An oldie but a goodie about rock critic jargon
Like Clichés on Acid
A lush soundscape of Rock Critic Jargon I will never use again.
By Rob Harvilla
January 5, 2005
Let us now discuss the labyrinthine, in-your-face, introspective,
esoteric, head-bobbing, fist-pumping, booty-shaking, genre-defying
mélange of the Rock Critic Cliché milieu. (Riffage. Let us also
discuss riffage.)
Next time you spot one of these doofuses at a party (riffling through
the host's CD collection, pilfering all the Cheetos, sulking
despondently in a darkened corner), ask him/her/me to describe a band,
a song, a genre. Verbally. In actual, human, face-to-face
conversation. Then prepare for an onslaught of meaningless nonsense.
Like any other, this profession suffers from its own unique lexicon of
ridiculous, impenetrable jargon. I am certainly not immune to this
disease, nor can I suggest a foolproof cure. But perhaps I can
diagnose specific viruses and prescribe medicine to -- lousy
metaphors. (Gotta knock it off with the lousy metaphors, too.)
As we behold 2005's shimmering, hypnotic, melodic dawn, I pledge to
you: Every bolded word in this column, I will never use again after
this week.
Angular
Frequently describes guitars that sound, well, pointy. Sharp,
unpleasant, of or like Fugazi. As opposed to "circular," which is a
whole other can of corn.
Can of Corn
Sorry.
Coruscating
Really, really angular.
Listenable
"I didn't like it."
Unlistenable
"I didn't listen to it."
Seminal
"I sold it back for $5 without listening to it, but then everyone else
wrote about it, so I had to buy it back for $12 and pretend I liked
it."
Rewards repeated listens
"Though I haven't yet listened to it, I assume it will be seminal."
Minimalist
Describes any song that does not employ a full string orchestra. "Hall
& Oates' 'I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)' is a seminal, coruscating
slab of minimalist pop."
Slab
Indeed.
Danceable
"I couldn't dance competently if my pants were on fire."
Four on the Floor
Intended to mean "Inspires raucous dancing." Actually means "Induces vomiting."
Nervous Funk
Attempted dance music that inadvertently induces vomiting.
Beatlesque
(Fires rocket launcher at head.)
Radio-Ready
"This is the only song I remember."
Anthemic
Really, really radio-ready.
Jangly
Fate intertwined with R.E.M. Adios.
Drops, e.g. "Tone Loc's new album drops Jan. 25"
Knock it off; you're white.
Spits, as opposed to "raps" or "speaks"
White white white.
Wheels of steel, as opposed to "turntables"
White white white white white.
Lush
Boring.
Soundscapes
Pretentious.
Swirling
Conjures lush soundscapes of boring pretentiousness.
Cerebral
Yes, sir: Brian Eno is smarter than you.
Cinematic
What -- like Meatballs?
Eclectic
"From polka to bluegrass to baile funk to death metal! It's a floor
wax and a dessert topping!"
Jazzy
Sounds nothing whatsoever like jazz.
Crunk
White white white white white white white white.
_____-esque/ish
"Dude, I gotta finish this: Aqua Teen Hunger Force starts in twenty minutes."
Like _____ on acid
"Dude, that giant bag of fries totally just said 'Crunk.'"
_____ Meets _____ with a Tinge of ____
"Dude, this show is like Bugs Bunny on acid."
Wanton Hyphen Overuse
An ordinarily calm writer friend of mine flies into a rage whenever
this technique is employed. Specifically, he refers to it as
"I-can't-think-of
-what-to-write-so-it's-time-to-just-say-'fuck-it'-and-
hyphenate-the-shit -out-of-a-whole-mess-of-words-
that-might-come-close- to-an-accurate -description-
of-something-that-I -might-be-able-to-work-out-myself-if-I-
read-real-books-instead-of-Spin-while-I- go-poo-poo." He'll be fine,
honest.
Wanton
Not yet. I still really like wanton.
_______ Yet ________
Increasingly common. Angry Hyphen Guy particularly chafes at the
"Retro Yet Futuristic" tag: "What -- like Barbarella?"
Wanton Capitalization Overuse
Such as, oh, say, Angry Hyphen Guy. I'm still enamored of this one,
too. Let's save it for '06.
METAFILTER THREAD:
"New Dylan," "next Bob Dylan," "this generation's Bob Dylan" and any
variations thereof. Beyond being hackneyed, it's often the kiss of
