16.2004 PLEASE CHANGE YOUR BOOKMARKS AND LINKS! WWW.

FLUXBLOG.ORG We're On A Mission To Rock And Roll Justus Boyz Uh-Oh - In a lot of ways, all the context you really need for this song is supplied by the cover of the Justus Boyz album. This is camp, but it's very earnest camp.

This is synthpop so light and fey that it makes Erasure seem like a bunch of street thugs. This may end up being your guilty pleasure, but I am unashamed., and neither are the Justus Boyz.

It takes some real courage and conviction to make music like this when virtually everyone is conditioned to think of this kind of pop as being painfully uncool, and your target demo doesn't even know who you are because you don't have Girls Aloud or Justin Timberlake's promotional budget. ( Click here to buy it from Amazon.) X-Wife Rockin' Rio - After months of waiting, X-Wife is finally making its live American debut in NYC this weekend, playing shows at Rothko on Friday and Sin-E on Sunday.

It should be very interesting to see how they pull off their live show, given that they get a pretty huge playing-to-the-cheap-seats sound on record without the benefit of a live drummer. Feeding The Machine is easily one of the best, most slept-on rock records of the year, and hopefully these NYC shows will attract enough attention to at least get a domestic release for the album. ( Click here to buy it from the official X-Wife site.

) - Matthew Perpetua, 11/16/2004 11.15.2004 I Guess Intuition Has Spoken Freaks The Creeps (You Are Giving Me) - That's a pretty accurate title for this song.

Lyrically, the song seems to be about being stalked, but even if it was an instrumental, the title would work given the eerie, somewhat pervy electro-funk sound of the track. If you're not immediately into this song, I'd recommend giving it a few more chances - I didn't realize how much I liked this song until the fifth time that I heard it. ( Click here to buy it from Amazon UK.

) Detroit Cobras Mean Man - Maybe it's a reaction to the overabundance of scuzzy faux-garage rockers who've copped their shtick in the past few years, or it could be the logical arc of their career, but either way, hats off to The Detroit Cobras for adding several coats of poppy gloss to their new album. It suits them well. Lo-fi Nuggets wannabes are a dime a dozen, but there aren't nearly enough bands that sound like The Pretenders fucking the J Geils Band.

( Click here to buy it from Rough Trade.) Ol' Dirty Bastard Brooklyn Zoo (live in San Bernardino, 2004) - John has already said just about everything that I wanted to say about Ol' Dirty Bastard over at The Tofu Hut with a greater eloquence than I could probably pull off, so I'm going to keep this brief. A lot of people throw around the word genius, but I think that ODB actually was one.

There has never been another performer even remotely like him in any genre, and I don't think that it could be possible to replicate his unique style, charisma, and skills. I think that there are a lot of casual listeners who have written him off as a ridiculous cartoon character, but anyone who has ever seriously listened to his music and lyrics would be keenly aware of the strange, compelling mixture of rage, desperation, wit, intelligence, uninhibited lust, and madness that informed all of his recorded work. ODB was clearly and unfortunately mentally ill, but that insanity was key to his art - at his most unhinged, we could see a reflection of the creepiest, darkest corners of our ids.

He revelled in the stuff that we all attempt to keep hidden. For a person who spent a sizeable chunk of his life locked away, ODB was a very free man. This recording of Brooklyn Zoo is from Ol' Dirty Bastard's final live performance with the Wu-Tang Clan earlier this year, which is now available on cd and dvd .

He spent most of the show calmly sitting on top of a monitor sipping from a water bottle, looking very serene and childlike until he'd get up and instantly shift into full-on ODB mode to drop a verse or engage in some bizarre stage banter. He was there in the moment, but he seemed removed and aloof. Maybe he was drugged.

Maybe he was tired. Maybe that's what he was like all of the time. ( Click here to buy it from Amazon.

) - Matthew Perpetua, 11/15/2004 11.12.2004 A Life Spent With No Cell Mate Some Girls Necessito - I was going to say that this song is the best thing that I've heard by Julianna Hatfield since Universal Heartbeat (you know, the one that goes a heaaaaaaaart, a heart that hurts is a heaaaaaart, a heart that works ), but then I realized that this is probably the best Julianna Hatfield song that I've heard other than Universal Heartbeat.

