With the bite and bounce of the Pixies and the urgency and zeal of early singles by Ash, Little Death's "Baby Can You Dig Your Man?" hits the speakers with forceful conviction. It's got everything a great indie rock song should have: a good sense of dynamics with guitar, bass, and drums precisely entering and exiting the mix, singy/shouty vocals, guitar riffs which pierce and punch at your ears, and...
Opening with the comparatively quiet "Cover Me (Slowly)," Deerhunter's Microcastle quickly evolves into something less abstract and inherently more familiar than the band's previous offerings. While 2007's breakthrough Cryptograms was applauded for its abrasive intangibles, Microcastle sounds harnes...
Orson Welles once remarked something to the effect of: he preferred long-take composition, as opposed to montage, in cinema because it was democratic, allowing viewers to decide what axis of action to watch on the screen. In the age of...
If I didn’t have my iPod, it’s quite possible that I just wouldn’t exercise at all. I’m not one of those people like D (cough - freaks) who enjoy getting all breathless and sore for the sake of being breathless and sore. I need motivation. I need distraction. I need music. At the moment, I am trying to compile the [...]
1.UnapologeticEthnoCentricSemiteBorn to the projects of NYC, education, hard work ethic, and the Jewish family tradition, have given me a world view to be a philanthropist, a Zionist, a neo con, and an angry 30 something. Angry at the liberal attitude to all things that make this country great and their twisted outlook on changing it. Winston Churchill said it best "If I am not Liberal by 20, I have...
Alternative nostalgia has become big business, and just as they were one of the bands that bridged the gap from the indie-rock ‘80s to the alternative ‘90s, the Pixies were on the cutting edge, reforming 11 years after they first broke up to undertake one of the highest-grossing tours of 2004–2005, and then promptly disbanding once more. Since then, My Bloody Valentine, which crafted the second most...
I always find it amusing that I gravitated to Throwing Muses in the early 90’s and never listened to the Pixies for another 10 years after discovering the Muses. Throwing Muses University (Amazon MP3) was a high point in the early 90’s indie-rock thing that was happening. Here’s Throwing Muses most known song “Bright Yellow Gun”. [...]
From redefining feedback and rock to championing next-generation technology and environmental change, Neil Young has been an indispensable component of pop culture over the last forty years. He turned 63 on Thursday. Listening Post would like to honor Earth's greatest...
If you can possibly imagine the Pixies plucked from the Boston club circuit circa 1987's Come on Pilgrim and dropped into a dilapidated shack in the Appalachians with only some banjos, fiddles, trombones, and makeshift percussion to make music with, then you have a pretty good idea of what to...
I've been sitting on Mother Mother for too long. Please accept my apologies. They got lost in the shuffle that is my life, although I've been playing this track on my radio show for months. So I haven't been completely hoarding the goods. "O My Heart," the album's title track, recalls the Pixies in a big way, especially the vocal play between Frank Black and Kim Deal. I don't make that comparison lightly....
She's simply murder on the guitar, using a hammer technique that recalls Van Halen as much as it does Marnie Stern. Her band The Happy Hollows excels in amped punk, rock and pop that channels the mischievous vibe of the...
On their latest album, O’Death does a commendable job of combining freak-folk with bluegrass and wrapping it all up in a punk attitude. Though the songs they write are consistently well composed and performed, enjoyment of the band will depend on whether or not you’re looking for a band capable of taking itself seriously – [...]
Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel's controversial Surrealist short Un Chien Andalou messed with humankind's head upon its release in 1928. In the late '80s, it took aim at the ears, after inspiring the Pixies' classic anthem "Debaser." That streak continued...
