  • Dirty Three RAGE guest programmers!!!

    7 Oct 2008, 13:51 by BlackCoffeeDuck

    On the 19th August 2006 Dirty Three guest programmed RAGE. Dirty Three is my favourite band. And RAGE is a late night Aussie TV show which invites bands or artists to pick favourite songs or video clips or the video clips of their favourite songs. At this time it was Dirty Three’s last full Aussie tour for the new album Cinder which was a year old anyway. So writing now means it has been almost five years since a new Dirty Three album. At the moment bands like Portishead and The Drones are my favourite bands but off course both have pulled out new albums this year. Portishead took ten years for Third but it is one of the greatest albums ever. But I hope Dirty Three don’t take that long for a new album.

    Warren Ellis has joined Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and started a new band with Nick Cave called Grinderman. Jim White is playing for Cat Power, PJ Harvey, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Beth Orton, Nina Nastasia so he’s a drummer for hire for anyone he wants to play for. Mick Turner has been the quietest but has had solo albums and painting exhibitions. Dirty Three have played together a few times but these shows are getting less and less. Since this tour they have done Chinese tour, curated the ATP festival in England and played festival shows in France, Spain, Australia and the last one being The End of the Road festival in England. So there haven’t broke up but just haven’t done anything new for a long time. Anyone who has not seen the Dirty Three DVD which came out last year should check it out because it’s the closest to a new album and one of the greatest music docos and live show double DVD ever.

    Anyway here what Dirty Three picked that night -
    Nina Simone - PlayRevolution
    Erykah Badu - PlayTyrone
    Ol' Dirty Bastard - I Got Your Money
    Cat Power - Living Proof
    Deerhoof - PlayWrong Time Capsule
    Art of Fighting - Reasons Are All I Have Left
    Joanna Newsom - PlaySprout And The Bean
    Art of Fighting - The Unappreciated
    Smog - PlayI Feel Like The Mother Of The World
    Joel Silbersher - Through the manoeuvres
    Tendrils - Soaking Red
    Joel Silbersher - Flappin' On A Hook
    Russell Morris - PlaySweet Sweet Love
    Robert Forster - Baby Stones
    Palace Brothers - Ohio River Boat Song
    Crow - Railhead
    Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin'
    Them - PlayBaby Please Don't Go
    Canned Heat - PlayOn The Road Again
    Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - PlayIce Cream for Crow
    Beasts of Bourbon - PlayWords from a Woman to Her Man
    Ed Kuepper - The Way I Made You Feel
    Dave Graney with the White Buffaloes - Robert Ford On The Stage
    Dragon - Get That Jive
    Slade - Get Down & Get With It
    Rose Tattoo - Rock & Roll Outlaw
    God - My Pal
    The Saints - Run Down
    Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The U.K.
    The Only Ones - Another Girl, Another Planet
    The Stooges - Loose
    Laughing Clowns - Holy Joe
    The Reels - Bad Moon Rising
    Jimmy Cliff - Reggae Night
    Bob Dylan - Things Have Changed
    The Who - Can't Explain
    The Birthday Party - Release The Bats
    Einstürzende Neubauten - Halber Mensche

    Well what happens next is RAGE plays all of the Dirty Three video clips which you don’t really get to see that often. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds videos follow that night too. If anyone knows what the Dirty Three are up to now please let me know. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

  • Sarah Blasko RAGE guest programmer!!!

    7 Oct 2008, 13:21 by BlackCoffeeDuck

    On the 5th November 2005 Sarah Blasko was the RAGE guest programmer so I’m going to list it in this journal on last.fm. Sarah Blasko is my favourite female singer, along with PJ Harvey and Beth Gibbons, but Sarah is the only one who has guest programmed RAGE. I did a journal about Nick Cave (check my older journals for that) and he’s my favourite male singer along with Bob Dylan and Tom Waits but they haven’t done RAGE either. I’m going to do a journal about when Dirty Three were RAGE guest programmers, which is my favourite band. The Drones and Portishead are other favourite bands but once again neither have guest programmed RAGE. If some how I’ve missed these bands and they have done RAGE please let me know.

