Green Chili...

things seem to be spreading about in the schuyler camp. i'm enjoying the sudden change in attitude and lifestyle. i feel as if the next step is upon me finally and i can move on from this basement of shame and depression. ugh, just thinking about my past makes me sick to my stomach, but amazingly, i can now look upon it with an academic sort of mind frame. a history lesson in what not to do i suppose. and gratefully i now have somebody close that can make the days better and turn my mind away from such awful feelings and thoughts. (big shout out to miss kristy!!!)

she caught me at a vulnerable moment...


ok ok, enough with that cheese. i want to go to norman and buy some lp's for my new vinyl collection that i'm wanting to start, so let's get this music thing over with. in recent email correspondence, i've been given the chance to review a new artist and their debut album, so let's get going with the duo known as, Night Surgeon.



from the press release sent with the cd i got in the mail, it says that these guys hail from portland, oregon and i'm thinking, started around 2000 something. eh, sorry for not knowing the exact date of inception, but these cats are a little hard to find. of course don't let that keep you from checking them out!!! their music is pleasantly surprising. now, based off what the press release has quoted, these guys have been compared to artists like, Depeche Mode. Cut Copy and Placebo. i can get behind those and agree. lead singer patrick replogle does have a similar vocal style that can remind one of brian molko, but i don't want to stop just there. often when listening to music, i end up thinking of many artists all at once. i like to try and pinpoint where certain musicians sit in between those who have already established themselves. to go a bit further, i'd say i was reminded of roland gift from Fine Young Cannibals. yes, that band FYC. no seriously, his vocal style reminded me of roland and i find that an awesome link. replogle does the glitchy music justice, while not relying to heavily on studio distortion for his vocals which often can hamper down the tunes. i want to see this performed live now!!!

oh, and let's not forget john boyd who supplies the live drums and piano. combined with patrick's live guitars and synths, the duo creates a miss mash of this past decade's better moments. there's traces of techno/dance as well as new wave synths and chiptune/mega man blasting through robot bag guys type of jams. saying these guys are just like similar indie pop acts Passion Pit and Owl City, would be a slap in the face i'd say. (no, i didn't compare them to those two. i read that somewhere...) night surgeon is their own unique sound and style and by golly, it freekin' works!!!

while jammin' through their entire debut album, Day for Night, i was taken aback by the crisp, yet clean production. this comes courtesy of studio wiz, gabriel espinosa, who has worked with artists such as Blondie and Fischerspooner. the music follows simple, yet dynamic patterns that rush the listener along as if they were riding tidal waves. the atmosphere is calming, but with just the right amount of rushing and free falling that it can get you caught up in the moment. if i had to make any complaints, i'd say it comes from the repetitiveness of a few songs. they do seem to follow the same sort of rhythm and style, but this isn't a major, nor a terrible issue because thankfully we have the slower tracks, which in my opinion, are the albums best kept secrets. track three, "roman error" and track six "better to be young" are my faves. this is where the fyc comparisons took root. also, if you've ever jammed Yeasayer's latest effort, Odd Blood, you will find solace here if that hasn't happened yet.

overall, i'd say this debut warrants a strong listen and if i had to rank it, i'd give it an 8/10. do pay attention because this is something refreshing and hopefully useful when it comes to making a choice between good music and bad music. night surgeon = good!!! owl city = baaaaadddddd... oh, and i also want to give a big shout out to patrick for sending me an advanced copy of the album and for getting me in on the know. please visit their myspace to jam the tunes and grab this album when it drops on february 15, 2011.

Hit the nail on the head...

*this post was written yesterday, but not published till today since the computer at my house is sick with viruses...*

i’m enjoying the sudden coldness that’s sweeping across oklahoma. the chilly air feels nice against my lungs and through my nose. sleeping in a cold bed, only to become warm by your own body heat is one of my favorite things. if i had to choose a permanent weather, i’d choose this kind. i say this mostly because i love wearing long sleeve shirts and sweaters. also, my jackets look friggin’ awesome yo!!!

