Source: Jimmy Eat World Is EMO

16/03/30 at 6.00pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

A few weeks ago, I was surfing the world wide web and happened to stumble upon an entertainment blog called Rolling Stone Magazine.

I came across a post entitled The 40 Greatest EMO Albums Of All Time.  I couldn’t resist, sorry, I double clicked on it immediately, I know you will too.  What’s the saying, curiosity killed the cat?

What I discovered will finally put closure to the most asked question in music history…..

Jimmy Eat WorldIs Jimmy Eat World EMO? 

Rolling Stone spared no expense on this project. They recruited only the finest EMO experts on the planet to conjure up this list.  The six EMO connoisseurs consist of Jonah Bayer, Aaron Burgess, Suzy Exposito, Leor Galil, James Montgomery and Brittany Spanos.

The results are truly breathtaking.

Apparently, these six experts couldn’t decide on what the worst Jimmy Eat World album is, so they had to include two of them. As mind-boggling as it may seem,  Jimmy Eat World is the only band to place two albums in the countdown.  The pride and joy of Mesa, Arizona came in at #13 with 1999′s Clarity, and at #8 with the 2001 release Bleed American.

I won’t give away too much information, that would ruin your stroll down memory lane, but, Sunny Day Real Estate is represented.  Did you ever notice that Jenny LSQ can’t go an entire episode of the Old School Show on Sirius XMU without including a track from Sunny Day Real Estate? What is it with that?

To my surprise, The Jealous Sound came in at #31 with their 2003 release Kill Them With Kindness.  I always liked The Jealous Sound, I guess I’ll have to start not liking The Jealous Sound, or at the very least, I won’t tell anyone I like The Jealous Sound.  Who remembers the tune “The Fold Out?”

Dashboard fans will be none too pleased with this list.  Just sayin.

I think we’re all fighting a never ending battle with this EMO thing, it just won’t go way.  I’m proud to officially announce that Jimmy Eat World is EMO, always was, is, and ever will be, EMO.

Amen.

Bloc Party Ends Hiatus

15/03/18 at 11.44am   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

Bloc-Party-007London based indie rock band Bloc Party have finally ended their 20-month hiatus.  Frontman Kele Okereke (more on him in a future post) confirmed on Australian radio that the band is working on their fifth studio album and shared a snippet of the track “Exes.”

Mr. Okereke had this to say, “I guess it’s the first time that I have talked about it but we are making a record at the moment. It’s sounding like nothing that we’ve done before but that’s what everyone always says. We’re at the writing/recording phase. We’ve started recording — I think we have about 18 [song] ideas and we’re going to lay them down properly in the next few months.” 

Bloc Party Silent AlarmThe band recently celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the release of their debut album Silent Alarm.  The well-received LP was named my #1 Album Of The Decade, and I still stand behind that proclamation.  I know, if you wanted to listen to Gang Of Four, you would fucking listen to Gang Of Four, whatever.  The incredible 13-song effort is only one of the reasons that Bloc Party is one of my favorite bands to surface over the last ten years.

Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster Wish List

Thanksgiving imageAs I sit here writing this post, I should probably be counting the things that I’m thankful for; instead I’m counting up the bands that are on my Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster Wish List.  Thanksgiving Day has always been the official start of Coachella Season, why should this year be any different?

Over the past few months, I’ve been compiling a list of bands that I want to see play the 2015 Coachella Music Festival, through my posts.  Until Coachella unveils the official line-up, I will continue to make Frequent Updates to my Perfect Poster.  By no means is this a prediction or confirmation list, that exercise is conducted by the fine folks over at the Consequence Of Sound.  In order for a band to be added to the poster, I must mention the band in an upcoming post.  Remember, my game my rules.  Below is a list of bands that have already been mentioned and are on my Wish List.  All Systems Go.