Please understand that I'm not trying to dis Ms. Hatfield - it's just true. This is a particularly strong bit of glossy indie rock with some charmingly paranoid lyrics and as pretty a reading of the line putting on my bug spray as you're likely to hear anywhere.

( Click here to buy it from Amazon.) Interpol @ Hammerstein Ballroom 11/11/2004 Next Exit / Evil / Length Of Love / Obstacle 1 / Public Pervert / Say Hello To The Angels / Not Even Jail / Hands Away / NYC / Slow Hands / Narc / PDA // Leif Erikson / Roland /// Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down There isn't very much to say about Interpol's live show. They aren't much to look at, given that their stage show seemed like a visual exploration of all the ways that a mostly motionless band can be backlit.

They are very tight and perform the songs almost exactly as they sound on record, though Paul Banks' voice seems more cartoonishly nasal and the bass and percussion sound more dynamic and urgent in person. Though they played every song that I wanted to hear, I question the judgement of playing the dullest, least essential songs of the night as encores. I suppose that if you look at encores as being bonus material supplemental to the regular show, then it's actually quite considerate of the audience, but realistically, they opted to end the show with an anticlimax.

Personally, I can't fathom why they wouldn't choose to close out the night with NYC, which is one of their biggest hits and has a particularly satisfying conclusion. The Secret Machines began and ended their set very well, but lagged through the middle mostly due to their repetitive sense of dynamics. Someone needs to explain to the drummer that though it can be kinda awesome, not every song needs to sound like When The Levvee Breaks.

Also, I don't remember the singer sounding quite so much like Geddy Lee on the album. Weird. - Matthew Perpetua, 11/12/2004 11.

11.2004 I'm Inclined To Just Say Screw It Plush I've Changed My # - This is a selection from Underfed , the newly released demo version of Plush's 2002 album Fed . Due to extremely high production costs, no American or European label was willing to pay for the record, so Fed was only released by the After Hours label in Japan.

The prohibitive cost of the Fed sessions came as a direct result of Plush leader Liam Hayes' fondness for highly detailed arrangements and obsession with the minutae of sound recording. Though Underfed can hardly be described as stripped-down, the songs are presented in earlier, less fussy incarnations that reveal a greater degree of warmth and spontaneity than the slicker, more dynamic final recordings. The Underfed versions sound much older, bearing a striking resemblence to early 70s AM rock to the point that you could probably fool a layperson into believing that I've Changed My # is an old Todd Rundgren track.

( Click here to buy it from Other Music.) Scala Kolacny Brothers Sexy Boy - The girls of the Scala Choir are back, this time augmented by a string section as they reinterpret Air's classic Sexy Boy as a mournful dirge. Though this isn't quite as amazing as their recordings of I Touch Myself and Bittersweet Symphony, this arrangement brings out a sort of bombastic melancholy which was only hinted at in the original.

( Click here to buy it from Amazon France.) - Matthew Perpetua, 11/11/2004 11.10.

2004 There Is A Brain Inside My Head Chicks On Speed w/ The No Heads The Household Song - If you read the press release accompanying the new Chicks On Speed record, it seems that the band is somehow quite embarassed by the pop records that they have recorded in the past few years, and are now going out of their way to distance themselves from the synthetic electroclash approach, eager to prove themselves as experimental artistes. This is very disappointing. Last winter's 99 Cents remains one of my favorite albums from the past year.

On that record CoS were a revelation, playing full-on modern pop arrangements in the style of producers like Richard X and Timbaland, but spiked with political commentary which was alternately strident and sardonic. Though I understand their desire to try new things and work with new collaborators, Press The Spacebar seems more like a retreat than an experiment. Most of the album feels rote and joyless, and very few of the songs seem like complete compositions.

The Household Song is the only track on the record which plays to the band's pop strengths, even if the lyrics err on the side of smugness and condescension. ( Click here to buy it from Chicks On Speed Records.) Christian Harder Grady - I wouldn't normally expect a lyric like welcome to my nightmare palace to be a big singalong hook in anything other than an industrial goth song, but I suppose that German electronic pop is close enough in spirit.