well, i guess the tone for this post is different than the last one as you may have noticed. if not, they you don’t pay enough attention!!! anyway, i’d like to share a bit of my past with you. there was this one time when i almost died. i must have been about eleven or twelve when it happened. i was living in these crummy apartments with my dad back then, and for fun, i’d rollerblade all over the place. (i was a big Mighty Ducks fan…) well, on this particular day i was getting close to the edge of the parking lot, which ended near this sort of half pipe ditch. on the other side was a local middleclass suburban neighborhood, closed in by an old wooden fence. i wanted to skate the ditch walls, so i attempted by stepping in. instantly my feet rolled out from under me and i fell flat on my face. my large head (without a helmet…) slammed onto a wooden board that fell from the fence. it all hurt and sucked badly, but what caught my attention was the large nail sticking out from the board. my head was nearly half a foot away from landing on it.

i wasn’t one for thinking of death a lot back then, but this matter changed my life. i took close notice and my thoughts began to sketch out different situations on which i could die. i must have sat there for over 30 minutes, just staring at the board and then around the location. everything in my life at that moment seemed pointless. i lost what was left of my carefree innocence, and from then on i subject everything to my own personal motion. and what that means is, nothing can be simple anymore. it has become complicated and i make it that way. there is now a creeping feeling of something bad happening. i’ve had this issue ever since…

it’s weird though. i’ve been in cars wrecks and tornados, but this one little incident set the course for the things to come. ugh, maybe i’m just exaggerating, or better yet, writing this for attention and i just don’t know it, but regardless, it feels good to mention this little tid bit of my life. maybe its all for future reference when aliens take over and they need to know some of our human history. yeah!!! they’ll read my blog and discover a human who has some serious issues and who also really REALLY likes music. maybe then they will appreciate the Deftones, Joy Division, American Football, My Bloody Valentine and Nick Drake as much as me…

gliding through the archives of music out there, occasionally i’ll stumble upon something new that instantly makes me love it. new music is often harder for me to like than the old, so this was an exception that took strong presence over the past few months. this new music i speak of goes by the name, Teengirl Fantasy.

this is an electronic duo that consists of dudes named, nick weiss and logan takahashi. they currently go to college in ohio, but have taken time off to tour and make their music. they have blown up over the past year in blogs and independent music sites like pitchfork and stereogum. what they make is nothing new for the electronic genre, but it sure is a breath of fresh air. the duo mix and sample old school soul with trance like flourishes. it all meshes together quite nicely and makes for interesting and relaxing moments. they recently released their debut album, 7AM and it has made me a huge fan. songs like, “cheater’s” “four to floor” and “vibes” showcase young talent that is almost ready to take over. it’s a good example of the so called, “laptop” music that seems real easy to make nowadays. if you like such artists as, Gold Panda, James Blake, Matthew Dear, Toro Y Moi and old school electronica nobles, The Chemical Brothers, Orbital, The Future Sound of London and The Crystal Method, then you will be at home here with teengirl fantasy.

so, now that you know it, why don't you try it??? right here you will find some of their self released demos and then their debut full length, 7AM. dig it...

oh boy...

Columbus Is Dead...

i'm off work today, but for the wrong reasons. today is columbus day, and according to non-native americans', it's some sort of celebration of which many people get the day off. straight up, there is nothing worth celebrating on this day. columbus represents the beginning of the end for many MANY native americans. he was just the start of the long winded colonization of america and the raping of it's people. as a native american, i find myself never liking this holiday or history. i try to not live in the far far past when it comes to native american struggle because it's too hard to comprehend. oh, and how could columbus "discover" america if there were already people living on it??? anyway, i'm off and i'm thinking a bit deeper right now while typing this. i could write down a lot more things to spew about, but there really is no point. today is just another reason why the world is becoming such a terrible place. the ever present struggle to live each day surrounded by "zombies" and "politicians" is taking it's toll and eventually, we will all be eaten up by our own undoing. still, us native americans are here and we live each day remembering our loved ones and striving to stay alive in an unjust world ready to self implode...

my gosh, i need to chillax for a bit...