death to any artist it's misapplied to.
long-awaited second album
I've seen the phrase 'angular guitars' used literally dozens of times
to describe any band that sounds anything remotely like Polvo.
"Strokes-esque"
"Eponymous second album"
"...brings to mind Phil Spector's legendary 'Wall of Sound' technique..."
"...prowled the stage like a caged animal."
"muscular riffs"
"...evades [or succumbs to] the dreaded 'sophomore slump'..."
"Jagger in his youthful, pouting prime"
"...the peaceful tenor of the late sixties officially disappated as
Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death by the Angels..."
-- "... sounds like Band X and Band Y in a blender."
-- "... sounds like Band X on acid [or speed, or oxycontin, whatever]."
-- "... sounds like Band X in a time warp to [whenever]"
-- "... sounds like Band X with a chainsaw"
not similes, but also nerve-grating:
-- "lush soundscape"
-- "latest outing" or "latest effort" in referring to a new album
-- mentioning how your cat reacted to hearing it for the first time
-- "songsmith"
Oh, also: comparing any group with women musicians (especially
sisters) to the Shaggs. That's right; we're all enthusiastic
14-year-olds who haven't mastered barre chords yet!
"the newest british invasion"
"retro-(anything)" or "(anything)revival"
haunting melodies...obtuse guitars...-core...
Band A's awesome new release, "..." combines the postrock postpunk
industrial stylings of obscure Band B you never heard of with the emo
stylings of obscure Band C, producing a sound like Jackson Browne
going down on Joey Ramone. In one of the most anticipated albums of
the year, Band A's mysterious front man, Surly Haircut, takes his art
to a new level, rawly exploring his relationship with his mother and
crack in howling, tortured lyrics like "perfectly obvious
metaphor/something something semaphore." When I was a kid, I wanted to
be Lester Bangs. Did I mention that yet? Also, I got high with the
band. I hate them, and myself.
"(inset band name here) have (finally) grown up"
anything about saving rock and roll
"best band since..."
"this could be the best album of the year!!!"
or my favorite
"I don't want to lower myself to lame cliches, but (insert lame cliche)"
Also
"balls out rock"
"In the end, (insert album x) suffers largely from the hype---there's
no way this album could be as good as it was supposed to be."
" (band x) is challenging expectations and listeners by stretching
their musical boundaries and defying people to come along for the ride
through close listening."
"(album X) is an essential listen for anyone interested in where music
might take them."
"A record filled with such emotional scope and range that it's
tailor-made to showcase (band x's) world weary roar."
" (Album X) is nothing short of remarkable."
"(band x) trumps any pretension with melody and sheer fervor."
"(album x) is a tour de force"
"(band x's) jaw-dropping debut..."
"This is finally the album/act that will bring techno into the mainstream!"
Kind of a post-cliche - the NME once said Idlewild were the sound of
'a flight of stairs falling down a flight of stairs'
'sonic cathedrals....' - every bloody time!
and : '-esque' - grrrrrr
It's a guitar. Not a bloody axe.
Is it too soon to try to step on "screamo?"
I feel a need to reach for my gun every time I read either "seminal"
or "high-octane." Or anything with "-core" suffixed to it.
Also: that phase in the mid-90s when rock writers thought it was
clever to try to string together seemingly disparate music descriptors
like "slamgrass," "thrashgrass,"... other examples are elusive at the
moment, but oh god that shit makes me wretch.
I once read a review of Daft Punk's Discovery that described the song
"Digital Love" "like the incidental love theme music from Magnum
P.I.".
I think that's possibly the only time I've ever heard any reference to
the music on Magnum P.I.
I did not write any of the above, nor do Inecessarly agree to uphold it's standards
, but I was just writing a list of these sort of phrases and ideas when an editor sent me this hilarious story. I had to share it. "Krautrock" really chaps my hide too - by the way.

