On the TV, a building in flames
It was "Towering Inferno" by Irwin Allen
OJ Simpson led the cast in a man-against-nature fight for survival
It was awesome!
OK. Recently on this very list, Chris Khoury disses Killdozer....a

their tribute to Irwin Allen. Within days, OJ's name lives once again
in infamy across the country. Coincidence...or something else? YOU
DECIDE.

ADV: Multi-purpose white bread advertisement that is too long...
As the incredibly hot southern Indiana days dripped by, we thought
each day of the indie-list and its faithful readers, but alas, the
computer lives in the hottest room in the house. So it wasn't until
the heat broke that we were able to get back to business.
[Consepquently, some of the announcements seem a bit quaint. They
won;t look so in the future! -es]
I'm sure Eric & I will end up in some yet-to-be-created Indie Hall of
Lameness for writing about the gigs we've missed. So it will surprise
no one that we were prevented from seeing Guided By Voices in
Columbus, Ohio, by my friend's wedding rehearsal, which dragged
surprisingly late into the night. Did anyone see this
four-or-five-band extravaganza?
We did, however, catch a band called Glorium at someone's house in
Columbus last Friday night. We stood on the porch (and sweated)
while the band played inside (and sweated). The music was a bit too
crunchy & third-generation SYish for my tastes, but it was all
competent and enthusiastic. I wouldn't skip 'em if they were
someone's opening act. They have a 7", "Phantom Wire Transmissions"
on Undone Records, PO Box 4012, Austin TX 78765, that includes a
collage-style comic book.
The evening crawled to a stop when the Glorium guys and some various
other guests all sat down & obediently listened to a lecture on racism
by some local activists. We tried to think global, but retreated to
an air-conditioned bar instead.
In other news: Thanks to the Magnetic Fields, Walt Records, and Pony's
new EP, Eric & i can share the same stereo again without having to
have Labradford vs. Heavenly standoffs. I've no idea how old the two
MF CDs we bought are ["Holiday" on Feel Good All Over, is from last
year, and "Charm of the Highway Strip" is dated '94 -es] so the
post-new-wave, drony synth & guitar pop is probably old news. Still,
both are hours of fun... I Like Walt!, the 7" sampler from Walt
Records, features The Mountain Goats, Franklin Bruno, and Butterglory,
to name but three of my favorites. Since I got badly burned by a
Silver Jews 7", I had sorta feared the 'lo-fi' label, but this record
is another story. "The Irony Engine" is one of my new hits of the
week... I will probably tire of some of the dingy textures of Pony's
'Cosmovalidator' after a while, but for now it's still intriguing.
Watch out, he's a candy striper!
Quick takes: "I, Swinger" is OK, but on the whole, the new lounge chic
that Combustible Edison is propagating has, to me, all the trademarks
of some trendy item of clothing that will seem to me a bad mistake in
a year or two...I loved Sleepyhead's songs on the "Chinny Chin Chin"
sampler, but twice now I haven't been able to make it through the
sadly generic-sounding "Starduster." Sorry, but this number has been
changed. Please make a note of it...Palace (formerly Palace Bros.)
sound better than ever to me, what with goofy outer-space noises
balancing out the rural affectations. Look for an Allman Bros. cover
soon, I'll bet.