Ride Reunites, Coachella Appearance Likely

14/11/20 at 1.49pm   /   by deepster19   /   2 Comments

Ride reunionWith the recent reunion success of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, fellow legendary British shoegazers Ride have decided to reunite and join in all the gazing fun.  The band initially announced 9 tour dates that begins in Glasgow (please inform Glasgow) next May 22, and includes an appearance at the Barcelona Primavera Festival on May 29.  The only U.S. date thus far is a visit to the Big Apple on June 4

While the news may come to some as the most significant music to one’s ears since the announcement that The Stone Roses were getting back together, others may react with simply “that’s nice, now I can get on with the rest of my day.”  I could say the news comes as a surprise, but when it comes to Heritage Acts, I wouldn’t be anymore surprised if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet.

Ride GBAAbout two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching Slowdive perform at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, while watching the band I thought to myself, man, the only thing better than this would be a Ride reunion, and there you go.  This isn’t the first time I’ve had Ride on the brain over the last month.  I was out with a friend back in October to see The Horrors, the band’s between set music included the Ride tune “Leave Them All Behind.”  I have since promptly dusted off the albums Nowhere and Going Black Again, as well as turned my friend on to Ride.

When I reflect back on the last few years, I’ve been fortunate enough to see many of my favorite bands from early nineties.  Lets reflect, shall we, in no particular order of course:  The Charlatans UK, Happy Monday (albeit a Shaun Ryder karaoke performance), My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, The Stone Roses, Pulp, James, Blur, and Slowdive.  Apologies if I missed anyone.  The Ride reunion will be epic, and I will be there, come hell or high water.

What made this reunion come together was Ride guitarist Andy Bell’s former band Beady Eye recently called it quits.  Don’t get overly concerned that the band has only announced 9 dates, there will be more, tour dates galore for that matter.  When Goldenvoice feels the time is right to reveal the 2015 Coachella Line up (I believe it will come much sooner than later this year), you can bet your bottom dollar that R-I-D-E will be on line 2, possibly right under Pink Floyd.  Talk about fun, Ride hitting the main stage right before Pink Floyd on Sunday night to close out the festival, that would be fun, right?  Not to mention, Mr. Bell owes us one,  his former band Beady Eye canceled their appearance at the festival earlier this year.  Add Ride to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

Here’s what Andy Bell had to say about the reunion:

“It’s going to be really cool. As we were all still friends, we always thought when the time was right we’d do it. And now the time is right.” 

Ride singer/guitarist Mark Gardener who always has been adamant that Ride would never reform, added this:

“People bought our records first time round…but our music has grown in significance since we’ve been away… We want to give the people what they want. We’d be idiots to go out and play a new album, but that’s not to say we wouldn’t make new music.” 

Not only was the time right, but I can only imagine the money is  much better than it was back in 1990.  To find out more about Ride, check out the piece I wrote on the band for Flashback Friday last year right here.

Now that we’ve gotten the Ride reunion out of the way, we start demanding a Catherine Wheel reunion.

Pixies To Revisit “Doolittle” … Yet Again

14/10/16 at 10.20am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Pixies DoolittleApparently, the 20-year Anniversary celebration of the Pixies classic album “Doolittle” did not produce the revenue numbers to Frank Black’s liking.  The band recently announced plans to reissue the “Doolittle” album in a special expanded 25th anniversary edition.

The new “Doolittle” is scheduled to drop on December 2 and be made available on 2LP’s, 3 compact discs, or for those that can’t stand anything physical, digital form.  The expanded edition is said to include 50 tracks, in other words, the 15 original tracks from “Doolittle” and 35 different variations of those tunes.

Maybe what the band will to do is; tour the world two times over playing “Doolittle” is its entirety for the next four years selling t-shirts that shrink 2 sizes after the first wash… wait, they already did that.

In all seriousness this is what can be found on the expanded “Doolittle.”

EMO Rears Its Ugly Head Yet Again

14/07/25 at 10.14am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

HumJust when you thought it was safe to listen to your favorite indie rock radio station or surf the world wide web, this appears.  The fine folks over at Stereogum felt compelled to post an article that chronicles the 30 most essential EMO tunes of all time.  An interesting part of this piece is that the list begins circa 1994 and concludes eight years later in 2002.  Call me crazy, but I first time I starting hearing the ugly term EMO was right around the time that this list cuts off.

