ninja-man bob on music:
|
|
|
|
Corm: The Conservation of Momentum 7"
|
|
(shute number 7 / dischord 98.75)
|
|
|
|
DC's very own Corm does it again with their new 7": The
|
|
Conservation of Momentum. 3 new songs full of typical strong Corm
|
|
vocals, dynamic beats, and new sounds of brass. Older Fugazi and
|
|
influence of Edsel come to mind. The anticipation and eventual
|
|
execution of the solo breakdown in "Movie Actor Patrick" is almost
|
|
orgasmic.

Dead Kennedys: Give Me Convenience of Give Me Death
|
|
(alternative tentacles records)
|
|
|
|
I don't know why you WOULDN'T have this album, especially if
|
|
you're a dk fan. It has everything: reckless, carefree, FUCK-YOU
|
|
punk songs, satirical political bits, Biafra humor (he even tells
|
|
ya a STORY!), long songs, short songs, really short songs, and a
|
|
great deal of meaningful commentaries that most of you won't
|
|
absorb. A great interpretation of "I fought the law" and even a
|
|
couple of live songs are included.
|
|
Kinky sex makes the world go round, buy this album.

Nine Inch Nails: Further Down the Spiral
|
|
(halo ten)
|
|
|
|
Decent, but definitely not up to par. Compared to Fixed, the
|
|
mixes of BROKEN, these remixes (of songs off of The Downward
|
|
Spiral) are disgracefully uncompetitive. Rick Rubin made Piggy
|
|
sound like house music (still rather energetic, but a lot more
|
|
upbeat) and Peter Christopherson/Coil threw in some of his strange
|
|
flavor on a couple of tracks, but I thought the highlight of the
|
|
whole album was the hard-edged, mechanical, industrial creation of
|
|
Aphex Twin: at the heart of it all. My opinion: if you want some
|
|
good CURRENT mixes, buy halo 9: closer (don't be fooled! this cd-
|
|
single nears an hour of playtime and a whole lot better).

Pixies: Trompe le Monde
|
|
|
|
I've never heard anything by this group that was any less than
|
|
spectacular and this album is definitely no exception. Their
|
|
ingenuitive music set inspiration for countless contemporary bands,
|
|
and after listening to it, you'll know why. From quick and catchy
|
|
pop songs of Black Francis to the compellingly mellow music
|
|
appropriately backed by the soothing voice of Kim Deal, I can
|
|
honestly say this is the best music I have ever bought for a buck.
|
|
Of course, you can no longer purchase it for that price, but you
|
|
have your great modern radio stations to thank for that.
|
|
Overall, very emotional music.. inspiring even. Switching
|
|
moods like a fat woman does buffet plates, this music will have you
|
|
ready to take on the world in one moment, crying for your lover in
|
|
another, and then up and running again. Perfect any occasion: buy
|
|
it, thank me l8r.

Jen Hitt: Music For the Royal Fireworks
|
|
|
|
Wonderful local blastpop. Very Velocity Girl with guitar that
|
|
hints early Billy Corgan. Though containing some calming soft
|
|
spots, this tape possesses an aura of fun pop music. Personally,
|
|
I hoped for more crazy beats from the bass-man, but definitely
|
|
worth the five dollars. Watch for these crazy QOHS'ers ('cept
|
|
Tammy, the vocals: UMD for her) at a fine musical establishment
|
|
near you.
|
|
Mail me if you're interested in future shows, new music, etc.