Strangely, this sounds more like a cross between Depeche Mode and Marilyn Manson than Manson's recent cover of Personal Jesus. (Well, it is if you pretend that Marilyn Manson only ever did stomping glam tunes like The Dope Show. ) ( Click here to buy it from Amazon Germany.

) - Matthew Perpetua, 11/10/2004 11.9.2004 I'm Gonna Kill Me A Cupid The Brunettes Loopy Loopy Love - I'm always a sucker for a song engaged in a dialogue with itself.

Though the lyrics attempt to fight off the irrational joy of love for fear of inevitable disappointment and pain, the winsome, dulcet melodies make a far more convincing case in the favor of swooning lovesickness. This is rather elegantly constructed pop song, above and beyond what I'd normally expect from most contemporary indie pop bands. ( Click here to buy it from Smoke CDs.

) Mercury Rev Across Yer Ocean - Anyone who may have been hoping for a change of direction on Mercury Rev's forthcoming The Secret Migration is in for a disappointment. Though this album is slighty more dreamy and psychedelic than their last two records, the band is still exploring the possibilities of their distinctly rural brand of space rock. Across Yer Ocean is a fine example of Mercury Rev's best trick; an ability to craft songs which play out on a melodramatic, epic scale but at the same time feel low key and intimate.

( Click here to pre-order it from Amazon UK.) - Matthew Perpetua, 11/9/2004 11.8.

2004 Is Your Dad A Dealer, Cos You're Dope To Me M.I.A.

URAQT (Diplo Mix) - Similar to how Sideways is now my favorite wine connoisseur road trip buddy movie, this is the best pop song about infidelity via cell phone text messaging that I've ever heard. The entirety of the Piracy Funds Terrorism mix by Diplo is hot, but this is the highest high, tucked away at the end of the cd just before the Big Pimpin' mash-up. I've had this tune stuck in my head all weekend, only partially due to the fact that I've been playing it endlessly on repeat.

( Click here to buy it from Turntable Lab.) S. I'm So Bored I'm Going To Sleep - I'm sure that S.

is probably very tired of being compared to Cat Power, but the singer really does sound a bit like Chan Marshall. Basically, this sounds like a Cat Power song trapped inside of the machinery of a giant killer robot. ( Click here to buy it from Suicide Squeeze.

) Also: The Fluxblog Vs. Stereogum night at APT is coming up on Tuesday, November 23rd. If you're in the NYC area, please do come out.

I've got some special stuff planned for the night, including a few songs so secret and so hot that I cannot post them on the blog. I don't want to give too much away, but here's one hint: KMSS. - Matthew Perpetua, 11/8/2004 11.

) / Man On The Moon R.E.M.

I Wanted To Be Wrong - R.E.M.

has become my stock answer whenever anyone asks me to name the least cool band that I love. It seems that no one wants to admit that they like them anymore, and if they do, they feel the need to qualify themselves: They were good up until ________. I don't think that R.

E.M. has ever stopped being a great band, though the post-Bill Berry material has been the least consistent period of their career to date.

There's a few good reasons for this. For one, their sense of quality control has diminished, resulting in overlong records padded out with filler. Up would have been more successful if it ended after 40 minutes, and Around The Sun could've been a very tight record if trimmed back to nine cuts.

Reveal , the weakest album in their catalog, could've been an excellent EP. The second big problem, which is made tremendously obvious when the newer songs are performed live, is that they've been producing their records very badly. They strip away the physical immediacy of the songs and bury everything under the icy gloss of infinite overdubs.

The Outsiders and High Speed Train sound bland and uninspired on record, but come alive with percussive oomph and Sonic Youth-worthy guitar noise in their live incarnations. Not much can keep either song from rising above competant mediocrity, but at least they aren't neutered and cringe-inducing. If I could pick the producer for the next record, it would be Spoon's Britt Daniel and Jim Eno, who are extremely gifted at recording dynamic, clean, unfussy rock records.

In particular, the sound that they get on their percussion is exactly what R.E.M.

need post-Berry - a backbeat that feels urgent and alive. The third problem is less obvious, and somewhat theoretical. Though I'm not sure if I even agree with this idea anymore, a strong case can be made that Michael Stipe's lyrical narrative has played itself out.

