ok, don't have much time right now but here's a run down of Multiple Personality Discography.
tune in every second wednesday from 3:30pm to 4:30pm CKCU 93.1 fm to catch Richard Monette and Myself for some a sonic exploration of our elitist music selection.
for all you people who have made the internet your new home, you can listen through the ckcu website:
http://www.ckcufm.com/listenlive.html Last week I brough in..
Pavement's slanted and enchanted
- Fame Throwa
- Purfume V
Sonic youth's Hold that Tiger (live in chicago '87)
- Intro
- Schizophrenia
MGB's loser anthems
- man from harold wood
(don't worry, I played a chill out droning soundscape title that created completely on a mac of some kind)
Richard played.... more good music! if a bit long...
everyone loves 13 minute songs though.
Next week (the 14th), I'll be bringing in a cd by the band Zea; a dutch duo from holland (isn't that redundant).
http://www.zea.dds.nl/index.html I saw these guys May 6th at Saw Gallery as part of the 3 day Under the Radar Festival. They played with Exhaust, Akisakila, and Japanther.
I was going to describe these guys, but many dutch music review sources seem to have done a much better job.
Album: Today I forgot to Complain (2003 Transformed Dreams)
The album zigs and zags all over the fucking map, to an extent where the average listener absolutely cannot keep up.
This album covers all the usual musical bases, while tapping into the new, throwing out attitude and riffs all over, like a kid refusing to stay within the lines of a coloring book. Even the slowest piece. "He's Passed", ends with a prank, obnoxious cell phone call that any musician will relate to. Why the fuck not? "Kiss Kiss Revolution", another beautiful cut-and-paste piece, keeps angsty punk rock right where it should be...in the fucking basement!!!
Zea puts together a very fine piece of modern musical artwork. With total disregard for the average listener, Zea makes electropunk music that embodies the ideal essence of the genre.
[100% Unnatural]
And since I've been digging this album so much, it will suffice as my entire addition to this fine show. Shouldn't be a problem though since the fifteen songs sound like their being played by 10 different bands.
I'd play some more bands from any of those fine 3 nights, but I've been having some trouble finding their albums around town or even from their record labels.
peace!