...

okay, so in order to get my mind off a few things, i'm going to write about music like i always do. this time were going electronic with an artist named, Flying Lotus.



flying lotus, also known as "flylo", or real name, "stevan ellison", is a young multi talented electronic producer from winnetka, california. he has been performing his own style of music since 2000 and has built a strong fan base and garnered rave reviews for his releases. he is currently on the warp records label which is the home to other notable electronic acts like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher. flylo is also a relative of John Coltrane and Alice Coltrane and cousin to Ravi Coltrane.

his music incorporates the family jazz styles as well as hip-hop beats and glitch music. flylo is often compared to producer, J Dilla, who's instrumental hip-hop beats were ahead of the game way back when. oh, and flylo has also been showcased on adultswim and is often used in their bumper music, though often uncredited.



for the music today i'm kind of going all over the place here with his releases, skipping out on a few ep's and singles, but mostly sticking with the overall available tunes. first two things to check out are his early beat compilations titled, July Heat and Raw Cartoons. after that we reach his debut album, 1983. this is then immediately followed by the totally awesome ep called, Reset. after that we have the Los Angeles album and then the amazing, Cosmogramma album. check out the song, "...and the world laughs with you" which features Thom Yorke of Radiohead fame on vocals. and lastly we have his latest ep called, Pattern + Grid World. search these and get to clubbin' or something. dig it...

columbus day my ass...

Scott pilgrim vs. the weekend box office...

yep yep yep, it seems that special weekend i've been waiting for is almost here!!! tomorrow is the opening of the Scott Pilgrim movie!!! yay, everyone else isn't excited except me!!! actually, i think there might be a few people who are stoked on it since i'm going with a group to see it, but eh, who knows huh??? anyway, it's flippin' awesome and i can't wait any longer!!! i just hope i'm not disappointed and left with a sore tailbone...

oh, and speaking of all things scott pilgrim, i happened to download the video game tuesday night and let me tell ya, it's great!!! if you have ever played the classic beat em' up, River City Ransom, then you will be in for a special treat. it's the spiritual successor and takes most of it's cues from that old-school game and mashes it with today's crappy pop culture. it actually WORKS!!! go get it without hesitation because it's simply fun and challenging.

oh, and for today's music we have the band that composed the soundtrack to said game. these guys are getting huge in the indie/electronic scene with their unique brand of music. they are known as, and i'm totally serious, Anamanaguchi.



i thank a random person on the orgsummit for posting these guys in the music thread. they are a BEAST of a band, or in this special case, a chiptune band. yes, there is now a genre called "chiptune", which is totally jawsomely awesome because if you love notoriously catchy 8-bit music from the years gone by, then this is the thing for you. case in point, just about every Mega Man theme since his first adventure. (don't you remember how simply wonderful Dr. Willy's first level was in mega man 2???) yeahhhhhhhh, this is what many will call nerd stuff, but those folks can stuff a used copy of the nintendo version of Back To the Future up their butts.

so, anamanaguchi started back in 2004 and hail from new york city. according to their bio, they are a chiptune punk band that "makes loud, fast music with a hacked nes from 1985." i believe it because if you have heard their stuff, you will instantly be taken back through the nostalgia wormhole. putting aside the memories, these guys actually make complex music with crazy shifting arrangements and abrupt timing. it's almost exhausting and by the time your ready to give up, the song is over. take this with a grain of whatever and see if you can't hop on some heads and charge up your mega busters!!!

oh, and for the music we have a few things here. we first start with their debut ep titled, Power Supply, then follow that with the lp, Dawn Metropolis. after this we have two of their newest singles with one being called, "airbrushed" and the other, "my skateboard with go on." these last two tracks are free downloads from their website, so go get them without the guilt!!! oh, and for those who are now drawn to this epic discovery of musical wonder, go to the chiptune mecca http://www.8bitpeoples.com and see if there is anything you dig...

i'd date ramona flowers...

Breathe with me...

today was tough at work. not that my job is really difficult, but instead it's my own personal self that was causing the damage. i'm really disappointed for reasons i'll leave off of here. hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. i don't want to screw up something that's good, including my personal and professional life...

i want to let out some steam, so here's some dangerous electronica from The Prodigy.



the prodigy is an electronic/breakbeat group that started in 1990 and continue to be a large presence in the dance world today. they hail from braintree, essex and are known for their intense live shows and memorable songs. their style of techno dabbles in many sub-genre's of electronica and it's hard to pin point an exact definition of their tastes. this is some serious 90's nostalgia right here, but gosh, it's still amazing to hear. the music of the prodigy can be heard almost anywhere. it's become the sort of "go to" for moments of excitement and sometimes brutality. (Blade movies, Matrix movies, sports movies...) despite that, the music can stand alone as some of the best to come out of the 90's rave culture and i'm all glad for it.

