Chocolate Genius Inc.'s Swansongs

Chocolate Genius Inc.'s Swansongs Will Now Be Released September 14th.

Chocolate Genius Inc. ((A.K.A. Marc Anthony Thompson) describes the lyrical content of his music as "Gracefully embracing decay is the constant theme. Letting go. The curse of religion. The passion is the poison. That old dilemma—worship and penance; sparkle and fade; bass and trouble."

The theme definitely flows through his latest album Swansongs, the third and final chapter in a trilogy. (The trilogy consists of 1998's Black Music, 2001's Godmusic and Black Yankee Rock released in 2004).

There are common threads throughout the trilogy creating a cosmic tapestry, and Thompson expands, ""I'm sitting on the bed that my mother would die in right before we released the second offering, Godmusic," explains Thompson. "She sings vocals on the first song of that record ("Perfidia"). They were caught randomly when I was a kid, as she walked into my bedroom while I was learning how to record. Decades later, I am in Los Angeles trying to find her missing widower. On a piano that hasn't been tuned since the Watts Riots, I record 'Like a Nurse' and write four songs in that very same bedroom. A few days later, I find my father crashed into a pole on La Brea and Venice. It is the same intersection that I sang about in one of the first songs I’d ever written, 'Pinks & Greens'."

Thompson completed the Swan Songs track "Sit & Spin" the day his father died. He uses phone recordings of his father as well as the voice of his mother on the record. He explains, "I used the recordings of my parents on both releases because they are priceless artifacts to me," explains Thompson, "and I wanted to lock them in the time capsule that each of these documents are. My children's children will be able to download a little piece of their history. An indulgent, guilty conceit and perhaps nothing more - but I love the recording of my mom singing and the humor and spirit of my folks shines on both offerings."

Thompson expresses reluctance about the finality of declaring this the last recording of the cycle, "Reluctantly, the book of songs is done. I say reluctantly because I’ll soon have to stare at a blank page again, and greet whatever is next. That’s always the tricky part—by the time music is released, the process usually inspires an entirely new workflow, or has you headed to the road, sofa, beach, airport or bar. At least that’s been my syndrome. Though I write constantly, I release things sporadically at best, and sometimes as quietly as a cough. As Richard Ford says, 'When a tree falls in the forest, who cares but the monkeys?'"

1. She Smiles
2. Enough For You
3. Like A Nurse
4. Kiss Me

Exene Cervenka Free Film Download

Download the movie here.

Direct from the press release:

(LOS ANGELES, CA – July 20, 2010) – Early Punk goes Cowboy! Almost 25 years after it was filmed, the Queen of L.A. Punk, X singer Exene Cervenka, and music video director Modi Frank, known for her groundbreaking music videos such as “Mountain Song” by Jane’s Addiction, present their previously unreleased cowboy satire “Bad Day” featuring legendary X front man John Doe, Grammy Award winner Dave Alvin, Oscar-winning writer Michael Blake, and with a comedic performance by Academy Award winner, Kevin Costner.

“Bad Day” boasts an inspired cast of legendary Los Angeles musicians, writers and actors at a “secret” shooting location in Chatsworth, California. This short silent film, photographed and co-written by X’s Exene and directed by award-winning filmmaker Modi Frank, is a 20-minute tribute to the early days of the one-reel Westerns. The film blends Exene’s love for black & white films, with old fashioned title cards, western sets, and Modi's vision of capturing local talent having a very unusal day in a small pioneer town, with an elegant, poignant soundtrack by Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Dave Alvin along with X and Knitters drummer D. J. Bonebrake. Some might ask, why film a black & white, silent western? “For fun,” exclaims the punk queen, “It was a blast to write, envision and then film. We have talented friends, all up for a project, and we froze a moment in history. It was one of the best times Modi and I have ever had.”

Now available for the first time as a digital download, at www.baddaymovie.com, viewers will be able to “pay” whatever they choose for the download in order to view “Bad Day”. A portion of the proceeds from “Bad Day” are going to Gulf Coast aid organizations that help both the environment and the people affected. In regards to their co-star Kevin Costner, who spent millions of dollars over the last decade to develop centrifuge clean-up machinery for just these types of oil spills, both women say, “We are both so proud of Kevin and grateful for all he’s doing to help in the Gulf.”

Although filmed back in 1986, Exene and Modi have both kept this work in their hearts and minds for over two decades, “We've talked about releasing “Bad Day” over the years, but now with the internet we have control over distribution with digital downloads. We want the world to see it and enjoy.” Modi’s award-winning comedy short films have been seen at film festivals around the world and her music videos, documentaries and various digital projects have garnered many awards, but she is best known for her directing music videos for Henry Rollins, Jane’s Addiction, L7 and The Smashing Pumpkins.