Jack White and Alicia Keys to Record Bond Theme
There have been rumors (from Amy Winehouse to Bjork ) circulating with regards to whom would record the next Bond theme. Then Alicia Keys put out a press release stating she wanted to work with Jack White. Well apparently unlike me - when Alicia Keys expresses her artistic intentions publicly - she gets what she wants. Billboard has just confirmed that Jack White has written the music for and will play the drums on the new Bond theme “Another Way To Die” for which Keys will provide vocals. The White produced song is for the 22nd Bond film entitled Quantum of Solace. This marks the first duet in Bond theme history. The soundtrack is slated for release October 28, and the film hits theaters November 7.

Neon Angels (A film about The Runaways)
A film based upon the all girl seventies rock and roll band The Runaways entitled Neon Angels is currently in production and slated for a 2009 release. This is the debut feature length film for photographer / music video director Floria Sigismondi who has previously worked with artists such as David Bowie, The White Stripes, Sigur Ros, and Marilyn Manson. She has written the screenplay and is directing the film.
A truly kitschy walk down memory lane with bad grrl juvies The Runaways:http://sendshack.com/download/31da1m1
The Runaways - Dead End Justice
The Runaways inspired girls everywhere - most notably The Donnas - to pick up an instrument ( and /or wear yeast infection inducing spandex). They went through bass players like Spinal Tap did drummers.
Members through the years are as follows:
Cherie Currie - vocals (Acted in several films including the classic Foxes with Jodie Foster. She also sang on a ridiculous 7” single with Redd Kross’s McDonald brothers).
Joan Jett - guitar and vocals
Lita Ford - guitar and vocals
Sandy West - drums and vocals (R.I.P. 1959-2006)
Michael Steele - bass and vocals (early member of a Runaways trio along with Joan Jett and Sandy West. She later joined the Bangles).
Peggy Foster - bass
Jackie Fox - bass
Vicki Blue - bass (A.K.A. Victory Tischler-Blue) She wrote and directed Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways which received lukewarm reviews.
Laurie McAllister - bass

Shilling Shoes With Rock and Roll
I was sickened when I saw limited edition Converse shoes for Joy Division and Kurt Cobain. No I am not kidding.
Anyway - here ia a current music video tied in to marketing shoes:
MY DRIVE THRU -
FEATURING PHARRELL WILLIAMS, N.E.R.D., SANTOGOLD,
AND JULIAN CASABLANCAS
Artists Brought Together as Part of Converse Century Celebration
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. (July 10, 2008) - Converse, the creator of iconic shoes including the Chuck Taylor® All Star®, Jack Purcell® and One Star®, announced today the release of the music video for My Drive Thru. The video will be streamed at converse.com beginning today at noon EST.
My Drive Thru was released in June and made available as a free download for music fans globally at converse.com. Since release, the site has had thousands of daily downloads and the track has received praise from a wide range of media sources. Rolling Stone's current issue features a four star review - and The Times of London referred to the collaboration as "a three-headed Frankenstein's monster of coolness."
The track was created as part of Converse's Century celebration of the brand's deep roots in music and inspiring creativity over the last 100 years. The Chuck Taylor shoe has been worn by musical icons ranging from Sid Vicious to current artists like Common and M.I.A
The video was created by Converse with partners including Anomaly, Cornerstone and the directing and animation talents of Psyop. All three organizations are based in New York.

Brian Viglione (Dresden Dolls)
A Dresden Dolls Mailing List message from Brian:
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN!
Ladies and Gents, Brian here, writing to you from Munich, Germany at the start of the WORLD/INFERNO tour!!
We spent the month of June rehearsing our asses off in a sweltering, dusty, warehouse space on 57th St. in glorious Manhattan, NYC and I am now bracing myself for the impending whirlwind of shows that lies ahead. World/Inferno is on a 5 week blitzkrieg through Europe then coming back to begin US shows! U.S. TOUR DATES ARE BEING BOOKED NOW, SO GET READY...
We will be doing a mix of headlining shows and also the theater show we've been working on entitled, "Addicted To Bad Ideas: Peter Lorre's 20th Century".
In September, the band will be doing performances in Holland, New Jersey, and a short mid-western tour. October sees the band doing shows in the southeast US, and up through the northeast for an epic Hallowmas show on October 31st, then bombing around performing, spreading love and spilling wine, into November.
We've got some great new items available on the World/Inferno merch page including CDs ($12), 7" Vinyl ($3), and also we've got new patches in the works as well and the (dun dun dun!) Cycling Cap! Please check the brand new merch page for updates.
We are making plans to get out all over the US between the fall and spring.

