Just found out about Happy Rhodes

[youtube=560,345]1zzcMmfGBjY[/youtube]

Quote

The monster paintings on Rhodes' albums often cause viewers to do a double-take, and sometimes give the wrong impression of the music contained within. As Rhodes explains (the following used with kind permission of Happy Rhodes):
“ My father was a painter among other things. I was the only child in the family who displayed artistic talent, so my dad would always coach me. He'd say things like, "Don't henscratch. Just put your pencil to the paper and keep continuous lines as if you KNOW what you're drawing." He also said that nothing I create could be bad; that anything that comes from my imagination can only be good. I loved that because it gave me permission to draw from my imagination. I liked drawing monsters because it served two purposes. It repelled others, which was always a good thing for me, and it allowed me the freedom of not having to study anatomy. I enjoy anatomy very much, but it's so nice to be able to paint something without worrying about correct proportions. I realized at some point that I painted monsters to be my friends and protectors. They were always kind souls who would rip to shreds anyone who tried to hurt me.

I sketched monsters throughout my adolescence, then when I was 14 I convinced my mother to let me paint a monster mural on my bedroom wall. It was about 7 feet tall, had horns, one leg ripped off, demonic eyes and taloned hands with twisted fingers. Oh - and long pointy teeth of course. The monster on my bedroom wall was named, "Alice." It was male not female. My brothers' friends would always ask to come in to see it. Later in my teens I started painting monsters on canvas. I was never a good painter but it was a great hobby for me at the time. I painted a monster on the saddlebag of a motorcycle. I took a picture of it and it became the album cover for Rhodes I.

I continued painting monsters all over my room-some original and some from Dungeons and Dragons. When my mother sold the house a year later, I had to paint over every single one of them. I used two coats of primer and two coats of paint and Alice still kept bleeding through. Someday some poor little kid is going to wake up in the room and see the faint outline of a horrible creature staring at it.

This is for you PD

Enjoying a lot of Teargas and Plateglass, and AUTECHRE lately. Also, Peter Murphy's "Alive Justforlove" live album.

eMusic is full of non-major label goodness. They just changed their subscription plan though, so total downloadable tracks are lower, but any albums with more than 12 tracks will only count as 12 tracks. Which kind of works neater for albums with a lot of tracks, but I'm not clear on whether my legacy plan benefits from this new model.

Also enjoying Khate, who is not featured on emusic, but has a number of excellent tracks on her site:

Quote from: Phoenix Dark on June 24, 2009, 02:24:33 AM

isn't their black singer dude a homo?

I think so. From wikipedia:

Quote

He has been reluctant to discuss his sexuality, though he has compared himself to famous bisexuals Brian Molko and David Bowie, as well as Morrissey.[7] He also discussed the homoerotic story behind his song "I Still Remember" and the semi-autobiographical nature of it, explaining that he no longer feels a need to remain tight-lipped about his sexuality. Okereke did not explicitly define himself as being either gay or bisexual. [7]

Also, I'm Good is definitely growing on me, similar to the way Kinda Like A Big Deal did. I'm excited for the MEGABALLIN' video that is coming out soon for it.

My neighbor's terrible tech-house mix, with the stupid siren effect going off every 2 minutes and tons of distortion because he recorded it with the gain level way too high.

Gillian Welch: Time (The Revelator) - excellent new folk, she can make you feel alone in a crowded room.

Neikku RPM: Rise of the 13th Serpent - more dark techno stuff, it gives me superpowers.

I got to listen to most of this on the weekend when a friend brought over the CD. It's pretty darn good - I can't stand Portnoy's 'singing' especially when it veers into death metal territory so I'm glad there's less than Systematic Chaos.

Didn't get to hear this song, I presume it's the last. I like it - just ordered the limited edition CD.

I'll do that, when a female/male vocal kills it by carrying a note so beautifully, I'll shake my head in disbelief. This is one of those jams that does it to me.

I thought they went downhill with each release, actually. Destination: Beautiful's my favorite, then Everglow (which I was never too big a fan of) and Singularity's just complete shit. I've been really enjoying the new stuff, I'd put it before Everglow, personally.