Also appearing in “Bad Day” are artist-photographer Peter Haskell, Los Angeles poet Doug Knott, and Chris (Chris D) Desjardins, lead singer and founder of the seminal Los Angeles punk/ band The Flesh Eaters. The role of “Little Mae” is played by Jenny Aust, daughter of rock critic Chris Morris. Chanteuse Julie Christensen from the band Stone Cupid, known for her collaborations with Leonard Cohen, Together, Exene and Modi’s friendship changed their lives forever. Modi recalls that, “in a weird way, that’s what the core of film is about, how one moment in time can change someone life’s forever.”

Grandchildren Debut LP

Grandchildren are set to unleash their debut album Everlasting upon the world September 28 on Green Owl.

Band founder Aleks Martray explains the origins of the bands sound, “I was restless from a really young age. Growing up in flux between different places I gravitated towards more intangible things like stories, melodies, movies, and dreams, and so early on music became a way of making a home for myself.”

Martray further explains the specifics of the debut album, “The songs evolved through the recording process,” explains Martray, “they were so layered that when I went to play them live, so much had to be sampled. That’s when I realized this wasn’t a solo project. It’s music for a small orchestra.”

Guitarist Adam Kat says the band has worked the 10 songs from the debut into a well oiled live set, he says, “It looks spontaneous to people, but everything’s carefully choreographed on our end.” Martray continues, “And now that everything’s down to a science, it becomes a form of art in and of itself. As full and layered as the album is, it rests on the backbone of those early bedroom recordings. Kind of like with a car, where you keep replacing parts until the whole thing is new. By the end you can’t even remember what came from where. The process hides within the sound. We want people to feel the music first, and ask questions later.”

Tracklisting :

1 - Cold Warrior
2 - Winterlude
3 - Heartbreaker
4 - Saturn Returns
5 - Toss & Turn
6 - Everlasting
7 - OK I'm Waiting
8 - Little Big Ones
9 - Anthill
10 - When You're Not Lookin

A brief history:
About The Vaselines:
Formed in Glasgow in 1987, The Vaselines released two singles and one album, Dum Dum, on the 53rd & 3rd label. Splitting up in 1989 (in the same week their album was released), they might have faded into obscurity but for the intervention of a certain band from Seattle. Nirvana covered three Vaselines songs, helping to fuel a growing after-the-fact appreciation of their seedy, two-and-a-half chord, garage pop manifesto.

Founding members Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee remained musically active throughout the intervening years: the former with Captain America aka Eugenius and finally as a solo artist; McKee with Painkillers and Suckle.

Eugene and Frances collaborated intermittently in the intervening years. They toured jointly and played a few of the old songs together in the wake of their respective solo project releases in 2006. But an acclaimed, unannounced appearance at a fundraiser in Glasgow's Mono for Malawi Orphan Support in 2008 was the real catalyst for their latest, exciting bout of creativity.

Ensuing tours of America (including a stand-out appearance at Sub Pop’s 20th anniversary festival, SP20), Brazil, Japan and some UK festival dates saw The Vaselines “re-connect” with wildly appreciative audiences who had blinked and missed them the first time round. Buoyed by the success of their live return, the two punk rock chums decided to go back into the studio.

Press release Bio:
Bio: The new record began with the same surprise turn that started Corin Tucker's career back in 1991, ended Sleater-Kinney's 11-year year run in 2006 and inspired the punk-feminist rocker to redefine herself as a stay-at-home mom.



It was early 2009, and Tucker was performing at a benefit show in her hometown of Portland, Ore., airing out a couple of new songs. Another benefit -- and another pair of unheard tunes -- followed a few weeks later. The reaction from friends, fans and perfect strangers was unanimous.



"Everyone was saying, 'Oh, it'd be cool if you made a record'," Tucker recalls. "So I thought, Yeah! I should!"



A year and change later "1,000 Years" reveals the one-time Riot Grrrl as she is nearly 20 years after she began her career: as a full-grown Riot Woman. Old enough to trace the complexities of adult life, love and family, but still young enough to know better.



Cue the wrenching rhythms and hard-angle melodies, the slashing guitars and wildly passionate vocals. Only now the hard edges come nestled in lush weaves of acoustic guitars, keyboards, interlocking percussion, even cellos and violins.



Which places "1,000 Years" deep into Tucker's creative headwaters -- another addition to her 20-year catalogue of restless songs for restless spirits.



"That's the artistic, itchy personality," Tucker says. "You're constantly trying to do something different."