Beck on His New Release Modern Guilt
What is Modern Guilt...
...to Beck?
"out of all the appropriate situations to find oneself, the least being the hurtling of loose bricks, the parties involved first disclosed their coordinates and proffered cards which happened to be in their pockets. from an embassy of restraint and a superimposed background they assembled at the time of next convenience and weighed their options. drag a filing cabinet across a subdivision or sit out the current situation till a more reliable picture of the situation materialized. neither seemed all that enticing, so the course was set, the workstation laminated and some biofeedback sorted out for use in further research. after the frequency which would shatter a display case was discovered they launched themselves at a barricade of empty cardboard boxes. all these games were inconsequential at first but then later provided some back story for the urge to be a human battering ram. while so many people with disposable incomes sauntered by on the boulevard near the workstation a new kind of light was grafted onto the premises. "how many songs can we fit in an inflatable raft?" "I didn't know there was going to be a flood?" "There isn't, but that rainbow is stalking me somehow..." and so, 120 nights of no sleep and seeing the dawn try not make an impression, there was some hollow hewn thing there that seemed a little basic. "do you have anywhere to put this?" "just leave it where it is." I shook hands with danger mouse and said I'd see him again, maybe at the farmhouse or some scenic location where we could breathe a little."
Thanks for clearing that up for us Beck.

All Hail The Pandoras
The classic 80s all female garage band The Pandoras were a psyched out dynamo with a singer who could growl like no other. Their cult classic album Stop Pretending was remastered and reissued by Rhino in 2004. I snatched it up greedily - just in case my vinyl ever wore (more) thin. The complete cd contains 10 bonus tracks and remastered versions of the original LP.
The divas in this band threw male garage rock swagger and love ‘em and leave ‘em right back at the bands they emulated and the fans who loved them. Grrl power (pre riot grrl I might add) through enjoyment of sex and rocknroll was where it was at - especially on tracks like “The Way It’s Gonna Be” and “You Don’t Satisfy.” (Cool) girls wanted to be them and guys wanted to fuck them. Well, maybe girls wanted to fuck them too? Anyway, I was thinking of them when I got my pink paisley strat.
The Pandoras never get the credit they deserved for being a strong all female band in the ‘80s. A subsequent foray into cheesy metal (complete with slogans such as "If it ain't rock hard - it ain't worth a fuck") can't tarnish the image they created with this classic release. Hopefully you’ll like what you hear....
Here are 13 tracks from the 22 track 2004 reissue of Stop Pretending:http://sendshack.com/download/3fchl9l

That Darned Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls)
As the time for the release of Amanda Palmer's solo release comes closer, she continues to play live shows as well ans has begun a series of videos. According to Amanda "these aren't just normal music videos, they are also threaded-together bits of one long film that works as a whole if viewed from start to finish. as i release these on youtube, the streaming audio for the songs will also be cross-posted on myspace.com/whokilledamandapalmer."

Jack White Waxes Poetic About His Home Town (Detroit)
Below is the poem as it appeared in The Detroit Free Press.
I have driven slow, three miles an hour or so, through Highland Park, Heidelberg, and the Cass Corridor. I've hopped on the Michigan, and transferred to the Woodward, and heard the good word blaring from an a.m. radio. I love the worn-through tracks of trolley trains breaking through their concrete vaults, As I ride the Fort Street or the Baker, just making my way home.
I sneak through an iron gate, and fish rock bass out of the strait, watching the mail boat with its tugboat gait, hauling words I'll never know. The water letter carrier, bringing prose to lonely sailors, treading the big lakes with their trailers, floats in blue green chopping waters, above long-lost sunken failures, awaiting exhumation iron whalers, holding gold we'll never know.
I've slid on Belle Isle, and rowed inside of it for miles. Seeing white deer running alongside While I glide, in a canoe. I've walked down Caniff holding a glass Atlas root beer bottle in my hands And I've entered closets of coney islands early in the morning too. I've taken malt from Stroh's and Sanders, felt the black powder of abandoned embers, And smelled the sawdust from wood cut to rehabilitate the fallen edifice. I've walked to the rhythm of mariachis, down junctions and back alleys, Breathing fresh-baked fumes of culture nurtured of the Latin and the Middle East. I've fallen down on public ice, and skated in my own delight, and slid again on metal crutches into trafficked avenues.

NPR : “I think that Dressy Bessy is a far more efficient pleasure-machine than Coldplay. If Chris Martin's voice is earnest and thoughtful, Tammy Ealom's tone is every bit as knowledgable about the vagaries of love and lost and so much more varied and witty in its expression." – Ken Tucker
Rolling Stone : “Denver's Dressy Bessy are devo-tees of the same kind of retropop sound as Apples in Stereo and the New Pornographers, a hook-y, Sixties-derived jangle filtered through a knowing indie-rock sensibility.” - Christian Hoard
Daytrotter : “A Dressy Bessy song isn’t one without three very important components. First, it must actively enable or invite rump shaking, Ealom is about many more things – fashion, a good smoke and exclamation points. Second, it must rely on straight-up, fuck ‘em all moxie that you get studying the bad guys in old-time Westerns or watching Kate Hepburn own her leading men. Thirdly, they absolutely must give off a glow of older climes. It must feel transported from the cream-colored pages of old Life magazines or Saturday Evening Posts. She’s of a vintage blueprint and when she brings guitarist John Hill (also of The Apples In Stereo), drummer Craig Gilbert and bassist Rob Greene into the folds, they make a sound that’s aged and cured, but sweaty so you know it’s alive.” - Sean Moeller

