Artist:VATitle:Edits, Re-Edits, Reworks!
Bob Seger, Mellencamp? No, not lols. Yeah, seems like 2010's got more uneven albums than usual, though many would make excellent EPs. (I was really hoping to P&J the Books, but six keepers out of 14 tracks? No way, gotta be at least 70% of the tracks,and really strong ones.) Disc 2 of Dirty Water is indeed worth checking xhuxk! The Can track doesn't get good til the end, but can see why he might have picked it, the Hamill track is the only dogshit on the whole thing (although the title track seems so-what now; guess the label wanted it?
But then he picks one by the Seeds I hadn't heard). Have you ever thought about separating your EOY list into a reissues/comps list and one of strictly new releases?Um.no. But you can if you want. Can't be that hard! Except I'm always confused about where to put the 'mixes,' almost all of which should count as reissues, probably. (The reason there's a bunch of reissues clumped starting at #11, btw, is because I wanted to put my 10 Pazz & Jop albums in the top ten, and Seger is the only 'reissue' I voted for.) (30 points, obv.)have you written about the T. Swift record anywhere?Sort of.
Did a Taylor/Ke$ha comparison essay at Rhapsody, plus a few sporadic comments at Singles Jukebox. (Also, a Taylor essay for Rhapsody the week before her album came out, except I hadn't heard the album yet.) None of them are great; all Googlable, probably. You didn't like the Stooges live track on Dirty Water!? Williamson and the Ashetons, a cyclone x peyote conga line.
Please listen again. I wasn't that disappointed by Hold Steady and Kid Rock, because I wasn't expecting that much, but they got their keepers. Hold Steady had some ridiculous duds like 'Rock Problems', but pull some good arrangements out of Finn's butt. Glad they're more about guitars than those leaky keys these days (and added a third guitarist for the tour). Finn's voice and familiar but still antsy surviving characters suggest a more raffish Prairie Home Companion, spinning by the all-night diner on black ice, real ready to cash in that stolen copper wire (hey, that's my town) Even some of the dumbest Rod Seger retreads on Kid Rock's album build some real momentum, and how often does that happen? So many artistes say it all in the first verse and moneyshot chorus.
Okay, I'll re-listen to the Stooges track. Maybe it's just not car music. (Only place I've listened to that CD, though my car's on a 100% Beefheart kick this week.)Anyway, since this thread is here, my top ten 2010 singles (could go a lot longer, but I'd miss too many things and get a headache):1. Coati Mundi – Bundas Bom (Rong)2. Intocable – Estamos En Algo (Sony Music Latin)3. Sweet Angel – A Girl Like Me (Ecko)4.
Sunny Sweeney – From a Table Away (Republic Nashville)5. Pastor Mbhobho – Ayobaness (Outhere)6. Far.East Movement feat. The Cataracs and Dev – Like A G6 (Cherry Tree/Interscope)7. Mallary Hope – Blossom In The Dust (MCA Nashville)8.
Cali Swag District – Teach Me How To Dougie (Capitol)9. Laura Bell Bundy – Giddy On Up (Mercury)10. Vybz Kartel ft. Popcaan and Gaza Slim – Clarks (Chrome). But to my ears nowhere near as musical about it (i.e., useful as backgroud drone while getting work done or reading) as the Neubauten. Still somehow charming, though.Anyway, an exchange from Rolling Hard Rock thread:Ha ha, speaking of unearthed tapes, just got a CD recorded 1978-1982 in the mail by Z'ev!
Pretty sure George knows who this guy is, from back in his noise days. Percussion typhoon,' not hard rock in any earthling sense, but as I recall he was doing the beating-on-pots-and-radiators thing before even Einsturzende Neubauten or Test Dept. Thought of it. I used to own an LP by him back in the early '80s; not sure I ever played it all the way through though. Guess I'll try to play this one; good luck.
'Technical info: Radical de-tuning of drums - LOW's producing HIGH's. Use of stainless steel, titanium, military aluminum - HI TEMP/PRESSURE in their production creating a multiplicity of complex signals not available in LO TEMP/PRESSURE metals.
Same holding true for plastics.' Scott, you definitely have to include this one in your Decibel noise column.― xhuxk, Saturday, November 13, 2010 5:22 PMi am! It's going in my next column.― scott seward, Saturday, November 13, 2010 5:31 PMI had his first LP. Him, Monte Cazazza and Factrix. They were the dudes.
