There's always the worry that when a band releases a new album, their sound will have drastically changed. Some fans become alienated, some roll with the punches.
Withstanding the needs of a band to explore all of the avenues that they can, it's sometimes understandable to branch out into another genre. However, the results are so often disappointing to fans that I've become apprehensive of BUYING new albums. I need a first listen to make sure the album is actually good.
Thus, I was cautious about this new B-52s album. I was worried that they might have teamed up with rap artists (like so many musicians) to reach the "modern audience." Or, since the hipsters say that Indie is out and Electronica is in, that they might have over-synthed themselves to fit a dance beat.
But the B-52s surprised me... and kept their 80s pop sound. Funplex could have just as easily been released in the late 80s and you wouldn't know the difference.
"Juliet of the Spirits" was an instant hit with me. I've had it on repeat for a few days now. It's catchy, pop-y, and the true kick-off for the album.
The first three tracks, "Pump," "Hot Corner," and "Ultraviolet" are midling. But the album peaks at "Juliet of the Spirits" and then keeps rolling forward.
"Funplex," the title track, is essentially the 2008 version of 1989's "Love Shack." I am particularly amused by the line "Panic at the Funplex" I hope it's a jab at the modern band Panic! At the Disco. But who knows. As far as title tracks go... it's right on track (pun moderately intended).
"Eyes Wide Open" was a second-listen favorite. The chorus being the main cause: "I don't wanna clash, I don't want to rehash the past, I just want release." Otherwise, the song errs on the edge of over techno-ing itself.
"Love in the Year 3000" is perhaps the most amusing track of the album with its talks about bootybots and erotobots. As they sing "you turn them on, they turn you on."
"Deviant Ingredient" and "Dancing Now" are two other tasty pop songs. Whereby, overall, I find the album to be a well-needed dose of upbeat tracks to sing along to. A refreshing album for the summer, despite its March release.
Ben Gibbard may get most of the spotlight from Death Cab for Cutie, but make no mistakes: Chris Walla is equally as talented.
Though it may be mildly sacreligious to say, I think I'm enjoying Chris Walla's solo effort more than Death Cab's recent release.
It's a little more catchy indie pop and little less "Ben is singing another ballad about sad lovers." Nevertheless, it's easy to see the sound that Chris brought to Death Cab, which, when added to Ben's sound, became the awesomeness of Death Cab.
"Sing Again" came to me on a free compilation CD from the Nuart Theatre here in L.A. and I thought to myself "Chris Walla is doing solo work too? Hmm... wonder how it sounds." Answer being: it sounds catchy. The song got stuck in my head almost instantly. I found myself humming it without even realizing. It hadn't really stuck out to me when I listened to the compilation. But apparently it made an impression anyway. And now I can't stop listening.
I tracked down the rest of the album, and it's equally as good.
Chris falls back on more of a traditional rock underscore which, when added to his sort of whispy vocals, comes out in beautiful songs.
Should be a big hit with Death Cab fans. Though, sadly, I haven't heard much of anything about the album from anyone else. I'll pass it on in hopes that my fellow Death Cab fans will share with a few other people.
Favorite tracks so far: Sing Again, Archer V. Light, St. Modesto

