeaumont: when i first heard the song "Little Trouble Girl" (from Washing Machine) in college i actually creamed my pants JeffreyBeaumont: like, "Oh hey Shrimp Cracker, i need to go home. My pants are creamed" jaychampionvinyl: hahahahahaha JeffreyBeaumont: why couldn't have kim deal just made an entire record with sonic youth? on the topic of things that should have happened but never even sort of did jaychampionvinyl: Umm. yeah, I gotta go. LISTEN: Sonic Youth - "100%" from Dirty Sonic Youth - "Sugar Kane" from Dirty Sonic Youth - "Swimsuit Issue" from Dirty NOTES: $$$$ -- Actually, according to this fan-made page of SY album tunings, even "Youth Against Facism" uses special tunings; in fact, out of their entire discography after the first EP, only the track "Mildred Pierce" uses a standard EADGBE guitar tuning (excepting the Stooges and Crime covers "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "Hot Wire My Heart"). Seriously, wow. Amazing, yes. But Willful Obscurantists, I'd call them, also.

Wow. A convergence of my favorite musician right now and my number one heart throb rock crush of all time, doing my favorite song she's ever written. I'm not even gonna do anything with this other than reblog Bradford's entry on the Deerhunter/Atlas Sound blog. The only thing I will add is that it isn't just Bradford who bleeds Deal--Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt puckers for them as well, and actually posted a lo-fi gauzy cover of "Bragging Party" tothe Deerhunter/Atlas Sound/ Lotus Plaza blog back in 2007 (long before there really was a Lotus Plaza, even), prompting this hilarious comment from Bradford:

Why? Well, not only is the interview great (and I love the Breeders and everything they do), but Kim Deal is my first and oldest crush and she still, fifteen years later, sets my heart aflutter everytime I read/see/hear anything that has to do with her. Cassie, Nomi, I'm sorry--when Kim's in town I have to ask you to step aside. (Luckily she lives in Ohio with her sister so this isn't regularly an issue. Come back to me now, please.) Anyway, the interview discusses the upcoming release of their new self-issued EP Fate to Fatal, the future of the Pixies, and other fun topics. You should check out the whole thing at the link above, but I loved this part and paste it here for you now: Kim: I don't know if anybody's going to buy [the EP]. I assume one person will download it, and everybody else will steal it. I have no idea what people do nowadays. People might actually buy digital music. Do you know if they do? Despite the fact that this passage includes a bit of what kills me about pfork writing (writer dude, come on! stay out of the way! please!), I was cracking up here. If you caught the Pixies reunion docloudQUIETloud--please check it out if you haven't--you have seen the way these two sisters interact with each other and I just love it. I loved the "[to Kelley]" "[to Kim]" part. And their take on the state of the music industry? Man, great. My natural cynicism forces me to read it as a little forced, but these two are also totally nuts, so I won't pretend that I have any real insight into their opinions of the world. Either way, I love it! MORE KIM! NOM FUCKING NOM! MAKE ME COOL AND TRANSPORT ME BACK TO 1993 AND KIM I WILL COME TO DAYTON LOVE YOU AND TEACH YOU TO LEARN TO CRY WITHOUT DRUGS AND THE LATE 90S WON'T HAVE TO BE SUCH A BLUR! Anyways, you got my number next time you plan in Brooklyn. love, Jeffrey LISTEN: The Breeders - "You Always Hang Around (Divine Hammer)", from Pod Demos (unreleased) The Breeders - "Regalame Esta Noche" from Mountain Battles Kim Deal & Bob Pollard - "Love Hurts"***, fromLove and a .45 OST NOTES: ***-- I fucking love this one!!!!!!!

Why? I am not exactly sure, and I don't think it's intentional. Perhaps it's cuz I did the wimmin studies*** n' shit, or maybe just because I like to keep my tastes to myself when it comes to matters of the heart (I am fairly certain most of the people who spend time with me would dispute the claim with a hearty laugh of dismissal). But for whatever reason, I give most of my love to music makers, basketball players, and the strange people I come across in my travels across the world and the internets. All of which, I suppose, makes it curious that the first lady I choose to feature nerdlove for is in fact not a lady at all, but the stunning transsexual Nomi Ruiz, singer of 2008 all-the-rage Hercules and Love Affair. I came on to the H&LA record a little late in the game (compared to average warp speed NYC taste timelines), but let me be the 1,000,000 person to add my four cents that HL&A is a fantastic, wonderful, joyous record that celebrates the great throb of music in life. I can't say enough about it and it should appeal to literally anyone who either loves pop music or enjoys moving their body rhythmically. I have been listening to this record for probably six months or so, but it wasn't until I watched New York Noise### tonight and saw a live Nomi-sung performance of "Blind" that I realized that she is in fact destined to be my fantasy crush for the next few months. I understand the theoretical hilarity of these PROPS, but sometimes you just gotta transcend boundaries, you know? Those legs! Seriously! Nomi, you are a million feet tall and a million times DREAMBOAT. Yes yes. So Nomi, if your internet travels bring you here, give me a call. In preparation, I will listen to one song on your records each day until I hear from you. Don't keep a boy waiting. hearts, Jeffrey Listen: Hercules and Love Affair - "Hercules Theme", from s/t album Hercules and Love Affair - "I'm Telling You", from s/t album (iTunes only b-side) NOTES $ - Call me out on this shit if I'm wrong; I've done literally zero research into checking whether or not this is in fact true. *** - Seriously. ### - Yay Shirley!!! New York Noise is amazing and you are also incredibly awesome (and cute). If you live in NYC and have never seen NYN, give Shirley some love and check out channel 25 at midnight on Sundays. Expect to get a fresh overview of whatever is new and happening in the world of indie rock and roll. Holla!