Tucker's own restless existence came into focus in idyllic Eugene, Ore., an emerald-hued college town whose population trends toward students, academics, hippies and loggers. Raised by a well-known research psychologist and his medical technician wife, young Corin grew up harmonizing along to her dad’s folk guitar stylings. Dad's music always came laced with politics -- the elder Tucker found his greatest inspiration in the Pete Seeger songbook, and followed the modern folk tradition through Dylan and up to R.E.M. "They were like total children of the '60s," Corin says of her parents.



And their ideals found a new home in Corin, at least when it came to her sense of the connection between music, protest and the pursuit of social justice. So while she didn’t quite take the time to learn guitar in her father’s house, Corin's departure for Evergreen College in Olympia, Wash. kick-started her musical ambitions. Something was going on, and she knew exactly what it was.



"There was a music scene up there, this whole riot grrrl revolution, and I wanted to be a part of it."



Every town in the Pacific Northwest had its own punk bands, clubs and scenes. But in the Olympia of the early '90s the most exciting bands were by, for and about women. Bikini Kill, Team Dresch, dozens of others. Some were gay, some were straight, some were in college and some were working class. Some could really play and some really couldn’t (yet), but nothing could overwhelm what they had in common: the burden of being a woman in a male-dominated society. The music that emerged – fast, jagged, full of fire – gave full voice to a community of women whose feminist theory was loud enough to rattle the windows and shake the ceilling.



Riveted by the sound, Tucker became a regular at riot grrrl shows. She met and hung out with the women and knew that in their ass-kicking communitarianism she’d found precisely what she’d been looking for. "We were like, I can do it! Watch me!," Tucker says. "We were all these big talkers who were full of bravado." By the end of the spring Tucker told her friends that she was in the process of forming her own all-woman band, Heavens to Betsy. "I came up with the name and stickers and the whole thing," she says. The only thing Tucker had put off doing was writing any songs and inviting someone else to join the group. Nevertheless, when a college friend, Michelle Noel, called to invite Heavens to Betsy to zip back to Olympia to play the womens' night of the International Pop underground festival being held there, she didn’t blink. "I said okay, and started writing songs."



Tucker recruited Tracy Sawyer to play the drums and bass, while she projected her own powerful vocals and rudimentary-but-growing guitar chops into songs that took on the world with a slashing intensity. "You tell me to calm down," Tucker snarled in the anguished love song, "Me and Her." What's your fucking problem?"



Heavens To Betsy had no problems whatsoever. Accepted immediately in the top rank of Olympia's riot grrrl bands, Tucker and Sawyer rode their distinctively raw songs (and Tucker's rocket-powered vocals) into, and then beyond, a litany of new musical horizons. A 7-inch single came first, then a full-length album. Critics swooned, fans flocked to shows in far-flung cities. Barriers trembled, then collapsed. Still, no band lasts forever, and by 1994 – also the year Tucker graduated from Evergreen – Heavens to Betsy had run its course.



But Tucker’s music career was just getting started. She had already started jamming with another Olympia singer/guitarist, just for fun. And once Tucker and Carrie Brownstein played a few experimental shows they both knew they had found a uniquely powerful partnership. "We could just tell," she recalls. "It just blossomed into a whole new band."



Named for a nondescript road near Olympia, the duo at the core of Sleater-Kinney picked up a drummer, Lora McFarlane, in Australia (where they’d gone to hang out with some far-flung friends), came home and hit the punk club circuit in the Pacific Northwest. A self-titled album came in 1995, followed a year later by "Call the Doctor." The band was neck deep in the young band trenches now, fighting the usual battles for airtime, stage time, an audience, a decent soundcheck. McFarlane left the band, replaced by a chain of drummers who led eventually to S-K's permanent stick-woman, Janet Weiss.



A third release, "Dig Me Out," came in 1997, making waves big enough to project Sleater-Kinney onto a national stage. Sales got bigger, tours went farther. "The Hot Rock" hit the Billboard charts in 1999, and 2000's "All Hands on the Bad One" charted even higher. The band played to riotous crowds in Europe and the United Kingdom, and the United States' most influential critics (Greil Marcus, Robert Christgau) took notice. In 2001 Marcus capped a Time magazine feature by declaring Sleater-Kinney the best rock band in America.



"We went through a lot of crappy situations and stereotypes, and knocked them down together," Tucker says. "We became a force to be reckoned with."



More tours, more fans, more songs, more albums and an ever-expanding collection of fans. Sleater-Kinney made videos for MTV, then popped up on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O’Brien" and CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman." Was this really the right place for a punk-feminist outfit from the mossy basements of Olympia, Wash.? Tucker was never quite sure.