The more I accidentally dive into the subject of EMO, the more confused I become.  It seems as if some of the post-hardcore bands from the mid-nineties have been categorized as EMO, well after the fact.  I listened to bands such as, Jawbox, Quicksand, Jawbreaker and Hum (pictured top) back in the day, and if I knew they were EMO I would have avoided them at all cost, well maybe.  Watch Hum’s video for “Stars” below.  Furthermore, I’m sorry, but Husker Du is not EMO, never was and never will be.

A few weeks ago I was surprised by many of the selections for the special episode of the Old School show on Sirius XMU featuring nothing but “EMO.”  I remember diggin’ the tune “Drive On To Me” by the Louisville, Kentucky band Elliot (pictured below) at the turn of the century.  Who knew at the time I was listening to EMO, as it was included on the shows EMO playlist?  Listen to the tune below and decide for yourself,  sadly I guess I had EMO tendencies back then…

ElliotWriter Patric Fallon points out that this list is from “the golden era of EMO,” an eight year period of time that coincidentally is when I’ve always argued that some of the worst music was released in my lifetime, and quite possible ever.

The more the subject of EMO occupies my time, the more frustrated I get.  However, the mention of EMO always brings me back to one certainty, Jimmy Eat World is EMO, always was, and always will be.  EMO is in the eye of beholder.  Thoughts?

Failure Wrap Up Successful ‘Tree of Stars Tour’ – Record New Music

14/06/21 at 9.06pm   /   by present-tense   /   0 Comment

Failure - Marquee 0

Present-Tense here contributing another article so Daver will stop attributing his love for Lana Del Rey to me. I think he’s got some weird projection issues or something. I mean, I did check out some of Lana’s new stuff on Spotify and it wasn’t too bad, but that was just because Daver wouldn’t lay off. “Ultraviolence” helped me get to sleep in under 10 minutes, so it has that going for it.

Anyways…the band Failure wrapped up their successful ‘Tree of Stars’ Tour in Hollywood, California on June 18th. I had the privilege of catching two of their shows on this tour and I have to say the 17 year wait was worth it.

I got into Failure  just as they were in the process of breaking up. I actually caught of snippet of their tune ‘Stuck On You’ during a segment for the movie “Independence Day” on the 1997 MTV Movie awards. Yeah, that was pretty random. From that point on, I’ve been a little obsessed over them. Not to the level I am with Pearl Jam, but pretty damn close.

Failure - CinquantraThe first of the two Failure shows I attended were part of the Maynard James Keenan 50th Birthday party celebration called Cinquantra. My buddy and I (Sean) were lucky to get tickets to the May 11th show (Mothers Day). Failure played 9 songs, but the uniqueness of the event led many people to experience their music more than they would have if it they were a traditional opening band. Failure was dispersed throughout the evening and it was to hear them perform ‘The Nurse Who Loved Me’ with Maynard. So even though they played 9 songs, it left me wanting more.

My luck continued to run as they announced a show at the Marquee Theater in Tempe Arizona on June 13th. I knew that as soon as this show was announced I would get to see this band for the first time up close. I dragged the wife to this concert as she’s been hearing me go on and on about this band for the last 12 years to her. I mean she went to see Year of the Rabbit with me when they opened for Pete Yorn (Ken Andrews side project), so she had to go with me to this show right?

Failure opened up their Marquee show with a 20 minute videFailure - Marquee 3o of film clips that inspired them over the years. Clips included some scenes from “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “The Spy Who Loved Me” (which inspired their music video for ‘Stuck on You’ and “Solaris”.

