That Good Show Buzz

There are a few noteworthy shows coming up soon:

Lazy Magnet is purportedly playing at All Day records tomorrow evening (Sunday, December 13th)...however, I now see that this has been removed from the Hot-Releases events page. However, the Lazy Magnet blog still says he's coming...if he makes it, it's worth checking out. You never know what to expect with this a*hole. Put your ears to the ground, do some sleuthing, and find out if this is happening...you'll thank yourself later.

Also, No Age and Rene Hell are coming to the Grey Eagle in Asheville on Saturday, January 22nd. I'm thinking about making the drive for this one. Rene Hell has been on my stereo quite a bit this year, so I'm stoked to have a chance to finally check him out live. Get in touch if you're interested in carpooling with me.

Also, it's almost time for year end lists to start rolling in. If you're so inclined, feel free to post your favorite releases of 2010.

Adios A*Holes!

Esplendor Geométrico - Moscú Está Helado

The latest All Day Record refuge at Berthall is a curated set of minimal 80s electro tracks from Veronica Vasicka and Peanut Butter Wolf. What don't they listen to at Stones Throw? My hazy impression is that this double disc set was some kind of debutant dance for the Minimal Wave record label (Discogs has it double indexed as STH2223 and MWC01), although it seems they've been releasing tracks since 2005. Maybe Stones Throw is lending some some distribution heft their way and making a renewed marketing push. Ethan says they'll be carrying more Minimal Wave stuff soon at All Day.

It's kind of like when Yuengling came to Orange County. Remember that? about 8 years ago?

Love this track from Esplendor Geométrico.

The brief bio for the band says they were from Madrid and had another band El Aviador Dro. This song is from 1980.

OK, one more, just cause last night's Secret Boyfriend set was one of the most dynamic things I've ever seen one person do. And this iPhone recording actually turned out kind of OK.

All Day Records is going to be the death of me. Having an awesome record store in your tiny town is not easy on the pocket book. Among the records from yesterday's take: new Hot Releases split EP from Horaflora and Secret Boyfriend. As I was listening to it, the neighborhood deers appeared to eat from our "wilderness area." Yes, our landlord actually called it that. Pick it up from your local record store today! And go get more new Hot Releases at the show tonight!

Gringa Peligrosa

void, darkness;
black finger dust, fire dung must have wings
psalms trail to temporal hiss
my ocean is broken ratherish
forgive the morning paperbarking
axes of aurora left blinking words
over wet wood blocks
soaking full in electricity
fields are somehow dreamed time
holy churches are positive shadows
ioun's social gunk named slophaus
ten fevers, iron cross, made to smolder
jin ye in boise, cubist rose
néant {raising undeliverables}
intro: this drowning man
submerged with a firefly on his forehead
water moon wraparound
thus a null duo
no perfect logos
or woozy sex lines
only obsidian bells

Zero Cliff

There are ideas made of clay, and there are ideas sculpted for the ages out of gold or out of our precious glass. And to determine what material an idea is made of, all you have to do is let a drop of powerful acid fall on it. Even the ancients knew one such acid: reductio ad finem. That's what they seem to have called it. But they were afraid of this poison. They preferred to see at least some kind of heaven--however clay, however toylike--to this blue nothing. But we are grown-ups, thanks be to the Benefactor, and don't need toys...that explains the way things are divided up: To the ton go the rights, to the gram the duties. And the natural path from nullity to greatness is this: Forget that you're a gram and feel yourself a millionth part of a ton.
