CraZy how time flies when you're having fun, eh? Thanks, MOG for putting up with me. I'm a bad friend. Only updating only so often. Not keeping up with the Mog-o-Mattic. Barely commenting on all the lovely blog posts from awesome people like Kate, Jenny, kristiana & puffmagic. But I still love you! In the meantime, I've been out building up a huge collection of live music videos I've been shooting here in Philly (including the latest clip of Marnie Stern playing wi... MORE

I joined eMusic a few weeks ago, and it's been going pretty well. The only thing wrong with it is that you don't get 50 free downloads for getting other people to sign up until they actually pay for a month of the service. Other than that, it's great to get DRM-free songs for cheaper than iTMS. Oh, the other problem is that Sub Pop doesn't sell music there. Which really sucks because I'm obsessed with The Thermals. Their new record is pretty much unbelievable. I hea... MORE

I feel like everyone has either heard this or is going to hear this. Marnie Stern is a rockin noisefest of math proportions. If you like Melt Banana, Deerhoof, noise, or lightning quick guitar stabs then I think you will like this. I've been listening to it all week. It's kind of mystical, kind of I don't know what. Definitely sounds chaotic but it's so controlled. Her guitar works at lightening quick speeds. The drummer is Zach Hill (Hella). He does a really great... MORE

Ok, I KNOW I've already written about how I adore Marnie (and really wish I'd seen her at SxSW) but when I came across this description of her music this morning, I had to share. Hit the nail on the head... "Marnie’s got Rage Against The Machine’s slash-and-burn guitar ethics, paired with an updated Lene Lovich hiccuping vocal style. The short strum/slap guitar bridge mid-song is hypnotic. It’s like getting thrown in a cauldron and getting bitch slapped by the girl you ... MORE

Love you Marnie.
Wow! This is probably the best thing we’ve heard on Kill Rock Stars in AGES. With totally spazzed out guitar playing and impassioned vocals, Marnie Stern has grabbed us by the throats and refuses to let us go. (aquarius records)

Marnie Stern shreds. You don't see that much from a female guitar player. You especially don't see that much on an indie label like, ironically, Kill Rock Stars, but there she is. She uses the tapping technique as arpeggiated ostenato to accompany her singing, as opposed to using it for showy fills or improv solos. I just saw her play a show at Atlas Clothing, a new all ages venue in Seattle just down the street from me. It's actually a large converted store room at ... MORE

i've been talking about this album for the past week trying to describe her sound to friends. i've only come up with three descriptions i like; brutal, fucking complicated and this final one "like your head is going on this amazing fucked up journey across the oregon trail." that last one was after i smoked some sweet mary jane but that's how you can really appreciate a complex progressive metal adventure like this album; this is the album people with blacklights dream ab...

I love this song. It's got that one-off rhythm and feels like it's about a beat off from collapsing into a dissonant heap. Genius. And I can't seem to blast it loud enough in my headphones or keep from playing it again after I'm done with it. I really think that this album takes a few listens and then I can almost guarantee you're going to have one of these songs stuck in your head. Which doesn't particularly make sense as they aren't melodic and simple. Quite the co... MORE

To sum up all the online hype I keep running into about Marnie Stern: she totally shreds, plus she writes great songs. Is there such a thing as art-metal? That's what I would call it when music seems really smart but all anyone can say about it is that it is "so fucking awesome." - Every Single Line Means Something (mp3 via Pitchfork) - Absorb Those Numbers (mp3 via Raven Sings the Blues) - Grapefruit (streaming on mySpace) - Put All Your Eggs In One Basket, An...