It's not hard to trace the evolution of Stipe's character over the course of his career, even if he (somewhat accurately) insists that he rarely writes from a confessional point of view. He begins as a shy young man prone to mumbling obtuse lyrics and suffering from conversation fear , but over the course of the IRS period, he transforms himself into a bombastic sloganeering political activist . He gradually develops the courage to write proper love songs , confront his mortality , express his sexuality, and openly examine his personal relationships.

The progress seems to come to a natural conclusion with Walk Unafraid , in which Stipe emerges as a confident, emotionally mature adult who accepts himself and is finally prepared to look you in the eye. That song earns its sense of triumph - I have no doubt that it is the very real culmination of the arc of one man's progress in dealing with his insecurity. The problem is, if part of the appeal of R.

E.M. is based on the cult of personality surrounding Michael Stipe, the dramatic tension is lost somewhat if we're dealing with this charming, plain spoken metrosexual rather than the earnest if incoherant persona which characterized the band's classic material.

Though present day Stipe is affable and inspiring, his current lyrics seem as though he's writing his own fan fic - The Further Adventures Of R.E.M.

, as it were. This is why it's a good thing that R.E.

M. are returning to writing overtly political music - they can enter into a context that doesn't have to involve Michael the persona, but can capitalize on Stipe's new fondness for clear, declarative language. When Stipe introduced I Wanted To Be Wrong last night at Madison Square Garden, he said that it was one of the few songs that he's ever written sung directly from his point of view.

Though I tend to distrust that statement, I believe that bit of information lends some extra power to the song, in which the singer attempts to understand the perspective and culture of the red states, but is frustrated when he cannot. It's probably the best expression of an idea which is both personal and political in his entire career, and hints at a direction which does in fact move beyond the emotional resolution of Walk Unafraid.

) R.E.M.

Begin The Begin (live in Germany, 2003) - The show last night was both fun (a lot of upbeat numbers, fewer ballads and mid-tempo tracks than on previous tours) and cathartic. Stipe barely talked at all over the course of the show (which is sort of amazing if you've seen them play at all in the past five years), later explaining that he didn't know what to say, and was electing to let the music do the talking. As a result, the setlist was very lyrically driven, focusing on material relevant to recent events.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) seemed to express the band's mission statement for the night and was an excellent and truly surprising opener (in the sense that the song had not yet been played on this tour and is traditionally the final song of the night). In terms of the song's prescient lyrics and the band's raw enthusiasm, Begin The Begin sounded as though it could've been written yesterday. The audience were mostly quite lame.

Most of the people in my section opted to hit the bathrooms and the concession stands whenever they played a song from Around The Sun (I don't understand why people like this go to see music events, especially expensive ones at big venues.) Almost everyone flipped out when they played The One I Love, Losing My Religion, and What's The Frequency, Kenneth?, yet classics like Get Up and Life And How To Live It were met with only small pockets of enthusiasm.

Stipe introduced Cuyahoga as a song taking place in Ohio, which resulted in loud booing from all over the arena. Still, there was loud applause every time he sang the line let's put our heads together and start a new country up, which was more reassuring. On my way out of the arena, I overheard two guys who looked like ex-frat dudes talk about how great it was that Michael didn't talk much because they can't stand liberal whining.

Sigh. A few minutes later, I saw a cute girl in a bright orange t-shirt with homemade lettering which read I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Crush, which kinda sorta cancelled out those goons. ( Click here to buy it from Amazon.

) Also: If you happen to be in the NYC area this weekend, I strongly encourage you to go to the WFMU Record Fair , which is at the Metropolitan Pavilion, located at 125 West 18th Street, just off of 6th Avenue. The Fair is open for regular admission ( 5) on Friday from 7-10 PM, and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM - 7 PM. - Matthew Perpetua, 11/5/2004 11.

4.2004 Baby Steps To Euphoria Plus-Tech Squeeze Box The Martin Show!!

- Like the singer says, don't let it get you down. There's a lot of very good reasons to feel pessimistic about the future of the United States and the world at large, but we cannot let our fear and anger consume us. If we can't let ourselves enjoy our lives, there isn't much of a point in living them or working to make things better.