today i'm posting their most well known album called, The Fat of the Land. this was EPIC when it first dropped back in 1997. hit songs like, "firestarter" "breathe" "smack my bitch up" "mindfields" and "serial thrilla" have stood the test of yadda yadda yadda and continue to be set list mega hits when played live. the controversial music video for "smack my bitch up" is in my top ten favorite music videos of all time and is down below in all its uncut glory. it's just gnarly, brutal and unique which is something music video's need to do more often. so capping off this downer of a day, you have the opportunity to jam an almost perfect album and one of my favorites from the 90's. dig it once more...

like whoa...

The backs of the bruised...

time is passing by and i need to grab more of it. i still need a job... if only this blogging thing was a job. well, if this blogging thing was a job i probably wouldn't like it anymore. i guess that's what a lot of artists have to deal with when creating. "when did this become a job???" yeah, the rock and or roll lifestyle has it's perks, but also it's slumps...

getting into overdrive for the melting summer months here in oklahoma, i'm always ready to rock out if need be. this next artist is one of the greats of the 90's and i'm lucky to have gotten the chance to see them live. here is Nine Inch Nails.



nine inch nails is the project of master mind trent reznor. it's a good mix of industrial music and post-punk ala, Joy Division and Bauhaus. the band started in 1988 and rose to fame during the 90's and then to even more fame in the 2000's. drugs and depression were often the source material for the songs trent created, but that became a thing of the past once the guy sobered up and started getting more focused. as of right now, nine inch nails is on permanent hiatus while trent and his wife work on their new project called, How to Destroy Angels, which actually sounds a lot like nine inch nails...



the video for the song "closer" happens to be one of my most favorite video's of all time. this goes back to the days of music videos on MxTxVx and the creative talent behind them. but oh well, things change and blah blah blah. anyway, here's the music!!! i think i got pretty much the bands entire discography (or halos) minus some singles and such. starting off in first place is the amazing debut album, Pretty Hate Machine. this album launched the band into the faces of the mainstream and got people addicted to their industrial metal. the band went on the first ever lollapalooza and blew away the crowds who weren't ready for this type of music yet. good times were had. we follow that with the two ep's titled, Broken and Fixed. next we have my personal favorite NIN album, and that is The Downward Spiral. (fact: the album was recorded in the mansion of actress sharon tate who was brutally murdered by the manson family in the 60's...) after that we have the remix album, Further Down the Spiral, followed by the double album, The Fragile. another remix album called, Things Falling Apart would be released and then the live album, And All That Could Have Been. time would pass until trent gave us some new tunes which would become the stellar comeback album, With Teeth. this is the highest point nine inch nails would get and the material released after this showcases that. following with teeth is the equally amazing album, Year Zero followed by it's remix album, Year Zero Remixed and then the experimental ambient four disc set, Ghosts I-IV. and then in last place is the album titled, The Slip. nine inch nails would do one last tour called, the "Wave Goodbye" tour and that was it. so here you go with some awesome tunes to get you thinking and possibly sleeping. or maybe not...

Dance Off...

WOW!!! the weekend flew by so fast i'm still trying to catch up!!! red earth finally happened and it was great. i got to bust my out my fancy dance regalia for the second time, but in reality it felt like the first because so many more people got to see it. the compliments were very nice and i think it stood out well enough for my standards. (i really wanted those sequins to shine!!!) goofy thing is we forgot to bring the camera for all three nights. the photo below is the only proof of me being there. it's got that elusive bigfoot quality to it...

too tall...


next weekend is another good powwow, so it's dance time from here on out!!! oh, and in other news, the international trailer for the Scott Pilgrim movie is out now!!!



i have a falls creek meeting in a little bit, so i gotta cut straight to the music now. all the way from england is our next group called, Opus III.



opus III was a techno/house group composed of lead singer kirsty hawksaw and producers/musicians kevin dobbs, ian munro and nigel walton. they had success on the uk and us singles charts during the 90's and released two albums before splitting up. kirsty is still involved with the music scene today, having worked with artists like Delirium, Silent Poets and DJ Tiësto.

today i'm posting their debut album, Mind Fruit. this is an album with a solid mix of house/ambient/trance/and brief bits of drum n' bass. they even manage to do a King Crimson cover!!! try it out and float along with the ambiance...

keep on dancin'...

