2.15 The White Stripes -


I can't believe this band hasn't been tapped yet, but I'm glad to be the one to do it. The White Stripes are a band that have helped shaped my musical tastes over the last decade. The video, shot by Michel Gondry, is another one of my all time favorite videos. So simple but such a huge amount of sound that comes out of a two person band. This is my favorite song from one of my favorite bands.

"Now we're a family!"

I wasn't as into this band's first album as others, but they have some outstanding singles. This is one of them.

I like Radiohead, but I like their guitar tunes more than the experimental stuff. "2+2=5," "Optimistic," and "Bodysnatchers" would have been in the mix for me if I took one.

Go to Sleep was another I thought about. A lot of their stuff sounds better and more "guitary" live. Really started to love Kid A more after seeing them perform songs a couple times.

I would have taken Optimistic if I had stayed in this thing. Kinda wish I had now... :headbang:

I'm pretty sure I could wait a few rounds for this one (and I'm absolutely sure I would have gotten booted if I picked it at 1.01) but here goes anyway.

Actually that was from OH for OH. If it were from me, the grammar would have been impeccable.

I hate to break it to Humanzee, but I own that album---I'm not kidding. It's good. :goodposting:
 
Thanks, Acer, for posting my pic. In case anyone missed it:




In the 90's, the zines and critics mentioned Matt and Bubba Kadane's Bedhead and Low as fellow travellers in the imaginary "slowcore" movement. I was a fan of Low, so in 97 or so I bought Bedhead's Beheaded, listened to it once, then promptly forgot all about it. It was so sparse, slow, and seemingly rudimentary that the one casual listen I afforded the record made absolutely no impression on me. It wasn't until years later, when trying to actually play one of the Kadane's spare and perfectly disciplined compositions that I realized what rare and special realm of genius that they were operating in. It became clear to me that Bedhead were not a band that delivered what you already know you like (choruses, hooks, memorable riffs, etc). Rather, they were a band that demanded something from you instead: attentiveness and concentration, sensitivity, patience. It is very difficult music to make, and to listen to.

Bedhead broke up in '99. Matt and Bubba Kadane (along with Come and Codine's Chris Brokaw) formed The New Year in 2001, and they've proven to be a worthy successor to Bedhead's laborious melancholy. "The End's Not Near" is my favorite composition from either outfit.

This song, like the best of their work, remind me of some kind of Zen meditation: a perfectly disciplined, perfectly controlled exhale. A dozen different muscles working terribly hard, with terrible concentration, to perform a task as simple and essential as breathing.

The video I linked to isn't an official New Year production, just awesome and perfectly appropriate footage that somebody attatched to this song.