Flying Saucer Attack; Grifters, Pavement; Mountain Goats, et al.
the overview:
flying saucer attack eponymous **
grifters _crappin' you negative_ **1/2
pavement _crooked rain, crooked rain_ *
scarce _red ep_ **1/2
spent "keeping secrets" b/w "corvette summer", "postage due" *1/2
mountain goats (various stuff, see below) *1/2
the breakdown:
fsa (this isn't really new but it's new to me...) :
yummy! ride-esque psychedelia with my bloody valentine like
atmospherics. will do weird things to your mind. nice and
refreshing.
--------------
grifters :
this is a damn fine album! combines the best elements of their two
previous lps, i.e., there are haunting dark songs (a la _so happy
together_) and then there's the down and dirty loud stuff (a la _one
sock missing_.) they must have been listening to lots of guided by
voices for this one.
a few more listens and i may well say this is their best so far.
interesting production (or lack thereof <g>) too.
--------------
pavement :
well, after being duly unimpressed with _slanted and enchanted_, esp.
with all the hype surrounding them, i was sort of reluctant to pick
this up. however i guess i ended up swallowing the hooks in "cut
your hair." i like this album more than sae but that's not saying
much; they're still way over-rated imnsho.
there are some very nice moments on this album, though, like "silent
kit" and "elevate me later" (excellent tunes), "stop breathin'" (esp.
the second half, after the singing stops. ironically, the chorus
sounds like the band whom pavement could give a fuck about in "range
life".) ..."newark wilder", "filmore jive" (except the solos), and
"gold soundz" (my favorite track on this disc.)
there are also some not-so-nice moments like the way "5-4=unity"
recalls any generic phish song (blech!), "hit the plane down," the way
"cut your hair" isn't really all that different from "sweet home
alabama" and the boring rock-band politics in "range life" (cheap
shots: i mean, why even waste one's time attacking such an easy target
as stone temple pilots?).
all in all, a good album but by no means great, and i still don't
understand all the hype.
(hope this review doesn't get me booted off the list :)
---------------
scarce :
Six-song ep on convenient cd format for weasels like me... i guess this
is an anthology of sorts, chronicling their three 7"s to date. this
is pop, albeit gritty at times, served to perfection. excellent
songwriting and cool, straightforward production (toned down from
their live sound.) definitely go out of your way to pick this up.
---------------
spent :
after drooling over their song "view from a staircase" (***)
appearing on the now sounds comp., i managed to pick up a recent 7" by
them. it doesn't immediately grab me like "vfas" but it's still quite
good guitar pop. i'd like to see them live sometime.
pick up the now sounds comp. first as it is testimony to the
potential greatness of this band, plus, all the other tracks are
amazing too.
does anyone know more about this band? --- please email me if feeling
kind as my interest is piqued.
---------------
mountain goats :
well, i kept on hearing good things about them (him?) and i like the
other shrimper stuff i've heard like nothing painted blue and
refrigerator... so i broke down and ordered some tapes: _the hound
chronicles_, _hot garden stomp_ and their (his?) most recent release
_taking the dative_.
my first instinct was to say: "this sucks; if i want to hear folk,
there's much better stuff than this..."
however, i resisted my first instinct and listened to these tapes a
few more times. something weird happened and i started to get into
it. there's this inexplicable endearing quality that has grabbed me
and won't let go. i have a feeling that this music might be better
suited to a small-scale live performance, though, and probably hasn't
translated as well as it deserves on captured medium.
my favorite stuff, oddly enough, are the interesting keyboard tunes.
nice!
---------------
notable live stuff :
difference engine, atomic fireball, dambuilders, scarce @ lupo's,
providence, ri
i liked difference engine a lot. trippy stuff. guitar drone.
atomic fireball from tokyo, japan, f-ing rock! they are appearing june
24 w/ dambuilders @ the rat in boston. yabba dabba doo! (i'm sorry,
that just spilled out, i didn't mean it! honest!)
dambuilders - yay! \
> they keep getting better, and better, and better...
scarce - yay! /