Spiders are playing at my house...

i hate spiders. i am reminded of this after just having a text conversation with a friend of mine. seriously, i hate spiders. i sometimes hyperventilate when close to them, or being surprised by their sudden movements and hiding spots. i don't know why, but my fear, or better yet, arachnophobia, goes to the start of my life possibly. i don't remember a time when i wasn't scared of them. i've even had terrible terrible dreams of them crawling all over me in my sleep. (one time they even laid eggs in my stomach, then hatched and busted out of my empty cavity...) oh, and yes, i have been bitten by a spider before. it actually happened in my bed one late night while i was crashed out. i felt it sink it's fangs into my back and i immediately snatched for it and squished it in my hand. luckily i didn't get sick from it and it left no sores on me. the same can't be said for my little brother though. the poor kid was ate up recently by spiders and now has a few scares to prove it. despite that, he's suffered through it and is more tougher about them than i am!!! i need to buy him a blizzard for that...

it's monday and this day mostly sucks for everyone, so i want to get you all up and dancing. let's listen to LCD Soundsystem.



lcd soundsystem is the musical project of producer james murphy, who is from new york city. it's all out disco/funk/nu-wave/post-punk/rock/dance music that's so catchy and awesome you can't help but fall in love with it immediately!!! so, the music of lcd soundsystem started in 2002 and quickly gained a following all over new york city. (the hipsters loved it...) singles such as, "losing my edge" "give it up" and "daft punk is playing at my house" garnered james murhpy and his rag tag crew of live performers a bunch of press and notoriety across the globe.

Daft Punk Is Playing In My House en Yahoo! Video

over the years, lcd soundsystem has been one of the "go to" bands for danceable indie pop music. the group has played at just about every major music festival around the world, including Coachella 2007 which was the first, and so far, only time i've seen them. what i remember is how awesome they sound live and what a great front man james was. he lead the crowd into some extreme dance frenzies that left everyone exhausted, but very happy in the end. i want to see lcd soundsystem at least one more time...

so, with that here's the music. we first start with the wonderful self titled debut that contains over two albums worth of music. it also includes those fantastic first singles james put out before the album. in second is my personal favorite, Sound of Silver. this album contains the wonderful song, "all my friends" which, i think, is one of the best songs to come out in the past ten years or so. and in last place is the latest album, This is Happening. i actually haven't listened to this one yet, but the reviews from all over are praising it very highly. it's also been declared that this might be the final lcd soundsystem album. let's see how that goes...

where are your friends tonight...

Scott Pilgrim Vs. Oklahoma...

yeah, i didn't got to Municipal Waste last night, but that's okay. instead, i dove into a new comic books series for myself called, Scott Pilgrim. this six volume graphic novel series is made by artist, bryan lee o'malley who is from canada. now, i know i'm just getting my feet wet and considered a noob with this series since i just saw the trailer for the live action movie, but oh man!!! this series is just what i've been looking for!!! it contains all the aspects that i remember from the age of 23 (literally!!!) and somehow, i connect with it better than most recent findings.



oh, and about that movie. it's coming out on august 13th, and it stars micheal cera and elizabeth winstead who looks really awesome in pink hair. i don't know, but for some reason this silly series and movie has got my attention BIG TIME. the movie is also directed by edgar wright who has made a few little things like, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and one of my favorite television shows of all time, Spaced. yeah, so you know this is in the right hands. judging by the trailer, it looks freakishly crazy, but with a sense of heart and drama that is right up there with other goofy things like, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Dragon Ball Z. it's a weird mix of a little bit of everything, but i like those mash ups sometimes. just watch the trailer below to see for yourself!!!



for some other stuff i guess i'll mention some music right quick. you know how i like the 90's so much right??? well here's something to rock your socks off!!! i think you all will recognize this group because they were EVERYWHERE during their moment of shining. yep yep yep, here are the Sneaker Pimps.