Rend unto Caesar, etc. There's still plenty of room in our lives for joy, and J-Pop Jackson 5 (or is that Hanson?) pastiches that sound like a better, more ecstatic version of the world.

( Click here to buy it from HMV Japan or here to visit the official Plus-Tech Squeeze Box site.) Pavan Panik Mix - Of course, the nagging panic just doesn't go away, especially for those of us most likely to suffer as a direct result of the Bush agenda. Perhaps we could learn a trick from this song, which transforms a series of nervous clicks and stutters into a calm, meditative groove.

( Click here to buy it from Mitek.) - Matthew Perpetua, 11/4/2004 11.3.

2004 Walking Through Town Is Quite Scary And Not Very Sensible Either Depeche Mode Clean (Colder Version) - I'm sure that most of you will understand that I'm barely in the state of mind to do this today. I've been seething with rage since around 11 PM. Still, if you want to get a feel for where I'm at right now, this song just about nails it.

The jackboot beat, the feeling of dread and impotence. The subdued panic, the gut sickness. The static and noise of the media scraping at the walls of my skull, keeping me from concentrating on anything else.

( Click here to buy it from Amazon. Click here to see Colder perform live in NYC tonight.) Kaiser Chiefs I Predict A Riot - Well, I do.

The fix is in, and we're all being backed into a corner. Either we go down fighting, or we retreat into smaller and smaller cultural bubbles to hide from reality and keep ourselves from engaging with the people who keep George W. Bush in power.

I'm ashamed to say it, but I probably won't ever stop doing the latter, though I know this situation will never change unless we kill the destructive memes that are propping up this administration. ( Click here to buy it from Rough Trade.) - Matthew Perpetua, 11/3/2004 11.

2.2004 Let's Get It Right This Time Sylvie Marks Hal9000 Blütenspass - And now it is the time on Sprockets when we dance. I would really like to write something clever and/or insightful about this song, but no matter how many times I listen to it, I've got nothing.

I adore the recurring synth-horn motif (scan up to 2:14), but I don't know what to say about it other than oooh, pretty sound. That's all I've got, folks. Oooooooh, pretty German sounds.

( Click here to buy it from Bpitch Control.) Brooks A Little Bit Of Time - Set against a galloping, thumping electronic beat, the slow, mournful vocals in this song create the illusion that the music is in fact much slower than it actually is. It's a peculiar song, perhaps best described as a sort of house music dirge.

( Click here to buy it from Juno.) Sorry about the half-assed writing today - I'm very distracted by today's election, and these are both examples of good songs that aren't easy for me to write about. Note to Fiery Furnaces fans: The show at Maxwell's on Sunday was alright, but they were clearly quite tired and drunk and put on a mediocre show in comparison to previous New York gigs.

The setlist and first encore were identical to that of the recent Bowery Ballroom show , but there was a Matt-and-Eleanor-only second encore which included a reprise of Evergreen with Matt on the Rhodes piano, a duet reading of We Got Back The Plague (also played on the Rhodes), and the regular slow guitar version of Rub Alcohol Blues. It was a treat to hear them play those last three songs slowly after rushing through the first 40 minutes of the show. I hope that in the future they allow themselves to take their time and play up the nuances of their songs rather than simply packing in as many as possible in under an hour.

Though I definitely enjoy the hyperactive medley approach, it is probably time for them to start displaying a different side of themselves and their music in live performance. - Matthew Perpetua, 11/2/2004 Go To Archive (Please Note That MP3s Are Only Offered For a Limited Time And Are Changed Frequently) Fluxblog Endorses These High Quality Web Products My Stuff Photo Gallery POP Clap Clap Flyboy Byron Bitchlaces* Anthony Is Right The Tofu Hut* Stereogum* S/FJ Do You Feel Loved?* The Original Soundtrack Antidisingenuousmentarianism Get Up Stand Up Coolfer Catchdubs Whatevs Go Fug Yourself Into The Groove* Stypod* International House Of Pussy* NYLPM* Poplife Benn Loxo Du Taccu* Jess Harvell Orbis-Quintus* Enthusiastic But Mediocre* Music For Robots* The Suburbs Are Killing Us* John Peel Lives* Ready Rock Moe Rex* Said The Gramophone* Teaching The Indie Kids.

from people who say that reading news on a Blackberry is nothing new, they ve been doing it for years. I m sure they have, and people were listening to MP3s on Macs and PCs before podcasting, but that doesn t mean it wasn t a turning point for audio on the Internet.
: The Blackberry works for reading news.

