2009: The Year of the Headphone

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 19:23:00 +0000

It's that time of year again, and here's my last mix of the Aughts. As you can guess from the name, the theme of this year's mix is songs that sound great in a nice pair of headphones.

Some of the songs are also, uh, kinda long. Sorry about that, but this just happened to be a year with lots of really good long songs. They're worth listening to, I promise.

Genres are, as always, all over the map. I'd encourage you to give each song a shot, though, because some of the songs tagged as metal are actually the soft songs off the records, and I'd hate for people to miss out on songs like Pamplemousse and Wretched World.

Here are all the songs nicely tagged with album art and a playlist file:

2009 - The Year of the Headphone

1. Converge - Axe to Fall

4. White Rabbits - Percussion Gun

Alcatraz: A Photo Diary

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 21:46:00 +0000

Last weekend, we took a trip to Alcatraz on the 75th anniversary of its opening as a federal prison. If you live in San Francisco or ever come to visit, I highly recommend the tour; you walk the grounds at your own pace with headphones and listen to a well-narrated guide program.

The program has interviews with guards and prisoners about each area of the prison, and it's really amazing to hear them discuss the very place you're standing; being inside a solitary confinement cell and hearing an ex-con talk about how he used to take a button of his shirt, throw it randomly around the cell and then crawl around in the pitch blackness searching for it to amuse himself is humbling to say the least.

Anyway, enough talking. I didn't plan to document my trip when we set out, but my phone (an iPhone 3G S) has a really reasonable camera and can record decent videos too, so I ended up putting it to use. I uploaded my favorites to Picasa and included captions for each picture/video, either recounting interesting facts or making pop culture jokes. I recommend viewing it in fullscreen and making sure to click "View HQ video" for the best experience.

Enjoy!

Alcatraz's 75th Anniversary

MP3 of the Moment

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Sat, 02 May 2009 18:13:00 +0000

Artist: Me
Album: Uhhh...
Song: Saturday Noon
Genre: Piano

So this is pretty much just a geek-out about how cool GarageBand is. I was messing around on my laptop today and fired up GarageBand just to play with different instruments and make weird noises. I accidentally plinked out a few notes that sounded nice together, so I started dialing in a piano tone and adding overdrive and a little reverb. Well, a lot of reverb actually. I played around for maybe ten minutes and then thought, "What the hell, might as well record a little something.

So that's how I ended up with this song. I recorded some improvisational fumbling and got it all on the first take. The time from opening up GarageBand with no intention of writing anything to having a finished song was literally one hour. This song won't set the world on fire, but I'm just completely impressed that I could make something so professional-sounding on my laptop without even trying.

And this was done using nothing but a laptop keyboard and a pair of headphones. In an hour flat. So, so cool...

Download it if you'd like a little something to fall asleep to at night...

2008: -//-/\-\//--

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:20:00 +0000

Another year, another mix. 2008 was a crazy year for me. I try to keep this from being a personal emo blog, but suffice it to say I had a lot of firsts, a lot of highs and a lot of lows in 2008. I look back at it as one of the most dynamic years of my life, and the memories of the worst parts are already fading away while the highlights remain.

I mention that because my mix is, as usual, a frenetic...mix...of genres that pretty well represent the ups and downs of the year; there's metal, rock, indie, downtempo, post-rock, IDM, hip-hop and so on. Most of the music was released in 2008, but a few of the songs are from older records that I only just discovered. I've even got a song from a record that was on last year's mix too, because I just didn't stop listening to that album this year. The songs are all tagged, so if you're scared of screamy music you can mass-delete all the metal songs, but there are some real gems in there (you can listen to one of them here) so I encourage you to give the heavy heavy a shot; if you don't like the tech metal you might enjoy the indie metal.

And if you're a new friend, you can find my 2006 and 2007 mixes here and here (I've been doing year-end mixes since 2001, but I've only been uploading them the last few years). I'm getting a 'temporarily unavailable' error from Megaupload on the 2007 mix download, so if it doesn't clear up and you really want that mix just let me know and get you the songs.

As always, if you find a band here you love, please buy their albums and support them.

Charlie Huston - Every Last Drop (Excerpt)

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 01:22:00 +0000

About a year ago I read Charlie Huston's excellent noir vampire novels Already Dead and No Dominion. I also enjoyed (but didn't review) the third book in the series, Half the Blood of Brooklyn, and now the fourth book of a planned five has come out, Every Last Drop. Unsurprisingly, I'm really digging it. But instead of writing a full review (you should just go buy the whole series from Amazon right now) I'm going to post a passage that I read today and really enjoyed.