I've finally seen one of my favorite bands! And at the bargain price of $60! (:-S that's really not a bargain) Okay... so I wish the show had been WORTH that much.
I'm not sure who Death Cab hired to do their lighting, but it was AWFUL. They kept turning these blinding lights out onto the audience so that it was impossible to see the band. I felt like I was being interrogated. And I swear, officer, I didn't have anything to drink!
I would have blamed the venue, but the lighting was song-specific and they only did the blinding bit during the fast-paced sections. I don't know if anybody bothered to inform them... but Death Cab fans aren't really ravers.... i.e. blinding them is a BAD IDEA. The people sitting next to me actually left mid-way into the show because they were tired of having bright lights in their eyes.
To make matters worse, these two stoned chicks sitting behind us kept screaming in the middle of songs. "I love you, Ben Gibbard!" *loud piercing scream* I could MAYBE understand doing this if we had been close to the stage... but we were in the raised seating several feet back. So there was NO WAY the band would have heard them. Not to mention that it is RUDE to scream in the MIDDLE of a song. Thankfully, they stopped half-way into the show. If they had screamed during one more ballad I was about to turn around and say "listen, they don't hear you. But I can and you're ruining the show. Shut the f*** up"
And now that I have vented all of THAT.
DEATH CAB WAS AWESOME!!! Ben Gibbard sounds exactly the same live as he does recorded. Which, I have to say, is amazing. He can't stop bouncing when he's on stage either. Back and forth, the whole time. Like if he stopped, the song would die. I don't even know how it's possible to play guitar while you're doing that, but he did anyway.
And the drummer, Jason McGerr, is more noticeable and awesome when he plays live.
They didn't play We Looked Like Giants, and I was sad about that because it's my favorite Death Cab song, but such is life.
They also played a lot more of their older stuff than I expected them to. It was bothering some people. At one point this dude way behind us yelled "Play something we f***ing know!" Because the sad truth is, no one particularly KNOWS the older albums... Most people started catching on around Photo Album. But even at that, a lot of people were lost during those songs.
Violent by Stars [would be on the mix if I had uploaded it]
]
Chelsea made Shmexy; I made Schmexy. [the "c" makes it schmeepy]
I find it difficult to isolate songs that put me in a sexy mood. Because sometimes there's just a refrain or a series of chords that turns me into a puddle of goo... But the song itself isn't necessarily sexy. So, to the best of my ability, this is the mix of songs that ACTUALLY turn me on.
This mix started while I was suggesting songs to Chelsea for her Shmexy mix. I realized how many amusing songs that I had about/relating-to sex. [And there are plenty more... but these are some favorites.] So, please do enjoy.
Notes: Track 1 has this annoying 1 minute intro of low quality recordings of people saying "I am ____ and this is my heart." I am unsure why Stars included it ON the Snowman track as opposed to making it its own track. So, please disregard that crappyness. The rest of the song totally redeems it. Track 5 is by the Delgados, a band that you SHOULD know and probably don't. They sadly disbanded in 2005. But their work is awesome. So, you know, try to find more of them [or ask me for some]. Track 8 features Aimee Mann as a back-up vocalist. Track 9 is one of the sweetest songs ever. Track 12 is the Just Say Noel Aimee Mann-Michael Penn Christmas release. a.k.a. NOT the solo recording featured on Aimee's One More Drifter in the Snow. Track 13 was previously unreleased Elliott Smith, recently remastered and included on the New Moon two disc release. Track 14 rocks my socks and is, thus far, the only thing I sort of know how to play on guitar. Bonus tracks are: -an unreleased track by Poe [who is awesome]. Sadly, due to contract/production mumbo-jumbo, she may never release a third album :-( If you're into her, ask me for her unreleased stuff. I've got about 12 songs. -live recordings of Fiona Apple who, seriously, if you HAVEN'T seen perform live... I just pity you. And you should ask me to take you to Largo in order to experience her brilliance. The end.
Notes: - Track 2 is Aimee Mann's cover of Joni Mitchell's River. The song was featured on Aimee's Christmas 2005 EP [which is no longer available on iTunes]. - Track 3 was written by Aimee & her lead guitarist Paul Bryan [who will hopefully release an album of his own sometime soon]. The title of Aimee's Christmas album One More Drifter in the Snow comes from this song. - Track 4 was Kathleen Edwards' headlining song when she opened for Aimee @ a Seattle concert Cat and I attended. Kathleen was sick at the time and STILL gave an excellent performance. - Track 6 is a B-side of Aimee's Humpty Dumpty single. It is, without question, one of my favorite songs from her. Sorry that it didn't make it onto a major release. - Tracks 8-11 are a nice chunk of songs I grew up listening to. - Track 14 is a demo for Elliott Smith's From a Basement on a Hill which did not make it to the final release. [sad] - Track 20 is a B-side from Aimee's single That's Just What You Are. [we're not funny anymore] - Track 21 is Neko Case's cover of Tom Waits' Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis. An awesome song, to say the least. - Bonus Tracks - Azure Ray is awesome. I am also in eternal mourning for Elliott Smith... and Between the Bars is a fucking AMAZING, heart-wrenchingly sad song. I love it to pieces and so should you.
Woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed I thought of you and where you'd gone and let the world spin madly on
Everything that I said I'd do Like make the world brand new And take the time for you I just got lost and slept right through the dawn And the world spins madly on
I let the day go by I always say goodbye I watch the stars from my window sill The whole world is moving and I'm standing still
Woke up and wished that I was dead With an aching in my head I lay motionless in bed The night is here and the day is gone And the world spins madly on
I thought of you and where you'd gone And the world spins madly on.

