Take offs and Landings
I slept a lot today, well yesterday... I was driven into hibernation by the ridiculousness of the NFL draft I reckon
I ended up missing out on the coachella webcast
there always tomorrow though
check it out
im particularly interested in Banhart as hes playing Pitchfork fest and ive heard several differing opinions concerning the quality of his live show. I dig his stuff so heres hoping hes able to convey that intrigue to the stage. Ted Leo will be at P4K as well but i already know he kicks ass live.
My dads always on my case about my skipping church on Sundays so this morning ive got a "religious" band
only not really
Anathallo have taken to describing themselves as a "marching band gone wild". Critics have hailed them as a unique blend (only not really ) of Animal Collective and Sufjan Stevens.
I have a couple tracks off their 2006 release Floating World for you all today and wanted to include some highlights from their past catalog
but there just arent any.
Floating World is a drastic departure from their old sound of, well, sucking ass. I like it a lot though.
Heres an excerpt from a feature in Paste Magazine from last october...

Heres an excerpt from a feature in Paste Magazine from last october...
...While initially conceived as something akin to a youthful post-punk Stomp! ensemble, Anathallo has been through several incarnations, both stylistically and personnel-wise. The band’s fifth release, Floating World, is tentatively scheduled for a January release. “[By this album] we exorcized the demons of our teenage angst and our necks began to hurt from all the head banging,” Joynt says. “I think we just found different dynamics and structures fascinating and challenging. The Beach Boys reentered the picture, as well as some Russian composers and Nathan’s roots in Jazz. Oh, and Yes. The band, I mean.”
so lets ignore the fact that they used to be really bad and enjoy these tracks from floating world....
Genessaret (going out over 30,000 fathoms of water)
Hanasakajijii (four: a great wind, more ash)
you can pick up a copy of Floating World here, Anathallo Store , but scroll at your own risk!
these guys are playing Lollapalooza. Theyre on my list of "if no one else is on at the same time"
they sound like theyd be fun to see live.
Heres one my dad would not approve of
I first heard of Sparks in a discussion about Queen where i was informed that Queen had basically ripped their sound from these guys. Its pretty obvious with only a moments listen that its true. Unfortunatly neither of the brothers Mael has a voice even near on par with Mercury's. Not that they havent enjoyed success. 2006 has seen the release of their 20th studio album in three decades of work, Hello Young Lovers.
Its... interesting
(Baby Baby) Can I Invade Your Country?
As I Sit To Play The Organ At The Notre Dame Cathedral
and some of my favorites from their past releases
Angst in My Pants from 1982's Angst in My Pants
Tits from 1975's Indiscreet
Lady is Lingering " "
Midlake and some Croce and son later