Don't worry, I omitted a few lines to avoid spoilers.

This won't have the same impact as if you'd read the series up until this point, but in this passage the main character has just experienced a revelation that answers a huge question that the series has been building to up to from the beginning. Kind of a "Luke, I am your father" moment. Joe is notorious for being a loner who cares about very little in life, if anything (obviously ... it is noir, after all), which makes the transition in this passage all the more powerful. Hope you like it.

----

I don't see him anymore. I see the room behind him. I see the [huge spoiler].

The Bronx kid pokes me with his truncheon.

I look at him.

Something crosses his eyes. He looks down. Sees my bare feet.

My hands are on the back of his head and my knee is pushing the bones of his nose back through his brain and I twist his neck and it breaks and I think I start crying.

But it's not why you think.

It's not why you think.

It's not why you think.

I'm simply angry at myself for killing him so fast, so easy. I'd have liked to take my time.

But in the whole universe there is not enough time. There are not enough minutes and seconds for what I'd like to do. For the things I could dream up if I had more time.

The things I could do to this world to make it pay for being the way it is.

I look at the dead body I'm still holding. I drop it. There's a sound when I drop it, metal on stone. I kneel and find the gun under the kid's arm. I take it.

This gun. I love this gun. There are so many wonderful things I can do with this gun. So many people I can kill.

I turn and leave, eager to begin.

Golden Skull

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 01:10:00 +0000

Golden Skull is an iPhone game that I recently downloaded, and I ended up writing a short review of it at the App Store. Since I'd already written the review, and because I have a bunch of friends with iPhones and iPod Touches, I figured I'd copy it here.

Golden Skull is an average game. It's similar to Bubble Breaker and many other "match the colors" gem games, although it does include a light story element. The story would help if it were more than just a way to progress from one stage to the next; Golden Skull doesn't employ any power-up mechanics like, say, Puzzle Quest, where progressing from one battle to the next lets you gain new powers. Also, you have to start over from the beginning of the game if you fail a stage; once you reach the more difficult stages it would be very nice if you could retry them without slogging back through the simple ones to get back to where you were.

The game is moderately polished. The story screens are done in a clean style, and the graphics are generally good. The animation framerate for completing gem combos could stand to be higher, and the sound effects are very basic and get old fast. It's nice that you can select your own music, although it would have been nice if the game had had its own tunes to strengthen the theme (Toy Bot Diaries does this very well).

The only other thing to note is the fact that the game has a major exploit: gold coins, which are your goal on each stage, apparently count as combo completions. The player is not forced to collect gold coins when they drop, however, which means that as long as there is a gold coin in the stage you cannot fail. In other words, you can leave the gold coins on the board as a safety net since you cannot lose if there's one active.

The easiest way to exploit this is to collect the first four gold coins and then earn the final gold coin but not collect it. With the final gold coin on the screen you can just keep completing color combos to run up your score indefinitely. And if you happen to get to a place where there are no more valid moves left (which would normally fail the stage), you can simply collect the last gold coin to complete the stage instead of having to start over.

Maybe this situation makes keeping a few gold coins around an element of strategy, but given that there is no penalty for not collecting them and that you cannot fail with a gold coin on the board, it turns out that it really just lets you artificially inflate your score with no risk. The first stage is so easy that you can trivially keep completing combos and running up your score forever with one gold coin on the screen.

I'm still giving the game 3 stars, because it's by no means a bad game. It's a decent way to pass the time, and it's got an average level of polish, but once you've played it a few times you realize that the story doesn't add much, if anything, and you just have 10 stages. Once you beat those, you're done with the game unless you want to replay it for a better score (which feels cheapened by the exploit above).

Was their first record amazing? Yes. Transcendental? Hard to argue with that. Was their second record a disappointing noise-fest? Yes. But there's still no denying this song. This song is full of so very many moments....the central breakdown and build is among the best things that The Mars Volta have ever done....I just can't get over the depth of that build....and the transition at 8:24 is worthy of metal.

I'm sorry, but this song is as good as anything they've ever done. First record included.