Fun times alienating people in the grad school apartment.― Gorge, Saturday, November 13, 2010 11:57 PMI don't think Scott's column ever came out, though (unless I missed it again - didn't seem to be one in Decibel's year-end issue.). Oh, I probably won't. I was just wondering if it was something different from his usual. I've probably said it before but my favorite Z'ev/Stefan Weisser recordings were some conversation cut-ups (with added noise in some cases) but out on Subterranean Records but not reissued on CD as far as I know.If you haven't already heard them, I would recommend trying more of those Fania singe-artist compilations. If you like the sort of songs (all extremely well known, incidentally) collected on something like that Salsa Explosion compilation, I don't see why you wouldn't like a lot of those single-artist compilations (usually with 'A Man and His Music' or something similar as sub-title).
You might be right. But thing is, I don't have that high a tolerance for (or interest in) salsa. Just don't see myself spending much more time than I already do listening to the genre. And in cases like that, sometimes a various-artist sampler is plenty for me (unless it's somebody I really like a lot, like say Joe Cuba, or Eddie Palmieri.)And now I'm starting to think I overrated that Z'ev CD, even at #136!
Except really, pretty much all the art music (jazz, noise, electronic, goth drone, improv, whatever) albums on that list are judged by how often I pull them out to play in the background when I'm getting stuff done. Some I get more addicted to than others. But I don't tend to listen to them much closer than that, usually. (Though when I do, with the Neubauten last week for instance because I was writing a review, of course I often notice things that I didn't when I was just using them for Muzak.) Anyway, that's why they never really have a shot at my Top 10, probably.And I don't know whether I recommend that anybody buy any new albums. I'd be kind of a hypocrite if I did, seeing how I get pretty much all new stuff for free, and pretty much the only stuff I buy is $1 vinyl.
(Bought too much of that this year, but still.). I think we'll have the same #3! I placed Jamey higher, and I haven't heard Taylor yet. Other interesting items include the two Threadgills and the Jason Moran, which I've been digging, and the Cameo/Parkway reissues.
Haven't heard the ones you listed, but I recently got some others by the Dovells, Dee Dee Sharp, and John Zacherle, who was kind of a sicko. Good stuff!Also, I've got that Burning Spear double, but on Mango, not sure when it came out. Does the new one have extra stuff or something? The Mango's pretty bare-bones.Electric Six was solid as always. And my kid went through a six-week period of happily watching that Liliput/Kleenex DVD, so there's a recommendation for all you parents.
'I don't think Scott's column ever came out, though (unless I missed it again - didn't seem to be one in Decibel's year-end issue.)'i just wrote it! I missed a month because the poll issue is bigger and i got bumped. I think that might have happened last year? Or some other time. I'd be happy if i did that column every other month let alone every month. I appreciate the space.
It's a lot of fun.new split album on my fave label utech has one half of the lp devoted to new thing by z'ev and aaron turner from isis. I really like it. I wrote that up too, so i have double z'ev action this month.
See, that wouldn't have happened without the extra time. Phil - Pretty sure the Hip-O Burning Spear reissue is just-the-facts-no-pointless-rarity-filler as well, though to be honest I never even heard Marcus Garvey before this year, so I'm no expert on the issue. (Used to own Garvey's Ghost on vinyl - probably bought it based on Greil Marcus's Stranded appendix recommendation - but got rid of it a long time ago.)Those Dovells, Dee Dee Sharp, and Zacherlee collections sound like they'd be lots of fun! And yeah, I checked out some non-hit Zacherlee tracks while putting together a Halloween proto-shock-rock playlist for Rhapsody.
He was a trip. I should check out more.Agree about Electric Six's reliability, too. They've got to rank with the most consistent acts of the past decade, and music critics, as far as I can tell, have basically ignored them since their debut. Here's my Rhapsody review of their new one; if you click on the two previous albums on that page ( Kill and Flashy), I reviewed those, too.
Seems nobody else wants to!Finally, here's a list of also-rans/honorable mentions that didn't make my Top 150 (even though I'm sure at least a couple are probably better than that Z'ev CD. I didn't know about those allan sherman reissues, but i love that you rate my son, the folk singer well above the other two. That really was his masterpiece. 'the ballad of harry lewis,' 'my zelda' and 'shake hands with your uncle max,' among others, made it essential listening in the jewish home i grew up in.i might quibble with your rating the uneven my son, the celebrity over my son, the nut, which has 'you went the wrong way, old king louie' along with the hit, but it's a small quibble, and i note that the way you have 'em makes allan sherman a perfect candidate for thread. And, oh wait, i see you actually nominated him there. You've performed a useful service, zvookster (for me, if nobody else). My only quibble is that some of the comps besides the Matador and Dubstep ones ( Ayobaness, for instance) should probably count as 'new' music.