Spin - “In a time when subgenres can seem as numerous as artists, it's a relief to find straightforwardly sincere, modern-rock songwriting done well.”
All Music Guide - "...Hymn and Her features the same sun-baked slices of indie pop that made Mentor Tormentor and Treble & Tremble such appetizing fare."
Billboard - "Earlimart... issues another set of dreamy, rainy-day tunes with 'Hymn and Her.'"
LA Times - 3 1/2 Stars "Releasing another full-length effort less than a year later is unusual, but the accelerated pace might account for the infusion of freshness that makes "Hymn and Her" so arresting."
LA Times - "Espinoza and Murray (who headline at Spaceland on July 18) are clearly charting a course of their own now, heading for a place of saturated emotion and sanctified spirit."
Blurt - "Full of subtle hooks and ear-catching surprises..."
Metromix - "...one of the band’s most consistently enjoyable efforts to date."
New York Sun - "Earlimart creates airy, soaring songs that feel as light and fleeting as a dream."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - "This is a tapestry of organic and melodic materials that leave a long-lasting, sweet aftertaste."
Deli Magazine LA - “Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray's revolving vocals evoke telepathic conversations between two distanced lovers, backed by an ethereal mix of piano and guitar-driven rock. Their songs have a signature blend of tension and release, with honest stripped down verses followed by lofty daydream choruses, just waiting to tell your summer love story.”
Digg.com - ”The increasingly prolific Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray, a.k.a. Hymn and Her, a.k.a. Earlimart, have returned just one year after the lush folk and pop of Mentor Tormentor to deliver the even more accomplished, assuredly staggering Hymn and Her.

Peaches and Tone Loc "Wild Thing" Remix on Delicious Vinyl
Here is a live video:
And here is some information:
"Wild Thing" (PEACHES RMX) will be available via iTunes on November 6th, and on sale in limited edition vinyl format on November 20. It's sure to be a must-have in the record bags of DJs and an essential download for groovers worldwide. In addition to the main version, the 12" will include an instrumental version, acapella, radio edit, and a special beat box version courtesy of French sound specialist TEZ.
"Wild Thing" (PEACHES RMX) debuted at a special party hosted by Peaches herself at the revered Tape Club in Berlin this September. And this release is just the beginning of something very special. Over the next twelve months, Delicious Vinyl will release a full slate of the label's classic records re-imagined by artists including Hot Chip, Spank Rock, Diplo, Bonde Do Role, A-Trak, Ed Banger's Mr. Flash & DJ Medhi onto an unsuspecting public. Of course, that public still fondly remembers Delicious Vinyl artists whose tunes will be featured, including Young MC, The Pharcyde, Masta Ace, The Brand New Heavies, Def Jef, Born Jamericans, and Fatlip. Each release will be available on limited edition vinyl, launched with a special DV Twenty Years Fresh party in select cities worldwide. (Stay tuned for dates and locations to be announced soon.) The tracks will be part of a triple vinyl full-length album slated for release in 2008.
The brainchild of Los Angeles DJs Matt Dike and Michael Ross, Delicious Vinyl is a crucial label in the evolution of hip-hop. Late-'80s chart-topping hits from Tone-Loc ("Wild Thing") and Young MC ("Bust A Move") took innovative underground grooves to the masses. This year, Delicious Vinyl kicks off its 20th anniversary celebration with no sign of slowing down. Along with The Brand New Heavies triumphant tour in support of their new album Get Used To It, dancehall player Mr. Vegas had one of the summer's biggest singles, "Hot Wuk." The label's newest releases are JayDeelicious: The Delicious Vinyl Years (celebrating the pioneering productions of James "Jay Dee" Yancey) and Delicious Vinyl: Twenty Years Fresh mixtape by Bobby Evans. So if it's rump-shaking, trunk-rattling, floor-filling, chart-busting tunes you want, Delicious Vinyl delivers.
