The show went well, but was a little stressful at the beginning. The studio was locked and I had to go get the key. Not fun. Luckily, I made it back to the studio just in time to start the show.
It was my birthday. I'm officially 21 and I even had a glass of wine (it wasn't very tasty -- it was like drinking some sort of cleaning chemical, maybe just not the right wine for me?).

Wow, and I'm back on the air. It was a hectic night, getting used to the new studio and all and doing a million things at once. No serious technical difficulties, but I did play a couple of the wrong songs, even though it worked out pretty well in general. My timing was very good and I was able to improvise competently. I'm excited to hear all the new CDs I've burned and of course play them next week (which just so happens to be my birthday!).
I'm currently listening to the new Jaguar Love album. I blogged previously about this band, albeit briefly, and my disappointment. This album is seeming to be pretty hit-or-miss for me. I'm really enjoying some songs, but others are just awful or awfully boring. It's no avant-garde hardcore punk, more like an amped up indie rock band meets retro-rock. But not punky at all. That troubles me.
I played an awful lot of Crystal Castles tonight, but all were good songs and one was by request, which I was so glad to honor. I really loved that Boris track that was sandwiched by the CC songs. It was beautiful.

Review: Ellen Allien - Sool
My first impression of this album is that it is unlike her earlier work. The melodies are minimal, comprised more of specific sounds and "blip" and "bleep" noises rather than smooth melodic passages. Rhythmically, it seems uncomplicated, relying on very basic beats, often midtempo or even slow.
I've always thought of Ellen Allien's music as listener-oriented techno and not just specifically for dancing. Sool makes this style even more obvious, as few tracks feel really dancable. Pop elements are few on this album; it is truly electronic music. Vocals are scant, chorus are nearly completely gone. Instead, it is subtle and challenging, demanding the listener's attention and making repeat listens absolutely necessary to fully comprehend what is going on in these songs. It is not immediate or urgent.
Sool makes good use of ambience and atmosphere, branching more into micro-house and IDM territory and leaving behind the clubby techno of songs like "The Brain Is Lost" (from Thrills), "Sehnsucht" (from Berlinette) and certainly "Rotary" (from the collaboration with Apparat, Orchestra Of Bubbles). The dance music isn't totally lost, as heard in "Its" and "MM," but it has changed from what it was on earlier albums. The melodies have lost fluidity and become quiet, in contrast to the more legato and loud tracks from Thrills.
The dance floor is not the place for an album like Sool, because Ellen Allien has branched out, daring to slow things down and make more complex music art rather than fodder for body moving (not to insult dance music, but this album just isn't that). Headphones would be more appropriate for this album, for its minimal, micro-house/IDM leanings are for audience craving interesting electronic music.

Update
Summer's been nice so far. No stress whatsoever. I thought I would update this blog more, but I'm a lazy blogger. I'm working on some music reviews to put up here from some of the new releases (Matmos, Boris, Ellen Allien), but it's taking some time to do them. I actually want them to be somewhat well-written and not just "Yah! I heart this rekkid!! Matmos iz tha besst eva!" or something else superidiotic.
I'm excited about an upcoming concert -- Boris, Torche, Nachtmystium. I rarely go to shows since the last ones I went to had really bad sound and I would have rather stayed at home and listened to the records instead. But I just want to experience a really heavy band live and totally mess up my ears (I already have near-constant ringing, but I'm prepared for worse!). I wish Sunn O))) or Earth were coming to my town, but Boris will have to suffice. And Nachtmystium? Wow, originally it was going to be Wolves In The Throne Room, but now it's Nachtmystium. Awesome, I'm excited. They got a new album out soon or something.
That's all for now, I'm working on reviews.

Portishead - Third Review
Hooray for content!
===
"More of the same," is what I think of when listening to Portishead's Third. There are no huge stylistic departures from their first two albums; the genre remains the same. Yet, that is not a strike against them. Portishead were an inventive group when they released their first album, and Third continues on the same path in the so-called "trip-hop" genre. Though there aren't any big genre-related surprises on the album, the craftsmanshift and quality are astounding. It doesn't seem like they were M.I.A. for 10 years; they sound accomplished, refined, and fresh.
While the genre hasn't really changed, there are perhaps some new elements and updates to the Portishead sound. Some flirtation with industrial, as in the crunchy beat of "Machine Gun," or the cowbell in "Magic Doors," or the bluegrass-y "Deep Water" are new ground for the group. These new elements work well with the sort of patchwork, sampling style of Portishead and help to make each song sound unique. On the whole, the Third is remarkably consistent, despite each song being its own beast.
There are two songs on this album that reach over the 6 minute mark, which is certainly a stretch for a group making pop music. However, the songs ("We Carry On" and "Small") need to be that long and benefit from their length. The development, from the opening synth riff to the miscellaneous percussive touches to the bearly-noticable hook make the song remarkable and a real highlight. On their second album, 1997's Portishead, the songs seemed a bit overlong, dragging on without enough direction, but now the songs are tighter and more refined, where not a second is wasted.
Perhaps the only downside to the album is the moodiness. The band is just as depressing as they always were, the lyrics are typically bleak. Third isn't an album you listen to on your birthday or when you just won the lottery (unless you bought the album with your lottery money and want to mope about alienation from being rich). With the album being as consistent as it is, listening to it from beginning to end is only advisable when you're in the mood for something bleak.
Last Word: This album weirdly reminds me of Godflesh.
Recommended Songs: "Nylon Smile," "Plastic," "We Carry On"
Rating: 9/10

Wow, the last show, huh? It went by so quickly. I'm gonna miss doing it over the summer. I'll have so much music and no forum for promoting it... and good stuff in the studio that no one else seems to play won't get played, cause I'll be gone...unless I listen over the summer and make request, which I probably will.
Things went well during the show, no explosions or technical difficulties. I've really learned a lot about DJing over the course of the semester and I think I've improved a lot in my skills.
I really liked the playlist for tonight, a good mix of stuff. So many favorites and great new music that I'll keep listening to this summer. I really gotta check out that Crystal Castles album. That band is finally winning me over (I didn't like them at first, it sounded too video-game-y).
It was good to play some Can again. Can rules.
And that Chinese Folk Song thing from Gong Linna RULED. It's so pretty and interesting. I think it was the first Chinese artist on the show. Hopefully, I'll learn some more about Chinese music over the summer, cause now I'm really interested.
I think I'll try to blog over the summer, maybe once a week, like the show and all. I can't wait to pick up the new Portishead album tomorrow. I think I will write a review of it, provided it inspires me to verbosity.
I wonder what band I'll do for next semester's "of the week" thing. I'll have to contemplate it for a while.
Good night all.

I know that Streets song had some FCC violations... some of the words were censored and others were not censored, very odd. And the headphones in the studio are messed up, one side not working, dang. Surprisingly, the technology cooperated really well, though.
Wow, next week is the last show of the semester, I'm kind of sad. On the one hand, no more shows until next semester, but, however, I'll have a lot of time to listen to new music over the summer and I don't have to plan shows, so less responsibility. But I'm still sad :( <--see the sadness! Emoticons!

Surprisingly, the technology cooperated really well, though.
Wow, next week is the last show of the semester, I'm kind of sad. On the one hand, no more shows until next semester, but, however, I'll have a lot of time to listen to new music over the summer and I don't have to plan shows, so less responsibility. But I'm still sad :( <--see the sadness! Emoticons!