But hey, it's more than I could do. (For what it's worth, I count mixes and reissues among 'regular' albums now because that's what Pazz & Jop does. Back when there were different categories, I would've kept track of them separately through the year. But now they're all eligible together, so.)And factvchecking cuz, outside of 'Hello Muddah Hello Faddah!' And maybe 'Here's To The Crabgrass,' I don't really hear any songs on My Son The Nut that I'd rank with my favorites on My Son The Celebrity ('Al N' Yetta,' 'Get On The Garden Freeway,' 'Harvey And Sheila,' and especially the unbelievable 'When I Was A Lad,' which perfectly predicted Mad Men by four decades. Check the lyrics linked below if you don't believe me.) So yeah, near as I can tell, Sherman got worse with each album. Cauldron – Burning Fortune (Earache)2.

Bizarrely, Woods Of Ypres' single, 'I Was Buried In Mount Pleasant Cemetery', made my Pazz & Jop singles top 10. I apparently filed my ballot just a couple days before he died.could the 3rd edition of STH be in the works?Would totally do this, if somebody paid me - but not another lame 'updated version'; I want to do Son Of Stairway - 500 metal albums not previously included.
So if anybody knows anybody. Treponem Pal – Survival Sounds (Juste Une Trace)Used to love their Voivod-gone-insustrial vibe. Didn't know they were still around.12.
Angel Witch – As Above, So Below (Rise Above)28. Van Der Graaf Generator – A Grounding In Numbers (Esoteric ‘11)49. Saint Vitus – Lillie: F-65 (Season Of Mist)How do these compare to their classic material?96. Van Halen – A Different Kind Of Truth (Interscope)I am unsure whether this being on the list means it has merit or being so low on the list means it doesn't.:).
Ha, right Scott - Me being 'special in the head' is a nice diplomatic way to put it.Anyway. 2012 albums by Angel Witch and Saint Vitus come surprisingly close to living up to their past work, I'd say. Van Der Graaf come less close (no sax player anymore, for one thing - double-CD Present from 2005, when David Jackson was still with them, was probably better), but they were the more interesting band in the first place, which kind of evens things out. I actually think that Treponem Pal album is the best I've ever heard by them, even if (like Angel Witch, and Tygers Of Pan Tang for that matter) they have only one original member left. (And I had no idea they were still around, either). Van Halen's album is probably (give or take Diver Down at least) their most marginal ever with Roth singing on it. But it's still better than the ones he doesn't sing on, and some people like it a lot more than I do.I did vote in P&J, after agonizing over it.
(Was eventually convinced by a few people that the aggregate ballots are what matters these days, and it would've been depressing to be left out of that after 30 years. Plus it's not like the poll died when I got got fired, so why should I care so much about killing it off now?) Not sure if somedude and I will be the only Dev voters, but if the Voicers tabulate ballots correctly (which I'm not at all counting on) at least one or two 2011 votes for last year's (actually superior) import version ought to be carried over.Metz is as indie-rock as I got this year, I guess. Okay, found this on Ektro site:In the pantheon of obscure U.S.

Punk, Mission for Christ has remained an intriguing mystery. Aside from stray blogs hyping the group's infamously scarce 7-inch, 'Pennies from Hell,' plus a cursory reference in Steve Blush's book American Hardcore, precious few online or printed recollections of the band have surfaced. Until now, all anyone knew was that the shadowy participants hailed from Washington, DC, and that they were close associates of the city's most antagonistic musical export, the notorious No Trend.For summer 2012, Ektro Records is shedding some much-needed light on the subject. Commissioned by the label with curatorial assistance from yours truly, The Complete Sessions reprises MFC's nine-song 1983 demo cassette (which spawned the aforementioned single) and adds six previously unheard compositions dating from the following year. Extensive audio restoration vivifies the unruly material, while detailed liner notes place the names behind the noise in a helpful historical context.Centered around bassist John Gibson (aka JC Agnatha), MFC featured a rotating cast that was equally well-versed in full-throttle punk, go-go funk, and art-damaged junk.
Active when DC was too often portrayed as an urban wasteland split by racial and geographical divides, this loose-knit project flaunted an absurd, topical, and gleefully bizarre mesh of styles that recklessly disregarded subcultures, colors, and easy definitions. Its personnel casually bridged the disparate scenes that boiled over in their backyards, using dissonance, dub, and Dadaist nonsense to aesthetically fit in with the varied likes of Bad Brains, Scream, Void, 9353, Half Japanese, Outrage, the Psychotics, Trouble Funk, Rare Essence, and anonymous street-corner percussion ensembles.Alas, nobody could locate tapes of MFC’s final incarnation from 1985, after No Trend mastermind and guitarist Frank Price had come aboard. Still, we're damn lucky to have rescued the 15 fantastic tracks comprising this CD (produced by Government Issue's Tom Lyle), and we're eternally grateful to Gibson for being gracious enough to share them with us.Praise the lord, man; Christ is risen!