take care,

Big Star SF Review
Big Star / "Shatners" (Counting Crows) / Gigolo Aunts
The Fillmore, San Francisco, June 5, 1994, 8pm
----------------------------------------------
People kept saying to me, "What's this about a Big Star
reunion?" And I was like, "It's not a Big Star reunion."
Then this record company came along and said, "I think we
could slip some money your way for a record of this Big
Star reunion," and I said, "Call it whatever you want! And
what songs did you want me to play?"
-- Alex Chilton to Gina Arnold in the San Francisco Chronicle
I'd read that quote before the show, and really, I get a major
kick out of the AC I'm-a-whore ethos, and I laughed aloud at that
one, but still, ya know, this was billed as *BIG STAR* which,
whether he likes it or not, is gonna be the guy's flippin' LEGACY.
So hey, I'm naive, sentimental and a fool (parted with $17.50),
but I was hoping for more than the faithful and professional run-
through of Big Star standards supplied by AC and Jody Stephens
and the two Posies guys, Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow (subbing
for the 15-years-daid Chris Bell, and the couldn't-get-the-day-
off-from-his-aerospace-gig Andy Hummel).
They played mostly tunes from the first two albums (perhaps at
the record company's behest), and two or three from Sister Lovers
(nothing too dark, puleez, tho' "Big Black Car" got snuck in
there). The only real excitement came from trying to identify the
fairly inspired covers they'd selected: T Rex's "Baby Strange," a
truly out-there and obscure tune from the '60s called, maybe,
"Patty Doll" that played on the evening's recurring subtheme of
child molestation, plus the kinda-sorta-predictable Kinks' "Til
the End of the Day" from the latest incarnation of the amazing,
ever-expanding Sister Lovers, and their likewise sorta
predictable selection of Todd Rundgren's S-L-U-T, pointedly
dedicated by Jon Auer to some lucky gal, which appears on the
Columbia, Mo. live re-union album.
But, really, this was for the most part just BigStarMania, an
incredible simulation... which was fine fine fine and fun fun fun
for most of the folks there, hep kidZ singin along with
"September Gurls" and "Feel." I'm not sure what I was expecting:
probably exactly what I got; and not sure what I was hoping for:
some sorta risk taking or innovation or other sign of life --
only evidence of that came from the two Posies, who clearly had
their hearts in it, but who wouldn't or couldn't push AC very
far. I've run into this sensation before -- there was a Buzzcocks
reunion a couple of years back that left most folks on hand all
hopped up and giddy, but kinda depressed me cause they didn't
manage to bring anything more than professional competence to
material that was at that point 15 years old.
Honest and true, I don't think there's any real difference
between reunions like Big Star's or the Buzzcocks' and, say, a
Band or an Eagles reunion. If ya love the Eagles, chances are
you'll be thrilled to see em up there in their withery old flesh,
maybe augmented or pumped up by an admiring youngster or two,
runnin thru faithful reproductions of all them familiar toonz. I
love Big Star, and therefore, of course, wouldn't have missed
it... But still...
Two other bands shared the bill with Big Star: Gigolo Aunts and
"Shatners."
Gigolo Aunts were up first and started promptly. They were
pretty groovin, actually: young, earnest, tight, and clearly
totally thrilled to be up on stage at the Fillmore opening for
Big Star. There's an element of Redd Kross at work there, tho'
maybe minus the yucks, so it didn't surprise me to see one of the
McDonald brothers on the scene (or to note on their CD, which I
picked up used based strictly on their performance, that they
thank Redd Kross (and the Posies)).
Up next were "Shatners: Like Punk Never Happened," which is how
San Francisco's Counting Crows bill themselves when the urge
strikes them to assemble 13 or 14 musicians and have a few
brewskis and play repeated covers of Bruce Springsteen's "Sandy"
and "Spirit in the Night" from The Boss's first two albums. Or
maybe that's what they do as the Crows too, I honestly don't
know. They sure did suck, tho. I kept sorta hoping they'd at
least break into "Rosalita" or "Blinded by the Light," but no
such luck. It took 'em a long, long, LONG time to call it a
night, but finally Adam Duritz gave up and announced, "Sorry, I
don't think I'm gonna come," and the house lights came back up.

clutch and lozenge at the black cat in dc.
this'll be my first submission to the indie list. if this stuff is
old hat, then enjoy the lovely prose...
i just got back from seeing lozenge and clutch. actually, i got back
from the show, and blew off some adrenaline by lifting heavy things.
very helpful.
anyway, back to the show. after a good dinner and a bunch of beers
down around U st. in DC, we headed to the black cat in plenty of time
to have more beer and get great seats at the benches along one of the
walls. lozenge wasn't what i was expecting. having never heard
anything by 'em, or anything about 'em for that matter, i was
expecting a regular musical type of band. wrong. they're a quirky
four-piece. two percussionists, a bassist (these three made a great
rhythm section), and an accordion(ist?)/vocalist. lots of noise.
great beats. screaming lyrics. i enjoyed 'em quite a bit, actually.
being a drummer, i thought they had some really pleasing rhythms. the
percussionists were playing everything from what looked like a
standard 14" ludwig snare to a few floor toms, some cymbals, some
steel pipes, and a pair of 55 gallon drums. nice noises.
so after a while they finished, and black sabbath started blaring out
of the club's system. lights freaked out. the stage converted. the
crowd converged. clutch arrived.
lemme start by saying they were about 30 times better than i had
expected. more energy than you can shake a cadillac at. they played
lots of old stuff, lots off of transnational_speedway_league..., and
some newer tunes. the crowd was insane. it was the first time i'd
seen people go completely crazy at the black cat. usually, everyone
stands around and appreciates the music, which i happen to like doing.
tonight, though, everyone was lettin' it all out, and good thing, too,
'cause clutch was demanding it.
there wasn't very much banter between songs at all. rather straight
forward, actually. one bone-crushing tune after another. i wish i
could remember more of the set list, but some of the tunes they did
were: rats, binge and purge, a shogun named marcus, living in the
great shining path of monster trucks, uuuh, and a whole lot more.
whatever.
so the show's over now, i'm tired, and there's a blood stain on my
shirt. i'm pretty sure it's my blood, too... that's enough for the
moment. if clutch comes your way, don't miss 'em for your life.

