hi.
a few things:
1. anyone heard of this? any comments?
SANDRA SEYMOUR & ANA BUSTO Night Fights: A Boxing Soundscape CD
The wild, wonderful and weird world of boxing! Various boxing sounds
(speed bag, heavy bag, sparring, fight night, ring announcers, rowdy
crowds) collected and assembled into a surprisingly entertaining
soundscape. Spanish import.
2. saw mouse on mars/icu/languis last night; in brief:
languis - saw the second part of the set.. good stuff, though the live
drummer with electronic music is not my thing -- from what people told me
i would have really enjoyed the first part. next time i spose.
icu - in their defence they were down a member and the sound was poorly
mixed. still doesnt change the fact that i didnt like it at all. fans of
the whole darla thing might have enjoyed it more than i did -- but im not
too into the whole indie-rock gone electronic sound.
mouse on mars - the first song (the sofist track, the opener, off the new
album) was REALLY REALLY good. didnt care for the rest of the show, but i
think that was more my fault/attitude/mood last night. mouse on mars
rocked my little acid heart when i saw them open for stereolab (especially
the encore collaboration with members of stereolab and high llamas)
and i think i was expecting them to do the same this time too. ahh well,
i just hope indie rock isnt too too contagious these days.. but a lot of
folks at the show seemed to have gotten something i didnt :) must be in
the air.
please, no more overt rock n roll drum kits in electronic music !
(yeah,yeah,yeah -- im not feeling open about this whole thing and am
somewhat of a hypocrite considering im such a jim o'rourke fan.. but
whatever, i find the rock-electronic hybrid to be dull most of the time).
and i also know i am in the minority -- many friends of mine were talking
about how fantastic mouse on mars were last night.. wish i could agree.
next stop: phoenecia in so-cal on saturday!