When they took the stage they launched into ‘Another Space Song’ one of my favorites from “Fantastic Planet”. Throughout the evening “Fantastic Planet” featured heavily into their set. A few “Magnified” tracks appeared (‘Undone’, ‘Frogs’, ‘Small Crimes’ and ‘Wet Gravity’) as well as a few from “Comfort” (‘Macaque’ and ‘Screen Man’). The band played for around 2 hours which was great, and throughout the evening they looked like they were having fun. Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards could be seen switching instruments (Bass/Lead Guitar) and drummer Kelli Scott seemed to have four feet. The bass drum and bass guitar were turned way up leading me to almost have an irregular heartbeat.

Failure Marquee 1At the merch table they were selling E.Ps which included 4 live tracks (2 of which were recorded at the Tool show back in March) and a new song called ‘Come Crashing’. I happened to secure one of these EPs so if people are interested I can perhaps give you a listen. As of this post, Failure has released another new track titled ‘The Focus’.

Here’s to more Failure and for more people hearing about this amazing band.

KASABIAN Announce New Album & Share Single “Eez-eh”

14/04/29 at 4.13pm   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

Casabian shoot 2011KASABIAN, one of my fave bands to emerge over the last ten years, announced today that their fifth studio album is scheduled to be released on June 10. The new album is titled 48:13, after the total running time of the record.

The follow-up to the 2011 release Velociraptor! is described by frontman Tom Meighan as “less is more, you know? It’s direct. It is what it is. Just listen to it. We’ve had the confidence to lay ourselves bare. Serge has stripped it right back. It’s unbelievable.” Guitarist Sergio Pizzorno adds that “I felt we had the confidence to be more direct, more honest with this album. I started to strip away layers rather than to just keep adding.” Pizzorno wrote and produced the album.

Pixies Go Boom!

14/03/03 at 9.30pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Pixies-17Last Monday night GoINDEEpMusic was out at the Comerica Theatre in Downtown Phoenix. I took my act on the road to see my beloved Pixies for the tenth time since the band reunited in 2004, and eleventh overall. I’m not sure if that’s something I should be proud of, or embarrassed.

The band whipped through a 31-song set that lasted the better part of an hour and 45 minutes. The set featured seven of the eight new songs that have surfaced recently on EP-1 and EP-2. In addition, they played the single “Bagboy,” along with a new song “Silver Snail,” that has yet to see an official release. Many of the tunes that fans have grown accustomed to hearing at Pixies shows over the last ten years were present, however there were many glaring omissions. Moving forward, get used it, this is what it’s going to sound like, thankfully I dig most of the new stuff.

New bassist Paz delivered a solid performance, even if she needed a laminated cheat sheet. Ms. Lenchantin’s behavior seemed right in line with what’s expected of a Pixies bassist, at no time did she act in a way that was unbecoming of a Pixies bassist. I didn’t spend as much time analyzing Paz as I would’ve liked, that’s because I kept staring at David Lovering’s beard. When they first took the stage I said to myself, why did the roadie take the stage with them? Man, It took me a second to even recognize him, but then I realized… they just played Portland.

U2′s The Edge Discusses Becoming A Heritage Act

14/02/13 at 11.17pm   /   by deepster19   /   1 Comment

edgeWhile U2 are putting the finishing touches on their 13th studio album, guitarist The Edge discussed the thought of becoming “A Heritage Act” with U.K. magazine NME. With what is slowly becoming a bitter pill to swallow, Mr. Edge had this to say about the band’s inevitable future:

“We don’t want to ever be a heritage act,” The Edge said. “It might happen, but we’ll go kicking and screaming into that mode. We feel the place for us to be is part of the conversation of contemporary culture and music and film and everything else, and we don’t see the reason why we can’t, because it’s been possible for various artists in different forms. Frank Lloyd Wright, to the day he died, was designing the most incredible things – we want to be part of that rather than grow old gracefully.”

This news comes almost 11 months to the day that FOALS frontman Yannis Philippakis stirred up the debate of Heritage Vs. Non-Heritage Acts, a debate this blog embraced. Let’s revisit Mr. Philippakis’ comments once again for shits and giggles, shall we…

yannis“The small group of bands who repeatedly headline festivals in the UK is a big problem,” continuing: “There’s a big problem with old bands who always occupy the top slots at festivals. More Heritage names reform every year, which only makes it worse. It really limits bands of our generation. We don’t get a fair chance to headline, because the slots are reserved for the same old names.”