"We all had a moment of pause when we started appearing on TV shows, it’s so easy to get overwhelmed by all that. Making music that is really truthful is what’s really important to me. I do my thing and if people are into it, great. But I’m not going to conform to anyone else’s idea as to who I should be."



Meanwhile, real life continued, everyone grew up. Tucker settled down with filmmaker Lance Bangs, and in 2000 the couple traveled to Iceland to be married. Their son, Marshall, was born in 2001, and became a fixture on Sleater-Kinney tours. The personal bonds between Tucker, Brownstein and Weiss –- all of whom had relocated to Portland, Ore. – remained strong, but the musical relationships began to feel more strained. Sessions for 2005's "The Woods" stretched for months, and as the band prepared for another season of touring in 2006 they agreed to give each other a rest for a little while. A summer-long swing across the country concluded with a pair of final hometown shows at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom.



"I had some other things I wanted to do, Janet and Carrie had things they wanted to do. We all wanted to take some time away from the band. But we always called it a hiatus, even when everyone else called it a break-up." It’s talk like this that makes the Sleater-Kinney world’s ears prick up and take notice. Does this mean the once-and-future best band in America (pace Marcus) is going to reunite? Tucker: "I don't know. But I feel like – we’re getting there!"



Maybe because these last few years have been so rewarding. She and Lance produced a daughter, Glory!, in 2008. She spent a little time designing and running a website for a business her dad had started, but mostly cared for her young family. She hung out in the playground, got to know her neighbors, pushed people on swings, caught them at the bottom of the slide. She saw Lance take off for weeks-long shoots, and remained happy that she wasn’t the one heading off for another months-long tour.



And yet the music in her life, and between her ears, remained.



Experiences became feelings, which worked their way into Tucker’s imagination. Melodies emerged. Chords, words, ideas. A few new songs, which she couldn’t resist airing out at those benefits in early 2009. And we now know where that led: To an explosion of even more new songs -- acid-etched portraits of the grown-up world, with all of its hopes, fears and frustrations intact.



Not every song is entirely autobiographical – just try to guess which of the songs were written as potential contributions to the "Twilight: New Moon" film. "They didn't work for the movie, but I kept them anyway." No need to change the lyrics, either: "The themes work exactly. The monsters, beasts and demons, all those things working on you. I think there’s a lot of personal angst in that story."



The feelings reverberate from song to song. In the emotional chill that hangs over "1,000 Years," in the tense long-distance love letters at the heart of "Half A World Away" and "It's Always Summer." Yes, Lance travels a lot for his work. But, Tucker hastens to add, "I just want to say how much I love my husband. . . there are moments when I’m raising two kids when he’s gone and I’m just trying cope. But like in "It's Always Summer," the real message is, I’m waiting for you and it's going to be okay in the end." The happy ending is more difficult to imagine for the unemployed parents at the heart of "Thrift Store Coats," inspired by the real agonistes of some recession-rocked neighbors. “ So many dads in our community were losing their jobs, suddenly there was this terrible sinking feeling. It's been brutal in Oregon.”



So the musician picks up her guitar and lets her fingers search for a glimmer of light. This time it didn’t have to come with so many hard edges. Sadness, frustration, even outrage could come in a variety of sounds and textures. "I wanted to be completely open in terms of instrumentation. I thought it’d be cool to do some acoustic songs, to create something quiet that could be powerful at the same time."



Fortunately, her central partners in the project – producer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Seth Lorinczi, percussionist Sara Lund and vocalist Julianna Bright – were perfectly equipped for this challenge. Lorinczi was especially instrumental in helping Tucker develop a quieter kind of emotional intensity, projecting her songs into elegant arrangements that added keyboards, acoustic guitars and some elegantly-arranged strings to the musical vocabulary. "I'm fortunate to work with him," she says. "He brought so many amazing ideas to the songs, it was an entirely new foray."



Still, some things remain the same. Consider the piercing clarity of Tucker's voice, the sudden eruption of a snarly guitar, the perpetual struggle for spiritual balance, even in the midst of economic catastrophe and the life-shaking travails of domestic bliss.


"It's a challenge to have a musical career and to be a mom, but it’s awkward for every working mom, so the story continues," Tucker says. "I can’t do a crazy 3-month tour now. We’re definitely playing shows, but it’s more like a week here, a week there. I don’t have the mentality that I’m going to change the world. I’ve enjoyed the movements I’ve been a part of – I think I did something for them, too. But now I’m more moderate in my career goals. I want to enjoy my life. I don’t have to turn it over to the machine."

There are several special appearances on the record including Nile Rodgers, Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, Groove Armada, Scissor Sisters, Marcus Miller, Flea, ex Stone Roses Mani (Primal Scream) and Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead).