: Nice work, I usually have a load of RSS readers on my phone, but the NYTimesRiver is something I ll bookmark on all of them.
When I got my Blackberry, at first it was culture shock, I wanted my Plain Jane Nokia back, but after a while I got used to using it as a phone, then fell in love with it because it did email so well, but I wanted more, I wanted news.
This was followed by a few weeks of experimentation, until I reached nirvana, on Saturday, on a trip on BART, where cell coverage is pretty good, I was able to read a few stories from the Sunday New York Times, and I knew this was it, this is going to be huge, these devices work for reading news.

Now the question is how to promote it so that all the people who can benefit from it hear about it.
I ve not been so excited or so sure about a new direction for mobile technology since podcasting in June 2004. I m sure we ll look back on this as a turning point for mobile news.

Where does it make sense? Certainly for urban bus and rail commuters where there s good cell coverage. And for people who travel by air, many of whom have devices that are capable of reading news, but they may not know it yet.

Predictable backlash from people who say that reading news on a Blackberry is nothing new, they ve been doing it for years. I m sure they have, and people were listening to MP3s on Macs and PCs before podcasting, but that doesn t mean podcasting wasn t a turning point for audio on the Internet.
The fact is that today most people with web-capable mobile devices aren t reading news on them.

I d wager it isn t because they don t want to, I think many of them do. If it were easy enough. The problem with most of the methods people talk about is that they require a lot of effort to set up, or only work in certain contexts, or are a lot of work to use.

is good because it requires no setup, one size fits all, and it delivers consistent value, and coverage. It would even be innovative for the desktop, because of the zero setup.
People get confused with difficulty to program and utility.

It wasn t an act of great programming prowess to get this software running. But try it out on someone on an airplane or bus with a Blackberry or Treo, and watch their eyes light up, their chin drop. That s hard to do too.

Someday people will understand why simplicity in this stuff is essential, that s when it takes off, when it s reduced to its most basic value, and delivered in a package that can quickly gain buzz and critical mass.
Over in another of the tech they re having a discussion about blogs that make big money. I still think Scripting News has the record there, by a wide margin.

Last year we did 2.3 million in revenue. Expenses?

One salary (mine) and about 1000 per month in server costs. A few thousand for contract programming. Pre-tax profit?

Millions.
People think blogs are about advertising, and I would agree, but they re thinking in terms of clicks and eyeballs, and I m thinking of technology that s created using the intelligence of community participation.
Want to see how it s done?

It s here in the archive of this blog. Don t have the time to read the archive? Read today s blog.

We will get a whole new flow built here, through persistent experimentation, refinement, listening, promoting, thinking, and looping.
Is there money in this? A lot more than most people think, because they re still thinking in 20th century terms.

I don t share this space with hitch-hikers. I use my blog for my own ideas. They make good money.

No point diluting what I have to say.
Want to know more? on August 3.

I watched the first installment of Spike Lee s story of New Orleans and Katrina. It s been a long time since TV gripped me so emotionally and not let go.
I went back to New Orleans in December to see what had happened, but I didn t understand what had been there during the flood, what had already been cleaned up.

Where I drove there had been bodies floating. The water was so deep, I never had a sense of how impossible it was for humans to cope with that. How many people died, and here a year later, how can we put that in perspective.

We weren t attacked, the deaths were largely preventable.
It is important to look back, to remember that last year we lost of one our cities, and many thousands of our people lost their homes. A culture died, and our political life is a void until we really feel that.

It has never happened in the United States before. We ve never lost a whole city like that.
The tragedy is still here, today, in our hearts.

Perhaps we think we ve moved on, but I don t think we have. New Orleans was part of America. It was part of us.