    I’m going to link all the songs Sarah Blasko picked that night for easy to find. Maybe you should look the videos up on youtube if you wanted to see them because RAGE is a TV show if you don’t know. If you live overseas or on another planet, RAGE is an Aussie late night TV show that bands or artists pick their favourite songs and show video clips for the songs. They talk about some but don’t really say any thing more than “I love this song” type of thing. I do have Sarah’s night on video tape if I can find it and plug in the video player, see what she has to say. I do remember she invited someone from her band in to talk about his favourite band which I think is the R.E.M. song but that is from memory.

    Anyway here is the list below -
    Radiohead - Pyramid Song
    UNKLE - Rabbit In Your Headlights
    Interpol - Evil
    The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??
    The Sleepy Jackson - Sunkids
    Wilco - Shot in the Arm
    Cat Power - He War
    PJ Harvey - A Place Called Home
    Kelis - Caught Out There
    Missy Elliott - Work It
    Pulp - This is Hardcore
    Babybird - Bad Old Man
    Tricky - Poems
    The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
    Underground Lovers - Losin' It
    The Smiths - Ask
    R.E.M. - South Central Rain
    Smudge - Hot Potato
    Belle and Sebastian - Lazy Line Painter Jane
    Badly Drawn Boy - Silent Sigh
    Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Breathless
    Sounds Like Sunset - Each Time You Smile
    Youth Group - Skeleton Jar
    dEUS - Instant Street
    The Muppets - Rainbow Connection
    Joanna Newsom - Sprout & The Bean
    Björk - Pagan Poetry
    Sparklehorse - Sunshine
    Heligoland - Lo Scavo
    Scud Mountain Boys - Penthouse In The Woods
    Dave Graney 'N' the Coral Snakes - Rock 'N' Roll Is Where I Hide
    Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again
    INXS - Original Sin
    The Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
    Sonic Youth - Sunday
    Frente! - Ordinary Angels
    Wheat - Don't I Hold You
    Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
    Holly Throsby - We're Good People But Why Don't We Show It?
    The Shins - New Slang

    Well that is it. What happens next is RAGE plays all of Sarah video clips and that night it was followed by all of Kate Bush’s video clips too. If anyone knows what Sarah is up to now please let me know. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

  • Top 25 Albums of 2007

    4 Oct 2008, 23:19 by aboylikeroger

    Starting to make my top album lists, going backwards. Here's 2007.

    25. HEALTH by HEALTH


    Much like an album later on this list, I heard the new one before.... I do appreciate their electronic efforts more.

    However, this is a good, little album.





    24. Untrue by Burial


    This album is very good. *whispers* I think it's overrated though.

    Obviously PlayArchangel is the highlight.





    23. Spirit If... by Kevin Drew


    Okay. First, let's just acknowledge my love for the artwork. Okay... done.

    I am in agreement with the majority's opinion that say this is just weaker Broken Social Scene. It very well could be a Broken Social Scene album, but I assure you that they only presented Mr. Drew.

    The album is great, nonetheless, and could hold a spot on the list for Backed Out On The... alone. Wow.





    22. The Reminder by Feist


    Oh, how cute! They're right next to each other!

    I can't say I know for sure what she's trying to remind us about, but I recognise that she did very well. Very well.

    The singles are what do it for me. PlayMy Moon My Man, for example, is utterly listenable. Of course, of course, of course... Play1234. There's a reason that song is so popular.





    21. Weirdo Rippers by No Age


    Heard it after I heard Nouns, so with an album like that there's definitely room for some disappointment, but not much.

    Loves it.





    20. Wild Mountain Nation by Blitzen Trapper


    It seems like an album like this has every reason to provoke the word "Blah", but it doesn't. A very, very nice little surprise.

    Short, simple, very listenable songs.





    19. Boxer by The National


    I'm not feeling this album as much as I did on the first few listens and certainly not as much as I did when I saw them outperform Modest Mouse when they opened for them with The Breeders.