i am not ashamed at all for liking these guys (and girl!!!). this trio made some really amazing trip-hop tunes on their stylistic debut album, Becoming X. the story of sneaker pimps goes like this: they form in 1994 in hartlepool, united kingdom with founding members, chris corner and liam howe who recruited singer kelli dayton to finish the group. shortly after this they begin creating music which eventually leads to the their debut album. the album became a huge hit with singles like, "spin spin sugar", "tesko suicide" and of course, "six underground" getting regular airplay around the globe. then after all was settling down the began making demo's for the followup album, but with corner doing more lead vocals. right here is when the band made a HUGE mistake. they asked kelli dayton to leave the group, citing their fear of being lumped with the then fad of trip-hop. (trip-hop, to me, was never a fad because the music is very powerful and has stood the test of time. yes, it's a total 90's thing, but those artists who made the music are still around and very much respected.) oh, and the group broke up in 2003...



the debate as to whether or not the decision to oust kelli dayton will forever be talked about, but for now we have the music as a reminder of a time when things were simple, yet full of wonder. (for us 90's people...) whenever i hear this groups music, i can't help but remember my time during the 90's and all the things i was up to. i also remember the movie, Can't Hardly Wait, and the scene where they play the sneaker pimps and jennifer love hewitt walks in all slow like. (i had a huge crush on her back then...)

so here is the music, or album. yeah, just the one album i've already mentioned will be on here today. nothing against their other works, but i simply do not like them. this is a legit album of catchy and sexy songs. you will instantly fall in love with the stuff on here. opener "low place like home" will get your tongue wet and keep you wanting more and more. try it out and see if you can enjoy a little bit of nostalgia!!! dig it...

take me down...

My F*cking Sound...

well, what a saturday i had. it was very good. things got done at the falls creek meeting and i got to see Iron Man 2, which was awesome as well. i even ate some good mexican food for lunch, so yeah, i had a great day!!! i cherish these simple, yet profound moments of being alive and having things go smoothly. and yes, i cherish the hard times too because they help me to grow and mature in some ways...

let's get a but spastic with some crazy tunes by Squarepusher.



i love drum n' bass music. it's not for most people, but for me it's sometimes heaven and sometimes stimulant. you can't really do much to this type of electronic music, but there are those occasional moments, when it all comes together, and you do feel something, and then you begin to move and groove, and then you eventually fall down in exhaustion only to gradually rise back up and explode with pure eargasmic (or orgasmic) delight, then succumb to the usual tired mood, and then, finally, hopefully, gradually, fall into an epic euphoric trance and melt into your place of comfort.

squarepusher, also known as Tom Jenkinson, Chaos A.D. and The Duke of Harringay, hails from chelmsford, essex, england and plays electronic music that is very experimental and not only delves into the areas of drum n' bass, but also in techno/ambient/acid/house/jungle/funk/ and even jazz. there is a lot going on here, which is usually to be expected with this type of music. it touches in all areas and can leave you tired, but don't let that stop you.



okay, so with this post i'm hoping to try my best and get all the full lengths (minus the ton's of ep's except one) by squarepusher on here. let's see if i can make it work. right, so album number one is the debut titled, Feed Me Weird Things. this is a great place to start with. next we have the album, Hard Normal Daddy. following that is the fantastic ep called, Big Loada. this contains the above song, "come on my selector". that music video was directed by chris cunningham whom you all should check out. after that we have the album, Buzz Caner, which was released under his Chaos A.D. pseudonym and then, finally, we come to the album, Music is Rotted One Note. this is one of my favorites because it's so different from what he's done up to this point. it's his usual music, but all done with live instrumentation in the studio. it's a great change from the break-neck pace he's set up. moving along we have the two albums, Budhakan Mindphone and Selection Sixteen. this all leads up to my personal favorite album which is called, Go Plastic. this album is just great and contains my favorite songs from the guy. watch the video below for some live selections from that album. the next two records are, Do You Know Squarepusher and my other favorite, Ultravisitor. this later album showcases some neat live drumming and tom's ability to improvise on the spot. two more albums follow called, Hello Everything and Just A Souvenir respectfully. aaaaaannnnnndddd finally we come to the last and latest album from tom which is simply called, Solo Electric Bass 1. it's a live recording from 2007 that has tom performing with only a bass guitar and an amp. it was limited to only 850 copies worldwide. okay, so first off i want to apologize for all the sporadic places to find these tunes. it was really hard to get them all for you, and second, don't be scared to try some electronic music. you might find something here that tickles your fancy. enjoy!!!