It's been a bit too long since I've posted something here. I've really been digging Caribou lately; I'd checked this dude out a few times in the past but the music never quite grabbed me. For whatever reason I checked it one last time and was hooked. I really dig this song, although I really could have upped just about anything from the reissue of this album, which comes with a bonus disc that's better than most regular albums. I bought two more of his records the other day and am enjoying them just as much.

2007 - The Blender

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 06:35:00 +0000

Another year, another mix. Same deal as last year: mostly it's stuff that came out in 2007, but a portion of it is older stuff that I discovered this year. Going back to my 2002 and 2003 mixes, my timeline with Botch in particular has been comical; I somehow missed 'Worker Bees' for all these years but randomly discovered that gem of a song while working out one day. And let me tell you, 2:40 in that song is where fat girls go to die in mosh pits at metal shows.

Anyway, I think I ended up with a really good mix this year. It of course spans everything from super heavy screamy goodness to downtempo chilled out stuff, so if the first few songs put you off I will weep for you, but stick with it and I'm sure you'll find some stuff you'll like. It moves back and forth between loud & quiet, but the end of the mix trends toward a nice wind-down.

The track listing is below, along with short comments in parentheses. Mostly they're just mentions of my favorite lyrics or moments or thoughts about each song, because whatever, I felt like it.

This is not at all my type of music, but man oh man do I absolutely love this band. If it doesn't hook you right away, stick with it. If you don't feel it at 2:38 then there is something wrong with you.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works

noreply@blogger.com (OneThree) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:30:00 +0000

Edit: Oops, forgot that whole bit where I give the album 5 out of 5 stars!

I remember one time at a Buck 65 show, he introduced his hilarious and entertaining cover of The Jungle Brothers's 'I'm Gonna Do You' by saying, "When I was growing up, The Jungle Brothers made a record called Straight Out The Jungle. Now that album is a classic. And the reason that album is a classic is because every song on that record is amazing."

That's how I feel about Ire Works, which is probably my favorite album of 2007. At first I was lukewarm on a few songs, but heaven help me I even love 'Black Bubblegum' now; it's hard to resist the cheesy hook, and I finally gave up trying.

This album is a clear progression for Dillinger. It's got some of their best math metal ever, but there's so much diversity on the record that it really feels like three different bands, which could have turned out to be a bad thing if their signature stylistic elements didn't traverse the boundaries between songs so well. This album is 1/3 crazy math metal, 1/3 IDM glitch and 1/3 melodic rock. But even that doesn't do it justice, as the glitch songs include metal riffs and melodic vocals, while one of the rock tracks has a positively Latin vibe to it ('Mouth Of Ghosts', available below).

I don't feel like I have too much to say about the record, oddly. I love every single song, even the short ones. And where the short tracks on Clark's Body Riddle felt mostly like filler, the short interludes on Ire Works serve as great bridges between the songs. If you listen to the album straight through (something I rarely do in the age of mp3s and shuffled playlists) there's a cohesion and progression that feels well-planned.

The thing I really love about the album is how many memorable moments it has for me:

-Dmitri's guest vocals in 'Fix Your Face'
-Pretty much all of 'Lurch'
-The surprising vocal appearance at the end of 'Sick On Sunday'
-The swelling, swingin' horns in 'Milk Lizard'
-The surprisingly anthemic chorus riff in 'Party Smasher'
-The throwback/homage 80's trash metal vocals in 'Horse Hunter'
-Brent Hinds's guest vocals in 'Horse Hunter'
-The Latin vibe and piano rundowns in 'Mouth Of Ghosts'

And those are just the ones off the top of my head.

Greg's vocals have grown on me a lot. He's gotten past the obvious Patton/Reznor worship and has come into his own, displaying a huge range on the album; he handles everything from snarling screams to falsetto vocals with style. And Chris Pennie's departure, which could have been a huge disaster for the band, seems like a non-issue once you hear Gil Sharone positively murdering the drums. I don't know much at all about him, but the percussion he brings to the record, which hints at jazz from time to time, is amazing. He even finds a way to make the rock songs feel slightly off-kilter. And, of course, Ben Weinman has written some amazingly intricate guitar runs offset by crushing breakdowns. Everyone showed up for this one.

Okay, I lied, I actually did have a lot to say about the record. I just can't stop listening to it front to back, and I'd encourage you to do the same.

Hello, Avalanche of Boredom. It's not that this album is bad, it's just that it's not very good. I love their previous two records, but this one just spends 43 minutes going exactly nowhere. There are a few songs that show promise, but they fizzle out every time. Man, what a disappointment.
