Shaking Hell
Just like you can freeze in hell & you can burn in hell, the Sonic Youth song Shaking Hell has a magnificent combination of warm and cool sounds, after the ride down the slide to the underworld at which point you find something you didn't expect, but isn't hard to imagine.
The tension builds up in the beginning. You're waiting, waiting. Then you reach the bottom, everything slows. This isnt' what you expected. The pace is robotic, not the wild action you've always been fearful of. In fact this is almost comfortable. Just get in uniform & you'll fit in just fine.
You turn around to get a look at what the rest of eternity holds for you. Can't you imagine it? This is a very visual song. Almost scarier than being alone in an unknown darkness.
As someone who has many credentials I declare this song to be the most accurate depiction of the uncomfortable, nostalgic fear.

The Anticipation Proclamation
November 27, 2008
Wonder Wheel 17: Hello Picture! will be the first piece of 21st Century Music. The composition will properly herald the second millennia of the Common Era and verify the Future World envisioned by the speculators from the 1920's, 1950's through 1970's.
Future Music is the result of imagination and the anticipated creation within composed works. Highlighted points of musical perpetuation include the atonal development of Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951), the compiled sounds of "Poéme Électronique" by Edgard Varèse (1883-1965), the Sonic Signatures and Electronic Pop productions of Joe Meek (1929-1967), and the variation of tape and melody on "Discreet Music" by Brian Eno (1948-Present).
Utilizing Pop Music constructs (i.e. Western Scales, Verse/Chorus Structure, Conventional Rhythm, etc.), variations on melody, isolation and repetition of structure, false tempo, and folk-historical rhetoric provide the grounds to establish the Future Music of the 21st Century.
To combine the Future World with the Future Music, the tools and machines used in the documenting process acknowledge both worlds of digital and analog technology.
1. Recorded onto tape machines of the 1980's and 1990's
2. Performing with a digital interface of analog equipment
3. Manipulated by tape speed and/or pitch of plug-in
4. Transferred to computers of the mid 2000's
These primary directives are used to establish unique Sonic Signatures and conclude the composition.
All previous creations from the years of 2000-2007 have reflected the world of the 20th Century, relying on previous conventions and thematic influence to create music of, and not for, the new millennium. Until now, there has been no perpetuation to embrace 21st Century Music, yet the metropolises of the United States are very aware of the Future World aboard television billboards in public spaces, touch screen computer interfaces, and personalized global positioning systems. These details, current fashions, and consumption of media and technology outline present living in the Future World.
Welcome to the 21st Century, a period that acknowledges the many advances in technology and shifts in past societies. We are not to concern ourselves primarily with the theories and philosophies of the past; moreover we acknowledge and emphasize their truths to build upon the fundamental institutions, to provoke a new Future World.

TWMWK: Psychopast
New Music Video from TWMWK
apologies for the quality... but you know google video...
full quality version available in the future when the internet if much faster?
or in out forthcoming video box set? available in the future?
The When McGruff was King's Psychopast is a 31-minute music video for the song of the same name released on September 1, 2008 and directed by David McDevitt who also co-wrote the screenplay. The mini-film music video was broadcast on the internet four weeks before October. It was the most expensive video of its kind, costing many US dollars, and the Guinness World Records in 2008 may list it as the "most successful TWMWK video", selling several units.
"Psychopast" was less a conventional video and more a full-fledged short subject or mini-film; a psychological film featuring cut scenes of natural waters & thoughts as well as a performance by TWMWK. The music was re-edited to match the video, with the verses being sung followed by the rest, then the main sequence (filmed in Goodbye Blue Monday, Brooklyn, NYC) to an instrumental, and finally the memorable finish: video feedback with minimal guitar overdubs. During the video, TWMWK member David McDevitt experiences many thoughts and emotions from the confines of the audience as do the rest of the band playing from the confines of the small stage (although makeup artist Sarah Grass referred to it as a "dog monster" in the "Making of Psychopast" documentary; as yet unreleased); familiar territory for McDevitt, who had directed American Idol Re-Edit in Brooklyn two years earlier. Co-starring with McDevitt was former SVA student Stephen Pfund, part-time solo-ist Stefan Walz & carpenter Kris Giordano. The video was choreographed by Elbis Rever (who had worked with the group on his prior hits), with significant contributions by McDevitt. The video also contains incidental music by a film music composer working in the world of television, who had previously also worked with McDevitt on American Idol Re-Edit. The video (like the song) contains performances influenced by the sounds of horror. Stephen Pfund assisted in prosthetics and makeup, although they went unused in the final production.

Music is Magic!
Nothin can compare!
Everybody starts to rock
When music's in the air!
Music is Magic!
Music makes you whole
(Music is Magic!)
It warps itself around you,
Filling up your soul!
Music is Magic!
Cuts through silence like a knife
Wondrous and mystical
(Music is Magic)
Somethin' of a miracle
(Sweet, sweet Magic)
Music is the sweet,
sweet sound of love
Nothin can compare!

man & robot
me: this show soundcheck on NPR is alwasy so awful
2:22 PM but i listen to it to feel superior about my sophistication & open-mindednesss
like it woudlnt' even occur to me that it was strange that bandswouldnt' be using a bass
2:23 PM becasue a band makes music with people, i don't think of htise standards that have to be met
to define a band
sometiems i have to turn it off
the host is also a fool, but hes super nice, too nice. and it sickens me
Stefan: do u hav it on radio
or thru interent?
2:24 PM me: i have it on the radio, but you can listen to it on WNYC website. but the bass discusion is over
some woman singer is coming on next
to talk and play
she doens't sound interesting,b ut i'll prob still listen
unless its unbearable
2:25 PM Stefan: yeh
no im gonna continue with my wacky itunes on
2:27 PM PRIVATE
me: OM
OMG
this guy is calling in saying that the only reason that white stripes don't use bass
2:31 PM is a marketing thing
(he's a bass player of course)
Stefan: u see what this whole controversy is causing
me: why would peopel thing you need this specific combo of instruments!
its fucking music
2:32 PM people act like it was set in stone, like it was handed down in the 10 commandmants
2:33 PM a guy jus tcalled in
2:34 PM he plays in a band that is all electronic, except they use live horns.
that sounds interesting
and then the guy who's in teh studio says, its not doubt that electronic is starting to emerge into the world of rockmusic.
EMERGE?!!!
STARTING?!!
is he living in another dimention?
2:35 PM its been going around for 30 years
adn not just underground
i mean sure
outright using a computer is somewhat new
2:36 PM but its certainly not revolutionary right now
2:37 PM even that they keep saying "rock music"
2:38 PM i dnt' even know what that means anymore
rock music is modern
even post modern
we live post contemporary
sure, bands still play rock music
but they might as well be playing characters in the rennasaince fair
or doing be metallica rolling stones cover band
2:40 PM this is the difference between musicians and artist
musicians are like construction workers
2:42 PM Stefan: yeah
i agree
emerge haha