    Regardless, this album is truly great and definitely holds its spot on this list well.





    18. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga by Spoon


    First listen did, more or less, nothing for me. However, on the second listen, I warmed up to it. By the third, I realised how great it was and how fucking INCREDIBLE You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb is. Wowsville!





    17. Neon Bible by The Arcade Fire


    Okay... I don't know how to truly feel about this album. My opinion will always be changing. My first listen was (biased) that I fucking HATED it. Then my second and few subsequent listens were that I loved it.

    Now, I'm somewhere in between... I think I'd have to separate the songs.

    Anyway, I believe that Black Wave/Bad Vibrations and The Well and the Lighthouse should be mentioned, since they never are and I believe them to be truly great songs.

    Also, Neon Bible, the title track obviously, should be mentioned. A 0/10 song. I'm serious. Ugh. How can I love an album with a title track this bad?

    Well, I'll tell you how. The final two tracks. HOLY FUCK. A significantly better remake of one of their bests, PlayNo Cars Go, and the absolute tearjerker My Body Is a Cage. Two perfect songs that, more or less, make up for the things I don't like about this record.





    16. Cryptograms by Deerhunter


    Okay. The artwork needs to be applauded here as well. As well as the album. An amazing ambient album. Enough said.





    15. Cross by Justice


    I'm a little uncomfortable putting it this high. I have some issues with Justice: primarily the song Valentine and the fact that they're swishing around the House music sperm of Daft Punk.

    Putting those issues aside, this album is pretty fucking awesome. Even though some of the songs are almost exactly the same too... at least they're really good songs. I even liked the inclusion of Uffie in Tthhee Ppaarrttyy.

    Of course, what truly makes Cross such a good album: DVNO and PlayD.A.N.C.E.. Perfect tracks. Yep, yep.





    14. From Here We Go Sublime by The Field


    An excellent and subtle album.

    A lot has been said about it. I'm not passionate enough about the album to try and one-up anyone else.

    Cool title though. Lame artwork.

    PlayA Paw in My Face is soooooooo good.





    13. New Moon by Elliott Smith


    I don't really wish to go to in depth with this one. I hesitated including it at all.

    However, in my opinion, Either/Or and Elliott Smith were his two best. I have yet to come across a Smith song that I didn't like. This is an astonishing collection of songs and I am thankful they were released at all.





    12. The Flying Club Cup by Beirut


    I originally believed Gulag Orkestar was the better of the two... but upon repeated listens, I recognise this is the better of the two.

    It's just wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Nantes remains the stand-out, but that does not mean the remainder of the album disappoints. Nope.





    11. The Stage Names by Okkervil River


    From the opener Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe to the closer John Allin Smith Sails, this album is solid. Just barely misses the top 10.

    Bravo.





    10. Ys Street Band Ep by Joanna Newsom


    After The Milk-Eyed Mender, easily one of the best debut albums seen this decade, expectations were impossibly high. Then Joanna releases Ys, the album of the decade. Expectations, clearly, need to be lowered for this latest one. They almost don't really need to be.

    Colleen, the only new song on this fantastic EP, is just brilliant. Musically and lyrically. (Maybe not even so much lyrically, the chorus is a single yelp that just makes the song.) Just brilliant and easiy one of the top tracks from 2007.

    We're then faced with two new arrangements. The Milk-Eyed Mender's PlayClam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie and Ys's PlayCosmia, which here times in at over 13 minutes and truly shows the talent of Joanna's Ys Street Band.

    We're reminded of how fucking groundbreaking her previous work is with those two. With Colleen, we see just how amazing her future work will undoubtedly be. A direction that will certainly be welcomed by me.





    9. Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem


    Yes, this album deserves to be this high. Enough has been said about it that I can't really add any insightful opinions or statements.

    Through and through, it's awesome. PlaySomeone Great, the title already says it and PlayAll My Friends is a fucking masterpiece.