Young Folks by Peter Bjorn and John (Feat. Victoria Bergsman)
If I told you things I did before Told you how I used to be Would you go along with someone like me If you knew my story word for word Had all of my history Would you go along with someone like me
I did before and had my share It didn't lead nowhere I would go along with someone like you It doesn't matter what you did Who you were hanging with We could stick around and see this night through
And we don't care about the young folks Talkin' bout the young style And we don't care about the old folks Talkin' 'bout the old style too And we don't care about our own faults Talkin' 'bout our own style All we care about is talking Talking only me and you
Usually when things has gone this far People tend to disappear Now it won't surprise me unless you do
I can tell there's something goin' on Hours seems to disappear Everyone is leaving I'm still with you
It doesn't matter what we do Where we are going to We can stick around and see this night through
And we don't care about the young folks Talkin' bout the young style And we don't care about the old folks Talkin' 'bout the old style too And we don't care about our own faults Talkin' 'bout our own style All we care about is talking Talking only me and you
And we don't care about the young folks Talkin' bout the young style And we don't care about the old folks Talkin' 'bout the old style too And we don't care about our own faults Talkin' 'bout our own style All we care about is talking Talking only me and you Talking only me and you
I sailed a wild, wild sea climbed up a tall, tall mountain I met a old, old man beneath a weeping willow tree He said now if you got some questions go and lay them at my feet but my time here is brief so you'll have to pick just three
And I said What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart and how can a man like me remain in the light and if life is really as short as they say then why is the night so long and then the sun went down and he sang for me this song
See I once was a young fool like you afraid to do the things that I knew I had to do So I played an escapade just like you I played an escapade just like you I sailed a wild, wild sea climbed up a tall, tall mountain I met an old, old man he sat beneath a sapling tree He said now if you got some questions go and lay them at my feet but my time here is brief so you'll have to pick just three
And I said What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart and how can a man like me remain in the light and if life is really as short as they say then why is the night so long and then the sun went down and he played for me this song
The Trucks are about to be huge on the indie scene, my friends. I totally called this one early.
-----
I wish I could be a DJ. Cat mentioned it as an idea the other day... and man... that would be pretty freaking sweet. I'd totally be spinning some of the best indie music.
Anyway, I've meant to post in here more often. Not that anyone particularly reads it... but for my records :-)
I'm going to try like... a top 10 for last week.

Bless your sweet mistakes, That crumble you down to your knees. That brought you to this place Changing you by degrees... When change was just what you needed... What you needed...
So if you live your life in a three piece suit, In a cocktail dress, or combat boots You pick your path and you walk your truth And the world will come round to you.
It's a long strange ride, I can't tell you why But there's a place in your pocket where peace can abide You pull it out, it's a compass, a guide And it will put a little soul on you.
Bless your sweet mistakes, That crumble you down to your knees. That brought you to this place Changing you by degrees... When change was just what you needed... What you needed...
And in this wild blue world There is a soul weavin' fine feelin' girl But you've got to walk in paradise to find a pearl If you only believe, You'll get what you need... what you needed...
Conquer your fear and you'll master the game, Life is always and never the same. Use a little faith to light the flame , And I know you'll connect to you.
Bless your sweet mistakes, That crumble you down to your knees. That brought you to this place Changing you by degrees... When change was just what you needed... What you needed...
Pop the cork, a champagne glass Raise to the future, drink to the past Thank the Lord for the friends he cast, In the play he wrote for you.

If we look at the main performers Jon Brion has collaborated with [Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple], it's almost striking that each one of them exhibits the same unusual ability to perform live almost BETTER than recorded.
Brion's live performances at Largo are an entire experience; a true performance, as opposed to a mere musical recital. He's on drums, piano, bass, guitar... he's everywhere. And he's just one man...
And all of this is to say nothing of his ability as an audiophile.
Request a song, he knows it. And, more particularly, he can play it with a style, any style. You want Billie Holiday done Nirvana style? He's on it. Vice versa? He'll do that too. And the result will just... blow you away.
I went to an Aimee Mann concert last summer, and someone requested that she play a song from one of her early 90s albums. And she stood there for about a second until she was like "gosh... I don't know if I remember the chords." I was kind of let down. You don't know your own song and you asked for requests? If Brion had been there, he would have known.
Aimee did remember the chords after a little while, and produced a decent enough version, but it was kind of disheartening. And, having more recently seen Jon perform her songs live off the top of his head -- and not even songs that he had collaborated with her on -- in retrospect, I'm more in AWE of him, than I am disappointed in Aimee.
But that's enough praise for now. He wouldn't accept much of it anyway. Genius comes with extreme self-loathing and fear of inadequacy, it seems.

This is sort of like... a public transportation mix. Essentially, I was just grouping together some of my favorite "rock" songs from my iTunes library. But, I sort of envisioned someone walking down the street/riding the subway listening to it. Dunno... essentially, it starts out upbeat and then winds down into a 4 track Brion section [if you include his collaboration on Fiona's song] and closes with Elliott's haunting piano tune.