Singles, eps, and the Grifters cd
Now that my life has reached an apex of busy-ness, I thought it would
be a good idea to take a few minutes to write up my latest favorite
records. I never know what I'm buying, and half the time there's no
date on anything so a lot of what follows could be old news to many of
you. But on the chance that it's not:
Guided by Voices: If We Wait b/w Jennie Mae Leffel: Red Chair
(Anyway Records, 118 E. Patterson Avenue, Columbus OH 43202)
This split -7" features a heavily Beatlesque full-lengther from GBV
that starts out as ultrapop and then disintegrates into a delightful
guitar meltdown at the end. And as if that weren't enough, Ms.
Leffel contributes the contrasting "Red Chair" on side b, another
fully realized popsong more in the achingly pretty vein of the genre.
Harmonies beef up Leffel's slightly tentative vocal but the song is a
winner.
Guided by Voices: Clown Prince of the Menthol Trailer (Domino records)
Seven songs on one 45 RPM slab of basic black 7" vinyl, and even
though they're really short and tend to trail off, what a great little
collection. I especially like the one minute raveup "Matter Eater
Lad" about a guy who ate a factory, and furniture, and some other
stuff I think, with the killer chorus: "O he's bad, the matter eater
lad" or something like that. Love it. "Johnny Appleseed" is good
too. Hell, they're all good.
Pavement: Garrulous (Goodtimes records)
This is the four song 2nd Peel Session 7" from 12/15/92 with the photo
caption "Gary didn't show up." Someone wrote it up recently as "sounds
like a bunch of songs they wrote that day" or words to that effect.
It's a mess, no doubt, but I've come to the realization that there are
a couple of really good songs on here: the instrumental "Ed Aims," a
retro guitar/breathing exercise which should, but doesn't, segue into
"Drunks with Guns," a truly touching song about someone's dead sister
(I think) and her killer, Ed Aims (I think). Hard to tell, but when
Malkmus barks out "I did the crime, but I'm doing the time, Chief
Investigator," I don't know, it's something special. So buy it, and
then tape those two songs back to back, and you'll have a
mini-theme-ep, like me. (Just a suggestion).
Tsunami: Be Like That b/w Newspaper (Simple Machines)
Everyone knows what Tsunami sounds like so I won't go on about this.
Suffice to say, I don't always love them, but I like both these songs
quite a bit. And the packaging! it's so beautiful, with the
adulterated flags of the world cover against that gorgeous scarlet
background, and the cherry red vinyl. So, so nice.
Archers of Loaf: The Result After the Loaf's Revenge (Merge)
This 7" could be old - I just happened to run across it. But since
they are newly famous (and even got a Pick Hit from Christgau!), I'll
just mention for fans that both these songs are great, as good as
anything on _Icky Mettle_. I especially like "Ethel Merman" on side
B. Very worthwhile.
Grifters: _Crappin' You Negative_ (Shangri-la records)
I've been a fan of the Grifters since _One Sock Missing_, a record
that grew on me relentlessly over a long time. Their latest cd has a
more homogeneous sound than Sock, thanks in part to the fact that
they recorded the rhythm tracks in a parking garage (I think I have
this right) in order to get "natural reverb." In any event, there is a
noticeably murky quality to much of this record, a sense of the
underworld seething below, and some really eerie vocals. "Junkie
Blood," which was released previously on the "Holmes" single, is one
of the loneliest songs I've heard. Also gripping are "Bronze Cast"
and "Get Outa That Spaceship (and fight like a man)" which have actual
pop hooks. Like other Grifters efforts, the rest of the songs are
less defined with a fragmented sense of song structure graced by
moments of brilliance where the guitar lines actually rise up and
declare themselves. If you like the band already, you'll probably
like this. Otherwise, I'd start with _One Sock Missing_.
Sorry for the length of this post. I've been saving myself for just
this opportunity to spill. Meanwhile, is it just me, or does the NE
seem to be over-represented on this list?