    8. Mirrored by Battles


    This album will be the example of what all future math rock will look up and aspire to. PlayRace: In through PlayRace: Out, Mirrored is fucking bitchin'.

    PlayAtlas. Pretty much like an 11/10 song. Eventually, it gets to a point where it is way too fucking good. (At about 4:56) Yes, too fucking good, but I certainly can deal.





    7. In Rainbows by Radiohead


    Of course.





    6. Kala by M.I.A.


    She's really getting the best of both worlds, as Hannah Montana might say. Major respect from the indie community and Paper Planes now being raped pervasively on the radio. (Admittedly, one of the best tracks of 2007)

    Totally surpassed Arular, if you ask me. Kala opens incredibly with Bamboo Banga (likely my favourite from the album), Arulpragasam chants, "M.I.A. coming back with power (power!)" She certainly has.

    The only song, and I think many will agree, that doesn't do for me on this record is The Turn. Other than that, holy fuck.





    5. Night Falls Over Kortedala by Jens Lekman


    Jens, if I wasn't already married to someone else on this list... well, you can guess what I'd ask you.

    This record NEVER falls flat. Jens has done something truly special with this one. Plenty to go around here. Sound like it could have came out of several different decades... I can't even properly express my love for this.

    His lyrics, his voice, his everything... just wait for the imitators.





    4. Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective


    Where do I begin on this one? I suppose I could start from the beginning: Peacebone is a fucking party.

    A marvelous nine-song record where one of my favourite bands have now proven they can now produce meaningful lyrics.

    Fireworks is one of the greatest songs from this decade. Crier... just flawless.

    Avey Tare rules this album, singing most of the songs. However, Noah Lennox does grace the album wonderfully. Three Panda Bear-sung songs: the chaotic Chores, a pop gem, "experimental" #1, and Person Pitch-esque closer Derek.

    This album... this album...





    3. Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer? by of Montreal


    Kevin Barnes is pure sex.

    The album that raped my top tracks list and with good reason.

    Full-on opener Suffer for Fashion, to what may be the catchiest song of the year Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse, closely followed by PlayGronlandic Edit, the 12-minute masterful centrepiece The Past is a Grotesque Animal, to the underrated and undermentioned (possibly my favourite too) Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider, the sing-a-long PlayShe's a Rejector, and then the excellent closer We Were Born the Mutants Again With Leafling.

    Even the songs in between. This album is so fucking good. So fucking good.

    Endlessly listenable. The first weekend owning it, I probably listened to it 16 times.

    So fucking good.





    2. The Magic Position by Patrick Wolf


    Well, what did you expect? Most visit me here on last.fm to congratulate Patrick and my marriage.

    I would argue that this is the most cohesive album on the list. From the track order, to the transitions... it's perfectly executed. With its PlayOverture, an athem to himself that perfectly opens the album, we move into the title track. From there we have boarded a magical carousel of wonderment and musical bliss, then centre-piecing with darker moments, from PlayThe Bluebell to PlayAugustine. However, PlaySecret Garden then transitions into PlayGet Lost, a perfect indie pop song that rivals the title track.

    The album has two more songs: PlayEnchanted, an adorable 2-minute piano ballad, and PlayThe Stars. Then the album finishes with a PlayFinale.

    Fuck, this year was amazing.





    1. Person Pitch by Panda Bear


    Jesus fuck. It's number one for a reason. As much as I would have loved to give my husband the number one album spot for the third time, he will sit at #2 and marvel at the masterpiece that is Person Pitch.

    As uncomfortable as I may be doing this, Noah Lennox also boasts my #1 track of the year with PlayBro's: a GORGEOUS, stunning 12+ minute mind-blowing orgasm for the ears. However, the album includes six more that are just perfect. From the iconic opener PlayComfy in Nautica, that sets up for brilliance, to the closer PlayPonytail, a more subtle part of the album that allows us to reflect on how fucking amazing the album was.

    Although searching for delicious on this album is certainly not difficult at all, searching for flaws is down right impossible.
