Top 5: I’m Depressed About the World songs

by hardrockchick [about 11 months, 19 days ago.]

The world is pretty fucked up right now. Today felt like the tipping point where all hell began to break loose. Yesterday was Blue Monday…perhaps today is Black Tuesday. We’re in year 5 of a war, oil costs $100 a barrel, the stock market is taking a nose dive, health care sucks, mortgages suck, entertainers are dying from pills instead of heroin, our president is retarded….let’s commiserate.

Black Flag- Depression

Tears For Fears- Mad World

Nirvana- Downer

NIN- Survivalism

Radiohead- Lucky

I have no idea if I’m pronouncing it correctly, but who cares. It’s the drummer from The Warlocks. Xu Xu Fang is dreamy psych rock from LA.

This band, Ceremony, apparently uses the same effects designer as A Place to Bury Strangers. Ah, the ways I find new music…

the cool kids @ the independent, 1/17/08

by hardrockchick [about 11 months, 22 days ago.]

The Cool Kids are the current it boys of the indie hip hop circuit, and rightfully so. Their stripped down, throwback beats and rhymes manage to be both nostalgic and fresh, a nice change of pace for the current corporate hip hop climate.

It looks like 1991 outside The Independent, as the neon coated people barely make it through Will Call in time for the main act to hit the stage. It’s a packed room full of people ready to get down, with a haze of smoke hanging over their heads. The threesome takes the stage at about 11. The performance was high energy, and in a way, endearing. It’s my second time to see these guys, and they’re still riding the wave of about a 5 month long heavy buzz- and you can tell they are loving every minute up it. Perhaps they really are cool kids.

spindrift, the vandelles @ 12 galaxies, 1/16/08

by hardrockchick [about 11 months, 24 days ago.]

I’ll begin by saying that I think I started off my shows this year with an appropriate choice. There’s just something about seeing psychedelic rock in a small venue on a Wednesday night. On a evening with a clear ramping up from the amateur to the professional, all performers possessed the spirit of psychedelic rock in their own little manifestations.

I caught most of LSD and the Search for God’s set, which would best be described as an attempt at psych rock in it’s purest form. Unfortunately, it felt really uninspired, perhaps with the exception of the distortion guitarist. The vocals of the male and female singers didn’t mesh well for me…but I probably would have liked it more if it were one or the other.