Philippakis went on to say: “You get people in their late 30s going to festivals, in their dungarees with a couple of kids, wanting to relive their adolescence, pretending they’re baggy again by watching The Stone Roses. They aren’t in touch with what’s going on now. I’m bored of seeing some dude from the ’90s headline, it means nothing to me.”

Too bad Yannis will never know how in touch that dude in his mid-forties standing there in his dungarees really is.

U2, the soon-to-be Heritage Act, are planning a summer release date for their forthcoming album, currently untitled. The album’s production was slowed a tad while they worked on the song “Ordinary Love” for the movie Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. In addition, The Edge and Co. released the song “Invisble,” to help raise money to fight AIDS, during the Super Bowl. Future events include performing at the 86th Academy Awards next month… you know, things that Heritage Acts do.

Coachella 2014: 77 Bands In 77 Days

White Lies

WhiteLies02AF220111
Over the next 11 weeks I’ll dig deep into the 2014 Coachella Music Festival lineup, featuring one band per day. The purpose of this piece is to assist in difficult decisions that inevitably you’ll need to make, as well as, serve as a fun countdown to Coachella Week. Note: All bands appear in a completely random order… Enjoy, and let the countdown begin!

Check out previous days here.

Day 18 = White Lies
Performing = Saturday

White Lies are an English post-punk band hailing from London. The band was formerly known as the Fear Of Flying prior to starting White Lies in 2007. The trio felt the dark and doomy music that they we’re beginning to write didn’t suit the old band’s Brit-pop style, and that led to the formation of the new act.

The band has released three studio albums… really, three! I completely lost track of these dudes after the release of their solid debut To Lose My Life. I honestly thought they we’re one and done. Upon further review, they dropped the albums Ritual in 2011 and Big TV this past August.

The group cites their major musical influences as Talking Heads and Secret Machines, however, critics have compared their sound to Joy Division, Interpol, and Editors. Frontman Harry McVeigh denies those comparisons saying “We weren’t alive during that period of music, we’ve never really been that into Joy Division, especially not the Editors…or even Interpol really.” I guess he’s right, how could they have ever possibly listened to Joy Division if they weren’t alive in the late seventies….. McVeigh continues, “I don’t think our music sounds a whole lot like those comparisons, I think we’re a lot more euphoric and uplifting.” If you say so Harry.

I can remember being excited to check out the second half of their set on MACCA Day 2009. Anyway, I was catching The Ting Tings in the Sahara of all places. I don’t normally find myself in the Sahara, but the one thing I’ve come to find out through the years is… absolutely nothing goes as scheduled in that tent. The Ting Tings start thirty minutes late and I end up missing White Lies completely. Maybe our paths will cross in 2014.

The band is currently offering the track “Getting Even” from their latest album Big TV as a free download on their website via soundcloud.

Day 8 = The Knife
Performing = Friday

The Knife are the brother-sister duo of Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer. The electronic act formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1999. Over a fifteen year career the band has released four studio albums, all of which received critical acclaim.

Although, The Knife is well-received by the media, The Knife do not receive the media well. The band did not begin playing live until after the release of their third album Silent Shout in 2006. Furthermore, the duo rarely makes themselves available to the media for interviews and appearances. Their uncooperative act includes wearing masks with bird beaks, similar to the over-rated and over-hyped “Robots,” what a piece of works that was last night…

In addition it to Karin’s work with The Knife, she fronts the side project Fever Ray. Prior to The Knife, she was a member of the band Honey Is Cool. In his spare time, Olof works under the monikers DJ Coolof and Oni Ayhun. The duo cites Sonic Youth, Kate Bush, Le Tigre, Siouxsie and The Banshees as musical influences.

Studio Albums:
